Benton County Still Does Business on
Cash Basis.

They still pay cash at the court
house. Many improvements are in
progress and bills are heavy, but
Benton still has the wherewithal to
meet all bills. The county treas
urer. after session of court keeps a
supply of coin at hand, and small
warrants he pays off in cash giving
a check in redemption of the larger
ones. The old machine with which
he and his predecessors have so
long Endorsed warrants, mot paid
for want of funds is becoming
rusty with disuse. 1t will however
have to be oiled up and put into
service again, for the present cash
system cannot prevail but a few
weeks longer. No more taxes are
likely to come until the 1st of
October, when the last installment
OF. those who have paid but half will
tall due. The county treasurer has
on hands now about $500 in
the general fund, applicable to
all ordinary bills. It will be sufi-
cient to pay perhaps all of next
months bills, if not more, in addi-
ton to paying off a considerable
amount in warrants that have not
been presented for payment.
Many of those to whom warrants
are issued, seem in no hurry to pre-
sent them. Of course warrants
draw no interest, and holders make
nothing by continuing to ho,d
them.
A curious fact of the same SORTS,
that about $500 worth of warrants
called in by the fnal published de-
mand of the treasurer for presenta-
ton of all outstanding warrants,
have not appeared at the treasurer's
Office. The call was made several
months ago, when the county re-
sumed specie payment, The inter-
est was stopped at that time. 1t is
either possible that the holder has
not heard of the call, or that he has
no use for the money.

NEARLY FINIsHRD NOW.
Big Rooms With Pretty Tints- Opens
Very Soon Hotel CORVALLIS.

i
In a very short time, Hotel Cor
wallis will be ready for occupancy.
Two cooks, who are to preside ov-
er the culinary department OF the
new hostelry are already drawing
salary, The opportunity to secure
them appeared some time ago, and
in order to hold them for the places
they were at once put on full pay.
They are both in Portland, where
they are patiently waiting for the
order to come to Corvallis to take
up their work.
In two weeks, the big hotel may
be opened to the public. The ev-
ent may not occur for three weeks.
or even longer. Much depends on
whether or not the management
waits for the third story to be com
pleted. Nothing has been done on
that floor yet. Even the partitions
have not been put in. On the two
lower floors, however, it is diff
ferent. Everything there will be
in ship shape in two weeks. The
plastering on both floors is almost
complete. The gray coat is all on
and only kalsomiming finish with
pretty tints is to be added. In sew
eral Of the rooms, this has been
done. The effect is very elegant.
Some of them are in pink, others
in delicate blue or green. while the
halls are mostly in cream. The
finish of the plaster is in rough,
which is now SO popular among
builders.
No hosiery in the Willamette
Valley will be more attractive than
Hotel Corvallis if the furnishing is
in keeping with the finishing. The
plan of the building is par-excellent
The design was by noted archi-
tect in Nashville, Tennessee. A
pretty Office in the middle of the
west front has splendidly lighted
and attractive court in the rear.
Through sliding doors from the
court and hallway the suberb din
ing room is reached. Ascent to
the upper floors is by a spiral stair.
way off the court. The rooms on
the second are large, airy and on
lines that attract the traveller seek
ing for a place where he can rest
and refresh himself. A tour now
of the rooms and halls suggests to
the observer that he may be view
ing building in a goodly city,
rather than in an ordinary college
town.
Mrs. Hamme1, who is to be host
ess of the new hotel, is already &C.
cupying rooms in the building.
She expects to furnish and main
tain the place in style beftting
its Character and pretensions. Fif-
teen men are at work on the build

wrote the college. offering to con-
tribute $3.50 for the purpose
of paying the expenses of the stud

freight. They are accompanied by
DR.. Withycombe who will explain
the fine points of all fine stock dis

TRUESDALE TO RETIRE.?
RumOr That HalIstead Is to Become Presi-
dent OF the Lackawanna Railroad.

