Council Notes.
The city council met in regu
lar session last Monday evening.
There were present Mayor Wood
cock and council men Allen, Ho
dea, Crees, Henkle and YVil
banks. The special committee,
to whom had been referred the
matter of ihe payment of assess
ments for lateral sewers, made a
report favoring an extension of
time for the payment of these as
sessments J and recommended
that the sewer committee be
authorized to extend the time of
payment, provided the property
. owner wishes to execute w mc
city a note for the amount or
part thtrtof due, said assessments
- secured by mortgage upon the
property upon whic the city
has a lien.
The Corvallis Fire Dept. com
mittee made a verbal report fav
oring the allowance of $20 per
- month to the City Transfer Co.
for sprinkling. This report was
adopted.
The proposition of A. B.
Young to paint the warehouse
recently erected in the rear of the
Gazette building, was referred
to the fire and water committee,
with instructions to receive bids
- for the painting of this ware
house. E. Allen demanded roll call,
when the vote was taken on the

Thanked. Mr. GoodnOUgll.
A l-;oVir ic never without
honor, save in his own country.
This is not always true, but
the exceptions are few. We
have an exception at home in the
appreciation shown the piano
playing of Mordaunt GoodnOUgh,
our brilliant young pianist.
Mordaunt is a musician trom the

stein's "Valse Caprice" in E-flat
and ordered a copy from the
well-known publishing house of
Theodore Presser. ot Philadel
phia. The copy was received in
due season and the waltz had
been simplified. It bore no an
nouncement of its having been;
'simplified" or "revised" and
Mordaunt felt that he and other
who might have ordeied a copy
of this world-famous musical
comoosition had been imposed
upon by the publisher.
A cotiole of weeks a"o Mor

itS incorrectness, as IS shown by
the following extract from the
letter received by Mr. GoodnOUgll
last Tuesday:
M. A. Goodnough,
Corvallis, Oregon
Dear Sir:
You are quite right in what
you say, and this is the first time
I knew that Mr. Landon had
nirl anv corrections in the
nricnnal codv of Rubinstein's
piece and this 13 the first com
plaint we have had. . I will look
into the matter immediately.
Of course when we found out
what Mr. Landon was dcing
along this line we immediately
withdrew from him I will
now fee if we cannot correct the
Rubinstein waltz, and bring it
back to the original. Many
thanks fer your letter. We do
not consider it in any way a
complaint, but a very good sug
gestion. Yours respectfully,
Theo. Pressed.
A Word From Mr. iiaVte.
Ed. Gazettk; I note that "Citixen"
continues his attack on the Coast Land
& Live Stock Co. in the tax matter. Al
though in my former letter I gave a plain
straight statement of the matter, every
allegation of which I am ready to verify,
and which, to any unbiased mind, was a
complete answer to all of his insinua
tions ; stil', I desire to add a few words.
So far as any benefit to the taxpayers is
concerned, there 13 no poiat to his arti
cles. We have already tried to eecure
either a settlement, or an opportunity to
have the matter tested.
If Citizen is honest in his pretentions
that he. J. actuated in this matter solely
for the good of the taxpayers and the
public, why dees he disguise his name?
Surely it would be an honorable distinc
tion to be the champion of the people in
such a case as he would have them be
lieve this is, and most men would be
proud to be known as such.
However, I think it will be proven
that there is a motive behind all this,
but I will leave the public to guesS it for
the time, or gather it from his last com
munication.
I conceded in mv last letter that Citi
zen was better posted on the history of j
the land transactions, prior to my be
coming interested in tnem, man 1 was
myself. I now also concede, that owing
to his long experience in such matters,
as well as by his legal training, he is
probably as well posted in tax matters as
any man in Benton county.
I think also, if my memory serves me
right, that Citizen was the first one to
advise me that those taxes were not a
189".
T. ... , , , , ,li;-r.nt
ire uvw u v--..H-
taxes commence with the year i695. To
delinquent taxes assessed against
flll of the Geo. S. Coe. trustee, uroperty
for that fyear, the sheriff in I896 levied
UDon. and soin ttie zj-acre tract on
College Hill, known as the Col. Hogg
property, and this was bid in y J. II
Wilson for the amount of taxes and ac
crued costs.
Mr. Wilson did not pay for his pur-
chase at the time, bnt allowed it to lun
on until about six months after the next
tax sale had taken place, when he wrote
a letter to the sheriff, the following ex
tract from which will explaiu the matter
"Corvallis, Or,, June 29, iS98.
P. Rickard, Esq., Sheriff Benton Co.,
Oregon,
Dear Sir : Referring to a bid I made
on the 20 acres west of Corvallis for taxes
for the year 1895, I have bad the record
examined, with reference to the correct
ness of the proceedings on which the sale
is based, and I am advised that a tax
deed to that propeity for that year would

