Sleeklg Crfetl?s (Sajctte. FRIDAY MORNING, 3NOV. 16, 1883. Entered at the Postoffiee at Corvallis Oregon, as second-class matter. -EDITED BY- vl. S. WOODCOCK, ATTORNEY AT LAW. OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COuriTY A KNAVE OR HIS FOOL. "Billy Patterson," the chronic liar of fthe benton leader, in the last issue of that bundle of wise (?) things, sound ing like senseless word vaporings from a meaningless imbecile, were the fol lowing false assertions, to-wit : "The mountain, though charges the honest hard-worked farmers $25 and upward for examining their deeds prior to mortgaging the same to the school commissioners. This is about an hours work." This infamous lie, is evidently in tended to refer to our official acts as agent for the State School commis sioners in examining the securities and doing the necessary work to safely effect loans of school funds. The as sertion on its face shows the writer to be as ignorant as a mule or else he is purposely and dishonestly endeavor ing to mislead the public. Our work which we have done in effecting school loans consists, 1st, of drawing a written application for the party asking a loan to sign. 2nd, ascertaining the value of land offered, which often spoils the best part of one to three days. 3rd, examining all the deed and mortgage indexes through for every man who ever owned the land. 4th, examine every deed made by each and every man who ever owned the land, to any lands in the county to as certain if such deeds interferes with the title in question. 5th, examine every mortgage made in the county by each and every man who ever owned Jthe land in question. 6th, examine all judgment dockets of both circuit and county courts, going through each of them thoroughly for every man's name who ever owned the land 7th, ex amine the record book of attachments. 8th, if the land was ever owned by any person when such person died, then examine thoroughly all the probate records and papers of that estate to see if the proceedings to sell the land through administrator's sale was cor rect and vallid. 9th, if the land was ever sold at sheriffs sale, examine thoroughly all records, papers, re turns of service and proceedings in selling the land to ascertain if a valid judgment was had and a valid sheriff sale of the land made, roth, make and prepare a thorough written ab stract of title as it appears and is found in the above examination. 1 rth, if the descriptions are apparently in definite so that it is impossible to tell from a simple inspection of the deeds if it is right, then take the necessary drafting instruments and make a plot on paper of the land as described. 1 2th, if after doing all these things it is found that the title and value of the land is as the law requires, then cer tify these facts in writing to the board of school land commissioners at Salem. 13th, if the loan is ordered to be made then we make out the neces sary mortgage and note and see that it is properly executed and placed on record. The doing of all these things and the looking after each item enumera ted carefully, every searcher of records knows full well has to be done in or- j 1 .1 ... 10 nave any assurance mat it is correct, the assertions of "Billy Pat terson" to the contrary, notwithstand ing. During a professional career of about ten years for the kind of work above enumerated, we have charged all persons alike in proportion to the amount of work in each case, gener ally from ten to thirty dollars, and in very few cases where the examination was long and difficult, or the title was found bad and work done to correct it, the charges have been as high as forty dollars, and so long as we con tinue to examine titles and value land no matter whether it be for the school commissioners or private parties, we shall make similar charges for services, regardless of the idiotic lies of "Billy Paterson" leader. As. many people do not have an accurate idea of what the "examination of titles" mean and as "Billy Patterson" leader has shown himself as dumb as an ourangoutang on this subject, or else as dishonest as a knave in making the false statement purposely to deceive the public, we deem it proper to make the foregoing detailed statement. THE EFFECT OF DISFRANCHISING UTAH. It seems that persons who would not relish the idea of being considered unwise are becoming enthusiastic over the proposition to disfranchise the people of Utah and place the government of the territory on a basis like that of the District of Columbia in order to suppress polygamy and de feat the objects of Mormonism. This however is certainly only a temporary, one sided remedy which could effect nothing as an ultimate result. It might have the effect to cast a tem porary shadow over the efforts to polygamy in Utah for a time, but how could it effect the question in other territories? It was only a few days ago that it was announced that 85 wagons from Utah laden with Mormon families and their wares had started to settle in