THE Newlands papers ridiculed
the idea that Senator Stewart
favored the Nicaragua canal. Yet,
when Morgan's canal hill was put
on its final passage, Senator Stew
art stood paired in favor of the bill
with Senator Pettigrew, who OPP
posed it. There are some men who
will not believe that they are alive
until it is proven to them; even then
they are doubtful about the fact.

The Legislature has failed to re-
peal the obnoxious purity of election
law. McGowan's bill WAS beaten
Wednesday by vote of Is to IA.
Why legislator who has gone
through the recent campaign wants
to vote to keep such law on the
Statutes is beyond our comprehen
sion.

1T is nonsense to suppose that the
gold standard of finance is being
taught at the Reno University.
Prof. Robert Levers is the teacher
of political economy at the Uuiver-
sity. He was formerly Principal OF
the Dayton public schools, and un-
less he has changed greatly in his
belief since leaving this place, he is
as ardent free coinage man as
there is in the State. This is prob
ably another scheme of the Nevada
gold bugs to make it appear that
the Silver Party is antagonistic to
the University. The work is too
stringy.

CoMINs' bill, fixing the State tax
levy at 81 on the 800 for all tax
able property, including mines and
mining claims, and distributing the
same to the proper funds, has passed
the Senate and House. We believe
there is no necessity of raising the
State rate this year. Comins is a
very smooth article. He is IA rene
gade silver man. and will lead the
party into many IA trap if he is not
closely watched. There is no high
priced legislation he will not favor.
He was one of the advocates of the
Kelley Cure steal some years ago,
and if our memory is not defective
aided the poll tax bill to become a
law.

MORE ABOUT GOATS.

It has been generally known for num-
Der of years that Western Oregon is well
adapted for the raising of Angora goats,
and the climate, rainfall and pasturage
form the combination for the production
of the finest grades of mohair. That this
is paying industry needs no further
proof than the referring to those who
have been successful in the goat business
in the Willamette valley during the last
few years. Below we give extracts from
q letter from the Stanford Mills, Maine,
to Mr.. Geo. A. Houck: 81 am pleased
to hear of your success i'll Oregon, and
hope more people will go into tho grow
ing of mohair in that state, as the climate
and feed seem SO we'll adapted for mohair
in that section of the country. This
country should grow enough to keep up
with the demand and keep our money on
this side OF the Atlantic, instead of send
ing it to Turkey. We have placed orders
in Constantinople for 1900 bags of for
eigI mohair. This will keep US going
until the new domestic clip comes on the
market next spring. Now regarding the
the price of plush, all our goods are sold
through the large wholesale or iobbing
houses, we do not sell any plush direct
from the mill to the retailer, and as we
make some As to SO different qualities,
I could not name a price unless had a
sample to see the quality. Those long
pile fancy squares and rugs are something
new. and have not been shown in the
market yet; another year we expect to
have them in for sale but could not fill
orders this season, The wholesale price
of our plush runs from 70 cents to $3.50
per yard, according to the quality; at
retail, the price would be much higher.
I thought the samples We sent you woald
be drawing card, they will always com :

Kidder-LibenOw,

To be married happily the second time
is condition of affairs that is not often
heard of, though such was the case in the
event of q marriage at the United cyan
gelical church on last Friday afternoon
when Rev. Boozer of that church united
in marriage Miss Faith Kidder of this
city, and Mr.. E. Liebenow, of San Fran
cisco.
Miss Kidder has lived with her mother
for several years in Corvallis, and there
were few who knew of her having been
married. Some six years ago Miss Kidder
and Mr.. Liebenow were married in the
Californian Metropolis. but in the Ian
guage of the groom when securing his
lisence the second time, "It was a sad
mistake, troubles arose between us and
we thought it best to secure a divorce
This was done and we have been separ-
ated for these several years. But now the
past is forgotten and We will begin anew
but this time to live life of happiness
and peace.
The wedding and the circumstances
surrounding it is a surprise to the many
friends and acquaintances of Miss Kidder,
though all unite in wishing Mr.. and MIR.
Liebenow, as they begin once more their
welded life, all the blessings that ac-
company a life ofhappiness and peace.
They will reside in San Francisco
where Mr.. Liebenow is engaged in ;
business.

GETTING IT ON ALL SIDES.

Calamity is hitting the poor cop
per heads on all sides. Even the
treasury's expenditure account is
going back on them. The present
indications are that this month
will show surplus of about 81 600
600 in treasury receipts over expen-
ditures. It was the hope of all the
::santi-imperialists" that the gov
ernment's out-go on account of the
naval and military establishment
would be up to such high figures
before this time that the gold re-
serve would have to be heavily
drawn upon, as was the case in
meeting the ordinary expenditures
in Cleveland's second adminstra-
ton, and that sale of 100000
600 or $2O0,000,00O. of bonds would
have to be resorted to long before
Congress meets in December this
year. This would make the whole
BANG of renegades, from Atkinson
and Garrison down to German,
Bryan and Billy Mason, whoop
with delight. But the .hoped-for1
has not happened.

At Tabon Bridge.

