September 14th was the day fixed by tho court for the receiver to comply with the order for payment of the employes, and to present bis report thereon. Judie Pipes was in attendance all day, and with the counsel for the men, Messrs. WeatUer ford and Chamberlain, was waiting the re- ceipt of the expected telejjram. At 5:30 the telegram not having come, the judge noti fied all parties that he 'would sit at 2 o'clock the next day, Tuesday. Late ou Monday night a long telegram to Judge Pipes was received here, explaining the reasons for the receiver's inability on that day to comply with the order of the court. The report in question was read at the opening of the sit ting on Tuesday. It set forth that the re ceiver's arrangements for selling the cer tificates in New York had been upset by notice sorved by the counsel for the Farm ers Loan & Trust Company on him, and widely circulated in financial ciroles in New York that the order of the court here for n- it.

Th rniintv court and the assessor will soon give notice to the public of the Benton county board of equaliza tion, and there will be no more cor rections ar alterations of the assess-rrtent-iroll after the adjournment of this board. All taxpayers will have am pi 9 opportunity to inspect their as Hessments at the meeting, and should they fail to attend, it would be unwise and impolite to find fanlt with any mistake that may confront them when the taxicollection time arrives. Many iftipleasantries would be wisely avoided by attending both city aud county bonlsof-equalization. . i that the notice in question had been re called and retracted by the counsel who had published it. but that too short a time had since elansed to negotiate a sale ot sain se curities, and therefore asked for au exten sion cf time until November 1st. After the report was read Mr. Vm. M. FToai?. attorney hi fact for tbe receiver, oa- .ln-sxad the court, and supported the re- ceivei's petition for extension of time until November 1st. He proceeaea io snow, i.y reference to a memorandum he produced, that the road was between four aud live months behind in payment of wages, and nwar.lf. f S30.C00 for after incurred cur- reut expenses making upward of $178,000 paid by him between October 2bUi, lbUU and September 5th, 1891. The payment of mouths was to the men having ueen n,.1n as follows: One in October, two in December, 1S90, and one eaoh in February, March, May, June and September, Ho stated that the necessity of laying up the steamship "Willamette Valley," and 11 1 making heavy repairs on her in July ana August, 1891, has not only st' pped a large proportion of the receipts of the road, but involved considerable outlay, aud that these two causes bad prevented further payments being made in July and August to the men. Attorney-General Chamberlain then ad dressed the court, and urged that the Re cievei'd application for more time rested only on a statement that some attorney in New Y'ork h ad given some opinion that the certificates were illegal, which was really no excuse for not having sold the certifi .... .uid raised the money. He then pro ceeded to read the petition of John Tway for the prcmptory removal ot the ueciever, said that their clients (those of the railroad employes that they represented) were will ing to take the chances of .swapping h.rses while crossing the stream and they wanted some citizen of Oregon to bs appointed, of whom there were plenty to be found, who were quite competent to manage the rail road, and who could at least make as good a shwwing as Colonel Hogg had done in sell ing the certificates, and if they failed it would theu be a justification to Coloucl Hogg fr his not having been able to raise the money. Counsel theu referred in strong terms to the suffering of the men by failure to pay their wages, aud spoke of what they might do if the more conservative element lost control. based. Attorney General Chamberlain re plied that their advice had boeu given iu ignorance of the' fact that the court bad di rected the payment. The judge stated that the pavment of the men was his most an xious wish, and that he would remove any and every obstacle iu the way of their get ting their money to which the arm and power of the court could extend, and es pecially that in this present cisd the pay ment was made by the receiver nmler his own special order. Whereupon the Judge rose to sit again ou October 20th as above stated. The Bridge Collapsed. The large bridge that spans tho Luckamute several miles north of this city, on tho road that leads from Corvallis to Independence, known as the Davidson bridge, collapsed last Thursday, while a band of cattle were crossing. Twenty eight wero killea out right, and fourteen were wounded. They were the property of Brown Bros., of Soap creek, who were taking them to Sal?m tor the market. The forty-two cattle at first refused to go across, but finally went with a rush. The load was too heavy for the bridge, and 100 feet of it went down, taking all of the cattle to the bottom, a distance of forty or fifty feet, with it, laming and injuring the remundier, so that nearly all of them died. One of the Browns had just driven his horse to tho bridge, with the front feet oa it, as the bridge gave way. But the animal was too quick, and jumped back in time to save his own life and that of the rider. Th.9 loss of the owner of tho cattle is 1200 to 1500, while Polk countj will suffer equally as much. A Canserv at Philomath. Even our neighboring little town of Philomath is moy- incr the co"8 of progression, and now taiks in dead earnest of building a fruit carnuery, to be ready for operation in the spring. When a small town talks business likes that, we feel like tickling Corvallis in the ear as a means of waking her up again on the can pi-v nnpstion. It tukes live men to make a live town, and we believe the people cut there at Philomath are a live people. If thev put their speculative talk into active performances, astonising realities will follow in the erection of a fruit cannery that will do credit to this section, for a combination of business men and farmers can do great things when they-get down to business oper ations. " ' - The Wheat Market. Wheat was 80 cents in Corvallis yesterday, and the market was thoucht to be decidedly strengthening. In Albany the quotation was alittle stronger than these fiimrcs. beinsr 30? cents. In Salem it was considerably weaker, bein 77 ceuts. This is the first time the Cor vallis market has been outranked in pnea since the raise. Last Saturday wheat was quoted in Salem at 77 cents, in Albany at 1S cents, and in Corvallis at 80 ceut3. It would be a hard matter to presnme the con ditions in another week 8 time, but the ten deney at this writing is upward, without question. While the market heru remains very stable, at neghboriug towns prices are fluctuating. Their "Wats. It is more fun to see a man read a puff about himself in a newspaper than it is to seie a fat, short legged pig jump a barb-wire fence. The narrow-minded man will tickle himself on the jaw and pull down his vest, and chuckle a little, and then think that "the earth, aud the fullness thereof," were made for him, aud he almost feels as though he ought to sub srnhe for the uaner. The kiud-hearted family man goes home and reads it to his wife, and then pays up his dues to tiie paper. The successful business man, who advertises regularly and makes money, starts immediately to find the editor and speak a word of acknowledgement; and the two men go out of the sanctum, and walk thought fully down the street together, and the business man takes sugar in nis, ana they both eat a clove or two, and life is sweeter, and peace, like a gentle dove, settles down in their hearts lrom that moment. - It pays m the long run to lis kind to the newspaper man. and for the business men to deal out a little cash occassionaliy for advertising, and tell the editor that his paper is appre ciated. And in the evening the editot mul the business man will eo home to gether, and the lamb shall he down with the lion, and the young fattling together, ana mere wiu oe no naru words about the tightness of the times. P.f.nton's Exhibit. The Willam ette Valley, State Land and Loan Com pany are doing some commendable work this season. Through the efforts of their agent, B. Johnson, they have secured a selection ot trom lou to auu specimens ofirrnius. about 40 or 50 i O ' jars of fruits, quite a collection of green truits ana vegetables, ana varieties of tomatoes, all of which were shipped to Portland Monday to be placed on exiUDltlon, wnicu openeu at me me tropolis yesterday. From what we have seen heretofore exhibited at the fair, Benton county promises to carry off the prize for grain and fruit exhib its this year. Every body should take au interest iu,and encourage this thing. Much credit is due the company for the brief time consumed in securing the selection of exhibits, as the dis play was gathered since last Friday. Farmers who may wish to put their fruits and grains on exhibit are request ed to leave them at the company's office in this city, where they will re ceive prompt attention.

