Billy B:iker came down from his home in Junction City, "Wednesday. lie is running the hotel at that place and has been doing a good business, but confine ment does not agree with him and he is going to give up the hotel business and aain take up his residence in Corvallis. He will follow his trade cnrpentering and will go to work for W. O. Heckatt in the course of a few weeks. Mr. Baker has or.auy friends here who will be pleas ed to welcome him back to his old home. Next week the graduating class of the Corvallis public schools will hold their exercises in the Opera House on Wednesday eve ning. The pupils will present a nsat and entertaining program. The clat-8 is so lai ge this year that the graduating exercises will con sume two evenings, Wednesday and Friday, of next week.. The school woik has been most satisfactory this year under the regime of Prof. S W. Holmes and his efficient corps of teachers. .AH sorts of things are resorted to in a case of necessity. Mrs. A. J. Hall, of Soap jCreek," is one of the greatest poultry raisers in the coun ty and at various time3 has had her flock decimated by hawks. She observed the actions of the hawk3 when they were about to seiz a chicken and noticed that thsy would inyariably alight on some thing near their intended victim before making a final swoop upon their prey. Sho is not a good hand with a shotgun and was obliged to resort to anoiher manner of killing the hawks. She proceeded to set a high pole in the barnyard for the hawks to perch upon and on top of this pole she placed a loaded steel trap. In this manner she is rapid ly ridding her neighborhood of hawks. Vote for T. T. Vincent. The Corvallis Creamery is doing a splendid business. One day this week they sent off 3,100 pounds of butter at a single shipment. Last Wednesday 1,900 pounds of butter was churned, but on an average 1,100 pounds of butter is made daily at this establishment. After the Hazelwood creamery ceased operations H. V. Kaupisch raised the price of butter fat 2 cents per pound. If he could secure still more butter fat he would be able to give a greater prce for it, as the cost of making butter is lessened with every pound that is made and the cheaper the cost of producing but ter the more the proprietor can pay. for butter fat. Notwithstanding the immense amount of cream and butter fat they are at present re ceiving from Dusty, Monroe, Junc tion City, Hanisburg, Philomath and other places thov have a good market for all tho butter they can produce and have been obliged to turn away a splendid contract for twelve tons of outter offered them by the government, provided they could fill the order by August. W. A. Sanders, Jeweler. Miss Elva Hale, of Albany, is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Frank Ward. The street sprinkler was out on duty, for the first time this year last Tuesday. The Adams Brs. are engaged at the task of erecting a six-room cot tage for R. M. Cramer. Last Tuesday license to wed was issued to James M. Joey and Miss Lucy J. Manpin, both of Blodgett. Mrs. Jasper Bagley was up from Suver during the first of ths week visiting friends and intending busi ness. In a closely contested game of baseball, the O A C team was de feated by the Willamette Universi versity nine at Salem last Saturday, by a score of 7 to 6. Henry Heanel left, Wednesday, for Northern Montana, where he is engaged in stock raising. He has been visiting his relatives near Monroe for some time. W.'E. Yates and Colonel Philips addressed the voters of Alsea, last Saturday. They report an excel lent meeting and much enthusiasm for the pepublican ticket, both county and 6tate. Quite a crowd of citizens went over to Albany on the special train. Tuesday evening, to attend the closing address of Mr. Chamberlain on his campaign. The O AC band boys accompanied the Corvallis del egation to Albany. The attention of voters is called to the fact that they should exer cise care in making out their ballots on eiectioh day. Two years ago it is reported that in one precinct there were thirteen different ballots made out where attention had been given only to the left-hand or first col umn of names of candidates. Be certain that you understand how to make out your ticket and make no mistake. Last Monday tho bids for con structing bridges across Marys river at this city and the Luckia mute river at Hoskins were opened. The bid of W. H. Milhollen to con struct a-permanent bridge across Marys river and to place a bridge across said stream to be used tem porarily while the main structure was in progress of ronstruction for the eum of $1,344 was accepted. Henry Stone was awarded the con tract to construct a bridge across the Luckiamute at Hoskins for the sum of $449. Each bridge is to be completed on or before the 1st of next July. Vote for Marion Hayden. Socialist, Attention! To Every Populist asd Socialist in Benton County : You are every one urged to stand by your colors and vote your own (the so cialist ticket) on the day of election (this being the old people's party revised) and do not allow yourselves to