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 1e.-An evening
paper, the editor of which has always been
close to former General Manager and Third
Vice-President William P. Hallstead OF
the Lackawanna Railroad, published an
article here this evening to the effect that
at the coming annual meeting Of the di-
rectors to be held In New York there will
be an important change in the manage
ment Of the road.
The principal feature Of the rumors is
that Mr.. Hallstead will be chosen presi-
dent Of the company to succeed w. H.
Truesdale. who came from the Rock Island
road to the Lackawanna when the control
OF the line passed from the Sloan interests.
These reasons are given for the antici-
pated change:
The broken health Of Mr.. Truesdale;
recent events which have strained the re-
lations between the president and the
directorate; the European trip Of Mr.. Trues-
dale, which is said to be the beginning
Of events all looking to his early retire.
ment as an official Of the company. The
officials OF the company here when seen to-
day all appeared to be ignorant Of any
coming change in the presidency Of the
road.

SENATOR DIETRICH INDICTED.
Charge That He Accepted Bribe for .
Post ONCE appointment.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. le.-The Federal
Grand Jury, sitting here returned indict-
ments to-day against United States Senator
Charles NJ. Dietrich of Nebraska and Jacob
Fisher, postmaster at Hastings. The in
dictments were the result of the investi-
cation made by the jury into the charge
that Fisher paid Dietrich money and gave
him property for procuring his appoint
ment as postmaster at Hastings.
The penalty provided by law for such
offences as those charged in the indict-
ments Is Imprisonment for not more than
two years, a fine of not more than 81 900
and disqualification from holding office
under the laws Of the United States.
1t is said that never before in the history
Of the country has United States Senator
been indicted by Federal Grand Jury
on such charges. Senator Dietrich Is in
Washington. Several other charges of
trafflcking in stmasterships preferred
against Senator Dietrich are being investi-
gated by the Grand Jury, and it will create
no surprise here if further indictments
are returned.

LA, the Minister Of Panama, received a note
tonight from NJ. Jusserand, the French Am.
bassador, informing him that France had
recognized the Government of the Republic
Of Panama as an independent sovereignty
This is full recognition, similar to that
given by the United States when President
Roosevelt received Mr.. Bunau Varilla, last
Friday. The Minister will be formally re-
ceived by NJ Jusserand tomorrow.
In an interview between NJ. Jusserand
and Mr.. Bunau-Varilla to-day, the latter
gave assurances that all concessions granted
by Colombia to French citizens, including the
Panama Canal franchise, and which affect
Isthmian territory, would be respected by
the new republic. This was all that France
required to accord recognition. NJ, Jusse-
rand telegraphed his Government Of the
assurances given and prompt response
was received from Paris.

alarmed and was sending troops to the 18TH
mus. This, however, was received two hours 9
and fifteen minutes after the independence
OF Panama was formally recognized, and

That he has been advised that II the Unit ed

MRS. JACK GARDENERS MUSEUM.
No Sign That the Palace Is to De Opened
to the Public Again.

BosToN, Nov. 18.-Considerable comment
has been caused by the failure of Mrs
Jack Gardner t o reopen her famous museum
in the Back Bay Fens to the public As
many Of the valuable works or art acquired
abroad were admitted to this country free
of duty, because it was assert ed that they
were to be exhibited in public museum,
the public feels that it is about time to have
a view.
The museum was opened formally on
Feb, 20, l9Os and remained open four DAYS
amonth through March and April, the select
public being admitted at 81 a head. After
the announced open days in April the
museum was closed and no more tickets
were sold. Many persons who were un-
able for one cause or another to attend any
Of the open days last spring have been
making inquiries. but they have been un-
able to obtain any definite information.
So far as can be ascert aimed, the museum
will not open again until January Mrs.
Gardner, il is underst ood, int imat ed, when
the museum closed last spring that she
intended to open it again in January.
Since then the agency which has the dis
pensing Of the tickets has received no

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1e-It is semi
oficially admitted that tension in the Russo
Chinese relations has arisen over the re-
occupation Of Mukden, but 1t is declared
that rupture is not anticipated.
PEKlN. Nov. 1o.-The attitude Of the
Government Of Manchuria is one Of helpless
distress. The Manchus seem to realize
that the loss Of Mukden, the seat Of the
present dynasty, will possibly endanger
the succession to the throne. The Dowager
Empress Is described as being greatly
distressed.
After applying to the American and
Japanese legations for help the Board Of
Foreign Affairs has concluded that It's only
course rs to await the result Of the Russo

that the President of Colombia and his
secretary are on board. A message to
the passengers met with the response that

their way to New York. It is learned, how
ever. that they are bound for Washington
