The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1895-05-02

This week a gentleman from Monroe
called on the sheriff with the intention of
paving his taxes On looking over the roll
it was found that the name OF the gentle
man did not appear thereon. He insisted,
however, upon paying taxes, and claimed
to be possessed of property equal In value
TO that upon which he was assessed the pre-
yious wear. The amount found to be due
on such valuation was $l4 Upon handing
the sheriff SIS that official wrote a receipt
for the an cunt due and returned the bal
ance-1ne dollar The gentlem IN from
Monroe was vet uns,tisfied. He wished to
settle his poll tax as well. so passed the
dollar back again to the sheriff, and de-
manded receipt. The name of this hon
est taxpayer is withheld for fear that if his
uuheard of proceeding becomes public his
friends might believe him suffering from
temporary mental arrangement and would
insist upon his immediate deportation to
Salem.
THE GAZETTE came near having an inte r.
9 ting time two weeks ago. Through the
efforts of the actors in the drama the
Corvallis newspaper reporters were thrown
off the scent, and it was but recently that
a GAZETTE reporter got wind of an accident
that happened to three Masonic gentlemen
who attended Knight Templar meet
ing at Albany two weeks ago
last Saturday night. As the participants
are evidently adverse to newspaper notori-
ETY., their names will be withheld. They
might have been w. T. Peet, Joseph Ber-
gin and II, R. Clark. but then again they
might not, and the dear readers will be left
in this state of suspense. The details of
the affair are safely locked within the bosems
of the actors and it is only known that they
arrived in Corvallis by pedal locomotion,
footsore, wild and vengeful. The gentle
men whose names are withheld are all tenn.
perate and are not reduced financially to
tho nc cessity of walking, and the state of
the road was not conducive to pleasurabls
pedestranism and their friends at loss
20 account for their actious 1t is limited
that they are not record breakers as ribbon

FRUIT GROWERS ORGANIZE.

Pursuant to adjournment number of
prominent local fruit growers met at the
court house last Saturday afternoon and
perfected perm anent organization. A COM
mittee had been appointed, at called meet
ing held month previously, to draft con-
stitution and by laws, and their report was
unanimously adopted. The organization is
to be known as the Central Willamette
Fruit Union" with headquarters at Corval
lis, and its object, as set forth in the by
laws, is to facilitate the marketing of green
and dried fruits, and to keep its members
possible in placing their product in the best
markets. 1t will probably be the intention
to include in its membership. all growers
residing in Linn. Polk, Benton, Lincoln and
perhaps Lane counties. Under the by laws
the membership will be confined to actual
fruit growers, who may become members
upon the payment of $l.00. Upon adopt
| ing the committees report the union pro-
ceeded with the election of officers for the
ensuing year. Prof. E. R. Lake was chosen
f. P. Sheasgreen. secretary treasurer, and
Samuel McLain, member of the finance
committee, which includes the president
and secretary-treasurer. Regular monthly
meetings are to be held the third Saturday
in each month at the courthouse and all hor
ticulturists are earnestly solicited to becom,
identified with the organization. AT it
next meeting the subject of 'evaporators
will be discussed, led by Mr.. A. M. Finle.
who is we'll known as one of the most expert
enced growers in the county.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The punishment of vice anil the reward
of virtue are the watchwords ot the really
good performances now running at the Opera
House. There is ever public for the best
plays of yesterday, and, as Mr. Pay ton has
shown excsIent jud .ment in selecting his
repertoire from the brightest and best pro-
ductions of late years, and intrusted the in
terpretation of the lines to very capable per-
formers, he Justly deserves better patron
age than he has thus far received.
Mr.. Payton is an excellent actor; he is
capable of effects at once powerful and fine;
but his make ups are mighty adjuncts to
his artistic resources. As the Noble Ou5-
cast. he fairly gets inside the character aud
he plays the part with smoothness and
finish that charms Ivy its naturalness AS
Dan McGinty, in the "Gold King, . he is
the most eccentric and yet realistie lrishman
that ever trod the stage. The best thing
about his impersonation is its utter aesurd-
itv. That is what makes it SO funny. But
he goes so far that, on the principle that
extremes meat, he actually approaches real
ity. Mr.. Payton is the only actor, In the
trua sense. in the company, yet the perform
ances in their entirety are pleasing exhibi
tious of earnest and intelligent effort on the
n,rt of all the actors engaged in their pre-
sentation.
In business way, the managers are pleas
ant gentlemen to dealiwlth, and the troupe
as a whole, accommodating and courteous.
| We recommend the company to our people.

HI LICK ESTATE.

Trustees Get q Million and q Half More
Than Anticipated for 1t.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-Within q
few weeks the board Of trustees who
have managed the Lick estate since the
decease of the pioneer will ask the SUI
perior court to approve their accounts
and discharge them from further duty.
The board handled millions Of dollars
left by the pioneer, and now that all be-
quests have been settled they wish to be
absolved from further duty.
James Lick left almost all his money
for educational purposes, the Lick
observatory and the Lick school of me
chanical arts being the two most inn
portant requests.
When James Lick's son was cOmprO-
missed with ifor $3.50. 900 in 1878, the
trustees estimated that the estate would
fail to carry out all the legacies by
$500, 600. Accumulated interest and in.
creased values during SO many years has
given increased money for every be.
quest, and left a surplus Of over g..
OOO, 900.

Marriage Certificate Defective.

NEW YORK, March 6.-The board of
health refused to record the marriage
certificate of Anna Gould and Count
Castellane OH the ground that it was
defective in a vital point. All informa-
ton as to the matter is refused by the
board of health, the president saying
that as it liz in the discretion of the
board, they will not make the record
public without the permission of the
family. It is said the cause for the
boards action is that no date was given
in the certificate.

sNcLANo,s POSTAL TELEGRAPH.

IL II Regarded - = Very Good Investmsst.
Increase, in the Service.
WASHINGTON, March GA sketch
showing the great development OF the
telegraph in Great Britain since It
passed under government control in
1870, as q result of Gladstone's efforts,
Is given in a report to the state depart
ment from United States Consular Clerk
Martin, at Southampton. He shows
that all Of the separate companies lines
were taken by the government in 1870
for Ell, 900, 600 and that in the year sue
ceeding, the government built $4,000
miles Of wire to connect the various
systems.
An Illustration of Results.
As an illustration OF the results Of
their policy. the reports show that while
in 1870. the total number Of kilograms
handled weekly by all Offices was esti
mated at from 1913, 900 to 2l5, 900, in
1898 the total exceeded LOO, 900 and
the number sent annually ex-
ceeded 20, Zoo, 900. In 1860 the English
press service was 20, zoo, 900 words. Now
it amounts to 600, OOO, 900, SO times more
than formerly. The present press rate
is absurdly small as compared with the
tariff prior to 1870, and in place Of send.
ing 70 words per minute one way, the
wires now carry 500 words a minute,
and six messages r sent stimuli
taneously ON n wire. This service il
performed with perfect punctuality, the
average time Of transmission Of a mes.
sage being about Z or 9 minutes, a
against 2 or 3 hours in 1862 The rate
is IL cents for IL words, paid in stamps.
1t is not possible to tell the amount
turned into the treasury by the tele
graph service because of it's combination
with the postal service, but the English
government does not regard it as
means of helping trade and informing
the public.
