THE USUAL PLURALITY.
The late Bob Ingersoll once rfaid
"I'll believe there's a hell when Mis
souri goes republican" Because
the republicans failed to work this
miracle in the recent special elec
tion lor a memoer or congress in
the eighth Missouri district to fil
J,he unexpired term' of Richard P,
Biand-the Aguinaldists are taking
it as an evidence that the country
at large is opposed to the - retention
ot tne rnuippines. lne reasoning
4:1
order,.and quite as conclusive
In
electing Judge Shackleford,
the
democracy of the eighth district
has . barely held the . majority of
. 3 OHO? votes wTiif.li it has avfiracrorl
at eery election since 1874
Bland carried the district in 1899,
by a plurality of 4,581 over Voshall,
' and r Shackleford's plurality over
vosnau is d,uuu. -.
' In their efforts to put energy in
' to republican voters and call out.
. the entire party vote, the refubli-
1 can papers of Missouri declared
Jl.-l ll. 1 1 J 1 1. I
them for ah expression on the
question of the administration's
attitude, toward the Philippines
.- This was foolish, but it was proba
bly 'due to the fact that republi
can voters of the eight district look
uppri ; democratic success as a fore
gone conclusion, and voting a mere
matter of form, and nothing but
urging of a momentous issue would
call them to the polls. That they
- failed to be impressed by the thun
derings of these , journals is evi
denced by - the ' light republican
vote as compared with , that of
other years.
-. Tbe'etaid old democrats, of 'Mis
"souri , make voting the ' straight
.party ticket a part of their creed,
and will 'vote "for hell and high
water if such 'a plank should hap
pen to be inserted in the next demo
cratic platform.
'WIDE TIRES.
Aiuung me many (jucBtiuiio luaii
A- - J.1 11 1
have of late years been brought be
fore the. general public, there are
fewrmore important or more deserv-.
Ing of. careful consideration than
hat of our, public roads. With the
exception of the roads ' in. a few
States, where a special tax is levied
. for. road building, the American
roads are not to b& compared with
-xnose lirj-iiiurope. -.xnis qmerence
in the condition of the roads leads
t6,he.,;quesion .of, the., case and it
does jiot take . the intelligent ob-
- seer long ; to' conclude that the
nrfjro tire is responsible for the
wretched condition of American
roajis. A leading authority, in dis
cussing the narrow-tire evil, sayn:
.ext to water, ,the greatest ene-
' myfof goods roads yes, of all roads
ii the narrow-tired wagon. ' Nar
rora tires and water, acting together,
haw given our coanty roads a third
4iBaension. They are not only so
marhy miles long and so many rods
wide, but they, are ; deep so deep,
alas, at times that travel over, or
rather, through them, is next to im
possible. . -, "' '
"A hep,.H.y .loaded wagon always
leavj&s ,iftfif trks .on, the highway,
and the depths of these tracks de
pends uponv Ahg. mAterial-of- which
the road is built, the weight of the
load, and the width of the tires.
The: rut formed by the passing
wagon forms a trough for the rain,
which instead of running off to the
eideaa it should do, remains to
sink.into the roadway and soften it.
The-next wagon finding the ground
softer, digs its wheels deeper into
the surface, and so the work of de
moralization and destruction con
tinues. -.-..
"A -wide tire, on the other hand,
instead oflforhiing a rut, will roll
and harden 'the road surface. By
the use of wide tires, every loaded
wagon can be turned'into an effect
ive roadroller and made to improve
ii j e i. i j
ine roauway msieuu oi ueiping xo
destroy itr"! -that isrfecessary to
make 0jLhest-xoad m- the world is
to make it solid and to give it a
hard smooth-. surface. Nothing so
much tends, to accomplish this a
the frequent use of road rollers.
Wide tires are road rpllers, and
therefore roadmakers. Narrow tires
arc roaddestroyers. If wide tires
could be adopted for general use,
every loaded wagon, which today
helps to cut up and destroy county
roads, would- .become .an active fac
tor in their improvement.
"Now that the adoption of state
aid has solved the financial prob
lem connected with road improve
ment in the United States, care
should betaken that the roads we
build are not destroyed by n arrow
tires.
"County districts receiving finan
cial aid for road purposes out of the
state treasury should do all in their
power to encourage the us of wide
tires. This has been accomplished
in some places by exempting all
wide-tired vehicles from taxation
"In Webfoot Oregon, it would ap
pear, the wide tire is even more a
necessity than in the dryer Eastern
states." ' .
DEATH Or MRS. KLINE.
Mrs.
L. G. Kline, after a Lingering Illness,
Passed Away Sunday Morning.
After au ill a ess of several months da
ring which time her . recovery bas ever
been dispaired of, Mrs. L. G. Kline pass
ed away at her home in this city last San
day morning at 5 :30 o'clock. For thirty"
five years Mrs. Kline has been a resi
dent of Corvallis, respected and beloved
by all who knew her. In former years
she took an active part in social affairs,
but of late hor failing health has not per
mitted her to lead . in these .affairs.
However, her own beautiful home has
been the scene ef many happy gather
ings, where all were delightfully eater-
tained and accepted gladly an. invitation
to return. A reception given by her
daughter, Pauline, retiring president
f the order ot Rebekahs in Oregon, du
ring the early summer to .members of
that order, was the last soical function in
which Mrs. Kline took part. Mrs. Kline
had herself been a member of the order
of Rebekahs for 43 years and it was un
der their auspices that the funeral occurr
ed yesterday. . : ;
MiBS Adeline Hill was bora in Golden,
Kurland Province, Russia, in 1832.
She was married to L. G. -Kline at Cin-
cmnatti, Ohio, March 9, 1856. The fam
ily removed to Corvallis in 1864, and Mr.
