At the council meeting last Monday even
inn long and important session was had.
-All the .member were present, with the
exception of Councilman Peet, who waa ab
sent from the city. Bills aggregating
-were allowed against the general fond and
'$200 against the street fund. A generously
-signed remonstrance against the passage of
an ordinance to prevent the staking of stock
about town was presented and when the bill
-came up on its final passage the vote was a
tie, 4 for and 4 against its passage.

taken thereon.
C. H. Lee was chosen president of the
leonncil and standing committees were ap
pointed for the ensuing year, after which
iMayor McFadden read bis aooal message,
.which is as follows;
To tbe honorable city council of the city
of Corvallis, Oregon:
Gistuhkn: It is made tbe dnty of the
mayor annually to communicate by mes
sage to your honorable body, a general
statement of the condition of the affairs of
the city, and to make such recommends
tisns as shall seem expedient and proper in
the premises, therefore in compliance with
ith provisions of aectien 40 of ehapter VI,
;I submit for your consideration the follow
-Jug:
IJIPROTEMEJJTS.
'The plan for- the general improvement of
the city, -formulated and adopted in 1892,
which. has been largely carried out in the
-years 1893-4, has conduced much to the
comfort and convenience of the city gecer
ally, and has been beneficial to all of our
citizens, so far as the portions oi the city
reached by these improvements.
Some strictures have been from time to
time siade by many of our responsible citi
sens, claiming in a general way that these
improvements were restricted and special
in their scope. While the inadequacy of
the means at the command of the city of
necessity made these improvements special,
it would seem that tbe whole citizenship
conducing to the fund by which these im
provements were made should .in equity
and justice be entitled to .have at least a
fair portion of tbe funds by them con-
- f au t.ii waa Tlbujtuj
and the streets adjacent thereto.
In the matter of street improvements
..some regular system should be adopted,
-with reference to future expenditures, to
insure a rigid economy, as nnder the. present
levy and tbe levies that will doubtless be
hereafter .made, a sum of money equal to
about $1,860, will be -used on street im
provements annnally. If a wise and eco
momical course is . airietly pursued, the city
ught in reason to expect, good-streets, with
all the .necessary and , proper drainage
thereof with the funds at command.
Incident to the employment of a large
Dumber of men, without system .as to time
r labor, there is liable to be extravagance,
and I woald therefore reeammend that the
omntittee. of tie council give all matters
within the parriew of their duties special,
personal attention, instead of delegating
authority to other officials of the city.
It is true that this coarse, if followed,
will, of necessity, exact your time and at
tention, withont compensation, other than
the , good of the city, but yon having ac
cepted the position of councilmen, knowing
the duties it involved, the city has the
right to expect a faithful discharge of daty
from you personally and not by proxv.
All claims against the. city should be
specially passed on by the proper committees
af the council and theaysteaaof "O. -K.-ing"
by the police judge and . chief of police, in
my judgment, should be discontinued.
It is no part of the duties of those . of-
at 1 i . . .
cuua so aooit claims acraiaat aha eit- this
duty rests wholly with the council; besides,
It ia embaeassing for.any official to assume

