People are arriving from the East

times a little troubled to find a
suitable house that they can rent
on their arrival. It is said that a

number of dwellings with a view to
leasing them.

very much pleassd with it, and
my very best thanks are due to
the officers of the league, as well
as yourself for the possession of
this pretty piece of work.
I am especially attached to the
conservative tone of the pamph

estimates, and in this respect it
stands far above the ordinary,
gushing, over-drawn real estate
iterature of our times. Then,

how such work can be distribu

This work has materialy strength

not fail to investigate your beau

Real estate is on the boom

seekers came in, but I think
they are buying mostly unim
proved land for speculative iu

going on. I have not found

am not discouraged. I think I
will make it in the course of

would be glad to be foot loose

A Double Suicide.
R. A. Bowman left for Portland

fering him employment for a
month or more. Portland is ex
periencing a building revival, and
numerous houses and cottages are
springing up. JYJr. Uowman will
work for a firm which is just com
pleting five residences. 'He will
return to Corvallis when these are
ompleted.
Mrs. R. A. Murray, who is now
in Philadelphia in order to give her
children an opportunity to advance
themselves in art, has written an
interesting letter to a friend in this
city in which she gives a splendid
description of the City Hall of Phil
adelphia. This building is 537
feet in height, being the highest
building in the United States and
the third highest in the world.
In accordance with the statement
made in our last issue, Sheriff Bur
nett served papers on J.. D. Howell
last Tuesday and the latter appear
ed before Justice Holgate. R. C.
Kier, the plaintive in this case,
met with Mr. Howell and the mat
ter was talked over and an agree
ment arrived at whereby nothing
will be done in the matter at
present and Justice Holgate contin
ued the case to some future period.
A short time 8go we published a
letter that had been written by J.
W. Jones, of Kansas, to Sheriff
Burnett, of this city. Sheriff Bur
nett sent Mr. Jones such matter as
he was able to secure and put him
in connection with others who could
supply data. A day or two Pgo
Sheriff Burnett received a second
letter from Mr. Jones, and the.lat
ter stated that he was greatly
pleased with what he had learn
ed regarding this section and
indicated that he would in all prob
ability come to Oregon to reside.
The ULion Gospel Temperance
meeting will be held in the M E