Kline entered the mercantile business
and soon became a leading merchant.
Having placed himself in affluent cir
cumstances he retired several years ago to
enjoy the fruits of persistent labor. "Dur
ing all the years of their married life,
Mrs. Kline had ever been a faithful help
meet, and the home she took so much
pleasure in building is rendered desolate
by her absence. Mrs. Kline was kind
and courteous to all, and wherever the
voice of privation or want was raised,
hers was . the hand of charity ex-tended.
Her husband and taree children sur
vive her: S. L. Kline, Corvallis ; Moses
Kline, Portland, and Miss Pauline,
Kline, Corvallis.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rabbi , of Portland, at the
Kline home, yesterday, in the presence
of a large number friends of the depart-:
ed.- A special train carried the funeral
party to Albany and the interment oc
curred 'at the Jewish cemetery near that
city, at which time the beautiful funeral
service of the Rebekahs was performed.
WILLIAM r. DIXON.
One of The
Founders . ef
CorTallis.
The City of-
At 11 :30 Wednesday morning, August
30th, at the homeof his son, occurred the
death of AVm, !f. Dixen,. one of. the old
est and most prominent of the Oregon
pioneers.
Mr. Dixon's death was but the result
of age, and was unexpected in one sense;
yet to a man over 88 years of age, a de
voted christian, and one who had spent
a useful and worthy life, death is bat a
welcome and ever expected usher ready
to come at any moment and lead him to
his reward. Mr. Dixon was in his usual
health up to a few hours preceding his
death, having, repaired a cart only a few
days before, and was hoeing in the gar
den the day before he died. -
Win, F. Dixon . was . born in. Maryland
and lived on the family homestead in
Wyoming county until he was 22 years
of age. Then lie - went to Indiana and
settled in Dearborn county. There he
married Miss Julia Round, and after a
residence 6f - six years,' emigrated to
Clark county, Mo. With his wife and
three children he started in the spring of
1845 for Oregon. He arrived on the
banks of the Willamette at its junction
with Mary's river after an ox-team trip
across the plains of six months. Here
he found large sections of beautiful land
unoccupied save hy a single settler. The
settler was J. C. Avery and the land was
the virgin soil oa which the thriving city
of Corvallis now stands. ' Mr. Avery
then occupied a log cabin near the siie of
the present residence of Mrs. Martha
Avery, and had arriyed but a few months
before. Mr. Dixon pitched his teat on
the banks of the Willamette and at once
began .the erection of a log cabia-on a
spot about where the office of the Corval
lis sawmill now stands. In this cabin he
spent the winter and the following spring
he filed a donation land claim . By
strange coincidence both he and Mr.
Avery selected the spot as the probable
site , of a future city. An idea derived
peVhaps from the belief that the
junction of the Mary's river with the
Willamette was the head of navigation.
In 1848 Mr. Dixon established a ferry
across the Willamette on the site
of the present Corvallis ferry. In the
immediate vicinity he snbsequently built
a frame house where the family there
after resided. Mrs. Dixon was the first
white lady to reside in what is now Cor
vallis and Cyrus Dixon, a son, was the
first white child born on the site of the
future city.
Mr. Dixon joined the rush to the gold
fields of California in 1849, but soon re
turned and opened up a fanning mill and
furniture-making establishment at his
former webfoot home.
At the chartering, in 1855, of the Cor
vallis seminary by the territorial legisla
ture, Mr. Dixon became a member of the
board of trustees and one of the incor
porators. This seminary has since grown
in to our prided and most valuable agri
cultural college. .
The county addition to Corvallis made
many years ago, the proceeds from the
sale of which were used toward erecting
the old Benton county ceurt house, was
given by Mr. Dixon and the late J. C.
Avery, and is an example of their public
spiritedness.
" At.the time of his death, Mr. Dixon
was aged 88 years, 6 months and 9 days.
He was laid peacefully to rest beneath
the roses of Henderson cemetery, leav
ing behind him not an enemy, but the
work of an honest man and the traces of
a life that will ever perpetuate his mem
ory. ;
The post-office department has adopt
ed a new form of money order, which
will be introduced gradually, Or as sup
plies of the old form become exhausted,
at the various post offices throughout
the country, after the 4th of September.
The new form is somewhat smaller than
the order now in use. Its dimensions
are about the size of an- ordinary bank
draft. It has two adjuncts the advice.
or notification to be sent by the issuin
to the postmaster paying, is a reproduc
tion of order through carbon paper, the
manifold process, and a receipt for the
amount, to be furnished by the issuing
postmaster to the remitter. On the
back of the order a' separate space has
been provided for the stamps of banks
through which it may pass for collection
That the new order may win its way
to
public favor by its simplicity, clearness
and adaptability, great care has been ta
ken to give it this character by arrange'
ments of parts by avoiding surplusage
in the text or wording, and by using
plain type and excluding whatever would
be merely oraate design.
The rains that set in early Sunday
morning put a quietus to tlie many
threshing machines that were busily en
gaged over the "country in shelling out
the grain that has been standing patient
ly in the shocks for so long. The rain
fell at intervals during Sunday and the
night following." Monday dawned bright
and ' clear but the south wind soon
brought the' leaky rain clouds which
spilled a large portion of their contents
over the country. Tuesday slight rains
occurred, which ceased before noon as
the barometer arose. Wednesday morn
ing, found the wind m the northeast
with plenty of fog in the air, and as the
old time Oregonian cast his weather eye,
up at the weather-cock on the the barn
roof and took a look at the sky, be ut
tered a most pleasing grunt of satisfac
tion and declared the rainy weather was
over. But we have heardv this before,
we only hope it id true, but will advise
everyone to take their rubbers and um
brella along when they venture out of
doors.