CITY HALL.
Owing to the stringency of the money
market, the mdebtcdaess of about $11,000
srowine out of tbe bniMincr at th nitv
hall in 1892 93, has not been bonded, al
though strenuous efforts . have been made
for that purpose, at different tinea by your
Aonorable body.
Beamingly the city should be able to float
the city .hall, indebtedness for at least six
per cent, aad take up the orders heretofore
issued by the city, against the general fond
representing the city hall debt aforesaid,
The- accrued interest thereon is at this time
about $1,000, so that the city indebtedness
growing out of the city hall, inclusive of
tbe interest, is now in excess of $12,000.
The result of this condition of a Saint has
'bees to greatly depreciate city script
"tivj; VW& VWU WtbtaWaaal VU WWWII Ul bll o
priority , of the orders on the general fand
by the city hall indebtedness.
I therefore recommend that every possi
ble effort be .made to negotiate bonds with
which to m th citv hall lirdara. witk u.
crned interest against the general fund.
riRAScsa.
The police judge and . the city treasurer
a f vu tilawl ilieip annnal vaaranrta wnitf-li ahnur
minutely the amount of orders issued dur
ing the past year and to which 1 refer yoa
for fall information as to the financial condi
tion of the city.
By the report of these officers of June
3rd, 1893, the outstanding orders against
the city was $14,458.57.
By the report of these officers of Jane
2nd, 1894, the outstanding orders against
the city, against the general food, was
f 17.C83 c3, aDd by outstanding order
aaint the street fuu was $363 S3.mak
ing the total outstanding orders against the
city $17,447.36. to which add $1,000, tbe
approximate accrued interest on the city
hall orders, etc., and we have total liabili
ties in the sum of $18,447.36.
It will be seen by inspection of the report
of the police judge that we have received
but $1,675.89 of the taxes of 1893 and that
there remains a balance of the taxes of
1893 uncollected in the sum of about $2,
000, to which add cash in the city treasury
at this time, in the sum of $656 55, and we
have the sum of $2,656.55, which in justice
should be deducted from the said total lia
bilities of $18,447 36, so that our net in
debtedness at this time is $15,790.81.
In this connection I would call your at
tention to the fact that at the time the coun
cil of 1893 was elected, various extensive
street improvements were in progress under
W. H. Hartless, as superintendent, necessi
tating large expenditures of money, so that
at the June 12th, 1893, meeting of the
council, claims, largely on this account, to
the extent of $1,738 42, for work during
the month of May, were allowed and also
for the continuation of the same work dur
ing the month of June, 1893, claims there
for in the sum of $1,218.80 were allowed by
the council, which has entered into the to
tal indebtedness of the present year.
DRAIMAGE.
The present sanitary conditions of the
city are perhaps better thau ever before.
This is doubtless owing to the surface
drains inaugurated under the general im
provement of the streets during the past
two years. It seems very questionable
whether the sewer extending from 4th street
to the river is sufficient to drain all the
water from the surface drains connected
therewith, as the streets were flooded on at
least two or more occasions during the past
season.
FIBK DEPAKTMEXT.
The fire department appears to be in bet
ter condition at this time than during the
past year. The department has always
rendered faithful and ef&cieut service to the
city, and is deserving of all consideration as
a volunteer fire department. The coffee
club has wrought a great change for the
general advancement of the fire department
and deserves the grateful thanks of the city
to those who organized it, and to those who
maintain its present efficient condition.
THE PURCHASE OF THE WATER WORKS.
The matters growing out of the purchase
of the water works has been the fruitful
source of much vexation and litigation to
all concerned. The matter of the suit in
stituted by certain of our citizens has been
pending in the courts for more than a year
last past, with the cause still pendiug. Up
to the present time, a sum of money aggre
gating about $700 has been expended by
the city in this suit, and what the final out
come of the case may bo is certainly in
volved in much doubt. It will doubtless
be remembered that at a special election held
in this city, in 1892, on four bonded propo
sitions, viz: The water, electric light, and
sewer boud propositions were each carried
by a large majority of the voters, the bridge
bonds alone being defeated. Your body,
pursuant to a majority of the votes cast at
that election, proceeded to purchase the
Corvallis waterworks for the sum of $28,
000, the result of which was the institution
of the suit herein mentioned against the
then mayor and members of the city coun
cil generally. :To tho complaint in that snit
a demurrer was interposed which was over
ruled by the circuit court, and .which -decision,
of the circuit court, in over-ruling
this demurrer, has recently beeu affirmed
by oar supreme court, and the suit has been
remanded back for further proceedings.
The right of . the city to make such a pur
chase or float bonds for either water, . elec
tric light or sewerage, has not been .past
upon by the courts. The result thus far
has been lar from profitable, and what, if
any, power the city may have, the lesnlt of
the vote at the Special election is involved
in profound darkness, with an expensive
suit pending. It may be that the voters
were illy advised in the premises or it may
be they were correct in their votes. The
fact is that the manner fixed by the charter
seems to have been followed and no other
possible course was left the council than to
proceed to act. With the result of this
special election spread upon the records
there, should in reason be some tribunal to
test and determine the legality of that
election, otherwise it will involve the coun
cil in perplexity in. all future matters,
touching either water, . electric light or sew
erage. The city, beiug joined, in this suit as party
defendant, is placed in a very awkward po
sition toward an adjustment or settlement
of the matter, if snch a thing is possible.
It might, however, be advisable to refer the
matter to some committee to ascertain if
there is any extracation from this pending
suit.
SALOON8.
.. The charter has given to the city council
full power and authority to license, tax and
regulate the liquor traffic, or prohibit the
same, and has also made ample provisions
for bonds, fixing the conditions thereof,
among which conditions are that "he will
keep an orderly house; that will not permit
any . unlawful gaming, or riotous or dis
orderly . conduct therein: that Jie will
not sell or in. any 'way dispose of any spir
itous or malt liqnors on the first day of
the week, commonly called Sunday; that
he will not keep open his tippling house or
bar room on the first day of the week, com
monly called Sunday." Having accepted
tbe charter, with these positive provisions
in the same it would seem to me to be the
imperative duty of the city council to vig
orously enforce these provisions. We have
ample lnw in the premises and it M plain
duty we owe to tbe citizens to maintain tbe
law and see that its provisions are enforced
without masquerading behind the supposed
duty of the atate of Oregon ; ia the prem
ises In conclusion, I will say that our citizens
are in favor of progress and I feel confident
that by working together and duly protect
ing the interest of the city, that we may
reasonably hope to advance its prosperity,
aod reduce our indebtedness several thous
and dollars during the ensuing year. .
Respectfully submitted.

