There is a vast difference to the tax-payer between the county of ficial who has "practically" paid his own deputy hire, although he did sue the county for the same, and a man who never asked for or received one cent of deputy hire. Miss Dorothea Nash leaves short ly for England. A dinner party in her honor was given by the girls of the Sorosis club, Sunday. The guests were Miss Snell, Mrs. Cord ley, Mrs. E. R. Bryson, Misses Jacobs, Olive Hamilton, Leona Smith, Martha Fircher, and Miss Thompson, of Salem. The hoodo is lifted from the freak steamer City of Eugene, and during the past month she has made more money for her owners than she ever did before since she has, been run ning. When her original owners got her loaded to the guards with debt, she passed under the hammer at United States Marshal's sale, about a month ago. M. Olsen, the speculator, and Ben McCauley, the hotel man, bought her in foi $1500. rl ! Diikianloi1 in cmnfi cmnil - natured joshing from their friends, but steamboat men who knew the intrinsic value of the machinery in the unluck v packet, considered it a bargain. Yesterday the speculators vindicated their judgment by eell inorthfi steamer to the Charles K.

Dr. Lowe leaves Saturday noon. Mrs. Wm. Staiger, of Salem, is visiting friends in this city. There is a rumor in Corvallis io the effect that Arthur W. Bowersox, who resides near Philomalh, has suffered a sudden "stroke" of Bome nature. i1 acts couin not oe ascer tained, but it is stated that Tuesday while working in his garden he dropped to the ground, a senseless heap. Whether this is of paral lytic nature or not was not learned. The annual inspection of the cadet battalion of the O AC was conduct ed by Inspector General Mans, of Vancouver barracks, on the college campus yesterday morning at 8:50 o'clock. The proficiency of the ca dets in manual and evolution under the instruction of Commandant Edwards, is most satisfactory to the authorities and the students them selves. Yesterday the remains of Daniel Taylor wereinterred in Crystal Lake cemetery. Services were conducted by Dr. Thompson at the residence of the deceased. Last fall the de ceased purchased the Frank Davis farm, not far from Philomath. His death was caused by B rights di sease, and he had attained the age of 66 years. A. Kyle returned home Saturday from Eastern Oregon. He has been employed at bridge work on the Columbia River & Southern R. R , now in course of construction in that section. After a month or such a matter, provided he does not find employment of a satisfactory nature in this vicinity, he intends returning to Shaniko, where he is assured of employment. The most pathetic thing seen in forty years was the submissive way in which the rank and file of the fusion movement obeyed the man date of Mc. and Frank and denied themselves the pleasure of hearing ex-Congressman Howard, of Ala bama, the ablest advocate of the principles of populism in the coun try and a powerful orator. It is either awfully pathetic or it is un commonly funny. STILL UNANSWERED. 'Citizen' Asks That the Times Explain These Facts. The Rally. Daring the beginning of the week the Editor Gazette: Again I notice that the Corvallis Times does not denv that Mr. Watters claimed on the stump that he was an over-worked omcial by registering the voters gratis The fact is. he was masquerading before the public as a hero, when he had an un derstanding with the members of the county court that he should receive for this extra work the wages that an extra deputy clerk would cost the county. The Times says, "Watters has not received cent for registering votes.'' Granted, yet he expects to enforce his agreement with the members of the county court and get in the neighborhood of $195 for these ser vices. Everybody who read the Times notice of his work, mentioned about two weeks ago in this particular, knows it was to be understood by that notice that Mr. Watters was doing this work free of charge for the county. Let Mr. Watters now deuy that he at first asked for a special deputy to do this work, and then asked to do it himself for a special depu ty's hire, and then did it with the full expectation of receiving this extra pay, if he truthfully can do so. A statement that "he has not received a cent for registering voters" does not say that he does not ex pect to do so, nor that he and the Times did not wish it understood by the public that he was doing so without extra pay. Pie does not deny, nor does the Times for him, that he sued Benton county for $60 a month deputy hire, thereby costing the county money in defending the suit. Does that action look like great love for Benton county? He was then by law getting $5 per day for every day in the month, including Sundays, for services as county clerk, yet he sues the county for deputy hire for James Skipton at $50 a month. Does thia prove great devotion by him to our interests ? Again ha does not deny the fact that he requires the attorneys in all the cases to prepare all journal entries