The Proper Sentiment.

Guy E. Moore, son of the late
NJ. A. Moore of this place, won
the oratorical contest at Corvallis
on last Friday. Mr.. Moore was
sick at the time of the contest,
but his young scheolmates car
ried him to the college and in
such a condition he won the con-
test, which now enables him to
enter as a representative of the
Agricultural college to the state
oratorical contest which takes
place at Eugene in March. It is
truly gratifying to know that our
Prineville youth, when given a
chance and placed alongside those
youths born, bred and reared at
other places is their equal, if not
their superior. Prineville takes
a just pride in Guys efforts, and
he can rest assured their sympa-
thies and good will go with him,
and hopes he will come out at
the top when he completes with
the chosen representatives of
other Oregon colleges at Eugene
in March:

enee, our resources remain uHdeyeloped,
our industries are crippled. and our pros
perity greatly retarded.
When the natural resources of this
valley are considered, when our trade in
wood, lumber, flour, stock, farm pro-
ducts, and the travel of our people are
taken into careful recognition. present
and prospective, wa thinkit hut just to
ask, and right to expect, that the road be
extended so as to accommodate our
people.
Another fact TO be considered ID this |;
The Southern Pacific people claim this
territory and have a road already within
about miles Of the Hoskins' sawmiIl,
the point to which we want the line ex-
tended, at present, and from current re-
ports are desirous of holding it against
all competitors, hence we have right to
ask for this extension.
Again: AS trains are now run to Air
lie, it would involve no extra expense
upon the company, either for equipments
or men, to supply our people with this
much-needed service.
Trusting this subject will receive the
early consideration of yourself and asse.

Death of Mrs. Geo. e. Fish.

Mrs. George E. Fish died Sat-
urday morning, February Fl,
1903, at the home of her mother,
Mrs. Pete Sehlosser, inthis city.
Mrs. Fish had been ill for a long
time with consumption. Only
recently she and her husband re-
turned from California, where
they spent several months near
Los Angeles, in the hope of i'm
proving her health, but it was of
no avail. Mrs. Fish was born in
this city, June IS, 1869, and was
therefore nearly "a years of age
at the time of her death. She
had resided most of her life in
this city. They lived few years
in Corvallis and for the last few
years have been living in Spo-
kane. She was a woman of low
able character and had many
friends. She leaves, besides her
husband, Geo. E. Fish, noth-
er, one brother and two sisters.
The latter are Mrs. M. D. Phil
lips, of Oregon City, Mrs. Kola
Neis and Harry Schlosser, of this
city.
The funeral will be held at the
residence of the Mother, at the
corner of Third and Ferry streets,
Monday, at o'clock P. m.-Al-
bany Herald.
Mrs. Fish was niece of Mrs.
Philip Phile, of this city. She
has many friends in Corvallis,
who offer their sircerest sympa-

Kings Valley Wants Railroad.

The people of Kings Valley
are extremely anxious that the
S. P. company extend its line
from Airlie to Hoskins' sawmill, !,
and they are making earnest eff
forts to have this extention made.
In furtherance of this project, Mr..
T. T. Vincent has addressed the
following letter to Vice-President
Koeh1er, of the S. P. company,
at Portland:
MY DEAR SIR: On behalf of the peo-
pie of Kings Valley, address this letter
of inquiry to you, concerning the pros
poets of an early extension of the Airlie
branch of the S. P. R. R. line to this
valley. No doubt you have had this
subject under consideration In the past
and can, by this time, give US some en-
couraging information.
For number of years it has not SEEM
ed just right to us that no effort was
made to supply this valley with this
much-needed extension OF your line.
Railroad building in other parts of this
state, as well as in various portions of
the Northwest, is receiving attention that
are not any more deserving of it than
this valley. For lack of outside railroad
connection, our people suffer inconveni-

Where Increase Is.

A taxpayer of Benton county
recently asked the GAZETTE
where the increase came in the
tax levy this year, that it is high
er than the levy of a year ago.
"Why," said he, 81 read in both
the Corvallis papers last spring,
that the county was practically
out OF debt, and now our tax
levy is higher than that of last
year.''
The question Is one of interest
to ali taxpayers, and We publish
In answer figures gathered from
the record.
The exhibit of the county's
financial condition for the period
ending April 1st, 1902, shows
that the county warrants out
standing, estimated accrued in
terest and state tax unpaid,
amounted to $1z7o2. 50. The
cash in the hands of the treasur-
er and sheriff, exclusive of the
road fund, was $13,o33.8I, leav-
ing an indebtedness of 81, 668. 78.
So the papers were justified in
saying at that time that the
county was practically out OF
debt.