The annual financial statement
of the Oregon Agricultural College
for the year 1901 shows the follow
ing: Expenditures for salaries,
$20,276.95; incidentals, $21,230.41
making a total of $41,507.36. The
total receipts from appropriation,
laboratory fees, state interest, etc.,
were $63,285.93, and when the ex
penditures, amounting to $41,507.
S6. have been deducted a balance
of $21,778 57 is left on hand. This
business for us, should ve locate
out there. From what they can
earn, they think that would be
the best thiag for us, and I don't
uow but what they are right,
but we will leave all this to the
future.
I received the papers you
indly sent all O K . and thank
ou heartily.
One of the men whose names I
sent you some time ago, died a
short time ago. Another, F. I.
Reber has sold out, and gone to
Oklahoma, but does not like it
there, and talks of going to Ore
gon this spring: to look around.
There are several around here
who are inclined to investigate
Oregon and Washington. Should
be able to come out soon, I
could bring five or six good
men with me, but I shall induce
no one to go, . or stay away.
Each one must be his own judge.
Some Tax Matters.
Careful investigation of a subject
before one begins discussion of it,
will, as a rule, obviate a deal of ex
planation before it is finished. This
is true of the muddle into which
the public mind has been befuddled
in the matter of Benton county
taxes.
Here are facts. There is no ne
cessity for speculation: The coun
ty tax levy is 24 mills, as follows:
County purposes, Dmills; State, 8;
county school, 5; county roads, 2.
The county court is responsible
only for the levy for county pur
poses The management of Ben
ton county's affairs has nothing to
do with what the state levy shall
be; with what the road tax , shall
be; with what the school tax shall
be; with what the city tax shall be.
One is fixed by state officers; one
by the legislature; one by the vote
of the tax-payers of each school dis
trict, and the last by the city coun
cil. The levy for county purposes
last year was fixed at 10 mills;
this year it is placed at 9 mills. The
court believed that an 8 mill tax
would be sufficient to defray the
expenses of the county for the com
ing year, but there is the probabil
ity that the ferry across the Wil
lamette at this city will be pur
chased, when the lease now in force
with Mr. Blumhart expires in May.
The amount raised by the extra 1
mill can be applied on the purchase
price of the ferry.
Last year the state levy was 5.7
mills, this year it 33 S mills. .The
two mill road tax provided for by
the last legislature does not affect j
the cities of Corvallis and Philo
math. Besides the 23 mills for
state, county and county school
purposes, Corvallis will have to
raise 7 mills for nty and slraet
purposes, and 5 mills for special
school tax, making 34 mills.
Philomath tax-payers will have to
raise 32i mills.
Last year the special school tax
in district No. 9 was 24 mills, and
eur city and street tax was 6
mills. The tax for purposes out
balance, with the receipts to come ! side of these two items was 21.9o
in during the present year, will be mills, making a total tax on Cor
applicablfl to the expenses for 1902.1 valls tax-payers of 30.45 mills,
A telephone dispatch to Corvallis
Wednesday morning announced the sui.
cide of Miss Nana Ungermaa at McMin
ville the previous evening. Miss TJnger-
man was a student at O A C last year,
and the news of her self destruction sur
prised and shocked those who knew her.
The Oregonian contains the following
facts concerning the suicide:
Despondent from reasons unknown to
their families or (friends, tired of living
and determined to die, Nana Ungerman,
night telephone operator at McMinnville,
and her chum, Mrs. Ollie Gaunt, a di
vorced woman, drank arsenic in deadly
quantities, in the telephone office last
night, both succumbing today to the ef
fects of the poiBon. Miss Ungerman
called np several ; operators along the
telephone line and told them she and
her companion were tired of living and
were taking the poison ' at the time the
message was sent. The grim an
nouncement was , not believed and
those who received the message thought
the McMinnville central - was .indulging
in chatting over the wire. -
The poison was taken about half past
o'clock hwt night. Miss. Ungerman
had bmi acting as night operator in the
telophoiKi office. She was accompanied
to her work by Mrs. Gaunt, and both
nwuukI to be in the best spirits when
Mr. Meiuhroe, the proprietor of the store i
n which the telephone office is situated
left liU osUbliehment early in the eve
ning. Mr. Hembree returned to his
ton about 9 o'clock, and found Mrs.
Gaunt standing iu the rear door of the
building, ill. As she became worse at
once, a physician was summoned. Un
der his .direction Mrs. Gaunt was re
moved to the home of her step-father, T.
A. McCourt, while Miss Ungerman
walked out unaided and apparently in
normal .health. In a short time Miss
Ungerman was taken ill.
Miss Ungerman is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. K. P. Ungerman, highly re
Bpected citizens of McMinnville. Mrs.
Gaunt was the daughter of Mrs. T. A.
McCourt, of this city, and was a general
favorite. Mrs. Gaunt formerly lived in
Hilleboro, where Bhe was well knowo..

The case of Z. H. Davis vs E.
rlartless and wife occupied the at
tention of Justice Holgate's court
Wednesday forenoon. This is an
action on an account, the amount
involved being $265. The plaintiff
alleges that the defendants owe this
amount on an account run while
the former was in business some
ten years ago. A note was given
ring the account. About a
year ago Mr. Davis- brought action
to collect the note, but was non
suited. The present action is an
attempt to collect on the original
account. J. N. McEadden repre
sented the plaintiff, while E. R.
Bryson appeared for the defendants.
"The Village Parson," at the
Opera House, Tuesday evening,
was quite liberally patronized.
It is a play full of heart interest,
and replete with intense situa
tions. The characters are drawn
wonderfully true to human na
ture, and they are presented with
a freedom from stagyness that is
refreshing. "The Village Par
son" requires an elaborate pro
duction, and special scenery is
an absolute essential. This was
not provided at Tuesday night's
performance, and many who
witnessed the play wrong!; at
tributed this "something lack
ing" to the work of the players.
