James Townsend, an old and well
Known citizen ot tins county, met
with an accident last Thursday which
council in msians aeatii. ne was
hauling rails and about 10 o'clock
went after what was intended to be
his last load before dinner. The
wagon became cramped and in at
tempting to start the load it was up
set, throwing hiin off and the load on
top of him. When he failed to appear
at the proper time tor dinner his son
Monroe started in search of him. The
horses were standing forty yards from
the spot where the accident happened
and on removing the rails, Mr. Town
send's lifeless body was found beneath
them. From appearances it is thought
he struck against a log and broke his
neck. Death was probably instantane
ous. The funeral services were con
ducted at the family residence Satur
day by Rev. John Osborn. '
Mr. Townsend was one of Oregon's
early pioneers, having resided in this
county about twenty-five years and in
Polk county for a number of years
previous to coming to Benton. He
was alout fifty years of age and leaves
a wife and two grown sons to mourn
his untimely death.
v.
City Election. The annual city
election took place last Mondav.
- . -
In the few short articles written in
relation to the city charter and public
improvements the writer has not en
deavored to take an outside view, or
to create a picture in darker colors
than the subject required, but has with
held much that would have made a
stronger showing and perhaps a deeper
impression had not other reasons sug
gested the treatment adopted.
It is - no child's play to wiestle with
the problems arising in the govern
ment of a city. The more perplexinjr
too it becomes when efforts of econ
omy and success is the. aim, at the
same time having a large majority of
the citizens feeling . at ease under
their management. So, when we read
of the various projects the city coun
cil is empowered to furnish to its con
stituents, we are astonished at ' the
daring of its ambition. There are
those among us who neither see, nor
care for either difficulties, or impedi
ments, who talk as glibly and act as
if they had been running municipal
governments for many years ; it is.
however, to the successful men we I
look for that which is the safest, the
best and the most required. And no
doubt many of those last mentioned,
have often cogitated upon the better-1
ment of things partaining to the city
of what to do, or how to do it, have
become wearied before a satisfactory
solution could be obtained.
An eminent writer recently criticis
ing the municipal government of the
city of New York, says: "In a heathen
land three things are supposed to be
the pillars of a moderatlv decent rov
ernment. They are, regard for human
life j justice, criminal and civil, and
good roads." The first two of the
propositions we are not now con
cerned, but the roads, we would it
were otherwise.
Of the roads, the writer has often
pondered over the difficulties in the
way which are, the great extent of
territory to the population, the great
width of the streets, absence of mate
rial for curb and gutter, of expert la
bor with its high rate of remuneration
and of the utter impossibility ot get
ting what you expect and what you
pay for.
The difficulties above mentioned
may lastly be overcome with resolu
tion, and good management would
est one thing at a time, and if
we inquire ot our citizens what we
most need, the answer most emphat
cally would be "good streets." R.
Bondholders Meeting. A dispatch
dated May lSih says: The bondholders of
the Oregou Pacific held a special meeting to
day. The meeting was called by order of
the organization committee, to take action
on the decree granted by the circuit court of
the United States for the district of Oregon,
against the company. Suit was brought for
a provisional injunction enjoining the sale
at $1,000,000 of the railroad property and
the decree granted. Zepbin Job purchased
the property, and it was agreed to refrain
from efforts to set aside the sale provided
no other litigation was begun by the bond
holders, or other interested parties. The
omtnittee being given ten days to accept
the stipulation, called the meeting of the
bondholders. The report of the committee
favored the acceptance of. the stipulation
and contained a clause exonerating the com
plainants from any blame for bringing the
suit. This clause gave rise to a heated dis
cussion, and after unavailing efforts by the
adherents of Colonel Hogg to have it
stricken out, the other side obtained unani
mous consent to have the protest recorded.
The recommendations of the committee
were adopted and the agreement indorsed
by the bondholders by a vote of 7621 to
1565.

While there were only four aldermen
to elect, one each in the first and sec
ond wards and two in the third ward,
considerable interest was taken and it
was a hot contest, especially in the
thud ward. In this ward there were
five candidates, and during the latter
part of the day some of the candidates
had carriages rushing around bringin
voters to and from the polls and were
using every means to catch all the votes
they could. When the polls closed in
the evening the vote stood as follows:
first ward. Total number of votes
cast, 10G, of which T J Creighton re
ceivea 74, z .tt Davis 31, and E H
Taylor 1. Second ward. Number of
votes cast, 109, of which Geo. Wag

wans: 'I. Third ward. Number, of
votes cast, 106, of which R E Gibson
received 79, VV H Hartless 60, E
Woodward 30, J M Applewhite 20,
and S N Wilkins 19. Councilmen
elect; first ward, T J Creighton: sec
ond ward, Geo. Waggoner; third ward,

Liable to be a Law Suit. It will
be remembered that about two years
ago the Corvallis board of trade or
dered 20.000 pamphlets printed for
advertising Corvallis and Benton
county. The order for the printing
was sent to a Portland house and in
due time the pamphlets were printed
and delivered. The printing amount
ed to some $375, of which all but
$140 was paid. This $140 remains
unpaid, notwithstanding that numer
ous requests "please remit" addressed
to the president, for the reason that
the Corvallis board of trade has not
been in existence for more than a
year. But printers, as a rule, are per
sistent fellows, and they have to be,
if they get what they are justly en
titled to. V. H. Hartless, the late
president, received a letter from the
Portland firm to the effect that if the
money was not forthcoming at once,
suit would be instituted against each
individual member of the board for
their portion of the amount, which
would amount to a trifle over $2.
Who Will Hold the Long Term?
The question- has arisen among the
voters of the third ward as which of
the aldermen recently elected in that
ward will serve the long term. One
was elected to fill the vacancy created
by the resignation of J. D. Clark, and
the other to serve the regular three
years term, but there was no provision
made on the ballots whereby the vot
ers could designate which man should
hold the long term. " Some of the vot
ers are of the opinion that the party re
ceiving the highest number of votes
should hold the long term, and say they
cast their vote with that understand
ing. Others think it should be de
cided by lot and have asked the ques
tion as to which would be the legal
way of deciding it.
The first buggy turned out by the Corval
lis carriage factory was sold last Saturday
to Ralph Davisson. This vehicle is one of
those built by the company after their own
plans, being the pattern known as the "Cor
vallis." It .is a modification of and an im
provement on the "Dexter Queen" style
which is so popular and which is manufac
tured by a number of different companies.
Then, toe, the finish and material which is
put into these vehicles cannot be surpassed
anywhere. When any of our citizens want
to get the best possible vehicle for their
money they cannot do better anywhere than
they can right here at our home factory.

Cakes Without Eggs.
Observing housekeepers quickly learn that Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder is far superior to other brands in
the fact that they never fail to make the finest pastry, and
if they wish to be economical they can dispense entirely with
eggs and can use a less quantity of butter for shortening
purposes. The advantage is not alone in the saving effected
but in avoiding the trouble and frequently the great difficulty
of securing eggs that are fresh. This is often a serious
trouble.'
Cakes of various kinds from the informal Griddle
Cakes to the stately Bride Cake can be made with Price's
Cream Baking Powder, which insures light, sweet and hand
some cakes; or when used for Griddle Cakes to be eaten hot
enables their production in the shortest space of time, always
tender and delicious.
Dr. Price's is the only Baking Powder that contains the
white of eggsi None so pure ! None so wholesome !
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, 4
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned.
