In common with Massachusetts and
some other states, Illinois has a law
forbidding the use of the American flag
for advertising purposes. Tbs Jaw the
supreme court of Illinois has pro-
sonabe interference with personal lib
erty, and one not warranted by the po-
ice power of the state. AS to the senti-
ment involved, the court holds thai
dgnified and proper treatment OF the
flag must be left TO be enforced by pub
lie opinion. But the enactment of such
laws as that of Illinois suggests that
public opinion had not been sufficient
to that end.

William j. Bryan will not get a
chance to talk free silver on the cam
pus of Brown university. When the
university debating union proposed a
few days ago to get him to address the
student body while visiting Providence
the proposition met with favor among
collegians. When Dean Winslow Upton
checked the scheme by refusing to give
permission for such a meeting and re-
ferred the matter to the executive COM
mittee of the corporation for final ac-
tion the officers of the union began to
be afraid of the plan. When three days
had passed with no reply from the eX-
ecutiye powers of the university the
students who had been working for the
Bryan meeting found that they dared
not venture farther. Therefore they
dropped the matter. Fear that Brown
would lose prospective financial sup
port if Bryan should be allowed to
speak under the sanction of the univeC.
sity authorities is the reason given why
the plan has fallen through. Enemies
of former President f.. Ben jamin An
drews asserted that money sufficient
TO run the college comfortably did not
come because of his free silver views.-

Mr.. Bryan in Touch.

Attorney E. L. Bryan. whe
has been assigned by the state
managers of Mr.: w. ]. Bryan's
campaign to organize Bryan
clubs through Oregon, spoke at
Toledo last week, and the Lea
der of that city speaks quite we'll
of his effgG. We have heard
w. J. aud E. L. on the stump
and to tell the truth, E. L. can
entertain US better than w. 7.
can. The Leader says:
''E. L. Bryan, of Benton coun-
ty, entertained a fair-sized audi
e-ce at the court house last Sat-
urday night. Mr.. Bryan is
real nice young man, and has
numerous friends in Toledo.
He is also a pretty fair talker-
in fact, is classcd among the
demod-atic spellbinders. He
cut loose in regular Bryanistic
style and wound up in the same
manner. He jumped onto Presi-
dent Mckinley with both teet,
knocked out Mark Hanna's best
eye, sympathized awfully with
the poor boys in blue over in the
Philippines-in short he out
Bryaned Bryan-or very near it.
The young man is not unlike
Bryan the candidate. Both car
ry full-blown expansion smiles
which belle their narrow, con-
tracted and pessimistic utter
ances, both love to talk, and
both talk for money. Mr.. Bryan
did as we'll as any man could
with the material at hand, and
his Toledo friends, regardless of
politics, are glad to see him ia
touch with the campaign bar

Yaquina Bay Bar.

Regarding what was accom-
plished this summer by way of
improving the bar at Yaquina is
set forth in Fridays Telegram,
and is based on the observations
of a member of the United
States Engineers Corps, as fol-
lows:
Captain w. w. Harts, United
States Engineer, returned last
evening from a 1o-days' tour of
inspection Of the government
works along the coast. He Wis
tied Yaquina Bay, Siuslaw, Coos
Bay and the works on Coquille
River. At Yaquina Bay Captain
Harts reports the troublesome
rock in the channel on which
work has been in progress for
three months, is no longer All
element of danger. This rock,
which is pinnacle In form, was
about 90 feet long and IL feet
in width. Through the use of
about two tons of dynamite this
rock has been cut down so that
there is now about IS feet of
water over it at low tide, and
20 and FL teet at high tide.
Work upon this obstruction was
stopped by the stormy weather,
but will be resumed next season
in the event that further work is
needed. The jetty at Yaquina
Bay, instead of being beaten
down, as was reported, was found
in good order. Although some
of the false work has been torn
down, as was expected, the rock
work which alone is of value, is
in excellent shape, and up to
the required level its entire
length. From seafaringmen,
who make Yaquina Bay, Cap
tain Harts learned that the gov
ernment works at this place
could not give better satisfaction.

The Reading Roeft1.

