ROJSBVELT TO WIN. It now begins to look like a battle-royal between Roosevelt and the great corporation inter ests of tha ''0'jntry. It is alleg ed that there is a conspiracy on foot under the supervision of the Rockefeller-Harriman-Hearst combination to defeat the further ance of what is generally known as "Rooseveltian" principles and policies. In fact, the allegation is made that a fund of 5, 000, 000 has been pledged to defeat any man whom President Roosevelt might endorse as his successor. In the meantime beyond doubt every thing possible will be done by this combination to block such legislation as may be a hindrance to the consummation of certain undertakings as are not sanction ed by Roosevelt and the masses In this task the alleged conspira tors will undertake to mould public sentiment against Roose velt and his party. Just at this time they could conceive no greater task- While not always approving tV? president's acts the public n.ver distrusts his motives; that his objects are worthy and his aims for the public good the vast majority of his fellows will agree. That he is a man for the people cannot be denied, and his policy for attempting the regu lation of railroad and corporation interests is a matter very close to the.public heart. Such being the case the majority will side with --oosevelfc and will stick closer thin a wax plaster in the straggle betwaen him and those pledged to down his policies. It looks as though the effect of tha fight made against Roosevelt or any man he might select as his successor in the presidential chair, democrat or republican, might drive Roosevelt into the acceptance of another term at the White House. And the more corporation and railroad inter ests fight him the greater the certainity of his re-election. Should Roosevelt again run for the presidency he will be a good man to back- It is also a safe pre diction that he get none the worst of it in public opinion where there may be a clash be tween the president and the cun ning triumvirate, Rockefeller, Harriman and Hearst. Great are all things Oregon! Whatever we set out; to do we always play first "fiddle" before we're done with it. To U3 be longs the credit of the greatest "true" fish story this year. A sturgeon got stuck on a Snake river shoal and was hooked. Small wonder the sturgeon got j stuck as it weighed 560 pounds. A few of these fellows in a fish basket would represent a good day's catch. Up at Hood River the school boys are said to have killed a skunk in school. Probably the varmint followed Mary there, a la' lamby. At any rate it lost its life for following a dangerous precedent there is no school in session at the present time, as the house is being fumigated and the boys are enjoying large doses of the open-air cure. Old Landmark to be Razed. The old building on Main street just vacated by the J. B. Marvin restaurant is one of the oldest in Corvallis and no one seems to know just when it was built nor who built it. It has been used mostly as a saloon, among the proprietors who have been in business behind its doois being Cushman, Baker, Cooke, Hanson & Taylor, Davidson and Tomrny Whitehorn. Away back in 1884 a shoot ing affrav occurred there in which Nick Baeson was shot bv Hugh McTimmons, and the af- 1 fair is often recalled by old (timers to the present dav. Be- -on was a butcher and McTim mons was a bartender. John Meninger and a gambler named Sid M jore also w minor parts in the play. Braeson was not ! riouslv wonndfd, but Mc Timmons got a year in thepen for the shooting. These, and many other inci dents of by gone days are dis cussed about 1 he streets as the rorkmen begin tearing' away this old landmark in order to make room tor a modern brick building. A part of the building will be moved back towards the alley for use as a wood shed and the remainder will be razed. Meanwhile the old structure, that stood next door is now on north Main street, in front of the Beach warehouse, stuck fast in 1 the mud and waiting for the sun to appear and dry the streets so that the moving can proceed. It goes, as previously stated, to a location near the saw mill, to be used as a dwelling. CONFERENCE NOTES. Facts of Interest to Many What Was Done.

It certainly begins to look that way tor a Newport writer says in the Reporter: "The surveying party under the direction of the chief sur veyor, S. L. Miller, completed the survey from Seaside to Newport Thursday, March 28th. The whole distance Irom Sea side to Newport is 116 miles. The party was in the hill for about three months. The last stake was set on the bluff above the Ocean House. The survey ran along the high bluff north of Nye Creek and crossed the creek at the hath house. Andrew Por ter who carried the transit said the route was practical lor a rail road but it would be costly to build it; said that along the Til limook coast was the worst he ever saw for logs and brush, but he said the views both on land and sea was grand beyond des cription. But the road once built wou'd be traveled by all tourists who enjoy the scenic beauties of nature. The party by orders from headquarters was disbanded and departed for their homes Saturday morning as happy as clams at high tide af ter being in the mountains fo? three months. But the most fortunate thing of all w-isof.tbt-eighteen men who composed the party not a single acc dent occur and none.of them got sick. He is Dead.
