SOLD AN INTEREsT.-Last Tuesday
Geo. 4. Fish sold one half interest in
his stove and tin store to G. A.
Murphy. The firm in the future will
he known as Fish and Murphy.
Mr.. Murphy is a Salem boy and a
competent plumber by trade, IS an up
right, moral young man and would be
a good catch for some of Our Corvallis
young ladies' to "Fish" for this leap
year. CThis is on the quiet.) The
new firm starts out with good prospects
for a fair share of the future business,
and besides their line of stoves and
tinware they will make speciality of
plumbing in all it's branches.

DELINQUENT TAxEs.-The allotted
thirty days since the sheriff visited the
various precincts to collect the taxes
have passed and vet only a trife over
twenty thousand dollars are paid, leav-
ing about seventy thousand dollars
still due, to which will be added the
usual penalty and mileage for sheriff,
as provided by law. The taxpayers
seem to be unusually slow this year
about paying up, and consequently
viii be more out of pocket than if they
had been prompt.

The Albany Democrat has the fol-
lowing to say about Carl Karr, our
boot and sEoe man: Mr.. Carl Karr.
the Corvallis wholesale boot and shoe
man, was in the city today receiving
orders for his goods. Mr.. Karr was
contemplating locating at both Craw-
fordsvllle and Brownsville, but finally
decided to Start his factory at Corval-
lis. His samples show some well made
foot wear at prices that will permit
him to compete with the best eastern
trade.

old man who lives i'll this county short
distance from Albany, was found a few days
since lying beneath the trestle of the Ore.

fallen some time during the previous night.

but was in drunken stupor. He had gone
to Albany the day before, taking with him
two sacks of greens, which he exchanged
for liquor. He was evidently pretty we'll
loaded when he started home some time in

had black eye and was bruised consider

PROHIBITION MEETING.-The Christian
church was filled to overfowiug with an
audience last Monday night to hear MIR.
Wolfenbarger, of Nebraska, discuss prohi-
bitlon as party issue. Leaflets were
handed around and Prof Huckins, who is a
fine singer led the audience in a number of
songs. He also sang several solos which
were loudly applauded. After prayer by
Rev. L. 1. Mercer, the chairman, Mr.. J. c.
Hutton introduced Mr.. Wolfenbarger.
While we do not agree with him In many of
the ideas advanced we must admit that he
Is very forcible speaker and held the
audience from first to last. A prohibition
club was organized with a number of MEM
bers and about fifty altogether have signed
the million voters pledge. It seems to us
rather out of place to pass the hat after
political speaking. The drumming for sub
scriptions savors too much of the method
used at some religious meetings. In this
case tie effect of the speech was largely
dissipated by it.

The FIRsT TR1p.-A correspondent
from Corvallis writes to the Statesman
as follows: ''As there is considerable
interest taken in the steamer R. C.
Young on the upper river, I will give
a short history of the first trip from
Corvallis to Harrisburg The river
was about three and half feet above
low water mark. We found plenty of
water until we got above Peoria. Be
tween there and Harrisburg there are
several shoal bars, owing to the water
running out through sloughs. IVher-
ever the water is confined in one chan
mel there is plenty of water for any of
the upper river boats. A few thousand
dollars spent in damming the sloughs
and removing snags would allow boats
the size of the Young to take a full
load from Harrisburg to Corvallis on
any stage of water that the larger boats
can reach Corvallis. As it is, the
Young is bringing down thirty-five to
fifty tons at a trip. In speaking of
the accident to the Young's wheel,
Captain Dove says it isn't necessary to
go out on the land to find stump to
bump the wheel against; there are
plenty right in the channel. She was
only laid up for repairs one day."

AN MACHINE.
Sent to Coy. Flower, of New York. b
Some Unknown Miscreant.

Sent to Coy. Flower, of New York. by
Some Unknown Miscreant.
New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE life of Gov.
Flower has been threatened by an Internal
machine sent to the Winter hotel q couple
of days ago. Police officials are very reti-
cent over the affair. but q large number OF
detectives are working on the case. A box
was sent Flower by mail, but he being ab-
sent, it was not touched for a couple OF
days. When the wrapper was taken off the
was deemed best to turn it over to the
police. The inspector, after soaking the
box in water for two hours, raised the lid
and discover ed within a cigar box filled
with giant powder and matches. so ar
ranged that if the box were opened under
ordinary circumstances it would have ex.
ploded. The deadly machine contained
enough giant powder to have blown the
governor into eternity.
1t is said a letter was received by Flower
before the package was left at the hotel,
box and implying that an attempt would
be made on his life. This aroused sus-
picion when the box was received. There
was great activity at the detective bureau
this morning. The inspector would not
admit anything in connection with the in
formal machine. He claimed the box CON-
tanned nothing but seed oysters. hence there
WAS no mystery connected with it.
Chief Inspector Stears, at a late hour this
afternoon. sent for reporters at police head
quarters and told them that tile box was a
ingeniously contrtved to kill the governor.
or whoever might open it.. 1t was not
mailed in the postoffice, but left CD q lamp