for him per taining to the conrt business. We re peat, Messrs. Wilson and Hunter were able to write up the court records with out the aid of lawyer, and did so as do all other clerks than Mr. Watters. He is in that regard a mere copyist, a $5 a day copyist at that, to say nothing of the extras he draws down for deputy hire. He does not dny that the present law puts the purchase of all supplies in the A Corvallisite's Doings. Adolph Peterson, a well-known con tractor of Corvallis, returned yester day from Glenn's Ferry, Idaho, where he has become interested in a promising placer mine near the bank of the Saake river, says the Oregonian. He has personally superintended the construction of a new gold-saver, at quite an expense to his company, and the machine would have been mixing gold dust and quicksilver ere this but for lack of water. A ditch several miles long had been dug from Cold Spriog to the diggings, but it passed through too many farms on its way down to admit of much water reaching the golden gravel. The company has there fore decided to put in a pumping plant at an expense of $4500, and this will raise the water out of Snake river, which never fails ot supply. A system of dumpcarts will be instituted to bring the gold-laden dirt to the machine, a dis tance of 150 yards. The works are ex pected to be in full operation this fall, and they can be run night and day the year round. Mr. Peterson says the steam dredges now operating on the bars of Snake ORANGE OR LEMON? Which Will Capture the Championship Cnp at Salem Tomorrow? Our College Interests. Tomorrow the O. A. C. athletes, a host of enthusiastic students, and numerous admiring citizens will take the special train over the C. & E. for Salem, where the sixth an nual field meet of the I. A. A. O. will be held to decide which college in Oregon shall hold the champion ship for the coming year. U. of O. has held this title for the past two years, and should she Cokvallis, May 31, 1900. Editor Gazette : I have seen a circu lar, purporting to show the record of Representative Nichols, and which seems to be in circulation over the county. I would remind republicans of one or two things not to forget. What is a leg islature anyway? If your representa tive or senator desires votes in support, lcr instance, of aa appropriation for the college buildings, in order to get this support he may find it necessary to. vote for this sr that measure coming before the In Memoriam. Seasons of sorrow make all the world akin and open up the fountains of the human heart. As a friend of the family I desire to speak a word of consolation to the bereaved ones over the death of W. Lynn Hunter. Nothing I can say may give comfort for time alone can assuage the grief. But as I looked in the face of that mauly boy at the Presbyterian church, after the kind and sympathetic words of Dr. Thompson had been spoken my heart swelled with sorrow, and I felt as I did when I looked in the face of my be successful on this occasion, the championship cup becomes her per manent property. But the stal wart sons of old O. A. C. are the slip between this cup and the uni versity lip. Many of the team who helped the orange to carry off the Honors in "til, will battle for it to morrow. The struggle will be a magnificent one, with U. of O. and O A C the central figures. Ray Goodrich will represent the agricultural college at a meeting to are capable ot washing trie Hour gold from 2000 to 3000 cubic Tarda of sand per day, and the steel shovels reach away down into the bed of the river for gold These dredges," Mr. Peterson says can be run at a profit on sand contain ing 3 cents a yard, while much of the Snake river deposit goes as high as $10 to the yard.

They took a team and wagon and gathered up everything about town that could be used to make a bonfire. Everything was made ready Wednesday for a blaze the following evening, and nearly all of the boys had sought their couches for the night, when it was discovered that some one had set fire to the pile prematurely. Of course it waa a college joke, but there was much indignation expressed that the big fire should be touched off 24 hours too soon. However, they gathered material yesterday for another bonfire last night. Songs, speeches and various exercises of were indulged in around the big fire, all of which was calculated to inspire con fidence in the team of athletes who are to compete for honors in the events at Salem tomorrow. Last night eyervthing passed off as planned and those in at tendance enjoyed themselves hugely. The the track team will go to Salem to day In order that they may secure a night of rest before they-enter the arena for the final struggle. The Sheriff. The office of sheriff is -a most im portant one. No man in Benton county is better qualified to fill it than J. M. Cameron. He is a thor ough business man; careful, honest and energetic. He will shirk no duty and betiay no trust. No re publican has done his full duty, who fails to cast a vote for J M. Cameron.

