The balance due Benton county
from Lincoln on account of the
division of accounts made necessary
by the creation out Of old Benton of
Lincoln county has at last been
settled. The amount was $4,000,
and it fell to Benton as the result
OF a segregation of taxes made by
Judge Nudge Hufford for Benton
and ]. d. DAILY for Lincoln three or
four years ago. Recently the Lin
coin county commissioners court
declared that the amount was not
owing to Benton, and a pronuncia-
mento to that effect promulgated by
the Lincoln county judge appeared
in the Toledo LEADER. The court
has, however, back tracked and the
warrant for the amount is now in
the hands of County Treasurer
Buchanan. Corvallis Times '.
The Times is mistaken. Judge
Stearns never promulgated"
against the allowance of the above
bill in the LEADER, nor was the
bill ever disallowed. Itwas simply
continued. We would give the
Tines tounderstand that our county
court never "backs down" If it
ever does anything it backs up"
In fact it seems to be in a chronic
state Of "back up" and no dis.
respect is meant to the court, either.

Where is Our Expert?
CITIZEN.

1t begins to look almost as il
Lincoln county had either lost or
mislaid its expert. He left for
Portland some three weeks ago,
and left the impression at his hotel
that he would return, but he has
not yet done SO. When the court
met al its recent session it was
expected that the report of the
expert would be filed in time for
consideration at that term, or that
the expert would himself be present.
But whatever expectations were
nursed by the county officers were
doomed to disappointment, as
neither the expert nor his report
materialized. What has become of
the expert and his report is still
mystery that the keenest reporter
on the LEADER staff is unable to
fathom. II is a surmise in our
mind however, that Judge Stearns'
trip to Portland might have been
caused by the non-appearance of
the expert and his report. There
is a possibility of an excellent Item
yet appearing in this matter, and it
may be entirely contrary to what
the people are expecting.

FREE ALCOHOL IN THE ARTS.
No Chance for 1t SO Long ss There
is q IreasurY Deficit

There is no possible show for the pa Ssa gs
of the bill Ifoviding for the use Of free
alcohol in the arts and sciences. The re-
port OF the committee which has been
Investigating this subject all summer
submitted its report TO the Senate, to-
gether with the vulumiuous testimony that
has been taken.
The committee, Mr.. Platt, Of Connecticut,
chairman Of the Joint committee, said,
could agree upon but one thing, and that
seemed To be the essential, that there was
No possibility Of Passing such Iegisla ton
so long as the revenues were III their pres
ent condition Mr.. PIatt gave the SeAase
to understand that it would be folly TO
try to DO anything that would reduce the
revenues So long a : the receipts did not
equal the expenditures.
The bill VIII create a defiCit-shOu.d it
pasS-of SIO,GOO,o0O, and this is not the
time TO create more deficit. The chief
worry Of the Treasury Department is to
find more revenue, not to increase She
deficit, so that there appears TO be a
great deal Of force in what Mr.. PIatt SAYS.
The debate caused some sarcastic pas
sageS between Mr.. Chandler, who naturally
loves a scrap, and Mr.. Hale who is Lot
averse 70 indulgtug in sarcasm and bitter
repartee. Mr. Hoar, who is the chief
promoter of free alcohol in the arts, be-
cause his section of the country is the
largest consumer thought the bill ought
to pass, and he suggested that the deficit
could be made good by increasing the FAX
on beer one-half dollar d barrel.
Mr. Hnar was flank eROughto admit. how
ever, that this could not be done, and as
| serted as the reason the political power
Of the brewers OF the country. There was
| also a reference to the proposition, which
has been suggested in some quarters, 10
reduce the tax on whisky 20 20 cents a
gallon, but the short discussion along
that line showed very clearly that such
a proposition wohld not meet with favor
among Republican leaders. Finally the
subject went over without action.

Interest in Personal Property.

Interest in Personal Property.
B. F. Geyer, the IEeryman, who has been
In Jail since November ,, for refusing
to paw alimony to mis- wife. Annie Y .Geyer,
during the per dency or her suit for divorce
was released yesterday upon an order
of Judge Hagner.
Mrs. Geyer brought suit against her hus-
band last May on the grounds OF inndelity.
The court ordered Geye5 10 pay alimony IN
the sum of S75 per month until the case
should be decided, but he only made two
payments He was several payments in
arrears last October, and upon his con-
tinued refusal to pay the amount, the
court ren.aUded him to Jail. BIS attorneys
pleaded that S75 was more than Cieyer
was able topay :, but he was adiudged guilty
OF contempt and sent down on the second
OF last month.
Since that time Geyer's attorneys have
made strenuous efforts to secure his re-
lease, and trey succeeded yesterday in
securing the order for his release from
Judge HagneT, upon condition, stipulated
in the order for release, chat Geyer turn
over to- his wife his interest IN the personal
property now in the house occupied by
Mrs Geyer. The order also stated that
it has not been shown To the satisfaction
OF the court that Geyer is unable to pay
the amount of alImony allowed by the
court.

Sandy Hook when big guns are being

made with the aid of new instruments.
A system of electric wires and magnets
is used, the shot passing through the

tons of mineral poisons have been en-
ployed during the past decade by farm
ers throughout the country, whether to
protect the potato crop, or cotton crop,
or other products of the soil, from the
ruinous attacks of insects. The gen
eral experience during this long Pc
Rod, and over the whole cSuntry, is so
emphatically in favor of their use and
their perfect safety and harmlessness,

almost laughable the objections of the
few persons who object to them. No
advancement, no improvement, no gen.

accomplished without some attendant

such improvement as increasing the

Some people do not appreciate the
distinction between good and bad de-
signing. When they buy or build
houses they try to equal or excel the
dwellings of their neighbors, and are
quite satisfied with the fashionable
crudities so often repeated, It is a
natural propensity in most of us to
strive to get as much as possible for our
money, and in house building, perhaps
more than in any other undertaking,
are found opportunities to judiciously
spend or waste money. To people OF

that devolved upon him. How they did

one takes part in in all social affairs.
Some persons, have fanced, or used
to fancy, wrongfully believed this to
be due to certain contempt of fash

this. My father, as I know, realized
that such matters were necessity to

PAPER RAILROAD RAILS.

Their Composition Includes Several
Kinds of Pulp Stock.
American manufacturers, encouraged
by the fact that paper railroad rails
have been successfully introduced in
Germany and Russia, are experimenting
along the same lines. Paper car wheels
have given satisfaction for many YEARS.
and results so far attained indicate that
tails made from the same material will
be equally desirable. Metal rails are
always more or less affected by atmos-
pheric conditions, and accidents are fire.
quently due to warping, expansion OF
contraction of rails. Heavy rolling
stock requires extraordinarily large and
heavy rails, and they cannot be made
very long, or their weight would be too
much. Paper rails are less than one
half lighter for the same length and size,
hence the length can be twice that of an
iron or steel rail. This obviates the use
of so many bolts and connections, and
relieves the wheels of just so many
shocks.
The composition includes several va.
rieties of paper pulp stock. Wood pulp
has not been tried with any marked
success as yet. Care is taken to have
the stock uniform in preparation, and
the fbers well preserved. Quantities
of borax, paraffin wax, tanners grease,
waterproof fish glue, rosin and fine
cement are added. in necessary proper.

cent. less than that of steel.-Chicago
