Took A Spin.

Two SONS of Walter Yates had
an exciting ride Sunday after
noon. They had been attend
ing church at Oakville, and were
returning home. When they
reached the Henry Stene corner,
dog ran out and frightened the
mare they were driving. The
lines broke and she dashed down
the road. The boys kept their
seats. After a run of some
thing more than mile, the mare
made short turn as she took
the road to Owl Greek. One OF
the wheels struck a stump and
was broken, letting the axle fall
to the ground. This slackened
the mares speed considerably
and one of the boys jumped out
and secured the broken lines,
bringing her to standstill.
Aside from a liberal coating of
mud neither of the occupants OF
the buggy were any the worse
for their ride.

New Tax Law.

At the last session of the leg.
islature new law was passed ii
regard to the collection of taxes,
which law took effect on Dec. I,
1901, and its substance is as
follows:
1 If you pay your taxes on o,
before March Is you will be allow
ed rebate of 8 per cent. "
2 fyou pay your taxes between
March 18th and up to and includ-
ing the first Monday in April, there
will not be any rebate and neither
will there be any penalty or inter
est added.
8 If your taxes are not paid
on or before the first Monday OF
April, they will become delinquent,
when there will be added a penalty
of 10 per cent, and the tax will al
so draw interest at the rate of IL
per cent per annum in addition to
the penalty.
4 If you pay one-half of your
taxes on or before the first Monday
in April, then the remaining half
may run up to and including the
first Monday in October following;
but if the last half of tax due is not
paid by the first Monday of October
it becomes delinquent, and there
will be added to such balance, a
penalty OF 10 per cent, and in ad-
dition, such balance will bear in
terest at the rate of IL per cent pei
annum from the first Monday in
April until paid.
5 On all personal property tax
es, if one-half is not paid on or be-
fore the first Monday in April, the
law compels the sheriff to levy up
on and collect the same after May
1st, hence to prevent a levy upon
personal property after May 1st it
will be necessary for one half to be
paid as above stated.
6 The law compels the sheriff to
sell all lands on which taxes have
not been paid, and that such sales
shall not be held later than March
LIST of the year in which the tax
levy is made.
7 The property will be sold to
the person bidding the lowest rate
of interest, and certificates will be
issued therefor, and deeds given to
such property sold, unless redeem
ed within three years from the date
of such sale.

Registration of Voters.

The voters of Benton county
are not registering as rapidly as
they Should. 1t seems from
what can be learned that, in
other counties the voters are
equally negligent of this duty.
Up to Friday evening the regis
tration in the various precincts
was as follows:
Corvallis No. I, rs; Corvallis
No 2, 80; Corvallis No 3, FL;
Corvallis No 4, S; Paramount, S;
Soap Greek, 8; Kings Valley, 7;
Summit, 10; Blodgett, I; Wren,
s; Philomath, s: Willamette, 8;
Alsea, 7. Bellfountain, 2; Mon
roe, 7. This makes a total of
I5o. From now ON voters will
have to come to the front at a
lively rate in order to have their
names ON the books when the
time is up.
Clerk waters is sending cut
blanks to all notaries public and
justices of the peace who apply
for them. So far blanks have
been forwarded to the nota-
ry public of Blodgett, and the
various justices of Philo ath,
Kings Valley, Summit and Mon
roe. The average voter who
has an application blank for reg
istration filed out by a justice
of the peace Or notary public of
his precinct is apt to infer that
everything in his case is settled
and ali that he has to do is to
vote on election day. In this he
may avoid trouble by taking
pains to find out that his appli-
cation has reached the clerk. In
whatever precinct a man IS reg
istered there he must vote. He
can, if he intends changing his
residence from one precinct to
another before election day, de-
lay registering as late as the 18th
Of May.

Died Suddenly.

The announcement yesterday
morning of the death of S. A.
Hemphil1 came as surprise and
a shock to this community.
Even the few who were aware
that he had been suffering from
a slight attack of grip since Tues
day of last week, were unpre-
pared for this sorrowful inferma-
ton. Mr.. Hemphill was in his
harness shop for the last time
Thursday, but he was not con-
fined to his bed. Sunday, his
condition seemed considerably
improved, and when his wife
arose Monday morning aer hus-
band seemed in good spirits.
| About twenty minutes before six
o'clock Mas. Hemphil1 was in
another room, and heard her hus-
band gasp and when she reached
his side he was dead. Heart
disease is believed to have been
the cause of death.
Samuel Anderson Hemphil1
was bern in Indiana county,
Pennsylvania, April 28th, 1890.
At an early age he moved to n
diana, where he sEwas married TO
Miss Mary Gordon. At the
opening OF the Civil War he in
listed in company G, 4th Indiana
cavalry and served through the
Vicksburg and Red River cam
paigns. He took part in the
Wilson raid which resulted in
the capture of Jefferson Davis at
Macon, Georgia.
At the close of the war he re-
turned to Indiana and re-engaged
in the harness business. lin 1876
he came to Corvallis and entered
the employ of w. A. Wells who
was then conducting a harness
shop in this city. Some months
later he was joined by his family
Finally he opened a harnesss
shop of his own, and continued
in the business until the day OF
his death. The first of this
month he took in his son as a
partner,
Mr. Hernphill was the father
of three children, but his wife
and son, Mack, alone survive
him.
The funeral will occur to-
Wednesday afternoon at2
o'clock from the family resi-
dence. DR.. E. J. Thompson
will offciate and the services
will be under the auspices Of the
Odd Fellows, of which order Mr..
Hemphill became a member in
May, 1851. Isterment will be
made in Crystal Lake cemetery.
Mr.. Hemphill was one of Cor
vallis' most substantial and high
y respected citizens. Although
to all, he. was no wise
ami1lar, but maintained a re-
serve which gained the esteem of
Ill who met him. His intimate
knew him as congen.
al, accommodating companion;]
lis family as a kind and indul-
gent husband and father. Such
nen are all too scarce in any
community.

That's Just like a Yankee" said
Minister WI T1ng-fang, when shown
the dispatch from Pekin that through
the efforts OF Attorney Carey, repre-
senting the American-China Develop
ment Company, and Minister Conger, g
decree had been signed by the Chinese
government ratifying the supplemental
contract for the construction OF a rail-
road from Canton TO Hankow
why does Carey get any credit for
it?" asked the minister. = first drew
up the contract for the building of that
railroad in 1888, and gave the conces-
sion to ex-senator Calvin Brice. That
was my idea, and I deserve some credit
for it. Why does. Carey go over there
and claim credit for the whole thing?"
"The railroad viii be completed

said. and it viii be good thing for my
country. We should have more rail-
roads. We viii have them.