He does not deny that he importuned the court for the extra furniture recently put in the clerk's office at a cost of $732 and that he asked for about as much more. The records show that Mr. Watters never paid much taxes and it is of small importance to him whether we do so or not. What is Benton county to him who has only lived in the county, aa a1 present bounded, as an officer, feeding at the public crib. His interests are not ours ; we have kept him ever since he came to Corvallis, and he does not feel the heavy rate of taxation that we have to bear, or he would certainly protect us more $1800 per annum, extras for tax rolls, extra furniture, extra everything except extra work by the clerk. Let us have a man for clerk in sym pathy with Benton county who can take the clerk's office and run it with leas ap petite for expenaea. Citizen. May 31, 1900. Notice to Creditors. Notice ia hereby given that tire under aigued has been duly appointed executor of the estate of Geo. W. Buckingham, deceased, by the County Court of the State of Oregon, for Benton county. All person! having claims againat said estate are required to present the same duly verified to me at my residence, near Dusty, in Benton county, Oregon, or at the law office of E.

A telegram from Eugene to a Portland paper states that it is reported that some pro tests will be entered by O AC. We have benn unable t j ascertain anything in support of this state ment. It is to be hoped that each institution will be permitted to en ter its team and let this bo a con test of brawn and not one of shrewdness and diplomacy. While anything like professionalism is to be deprecated in these games, still a tendency toward barring legiti mate representatives of these great institutions for trivial and technical reasons, simply to gain advantage, is unsportsmanlike, and should not be encouraged. Ihe 'Oregon Weekly, the official paper of the student body of U of O has this to say of the outlook: lhe race for the championship cup will probably narrow down to a close struggle between O A.C and U ot O. Krom present indications the chanc?s are about even. Wil lamette University and Pacific Col lege will both be well represented, but it is not thought that either of these teams can cope successfully with those of Eugene and Corvallis. Sanders will no doubt win in'the shot put, while Beatty ought to carry off first honors in the bicycle race. Heater, Jr" C, will win the vault and in the hurdles stands an equal chance with Palmer, 0 A C, and Williams, U O. Buckingham, W U, and Knox, U O, are the best men in the high iump, while Smith and Heater have tied each others records in the broad jump. Bur naugh, 0 A C, has thrown the hammer over 120 feet in practice and Smith has a record of 125 feet 8 inches. The contest between these two men will be a keen one. The greatest sport of the day will no doubt be in the five runs. Bishop, U of O, and Colvig, O A C, will do the best work in the short sprint?, while Redmond; U of O, and Redd, O A C, are evenly matched in the quarter. The half mile promises to be one ot the best events of the day. Bur nett, O A C, Kenworthy, P C, and Payne, U of O, are picked aa the winning trio, but it is difficult to say in what order they will finish. Stimpson, O A C, ought to win the mile, but both Wilkins, W U, and Payne will crowd him closely; al though Stimpson's record is 4:50. Huffman, O A C, will win the walk, as he is recognized as the best man in the state. The excursion train will leave the C & E depot at 6 o'clock Saturday morning, and returning will leave the fair grounds at 6 p. m. Fair for the round trip is $1.50. H. H. Glassford, the republican nominee for assessor, is eminently fitted for the duties of that office. He has had much to do with men and affairs, and has had wide busi ness experience. A veteran of the civil war, he has performed the ghest duty of a citizen and he performed that duty well. Having the ability and the desire to do so, he will fill the office of assessor with credit to himself and satisfaction to the taxpayers. Mr. Glassford was born in Ohio, in 1844. He enlisted in the Union army in 1861, and served in the Shenandoah valley under Fremont. He re-enlisted in 1863, and was with Sherman and Kilpatrick until the close of the war in 1865. Twenty-three years ago he came to Oregon, and during his residence here he has filled many places of trust. For a time he was commis sary of the state insane asylum, and later was superintendent of the farm of that institution, and has the highest recommendations for his efficiency in these positions. He is now a resident of Kings Val ley, where he is highly esteemed. W. S. Tomlinson. The republican nominee for re corder, W. S. Tomlinson, has been a resident of Benton county since 1871. Born in Linn county in 1869, he was but two years old when his parents moved to the farm near Wells where Billy has lived ever since. He was born and raised a farmer, but farm duties were not permitted to interfere with his edu cation, for he was given excellent schooling and graduated in the commercial course at Albany college in 1893. He is therefore eminently qualified to perform the duties of record r, which require clerical ability and training. His people were pioneers of Oregon, his mother having been a resident of this state since loou, ana nis mtner since 1860. His liberal disposition, genial per- sonalityj and rugged honesty have made a friend of erery man who knows him, and his election to the office of recorder is generally conceded. legislature. Oftentimes the very nature j own fa hu coffi and realized the of the measure he may vote