There is free reading room
in this city. From the lack OF
attendance on the part of the
public it weuld appear that few
people are aware Of the fact, or
being aware of it, did not appre-
ciate the opportunity thus afford
ed them to pass an hour Or two
at odd times. The reading room
is situated on Main street just
across from the establishment Of
7. Fl. Harris. 1t is kept in or
der by Mr.. and Mrs. John Barn.
hart, and is fostered by the w.
G. T. U. Anybody is at liberty
to step in at all times and make
themselves at home. This is an
offer extended to p-ople from
abroad, as we'll as at. home.
The reading room is worthy of
patronage, in fact, far more than
it receives. It was conceived
by and is under the supervision
of number of good ladies of
this city, and there is not a sor-
did motive it its conception.
There is always a supply of the
latest and best reading matter on
hand, as we'll as standard itera-
ture. In this, as we'll as other
matters, the public have grown
careless and seem to overlook
the advantages of such an oppor-
tunity. It is free to all, but it
costs money to run it, and should
any person be disposed to assist
to defray this expense, there is
contribution box in the room
and dimes, niokles and pennies
dropped in it will be thankfully
received.

A New Boat.

A new boat was recently
launched at Portland, where il
had been constructed by Supple
Bros. It was built for the Will
lanette Pulp and Paper Com
pauy and was designed by Engi-
neer Evans, OF Salem. The
craft has 3o-foot beam, is / SO
feet over all, and has a carrying
capacity of about $50 tons. It
is SO constructed that it will
draw only about 20 inches
of water, which will render it
very serviceable during the low
est stages Of water. 1t is de-
signed especially for the use of
this company and will be- used
mainly on the Willamette river.
It will not be many months be-
fore her whistle will be heard
In this city. Captain Young will

No Popu1ist Indians.

James Plunkett, of of Kings
Valley, paid Corvallis business
visit Monday. Mr.. Plunkett says
everyone is busy in his section. A
populist neighbor of his stated the
other day tina. lhe wished he could
divi 10 himself into four men in or
der that he might do more to sup
ply the demand for labor, Mr..
Plunkett told him he could remedy
that matter by voting for Bryan.
If Bryan were elected he could re-
duce himself into one fourth of
man and even then find leisure time.
Mr.. Plunkett knows the Indians
of Siletz we'll. He recently asked
one of these gentlemen about the
political complexion of things at
the agency. Are there any repub.
licans among the Indians?" asked
Mr.. Plunkett. "Lots," responded
his red brother. "Any dcmocrats?"
"Oh, some," in a tone that would
indicate a hopeless minority. "Any
populists?" mot a damn one,'
came the answer sudden and de-
cided.

Gives Us a Good Name.

Mr.. c. Hughes, the original
"hustler'' for the Pacific Home
stead, recently visited Corvallis
and surrounding country. His
concluding sentence printed be-
low is most complimentary to
our farmers hospitality. AS a
result of his visit he contributes
the following:
Nearing Corvallis, we stopped
at the farm of w. S. Toole, but
the place was deserted, the owner
and his family having left for
Southern Oregon to engage in
mining, an occupation that Mr..
Toole had formerly engaged in
before going to the farm.
Beautiful White Leghorn
chickens are plentiful in this
neighborhood, before crossing
out of Linn to Benton county.
We crossed the river here and
spent Saturday on the streets of
Corvallis, where we met many
friends of the Homestead, and
from the accompanying list of
names we leave it to the mana
gers of the farm paper how the
friends of tie paper received the
hustler on his third visit to the
county.
P. S. We were invited to
spend the Sabbath with not less
than twenty farmers on Satur-
day.

Laborers In Demand.