Arizona. For several years the world has been informed upon good authority that counties in Idaho and other territories were so thickly populated with Mormons that they govern the public affairs of their re spective localities. What would a law disfranchising Utah effect the Mormons and polygamists of Arizona, Idaho or any other territory or locality except Utah ? There is only one answer to this question and that is when a law disfranchising Utah was being enforced it would no doubt have the effect to cause Mormons and po lygamists of Utah to gradually with draw from that place and transfer themselves, their property and oppc rations to Arizona, Idaho, or some other place outside of Utah, and thus the gentiles of Utah would be left there disfranchised with Congress as their guardian while the lecherous polygamists would be in other parts practicing their infamous crimes against the laws of the country. It certainly will require stronger medi cine than disfranchisement of a single territory to eradicate the crime of polygamy. It certainly occurs to the mind of mature thought that the only way to effectually deal with it is to make it a crime with severe punish ment any place and so organize the courts and modes of trial that the vio lations thereof can be proved and punished. SEW ARRIVAL OF LATER DAY SAINTS. A recent dispatch contains the lol 1 " r r lowing news 01 inormonism : A new contingent of 358 proselytes of the Latter day Saints arrived from Liver pool on the Wisconsin yesterday. A large number of them were comely young women, and the party was un der charge of twenty returning elders, who had been on a recruiting service tor about two years and a half. Of the 358,120 were Scandinavians, and the rest English, Scotch and Welsh. the men were farmers, miners and laborers. It was learned that there are two classes of Mormons recruiting one known as the branch of Jo sephites, or followers of Joseph Smith, and the other polygamists, or sup porters of polygamy. The new arri vals will decide at some future time which faith they will embrace. The Astorian says: It is about time for the newspaper proprietors of Ore gon and Washington to form a mutual protection society in reference to swindling advertising agencies. Eith er that or publish from time to time the names of those they know to be frauds. Ed. We second the motion as to the first proposition. So long as trie newspaper men take the ads. of such bilks to publish without requir ing them to pay in advance and do not take any steps toward protection they must expect to be bilked. An excursion partv of capitalists and merchants, representing sixty millions or more capital and including some of the "most prominent business men of the Mexican republic, left Chihuahua, recently for Kansas City, Mo. The party travel as guests of the Mexican Central, Santa Fe and Mis souri Pacific roads. After visiting Kansas City they will go to Chicago. The excursion originated with a view to tne establishment of new trade lations with northern Mexico. re- The Democratic newspapers are unanimous on one topic, says the Astorian. They all agree that there must be no river and harbor appro priation bill passed by the congress that meets next month. They want their party to go before the people at the next election with a record for economy. The man that died to save expenses of living . is the most suggestive prototype of such misesable onoortunitv which afford, siUfrtnn . A 1 J - W..... rr li -yt I , J WHEN AND HOW TO SELL CROPS. The farmer who knows when and how to sell his crops to the best ad vantage is more fortunate than his fellows who lack such knowledge. There can be no definite rule by which to insure alwavs the best prices, but there are certain general rules well es tablished that may be observed with profit. The most important of these is that a crop fitted for the market should be sold at a time which will best suit the seller. That is to sav, if he permits himself to be hampered in such a way as to allow the buyer to make terms, both as to price and time of delivery, he is practically without voice in the matter. The first requisite in entering the market with reasonable expectation of obtaining prices for products that will afford profit on the labor of producing them is, that they be of good quality and deliverable in good order. A farmer who has a crop of wheat threshed soon after harvest, well cleaned and stored in bins, is able to exert some influence in fixing the price. If he has a desirable crop there is in it something to tempt the buyer, an in ducement to reach the highest figure. Now, if added to this there is safe con fidence in the integrity of the farmer his profits in sales are still further aug mented. What is regarded as integ rity in this case is that high character of the farmer which inspires confidence that the crop shall be what it appears to be, clean at the top, in the middle and at the bottom, that the bins as they show give true ideas of condition