time it was feared that he would
not recover, Prompt medical ap-
planes finally restored him, and
today he is feeling much better.
Owing to Our foreman, typo and
devil combined suffering a severe
attack of the big jaw, which knock
ed him out for a few days this
week, we are unavoidably one day
late.
Work closed down at the govern
ment rock quarry yesterday. The
affairs at the quarry are being put
in ship-shape manner where they
will stay until another appropria-
ton IS made to enable the work to
go forward.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Bethers will
start for Portland tomorrow to take
their little daughter Cecil to have
her hearing examined by specialist
of that city. The child had a
severe spell of fever when quite
small and since then her organs of
hearing has been affected. It is to
be sincerely hoped that the affection
IS only temporary, and that a cure
may be speedily effected.
At the special school meeting
held last Saturday at the school
house there was liberal attendance
Of the patrons of the district. The
financial condition Of the district
was pretty thoroughly discussed,
and by reason Of such discussion
has become much better known and
understood by the taxpayers, and
it was also made plain that the con-
dition of the district was not so bad
as had been rumored. After due
discussion a committee of five com.
posed of DR.. Rich, w. c. Copeland, |
A. ]. RAIDER, Lester Waugh and |
Austin Rosebrooks was appointed |
to make an estimate of the amount
OF levy necessary to pay up the
Indebtedness and to make provision
for some school. The committee
recommended five mill tax for
these purposes, which tax was vot-
ed by thiry-live for and five against.
This tax, when collected, will pay |
off all the floating debt of the dis
trict and the funds coming into the
district treasury will, it is believed, |
be sufficient to maintain a good |
school for reasonable time each
year.
'"The editor OF the LINCOLN
COUNTY LEADER is trying hard to
make an ass of himself by contin-
ually making absurd statements
about the bank failure and the Ben
ton county funds. If Mr.. Stewart
had ever been a resident of this
county, his statements might have
carried with them more weight, for
some people might have imagined
he knew what he was talking about,
as it is, he is hardly worth contra
dieting. He is not honest In his
assertions and Is only bowling to
attract attention.-Corvallis News,
We can only say that no one has
ever accused editor Pape, of the
Corvallis 'gimlet', during the past
several years, OF trying to make an
ass OF himself, as everyone knows
that the job has been thoroughly
for some time. AS far
rs the statements of the I.EApER
concerning the bank failure and
the county funds are concerned,
they have been universally true,
and only appear absurd to such
men as Pape, who cannot under
stand how q paper can have the
moral courage to fight men and
rings with money and influence.
To accuse the editor of the "gim-
et' of continually being in the
market with his paper to the high
,st bidder, would only be to reiter-
'te a charge that has been made so
'Iten in the counties of Benton and
Lincoln that 1t now goes without
dispute. No wonder the attitude
VI the LEADER appears absurd to
iuch a man.
