Three hundred and seventy-four
out of 3S2 private and state banks
of Kansas have made their report
to Bank Commissioner J. w. Bried-
enthal, and they have verified his
prophecy that the increase in de-
posits would amount to 81, 100000.
This is an increase over last year of
45 per cent. Mr.. BriedenthaI at
tributes it to the wonderful cleaning
up of private Indebtedness under
the squeeze of money-loaners DUR
ing the past five years, thus leaving
the people with surplus when their
stupendous crop was marketed.
The national bank reports have
not yet been made, but it is esti,
mated they will show an increase of
$4,000, 900, making the entire in
crease in deposits nearly $1O,OOO,-
600. The entire deposits of the
state are estimated at $42,OOO,OOO,
which means $50 per capita in
available cash, a condition unprece-
dented.

In answer to President McKin-

special note to Minister Woodford
declares that she has done all in her
power to end the war in Cuba, and
adds that Spain will not admit the
right to interfere in any of her
affairs. The tone of bluster has
entirely disappeared and instead of
talking war Spain now wants to be
friendly.

What the NeighbOrs Say.

Corvallis takes the lead in esca-
pades. 1t is rare week that goes
by without sensation of some
kind"
The above is from the Albany
Democrat and is the mildest of
many similar notices we are getting
just now in the valley newspapers
and they cannot be answered, for it
is based on information sent out
from this town. Our two old news
papers here are run by men who
never had any newspaper expert
ence until they took charge of the
papers they now control. They
took the Police Gazette for their
standard of what live newspaper
should be, so they hunt up aid
elaborate every little sin in the
community in which they live and
print it with scare heads and every
other accessory within the law to
make it look as bad as possible.
This is what they call newspaper
enterprise, and they have both tried
to run over each other in their
efforts to injure the character Of
the community in which they live,
and to blacken the character of
some unfortunate man or woman
too weak to resent it. The truth is
Corvallis is a moral little town;
none more so in the valley We
have been resident of the town
and county for twenty years and
know whereof we speak when we
say, that there is not a town in Ore
gon of the same number of inhabi-
tants where there is less crime, gam.
bling or drunkenness than our own
town. We have saloons here but
they are kept by respectable men
who value their character and obey
the law Add to this that every
good influence for the guidance of
youth, and the reclaiming of those
who have erred and fallen is in
strong evidence on every hand. It
will hardly be denied that every
community has its weak and bois-
terous members and even its crimi-
nails; we also have our weak ones
but not more than our share, and if
there are any criminals here we
don't know it. The people of this
town should vigorously protest
against being advertised abroad as
the worst town in the state and the
i'll name we are getting should be
fastened where it belongs on the two
old papers here. 1t is a dirty bird
that fouls its own nest.

Sunday morning by which thirty
lives were lost. The train from
Buffalo for Albany run off the track
and the engine, smoking car, day

cars were rolled into the Hudson

left three sleeping cars on the track

J. R. Burton, of Kansas, who re-
Gently addressed the Marquette club
of Chicago, voiced the spirit that
has dominated and still dominates
western progress, when he said:
s'The corner stones of the mighty
political fabric building here in the
western world are the education Of
the youth, the perfection of life, the
right of private property, and the
equality of every citizen before the
law" There are those who still
hold conservative views about the
education of the youth and would
wipe out all the public institutions
OF learning except the common
schools; there are sections of coun.
try where human life is not very
sacredly regarded during political
times; there are others who still
deny the rights of others to enjoy
the fruits of their industry and pru-
dence; and the main corner stone,
equality of men before the law,
seems slow to rise; but the temple
is surely building and upon this
foundation the mightiest nation the
world has ever seen is resting in it's
maiesty.-Yamhill Reporter.

Supreme Court Decision.

George A. Lands, appellent, VS. Lin
eoln county ct al, respondents; appeal
from Lincoln county; J. G. Fullerton,
judge; opinion by Wolverton, j.; af-
firmed.
This is a proceeding by mandamus,
instituted by the sheriff of Lincoln county
to compel tile county court of Lincoln
county to audit and allow his CLAIM for
services, amounting to $666.66. There
was a demurrer to the alternative writ,
which being overruled, judgment was
rendered against plaintiff, dismissing the
action from which he appealed. The sole
question in this case is construction to be
given the following clause contained in
an act entitled can act to create the
county of Lincoln, and to fix the salaries
of county judge and the treasurer there
Of" viz:
''The sheriff and county clerk of said
county shall receive the same fees as are
now allowed the sheriff and county clerk
of Benton county"
By an act of the legislature, passed in
1898, there was established a salary for
the sheriff and clerk of every other coun-
ty in the state, except Lincoln. The
words of the Lincoln county act, viz,
'sthe same fees as are now allowed by
law" are Of controlling significance, the
supreme court says Therefore, the act
of 1898 does not affect the sheriff of Lin
coin county, and, accordingly, the judg-
ment of the lower court is affirmed

Yaouina Harhor.

A petition is being circulated through
out the willamette valley to be presented
to our delegation in congress asking for
immediate action on the appropriation
for the further improvement of Yaqulna
Bay. 1t will be signed by every farmer
and merchant in the valley who gets
chance to sign it, for there is no PROPOSE
tion that can come before them that is of
as much Importance. Shut off the
Yaquina harbor and the O. c.. & E. rail-
road and The price Of wheat will fall sew
eral cents bushel while the freight on
imports will be increased to the valley
merchants twenty-five per cent. The
government has spent about $750,000 on
Yaquina harbor and unless the work is
completed, as outlined by the last board
of engineers who examined it, this money
has been wasted. 1t is true that the har-
Dor is benefited but the work is not fin
ished. Although the estimate for finish
ing the work was a million dollars and
congress passed bill authorizing the ex-
penditure OF that sum, yet it is believed
that it can be finished by contract for
very much less. 1t is earnestly hoped
by every resident in the Willamette val
ley that our delegation may be successful
in impressing on the secretary of war the
necessity for ordering the contract at
once

organize party of five, to start for the
Yukon in the spring. Mr.. Booth has a
steam launch in course of construction,

people here who will join him. He pro.
poses to ship the launch to St. Michaels,
and use it to carry the outfit up the river.
William Dixon, the venerable pioneer,
lies dangerously i'll at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Barber, IN this city. At
the advanced age of S6 years there is
hardly a probability of his recovery. Mr.
Dixon came to Corvallis in 1845 and
located the north end of Corvallis, his
claim extending north from about the CEN
ter of the town. He is an industrious,
upright, honest man, and last year earned
5000 gardening in the town. We hope
he may recover but fear that the chances
are against him.
Among the political aggregations
in Oregon at present, the gold stand
ard democrats are holding the most
enviable position. They are not in
the ring stripped to the waist, fight
ing for spoils, neither are they dig
ging up the musty records of the
past to find a clean issue still alive
to harness their party to. They
are standing by watching the move
ments of the other parties and fac
tions and when the time comes they
will probably vote as they did be-
fore for sound money and good gov
ernment.
