MORNING PROGRAM
Ceremonies Open with Regi
ment Passing in Review
Before Captain Merry.
Throngs of visitors from all parts
of the valley, went to Corvallis by
automobiles and over railroads, yes
terday to witness the spectacular gov
ernment inspection of the military
department of the Oregon Agricultur
al College and to enjoy the other fes
tivities arranged for their benefit. The
day was truly a gala one for Corvallis,
and President Kerr and a corps of
college instructors assisted by lead
ing Corvallis people proved themselves
to be affable hosts in receiving vast
crowds of visitors who crowded every
spot of the big campus.
The morning program was marred
to considerable extent by persistent
showers and finally drove the military
participants and spectators to the big
armory, wlierc a big portion of the
ceremony was carried out. However,
Old Sol made a Gracious and annre-
c rated appearance before noon and the
campus and baseball grounds were
in fine shape for the afternoon cere
monies. The realistic manouvering of the
contending armys of the Reds and the
Blues in the sham battle was the fea
ture of the day. The battle took place
on the campus in the afternoon be
tween the two batiliions of the cadet
regiment constituting the armies.
The Red army was commanded by
Cadet Major W. L. Dutton and the
Blue army was -under the command
of Cadet Colonel C. P. Moffit. The
Red army was making its way from
Newport to Albany and was engaged
by the enemy on the college campus
and after the entire forces conducted
a series of maneuvers the hostilities
were declared off, amidst the cheers
and yells of hundreds of spectators.
It was a most realistic sight to watch
the two forces maneuvering on the
campus. An advance guard, constitut
ing the Blue army discovered the en
emy as they entered the south end of
the campus and immediately reported
the case to the commander of their
main body. Major Dutton deployed
his men across the entire north end
of the campus, concealing them be
hind trees and bushes. In the mean
time the advancing Reds detected a
patrol of the enemy and immediately
deployed in line of skirmishers and
conducted a series of advances across
the entire campus. into the ambushed
lines of the enemy when the battle en
sued. Promptly at 8:30 o'clock the cere
monies were opened when the O. A.
C regiment in column of companies
passed in review before Captain W.
T. Merry, general staff United States
Army, inspection officer; Colonel G.
E. Young, Captain J. H. Page, Lieu
tenant J. C. Fairfax and R. T. Snow,
all of Vancouver Barracks, and Lieu
tenant C. F. Endicott, of Portland,
and Captain C. A. Murphy and Lieu
taenant S. E. Trsisk, of the Oregon
National Guard. Formal inspection
of the regiment by Captain Merry
followed and the remainder of the
forenoon was devoted to competitive
drills.
The Bodie banner, a trophic award
ed annually to the prize company,
was won by Company F. Captain
Rowley Cruit, df Wcllcn, Or., commanding.
The first of the series of the O. A.
C.-University of Washington baseball
games was won by the "Aggies" yes
terday afternoon ut Corvallis by i
score of 10 to 5. Both teams secured
11 hits and were charged with 4 er

A school house cannot be moved to
make way for a county road accord
ing to a decision rendered by the
county court yesterday. The ques
tion arose over the application of R.
Sheldon and others of Scio, and vicin
ity, for a road proposed to- be located
through the site of a rural school
house near that place when a demur
rer to the petition was tiled by John
Shinanek and others. The subject
was discussed as to whether' the court
had a right to grant a road through
the school property, making it neces
sary for the school bouse to be moved,
and the court ruled that the road
could not be located across the school
site, unless a new location was select
ed for the school house by the voters
of the school district in the usual
way.
The petition for the highway was
continued until the next term of court
at the request of the petitioners who
will institute proper legal methods
in the endeavor to arrange for the
moving of the school building.
UNUSUAL COINCIDENCE
IN LINN COUNTY COURT
Ex-Judge Palmer and Ex-Commissioner
Sprenger to View
Ex-Clerks Road.
An unusual coincident attended the
granting of the road petition of Frank
Crabtree and others by the county
Court yesterday when the viewers
were appointed. Ex-County Judge H.
M. Palmer and Ex-County Commis
sioner H. B. Sprenger were named as
two of the viewers with County Sur
veyor Geddes, and the peculiarity of
the incident is the fact that Mr. Crab
tree had just relinquished the office
of county clerk at the beginning of the
year 1900 when Judge Palmer and Mr.
Sprenger went into their respective
offices, each serving from 1900 until
1904. Mr. Crabtree was elected to the
office of clerk in 1898.
The petition was for a road in Dis
trict No. 12.

