Benton county has the honor of being the first county in Oregon to pay her state taxes. Last Wedi es dav Treasurer Buchanan sent $4, 000 to Salem. This a little more than one fifth of Benton county's state tax an I was the first money received by the state. Benton county will have to contribute $18, 079 as her share of the state tax for the year 1901. 1 rva Qll 4Vtr a contribute. employed urday, Fred Forgev, the 1 -year- old son of George Forgey, of that city, acident illy shot and killed himself.

Such a predica ment! Hermann had posession of an island and Mr. Whitford had the smallpox, I ney were separated bv waters that would not open a passage for them as the red sea did for the Israelites. "Count. von Bismarck" was sea sick and would not again attempt to reach his patient. Word finally reached town of the state of affairs and Hermann's lriends were afraid he might go wild on the island before assist ance could reach him. But this fear was a groundless one. On the other hand there were many expressions of sympathy for Mr. Whitford, and it was feared that exposure might prove a serious matter to the sick man. How- ever, he got baclc to tne cabin and managed to get along alright. Hermann finally turned up at Henry Gerhard's, and, from a safe distance, called to know if he could pass the. night in an unused hog-pen. rienry told him where there was a small cabin that he could occupy. ;Bis" got some straw for a bed In pursuance with the call of the Chairman of the County Central Com mittee, of Benton County, the said com mittee met in the County Judge's room, the meeting was called to order by Chairman O.

Home From Manila. Mrs:- C, E. Dentlar and littl son arrived Friday from Manila, Philippine Islands, whither they went about- six" months aero to join Captain Dentlar. Mrs. Dent lar had a varied and interesting experience while - in the islands. Two trips on - transports around the new,, possessions of Uncle Sam, ach covering a period of about 30 days, gave her a pretty good idea of the geography of that country. Captain Dentlar is now stationed on the island of Leyte and conditions are not con sidered safe there for wives the officers, so Mrs. Dentlar de cided to - return home to the United States. Her husband will be relieved from duty in the islands two - years from next April, and Mrs. Dentlar wil probably be separated from him during this time. The trip home on the Hancock was a most stormy one, the ves sel being two days over due. Mrs. Dentlar left yesterday for a visit at her old home near Philomath. of "The Wife."

R. Lake at eneA out and Saturdav afternoon . j the Paris Exposition as a collabora tor in the horticultural display made there by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. The special honor to Oregon in this award is found in the fact that Prof. Lake was the only one ot the collabora tors in that department from the United States who was granted this medal. The work was done by him whrle conducting his prune in vestigations for the Department of Agriculture. Prof. Like made it a point to be at every competition of horticultural exhibits-, although in one case this made it necessary for him to make a trip of hundreds of miles at his own expense. Oregon Agriculturist. Mr. A. F. Peterson's reputation a3 an architect and builder extends beyond the confines of Benton county. In mch e?teem is his abil ity held abroad, that he has spent more lime away from Corvallis during the past lew years than he has at home Besides the fine court house at Fossil, Gilliam coun ty, be has constructed numeious fine residences and other buildings. A few days ago he received requests from Dallas to come to that city and take the contracts for a couple of fine residences, but he refused, having determined to remain here however tempting offers from abroad might be.

All 011 board were as well as could be expected. A "comedy of errors" appears to have followed in the wake of everything that was attempted in behalf of Mr. Whitford. To start with, Deputy Sheriff Hen derson started out with a rig to hunt a nurse. When a number of miles south of this city, his team ran away and generally raised tha mischief. "Samp" finally tied Irs unmanageable team up and had himself brought to town by a countryman. Friday morning Mr. Hender son went down to the pest house to await the arrival of the small pox patient. He awaited until late in the evening, when he walked into town. He had gone without dinner or supper. Again, Mr. J. O. Wilson, when he learned of the terrible state of affairs that existed on the island occupied by Mr. Whitford and Mr. Breyer, made a slight mistake in sending Jack Wright down with the news. The latter got to town all fiht, but fell by the wayside long enough -to in capacitate him for conveying reli able information regarding the trouble. After Jack's arrival Jim Cane A large number of people attended the drama at Artisan Hall, Saturday evening. The play was entitled "The Mountain Waif, ' and was criditably produced by the "Wells Home Talent Dramatic Club." The admission was. 15 and 25 cents and the door receipts netted a nea' sum. V Mrs. Emma Huey returned Thursday from a visit - with relaTives in Polk county. . . ." - S. E. Beal and wife, both former stu dents of the O A C, have rented andLnow occupy the Wrightsman farm, near the Ed Wiles place. James P. Wilson, after a residence of many years in the immediate vicinity of Weila, has disposed of his property to Mr. Stillmaker, of Mfc. View. The farm comprises about 149 acres and the con sideration was $4,000. Mr. Wilson is to give immedfate possession. His' many warm friends in this vicinity hope that he may continue to make his home in this neighborhood. " D. O. Edmunds has just returned from Portlaud. where he spent the win ter. He will again enter the employ of A. J. Hall, for whom he has worked for the past two years. A fall from the fense resulted tn a dis location of an arm, for Clement Wilson, Llast week. The little fellow, however, is rapidly recovering the use of the in jured member. Mr. and Mrs. John McLain, of Buena Vista, were guests over Sunday at the Robert Wilson home. Another Benton county farm has changed hands. The seller is August Pagenkopf, for about ten years a resi dent of the vicinity of the North Palestine church. The purchaser is County Clerk Hamer, of Linn. The consideration, $4,000, includes the farm, the present crop, live stock, farm imple ments, etc, and possession is to be given May 1st. Mr. Pagenkopf and family are highly esteemed in this vicinity, and although their future plans are unknown, it is hoped they may find a new home in Benton. The roads in this end of the world are almost bottomless, due to the recent hard rains, and farming will not be com menced soon. Tootsv.x Defeated Salem. The O AC basket ball team won its first game of the season at the collage armory, Saturday night, in a most spirited contest. The victory was a notable one. The Jocal team 1 layed its first game with the Salem team at that city a few weeks ago and was defeated by a score of 63 to 11. In Saturday night's game, it turned the tables by defeating Salem by a score of 14 to-11. The visitors were highly pleased wilh the treatment they received, and have no excuse : to make for the result S O A C lost to Monmouth by a small margin in its game with that team, and a return match is being arranged. Monmouth de feated Portland Saturday night. Everyone who attends the performance of The Wife," by local amateurs at the Opera House Friday night, are assured a pleasant evening's entertainment. The play is strong and high class. CAST: John Rutherford Geo. I. Paul Of the New York Senate. Matthew Culver B. B. Geer In Politics. Robert Gray Hany Davis Auoruey-at-wiw. Silas Truman ..C. E.
