MUSK FOR MOTHERS
And Red Daughters-Siletz Denizens
Bought it and other Things in
Corvallis.

Corvallis has been full of Indians
for the past few days. They are
fresh from the hop fields, and as
their pockets were well filed with
money, they have almost had the
freedom of the city. They hail from
the Si1etz country, and to the num-
Der of 100, men, women and chill
dren, have been camped on the flat
near Mary's river bridge. Their
stay has been a source of special
interest to Corvallis dealers, with
whom they have done lively trade
Their purchases have included ev-
erything from cambria needle to a
suit of clothes or a family range.
AT one drug store they bought lib
orally of musk for perfumery pur-
poses. Generally speaking, the
buyer was of the female persuasion,
and she invariably asserted that the
1oud-odored drug was not for her
own use. If an aged mother she
avowed that the stuff was wanted
for her daughter. If a buxom
young maiden, she 1isped out in
"Bosting" English that her mother
wanted it. Thus, the universally
of the female mind to hide its van
ity seems so complete as to pos
sess even the red woman scarcely
over the border line of civilization.
The red men also frequented the
drug stores. None of them, how
ever bought musk or other per-
fume. Their tale of woe was one
of sickness. They wanted medi-
cine. Their physical inwards were
debi1itated, and they wanted some
thing to bring them back to health.
Out of the condition, the drug
clerks did a thriving business.
They dished out powders, pills and
bitter solutions to suit the exig-
encies of the different cases and in
amounts to fit the money the buy
er wanted to spend,
In the stores, too. the red buyers
were in evidence, and the clerk
who could mix a little chinook with
his own venacu1ar was valuable to
his employer. In one store, an
squaw, when told that the
price Of certain article was so
cents, informed the dealer that
she could do better than that at
Toledo, and whisked indignantly
from the establishment.

NOW AND THEN
Livestock Prices-Something About
Them Now and in the Past.

Livestock Prices ABOUT
Them Now and in the Past.
Fat hogs, weighing 175 pounds
and upwards, continue to be quot
ed by local buyers at six cents per
pound on foot. Smaller hogs bring
five and half and five and three
quarters. Though hogs are scarce,
the excellence of the prices is a
surprise to both buyers and grow
, ers. At such figures, hogs are be-
1ieved by many to be the best pro-
perty on a farm, especially when
wheat for feeding purposes rules so
high.
Beef steers are quoted at three
cents, with a slightly better figure
for prime stuff. Mutton rules at
about two and a quarter. Figures of
the past FIVE years in Portland
market are interesting. The Ru-
raj Spirit publishes table on the
subject, from which the following
figures are taken. The prices are
for the month of September:

HIS DEATH
Charles H. Moor Passed Away in
Portland-Buria1 in Corvallis
Today.

Charles H. Moor, son of c H
Moor, and a former Corvallis boy,
died at St Vincent's hospital in
Portland Wednesday evening at
$50 o'clock. His home was at
Stevenson, Wash, and hehad gone
toPort1and the first of the week for
medical treatment. His af1iction
was bright's disease, and he was
well enough when he arrived in
Portland Tuesday to walk ashore
from the steamer to the hospital.
The news of the character of his
ai1ment and that his case was hope
less was communicated to the fam
lily in Benton county, who sup
posed that his decline would be
gradual and that the end, as is
usual with the disease, would be
slow to come. Thursday morning,
however a telegram from Mrs
Moore, who was with him at the
hospital, conveyed the intelligence
that her husband was no more.
Judge Moor went to Portland by
Thursdays train, and will accom-
pany the remains of his son to
Corvallis today.
The burial is to be in Odd Eel
low cemetery. A regular funeral
service was held in Portland yes
terday afternoon. On the arrival
of the westside train at noon today,
the hearse and carriages will be in
waiting, and the funeral party will
go direct from the station to the
cemetery. At the grave there will
be simple burial service, conduct
ed by Rev Noble of the Baptist
church.
Charley Moor, whose youth,
boyhood and young manhood were
spent in Corvallis, was universally
esteemed by all who knew him.
He was born in Polk county, jan
uary 18th, 1858. When but few
years of age, he came with his
parents to the farm north of Cor
wallis where Judge Moor still re-
sides. In time he came to Cor
Wallis and learned the printing
trade, working On the Gazette,
Benton Leader and other publica-
tions. He aided in the compost
ton for the first issue of the TIMES.
and continued for two or three
years in the composing room of the
paper.
In 1888, he was united in mar
riage to Miss Alice Vineyard, and
in 1890 they went to Portland to
reside, where Mr. Moor became de-
putty weigher- and gauger in the
customs service. While serving
in the latter capacity, Mr. Moor
law at odd hours, and in
1895 was admitted to the bar. In
1896 he went to Stevenson, Ska
mania county, Washington, and
engaged in the practice of his pro-
fession. There, he arose rapidly
in political prominence and in
1900, was elected prosecuting at
torney of his county, in which, he
made an enviab1e record. During
his term he prosecuted the Hood
River murderer, who formerly re-
sided near Philomath, and succeed
ed in bringing him to justice and
the ga1lows. In the community
Of his late home, the death of
Mr. Moor is deplored, as it is here
n the scenes of his earlier career,
where the melancholy news of his
passing, awakened profound re-
5ret.

