THE HORSE SHOW.
Big Crowds and Oreat Enthusi
asm. The Corvallis borse show is
history, but the benefits to arise
from the affair will be realized
later and for a long time to come.
There was a crowd each day
that almost equalized a Fourth of
July celebration, and everyone
seemed to have opinions of his or
her own relative to the good
points ot the horses on exhibition.
The affair began at 10:30 a.
m., Friday, when the parade,
headed by the band, started from
Abbott's feed stable and march
ed south up Main street thence
west one block, finally returning
on Main to the feed stable.
Crowds lined the streets on either
side and the horses pranced
proudly alpng as though conscious
ot the admiration they excited.
All day the band played en
the Occidental balcony, and the
crowd remained until late in the
afternoon.
Saturday morning there was
another parade at 10:30 headed
by twelve ladies on horseback,
riding two abreast, this lorming
one of the most attractive fea
tures of the parade. The streets
were crowded again Saturday
and music by the band enliven
ed the day.
A surprise to many was the
large number of animals entered
in the show, and the splendid
showing' made, and
if
anvone
bad harbored doubts . as to
whether the . horse show could
be made a success their, " doub ts
were certainly splendidly dis?
pel led.
The orocrram of events was
as follows:

The show attracted wide at
tention, as was evidenced by
the fact that horsebuyers from
Portland and other places, m for
both light weight and draft
horses, were in attendance, and
took an active interest in the
affair. The horse show will
probably be an annual affair in
Corvallis and too much praise
cannot be given the committee
that did the planning for the
event, the members of which
were Crosby Davis, Thomas
Callahan, Grant Elgin, F.J L,
Miller and Henry Amber. Of.
the committee, no one perhaps
has worked so loHg and faithfully
as the chairman. Mr. Davis, to
whom especial honor is due.

' Millions in Fines.
; A. dispatch from . Washingt6nv
D. C. says:
Fines amounting to several mil
lion dollars will be sought by the
government against the railroads
shown by the Garfield report to
have been guilty of granting
favors to the Standard Oil Com
pany. This report, with added
details, will go to the Department
of Tustice this week and it is as
serted that the waybills, bills of
lading, shipping records and
other documents accompanying
it will form a complete chaim o
evidence upon which to base
prosecutions.
Specific violations showing the
granting of rebates on shipments
aggregating more than 2000 cars
will be alleged in one instance.
Recently the Chicago, Burling
ton & Ouincy road was fined
$1000 a car for six cars of ship
ments upon which rebates were
eiven. No imprisonment pen
alty covered this act, but, if this
is made the standard of fines, the
Government wishes to teach
violators a lesson.
Chicafro. St. Louis and New
York are mentioned as the prob
able places for bringing the new
cases.
One of the most flagrant cases
upon which much evidence is a
hand is that of shipments made
by Whiting, Indiana, to at.
Louis, Mo., for the Waters-
Pierce Oil Company. False
way-bills and discriminating
rates are alleged to have been
used between these points for ten
years, last year alone saving trie
Standard Oil Company $224,000.
A large crowd attended the un
veiling ceremonies at the I. O. O.F.
cemetery Sunday afternoon, many
rigs going out from town. The
monument of the late Charles M.
Smith was unveiled with impres
sive ceremonv. bv the W. O .W.
and that of Mrs. Ladbetter, by
th Women of Woodcraft, with
equally impressive services.
Ernest Hudson, an OAC student,
was called home vesterdav " by bi
parents who reside in Milton, East
ern Oregon, and who Buffered
severe financial 1obb6B in the recent
wash-out in that section. Ernest
was a nonular student and . h.as
many friends in Corvallis

arrived last Friday from Klamath

Marshal Takes no Chances.
A metropolitan exchange has
given the following facts relative
to what is doing in Puter circles:
; Uuited States Attorney Bristol
this morning received a letter
from Secret Service Operative
VV. T. Rums, dated San Fran-
Oisco. M-2Q. exolainine the
InTnl4" Aav in brinffine S
f 1 IT' . . - "
A. ISp Jthe land traud king,
to PortlanaT The letter stated
that Marshal Shine, of the
Northern District of Cahiorma,
would have removed him several
days ago, but was deterred by
the bad condition of the railroad
near Dunsmuir. due to recent
washouts.
Marshal Shine proposes to
take no chances with Puter, and
will not run the risk of being
held up between San Francisco
and Portland by a mishap with
Pater on his hands. -
With the same mail came
some important evidence connect-
ing Puter witn penaing iana
. ... i- j
fraud cases. borne documen
tary evidence, the character of
which the government will not
reveal, came in an envelope, tne
address side of which is literally
covered with recisterv and re
reffisterv. tracing' and forward
marks, showing the meandering
of Pnter back ia iooV when his
chemes were beinsr carried out.
Annthmr imnortant niece Ot
evidence is a codv of a deed and
papers in tic suit brought by
James B. Watkius, in Humboldt
county, California, to recover on
behalf of the Goddard interests of
La Crosse, Wis., $18,000 involv
ed in Puter's famous fraudulent
certificate steal .
Puter and his gang floated a
bunch of.fraudulent school land
certificates in La Crosse. The
Goddard interests bought up
these forged certificates, and
Puter puichased from them an
equal value of good certificates.
These were hypothecated and
the money received. The lands
involved in this deal were used
by Puter as base lands, on which
to defraud the Government, out
of public lands.
Mr. Bristol has been on Puter's
trail for many ' months, and se
curing some valuable evidence
concerning him. He knew where
Puter's headquarters . were- in
San Francisco prior to his dis
appearance February 20, 1906,
when he turued up in Boston
and escaped from Mr. Burns.
A Worthy Cause.
State Superintendent Ackerr
man issued the following circular
letter to the school officers and
teachers of the Dublic schools of
Oregon:
"As a result of the great catas
trophe which befell San Francisco
on' the 1 8th of April, 1906,34
buildings were destroyed to re-r
place which will cost about
3, 000, 000, and a subsequent
lack of employment for .the
teachers who taught therein, the
school authorities in San Fran
cisco are led to accept prof
fered donations to be devoted
exclusively to a reconstruction
fund for the rebuilding of their
schools. Taev do not desire to
seem to beg but the finances of
the city ot San Francisco win De
strained to the utmost and it will
be a considerable time before.
thev unaided, could hopa to re
place their schools. It is their
. . - .
purpose, whenever tne conmou-
tions from a given state snail
reach a sufficient amount to con
struct a building, to , name that
building after the state giving the
monev. In , any. event, taoieis
showing the source from which
tVihnildinor fund came will be
e - , .
placed upon the buildings ana it
will doubtless be a matter or
pride for the rising generation in
their visits to tne. new ana more
glorious San Francisco to visit
the building which stands as a
a monument to their generosity
and'sympathy.
"In view ot these lacts, 1
would respectfully suggest that
your respecave. scnooi aevise
wavs and means by which con
tributions, either great or small,
may be made to this worthy
cause.
"All communications and
drafts should be addiessed and
made out to Alfred Roncovieri,
Superintendent of School San
Francisco, Cal."