WHEN the question OF the location OF
the various state institutions is deter
mined, as it will be next winter, it the
capital controversy is settled in Novem-
Der, vast endowments Of land, the gift
OF the general government, will become
Immediately available. In the discus
sion over the capital, which is Of minor
Importance after all, many OF our citi-
zens have lost sight Of the advantages
the state will reap from gaining possess
sion OF these lands. just consider for a
moment that the agricultural college,
besides the gift Of money direct from
the general government will get $4,000
acres; the state. normal school 100000
acres; the school of mines 100000 acres;
the state reform school $4,000 acres; the
deaf and dumb asylum $4,000 acres.
What folly it will be if our people keep
themselves out Of this vast heritage, a
source Of such great wealth and pros
perity, to engage in a protraoted wran-
gle as to whether the capital should be
removed from Helena to some other
point. Let US have all these matters
disposed of In the next six months, in
order that Montana may take worthy
rank in the sisterhood of states, and re-
O herself from a territorial condi-
ton

THA real estate revival which started
in New York a few months ago has
reached many Of the western towns.
Our Spokane exchanges bristls with the
advertisements OF the wide awake real
estate men Of that enterprising city,
and other cities Of tho northwest show
the Same symptoms. Denver especially
shows all the signs Of a genuine boom.
Last Saturday the transactions in that
city reached nearly a million dollars.
One transfer was for $4,000 to 9 Mil
waukee syndicate and another was
for $4,000 for manufacture
ing plant. In addition to this
an eastern syndicate secured an
option on q large tract Of land at $780,
900. During the week there were l72
conveyances. Time and again it has
been predicted that Denver had reached
the end Of q period Of rapid growth,
but the unlimited confidence of the
pushing and progressive citizens Of the
town has overcome all obstacles and
convinced outsiders to the contrary.
Would that Helena had more OF the
Denver spirit!

The San Francisco Chronicle saws
that Sin twenty-slx republican states
the average rate of wages is S1.33 per
per day, while in eighteen democratic
states it is 81 cents per day. A higher
rate Of wages in the republican states is
not because the people are republicans
but because manufacturing industries
save peer prospered in them" In the
first place there are not twenty-six re-
publican states, but, it there were, no
such inference could be drawn as the
Chronicle suggests. The highest wages
are paid in states like Montana, Idaho,
Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and Nevada,
in which there is no manufacturing,
The lowest wage s are paid in mani
featuring states like Massachusetts and
Rhode Island.

If we had wooden mills in Montana
they would make a home market for
u wool growers and increase the value
Of their product. But their establish
ment would be a hazardous experiment
under present conditions. Very few ar
ticles could be made from the Montana
wool alone. Foreign wool, different in
iiber from that grown here, is necessary
to blend with it. It cannot be SUCCESS
fully imported and transported a long
distance inland owing to the %exorbitant
tariff tax imposed by the Mckinley bill.
Were that tax removed it would not be
long before w should have a prosper
GUS wooden mill on every water power

The Salt Lake Tribune concurs in
the opinion OF The INDEPENDENT that
it free coinage Of silver is to be secured
the question must be Invested OF Sec
tlonalism and votes enlisted for it in the
east as we'll as in the west. It believes
that if the silver conference which
meets in Salt Lake in December would
select a hundred gifted men for a cam
paign OF n hundred nights through
out the east, the farmers and mechanics
OF that region "would understand why
they had been so oppressed for ten or
twelve years with hard times, what the
cause has been and what the remedy
ought to be-" The Tribune is quite
right in saying that in the heat of the
campaign there is not much use in at-
tempting to have the cool and dispas-
sionate discussions that this great oues-
ton requires for it's correct understand
ing.

Coroner Rockman held an inquest yester-
day on the body Of Michael Farrell, the

testimony was to the effect that when Mr..

neighbo:s were summoned and the usual
remedies in such cases we're sought to he
applied pending tho doctors arrival. Mr..
Farrell refused to take them and to one of
the witnesses who old him he would be
dead in an hour unless he did, no replied
that that was just whst he wanted. He
also told some of those present that hs
knew what he had lone and that he had

verdict of the jury was death from an over
dose of laudanum administered by his own
hands with suicidal intent.

hint to the Muscular about getting
men from Helena to work here when
the capital question comes up, gave this
town (Anaconda) a tip that ought to be
valuable" There is one trifling obsta-
ole in the way Of this scheme. There is
no unemployed labor in Helena.