J. w. Simpson and Joseph Hun
ter returned, Saturday, from E
cruise of ten days or two weeks dur
alton in the Siuslaw country. This
is located something over so miles
southwest of Corvallis. While i.
that section they saw much activity
in the numbering industry. In fact
there seemed to be shortage Of
lumberman and they were frequent.
ly asked to go to work.
Five mills are already in opera
tion, and two others are in course
of erection and will be completed in
forty days. The capacity of these
seven mills, which will all be oper-
ated by steam, will be 100000 feet
per day. These mills are located
near the head of tide on Siuslaw
bay. Steamers easily reach the
mills and carry their product to the
markets of the world. This point
is supplied with,a daily mail SER
vice, one carrier covering the route
to Eugene and another taking the
mail from Siuslaw down the coast.
The party consisting of Messrs.
Simpson, Joe Hunter, John Hunter,
Wash Ray and Sam Martin, made
the trip with view of locating tim
Der claims. They followed the
Long Tom for some distance, and
crossing the divide struck a tribu-
tary to the Siuslaw, and finally
reached the bay. They saw an
abundance Of the finest fir timber
in the world. Some time was
spent in hunting and their efforts
were rewarded in the shape of fine
deer.
The party followed Lake creek,
a stream half as large as the Will
lamette, which is swelled by winter
rains into roaring torrent, until
it reaches the lake, some 25 miles
above the mills. Lake Greek lake
is q beautiful'body Of water about a
mile square and eighty feet deep.
Logging camps were running on
Long, Elk, Wildcat. Siuslaw, In
dian, Deadwood, Thompson and
Hart creeks, all tributaries of Lake
Creek. At present this work is
carried Oh without the assistance of
horses or cattle, the logs being rolled
off the banks into the creeka. Lat
er, however, when timber must be
gotten farther away, chutes and
skid-roads will be necessary and
cattle will be used. There is great
demand for men at the mills and
in these camps, $I.50 per day and
board bsing offered. Mr.. Martin,
who is an experienced mill man,
accepted the position as head-saw-
yer in one of the mills and did not
return with the party. Near the
lake there is considerable cedar,
but most of the timber is fir, some
Of it being ten feet and more in di-
ameter, and the supply nearly in
exhaustible.

Asa Alexander spent Sunday at
Albany.
Painters began applying new
coat of paint to the exterior of the
Congregational church yesterday
A reception to the students Of
the Agricultural College was given
by President Catch at his residence
Saturday evening. Light refresh
ments were served.
It is reported that P:of. J. M.
Wood, the blind violinist, had died
a short time ago at Fresno, Califor-
MIA, of heart disease. Benton coun-
ty was Prof. Woods boyhood home.
Mr.. Nose Kline arrived on yes
terday's S. P. in answer to tele-
gram calling him to the bedside of
his father. He left the train near
the house and hastened home, but
was few moments too late to find
his father alive.
The funeral of Homer Mulkey
occurred at North Yakima, Wash,
September 18th. He left Corvallis
few months ago, and his family
had no knowledge of his illness un-
til they received telegram stating
that he died of typhoid fever after
an absence of but few days. His
brother, Grant, arrived in time to
be present at the funeral.
Mr.. L. G. Kline died at his home
in this city Monday morning at
11:45 o'clock. Mr.. Kline had been
seriously i'll but short time. For
many years, however, he has been
in feeble state Of health and his
demise was not unexpected. He
had reached the ripe age of "
years, and leaves a heritage of
good deeds, and a host of sincere
friends to mourn his loss.
The M. E. church rendered a re-
ception, Friday night, to the o A G
students. The church was we'll
filled with students and members
of the congregation and delight
full time resulted. The students
were made to feel at home and
were given cordial invitation to
attend this place of worship. Dur
ing the evening someone, full of
mischief, turned the electric light
off. For moment everything was
as quiet as a graveyard, then it
seemed as though a thousand
tongues were let loose at once.
Everything was babble and con-
fusion for a moment or so. The af-
fair was meant for joke and was
taken as such.
Luther Williams arrived in this
city last week on visit to his old
home after an absence Of several
years. He came from the Sumpter
mining district direct here. In
speaking of that region he states
that in his opinion that country
will be a better country for the
laborer five years hence than it is
today. The reason for this is that
prospecting will be over to great
extent and the work Oh developing
and operating in regulation style
will be established throughout the
district. In other words, there will
be no wildcat" As 1t is at pres
ent, the country is all right, but it's
resources have been oyer-done.
Laboring men have congregated
there far in excess of the demand
for them, and as a mutual result,
many have been doomed to disap-
pointment, both in the way of max
ing any fabulous strikes and secur-
ing labor at a high wage. To cut
the matter short, the history of the
Sumpter mining district has been
almost identical with that of all
other sections.