and quality. It is true that careful observance of these requirements will not always secure the prices necessary to bring profit, but it will secure the best prices that are paid at that time. Then comes the question about de lay, about holding products for bet ter prices. Of this personal judgment must oc tne sole guide. Many a farmer, not satisfied with current rates for his products, holds without defi nue iaeas aDout cnances; without in forming himself what influences are ex erted or may be exerted, to advance or depress prices, simply waiting, Mi-cawber-Iike, for something to turn up. There is no wisdom in this course. about the markets except as prices are quoted to him, will usually do the best when he sells at a price that affords profit, because he does not know when to wait, tie has no rea son to justify holding, although such reasons may exist. After all it is not a bad rule for any farmer to sell his products when ever the prices afford satisfactory profit. When the markets are steady, with general tendencies upward, and he has full understanding of the situ ation, he may wait without incurring risks, that is to say, he may await his convenience for the delivery take his own time when it will best fit into the general work. But when prices fluc tuate materially, he will do better to "catch on," as the street phrase runs, when the price has suitable margin of profit. That for him is the time, while failure to use it will be very likely to put his products at the bottom. im -n 1 , . . 1 ne influences wnicn govern the markets differ very greatly from those of a few years ago. Now all the prin cipal products of the farm may be de uvered in large cities from an extent of country vastly beyond that which forty years ago was the restricted source of supply. Wheat is delivered from Chicago, St. Louis or Milwaukee as quickly as a few years ago it could be delivered from counties adjacent to the cities which are the ultimate mark ets, and the same is true of all other farm products, including cattle, sheet. and swine. In effect the field is mul tiplied a thousandfold, and therefore competition multiplied a thousandfold. There is so much less chance- for in dividual advantage. On the other hand the means of information are so greatly extended and their operation so much quickened, that an intelligent farmer may have far better understand ing of the market. If he studies con ditions with care he will be able al ways to act intelligently in selling. Market reports make up fairly, not in the interest of buyers, nor of seller, but rather to represent the true con dition of affairs, hecome safe guides to sound judgment, and such reports are accessible to all farmers. The one general rule that should govern in selling and buying is : get full infor mation of all conditions affecting the product offered, then seize upon the C. H.

Readers of the Commercial can not well forget that a iare space has for years been taken up by Kendall's advertisement especially of a certain Spavin Cure. We have had dealings with Dr. Ken. dall for many years, and the truth Is fully and faith ully proven not only that he is a irood honest man. and that his celebrated Spavin Cure is not only all that it b recommended to be, but that the English laatgassKde not capable of recommending too highly. Kendall's Spavin Cure will cure spavins. There are hundreds 01 cases in which that has been proven to our certain knowledge, but, after all, if any person connnes me usciumess 01 inis celebrated medicine to curing spavins alone, they make a bit; mistake. It is the best ;: ediciive known as an outward applica tion for rheumatism in the human family. It is good for pains and aches, sWehjBga and lameness, and is just as safely applied to men, women and children as it is to horses. We know that there are other good linaments, but we do believe this spavin cure to be far better than anv.ever invented. Kenuati s spavm Cure Colton, Cal., Oct. 3, 1SS2. B. J. Keddall & Co . Gents: While in the employ of C. C. Hastings, the well known horseman of Sau Francisco, in the year ending 18l0, we had a young horse two years old that contracted a bone spavin and seeing your liniment known as Kendall's Spavin Cure advertised, upon my own responsibility I commenced using it and within thirty days from that time and after having used only three bottles the spavin was removed entirely, aud therefore 1 naturally have the utmost confidence in its merits. 1 do not hesitate to recommend it to all who have occasion to use the medicine and should any one desire to' confer with me 1 shall be glad to answer any communication relating to the case in question.

I used it in several instances upon splints, which after a few app.ications were entirely removed. I also used it on a spavin with the sam results. The medicine has grown in popularity in this vicinity in the past few months and what is said here to-day 1 believe is put out upon its merits. Ai,J. A A1CCOKD, Foreman for City R. R. Co.
