Tn tho police court last Saturday after
noon Frank Williamson contributed ten
dollars to the city's exchequer in eonlpli-
ance with the request of Police Judge
Porter. 1t appca:s that "Pasco'' and one
Bridgefarmer had Il difficulty in The 0. G.
s. E. depot resulting in the exchange of
some abuse and the engendering Of some
i'll feeling. Friday evening as Bridge
farmer was returning to the depot with
some purchases in his arms he was met by
Williamson who informed him that an
apology was due. As reply to the
inquiry what it was for, Williamson dealt
Bridgefarmer three blows on the head in
quick succession that dazcd the latter. A
short scuffle ensued, and the assailant
escaped. For this ho was arrested and
plead guilty. He In turn had Bridge
farmer arrastAd Or s5i using obscene langua Q
and another ten dollar. dropped into the
city's Golfers. This is the second time
within month the same defendant has
contributed ten dollars to the municipality.
If this business is TO keep up we may
hope for reduction Of taxes next year.

CORVALLIS OPPORTUNITY.

The battleship "Oregon" will SOON be
commissioned. The other battleships
have been presented with some suitable
gift by the citizens of the states after
which the ships were named, IN appreci
alton of the honor, The committee ap-
pointed by Governor Lord to raise funds
for memorial to the 'Oregon" have
delayed the matter as long as possible on
account of the scarcity of mouey. 1t is
important now that the necessary amount
be speedily collected, if Oregon is not to
lay behind her sister states, that have
had like honor conferred upon them.
The state has been districted and com
mitteenlan appointed to solicit funds in
each district. Hon. c. H. Dodd has
Portland in his charge and he reports
about s., 900 collected. Other towns are
doing well with the work, but in Corval-
lis, where the federal government ex-
pends some $4,000 per year, there has as
yet been nothing done. The committee
has appointed B. W. Johnson to take
charge of this district, and he is ready to
receipt for subscriptions. The object is
to raise the money by popular subscrip-
ton. Any amount from FIVE cents up
will be received. The citizens will be
waited upon this week and given an op-
portunity to subscribe. Those who are
not at home when the subscription list
J ,c.,,ae orourd at1d xE1,o pyicf1 fO acquire a
personal interest in this gift to one of the
finest battleships in the American navy,
may leave the amount they desire to
subscribe at the GAZETTE Office The
committee desires to get the money to-
gether by the 18th of February.

WOES OF THE NORTHUMBERLAND.

''He that was treated is name given
Geo. limerick by some of his friends lately.
About O'Clock the other morning, as the
nightwatehman was going his solitary
rounds, he was accosted by stranger,
well dressed, but somewhat rcdolcnt Of the
odor of Kentucky milk. The stranger
paused to enquire where he could procure a
dish of oysters. He was informed by the
accommodating policeman that everything
was closed up. However," continued
/ George. II have the key to the Royal res
taurant and win let you have dish" So
both repaired to the cafe, and the stranger
insisted upon the policeman partaking of
the luscious bivalves with him. which invi-
! tatlon was accepted. One dish failed to
satify the strangers oyster appetite and he
called for another round, again begging
George to assist HIN, and George did. His
found friend was talkative and enter
tanning, and seemed to be hurt by the
| niaktwatchman' s. reluctance TO impose upon
his liberality. The second lot went the way
of all fesh-pots and still the stranger was
hungry. George wasn't, but the generous
customer of the Royal so pathcticaliy
appealed to the kindly instincts of the
officer, and 80 skilIfully pictured the woes
Of fortune tossed creature forced to chew
in dreary Loneliness, that the tender hearted
policeman succumed and accepted the third
invitation, forcing the shellfsh down by
stern exercise of will power. The lover Of
oysters and company, then announced the
complete satisfaction of his hunger and de-
sired to know the amount of damage he had
inflicted upon the house. ''Onc dollar and
fifty cents" replied his caterer and guest.
"What! A dollar and a half for three dishes
of oysters ?'' Asked the stranger in peined
surprise. '.Wghad six Dishes" explained
the troubled guardian of the city's safety.
I'VE! We! Ard. what have I got to do with
we? II the city Of Corvallis cannot afsrd
to feed its officers. you must not expect visi-
tors to do 1t. There's six bits for my share.
You must rcmcmber you are dealing with
gentleman. I'm no suckcr;' and the strang
er planked down his three quarters and
Indignantly left the house. "This Missouri
treating may be all right said George, as
he duplicated the strangers coin and gave
them to Maddux next morning, abut it really
ought to be voluntary, don't you know"

An Advance In Wheat.

