turned over to Mr. Norton, who had been
instrumental in getting him ou the govern

farm, he took with him another inmate,
named Hoffman. Recently Hoffman wrote
to Nortou, signing Impson's name, de
manding that he, Norton, turn ovor to Imp
son all hU money, and accusing Norton of
all sorts of things. Mr. Norton say3 lie
has no legal hold to the money, but natur
ally hesitates to let Hoffman have a chance
to dissipate it. He thinks Hoffman has
selfish motives in trying to get the money
into Impson's hands, and Mr. Norton de
sires that the cash be expended solely for
the support aud comfort of Impson. He

CHEMICAL FIRE ENGINE.
A Desirable Machine for Subur
ban Property-Owners
Corvallis has long been in need of bettor
facilities far fighting the fire fiend. It is a
notorions fact that our city is the poorest
supplied with fire apparatus of any town
of its size in the state. For years the idea
of purchasing a steamer has been considered
by our citizens but as yet no definite action
in the matter has been taken. This plan,
however, has met with considerable opposi
tion from residents living in the outskirts of
town. . They object to paying taxes for
something which will not directly benefit
them. From the fact that a steamer is only
serviceable within the district which is sup
plied with cisterns, a majority of Corvallis
taxpayers won Id receive no benefit at all.
What we need is something that will afford
protection to all residents alike; not to a
favored few who happen to reside or do bus
iness in close proximity to a few cisterns.
This same matter Suggested itself during
the recent water-bond tight. It was held
by one councilman, particularly, that every
resident within the city limits is entitled to
consideration. In other words, that every
suburban resideut ought to have just as
good water service as those who live nearer
the business portion of the city. If this is
true with regard to water works it is cer
tainly true with regard to fire protection.
Now an opportunity is afforded to give all
the same protection against fire by purchas
ing a chemical engine. One of these ma
chines will cost lees than one-be.!! the sum
necessary for the purchase of a steamer. A
chemical engine is light, durable, and can
be gotten to a fire even more rapidly than
the hook and ladder truck, as it is consider
ably lighter. It carries with it its own
water supply, hose and pressure, and npon
arrival at a tire it is realy for immediate
operation. In extinguishing fires with a
chemical engiue'the principal advantage lies
in being able to do so with little water dam
age, and, as they are lighter, they can be
taken to tho place of action much quicker
thau heavy steamers. Let it be understood
that wo lio not recommend a cheniiol engine
to take tho place of a wholejfire department,
but claim that they will accomplish more in
the line of tire extinguishment than any
other piece of fire apparatus.
Carbonic acid gas is heavier than air.
Firo is supported by oxygen and cannot bnrn
a second without it. The contents of the
extinguisher, which is carbonic acid gas
ming' id with water, shuts off the supply of
oxygen and instantly J smothers the fire.
Fire goes out instantly in an atmosphere
containing five per cent, of carbonic acid
gas. They do not flood with water, which
is so disastrous to seasoned wood or manu
factured stock, but extinguish fires by a
projected stream of carbonic acid gas the
greatest fire destroyer known to science. A
stream of gas can be directed to any locality
where the fire exists under the floor, in
ceilings or out of ;tbe way places that can
not be reached byothor means. The com
paratively small quantity of chemical com
pound which the engine carries must in no
seuse be taken as a criterion of its relative
extingushing power, for each gallon of the
mixture will extinguish as much fire as
forty times its owu bulk of water, with the
advantage of being contained in a movable
reservoir, supplying its own power of pro
pelling a stream.
The efficiency of the work accomplished
by chemical euginea is wellaiilustrated by
the service they rendered in Portland last
year, whore, according to the chief engineer
of the firo department, they are alone cred
ited with having extinguished 93 per cent,
of all tires. An engine suited to the needs
of tha Corvallii department would cost
about 2,000, and for tire purposes would be
of far better service to the city than either
a $5,000 steamer or a $50,000 water plant.
The council should give this matter favora
ble consideration, as such a piece of appa
ratus would furnish the city with adequate
protection, and would in all probability have
the elfect of reducing insurance rates to
such an extent that the saving in insurance
premiums in a short time would amount to
more than the cost of tho engine.
HilKEUS ARE IJJFT.
Judge Fuliertou has delved in tho volumi
nous papers of the long drawn out suit of
Smith & Co. vs. M. W. Wilkins et. a!., and
finds against the lien holders. There was
a conflict betwoen the men who plastered
the building with mechanic's and material
liens, and the holders of mortgages on the
property, as to the preference in satisfying
claims out of the proceeds of the sale of the
property. Judge Fullerton orders that the
Gerhard mortgage of $3750, and the Fhile
mortgage of $1,000, be paid first, then the
various mechanic's liens, and if there ia any
residue that it be applied on the Hylaud
mortgage of 81,000. Tho Friendly lease of
$1,900, and a few othors were dissolved for
the reason that the liens were for a greater
amount thau the claims. The sheriff will
soon advertise the building and ground for
sale, and the Corvallis.Napoleou of finance
will bo ousted from his idol.
Hope Crushed to Earth
Will rise again in the bosom of a dyspeptic
wise enough to substitute for the pseudo
tonics, which have bamboozled him out of
his belief in tho possibility of cure,
the real invigorant and stomachic,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. ' The
billious, the nervous, the dyspeptic,
the rheumatic, alike derive - speedy
benefit from this helpful botanic medicine.
Persons suffering from indigestion will gain
no positive permanent good from the fiery,
unmedicated stimulants of commerce, too
often used recklessly. The Bitters are im
measurably to be preferred to these as a
tonic, since its pure basis is modified by the
conjunction with it of pure vegetable iugrer
dients of the highest remedial excellence.
Malaria is prevented and remedied by it,
and it infuses vigor into the weak and
sickly. A wineglassful three times a day is
the average dose.