for is enough for him to know it cannot be carried. More than that its advocates, having constituenta of their own to eatisfy often know and explain that their measures are hopeless. Still they have to do for them what they can in order to fulfil local expectations at their homes. Now if thia is kept in mind, I doubt not but that every republican, and I hope many democrats alao, having our college inter ests in view, can cheerfully 8upport R. J Nichola, our republican nominee for the legislature. I have taken some pains to follow Mr. Nichola public record in the legislature and there is not one place where he ia open to any attack or criticism. He has served one term in the legislature, faith fully, and we have much to thank him for. I do not believe that we will obtain the substantial benefits for thia county and the college, and which are so much needed, by making any change in the representative. Elect him and our col lege interests will be faithfully taken care of, but if we reject him no matter how honorable or truatworthy may be hia opponent, we may lose a very aub atantial advantage in this matter, and one which the institution cannot well afford to lose now.

Editor Gazette : Your issue of May 29, contaius an article signed "Citizen,'' which takes Mr. Watters to task for not raising his voice against an extravagant demand for a book which was purchased for use in my office. "Citizen" ia mis taken when he says the book was sold the clerk. Mr. Watters was in no wiae responsible for the purchase of this book, and no blame attaches to any offi cer of the county. The book was needed in my office, and I so informed the book agent and referred him to the county court. When a bill of $30 waa presented for it. by the book firm, the court consid ered it exorbitant and allowed only $20, which was finally accepted by this firm. J. A. Gellatly. May 31, 1900. Bought a Gravel Bar. At a special session of the city council last Tuesday evening, the proposition- to have Corvallis and Benton county purchase jointly a gravel bar, was agreed to. The bar is known as the Sol King bar, and the purchase price is $1,000. The county will pay half of this sum and the city will pay half, and each will share equally the cost of operating the ferry used in connec tion with the bar. The gravel will be used in improving streets and roads, and the city's financiers fig ure a saving ever the old method. Notice of Meeting of Creditors.

Dated May 29, 1900. force of the words of David, "Would to God I had died for this, my son." How many of ua grieve deeply for loved ones laid away forever among the pale sleep ers of the graveyard. The mounds scat tered ever that little enclosure speak elo quently of gems of love, withered hopes and blighted joy packed away forever. As I looked upon him lying in his cof fin it waa hard to realize that he waa dead, for yesterday "song was upon the lipa of the pale clay, and sunshine seem ed to dwell where ere he moved; the wel come and the blessed now gaze and bear the silent into rest." But death ever lovea a shining mark, and he can in a mo ment desolate a happy bome and sear forever hearts that never knew a pang. Thia severing of earthly ties ia the great est treat we have in this life, and as link after link slips away from love's chain we are led to feel more and more that thia is not our abiding place. There are few who can look around and say, "my heart's treasures are all here." I can but think how man is bat a apeck in thia mighty world. His life circlea away like a bubble on the ocean. The busy stream of life flows on as though no wave of sorrow or misfortune had ever risen to its surface, and day by day the great, the gifted and the strong, fall one by one. And there is not an hour that flits away but bears the burden of a life, the myatery of a death. Now a tender bud is called into being, then the strong man ia dust and the heart's altar a heap of blackened ashes. But we must not murmur; it is the common lot of all the high, the low, the rich and the poor moat all come to the same cold bed at last. We can say, "God gave he took," but it is not always easy to say "Blessed be His name, for Hia way is mysterious, and when our loved ones go we axe apt to ask why were we selected for this great affliction ? But we must remember that tribula tions spring not out of the ground, but are directed by an infinite love that takes our treasures from earth and transpose! them to heaven, that where our loved ones are there our hearts may be also. Death ia always solemn, but when it cornea to the gay and strong in the prime of lig it eeems doubly so. Beautiful ia that season of life when we can say in the language of the Scripture, "Thou hast the dew of thy youth," but of these do (vers death gathered many. He places them upon his bosom, and he ia trans formed into something less terrific than before we learn to gaze and shudder not, for he carries in his arms the sweet est blossoms of our earthly hopes. We aball see them again, blooming in a hap pier land. Yea, death brings us to our friends again. Death has taken thee, too, thou hast the daw of thy youth. He placed thee upon His bosom and His stern countenance wears a smile. The far country toward which we journey seems nearer to ua, and the wav leas dark, for thou kast none before, passine so quietly to thy rest that day itself dies not more calmly. "Our brother ia not dead, but sleeoeth. and shall riae again." May the breezes blow gently, the green thereof rest softly o'er the bosom of the loved one, and the songsters warble their sweetest notes over the hallowed spot his last earthly inheritance.

