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.

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,

The reason this article appears in the

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.

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 .

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.
