The county court made a wise move, and
one that will meet with the approbation of
the taxpayers, when they refused to accept
the bid of the Pauly Jail Company for re
constructing the old jail, provision for which
work was made in their bid of 3,750. They
however, received the contract for furnish
ing the cells for $1,940. The other $810 in
cluded the cost of doing the work, which
W. O. Heckart contracts to do for $245,
thus saving the county $565.

gie Wilson. On making his wants known
to Clerk Nedham, that official acquainted
the young man of his mistake, whereupon
he retraced his steps to Corvallis, where the
necessary document was secured without
further trouble.
Perhaps some of our readers would like to
know in what respect Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better than any other. We will
tell you. When this remedy is taken as
soon as cold has been contracted, and before
it has become settled in the system, it will
counteract the effect of the cold and greatly
lessen its severity, and is the only remedy
that will do this. It acts in perfect harmony
with nature and aids nature in relieving the
lungs, opening the secretions, liquefying the
mucous and causing its expulsion from the
air cells of the lungs and restoring the sys
tem to a strong and healthy condition. No
other remedy in the market possesses these
properties. No other will cure a cold so
quickly. For sale by Graham & Wells.

J. R. Markley returned from Prineville
Sunday evening by private conveyance. He
states that the people of Crook county are
very anxious for an early extension of the
Oregon Pacific, and if it could be made now,
residents of that section would give the com
pany a good deal of assistance. There was
a time when extensive stock raisers of that
locality were opposed to any enterprise that
would develop the country, and increase
the population, but that time has passed
and they are now unanimous iu wishing tor
some plan thit will afford a favorable and less
expensive outlet for their commerce, than
via Tho Dalles.
Word of the sndden death of Father
Smith reached town Wednesday afternoon.
He was in his 83rd year, and for some time
had resided on the island above town with
the family of his son, Mier Smith. Tues
day night he had complained of a severe
pain in the breast, but in other respects was
hale and hearty as usual. Wednesday af
ternoon he was missed from the house by
Mrs Smith, and a neighnor who was pass

on the hay, cold and stiff in death. The

friends were bayward bound passengers on
yesterday's O. P. train. The senator is ou
a tour of inspection to the various points

Governor Pennoyer has issued instructions
to the several district attorneys of Oregon,
to file a bill in equity against every banking
house in their district, which compels each
bank to answer, under oath, certain inter
rogatives prepared and furnished by the
state's attorney general. The proceeding is
for the purpose of ascertaining whether or
not the banks hold in their possession any
funds of deceased persons who have died
without heirs. If any such moneys are
found they are to be transferred into the es
cheat fund of the state treasury, where same
belongs. : The int&rcsfc on this money goes
into the state school fund. There is thought
to be a large amount of such funds deposi
ted in the banks throughout the state.
A. F. Alexauder, recently from Seattle,
has moved to Corvallis with his faraiiy and

President J. M. Bloss returned last week
from an extended trip to Eastern Oregon in
the interest of the Agricultural College.
He says the attendence for the coming Schol
astic year will be greatly increased by pu
pils from that section of the state. Lectures
on the college and station work were deliv
ered by him at Pendleton, Weston, Union,
Ln Grande and Baker City. At the last
named place he was tendered an informal
reception by former O. A. C. students. In
all, twenty persons were present that at
some time had attended the college, and
five of the number were graduates. The
party included Lulu, Charles ami Marvin
Chandler, Lois Stewart, G. W. Palmer and
Mrs. C. II. Whitney. This meeting of old
friends and pupils was indeed an agreeable'
surprise to the president, and he thoroughly
appreciates their treatment and kind offices
toward the institution of which they cherish
many pleasant recollections.
John McGee, of Wrens, was in town this
week aud teemed considerably puzzled over
the action of a Philomath justice of the
peace, who caused the arrest of John McGee
Jr., on a charge of contempt of court. Prior
to the arrest no papers had been servWl on
the young man, and naturally enough, he
feels that the law is dealing unfairly with
him. From Mr. McGee it is learned that
tho trouble grew out of an attachment suit
recently brought by John W. Ingle against
Mrs. W. B. Kitchen, of Blodgett valley.
The attachment was levied upon the defend
ant's wheat, against which McGee & Co.
had an account for threshing. This bill Mr.
Ingle agreed to settle, but as he failed to do
so, the company retained in their possession
sufficient of the attached grain to cover the
account for threshing. Believing that young
McGee held possession of the wheat, the
court issued a warrant for his arrest. He
was brought before Justice Bowles last Mon
day and released on $100 bonds to appear
for trial Wednesday. How the case termi
nated, we have been unable to learn.

C. students with uniforms. Bids and sam
ples of cloth from varions firms and mills
were examined by the executive committee
of the board of regents last Saturday at
Albany, and as a result of their delibera
tion, Mr. Nolan was awarded the con
tract for the ensuing year. This shows

and highly respected throughout the Btate.