I therefore, slate this to you as niy
reason for not completing the purchase.

uourt on the matter, taigneaj

Citizen refuses to allow his name to
be divulged, but I knew that Mr. Wilson
is a very good authority on tax matters.

ceeding years are practically the same as

"Taxpayer" takes a hand and aski
WMy has the property not been sold for
taxes? The probable answer would be,
that Sheriff Rickard did attempt to sell
for the years 1895 and 1S96, with the re-
I suit as above, and he was then notified
that the property was in the hands of
U. S, Court and he could, not sell it
But even without that knowledge, it is
hardly probable that, after the former
experience, he would have done so with
out an express order of the County
Court.
After mv company purchased the
lands, I notified Judge Woodward per
sonally of the purchase; also that we
had been advised that the taxes against
Geo. S. Coe, trustee, and A. Masten
receiver, were not a valid claim ogaiust
our lands, and that we would not pay
them except we were compelled to by
law. Again, before the tax sale of last
year, I saw him and suggested that the
remedy was in an order of sale. This is
siruDly a plain business transaction. The
taxes are not ours, and
if void why
should we pay them?
We have been readv at any time to
test the matter, but it was not our bus.

I attended to the assessment for 1901
in Lincoln county. The taxes amount

paid and on an assessed valuation of

'grant lands" were assessed, although
Citizen, after I had corrected him
once on this, again declares that we only
paid en them at an average assessment
of 80 cents an acre, and is so very par
ticular as to name the page and line on
the roll, when that same roh -hows that
the valuation was $20,569, an a vet age
of $i 25 per acre. The levy was 24 mills
and this made the taxes amount to
$498.1 1. A portion of this was assumed
by purchasers, and the balance paid by
us as appears by the sherin s boobs.
In Citizen reiterating this statement
after being once corrected, we are justi
fied in assuming that itisawilfnl mis
representation, andit is a well established
charge in law that a witness who is false
in one statement, may be presumed to be
false in all. He waxes very eloquent
and wroth over the fact that these taxes
are as just as any in Benton county, and
I agree with him that they are probably

many
that the taxpayer does not know J
reason
it, and cannot afford to fight it lor the
amount involved. I have paid such my
self, and I warrant that "Citizen" also
knows of many such.
In the last paragraph of his article of
Correction (?) he eays that "it is stated
that this company has negotiated a sale
of the lands to Eastern parties, at a
price two or three times greater than
their assessed value, but they hare to
square the back taxes first.''
We are negotiating a sale of the lands,
but at no such price as he suggests.
neither da we have to square up the
back taxes. If we succeed in this sale
it will also prove of great benefit to the
county. It will also benefit every citi
zen of the county, as the. purchasers will
arrange to have the lands settled as soon
as possible. This will mean at least one
huudred more families added to the pro
ducing and taxpaying population of the
county.
That last paragraph explains the ani
mus of all of his articles. Citizen
knows all the circumstances; knows that
our claims are correct, and also that
nothing he can say will deter us from
pursuing the course we deem to We right;
but in his envy and malice he probably
hope that he may cause us trouble or
loss in this transaction, and he dares not
toaka the charge he has over his own
signature.
I crave your pardon, Mr. Editor, for
taking so much of your valuable space in
answering a father.ess article like that
and will leave the matter so far as Buch
are concerned. M. M. Davis.

Condition of Fruit.
The fruit crop of Oregon, generally
speaking, is good, prices fairly good,
with a prospect for better prices for
prunes, says the Telegram. The fruit
conditions were discussed at the quarter
ly meeting of the executive committee of
the State Board of Horticulture. Those
nresent were President E. L. Smith, of
Hood River; I. T. Reynolds, of Salem,
and George H. Lamberson, Ihesecretery.
The usual accounts were audited.
"We have ho reasou to complain of
crops generally," said Mr. Smith.
He said the apple crap of the Hood
River district was an average crop
ThorA was a full croD of cherries and
these had the advantage over the ones
raised west of the Cascades, as there was
less rain to crack them. He said they
were proving a good shipping product
and would be raised more extensively in
the future. In fact the acreage had al
ready increased considerably the last
year. The strawberry crop, he said,
would yield 53,000 crates.
Quoting from the report of Comniis-
sio.ier Judd Geer, of the Grande Ronde
Valley, Mr. Smith said the prospects
were nood for a full apple crop.
A larger quantity of apples, owing to
increased acreage and full crop, would be
shipped this year than for any previous
year.
Prunes would give about a 50 per cent,
crop, with some orchards a total failure.
Pears were looking fine. Cherries
would average 50 per cent, and the straw
berry crop was good.
The report of A. II. Cat son, of South
ern Oregon, to the president, treated
mostly upon the 6pray question. He
