mWM- PAPER FOR BENTON COurtTY
HAT FRIEND OF SCHOOLS.
Wfcat li Your Name 7
poor deluded individual writ
ing from this place and published o
the Daily Oregonian of the 10th and
who signs himswlf A Friend to
Schools,1' who attempts uoder that
decilful nondeplume to abuse the
"Stale Board of school land Commis
sioners" for the system adopted by
them ucder which they loan the
school tunds has not learned that the
fund at Salem became so far exhaus
ted mora than two weeks ago that
the board were compelled to refuse a
lot of good loans for lack of funds,
and instead of their system of valu
ation, ot laad and examination ot
titk driving borrowers awayfrom it
that there are twice as many borrow
era as there are funds to loan. These
would be Philanthropists who rush
into nondeplume newspaper notoriety
fearing to sign their proper names,
are generally actuated by moie sel
fish motives than friendship to
schools. If they had the manhood
to sign their real names to such com
munications they might be detected
as being in the interest of some per
son who had failed in imposing in
adequate security or a defective title
0o the board as security for a loan.
The system adopted by the pres
ent board is the same as pursued dur
ing Gov. Thayer's administration.
The system then worked well in pro
tecting the fund aud preventing loss
to it and for that reason the present
board continues the same system.
Yet there are a class of individuals
who do not appreciate that kind
of a system because it is not liberal
spougfa. They long for the tjood
old times of liberality wj

Mr. Grove's adftWstratiou about
$400,000, J&yWlike his system
ofdoiag tbitigs acd they generally
despise tin administration which
followed and tine present one for
their economy and safety to the
public funds. Asarnleth;s class of
individuals act as if they imagine
that the school fund is created for
them and they exhibit a sudden and
continued dislike tor any officer who
will not take their dictum as to the
value of their land aud the condition
of their titles and who will not per
mit them to get their fingers on the
fond immediately and take about
whatever security they see proper to
offer. Under the present system of
valueing lands for security to school
loans and examination of title in
this county during the aTl ministra
tion. of Gov. Thayer, Earhart and
Hirsch, an examination of title was
bad to certain lands which had pre
viously been given for a loan of $1003
to the school fund, and it was found
that the legal title to the land was
in a man who had lived in Califor
nia for several years and the party
who gave it for security simply had
the possession and" no legal title
Whatever. An application had pre.
viously been sent to Salem to the
board at another time for aloan with
certificate that the party desiring
le .loan was the owner in fee
simple of certain land. A subse
quent examination ot the title re
sulted in ascertaining that the party
laving the legal title was in another
person all together and he lived up
sear Walla Walla,
We might go ahead and recount
dozens of instances ot similar resuttB
which were only discovered by the
most thorough examination of title
and in every instance the parlies
were resting under the belief that
their titles were the most perfect.
The Letter retired to was certainly
either written by some one who lit--tie
understands what he was writing
about or else he was purposely in
tending to deceive the public, be
cause it is almost wholly made up of
ujstatemeats and falsehoods. If this
party js really a friend to the schools
V he pretends to be be should favor
the schools by supporting his state
iaenta,arxth nis true signature so that
die people can judge of his motives.
And we believe that every honest
man when assailing the management
f public s$&it if bis motive are
pure will come out in broad day light
and support his opinions with the
presence of his countenance and not
bide himself in darkness behind a
nondeplume. The board were in
formed as much as a year or two ago
by the presenfc examiner of titles for
this county that if there was any
person here who would do the work
of examining the value and titles to
the land for school loans so as to bet
ter advance the interests of the fuuds
the present incumbent would step
down and out at any time. But a
to examining the lilies and valueing
the lands and making the certificate
required, which virtually amounts to
warranting the titles, the present in
cumbent of this county will not per
form such duties for any trilling sum
to be dictated by parties whose mo tives
are to get their long bony fing
ers into the fund, and whose lis
plensure is occasioned simply because
they can not accomplish such an un
worthy object. The school funds in
Benton county are not suffering and
under the present management no
loans have been made but what can
be called in at any lime after they
arc due, and the interest is paid
promptly and no such things can be
said of those made prior to that time.