3,000 acres of land and considerable prop
erty in Seattle, all valued at 00,000. In
1SS2 he was married to Margaret Knotts, of
this county. Six years later a son was born
to them, at which time the mother died.

left for Klamath Monday to assume the
duties of executor of the estate.
George Waggoner, who returned from
tho Belfontaine neighborhoodjlast Saturday,
tells of an interesting bear hunt that was
attended with rather serious resuks. The
hunters wesr Arthur Hawley and Mr.
Thompson, foreman of the Excelsior prune
farm, who were accompanied by several
dogs. These were started on the trail, and
after a long chase, they succeeded in sur
rounding Mr. Bruin. As the dogs kept in
range, it was a difficult matter to get a good
shot at him for fear of injuring one of the
dogs, but after each of the hunters had
made five or six shots they were rewarded
for their pains by seeing the bear drop to
the ground, a corpse. On arriving at the
scene, however, it was discovered that
during the fusilade, one of the best dags
had also been killed, notwithstanding the
sportsmen's efforts to avoid such a result.

to assessments, and anyone who thinks he
has been assessed too hih can coma before
the board and have the matter looked into.
Mr. Alexander is anxious that everyone who
can, should come in and satisfy themseves
that no errors have been made. Notice of
this meeting has been given in the local pa
pers for several weeks. The county court
is not disposed to make any change in as
sessments after the meeting of this board.
It was formerly customary in this county
for people to disregard the meetings of the
board, and -when they jame to pay theh
taxes and found some supposed mistake
they would get the -court to change it. The
court is no longer disposed to grant any
such concessions and persons who fail to ap
pear next week and have their grievances
adjusted, must forever hold their peace.

Walt Brown has so far conceded to the
burnt woods custom as to wear one gum and

It. B. Blodgett sold his match gray team
last week to a Mr. Learmont. Suffice to
say that the price brought did not equal the
price of one of them under republican rule.
Threshing is over in this valley, and the
grain stved in good condition. The yield
came up to expectations generally, but the
prices are so low that farmers are both mad
and discouraged.

mengearie says, that as chief of a ghost

The Land of Promise
Is the mighty West, the land that "tickled
with a hoe laughs a harvest;" the El Dora
do of the miner; the goal of the agricul
tural emigrant. While it teems with all
the elements of wealth and prosperity, some
of the fairest and most fruitful portions of
it bear a harvest of malaria reaped in its
fullness by those unprotected by a medicinal
safeguard. No one seeking or dwelling in
a malarial locality is safe from the scourge
without Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Emi
grants bear this in mind. Commercial
travelers sojourning in malarious regions
should carry a bottle of the Bitters in the
traditional gripsack. Against the effects of
exposure, mental or bodily overwork, damp
and unwholesome food or water, it is an
infallible defense. Constipation, rheuma
tism, biliousness, dyspepsia, nervousness
and loss of strength are all remedied by this
genial restorative.
.Notice to Taxpayers;
Notice is hereby given to the taxpayers of
Benton county, Oregon, that on September
24, 1894, the board of equalization will at
tend at the office of the county clerk of
Benton county, - Oregon, and publicly ex
amine the assessment rolls, and correct all
errors in valuation, description or qualities
of land, lots or other property. Said board
will continue in session for one week, and
if no errors are found, all assessments will
remain as entered upon the roll and no
corrections or alterations will be made by
county court thereafter.

' Assessor for Benton County, Oregon.

THE CARRIAGE FACTORY.
A Gazette representative called at the
Corvallis Carriage works Wednesday and
found Manager Gleim in the midst of
preparations for a few days absence at the
state fair. On being asked if there was
anything new in regard to the pending sale
of the factory, Mr. Gleim said:
"You may say to your readers that Mr.
Brace left San Francisco Sunday night for
St. Louis, where he expects to meet Mr.
Lyford. . Everything has been arranged
satisfactorily for a transfer of the property.
The factory is shut down this week for the
purpose of lining up the shafting and a
general overhauling of the machinery,
preparatory to beginning a steady run.
"A large list of material, needed in the
various departments, is being made for
large orders to be placed in the east. This
material will be coming along very soon
now. We expect to work the stuff up
this fall and winter into finished jobs. In
dications for trade are good. Understand
this is not the season of the year for an in
creased trade in Oregon, but our California
business i3 now opening up and bids fair to
be quite a large trade. We are already re
ceiving many inquiries from that section
for catalogues and prices. What has been
said about the future of the plant has
brought numerous enquiries for positions, so
that we fear no difficulty in securing help as
the business is increased.
"Mr. Uhlman and myself are goiug to
Salem today to look after our exhibit at the
state fair, where we have 19 vehicles car
riages and buggies on exhibition. Our
head painter, Mr. Sicafoose, is over" there
now and is going to give an exhibition of
scientific striping." ..