Hoag at once answered this by say ing that it was unfair to the nieu to cast such a slum ou thtm that he had entire confi dence iu all of them, and would go to them to guard the railroad property if it were in any d:uger from outsiders. Hon. J. K. Weatherford theu spoke in support of the ....;;. f,.i. r-ninvt of the receiver. He denounced the receiver tor not paying the men. He referred to the report for 1890 to the state railroad commission of the Oregon Pacific, and read theiefrom tho statemen1 that for all that year the amount charged for the men's wages was $5S,lG3, while Air. Hoau had paid out S127.0O0 in eight months according to the statement he had road. Mr. Hoag denied that the fig ures were as civen by counsel, but counsel persisted they were right (Note, pages CI and G3 of the report in question give the total expenses of operating the road lot 1SSD -90 at 130,209, but no separate tigurec f..r waces. M r. Weatherford cot his 58,- 103 from "conducting transportations, for- etting the wages uiclurtfcl in the otner items, making up 130,209). After argu ment lasting uutil nearly 5 o'clock, Judte Pipes rendered his decision to the following effect: That after careful consideration, he concluded that the receiver had been dere lict in duty in not paying the men, not nec essarily &o during the time referred to in the receiver's report just read, but during the progress of the receivership; that there fore the receiver should be cited to appear before him at the earliest day practicable and show cause why he should not be re moved, and that both the plaintiff, fhtf Far mers' Loan & Tiust Company representing the bondholders, and the defendants, the railroad companies inast have notice of the bearine: that pending sneh bearing all the earnings of the road must be set aside for the men's current pay aud tbe current op erating expeusss of .the road and of the steamship Willamette Valley; that there fore the time of the receiver for complying with the order of August 13th for payment ,.f thn men and of the operating of the rai. road and of the receivership be extended to the same day; that he, the Judge, had to leave that uight to reach Gold Beach in Cur rj county iu time to open court on the 21st iust, and had to be at Empire City to open court ou October 5th; that the very earliest day at which he could hope to get back af ter holding those courts was on October J9th, aud that he would therefore 6x Octo- A Loss to The Community. Ralston Cox will soon take his leave of Corvallis, and with his family, will remove to Van couver, W ashington; where he expects to make his future home. Cox is a good busi ness man, and has done much to encotirpge the growth and promote thy prosperity of this citv. so it puzzles us all a ereat deal to know how we are going to get along without him in tho future. His family 1ms always been au ornament to our social circles, and in this respect hUo their many friends will realize a great loss.

Then to advance the en joyment of the occasion, the choicest oi refreshments wera spread lor the privileges cf the party, who acknowl edged the same with well developed appetites. The hours were pleasantly spent throughout, and a general good time resulted.
