THE COR V ALUS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, APIRL 18, 1890.
The Circus- Spring has come;
there is no getting around that.
There are several indicators of this
fact, but among the whole lot not
one will substantiate it with, so
much certainty as the announce
ment that a circus will pitch its
tent in this portion of the valley
on next Tuesday, the 22nd. An
advertisement elsewhere in the
Gazette says that "McMahon's
new united shows, circus, museum,
wild animal exposition, and grand
f rca in tfirnational horse fair," is
going to give a performance on
that date. This week it is show
ing in Portland, and on Sunday
will be transported up the river on
one of the Oregon Pacific boats to
Harrisburg where it will hold forth
on Monday night thence here on
'Tuesday, after which it will take
in the cities below herethence to
Astoria, and Vancouyer. Wash.
In order to get to these two latter
places it is required to travel by
waterr.and, the management con
cluded to do the same in this val
ley. This circus has its own cars
which are at Albina now. - ..-

OREGON STATE PRISON-
Geo. S. Downing,. superintendent of
the Oregon state penitentiary, has filed
hia first quarterly report for the year
1890. '.The report shows that the daily
average number of convicts has been
324.1 5. The number of convicts at
the close of the last quarter was 312
number of convicts at the close of this
quarter is '320; forty-eight convicts
have bop n received during the quarter,
24 discharged by expiration of term;
three have been commuted - and only
one death has,,; occurred. The total
expenditure for the quarter is-; only
$5,723.50. " Of this amount f 1,83 1 03
was paid out for beef alone. Last
quarter the article could be had four
cents on the pound cheaper than' the
state is having to pay now. The earn
ings for "the quarter was $5,438.15,'
making a gool showing considering
the rough weather that has prevailed
. the list quarter. - T!. employment of.
the convicts has' been well looked
after; 238 have been under contract
work at the foundry; 13 have .been
employed on the farm; . seven- have
been employed in "the laundry; jhree
iu the tailor- shop. . The ntmfber of
sick, aged,, and- decrepit,, i eight per
sons. . ' t "
The circus tent will tbe pitched on
Tuesday next on the flat where the
sham battle was held in '88..
Killed in the Mines. The news
ot the death of A. D. Scrafford
has been received in this.;.' city,
lie was a resident of Corvallis up
to the time of the mining excite
ment in the Coeut d'Alene country
about ten years ago, when he con
cluded to Join the procession of
gold and sil-ver seekers and emi
grated from here- there. About
the first of thismonth he was en
gaged in. working in - one of the
shafts of the mines and while so
doing a cave-in oecuixed and he
was buried by a mass of large
rocks. Death was almost instan
taneous. His body is now interred
in the cemetery near one of the
mining cities. He was about 51
years of age and was the oldest of
six children four boys and two
gil ls., J. It. Scrafford, of Corvallis,
is one of them." It was the inten
tion of A. R. to have returned to
Corvallis during, the coming sum
mer and reside during the rest of
his life, as he had accumulated
enough of wealth to be independ-(
ent of doing manual labor from
the present time on.
Its Taxes. In California, it is
said, the S. P. pays taxes on $10,
000 to $20,000 a mile on its road
bed, the latter being the assess
ment in ISsikiyou county. In Ore
gon it kicks vociferously at any
thing between $2,500 and $3,000 a
mile. In its transfer from the O.
& C. to -the S. P. it is 'said it was
given a bonded indebtedness of
$30,000 a mile. If so, the fact
suggests something for our asses
sors to act on. There is nothing
like equality in this glorious age.
Democrat.
No Politics In It. A member
of I he "nationalist club" of Cor
vallis states that this club is not,
as many suppose, an adjunct of any
political party. Among its mem
bers are people who belong to
each' of the parties republicans,
democrats, and union. Its objects
are to discuss economic questions
and, where possible, to use its in
fluence, for all worthy reforms
Water Tanks. Three galvan
ized iron tanks whose average ca
pacity, is about 1,600 gallons, are
being made - in the establishment
of J. Ji. Clark, this city, and when
finished will be shipped by boat to
AVm. Peabody, who lives in this-
county, just opposite Albany. He
is-the gardener and did the correct
thing when he had the order filled
here. - . ' -
The "Citizens." Elsewhere in
the Gazette appears the "citizens'
ticket" as formed'at the citizens'
meeting held in the court house on
last Saturday evening. It' is for
you, if youCfre a voter, to decide
upon whether or not you are suited
with, these candidates. Announce
ments of other aspirants to the city
offices appear in another column.
Sick. In the trial vesterdav of
the State vs. A. Bumbarger, the
prosecuting witness, II. McKenzie,
was unable to be present in per
son at the court house owing to
sickness, and his testimony was
taken before the judge and jury in
his room in the Vincent hotel, he
being bedfast.
R. It. IftoN. A vessel loaded
with railroad iron for the Southern
Pacific company arrived in Port
land lately. A portion of the iron
will be used on the extension of
that company's road south from
Corvallis to the present main line.