and they never will be. The
fusionists have Jim Weaver and
Jerry Simpson. That is all.
And these two traitors have been
chasing up and down the country
for six years, trying to lay the
populist party in the grave beside
the greenback party. They had
about accomplished their pur-
pose, but what they left undone
has been supplied by the fusion
lists of Nebraska. Populists
would be only too glad to vote
the populist ticket, but the flu
sionists have killed the party, and
there is no populist ticket in Ne
braska for populists to support.
There is no enthusiasm over the
gang of democrats running on the
fusion ticket. How can men en-
thuse over the petty dickens of
the spoilsmen? What is there in
the election of a democrat for
governor TO make populists
happy? There might be little
democratic patronage to give to
democrats, and the democrats of
the east as doubt would congrat-
ulate the democrats of Nebraska
upon destroying populism and

indignation, the recent democratic efforts
to drag its honor in the dust and cast re-
proach upon its fair name.
We congratulate the republican party
| for the faithful fulfillment of the pledge
made at its national convention of 1900,

was consumated at Havana on May 20,

We commend our present county Off.

We congratulate the people of Nebras-
la upon the present prosperity of our
state, and we commend the business like
and economic methods employed by Gov.

proceeding administrations of nearly two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Be
il further
RESOLVED, That we disapprove of the
inequality of the present methods of the
assessment of property for taxation,
there being no two counties assessed up
on the same basis We therefore demand
that our revenue laws of the state be
amended so that every dollars worth of
property or franchises shall be assessed
at its actual cash value and that the
levies be decreased to the lowest possible
number of mills, that will provide suffici-
ent revenue for county and state pur-
poses. Be it further
RESOLVED, That it be made the duty
of the attorney general and county attor-
ney to see that the law is properly
enforced; and be it further
RESOLVED, That we recommend the
calling of constitutional convention in
the near future, or that the question of
amendments to the constitution be sub
mitted to the people of the state for their
ratification.
With the understanding that the Hon.

ton of congressman from this congress

RESOLVED, That we recognize i'll Mr..

carrying the state, but populist:
and populism are no where to be
found in the shuttle. The figh
is between the two old parties,
the same as it would have been,
had populism never been born.
The populist party of Nebraska
is dead, and no one has done more
work to kill it, than the editor OF
the Independent. Before reform
work can be reasoned again,
fusion must be killed. The
quickest way to kill fusion
is to vote the republican tick
ct until fusion is good and dead.
Then populists can organize the
allied peoples party if they wish,
or Join the socialists who are al
ready in the field. The question
now is one between the two old
parties. 1t is a question of
whether democrats or republicans
shall fill the offices of this state.
The fusionists have voted the de-
mocratic ticket for six years to
kill the populists party, and yet
claim to be populists. Anti
fusionists can as consistently vote
the republican ticket this year to
defeat democrat for governor
and kill fusion, and still be popu-
lists. The fusion traitors have
sold out our party. Now I am in
favor of Kidding the state of the
traitors who have sold us out.

Republican Resolutions or Custer County

The republicans of Custer county in
convention assembled, reaffirm the prin-
ciples of republication as set forth in the
national platform of 1900.
We congratulate the people upon the
happiness and prosperity that has come
to them as a result of republican policy
and republican legislation. Wages were
never SO high, nor producers so we'll
compensated for their products as now.
Men were never SO well housed, clothed
and fed, and have never before had more
contentment of mind than during the
years since republican policy has been
enacted into law
We congratulate the President and the
Army on the satisfactory progress made
in the Philippines in surpressing the in
surection and establishing order and we
government therein. Our flag is in the
Philippines and there it will remain until
such time as the American people may
deem it expedient or proper to give the
islands free and independent govern
ment, such as it has just given Cuba.
The American Army has taken up the
work of maintaining authority in the
Philippines, and while we deplore and
severely condemn any instances of crnel-
ty which may have occurred, we remem-
Der our soldiers are fighting barbarous
and treacherous foe which has inflicted
most revolving and inhuman atrocities
upon its prisoners. 1t is the Nations
Army drawn from every section of our
country, knowing no politics nor creed,
but fighting the Nations battles under
the Nations Flag; and we resent with