F. M. Redfield; Who Has Been
Experting Books, Filed
Report This Week.
REPORT SENT IN THISTERM
COVERS CLERKS OFFICE
During First Term of W. L
Marks Incumbency Increase
Indicates Much Business.
That the accounts of all the officers
of Linn county are correct and that all
o'f them have been accounted properly
for all county money they have hand
led is shown by the final report of
F. M. Redfield who has been expert
ing the books of the various county
offices the past week.
Mr. Redfield concluded his work
this month and filed with the copnty
court this week his reports .on the
books of the county clerk's office. He
had filed reports previously on the
other offices of the county and bis re
ports show that there are no shortages
in any of the o'f f ices of the county.
The report filed at this term of
the county court covers the county
clerk's office during the two terms
of J. W. Miller hs county dark and
the first term of County Clerk Willard
L. Marks and shows that both of
these officers have properly account
ed for all money they have collected.
The report shows the remarkable
increase in the volume of business in
the clerk's office in the past few years.
In the four and one half years Mr
Miller was clerk, from July 1, 1906 to
December 31, 1910, he collected a
total of $11,599.50 in county fees. In
his first term as clerk, Mr. Marks
received $7,886.65 in regular county
fees.
The steady increase in the business
of the county is shown by the follow
ing record of fees received by the
county clerk's office for each of the
past six years, the figures being taken
from Mr. Redfield's report: 1907. $2,
177.95; 1908, $2,719.50; 1909, $2,553.75;
1910, $3,078.45; 1911, $3,448.05; 1912,
$4,438,60. t -
There is an increase of over a
thousand dollars in fees in the year
of 1912 over the record of 1911. and is
strongly indicative of the rapidly in
creasing business throughout all parts
of Linn county and exemplifies the
fact that the county is enjoying a
splendid growth.

In two cities of the same size, one with a Bell mon
opoly and the other with' competition, the rates of
monopoly are twice those of competition. Compare
the figures below for yourselves, and tell us if we are
not right. Shylock was modest compared with the
Bell Telephone Company. No wonder the different
cities are waking up and demanding why this is.

Note that in every instance the rate in cities where
there is competition is a flat rate for an unlimited
number of calls. In many of the cities where the Bell '
has a monopoly, that company has tried to get away
from the unlimited service rate and substitute a limit
ed service rate. A glaring example of this is found in
the City of Baltimore, where the Bell has a monopoly.
Prior to January 1, 1913, the rate for business tele
phones was $125 per' annum for an unlimited number
of calls. On January 1st they abolished the unlimited
call rate and inaugurated the limited service rate.
Under the latter plan the business man who has 5,400
calls a year now pays $174 per annum as against $125
per annum under the old unlimited plan. lie pays more
for less.
Why should the Bell telephone rate in Chicago.,
having a population of 2,185,283, and where there is
telephone competition, be $125 per annum for an un
limited number of calls, while the Bell telephone mon
opoly rate in Washington, I). C, having a population
of but 331,069, is $168 per annum for 5,700 calls? And
why should the Bell telephone rate in St. Louis, hav
ing a population, of 687,029, and where there is tele
phone competition, be $78 per annum for an unlimited
number of calls, while the Bell Telephone monopoly
rate in Denver, having a population of but 213,381, is
$138 per annum for 5,700 calls? Where the Bell has
a monopoly its rate is regulated by its greed.
VAIL BOLDLY ADVOCATES MONOPOLY
In Boston, on February 18th, Mr. Vail, the Presi
dent of the American Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany, in an address before the Merchants' Club said:
"Competition in public service srstems cannot go hand in hand with
State or Nationl regulation or control. Regulation or control was in
tended to leave no margin in the permitted, chargns for service to pay
the capital charms on duplicated plants or maintain two or more
plants at a high stetc of efficiency when one would answer public re
quirements. This makes impossible those conditions under which
competition thrives, but in its place brings about all the practical re
sults and advantages to he derived frnm Slate or National ownership,
without any of its attendant obligations or disadvantages of Govern
ment operation."
Compare this statement with the table Riven opposite and ice
what monopoly has done to the public in the way of
telcphehe rates.