LADIES who wish to avoid the bother of home work, or the details of dressmaking, will be interested in our new line of dress skirts. All the fashionable fabrics of the season are included in the line, and the skirts have the fit and 'hang" af the best dress makermade. Take a look at them and you will agree with us. Prices from 45c to $6.50. GROCERY selling in a depart ment store no longer attracts attention because of its novelity, but for the reason that the best of food products costs less there than the exclusive grocer charges. This store is easily in the lead in this respect. Our grocery de partment is appreciated by well posted buyers because it offers an opportunity to supply the family needs in this line at closest prices. Country produce taken. WHENEVER you find a properly organized and rightly conducted men's furnish ing stock in a -dry goods store there you will find a successful one. Men no longer shun dry goods store furnishings, for they know they can get correct styles at close prices. We invite the attention of our customers to an especially fine and complete line of neckwear just opened. SHOE value consists in wear, style and comfort. If any of the three are lacking the foot wear is not good value. Our shoes are strictly reliable in qual ity, therefore long wearing', they are stylish, as can be seen at a glance; they are comfortable, be cause fitted by an expert. All onr customers will bear out these statements. We believa this is the best place for you to buy shoes, and solicit your patronage. F. L. Miller. Every item offered below is proof of the above assertion. The quotations are only a very meagre representa tion of the values which place this store unquestionably in the lead. This store is crowded with the most com plete and comprehensive stock of dry goods we have ever shown. Every line was bought at close prices, and the goods will be passed along to our customers at the usual small margin of profit which has made this store so successful and popular. The New Spring Parasols Are Here This store offers many attractions to economicai buyers. A store that relies solely on low prices to win and hold trade is playing "a losing game." To win such success as this store is winning it is necessary that the low prices should represent goods of strictly reliable quality. Every woman in this city who is posted on dry goods, and who takes the time to compare goods and prices will admit that our values are superior. We make and hold customers by treating them right. We lead; others follow. IF you want a stylish spring hat for $3.00, just as good as the $5. 00 kind, come here. The only difference is in the absence of the name, and "what's in a name." If you are willing to pay two dol lars for a name, buy the five dol lar hat. If you want to pay only for the hat, come here. Agent for Kingburry hats. OUR glove stock is the best patronized and most popular in this vicinity, because we make a constant tffort to show a larger line, and offer better glove values than any other local dealer. It is not easy to do a satisfactory kid glove business. It requires long experience, careiul buying, con scientious selling and a willing ness to be content with a small profit. We recognize all these requirements and conform to them. That's why Corvallis women can get better gloves here for the price than elsewhere. -BEFORE your spring gown are fitted a new corset wil be needed. That goes almost without saying, for everyone knows that an ill-fitting or worn out corset spoils the fit of the dress. Our corset woman can help customers select the proper model ona that will improve the figure. Consult her and you will be better satisfied with your cor set, and the fit of your dresses. Prices from 50c to $1.50. RECENTLY advances have taken place in all lines of cotton goods. Before the advance . we stocked up with cords of do mestics shirtings, sheetings, ginghams, prints, and other cot ton goods. We are now selling these goods at just about what other merchants have to pay for them at present prices. Yon will find this store a good place to sup ply your needs in this line. F. L. Miller.