be switched off to vote for any one on the old pariy tick et, simply because of personal friendship toward the candidate of the old party. They are nice, good fellows, but so are your own nominees; remember yon are voting for principle, and our standiug as a party in the next election will be based on the rote polled at this election in the county for county judge, and in the state, for governor. Let us swell our ranks. There is a circular letter being distributed to all socialist and" populist asking them to vote for Geo. E. Cham berlain, for the reason that he is in favor of the Initiative and Referendum. Com rades this is misleading, as you know the governor will have nothing to do with the matter. But it is a democratic scheme to catch votes of socialists and populists. BEWARE. By order of Executive Committee. O. M. Wheeler, Secretary. The reason this article appears in the Gazette aloue, is because the committee carried it to the Times and it refused to publish it. By order of the committee. O. M. Wueeser, Sec'y. Vote for J. O. Wilson. Restrain Your Laughter. Restrain your laughter, friends! The "Artful Dodger," iu its last issue, at tempts to make it appear that the Ga zette has made an attack upon people ho hold religious views. It bases its contention upon an article which ap peared in tho Gazette," early in the cam paign which said that "the republican ticket is not composed of seraphs or chernbiros.'' The "Artlnl Dodger," was lauding its candidates, about that time, in languaue so extravagant, that people generally were moved to laughter. The Gazette became infpeted with this spirit of raillery and penned the jocose article nvpr which the Times now pretends to be so outraged. The Times might have saved its space. No one who reads the Gazette, or is ac ouaint d with its editor will believe for a moment that anything which appears in ihpsa columns la intended for a fling at religion. True, this is not a religious journal, but it holds for true religion the resDect. It has given columns fits space to advertising church ser vices, scarcely an issue, being without notices from the pastors of churches in thiscitv. It has gladly and liberally assisted every charitable enterprise that has come to its notice. The Times charge is so far-fetched and ridiculous that we lepeat, "Restrain your laughter, friends !'' THAT NEW STORL The Times' Contention tliat Mr. Moses is aa OSjsct of Charity, not Tree. The Times reflects upon the intelli gence of its readers and presumes upon the accuracy of their- memory, when it tells them that "Victor Moses will be set adrifc in the world without employment" if he is defeated for the office of county clerk; that he is the only mainstay of his aged parents, and implies that in the event of Victor's defeat he and they will be without means of support. If the readers of the Times will turn to that paper's issue of January 4th, 1902, they will find an article under this cap tion : A SEW STORE. The Building Leased. To Open in Feb-, ruary. Moses Brothers. m This article said, in part: "Corvallis is to have another mercantile establish ment. A building has been leased for the purpose, and the promoters are clos ing up their business elsewhere prepara tory to remoyal to Corvallis. The latter are Robert G. Moses, of Philomath, S. H. Moses, of Tangent, and A. W. Moses, now of Corvallis, but late of Minnesota. All are experienced men in the mercan tile line. The new estab lishment is to be a department store. "It is understood that the new firm endeavored to buy out some of the largo local establishments, but that none of them was anxious to retire." "Now, this waa only about four months ago. Victor Meses informed the Gazette that he was to be a member of the firm, but that lie would not take an active part until the first of the com ing July. To "buy out some of the large local establishmeats" would require from $20,000 to $30,000. The question now arises if tho Moses brothers had that amount of money to invest h&t January, how can the Times expect its readers to believe that Victor Moses "has no rich relatives to fall back upon in case he is defeate l?" With other sons, in this im mediate vicinity, who had $6,000 or $7,000 apiece to invest last January, it doesn't seem reasonable that Mr, Moses, senior, and wife, will be without sup port in case Victor is denied the salary of the county clerk. Nor does the Times' charity plea that "If not elected clerk, Victor wi'.l ba set adrift in the world without employment," fall on credent ears. Vote for C. E. Woodson. A MANLY REPLY. Mr. Wilson Meets the Charge Made Against Himself and Family. The following circular letter, issued to the voters of Benton county,-ha3 reached the Gazette. We take pleasure in print ing it, for it ii a manly auswer to an an onymous screed against Mr. Wilson and other members of his family sent from ambush in the form ol a pamphlet: Corvallis, Ore., March 20, 1902. Dear Sir : ' I have read a phamphlet entitled : "Facts and figures for the consideration of the voters of Benton County, Oregon" which, I am informed