DYING HORSES.
Two Sick and one Dead in Corvallis
Is not Considered Epidemic.


Corvallis owners of horses are
having woes. William Tunison
lost an animal the other day, and
yesterday morning it. was believed
that the carriage horse owned by
Williem Yates was dyiug. At the
same time horse owned by John
w Ing1e was down in the barn with
no expectation of a recovery.
So far no one has naimed the
ailment. The Tunison horse was
down in the stable for a couple of
days, and was then COTTON on its
feet. 1t was supposed to be much
better, and an early recovery was
expected. When the owner went
out to the barn the next morning,
the animal was dead.

ROCK FOR ROADS.
Operations Conducted Under Tent
on the Philomath Road.

Out on the Philomath road, a
quarter of a mile south of the high
way, and between the Hayes and
Thomas Cooper farms is huge
tent. It is Is feet square, and in
The distance looks like it might be a
camp meeting or circus. It is
however, neither, but is spread
there as protection from the
weather, while workmen under
meath it get out rock for use in next
summers road work in the vicinity.
The rock is later to be reduced to. a
size for road purposes by the county
rock crusher, which is now at the
farm of Thomas Cooper.
The rock operations are under
direction of Leroy McReyonlds,
who has contract with the county
court for supplying Benton County
with 200 to 900 tons of stone for
road purposes. He is to receive 40
cents per yard. delivered on the
dump at the quarry. The county
is also to pay John w. Ing1e who
owns the ledge, three cents per
load for the stone afterit is crushed.
The spot from where the rock is
taken is only about quarter of a
mile from the Phi1omath road and
the grade is down hill, SO that after
tine rock is fualy crushed, the deli
very will be easy and Inexpensive.
In getting the rock out of the ledge
blasting will be necessary. Four
men are at present employed on the
work, but when blasting begins the
force will be doubled.

AFTER A LONG YEAR
The Hunting Club Rises to an Appre.
citation of It's Duty.

Now and then light echo from
the booming of the famous mat
hunts of the past two winters re-
verberates on the ear. Notwith-
standing the merriment and un-
al1oyed good cheer which prevailed
about the banquet board after these
! hunts, any suggestion of a re-
petition of the contests is frowned
down by those who participated in
former contests for glory only.
To such, the banquets were alto
gether enjoyable, but it is true
that-to them blistered feet, worn
out limbs, empty stomachs and
many other disabilities incurred
in the weary tramp after game that
was too elusive for their prowess,
was quite the contrary So it
seems that there is to be no match
hunt this season, by what is occas-
ionally termed the Amateur Hunt
ing Club of Benton county.
By way of further preliminary
to what is to be said, it should be
stated that On the hunts referred to
Jesse Spencer distinguished him
self more than any other partici-
pant In each of the three con-
tests Mr.. Spencer secured blue
jay, thus each time increasing the
total score Of his associates by three
points. Mr.. Spencer's individual
score was not regarded as phenom-
ina11y large. but the advantage
lay in the fact that it was phenom-
inally sure In consideration of
the substantial and unfailing as
sistance Mr.. Spencer provided his
fellows in the contests, andthe cred
it which his prowess reflected on
the association, it became the unan-
imous wish of the club that fit
ting testimonial be awarded that
gentleman. Accordingly a COM
mittee was appointed to decide
upon the best means of .signifying
the clubs appreciation. Not long
since, this committee reported and
its suggestion was heartily adopted.
The decision was to present Mr.
Spencer with a mounted b1uejay, a
plan which was carried out Thurs
day evening. Mr.. Spencer was
much affected by the presentation
TO which he responded in a fearful
though determined voice. The
mounted bird is on exhibition
Mr. Spencer's barber shop. Thus
the hunting club has given just
though tardy recognition of the
proWess of its most distinguished
member.

WooD-NoT GEER.

The advice of Lieutenant Wood
candidate of the democrats for SEN
ator to vote for Geer as a vindi-
cation of'the Mays law is in theory
lofty and commendable ideal in
self-government, but it is far too
utopian for practical politics of the
present Oregon model The Mays
law is a wholesome and ought to
be, an effective measure. Even
among the politicians of Ohio it
serves the purpose of placing Sc
lection of United States senator in
the hnnds of the people, and if
Oregon politics were not of the cut
throat variety, it would do the
same thing in Webfoot.
But an every day and practical
view of the law is that it was never
intended for the candidates of the
minority to be instructed by the
June vote to support the candidate
of the majority in the Legislature.
The indicated choice of each demo-
crat was Wood, not Geer for sena-
tor, and for the present at least,
Lieutenant Wood is the man they
want voted for.

C0L0RAD0's WAY.

The country has delightful
spectacle in the scenes transpiring
at the Colorado state house. A
senator is to be elected there, and
aspiring politicians have maneuvered
until there are now two senates and
two hodses.
The democrats, according to the
election returns have two majority
on joint ballot, being in control of
the senate, but the republicans have
a majority in the house. The latter
TO offset the democratic majority
unseated a sufficient number of
democrats in the house to equalize
the regular democratic majority,
and the net result is chaos and an
archy. The condition makes
travesty of1aw and order, and sug-
gests a doubt after all, if self-gov-
ernment is not a failure. Fortunately
all states are not like Colorado, and
all statesmen are not political pet
tifoggers.
The one redeeming figure in the
Denver situation is the attitude of
the republican governor, who re-
fuses to call out the militia to as
sist his own partisans in their strug-
gle, declaring that he was elected
governor to serve all the people
and that he will not use the power
of his Office for partisan advan-
tage.

pOGRESS OF PRESENT
= COTTON CROP REVIEWED

The northern part OF the State looks
forward to a large yield, but the
boll-weevil and the boll-worm seem
to haye wrought great damage
elsewhere.
Very little, if any, of the crops
original wardness has been
made up, and the date of frost will
therefore be supremely important.
Many sections complain of search
tn of labor for picking, as the migra-
ton of negroes to towns and public
works has been constant.
! The situation may be summed up,
| as it was summed up in the last re-
port, by saying that with late
frost the yield will be satisfactory
while early killing temperatures vii
imply one of the most farreaching
disasters ever known.
These reports are brought dowr
to the noon of Saturday, Aug. 70.

Washington, Sept, 1t is ac-
cepted as fact fairly we'll settled
that President Roosevelt will be
nominated for President in 1904, but
there is a general belief and one
growing steadily that he will be de-
feated.
Had some one asked a few months
ago as 10 the probable outcome of
the next election, the answer from
conservative politicians would have
been that Mr.. Roosevelt probably
would succeed himself. The ausw-
pr today is that he has not an even
chance.
Well-iniormsd politicians from all
parts o the country assert that the
deposition to Mr.. Roosevelt which
obtains in New Aork City-from
4he Wall street element, so-called--
has extended to financial ccnters in
all parts of the country.

confidence that If the Democrats
