They were in destitute cir cumstances, so it is reported, and since their arrival have been supported by the charitably disposed citizens of the com munity. From reports, they are not a very- deserving lot - They have been repeatedly offered employment, but refuse to work, prefering to remain parasites upon their neighbors. Perhaps a bread and water diet for days might have a beneficial effect. . The versatile and irrepressible Bert P. Van Cleve arrived in Corvallis Tuesday, on a visit to his recently arrived heir. Bert was plastered and bandaged. One hand, he carried in a sling, and one side of his face was in cotton. He has bean playing comedy parts in Portland with a stock company, and he says his present woes are due to a performance given la -Vancouver. The compauy put on a mili tary drama, and one of the guns was acci dently loaded. . Of course, it was fired during the performance, and of course the load found lodgement in several dis tinct portions of the comedian's anatomy. That is Bert's version.". Some of his acquaintances, however, are wont to be lieve that the gun was fired from the audience. . . The loss sustained upon the dwelling and contents, of Mrs. Cynthea Hart, was adjusted last Saturday by W. L. Gazzam, special agent for the'-AJtna, in which company the property was insured. The loss upon the building was estimated by S. G. McFadden, who found it to have been $600. The loss on furniture and household stores was found to have been only partial, and on these items the assured was allowed $180, making a total of f78o. Mr. Hart claims to be well sat isfied with the settlement, and says Mr. Gazzam was especially liberal with him in the adjustment ef the loss upon furni ture. Through the Gazette. Mr. and Mrs. ' Hart desire to express their sincere thanks to the many friends who have assisted them1 since the destruction of their home. The funeral of the late John L. John- son occurred at Independence last Friday. The deceased was well known in this city where he was in business for several years. ' About ten years ago, with his brother-in-law, R. C. Montgomery, he came to Corvallis and erected the brick stable now owned by Skipton Brothers. Together they conducted a livery business with fair success, but some two years after coming here Montgomery was Kicxed Dy a norse, sustaining injuries from which he died. Mr. Johnson csn- tinued the business until 1802. when he sold out and returned to Polk county. where he. has since resided. The de ceased was born Nov. 4, 1843, m the state of Illinois, and with his parents came to Oregon in 1864. About three months ago his father died in Independence, at an advanced age, " ' .iature gonian likely to be calledTT. state are almost unanimous ilaTrppbsing the scheme upon the grounds that it will entail an unnecessary heavy expense upon the tax payers with no assurance that any con siderable amount will be saved to the state by the operation. So far as the Ga ZKTTB has been able to learn, the aenti meat ia this county is against the move man t. - Representative Cooper was, in town Monday, and in an interview stated that he thought the results the legisla ture might attain are so uncertain that the governor would not be justified in conveniug that body. This view-is the one generally advanced. Others also take the position that the calling together of the legislators wonld be an unwar ranted interference upon the part of the executive with law-making branch of the government, since such a call would really amount to a demand upon the legislators to undo their voluntary, deliberate offi cial acts. ' Hon. John Daly, of Newport, joint representative for Lincoln and Benton counties came out from the bay Tuesday. Mr. Daly v; as one of the most active, clear-headed and capable members of the last legislature, and his ideas in re gard to an extra session were solicited by a Gazette representative, not only be: cause his views would reflect the senti ments of his constituents in Lincoln county, but because his ideas on public affairs always command respect. "I am decidedly opposed to the prop osition," he said ia response to the reporter's query. "The little good that might possibly be accomplished, will in all probability be more than offset by the harmful effect such an extraordinary proceeding would have npon the state abroad; Besides, '.here is grave donbt of any remedial legislation being enacted. The clamor for the reconvening of the legislature comes principally from Mult nomah county. The politicians there are anxious for a reapportionment of the state, in order that that county might be able to increase its representation before the next session of the legislature, when Multnomah county would have six addi tional members in its' delegation. It is also understood that the enemy are join ing in the cry in hopes of putting the republican party in a hole from which it will be difficult to extricate itself. Mr. A. Bush, of Salem, is reported to be using his influence with the governor, in hope of bringing about an extra session. Mr. Bush is a democrat, and of course ia do- ing nothing that will tend to benefit the republicans. Mr. Bush is also the owner of a Salem hotel. Mr. Bush next to .the democratic party is interested in the wel fare of Mr. Bush." Many others look upon the movement with suspicion, eminating as it does from the Portland ring, and believe that the cry for an extra session is prompted, not by a desire to lessen the burden of taxa tion, but to enact some special legisla tion in the interests . of those who .are clamoring .meat loudly for an extra ses sion. A prominent taxpayer said yester day, that in his opinion, it was useless to ineurr the additional expense ef recon ¬ vening a body of men who failed during , forty days of the last session to enact the very legislation that they are now asking for. Continuing, he said: "The fact is, the remedial legislation demanded by the people, such as modification of our tax laws, abolishment of the railroad com mission, etc., were passed by the house, but defeated in the senate, which was con trolled by those who now seem, all of a sudden, to be imbued with a desire to do something in order to reinstate them selves with their constituents. The following, from the Salem States men, probably contains more truth than poetry, shows pretty clearly why all the favorable extra session Multnomah