..t- CORVA Vol. XLII. Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon, Friday, July 4, 1903. ISO. r 'raw vjxjljl GOVERNOR'S THREAT. What He May do to Iowa She Repeats. if Readers of the Gazette will re call the fact that some two months ago the sheriff of Crawford coun ty, Iowa, returned to this county one Russell Gifford, claiming him to be insane. Benton county officials had said Gifford exam ined and he was adjudged insane and sent to the asylum at Salem Oregon has always been con siderate enough to care for all insane within her borders and it seemed something of an outrage that Iowa should leturn. to Ccr vallis an insane patient, especi ally when such patient had no relatives here, nor any property interests, neither were there any sentimental reasons for so doing. It would appear that the sheriff ' of Crawford county, Iowa, desir ed a little trip. , But this did not end the mat ter. The state of Iowa recently presented a bill to this state for the sum of S171. This sum Iowa thinks due her for trans porting Russell Gifford to this city. A dispatch sent out from Salem last Thursday contains Gov. Chamberlain's views on the subject, as follows: Officials of the State of Iowa got severe scoring from Governor Chamberlain today for bringing an insane man to this state, turn ing him loose and then asking Oregon to pay the expense of transportation. "If this is the proper course to pursue," says Gov. Chamberlain in reply, "Oregon can find a con siderable number of former resi dents in the asylum here and can take them back to their home state and ask Iowa to bear the expense." He does not threaten that this will be done, but he makes his opinion of the action of the Iowa officers plain and says that it he ever knows of a sheriff bringing an insane person here again he will have the sheriff ar rested and prosecuted. The man who was brought to Oregon was Russell Gifford, formerly of Corvallis. Gifford went to Iowa and the sheriff of Crawford county brought him back to Corvallis and left him. The county court of Bento i county committed him to the Oregon Insane Asylum. The Board of Control of the the State of Iswa wrote to Gov Chamberlain, asking that the State of Oregon pay the expense of transporting Gifford, amount ing to $171. Governor Chamber lain says most emphatically that the State of - Oreeon will make no such payment. He informs the Iowa officials that Oregon 'has always been charitable enough to care for all the insane found within her borders, regardless of the length of time they have been in the state. He says that beyond doubt if the states of Oregon. Washington and California should adopt the practice commenced by Iowa, these three Western States could get rid of one-half of their insane patients by returning them to Eastern States from which thev came a short time prior to their commitment. After answering the letter ol the Iowa officials, Governor Chamberlain said in an interview that there should be a law on the statute-books making it a crime for any person to bring an insane patient to this state to throw him upon public charity. School work. Several persons j were present as delegates who have been connected with this organization for over twenty-five years, notably, J. H. Edwards, of Monroe, and Prof. Sheak, of Philomath. . The Rev. Dr. Beatty, of San Francisco, and the official repre sentative of the Sunday School Union of the Methodist Episco pal church, was present during the entire convention and assist ed greatly by his addresses and explanations of some of the dif ferent questions involved in Sun day School work. His address Friday night was especially high ly spoken of by those who heard it. The address 4 'The Bible as Literature," by the Rev. Mr. Green, of our city, was regarded as an address of unusual merit. The officers elected for the en suing year are as follows : Presi dent, J. H. Edwards; vice-presi dent, W. E. Swann: secretarv and treasurer, Miss Hollester, president home department, Mrs Cramer. JKesoiutions 01 tnanks were voted to Dr. Beatty for his ex cellent services, and to the offi cers of the Methodist church for the use of the edifice. The dele gates expiess tnemselves as very much encouraged in their work through the help of the conven tion. Mayor Johnson Estimates Proposition. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Vidito in this city was the scene of a pretty wedding Sun day, the bride being Mrs. Rachel Murray, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vidito, and A. C. Freeman, rnuomata. ine ceremony was performed bv T. T. Vincent, at high noon, in the presence of about 20 relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Vidito acted as bridesmaid and grooms man. After the congratulations were over, the company sat down to a delicious wedding dinner. The bride was ; becomingly gowned in white and carried bouquet of roses. The parlor was artistically decorated for the occasion with cut flowers. Mr, and Mrs. Freeman will reside be yond Philomoth, the groom be ing engineer at the Benton coun ty saw mill.

To the Voters of the City of Corvallis: As we approach the date set for us to vote upon the question whether or not authority shall be given our Water (Jommittee to proceed with the issue of bonds and the contracting for and build ing of a mountain water system, provided always, that they shall find when finally approaching such contracts and sale of said bonds, that said water system can be put in within the limit as provided in the bill, and of such material as they may find after careful investigation can be re lied upon to serve without decay or breakage for a sufficient num ber 01 years to lustitv tne ex penditure; I become more and more convinced of the fact that many of our citizens have not yet luJly satisnea tnemselves as to the thorough practicability of tnis mountain water system on basis of cost approximating $75,.- 000. It is to such as these, men, who are actuated wholly by what they think will prove for the best interests of our city and who are Irom tne very nature ot tne im provement in favor of it, if it can be shown to be not too great a burden, or what is better still absolutely no burden upon our taxpayers; that I wish to .briefly address myself with the accom panying statement of facts. First permit me to say that I have gone to the trouble to cover the entire city in company with auother and carefully count every residence, hence the estimates here given I am sure can", be re lied upon as fairly conservative. Also I may sav that oh account of having figured for some three months on this matter, which finally led myself and associates to submit an offer to install such a plant under private ownership, I think I may perhaps claim at least an equal right to estimates along these lines and expect that they may be relied upon,, as some others who have done so and who make it appear that this plant cannot be made self sustaining, but heie I might call attention to the fact that they say also that they are in favor of a mountain water system under municipal ownership, but that they want to wait and get started right, etc. Now permit me to ask it this appeals to ou a an honest argument? for most 1 .'' surety a cnange in tne maKe-up of the Committee or Commission, is soon to have an ample water system of its own, but I am of the opinion the college will be glad to take mountain water when an opportunity offers and likely the additional income from this service would prove quite an acceptable ittrn. Besides the city is getting service all this time absolutely without cost which is worth $1500 per anum. I think it unnecessary to say more, lor surely all aie anxious for good wholesome water and plenty of it, both from the stand point of health at d fire protection when it is so plain that it can be thts had without it costing us a sirgle cent, except we take water from the system after it may be installed and in that case we shall most surely, be getting value re ceived for every dollar so spent, when the very low rates above figured are carefully considered, and don't fail to remember that even though you should not rent the water that your property will have fire protection from this most complete system, and thi we must all confess is more than the great majority of us have at present. I surely have as little personal interest as any one can have who lives outside of the limit at pres ent protected by the present system, for I have a wind mill, on my property, but realizing the untold benefits from many stand points 1 urge all to join in an earnest support of the proposition. Yours for an up-to-date city, A. J. Johnson. Doctors said He would not live. Peter Fry, Woodruff. Pa., writes: "Af ter doctoring two years with tbe best physicians in V aioesbnrg, and still get tint; worse, the doctors advised me if 1 had any business to attend to I had bet ter attend to it at once, as I cou'd not possibly liveanother month as there was no cure for me.