Under the present management such
loans are made in the interests of the
fund and not particularly in the in
terests ot the borrower. In former
years during those good old times
such loans were generally made in
the interests of the borrower and
that is what poor Nasby and the
rest of the people at the cross roads
lent; to see again.
PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.
The following are some of the
principal poinls contained in the bill
which passed th U. S. Senate last
week on the subject of presidential

THE MURDERER'S CONFESSION.
For the mnrder ct E. H. Cummins
the O. R. N. Cos. agent at New York
Bar, W. T., last summer, Canady
Owenby who was recently tried for
the offense which resulted in a hung
jury after which Owenby made a
confession in which ho implicated
Ezra Snodderly and J. M. McPher
son who were examined before J us
tice ot the Peace L. D. Drake, at
Dayton, gW. T-, and were bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury.
In Owenby's confession he also
implicated Johnson Porter formerly
of this place, on the ground that
MePherson had told him that he had
to give Porter $200 for a pistol and
to keep h'.s mouth 6hut. This will
be taken down as being very thin by
most people in and about Corvallis
who have known Johnson Porter
during the last several years. At
least they will wait very anxiously
for some proof more creditable than
lha bare statement of those murder
ers before they will believe that
young Porter was implicated in the
affair. Young Porter grew up to
manhood in and about Corvallis and
was known as a quiet inoffensive aud
industrious boy until a few months
ago when he went lo V. T., where
he has been in business with a couple
ot his uncles. Ii, is contrary to the
very nature of things for a boy of
this kind to step suddenly into the
commission of the worst of crimes.
Hardened criminals do not become
so suddenly, but on the contrary they
are made so step by step by degrees
from bad to worse until the worst be
comes of them. When last here
Porter was engaged with his uncle
lo work in the warehouse as be had
been for years before steady and
industrious aid to think now that he
has changed from that kind of life in
the short space of five or six months
to entering into murderous conspira
cies with condemned criminals to
murder his fellow men for money
is certainly contrary lo all human
experience and revoking to human
nature. And then again it is under
stood that young Porter was in easy
circumstances and did not need
money but had plenty ot his own.
AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION.
A western lawyer is engaged in
preparing an amendment
to the constitution, which will be
offered for congressional action this
session, that will make it possible for
citizens of any slate to bring suit
against any other state. This amend
ment is being prepared at the in
stance of holders ot state bonds is
sued by stales, such as Tennessee,
which have endeavored to repudiate
their obligations, and the gentleman
who has it in charge says the Ten
nessee delegation in congress aro in
favor of such action. The proposed
amendment contemplates the resto
ration of the condition of affairs prior
lo the adoption of the lllh amend
ment to the constitution in 1878,
when citizens could bring suit against
any stale but their own.
In answer to some questions pro
pounded by us a tew days ago to the
state board of school land commis
sioners in regard to a loan, the sec
retary replied to our queries in the
following language, lo wit: "The
Board may loose a tew good loans
but there are plenty of others. The
Board could loan a million of money
at the present rates. Money o
mortgages is worth a little more
than 8 per cent now and will con
tinue to advance until there is some
change in the law fce." ;
We simply qiiote the above to
show that what we have said in re
gard to the untruthfulness of those
pretended public spirited, quacks
who are entering into newspaper
correspondence and denouncing the
management of school loans . when
their object is due to disappointment
becanse Ihey cam get their fingers
on the fund on their own terms and.
they rush into print and announce
that a "Daniel hath come to judge
ment," aud other titles over different
nondeplumes.
The winter in England has so far
been unusually mild and moist. Jen
nings, the London correspondent of
the New York World, writes that
"the primroses are blossoming in the
country and the thrushes singing
just as if it were spring." But there
has been a deluge of rain, a constant
down-pour, which has swollen the
rivers above their banks and placed
all the lowlands under the water.
This uncomlortable drenching has
extended to the continent, especially
to Germany, Eastern France and
Northern Italy, where the rivers
have risen to flood height, and there
has been great destruction of pro
perty aud considerable loss of life.
MEXICAN TREATY.