Corvallis, Or., June Uth, 1894,
A SATISFACTORY SHOWING
Receiver Clark $556 Ahead for
May.
Chas. Clark's management f the Oregon
Pacific has developed the fact that he is a
railroad man as well as business manager hav
ing few equals. On assuming control of the
road last winter he found the company
heavily in debt and running behind every
mouth; the employees dissatisfied and the
public generally disgusted with all former
managements. Since that time employees,
material men and all others having claims
I against the company have been paid each
'month in full wholly from the traffic re
I ceipts. Heretofore the income was far
greater than at present yet the road was
j. never before a self sustaining property and
, the only apparent reason for it seems to have
! been lauk of economy in the management
I which Mr. Clark appears to have reduced to
I a minimum. During the past month several
thousand old ties were replaced with new
ones; 200 additional piles were driven in
i the piers of the Albany bridge, several ad
ditional section meu were employed and a
two months fuel supply was purchased.
' These betterments required quite au ad
ditional outlay of money, yet, after paying
I them in full there remains in the receiver's
! exchequer $556 in good hard cash, all of
, which, including the amounts disbursed, was
derived alone from traffic receipts during
: the month of May. The constant demands
j of creditors under former .managements aud
' holders of receiver's certificates for a sale of
the properties, and its failure to sell when
1 offered at auction, are matters which have
sorely distressed aud puzzled Judge Fuller
; ton but he is deserving of congratulation for
! the appointment of Afr.. Clark to tbe receiv
ership aud no doubt takes much consola
tion in the knowledge that all concerned
are receiving their money regularly. .

Criminal Matters.
. Friday morning Mrs. Eliza Sanders and
her son "It" were placed in the county jail,
in default of $2,000 bonds) on .a charge of
larceny. Some weeks ago several, articles
of sierchandise belonging to A. Wilhelm &
Son, of Monroe, were missed from the
Nickel warehouse. Suspicion pointed to
Eliza and her son as tbe guilty parties. And
Constable Morelock, armed with a search
warrant, visited the premises of the old lady
last Thursday moaning, and found what was
claimed to be some of the missing merchan
dise. They were promptly arrested, taken
before Justice of the Peace Reader at Mon
roe, where a preliminary examination was
held. Both parties entered a plea of "not
guilty," but the justice concluded the evi
dence was sufficient to justify him in bind
ing them over to await the action of the
grand jury, which he did in the sum of
$2,000.
Tuesday evening complaint was lodged
with Justice Wilson by Ed. Sharp, charg
ing one John Doe with larceny from the
dwelling of J. H. Wolfe, situated some two
or three miles west of town. The justice
issued the necessary warrant for the offend
er's arrei-t and placed it in the hands of
Sheriff jJsburn, who soon returned with the
supposed culprit, that he had arrested in
the orchard of D. -. Rose, just west of the
city. He was placed in jail for the night
aad in tbe morning his preliminary examina
tion was had in Justice Wilson's court, W.
E. Yates appearing for the state and Col.
Kelsay for the defendant. The evidence of
Mr. Wolfe showed that his residence had
been entered during his absence and a hat,
a package of Star plug tobacco and a pair of
new shoes taken therefrom. When arrested
the fellow, who gave his name as Geo. Hall,
was wearing a pair of new shoes, aud a hat
which Mr. Wolfe identified as the articles
he had missed from his house. The tobacco
also answered the description given by Mr.
Wolfe, both in quantity aud brand. Hall
claimed that he had purchased the hat in
Portlaud and the tobacco and shoes in Eu
gene and claimed to be tramping through
the county looking for work. In default of
$200 bonds be was committed to await the
action of the grand jury.

