Commissioners, Court.

The following matters, additional to
those published by US last week, were
transacted by the commissioners court
at their recent session:
Mr.. Ed Pyburn appeared before the
court with Mrs. Mary Tulley and child
OF seven years, who were represented to
be without means of support. It appear
ing to the court that Mrs. Tully was an
INDECENT person of feeble mind and hav-
ing no relations on whom she could de-
pend for assistance, a warrant was or
dered drawn in favor of Mr. Pyburn to be
used for support of Mrs. Mary Tully and
child.
In the matter of proposed county
road leading from the road run
ming from Philomath to Gleason IS
mill, it appearing to the satisfaction of
the court that petition for viewing and
locating of said road was signed by more
than IL householders, and that satis-
factory notice had been given by adver-
tisement prior to presentation of said
petition, it.was ordered that A. M.
Witham, Louis F. Wilson and John E.
Wyatt be appointed viewers of said pro-
posed road, to meet in the drug store o.
Samuel Davis, at Philomath, on Friday.

Second Oregon Dead.

All arrangements have been made for
the reception and burial of the body of
Lyman Keisay, by the K. of P. of this
city, of which he was a member. An
order for the body has been received
from his mother who is now in Califor-
mia, and 1t has been sent to Depot Quar-
termaster Long at San Francisco. The
transport Handbook, with 462 officers
and men is due to arrive at that city,
February 22nd. and it is probable
that Lyman's remains are on her. There
are number of unclaimed bodies of
Oregon soldiers lying at San Francisco,
and these with probably 10 or Is others
to come, will arrive in Portland about
March 18th. If any Of the relatives or
legal representatives of these dead sol.
diers desire to claim the remains, Gov
ernor Geer asks that they notify either
himself or General Summers, and the
remains will be turned over to them.
All unclaimed will be buried at Portland
with one ceremony.

The City Council.

At its regular session Monday evening
the city council transacted the following
items of business:
A report in writing, representing the
opinion of the city attorney, was made
by the committee appointed to investf-
gate the matter of opening an alley back
of the residence property Of A. F. Peter
son, William Bogue and others. The
opinion was in effect, that the alley hav-
ing been closed for period of ten years,
city was barred by the statute of limita-
ton from taking action in the matter.
The fire and water committee reported
very little progress in the matter OF secur-
ing 500 feet of additional hose as petit
toned fer by the chief of the fire depart
ment, and it was referred back to the
committee.
In the matter of compensation to the
city's attorneys in the water case, the
committees to whom it was referred.
recommended the payment of 500 each
to H G Watson and E E Wilson. The
report was adopted by the council.
The funds on h and for the construc-
ton of the revetment east Of the city be-.
ing nearly exhausted, and the manifest
necessity of extending this iettv 1900
feet further being fully recognized by the
council, letter to our representatives in
congress, asking for an appropriation

Bills were allowed on the general fund
to the amount of $1,000, and $50. 81 on
the street fund.

Abreast of Progress.

The hoped for has happened. The
old has given place to the new, The
survival of the fittest has again been
demonstrated. Corvallis has freed
herself of evidence of ancient methods of
transportation and abolished the horse
car to make place for the horseless
carriage. Sister cities may continue to
disfgure their streets with unsightly
railways and donkey engines, but Cor
Wallis, has religated these things to
history. Last Friday morning, workmen
began removing the car track on Main.
street, which has disfgured that thor
oughfare and disconnected traffic, and
Mr.. Eccler, representative of the Oregon
Lumber and Pine Co., o: Viento, Wasco
county, which firm has purchased the
rails from c. Schmidt, has made arrange
ments for the 81 tons Of this material to
be shipped on the Ruth to Portland.
At special meeting of the council,
Thursday evening it was decided that
$140 would be necessary to repair the
damage done to the street by tearing up
the railroad, which amount Mr.. Eccler
agreed to pay. AS soon as conditions
incident to this progressive move be
come settled. the purchase of q span of
automobiles will probably be considered.

