In consideration of the fact that
it costs to publish a paper we have
decided to conform to the require
ments of the Oregon Press Associa
tion in the matter of giving public
ity (legitimate advertising) to the
various announcements of candi
dates for office and make a reason
able charge for the same. It will
be our policy to do all in our power
for the republican party and its
principles, but there is a certain
class of advertising in connection
therewith that has an individual
commercial value and for this we
expect the individual to pay.

Is the Motor Plow Coming?
The following, which is from
the Beloit (Wis.) News, reminds
us very forcibly of the invention
of General Thorp, of this city,
and the question is whether or
not the writer has not confounded
the men from Oregon and Iowa:
Prophetic of the day when the
farmer will sit in his librarv, en-
sconsed in a comfortable Morris
chair, and start the plows in his
cornfield through the medinm of
an electric push button, was the
visit to this city last week of a
prominent Chicago capitalist and
an inventor of wealth.
The superintendent " of one of
the large manufacturing plants of
Beloit is authority for the state
ment that the manufacture of a
motor plow may soon be, under
taken here,-either independently
or ia conjunction with one Ot
the factories now operating in
this city. The newly patented
plow is of the disc type and is
prepeued bv a gasoline motor.
but definite details will not be
made public for some weeks. The
inventor is a rich farmer, the
Owner, of 7,300 acres of land in
Sac county, Iowa, and the. pro
moter of the manufacture of the
new implement that promises to
revolutionize farming is a " capi
talistic Chicago. .
? Patents on the plow have been
taken out in almost ever civilized
country-of. the rglobe, . In Eng
land, on the continent, in British
India.:: and. in. fact,, in every
country where-a patentee is . pro
tected, letters patent have been
granted.

' The war department of the city
has been instrumental during the
past few days in providing Judge
Yates some business. As the result
of an argument over the greenness
of Corvallis grass, an old-timer and
a comparatively newcomer cut a few
pigeon wings, fell in and out of
post holes, etc., and finally paid a
$10 bill each. Another gentleman
with a "big stick," for threatening
to curtail the liberties of a native
born American, paid a similar fine,
and still another party who
imbibed to freely of the fiery
fluid contributed to support of the
city during the week. If we could
keep up the good work we could