There are thirty-two articles of
import from Mexico which aro pro
posed to be admilted free of duty in
to the United Stales. Of these, 24
are already on the free list and six
are not articles produced in our
country.' Only two in the list sugar
and tobacco are products of the
United States. In return for -these
the Mexican government proposes to
admit free of duty all hardware, wools
and machinery adapted to the mining
and agriculture. It is said that Mex
ico produces only about one fourth
the amount of sugar necessary for
home consumption.
The potato crop of 1881 wasagener
al'faijure throughout the United States
and the price of tubers rose to such a
height that it Was found profitable
to import them in considerable quan
tities from New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, Scotland and Ireland. But it
is not probable any one had an idea
of the magnitude of the business.
The books of the Customs Bureau,
however, show that nearly nine mil
lions ot bushels were imported during
the last fiscal year, their value being
$4,500,000, and the duty on them
$1 18,476. It is almost incredible
that in a country of such vast terri
tory as the United Slates, and with a
soil and climate unsurpassed for the
growing of this edible, we should
be put to the necessity of importing
rline million bushels of potatoes in a
single year.
Ii will be remembered that Presi
dent Arthur, in his annual meesage,
urged upon Congress the considera
tion of Civil Service Reform, and
pledged himself in advance to sup
port any reasonable plan for such re
form. The bill, which has passed
the Senate, will afford him ail op
portunity lo redeem his pledge. So
much will depend upon the disposi
tion of the-Executivo to give effi
ciency lothe plan that it is "ratify
ing In know that the President re
gards it witli favor, and will strive to
make it a success.
The commissioner ot public works
says that the city of Chicago used
dining the year 24,150,000,000 gal
lons of water, equal to a canal twenty
feet wide, ten feet deep, from New
York lo San Fr.incisco.
A frame structure, 600 feet Ions
and 50 feet wide, belonging to M
Kee &, Fuller, car manufacturers, at
Allentown, Pa., fell under the weight
of snow on the roof. Several cars
and engines in the building were
ruined. Loss, $120,000.
HORRIBLE FIRE AT MILWAUKEE, WIS.
A Six story Hotel Born3 to the Ground
One Hundred Lives Lost In the
Terrible Conflagration.
On Wednesday of last week at abont 3:47
in the morning, the alaHR of fire was given
aud . was found that the Newhall house
was on fire. By the time general alarm
could be-given the whole south fiont of the
building was in flames. So rapidly did the
fire spread that about one hundred of the
unfortunate inmates perished in the flames
or were killed in attempting an escape.
-The scene in th9 alley west of the burn
ing building was sickening. As early as six
o'clock the bodies of seven unfortunate wait
er girls were stretched upon the snow and
ice, with broken limbs, writhing in agony
until death ended their sufferings. After
almost superhuman efforts ladders were
stretched from the roof of the bank to the
sixth story of the hotel, and the brave fire
laddies carried ten girls across tho frail
bridge, four of them dead.
The telegraph wires inclosing the building
on the south and east sides played sad havoc
with those who made the frightful leap for
life. Several bodies were fairly cut in two
by the wires, and the torn and bleeding
forms would drop to the ground. Others
would hit the wires cross ways, rebound and
be hurled to, the ground with a dreadful
crash.
To the unfortunate waiter girls, all lodged
in tbe sixth story and attics, the saddest lot
has fallen. Of the sixty young girls only
eleven were heard from alive as late as yes
terday evening. It is feared the estimate
of fifty lives lost, as formed yesterday njorn
ihg, Islar too low, and fully double that
number are burned or smothered to death
in the blazing fire.
' Since the fire, intense excitement prevail
ed and workmen have beeu busy removing
the debris and taking out the charred re
mains of the unfortunate victims. Nearly
all of whon cannot be recognized from what
remainedof them.
Wm. McKenzie, a night watchman at the
hotel makes the following important state
ment: On the night of the fire I made my
rounds as usual, visitiug tbe different lodg
ing doors and basement rooms, and saw
nothing unusual; observed the bar room
open till two o'clock in the morning; George
Schiller was there tor about three quarters
of an hour; after I had been to tbe wood
room, about 2 A. M., and in opening the
door leading to the bar-room, I saw that
place still occupied; at a later hour I ran
the elevator down o the bottom landing to
take up a gentleman who came from the
bar; at 3:30 o'clock in the morning T. B.