Secret Work Exposed.

Nearly every secret erder has at some
time or other received into it's mem
bership some designing miscreant, who
would make capital out of his knowledge
and an expose follows. Whether they
are spurious or not makes little differ
ence, the public takes them for genuine
and the. order is damaged in consequence.
The latest disclosure of this nature has
been made by an exchange, and the
whole newspaper fraternity should be up
in arms, for the sanctuary of the printer
man is no longer sacred:
advance to the inner door and give
three distinct raps and then proceed to
kick the door down, or if you open it in
the ordinary manner, be sure and leave
it wide open. The "devil" will attend
the alarm. To him you will give your
name, post-ofice address, and the num-
Der of years yeu are owing for the paper.
He will admit you. You will then ad-
vance to the center OF the room and
salute the editor with the following coun
tersign: Extend the right hand about
two feet from the body, with the thumb
and fingers extended, the thumb and
index finger claeping ten dollar coin.
If this is made correctly the editor will
advance with his right hand extended
and with the palm upwards hold it with
in three inches of your extended hand.
You will then drop the coin into his
hand at the same time saying: "Were
you looking for ne?" The editor will
grasp your hand and the coin, and while
shaking it will reply, "You betr' You
will then be permitted to fill your pipe
out of the "devil's" tobacco sbox, and

then be permitted to retire after having
received the permanent pass words,

A Grievance.

A citizen of Kings Valley, writing to
his paper under date of Februar II,
has the following grievance to air con-
cerning the condition of mail received at
the valley post-ofice. The annoyance of
the postmaster at that Office, Who has to
segregate this mass of matter and de-
terfnine its destination, must be consid-
cradle:
"Many times of late our mail matter
has come to this Office, and reached us
in a very much used up and miscellan-
eous condition. Now who il to eensure
for this? Is there a screw loose some
where down the liner Three or four
different times very recently has your
obedient servitor been handed mail
with wrapper torn off and wrappers
directed to me clumsily tied to mail
matter belonging to Lord only knows.
It would appear that some mail clerk or
some other clerk had emptied out the
contents of Uncle Sans mail pouch and
jumped on the heap with his stogies and
danced jig, or else score of kids turn
ed loose to demolish or plumber the pile.
Several times very lately we have re-
ceived notice of mail matter in transit,
that has not showed up. The printed
wrapper came off one parcel, but it was
on another entirely different. We make
proper and reasonable allowance, but in
this repeated instance: time has come te
make small kick and ask Uncle Sam to
please examine into this business. The
department does furnish twine and
wrapping material in case of damage to
secure mail matter in transit. Why not
use it? Very respectfully,
CUMTUx.''

THAT SCALP BOUNTY. FUND.
Tie counties That Pay and Those That
Receive tine Benefit.

TIE Counties That Pay and Those That
Receive tine Beadefit.
The scalp bounty tax law enacted by
the last legislature is meeting with dis
satisfaction by nearly all counties OF the
Willamette valley. Multnomah county
has efused to levy the tax, and citizens
of Marion have served notice that they
will refuse to pay any such tax if levied.
Judge Terrill has solicited able attorneys
to ascertain the constitunality of the
act, a well known lawyer OF Albany
giving 1t as his opinion that the law will
not stand the test.
The total fund that would be raised,
had all the. counties made the levy
would bs $50. .290; with Multnomah out
of the question, it will be only $22,375.
Most of this money will, of course, go to
protect the sheep of the 10 great stock
counties, which, as the summaries show,
have W within their borders as2, 476 sheep
and goats, valued at $1,3S6,009 Little
will go to the 10 heavily assessed count
les, whose wealth does not consist
altogether of sheep and goats. The total
number they possess of these classes of
animals is only 167 ,915, valued at $278,
452.
The 10 stock counties mentioned are:
Baker, Crook, Grant, Harney, Lake,
Malheur, Gillian, Umatilla, Wallowa
and Wheeler. Their total taxable prop
erty is val lued at $2o,23l, ,344. The 10
counties have, comparatively speaking,
but few sheep and goats, are: clackamas,
Douglas, Jackson, Lane. Linn, Marion,
Multnomah, Polk, Washington and
Yamhill, The value of their taxable
property is SIG, 073.3Ss. A levy of one
fourth of mill upon their property
would net $19,017: with Multnomah out
OF it, 1,1O3. The stock counties will
contribute $4075. aud the remainder
must be raised in all other counties
which have made the levy.
Benton county has 17,024 sheep and
goats, with a total value OF $34, ,405. The
total value of her taxable property is
So, ,625, ,272, and her contribution to the
scalp bounty tax will be $sO2.35. Crook
county possesses 176, 1894 of these animals,
whose value is $26S,323. Her total tax
able prope, ty amounts to only 81 1,715, 7S9,
and she only contributes $429 to the