county: "The extra session advocacy turns out not to be of universal popularity in Port land, either. Several persons in Salem from the metropolis this week declare there is nothing in it only a little politi cal fight, one side of which it is the espe cial province of the Oregonian to boost. A prominent lawyer from there told a Statesman reporter that the real taxpay ers of that county are not in favor of an extra session; that Joseph Simon is the power behind the suggestion and that his aim is to enact a charter providing for a board -of pnblie works, which would give him control of the whole city, also to secure a reapportionment that would give him practical control of the legislature. This man said the taxpayers realized that special session would cost 20,000 to $25,000, with such an uncertainty of re sults that they do not desire to run the risk." tLConvALLls, Jan. 22, 1896. Editob Gazmttji: : The movement on foot -to bring about an extra session of the legislature, which is be ing industriously pushed by a few jobbers who are stealing the livery of the Lord to ervethe devil in, would not call for any seri ous attention were it not generally under stood that a very prominent democratic leader, who would not hesitate to place the republican party in a predicament from which it could not easily . extricate itself, stands very elose to, and has the best ear of Governor Lord on all questions of state pol icy: Should these jobbers succeed in creat ing a little pressure upon the governor, he might betpereuaded to listen to this demo cratic friend, whose name U Achaal Bu.h, and take the reckless hazzard of calling the membors of the legislature together, in the foolish expectation that they would place the stamp of condemnation upon their own work. -' ' '-'. Let no one be deceived by thU movement. No economy is sought for, or will be effected by it. Some Portland politicians of doubt ful sagacity and unquestioned gall, desiring legislation to perfect soma unfinished jobs, ask the overburdened taxpayers to incur the expengu necessary to their purpose. Let Governor Lord beware, or ho may make a mistake, which will prove expensive to the people and destructive to the reputation for good judgment which he no en jo vs. ? The discomforture he would then feel, can be well imagined, and reminds mo of an ineident connected with the early settlement on the Missouri river valley. ; ? , . 1 . -a An Indian chief, with his followers, was encamped a few miles up the river from, a little trading- post wherj whiskey could be had in exchange for buffalo robe, ttc. Now, the Indian had seen the whites using sails upon their boats, and o nciudod to. catch on to a Utile civilisation by attaching; ona to his 'canoe. Nothing better being at band, he procured a largo thorn lush, and after lashing it securely upright in the front end of his -boat, started with his empty jug down the rivor to the trading post. H came tearing djwn the river undor a stiff breeze, and no doubt was well pleased at being able to make such good progress without labor. So long as he went with the current and wind he was happy. Whan, however, he attempted to land, his sail persisted in going with the wind, and after a frantic struggle with his padilo and much bad swearing, be patted tho post and disappeared around the bend of the river. When he' found that all his efforts to land ware in vain, he threw dawn his paddle, and, standing up in his canoa, shouted at the lop of his voice to the trader oa tho bank, "Too 'Muck Bush I " Occasional.

Mr. Benton Killen, one of the members of the board of regents of tho Agricultural Collage, and also chairman of the executive commitlteof the board, the Oregonian says, is a strong advocate of retrenchment iu pub- lie expenditures during such times as. the present, when the taxes and revenue on realty appear to be on a par.' Speaking of the management of the collego Mr. Killen said: . . . "Last June the regents of the Agricultural "College, which is estate institution, antici pated the present state of finance as bearing upon public ex ponditures. They determined to get the full value of the monny' at their ditposnl. They economized. -. Thoy in no way diminished the efficiency or value of that institution, but on the' contrary have put in and paid for a dairy plant; have employed a dairy instructor; have made an agricultural and horticultural survey of the state, and, on account of an increased attendance from 240 last year to 383 students this year, have had to put on additional instructors, and will get through this year upon their resources from I the federal government, without using ene dollar from state taxation; m fact, the slate officials have made no levy for them this year. As times are now, public funds care fully handled, as a prudent business man handles his own funds, will procure twice as much service as the public is now getting." - Awarded -Higbest Honors World's Fair, - Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair. - . mm Opportunity, CREAM -' - .

Edgar Grimm, a graduate of the Agri cultural College, and foe some' time at the head of the department of agricul- talk comes from ' ture of that institution, according to the Portland papers, is defendant in a $10,- 000 damage suit. The plaintiff in the case is a woman,- Mrs. Priscilla Girard. Her complaint avers that on the 2nd of March last, defendant carnally knew plaintiff, by reason whereof she gave birth recently to a child, and farther alleges that her character and reputation has been greatly injured to her damage ia the sum of J 10,000, for which amount she asks judgment. It is stated, says the Welcome, that the defendant had been invited to contribute a sum of money sufficient to defray the physician's bill, purchase medicines, etc. To these re quests, however, Mr. Grimm is said to have paid no attention. He declares himself entirely innocent and that it is simply a case of blackmail.- It is related that he declares he will not be coerced into paying money to awoman, he has befriended but never wronged, no matter what the consequences might be. The woman's story will be given little cred ence among those who know. Mr. Grimm. He has always borne an excellent repu tation in Corvallis, where he is well known, and his friends in this city will be loath to believe the accusations made against him. i ' ' - : Congregational Church.
