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.

the departure of the athletic team for
Salem, the scene of the field sports. 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

The office of sheriff is -a most im

than J. M. Cameron. He is a thor

and energetic. He will shirk no
duty and betiay no trust. No re

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

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.

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

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. B.

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

out corset spoils the fit of the

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.

ton goods. We are now selling

other merchants have to pay for
them at present prices. Yon will
