"The court has stopped some pretty large leaks, and will succeed in stopping others, saving a great deal of money to the tax payers in the coming year." The above utterance is from a paper which is at present busily engaged in spreading taffy all over the county court, in an article com posed principally of quotation marks. Unfortunately the aiticle fails to state just what leaks the court has stopped. Now this is a grievous error, and one which should be rectified. Does it mean the leak whereby a commissioner from March ist, 1893, to October 1, 1893 drew $273 in per diem and $11 1.20 in mileage, notwithstand ing the fact that the journal of the court shows that during that time the commissioners' court was in session but 18 days? Or does it mean the leak by which the same commissioner charged the county with $3 per day for work at Cor vallis, and then charged $3 per night for the nights during the same time? Perhaps the paper refers to the leak where a commis sioner traveled two days to inspect a bridge in the south part of the county, and then stated in the presence of a credible witness that he never saw the bridge at all, but supposed it was all right, but did not fail to collect his "per diem aud mileage. Or does the paper mean the leak that was attached to a certain county warrant drawn for the entertainment of engineers at Newport, and on which there was supposed to have been an unex pended balance that was never turned back to the county? Maybe the leak referred to is in the matter ! of collecting mileage for 1 5 miles 1 from Newport to Toledo, where the extra miles are thrown in to make it count up even? Or maybe the leak is in having a rump session of the court in January, which session was neither authorized by law, or called by the court, but cost the county the per diem and mileage of the commissioners? Who knows but what the leak referred to was in refusing to accept from Nash & Jones the absolute gift of a block of land in Toledo for county purposes, with the only stipulation attached being that when the county did erect county buildings that it be on that block. It is possible that one of the leaks referred to was in getting the county into a series of hwsuits, all of which will necessitate more or less trips to Corvallis, by the county judge. But it is more than probable that none of the abovenamed leaks wereiof t,ie 231 day of July, 1892, referred to. The leak which was stopped just in' time to save the county was the terrible bills of the Leader for county printing. These bills last year aggregated the im mense sum oi nearly $12, outside of job work. By cutting the rate in two this will save the county the enormous sum of nearly six dollars per year. Stop the leaks. Pile on the taffy. It is very probable that the state of Washington will enact a law giving a state bounty of one cent a pound for all beet sugar manu factured from beets grown in the state. After the way the Oregon legisla - ture has acted, it has become so that a man formerly of Kansas is not ashamed to own up to it any- more. Number 49. NO WHISKEY TO INDIANS. THE LAW RECENTLY PASSED BY CONGRESS TO STOP THE SALE OF LIQUOR TO INDIANS. We have been forwarded by the Indian Department a copy of the law passed by congress, and ap- proved January 30, 1897, relative) to the sale of liquor to IndiansJ The law reads as follows: "An act to prohibit the sale intoxicating drinks to Indians, prd viding penalties therefor, and fo other purposes. "Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the Unit ed States of America, in congres: assembled, that any person whd shall sell, give away, dispose o exchange, or barter any malt spirituous or vinous liquor, inchul ing beer, ale and wine, oraiiy arden or other intoxicating liquor of an kind whatsoever, or any esseiui extract, bitters, preparation, coin pound, composition or any articl whatsoever, under any name, labofl or brand, which produces intoxica-l Hon to any Indian to whom allot ment of land has been made while the title to the same shall be held in trust by the government, or to any Indian, a ward of the government, under charge of any Indian superin tendent or agent, or any Indian, including mixed bloods, over whom the government, through its depart ments, exercises guardianship, and any person who shall introduce or attempt to introduce any malt, spirituous or vinous liquor, in cluding beer, ale and wine, or any ardent or intoxicating liquor of any kind whatsoever into the Indian country, which term shall include any Indian allotment while the title to the same shall be .held in trust by the government, or while the same shall remaiu inalienable by the allottee without the consent of the United States, shall be pun ished by imprisonment for not less than 60 days, and by a fine of not less than $100 for the first offense, and not less than $2co for each of fense thereafter; provided, however, that the person convicted shall be committed until fine and costs are paid. But it shall be a sufficient defense to any charge of introducing or attempting to introduce- ardent spirits, ale, beer, wine 5r intoxicat ing liquors into the Indian country that the acts charged were done undor authority, in writing, from the war department or any officer duly authorized thereunto by the war department. Sec. 2. That so much of the act as is I inconsistent with the provisions of this act is hereby repealed. Ap proved, January 30, 1897.' Hasn't Oregon got . a beautiful prospect before it in the next congress? It looks now like the delegation will be composed of McBride in the senate, and Ellis j and Tongue in the house. The ! former is a physical wreck and I . 11. 1 1. r,. r v.a UI1UIJ1C IU tilLCl UlUlljr Ul IU5 arduous duties in person. Of the other two Ellis always was a feather-weight and Tongue goes back with a contest ' against him which will cripple all his .capacity for good for his state. And this is the delegation that takes the place of the one formerly composed of j Dolph, Mitchell and Hermann, a delegation of which every coast and j western state were jealous of. Verily, it has been a "new deal" with a vengeance. 1 .'
