While all the members of the commisf ioners court signed the con tract awarding the public a free ferry at Corvallis, Cornrnissionei Knotts took .occasion to explain his position and had a statement spread upon the records of the court. We Iiavo been requested to publish this statement, and it ap pears below: In the matter of the position of Com missioner VYm. Knotts regarding the establishment of the free ferry at Cor- vallia, Oregon. Now at this time Commissioner Wm Knotts not concurring in the action of the majority of the court in the estab lishment of a free ferry at Corvallis, Or., presents a paper setting forth his posl tion on said matters, and asks that record be made of the same. It is there fore ordered that said statement be spread upon the journal of the court in full, as follows: In regard to the county assuming to operate a ferry between Corvallis and Linn county, I regret that I am unable to concur in the view taken by the ma jority of the court in the premises. Independent of the merits claimed for this radical departure in county affairs, it seems to me a doubtful experiment at best, and one which promises much em barrassment to the court in the future. While due deference should be given to the petition, representing as it does many substantial citizens, still it is a known fact that any usual petition is numerously signed, whether meritous or otherwise. Various reasons are su gssted to my mind why the court should not embark in this novel enterprise. Among others, it is inequitable that Ben ton county should assume the costs of the ferry business, aa the claimed bene fits to be derived by Linn are certain ly equal to those of our own county and under any equitable base Linn county should bear one-half the expense there-1 of aad Coryallis and our own county the remainfng half. The action of Albany changing Its bridge spanning the river to Benton from a free bridge to that of toll is very suggestive at this time, and clearly in dicates that experience has demonstrated that even a free bridge, maintained at county expense has been disastrous. If at county expense we establish a free ferry at Corvallis for the Benefit of citizens of Linn, adjacent, it would seem for strong reasons that we should grant free transportation to our own citizens j in the north end of the county to Albany. When we make a departure from the usual course, and use the county funds to operate a franchise under Corvallis management, that has from the begin-' ning be?kj in private hands, we place ourselves in a complicated position to ward the public. The moment we establish a precedent by a free ferry at Corvallis petitions will certainly be presented by our citizens for like privileges in Fairmount and Soap Creek precincts to Albanv. For like reasons we will be confronted from th6 south of the county for a tree ferry at Peoria. The court will be forced to be consist ent with itself all citizens must receive equal attentions when their claims are based ou identical grounds.' Besides the county fuHds are made up by the taxpayers of the differeut precincts of the county, and Monroe and other pre cincts ia the south, Philomath, Kings Valley, etc., in the west, and Soap Creek and Fairmount in the north, are certain to claim with much force that we are using their tax money for the special benefit of Corvallis. It is claimed that the several Corvallis precincts contribute a large portiou of the county revenue and for that reason should receive special consideration. In this connection, it is to be remem bered that located in Corvallis is the court house at a cost of $76,000, that the most expensive bridge in the county Is Marys river bridge, that all the county officials are maintained at public ex pense in Corvallis, aggregating the rise of $7,000 annually. Taxpayers of the county precincts naturally claim, ia view of the facts, that Corvallis bas and is now receiving all considerations that she merits from the pnblic revenue. Taxes are uniform the citizen pays on all of his property, independent of his particu lar precinct. While some precincts pay wore than others, it by no means follows that they are entitled to greater consid eration at the handa of the court. Under the old system in private bands the court regulates the toll rates, at the Corvallis ferry which are only nominal. Owing to the condition of the public road in Orleans precinet for several miles in Linn daring the winter months this ferry is used to a limited extent and for at least a month of each year on ac count of high water, this ferry cannot be operated at all. For these and many othar raasons it seems to me that we should not make this radical departure. Under the most favorable view, it is a very doubtful ex periment, and the county, in my opin ion, has no justification in embarking in an indirect bounty at county expense of a ferry enterprise which ia at present successfully operated by an individual. Trade interests are governed by natural laws and we ran not reasonably hope to advance the county's interests by as suming centrol of this ferry at the ex pense of the public. Wm, Knotts A Sunday Mail Serviee. Wednesday's Oresonian con tains this paragraph encouraging the establishment of a Sunday mail service from Portland to Corvallis. If that ioarnal will throw its influence in favor Of sh an .ent. ,r'", we may hope ior iu c. , t;-.! i.i: '- "If the Southern racific Com pany would establish a Sunday service Irom Portland to Corval lis, a. distance of nearly 100 miles, their happiness would be complete. The population of tnis territory lias so increased in the last few years that this ser vice cannot much longer be de nied the people. If this matter were brought to the attention of tne officials of the Southern Pa cific by the residents along this line of railway, no doubt is en tertained but that it would be favorably considered. So much mail accumulates in the Port land postoffice for this route over Sunday that it requires an extra postal clerk on that day properly to segregate the mail for office along the way." The matter has been repeated y "brought to the attention of the officials of the Southern Pa cific by the residents alonr this line of railway." but faverable consideration has been long de- ierrea. Saved His Bacon. A. L. Dabler was arrested Wednesday on a complaint sworn out by Chief Flett, and brought before Justice Holgate, charged with laying violent hands upon a side of bacon in the ware room of Zierolf s grocery store, and surreptitiously removing the same. TJoon beine .confronted o by Hermann Breyer and the side of bacon, Zir. Dabler pleaded guilty and was fined $25 and costs, which he promptly paid. Mr. tfreVer VCas the Hawkshaw in the case, and his wsrk as a detective was worthy of a Pinker- ton. Last baturday, Hermann saw Dabler in the allfv hftplc oi Zierolt's store and noted that he acted suspiciously. He cos- cealed himself and kent a weath- A. er eye on Dabler, who was navi gating tinder a pretty good bal last of liauor. Presently he en- jl j tered the ware room and emerged affectionately embracing a sidG of bacon, which he proceeded to cache irl a neighboring woodpile. Herraaun now appeared on the sceae, seized the stolen bacon, and bore it off in triumph to its ngntiul Owner, t he sequel ap pears in our opening chapter. The Knights at Home. Between forty and fifty guests assembled in the K. of P. hall, Monday evening, to be enter tained by the members f this order.- With the Knights pres ent the total number in attend ance was between ninety and one hundred. A most delight ful evening was passed. E. R. Bryson acted as master of cere monies during the rendition of the program which had been pre pared.

Denman made ad dresses, and there were three numbers for violin and piano given by Ruthyn Turney and Mordanat Geodnoagh. The ea- tire program was most meritor ious and each number was liber ally applauded. Delicious re freshments were served by the Knights as the concluding fea tare of the evening. Died. On May 6, 1901. Mrs. Clarissa Ann Russell Waddell died, being almost 68 years old. She was married in Alabama, in 1849, and in 1894 came to Oregon to reside. She leaves eight ohild ren, oat of twelve, and three adopted children, to mourn her death. She was a member of tho Baptist charch in Corvallia, and was highly esteemed by all who knew her, as was clearly manifested by the large and sympathetic assembly at the funeral services held on Tues day by Rev. Mark Noble at the residence of Mr. Caldwell, her sos-in-law, where she hafl spent the later years of her life. The remains, were laid to rest in Crystal Lake cemetery. After a long season of suffer ing, Clay Custer, aged about 8 years, died at 3 o'clock on the merniflg of May 8th.
