Don't Do 1t.

Bill Nye says: Don't attempt to cheat
an editor out of a years subscription to his
paper or any other sum. Cheat the minis
ter, cheat the doctor, cheat the lawyer,
cheat anybody and everybody, but if you
have any regard for future consequences,
don't fool with the printer. He will get
even with you and more too. You will be
up for office sometime, or want some public
favor for Yourself or some OF your friends,
and just when you think your luck is a
3'thing of beauty and joy forever" the
printer will open up on You and knock your
air castles into cooked hat at the first fire.
He'll subdue you, and then you'll cuss your
stupidity for driveling idiot, go and hire
some man to knock you down and then
kick you for falling.''

A Magnificent Success.

The Corvallis Water Co. have this week
put their new pump into place and haye
begun working the same. It is so arranged
that usually the Water will be pumped into
the tank from where it is carried into the
mains as formerly, but in case of lire the
water is shut off from the tank and pumped
directly into the mains. The first test of
the pump in filling the tank was made
Wednesday morning when the tank, holding
$4,000 gallons, was filled in thirty minutes
In the evening the water was shut off from
the tank and the hose companies attached
their hose to the fire plugs, when most
satisfactory test was had. As many as
three streams were playing at the same
time in different parts OF town, all working
magnifcently. The streams farthest away
from the pump seemed to work as well as
those nearer. It is universally agreed that
this is a grand public improvement, and the
enterprising incorporators deserving of sue
cess. Another test will be given tomorrow,
Saturday, evening, for the inspection of the
city authorities.

Fine Wheat,

Sol King left at this office this week a few
stalks of wheat measuring 7 feet in height,
well headed and with every Indication of
very heavy yield. 1t is what is called the
Centennial wheat, and grew on his farm
near this city, where he has twenty acres of
the same kind, and as he says on the poor
est soil on the place. This wheat seven
feet high is only a fair sample of the entire
twenty acres, and is the product of thorough
cultivation without the aid of fertilizers
Last season Mr.. King harvested over SO
bushels to the acre from this same wheat
He informs us that he sent a few stalks of
the same to New York where there were
other samples of the same variety of wheat
from all other parts of the globe, and that
his was by several inches taller and better
filed than any there. If more of Benton
county farmers would cultivate their soil
more thoroughly as Mr.. King does, more
satisfactory crops would be reaped.

Always Fay ana save Money.

The publisher of the East Oregonian had
a subscriber who repudiated $l.55, claimed
to be due for the paper. The delinquent
was saucy AMI the newspaper men got upon
their mettle and sued the aforesaid delin-
quent. The case was fought by nine lawyers
for the defense and two for the prosecution.
The plaintiffs got verdict for the amount
claimed, and the defendant had to foot
- st bill amounting to S74, besides the fees
mine lawyers. The moral of this case is
pt those indebted to newspapers for sub
iption will find it more economical to call
settle than to attempt repudiation.-