COUNTY JTJDGB'S EXTRAS.
Philomath, Okb., Feb'y 15, 1895.
Editor Gazette:
I hare been interested, with other tax
payers, in your articles concerning Judge
Hufford and salary. The articles are timely
and important, for we who put np the coin
for running the county government are en
titled to know how that money is spent.
You say "if such bills are regularly allowed,
no wonder the county is so far behind."
Can you tell us if such bills are regularly
allowed? If we not ouly have to pay a tor
large salary, but are forced to find our offi.
eials with extras? A Farmer.
Prior to receiving the above letter a Ga
zette representative had looked ovor tne
records of - the commissioners' proceedings
and fouud that numerous bills bad been
allowed for what the correspondent calls
"extras." From a perusal of the record it
seems that Judge Hufford is very largely
addicted to the use of stampsand that the
oounty elected the whole of Judge Hufferd's
family to office, when it selected him to
preside over its destinies. The Gazette
does not criticise these bills, aud they may
be perfectly right and proper, but isn't the
couuty stinting Judge Hufford? It
has not yet paid his butcher bill, bis
water bill nor his bill for family groceries.
Our correspondent asks for information, and
we give it. Some of the bills allowed to
Judge Hufford by the county court areas

SOIvDIJSS IMPSON.
Editor Gazette: There has been much
said and more surmised about the old sol
dier, Impson. A communication was sent to
the Times by Ike Norton, but Mr. N. claims
it was not published as written. The facts
as your correspondent has learned thsm are
as follows. Impson was sent to the poor
houae several months ago, and was dissatis
fied with his treatment there from the start.
Mr. Norton and myself, aided by Hon.
Binger Hermann, secured his pension, the
back pay of which amounted to nearly $500,
and 12 per month. After tho receipt of
this information Impson says bo was better
treated at the poorhouso. After his pension
had beon allowed, Huggins of the poor
farm, brought him to this valley. Mr. H.
was quite anxious to borrow $100 and want,
ed tha. assistance of others to secure this
loan. Impson, after his return, evidenced
a wish to return to his homestead, and
finally oazaa to Corvallis, brought by Hug-
gius. For the two trips Hugging charged
him 31, and as another party was holding
his money in trust, Huggins took a lien on
bis pension voucher till it could be paid.
Accordingly a contract was duly made out
by the couuty olerk and tho vnuoher left
with Mr. Hunter as collateral security till
the debt was paid. Following Impson to
his ranch cuue an anonymous letter to Ike
Norton, signed only by a -'Disinterested
Citizen of Benton County." The animus of
this letter was to charge a party by the
name of Huffman with being insane and an
ooina fiend. My opinion is that Huffman
U a fraud, Vut as yet ks has, so far as
known, taken good care of the old soldier.
Huffman accompanied Impson to his ranch
and is still earing for mm. impson is ma
iuz frantic efforts now to get bis money
paid over to Huffman, which at least would
be a dangerous operation for Impson.