Miss Ninnifred Won.

No better evidence of the deep interest
taken in the Agricultural College by the
people of Corvallis is needed, than the
splendid attendance accorded every form
OF entertainment offered hy those con
nected with this institution. If the
program be one OF sports, keen person.
al interest is felt by the entire communi-
ty, and sthe feats of the local savorites
are the subject of comment for days.
IF the exercises are of literary nature
the college auditorium is crowded and
enthusiasm prevails. The oratorical
contest at the college last Friday evening
was no exception to the rule. The con-
testants, Miss Mamie Winnifred, of the
Pierian society, and Miss Inez Fuller, of
the Sorosis society, received ovations,
and every other number on the program
was heartily applauded. Miss Lulu
Spangler's solo, Miss frankie Cauthorn's
recitation and the choruses and orches-
ira selections were all excellently rem
dered.
Miss Winnifred was the first speaker
for eratorical honors. Her subject "The
Evolution OF American Literature" was
original in treatment, simple iu diction,
and convincing in argument. While
lacking in force at times. her delivery
was excellent, and her enunciation
perfect.
''The Moving Factor in the Progress
of Civilization" was the subject handled
by Miss Fuller. While her effort " as
in many respects creditable, both in
composition, delivery, voice and argu-
ment, she suffered in comparison with
her opponent, and the decision of the
judges, Professor S. I. Pratt, DR.. Thomp-
son and Mr.. Bryant, in favor of Miss
Winnifred, was heartily endorsed by the
audience.

BIG BRIDGE CONDEMNED.

Albany Refuses to Maintain 1t longer
Linn County Also Declines.
The big wagon bridge spanning the
Willamette at Albany has been con:
demned. This fact is cleaned from
telegram to the Oregonian from that
city under date of February 14th.
The removal of this structure as a part
of the highway will probably ly be followed
by the placing of free ferry on the river
at that place. Corvallis has been given
the privilege Of operating a free ferry,
and now would be an opportune time to
embrace it. The dispatch follows: By
order Of the city council of this city, a
notice was placed on the big steel bridge
crossing the river here, built in 1892, to
the effect that the bridge, being unsafe
to be used by the travelling public, it is
ordered that all travel be suspended over
it until further notice. The bridge needs
redecking and new piles will have to be
placed in the approaches. The bridge
was built jointly by the county of Linn
and the city Of Albany, under the super
vision of the city council. The city has
been keeping the bridge up since its
construction, Now it is having its hands
full with its current expenses and big
bond interest, and it is desired to trans
fer the responsibility TO the counties of
Linn and Benton, which the bridge joins
hence the action of the council.
This leaves the structure, which cost
$95 900, without an acknowledged owner,
and is probable that the matter will be
settled only by the courts. as the county
has refused to assume the expense of
keeping the bridge up. Travel will con-
tinue oyer the bridge at the risk Of the
