The Polk County Itemizer has the following very complimentary : things to say concerning the .. brother of Mine Host Brunk. of the Occidental hotel this city, and his thrifty methods' of farming : 4 "T. W. Brank's home near Eola is pleasantly situated at the cross roads, between independence and the Oak Grove country and Salem and Dallas. It was the old home of his pioneer par ents, he having bought the interests of his brothers and sisters. It " consists of over 500 acres and he is one of the pro gressive farmers. He takes great pride in his stock. His Cotswold sheep - are the finest in Oregon, being from regis tered stock with written pedigree for the last 300 years. His entire flock averaged 15 pounds of wool to the bead, one ewe shearing 25 pounds. , He has Just received a fine lamb that took six state fair preminms being exhibited in seven. different states this fall. He has been very lucky about anything bothering his sheep, a Winchester rifle and his fine hounds protecting the flock, which he visits 'every day. His Poland China hogs are the best that cau be produced. ' They are the .black ones with white points and are registered. He is constantly in troducing new blood, having imported a pair this fall. His cattle and horses are good grrded stock, they not being raised for sale. ' His Wife is. a great lover and1 cultivator of flowers. -They have an in teresting family of three little boys. He employs several men the year around and raises lots of grain." Mew Janitor Appointed. Mr. Charles Barnhart, who ' was a p pointed janitor at the court, house by Judge Hufford and has for two years faithfully and satisfactorily, performed the duties of that position, - was dropped from the county- payroll by the court this week, and W. G. Lane appointed in his stead. - :- , The reason given by the court for the change is thus stated on the records: "It appearing to the court that the ' pre sent janitor, C. A. Barnhart, has now established a basiness or store on Main street in Corvallis, which appears to make it necessary for him to be absent from the court house a part of his time, it ia therefore ordered that on Monday, January 1st, 1900, in the morning of said day, said office become vacant." From which it will be gathered that a man having ho ether business was de sired by tho court. Mr. Lane ia eminent ly fitted for "the position and no douit will give satisfaction. . V No complaint was made that Mr. Barnr hart had in any manner neglected hisN duties and every officer in the building was his staunch Biipporter, but the civil service law does not extend' to cases of this kind and the court is its own judge of whom shall fill the position. : Weatherf ord-Hornins The wedding of Mr. Rialto L. erford .aud Miss .

THE COLLEGE COMMITTEE AB ROGATES ITS AGREEMENT. 3" Work on Jefferson Postponed Until Street Sewer Weather Is More Favorable Resolved, That the common council of the city of Corvallis, Oregon, deem it to the best interest of the city to discon tinue the work on Jefferson street sewer until such time as can be mutually agreed upon by the street committees and the contractors, Smyth, Howard & Stevenson, bat not later than .May 15, 1900, weather permitting. Said . con tractors, when notified,' shall proceed at once and shall complete said sewer with n forty working days . thereafter. Be it further . ..., Resolved, That in view of the fact, that the said city of Corvallis, Oregon, is now and has for a month been using the Van Buren street sewer, the contractors Smyth, Howard & Stevenson, be paid the balance due on the original contract price for said sewer, . together with ex tras, except the draputed claim of one hundred feet of eighteen-inch, pipe, ex cavation and., bank tilling thereof; pro viding said contractors, Smyth, Howard & Stevenson, pay into the treasury of said city of Corvallis, " Oregon, s an amount equal to the interest accruing few- eight months on balance of said contract price. , In consideration of above, settle ment, the contractors, Smyth, Howard & Stevenson, be required to farther secure, the city of Corvallis, Oregon, for the faithful performance of their contract to complete Jefferson street sewer, by giv ing to the city of Corvallis, Oregon, bond in trust of all materials, consisting of terracotta pipe, sand, gravel, cement and iron castings now distributed along Jefferson street and Btored within the incorporate limits of said city. ( The matter -relative to the disputed one hundred feet of sewer on Van Buren street to be taken np for settlement upon completion of their entire contract with the city of Corvallis, Oregon, This was the resolution offered to the council at its adjourned meeting Monday evening and it was unanimously adopted,' all coancilmen except Avery being pres ent. ; - The committee appointed by. the coun cil last week to investigate the advisa bility of , postponement, reported that they had not yet arrived at a conclusion Councilman Hays introduced the above resolution which, met the approval of all present. ' The desire to postpone action for ' the present was not inspired by the con tractors, but done by the council in the city's interest As stated in the resolution, the Van Buren street sewer has been completed and in use for over a month, and $724.50 was strll due on it. The contractors agreed that the interest od this sum for ighf months amonnting to $29, should be deducted if payment was made now. They have been given a warrant for $695.50 cents, and even if theJeuerson street sewer is not completed for eight months .the city is oat "nothing. ' The fall amount paid for the Van Buren street sewer was $4,687.90. .. Eighty-five per cent of the amount due on the Jefferson street sewer has been paid, fifteen - per cent being held to secure the ..city ' against, emergencies. There are six blocks of this ' sewer to be completed before it will connect with the college sewer, which is completed. B. Irvine, who with John D. Daly rep resents the board of regents of the JAC on the joint sewer committee, was pres- sent and ' spoke feelingly of the city's duty to the college in the matter in hand; He gave notice , that if the resolution was adopted, tne college wouia witn drav. her mite of $1,500 toward paying for the Jefferson street sewer. .-.This statement was 'not made as a. threat, and if any councilman -considered it such, he seemed to see no terror in it. Why - the college committee abrogates its agreement because of thi 'postpone ment does not seem to .be in .evidence In the first place such . action would be ungrateful for it is generally .understood, that the city incurred the' expense of the Jefferson street eewer more -for the accommodation of the'cellege than any thing else, and the $1,500 will not more than half pay for the. college's portion of It cannot he that, the - college com mittee fears .the loss of interest on its money, for the funds to be used for this purpose are set aside, and' could be used for no other purpose if the sewer was. not built for ten years. : " ' ' The resolution, it will be noted, re quires mat , tDa work on uus sewer do completed within forty days from May. I 1st, , it bejxg provided, however, that work may be commenced at any time j that may prove desirable. The original contract did not require the sewer to be finished before February 16th,'and if the work is not completed before Julv 1st, which is far from probable, no , one is materially damaged. - - , - Should the city refuse to permit the college to connect with the Jefferson street sewer, that institution would have no other' recourse than to construct an outlet of its own at an expense of sev eral thousand dollars.