The Warde-James company are among
the foremost of American actors, and Mr. J.
B. Walker is to be cangratulated on. his suc
cess in obtaining a position with them.
Considering the fact that each year this com
pany have from one to two thousand appli
cations from persons deserving theatrical
training, the opportunity thus secured is the
more to be prized. While in San Francisco,
Mr. Walker called on Mr. Warde, having
previously corresponded with him, and sig
nified his desire to go on the stage. The
veteian actor pictured all the disagreeable
features of the life before 'the footlights,
attempted to discourage him in his intention,
but, finding him resolved, he invited Mr.
Walker to rehearsal. When the rehearsal
was over aud the actors gone, Mr, Warde
remained and invited Mr. Walker to recite
for him. Before leaving the theatre he
aked his pupil to come the next .morning,
when he -would give him his answer as to an
engagement with his company. When he
called j)xt day, Warde had the contract
ready for. his signature, which was promptly
signeiL Mr. .Walker will go to New York
about the. middle of July to rehearse with
the company, who open the .season with a
several weeks' engagements in New York,
and coming west will reach the Pacific coast
the following spring.
Their repertoire includes Damon and Py
thias, in which play Mr. Walker will appear
next Wednesday evening in the role of Da.

As the champion pie biter of Benton Co.,
honors are about even between Geo. Den man
and Dick Smith. They wagered a pie each
on seven different candidates at the recent
election and last Saturday night the bet
was paid. Seated around seven of Hodes
& Hall's large pies the two began an eating
contest in which each evidenced .much
natural ability and careful training. At
the end of the eighth round each showed a
weakness and when the fifth pie had been
devoured the pair were done np and friends
were called to their assistance to eat the re
maining two. The effect on George was
most distressing for a timo but in the morn-
mir he . bad entirely recovered, rnos so
with Dick, however. His pale thin face in
dicates intense suffering and loss of sleep
and the mere sight of a pie gives bim a
leeling akin to that of sea sickness. He
says that hereafter his desire for pastry will
be limited to things other than pie.

Since Linn county has gone republican J.
Fred Yates has concluded that it is a fit
place in which to engage in the practice of
law and hereafter he will be found at the
office of J. K. Weatherford in Albany.
Fred's many friend? here will regret to
learn of his change of base, and one or two
of these friends .who will regret his depar
ture from Corvallis are not of the male per
suasion. The latter, however, have been
out of town for the past few days; to which
fct can probably be attributed the cause
for the sweet words of. "Robin Adair" that
have been heard to .float through the corri
dors of the Zierolf buildiiig in low musical
tones that emanate from Fred's office, and
run as follows: "Oh, what is this dull
town to me since has gone."
Crossing the Atlantic
Usually involves seasickness. When the
wares play pitch and toss wilh you, strong
indeed must bo the stomach that can stand
it without revolting. Tourists, commercial
travelers, yachtsmen, mariners, all testify
that Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters is the best
remedy for the nausea experienced in rough
weather on the water. Nervous and "veakly
travelers by land often suffer from something
akin to this, and find in the Bitters its surest
remedy. No disorder of the stomach, liver
or bowels is so obstinate that it may not be
overcome by the prompt and thorough
remedy. Equally efficacious is it for chills
and fever, kidney and rheumatic trouble and
nervousness. Emigrants to the frontier
should provido themselves with this fine
medicinal safeguard against the effects of
vicissitudes of climate, hardship, exposure
and fatigue.