One of the many teats of daring per-
formed during the campaign in the
Philippines last spring was the capture
of the burning bridge at Tarbon by Law
toms scouts. This was body of 20 men
selected from the Oregon and North
Dakota volunteers and the Fourth cayal-
ry, and were under the command OF
Lieutenant Thornton, of the Oregons.
They attacked 200 Filippinos posted be-
hind breastworks on the opposite side OF
an unfordable stream, and drove them
out, crossing burning bridge in order to
do so. They then put out the fire by
CARRYING water in their hats and saved
the bridge for the passage of Lawton,s
army. This is but one OF the many incl
dents of the war that Captain Wells de-
scribes and illustrates in his lecture, using
fine stereopticon views made from photo
graphs taken at the front, some of them
in the fire and smoke of hattie. At the
college, Saturday evening, October 2Sth.
Admission, so cents; college students, 35
cents; public school children, 25 cents.

Not from Alsea.

There are. those in the noted and
beautiful valley of Alsea who wish it un-
derstood that the recent arrested swind-
lers, Fleece and Taylor were not from
their quiet and peaceful little dell. So
out of pure justice for the people of Alaea
and to correct mistake that was unin-
tentionally made, and one by the way
that nearly every paper in Western Ore
gon was guilty of making, we wish to
publish the fact that Fleece and Taylor
were not from Alsea, but were, according
to facts given us by residents from the
latter valley, from another romantic
place known as Lobster. This may put.
someone on hard terms with the Lobster
people, but we sincerly hopa it will not
happen, for in truth Fleece and Taylor
were but short residents in that district
and were probably on their way to Alsea
or some other district. Taking it all in
all, this is a most unfortunate condition
of affairs, for the people of Alsea, Lob
ster and this part of Oregon in general,
but We will simply pass it by as an ordi-
nary incident, and let it go at that

FRIDAY, OCT. 20, 1s99-
STILL AFTER THE TARIFF.

Democracy proposes with a
noisy flourish, to make opposition
to trusts leading feature OF next
years campaign, and as an evl-
dence of its incapable nature insists
that the first step toward destroy
ing the trusts is to smash the pro-
tective tariff. It is useless to point
out to the party of impracticables
that trusts flourish quite as well In
free trade countries as elsewhere.
Trusts are recent developement.
Protection is an old and time-hon-
ored principle. The country SUI
fered when the democrats success
fully assailed it, and reversed the
tariff policy. They still cling to
free trade despite their bitter expe-
rience with the Wilson law, and
now shift their ground and make
trusts an excuse for opening the
battle against protection. OF
course, the only way to regulate
trusts is to go at them directly,
and not turn the movement into a
crusade against something else.
But whenever democrat talks sor
writes about trusts he soon forgets
his starting point and expatiates on
the evils of protection. Democrat
ic logic and action are alike con-
fused and ineffective, When some
thing positive is to be accomplished
the republican party is inyaribly
called upon to do it. 1t is SO with
all public questions, and trusts will
be no exception.

Mrs. Mary Duttof1.

The funeral of Mrs. Edward Dutton
occurred at the M E. church on Monday
afternoon, aud after the solemn rites
were spoken, the mortsl remains of the
aged lady were laid to rest in Chrystal
Lake cemetery.
Mrs. Dutton was blessed with life OF
health and vigor, having never required
the services of physician, except at the
closing hours of her life, but at that time,
age and infrmity ruled and no skill OF
man could keep grim death from her
door.
Far back in the early part of the CEN
tury, SO years ago, Mary Mordy was born
in York, England, in September, 1917.
while but mere girl she was thrown out
into the world to work and care for her
self by the death of her father and moth
er. III 1860 she was married to Edward
Dutton and eleven years ater they cross
ed the Atlantic to America, a farm
was purchased near Ashton, Iowa, and
here they resided for several years. 1t
was here both became members of the
M. E. church, and her husband being a
minister, occupied the pulpit of his de-
nomination in Ashton
In 1884 Mrs Dutton came to Corvallis
where she was given charge of the Read
ing Room and the duties of this place
have occupied her attention until the
hour of her death on Sunday morning.
Earnest and industrious, Mrs. Dutton
passed life the like of which all could
we'll follow.
The only surviving relatives of the de-
ceased are her two step-sons. William
Dutton, of Little Elk and Joe Dutton of
his city.

On the County Road.


The heavy showers of the past few
days have kept Supervisor G. B. Wells
busy looking for enough dry spells to ac-
eomplish little work on the road south
of town. Sixteen teams began work haul
ing gravel Monday noon, and eight were
kept busy Tuesday. The ground became
so soft that Mr.. Wells believed that the
road was being to badly cut up and called
the teams off. Plows, with eight horses
attached, were put to making a furrow
IL inches deep on both sides of the road,
and ditch of this size was run from
Richards to two miles this side of the
Ann Smith place. Today, men wilt be
put to work throwing the dirt out of
these furrows.
Already, Ills loads OF gravel have been
hanled al average distance of two
miles, and extends over the road from a
half mile north of the Ann Smith place
to Richards. Only about 5000 has been
expended SO far, and the prospects are
that the court will have fund of $120O
or $500 to disburse.
