priation by the leglslatu reg of 1899 Of

Mr. Woof o ks G zet'e, says t q
Times told only half the truth about
the bank tax matter now pending be-
fore the county court. What the Times
told was the truth. the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth. AS presi.
dent of the bank. Mr. Woodcock did
urge Sheriff Burnett to make a rebate
Of taxes on certain bank shares, and
Sheriff Burnett declined to do SO. Then
Mr. Woodcock did appeal the matter
to the county judge and county COM
missioner, sitting as commissioners
court, and In that court the matter Is
pending. This Is what the Times said,
and all this the Gazette admits.
Albany Democrat:-In one of
the greatest field meets ever held in
Oregon, Albany College defeated the
Oregon Agricultural College at Cor
Wallis last Saturday afternoon, After
almost five hours OF hard work dur
ing which speed, skill, nerve and en-
durance were tested to the utmost
and IA different events had each
been closely contested, Albany had
scored 68 points against 58 for OAC.
The score was very close throughout |
the entire meet. The result was
doubtful until the next to the last
event when the Albany runners took |
all three places in the mile run and
the safety mark was passed.
The Gazette says Billy Kuotts is
entitled to some Of the credit for the
TACT that Sheriff Burnett has been an
officer. What funny claim.
The only reason why Sheriff Burnett
was economical for the taxpayers is
because he Is competent. and even i.
under the new tax law is able to con.
duct the Office without deputy. In
nearly all ott er counties special dep
uties we're allowed on account Of the
lew law. In Portland there were'38.
Sheriff Burnett did not even ask for
,ne. Yet, while 1t admits that Sheriff
Burnett is entitled to credit, the
aazstte says Billy Knots ought to
laye some too. Where; how; why?
