j. O. Wilson.

/ ]. o. Wilson, republican can
didate for county clerk, is a ma
tive of this city, having been
born in Corvallis in 1861, and
here he has lived ever since. He
is probably as we'll, and certainly
as favorably, known as any man
in the county. As a boy he OBJ
tanned the ordinary education CIV
en- in the public schools. He
also attended one or two winters
at the Agricultural College, de-
voting his time in the summer to
working on the Yaquina railroad
with a team furnished by his
father. This work he performed
without pay. Others also do
mated work, some free, some for
pay, but he performed this work
uncomplainingly, as duty.
After leaving school he entered
the employ of Charley Logsdon
in Blodgett Valley, and worked
on the farm for number of
months to the great satisfaction
of Mr.. Logsdon, only leaving
that job to take charge Of large
tarm in the valley which he con-
Quoted successfully for something
like year. Out of his earnings
up to this time. he had saved
Ienough money to carry him
through a business course at the
Portland Business College, where
he went the following winter
and took the entire business
course taught by Prof. Arm
strong, leaving that school with
the best of recomnendatio is,
and diploma. Upon his return
to Corvallis from the Business
College, Mr.. Wilson went to
| work for his father, the late B.
| w. Wilson, who was then coun-
ty clerk, in the clerks office,
where he served as deputy for
four years, learning thoroughly
all the details of that Office, and
proving himself a most painstak-
ing, efficient and reliable deputy
clerk. ---
| While in the clerks Office Mr..
Wilson had a number of good Of
fers of employment in other bus
mess, but he felt it a duty to re-
main with his father in the Of
fee, and where he was needed
owing to the large volume of
business then passing through
that office.
1t is but proper to call atten-
! ton to the fact that the
county clerks Office in those
days transacted the official
business of a county more than
twice the size of the Benton coun-
ty of today, and also contained
the records of deeds and mort
cages now kept in the county re-
corder's Office. In othe words,
the Alerk's> office before the di-
vision of this county performed
practically the same work now
transacted by a county clerk in
Lincoln county and a deputy, a
clerk and deputy in Benton coun-
ty, and a county recorder in Ben
ton county.
In 1856, Mr.. Wilson was Of
fered the position of bookkeeper
in the bank of Hamilton, Job q
Co., which he accepted. He
served in this position for seven
years.
For the past several years Mr..
Wilson has had charge of the
farm belonging to his wife, and
demonstrated that sound busl-
ness methods and untiring indus
trv will make a success of farm
ing as we'll as OF other lines OF
business. He is regarded through
out the county today as one of
its successful farmers and stock
raisers.
There is not better qualified,
more conscientious, painstaking,
obliging man for the Office OF
county clerk in the state of Ore
eon, than Off Wilson. There IS
no doubt but that he will be
elected by handsome majority.

DEFENDS IT'S NEAT LAW.
NEW GERMAN REGULATION BASED ON
SANITARY REASONS

Berlin March 30-The North German Ga
zette" in its issue OF this morning contains an
authoritative expression Of the governments 20
stion in relation 20 the prohibition of meats pre-
pared with boracic acid with special reference 70
the assertion that the prohibition is aimed
against the United States
The article begins by calling attention
70 the statements in the press that the
view prevails in the United States that the
prohibition is due TO economic rather than to
sanitary causes, adding that such an assump-
ton is wholly incorrect. The paper asserts that
purely sanitary consideration dictated the pro
hibiton OF boraX and other chemicals. and that
the Imperial Health Office. which is COMPOSED
of prominent hygiensts from all parts OF the
empire. is pronouncedly in favor OF the pro-
hibition
It says further that the Paris HygienicaI Con
gress OF 1900 declared against the use az all
antiseptic substances for the treatment of fresh
food materials. Borax has come into extensive
use in the German meat industry, says the
mand further permission for the use OF borax
Nevertheless, the government, for weiehty sa nj
tary reasons, has decided to prohibit its en-
ployment in the preparation of meats and for
commercial purposes generally. This naturally
makes II necessary to exclude foreign meats
prepared with the forbidden chemicals Other
wise foreign meats would have the preference
over those Of domestic production
There can be absolutely no talk" concludes
the article, about the measure being especialIv
directed against the United States II is equally
against the domestic and the foreign product
Moreover, Germany is not the only State nro-
hibiting meat so prepared as in France
Belgium and Switzerland a similar prohibition
is already In force"

CHRISTMAS'S STORY FALSE,
FROM A HIGH OFFICIAL OF
THE DANISH GOVERNMENT.

Copenhagen. March 29.-In an interview with
a representative of The Associated Press to-day
on the subject of Congressman Richardson
resolution for the appointment Of committee
to investigate charges made by Captain Christ
mas in connection with the negotiations for the
sale of the Danish West Indies high official
said:
Neither Christmas nor Gron ever obtained
credentials agents for the sale of the Danish
West Indies. They never negotiated with w ash-
ngton, and hare in no way influenced the nego-
uations. These were conducted through Lau-
rits s. SwensOn. the United States Minister here
and Constantin Brun, the Danish Minister at
Washington. The Danish Government is under
no obligation to any private persons in connec-
tion with the sale Hence, commission 1S
due or will he paid.
The alleged scandal is the result of quarrel
claimed that he effected the sale, and that.
hence, he wanted a commission. Christmas
made a similar claim. accompanied by conr-
Dental report to the Danish Government. con-
tanning statements regarding bribery, etc, as
recently published in Washington. Most OF the
report was printed by the Danish press some
time ago. GrOn, seeing it was hopeless to eX-
peCt a commission. started for washington
with Christmas's report in his pocket, boasttng
to the dnti-sae advocates here that he would
be revenged by influencing Congress TO decline
TO pass the appropriation for the purchase OF
the islands.
Before the beginning Of the negotiations
Christmas and GrOn actually tried 10 become
connected with the matter as agents. The
Premier, DR.. HOTrlng, gave them some encour-
agement, and private parties favorinS the sale
furnished small amounts for their travelling ex-
penses- Dr Horring was indiscreet- He dis
CUSsed a commission, but bribery not sug-
gcsted He and the other parties speedily dis
covered that they had been imposed upon, and
broke of their connection with Christmas and
Gron, considering them TO be without influence
Christmas has been forced 70 declare that
his report of bribery false.