has been distribut ed throughout the county, iu the interest of Mr. V. P. Moses, the democratic can didate for County Clerk. This pamphlet contains a great many insinuations and reflections against my father's family and myself; all of which I consider to be unworthy of notice, fur ther, than to say that they bear internal evidence of the composition of the "Boss" whose bi-ennial grist of campaign litera ture would not be complete without ex pressions of personal malice toward some republican candidate. The pamphlet is largely misleading. Its conclusions are erroneous. It aims to hoid me responsible for the failure of Hamilton, Job& Co., for whom I worked a number of years as book keeper. That the books were correctly kept, - has been attested by a reliable and competent ex pert, employed in the interests of the de positors and that is all that I can be held responsible for. I kept the books, and they were kept correctly. There was a large volume of business passing through the bank, and it required a great amount of clerical labor to enter it correctly in the books. I did that work, and did it correctly, and it took my entire time and attention. It has beeu insinuated that I should be held partly responsible for the man agement of the bank, and its failure. What is that insinuation made for? I understand it to be, simply a well recog nized artifice of campaign managers, to stir up, if possible, a prejudice against a candidate whom thev very much desire for political reasons to defeat. My situation was that of book keeper. Occasionally I received deposits, and paid checks, as all employees of a bank are at times required to do. I was not in any sense connected with the man agement of the bank, nor in any manner responsible for its failure. I had nothing to do with its investments, or its loans, except to make an occasional small loan when the other attendants were gone to diuneror otherwise absent. My business was simply to enter the details of the day's business in its bcoks and that occu pied my time and attention. A bank's stability depends almost en tirely upon the value and stability of its securities and investments. I never at any time had auy authority cr control over their property, securites and invest ments. The causes which led to the failure of Hamilton, Job & Co., are now generally known. But before the finan cial crisis oi lbUo l a id cot know, nor did the public generally, nor. my critics, nor any one else know that the most se vere financial crisis e.er experienced in America was approaching. Trie causes of that crises were not local. They were national. More banks ordinarily sound and solvent failed in that crisis than Sver before and along with them went Ham ilton. Job & Co. We are all wise after the event. I do not think any one knew ; I am sure I did not know, before the suspension of Ham ilton, Job & Co., that this bank was likely to fail. . , "All attempts to charge me with knowl edge of, or responsibility for the bank's insolvent condition before it closed, must be futile, because those charges are not true. The pamphlet also intimates, and my political opponents are circulating the false report that if I am elected I will employ my relatives in the office. This is entirely erroneous, for if I am elected county clerk, I will run the office myself. I am the man the people will meet in person in the office during the continu ance of my term; Yours truly, J. O. Wilsok . Vote for Geo. H. Waggoner. Raising Pheasants. S. B. Bane, who reside on his farm a couple of miles south west of Corvallis, is doing quite a business in the China pheasant line. Last year he managed to secure three pheasant hens and later in the season succeeded in trapping a China pheasant roos ter. He took care of them dur ing the winter and this season the three hens have laid 78 eggs so far. A setting of eggs was placed under a game hen and thirteen young pneasants were natcnea. They are allowed to run about the place the same as ordinary fowls, but Mr. Bane says that when they get to be about the size of a quail it will be neces sary to confine them, as they are liable to be decoyed away by wild Chinas. These pheasants are naturally a very wild fowl, but they become accustomed to those who handle them regularly and are then fairly tame. How ever, at the sight of a stranger they become greatly frightened and will nearly beat themselves to'death agaiast the sides of their coops. Mr. Bane at present has 50 China eggs under hens and hopes to raise a large flock dur ing the coming season. Pheas ants are great layers and it is his intention to keep a strict account of the number of eggs these three China pheasant hens lay during the present season. Mr. Bane says that in his opinion the China or Mongolian pheasant will be seeti in Benton county until the "crack o'doom," as everytning in tins section seems especially suited to their needs. They are a hardy game bird, great producers and have a faculty of taking care of them selves. Vote for W. A. Jolly. Additional Local. Ride a Rambler. Oil meal for 'sale at Wells.
