The prediction made some time ago
that the newspapermen do not put
up their best game in cool weather,
but that when Old Sol got after the
mercury, they would show the other
teams how to play the national game,
has been fulfilled. 1t has been
some years since the scribes
set the rooters wild with their
playing and caused the air to be filled
with cushions, consequently it took
several games and large amount of
hot weather to get their muscles lin
bered up. But they are in condition
now and In the future the other teams
will be made to look like two cent
piece through which daylight shines.
They have also found their batting
eye as was shown in the game Thurs
day evening when they hammered the
Goodrich office pitcher for 10 runs.
Out of sheer generosity the Goodrich
nine was given s runs. The scrlbes
have no grudge against the Goodrich
team and have been noted for their
generosity toward the greater part of
base ball humanity. The generosity,
/ however, will be marked by It's alb.

MEASURED BY METRE
All Water the County Uses at Court
House-Portland Rates in Vogue.

A new water metre does duty at
the court house now, and keeps a
constant eye on the amount of wat
er the officials use. Incidentally,
too, it keeps a focus on Brother
Groves and his water bills.
The machine was installed De-
cember 1st. It registers every
drop of water that passes out OF
the pipe. Even a leak it keeps
cases on, and one that was wasting
water in the jail was reported by
the metre to Janitor Lane, who
with much trouble and time dis
covered the drip and stopped it.
The metre marks in gallons and
plain figures the amount of water
consumed, and 50 plainly that even
the Corvallis school board can
read it correctly. The prices are
the Portland rates, or 80 cents per
thousand gallons for the first 25,-
900 and IS cents from that up to
so, 900: The water is used for
the steam heat in the building, and
for the ab1utions and to quench the
thirst of the officials. 1t looks
now as if the metre would effect a
large saving in the water account.

INGRAMS ERRAND.

1t Is doubtful if Ingram has
claims on the state legislature for an
appropriation. It Is not very likely
that the legislative assembly will
aid him. It is true that his efforts
to wrest the Winchester from the
escaping Merrill is an act that the
state should recognize and reward.
The common wealth might have
future prison escapes, and its treat
ment of Ingram's act should be
such as to induce other convicts in
future emergencies to emulate it.
It Is true that the encounter with
Merrill cost Ingram a leg. But it
also gave him liberty, and liberty
with one leg is better any time than
life imprisonment in a penitentiary
with two. On this score, Ingram
is ahead in the account, and it is
probable that legislators will SO
regard it. In fact, back of it all is
that ugly memory of a fratricide,
which neither the noblest deed nor
the lapse of time can quite wipe
put, even in the presence of crutch-
es and lost leg.

grabbed for the breech o. Merrill S
Winchester, and at the instant the
desperate turned. The breech
was missed, and instead the g1eam-
ing barrel was quickly presented.
Ingram seized it, and it was dis
charged just as the muzz1e was
forced downward by Ingram. The
ball took effect in the left knee,
sbattering the bone completely.
VII I'm a few hours, the limb was
amputated three inches above the
wound. The rest of the story, in
Guiding Merrill's seizing Of the lad
der, ssand carrying it hirnse1fthrough
a window and out to the wall, the
daring escape Of the two despera-
does, their spectacular flight with
the subsequent tragic death of both,
is well remembered by all.
Ingram was shot at seven o clock
in the morning of June 9th Ten
days afterward, or on the 10Th of
June, he was pardoned by the gov
ernor, for the part taken in the en-
counter with Merrill.
Ingram was life prisoner. He
was sentenced from Linn county
for the murder of his brother. The
claim is made that there were mi
tigating details in the homicide, a
fact apparent by reason of the cir
cumstance that he was not hanged.
He served 10 years, four months
and ten days. He will be 43 years
!of age on his birthday. He says
that in prison, Tracy and Merrill
were not known as desperate men,
but that on the contrary, they
were always civil and well behaved,
due doubtless to their maturing
plans for an escape.

SUGAR JUMPED AGAIN
It Was Five Dollars per Sack, and IS
Now FiveSixty-Further Rise Expected

| The expected advance in the
price of sugar mentioned couple
of weeks ago IN the TIMES, has
come After a jump from IS to
$5 40 per sack the latter part of
last week, sugar went up inthe local
market Tuesday to $3.50, at which
figure it now stands. It is how
ever, believed by local dealers that
it viii make a sti1l iii further + advance
and they watch the telegraph and
market reports with much interest
How much higher sugar. may go
dealers do not pretend to say, but
that it will again advance, all seem
to believe. A reason for the rise is
thus set forth in one of the market
reports received by a local dealer:
"Sugar moved up 20 cents per
loo yesterday, an advance of 90
cents in the past week and 80 cents
in the past fortnight. The advance
which was expected covers all
grades, both cane and beet. One
reason for the strength of the sugar
market is said to be the short crop
of beet sugar in Europe, which in
Germany alone is estimated to
amount to 1900, 900 tons. This
shortage has caused material
advance of raw sugar all over the
world, particularly in Germany,
which seems to be the present con-
trolling factor in establishing the
values of sugar. The raw sugar is
today higher in Hamburg and
London than in the United States.
America is still compelled to draw
a good portion Of her supply from
Europe. The refners have to pay
this advance, and in order to gel
out even, they necessarily have to
advance the price of the refined
article. The prices that have been
ruling UP to about 90 days ago for
the raw article have been the low
est ever existing, and far below
the cost of production"
| Salt, concerning which there has
been much speculation among
local dealers, continues to be an un-
known and unguessable quantity
with respect to future prices. A
big combination is trying to corner
the Independent salt concerns OF
California. So far the deal has
not been coDsummated. If nego.
tiations fail. a local dealer predicts
that prices will decline; if it sue
ceeds, that prices will advance.
The condition leaves the question
Of future prices, badly mixed.

WANTS VALUATION RAISED

In Benton County Assessment-Cor
Wallis Business man Does-His View
A Corvallis business man talked
horse sense yesterday. He eaid:
"There ought to be horizon tai
raise in the assessment of B,nton
county. State taxes are no longer
6gueed on basis Of county valua-
tions. aud a raise would make no
difference in the amount of taxes
on tha. score. But it would ma ke a
mighty difference otherwise. New
corners are arriving. One of the first
questions they ask is, what is your
tax levy. Tell them it is IL mills
for county purposes and they near
ly fall dead. Tell them it iss six
mills, and they smile sweetly, and
begin to look for land to buy. They
find it, buy it and settle among us.'
Again one of these new comers
is asked So, 900 for piece of land.
He goes to the court house and
finds that it is only assessed at may
be $500. lie begins atonce to get
scared. He thinks he is asked too
much for the land. He fgnres it
out that he is being jobbed, and.
perhaps hurries out of the country.
Now raise In the valuation would
be equitable to all, if made hori-
zontally that is proportionate1y.
Itwould lower the tax lew. and
each taxpayers would have to pay
as many dollars and no more, as
before. 1t ought by all means to
be DONE

"Pickings From Puck" which

entertainment for everybody and ali
tastes are gratifed. The success Of
the play lies in the fact that so
many new and interesting novelties
are introduced. Popular songs are
sung and the chorus chimes in well
and with snappy dancing makes it
go, introducing some quick changes
of costume. Mr. Willard Simms who
is the chief tun-maker has no better
