HONOR IS UNCLAIMED
Oregonian Says Corvallis Has the
Most Right to Championship.

! In the matter of college foot.
ball championship in the West
there is more of a nuddle than
ever, and as things now stand il
is hardly possible that any pre-
sumptuous eleven will claim the
honors on the comparative show
ings that have been made. Wash
ington would like to claim the
championship, but cannot con-
sistently do so. For instance,
Washington defeated Corvallis
earlier in the season, S to o. Ne
vada tied with Stanford and beat
Berkeley, but was in turn de-
feated by Washington, to o;
Puget Sound, 10 to o, and Cor
wallis, IS to o. Here we have a
case of Washington beating Neva-
da by smaller score than tt e
Oregon farmers, who previously
went down before the men from
the North. Truly there is little
use of a 'dope" book when it
comes to estimating anything re-
garding football. One game is
hardly sufficient to determine the
merits of any two teams. .-Tele-
gram.
The Oregonian in speaking of
the Nevada teams career, says:
''Nevada had taken a slump,
possibly not before the Seattle
game, but certainly since then.
At all events, after their career
in the Northwest, if any team is
to claim the Coast championship
it is Corvallis, and that team has
not had the presumption to claim
the honors. The only conclu-
sion is that there is no champion
ship on the Coast this year,
If the football season was now
beginning instead of having end
ed, the matter of settling the
Coast championship would be an
easy matter. Corvallis ended
the season in such a whirlwind
style that it could have claimed
the Coast championship and
backed up her claim by clear
string of victories.

DEATH OF B. P. CARDWELL
An Old Corvallis Citizen Passes
Away in Portland

Byron 2. Cardwell, an Oregon
pioneer of 1852, and one of Port
lands most widely known citi-
zens, died at his home at 3o!s
Fourth street, at IT'S O'Clock
Thursday afternoon. In Angus
he was stricken with heart
trouble, which resulted in his
death. He was born in Spring
field, ILL.,, March 3, 1892, and
was the son of VIM. Lee and
Mary Ann Biddle Cardwel1.
At the age of 20 he accom-.
panied his parent to Oregon, driv.
ing his own OK team across the
plains, and arrivinga at Marysville,
now known as Corvallis, on DC.
tober s, 1852. The family took
up donation land claims on what
is now called Cardwe1l Hill, and
Byron Cardwell raised blooded
horses and cattle in partnership
with his uncle, the late Hamil-
ton Campbell. With the late w.
B. Carter. formerly editor of the
GAZETTE, he drove a large pack
string of mules between Corval-
lis, Yreka, Cal, and Jacksonville,
Or, for several years. In 1856
he was married to Miss Abbie M.
Clarke. In 1858 he moved to
Portland and formed a copartner-
ship with Joseph Buchtel in the
photograh business, which con-
tinued until he was appointed a
Deputy Collector OF Internal
Revenue by President Lincoln
about 1861, which position he
held for Fl years.
He was a lifelong republican,
and an earnest worker for the
party's success. During Cover
nor Moody's administration he
was appointed Police Commis-
sioner for Portland, and by sue
cessive reflections by the people
remained as such for nine years.
In 1894 he was elected a member
of the state legislature. At the
last election he was compelled by
committee of citizens to accept
the seat in the city council for
the Fifth Ward.
His religion was the golden
rule, and it is doubtful if he had
an enemy on earth. He was a
man of the strictest business in
tegrity, and his 'sword was as
good as his bond"
He is survived by his wife and
his son, DR.. Herbert W.; by three
brothers, DR.. James R. and Chas.
H., of this city, and Richard H.
Cardwell of San Francisco, and
by two sisters, Mrs. Olena M.
Murray, and Mrs. Martha A..
Dalton. The late DR.. William
B. Cardwell and the late Mrs.
Geo. E. Cole were his brother
and sister. A daughter Alice,
died in 1868.

ABE LOGAN ACQUITTED
Judge Scores Jury for Returning
Such a Verdict.

Logan, the Indian accused O.
numbering U. S. Grant, upon the
Siletz reservation, dumbfounded
the court and everyone who heard
the evidence in the case by re-
turning verdict of not guilty
yesterday morning. Judge Bell
niger took occasion to express his
surprise at the outcome, and also
to administer gentle scoring to
the jury for returning such de-
cision. He then scored the In
dian, and told him that he was
guilty of Implication in the crime
even though he had been declar-
ed innocent by the jury. The
judge declared that the jury was
Influenced in coming to the de-
cision it did by pity for the wife
and children of the defendant.
When the verdict was an
nounced in the courtroom an
audible expression of disapproval
of the result went over the entire
audience. To those who had
listened to the evidence against
both men accused of the crime,
it seemed a traversity upon JUS
tice that Logan should be set free
and Martin, against whom there
was less substantial evidence,
should have to serve time for
manslaughter.
After listening to the verdict
the judge turned to the jury and
said:
"This has been failure of JUS
tice. Out OF respect and feelieg
for the wife and little ones of this
defendant, you have been led to
acquit. Such a verdict as this
must result disaslrously to all
residents of the Siletz reserva-
ton"
To the acquitted prisoner he
addressed these words:
Logan you are acquitted; but
1 think you are a bad man and
that you killed Grant. The jury
gave you the benefit of a reason
able doubt, but had l been on the
jury would at least have
brought in a verdict of man
slaughter. The blood of Grant
is on your hands, and I give you
fair warning that your escape
from the punishment that you no
doubt deserve. does not argue that
you would go free a second time,
and I advise you to keep out of
this court. -
The displeasure Of the Indians
at the result of Martins trial was
increased by the result of 4ogan's.
They did not hesitate IL express
it.as their opinion that there had
been slip in justice somewhere,
and that it was the height of in
justice to convict Martin upon the
weak testimony against him, and
allow a man against whom the
strongest evidence was introduced
to 60 free. BY some of the Fed
eral officials, trouble is looked for
among the Red Men as a result
of the acquittal of Logan. He
is not liked by other residents of
the reservation, it is stated, and
one government officer said that
he would not be the least sur
prised if Logan were killed by
the Indians in revenge. The ex-
pressed belief among the Indians
who have been in attendance
upon the trial is that Logan is
the guilty man, and that he killed
Grant himself and attempted to
lay the crime at Martins door to
shield himself. Logan, it is said,
bears bad reputation upon the
reservation, and the other Indians
do not like him. -Oregonian.

FELONY CONVICTS
TO BRING GOOD PRICE.
May He Leased at as Much as 1920
Per Man.

Atlanta, Oct. 14.-At noon tomorrow
the Prison Commission will open bids
for the labor of 1.400 or more felony
convicts, to be leased for a five-year
period under the new act. Indications
point to the fact that the bids will go
considerab bly, above 5000 year per man.
and some estimates put the price as
high as $21O and 1920.
Under the present lease some of the
sub-lessees are getting as high as $240
for the men. The state will get more
than double the price il is receiving
now. which averages about 800 per
man. 1t is said there are manv new
bids, coming from parties who have not
heretofore employed convict labor. This
together with the fact that some 700 of
the felony convicts, all of the avail
able short term men. will go to the
thirty-one counties which have applied
for them for work on the roads. will
make the bidding for the remaining
1,400 pretty sharp. and will work great
~ to the advantage of the state.
The MillHaven Company of Savan-
nah was one of the first concerns to
put in a bid.

There was a large attendance. and

was boarded Saturday night by a posse
of armer men, who got on at the Sigh