Of course, Mr. Irvine waa.' imPffi king, for the A CXSEiOf BLACKMAIL , Governor Cfber afce Notice of Bier's Charges. .The blackmailing charges against Gov ernor Geer, tarted by a renegade sheet of Salem and fostered and enlarged upon by the yellow press of the state; have at last goaded that executive into 110 tice of them. He has. done this in'a letter to P8'101 Uniony4n which he says: '" ." t . ,v "Your urgent request in a recent is sue of the Scou for a Word from me re garding the alleged Receipt' for' the sale of an office, under this administration, has reached me, and, coming as it does, from my boyhood. Jhome,'! where my friends are not nearly limited by political lines, has persuaded me to change my mind and do what '.public men cannot and do not often do that is take notice of calumnies that few of them ever escape." In positive, unequivocal language, Gov ernor Geer brands the story as absolute ly false, and plunge Mr. Plummer deeper in the mire that his own shame less allegations taa "placed about him. The letter is quite long, but says in part: .. "Most disappointed oJfieo seekers are honorable men, " who understand the difficulties of the appointing power; but there is. nothing to preveni,thjsJLo:est class of men from applying, al60, anckit is the duty of those in power to keep them out.

J ' If there is a man in the state of Ore gon who believes that I have been knave enough to-sell my ambition, my self re spect and the good name of myself and children, and stupid enough to sign my name to a bill of sale, and fool enough, having signed the contract and received the money, to not make the appoint ment, as the only means of covering op such a transaction, or idiot enough to re turn the money, without getting back the bill of sale, . these lines are not writ- tea for him, for Jhis opinion, is wholly without value. -1 do' not expect the political support of those who differ from me on political, questions, but I do crave and prize above all. else, the respect and esteem of all classes of my fellow citi zens.

Commissioner Bnckanan Has Relieved . . the Long Tom of Its Bridges. The county court has . ordered - the bridges, or a part thereof, - spanning the Long Tom river - removed. This was done at a meeting of the commissioners court held last Monday for the considera tion ot this matter. A petition signed by E. H. Belknap and 53 others residing in the vicinity ef the Bandy and Liver pool bridges, was presented, asking that the bridges be . immediately removed. The commissioners were informed that by reason of hopes inspired in the breasts of Monroeitea that the Long Tom was to be made a navigable highway, much freight and produce had accumulated to be shipped over this stream. ' Commu nications from the engineers office at Portland made it appear .that these offi cials believed the stream navigable and that proceedings have been started by them for the removal of the bridges.; The court was, satisfied that the best interests of that portion of the county in the neighborhood of Long Tom would be subserved if the stream Can be navigated. and the request of the engineers tore- move the bridges : was equivalent to an order, therefore, Commissioner Buchan an was appointed to take to his assist ance such help as is necessary . and pro ceed at .once to remove .the main span of these bringes, saving as much as practi cal for future use.'' ' Capt, Langfitt informed the court that it was impossible for the snagboat Math loma, whose services were tendered the court, to reach the bridges at the present stage of water, so her help had to be dis pensed with, :. ..-, . . -.'a . Commissioner Buchanan has had th9 spans removed, ana notmng now pre vents the navigation of the stream ex cept lack of water. The court has ad vertised for bids for a draw bridge at Bandy's, and while waiting fer this to be constructed it is probable that a tempo rary ferry will be placed in operation at that point ; " Has Not Sold.