A sharp advance in the price
of wheat during the past week
has had the efectof making bus
mess lively about the mills and
warehouses. A representative of
the Portland FIGURING Mills Com
pany arrived iii town the latter
part of last week and made a fat
offer &c cents per bushel delivered
on board the boat. This price
included storage, sacks and the
expense of delivering, amounted
to s "a cents, leaving the net price
54h cents. The mills and ware
housesmen met this price, and, as
a result about IS, 900 bushels were
sold in Corvallis since the raise.
Of this amount Mr.. Heron
bought pool of 5000 bushels
stored in the Finley warehouse
near Monroe, owned by c. Ziero1 f,
H. M. Finley, Hugh Heron and
Philip Phile. The Benton Mills
purchased one lot of 5000 BUSH
els, another of 5000 bushels and
several smaller lots, making total
bought by that firm at the pres
ent price, about II, 900 bushels:
The Corvallis Mills bought 5000
bushels of jesse Porter, Tuesday,
and with several smaller lots pur-
chased since the advance has
reduced the surplus of unsold
wheat fully II, 900 bushels. The
warehousemen met the offers
made by the mills and purchased
some 5000 bushels, of which
amount Thos. Samuels took over
5000 bushels. Something over
900, 900 bushels of wheat were
stored in the Corvallis mills and
warehouses last fall, and of this
vast amount there remains un-
sold not to exceed 80, 900 or 35-
900 bushels. The bulk of it
was disposed of early in the fall
at 46 cents. The market yester-
day was weaker with downward
tendency, and some think it will
not go higher. Others, however,
are still holding their grain in
anticipation of further advances.

Reducing Expenses.

Numerous changes, looking
toward the reduction of expen-
! ditrres on the Oregon Central &
Eastern, is the result of Presi-
dent Hanlmond's recent visit.
Since the confirmation of the
sale Of the property to Messrs.
Bonner & Hammond, large
sum has been expended in better
ments, until now the bridges,
rolling stock and road bed are in
hrst-closs condition. Now, since
no further repairs are needed, it
lis Mr., Hammond's plan to reduce
operating expenscs to a mini
mum. To this end, bridge car
penter aud several Of the section
! gangs have been paid off, and a
reduction of the force III the gen
era1 office has been made.
J. R. Abbey, heretofore train
dispatcher, has been made local
agent. A. R. Chapman and
John Adams have been releaved
for the present at least, and all
the duties of the general Office
fall upon Manager Stone and Su-
perintendent Clark, assisted by
j. c. Mayo, who will also look
after the cotnpany's freight and
passenger business along the line,
1t was the intention at first to re-
lieve Agent Harry Walden at
Albany and appoint A. r. Chap
man, formerly of the auditors S
office, to the vacancy, but Mana
ger Stone said yesterday that Mr..
Walden would be retained.
Of late the 0. R. d N. Co.
has been encroaching upon the
o. c. & E.'s field and the effect
has been to reduce considerably
the 1atter's traffic. Said a prom
inent Corvallis business man yes
terday, "With rates the same the
70. G. & 3. is entitled to all the
business of this section. OF
course, it is to be regretted that
the company has found it neces-
sary to make such radical changes
In order to bring its expenses
within its earnings. The effect
,, will be felt all along the line, but
! particularly in Albany and Cor
Wallis, where the employees of
the road do their trading. But
the shippers of Albany and Cor
wallis are largely responsible for
this looping off of expenses. A
large percentage of the valley
traffic, which the o. c. & E. is
rightfully entitled to, has been
given to the O. R. & N. Co.
There is of course no law against
patronizing a foreign corporation
which spends its money else

business -ense ought to prompt
valley shippers to patronize the

force in the development of the
middle Willamette valley. There
cannot be very much hope oi
branch lines being built by the
10. c. & E. to Eugene and Salem
so long as the merchants of AL
bany, Corvallis, Eugene and Sa-
lem give their San Francisco
business to other competing
lines. ,,