Elliott came on late train; I was in tbe office;
he asked me if the elevator was running. I
told him J would take him up, and did so,
letting him oat at the third floor; then went
up to-the top floor, taking a railroad conduc
tor up from the third to that floor; I looked
round the halls and got into the elevator to
go down; this was a few minutes past 3:30
A. M. ; as I got into the elevator I noticed
a very little smoke; I immediately started
down to see where it came from; by the
time I reached the office floor tbe smoke was
so dense I could go no further in the eleva
tor; throwing open the door I rushed out
and started for the stairs, shouting to the
night clerk that there was fire below and I
was going to see about it; by the time I
reached the bottom of the elevator shaft the
smoke was so dense and stifling I knew
something must be done; call to the engineer
who was in the engine room; told him to
rouse the servants; then I started back to
awaken the people; by the time I reached
the first floor above the office, aud had rap
ped at Mr. Crammer's door, the heat crack
ed the glass doors to the elevator, and in a
moment afterwards tbe flames poured out.
I then rushed into the bank building and
aroused as many lodgers in that portion as
I could. Afterwards 1 rendered what help
I could in raising the people. I hardly
know what to say about the commencement
of the fire, but know it caught at the bot
tom of the elevator, and not the upper
floors. There was nothing anywhere around
the elevator thafcould burn so quickly, and
at half past three o'clock there was no
smoke in the elevator. Either Elliott or
myself would have noticed it. After the
smoke was observed there was sorcely time
to do anything before the whole thing was
ablaze. It might have caught in one of the
shops in the basement that back up to the
bottom of the elevator, but on the bottom
floor of the hotel part there was nothing
that could possibly born that way, and
that could have been smouldering through
out the night. This is shown by the fact
that so many were around until such a short
time before tho actual blaze occurred . I
,don't know that the fire was incendiary,
but there is a very queer look about it."
Nearly a week since the fire and the
wildest reports of tho first day are fully re
alized. Up to 6 o'clock on the night of the
16th, 28 bodies were recovered, and three
more were found to-day bv noon. All the
girls in the laundry doubtless were strug
gling to reach the passage out into the bank
building when the flames and smoke stopped
them.
G eo. Schiller, lessee of the bar of the New
hall house was arrested last Tuesday on
suspicion of having set fire to the hotel.

GHEAT CONFLAGRATION.
Amphitheatre Burned at St- Petersburg
400 Lives Lost.
A circus at St. Petersburg caught fire and
burned last Saturday from the earless hand
ling of fire afms. The audience of 800
rushed to the front door which opened in
wards. The crowd pressed forward and it
could not bo opened. They then made for
tho two side doors, but both were nailed up,
compelling the people to take to the win -dows,
from which many sprang into the
streets with their clothes a sheet of flames.
The fire brigade arrived within half an hour,
but it was impossible to extinguish the
flame3, as the water in the tanks was frozen.
The fire lasted two hoars. Au eye witness
states that when the doors was finally open
ed a mass of burning persons were visible
within. The horses of the circus were all
destroyed. The circus was a wooden struc
ture. The horses running about wildly in
creased the confusion. It is stated now
that 400 persons were suffocated, crushed
or burned to death.
The ice broke while the fire brigade was
crossing the river, thus preventing them
from reaching the fire more promptly.
It is estimated 90 men, 120 women and
60 children lost their lives. The yijtims
include the colonel of police and vice pres
ident of the Berditscheif bourse. The au
dience consisted mainly of Jews.
Another account says the fire was caused
by a groom having thrown a lighted ciga
rette on the straw in the st .bles, setting it
on fire. Another groom tried to stamp out
the fire, but a strong draught fanned the
flames and caused them to spread. The
author of the fire perished, also two clowns,
believed to be Englishmen.
Yesterday a man, whose wife and three
children are among the' victims, stabbed a
senior member of the merchants' guild in
the street and then tried to cut his own
throat. It is supposed the murdered man
abandoned the assailant's wife and children
in order to effect hi3 own escape from the
building.
