CORVALLIS AND TELEPHONES
This Writer Wants to Build and own
Their own Lines.


Editor TIMES.
1t is understood that the citizens
of this town are about to contract
nth some Eastern firm or company
to inaugurate new telephone sys-
tenn for this county. To any far
sighted well wisher of our commu-
nifty, this cannot but seem very re
grettab1e. It is really very strange
that our people cannot build and
own and manage their own tele-
phone system the same as people dc
in other localities in this state, as
well as in many other states, with
out sucking the pap of Eastern cap
ita1 and filling themselves up on
wind and water. Of course the said
firm or company is to be very char
table and benevolent to us. They
will capitalize the new company al
only $4,000. of which the citizens
are to furnish the cash part and the
company is to furnish the brains
and the water. The said company
is then to have sole management
but it is so kind as to charge ne
salary only the incidental expenses
the railway and livery fares and no
tel bills of the manager his wife ano
ami1y, etc. And if. after a certain
time, the citizens are not satisfied
with the management, they can buy
out the eastern company at six pei
cent interest on its water, and owr
and run the telephone system them
selves, water and all.
What is the matter with the
people of Corvallis? Several times
they have been observed to run al
most over one another like swarms
of suckers, to gulp down the bait o1
a street faker or duask medicine
man. But surely this ought not te
be said of its prominent citizens
And yet do they not in the long rur
really expect something for nothing
from this eastern outfit, free use o1
money and service from some gener.
ous-hearted philanthropic Carnegie
''Here is the $4,000 which you gave
me, and here is $1,000 which you
did not give me, and / lay them here
together, and when I am through
we will make those fellows that
stand by and don't deal with us fee
like thirty cents.
Suppose the citizens do not like
the eastern management what are
they going to do aboutit? Suppose
the party with whom they are now
contracting turns out to be a mere
tool of the present local company
whose interests are so seriously
menanced by the Inauguration cf an
independent company, what then
Why not have the back bone and
moral stamina to build and manage
Our own lines to suit ourselves, like
the people of Alsea, Kings Valley,
Dallas, Albany, Independence and
other places? Can you for moment
imagine that in the long run an
eastern company is going to build it
cheaper for us than we can buy the
material and construct it ourselves.

Wha hae nae check but human law,
Are to few restricted;
But och! mankind are unco weak
And little to be trusted;
If self the wavering balance shake,
Tis rarely right adjusted"

~ Resume OF the Weeks
Proceedings.

Washington. Jan. Is. - For almost
five hours yesterday the senate de-
bated the Panama question and it was
still under consideration when the SEN
ate adjourned. The discussion arose
over a resolution looking to the arbi.
tration of Colombia's claims on ac-
count of the Panama revolution. II
was introduced early in the day by Mr..
Bacon and was met promptly by q
motion on the part Of Mr.. Lodge to
table it. This motion aroused the
feeling of senators on the Democratic
side, who considered the motion as in
tended to cut of debate. Finally Mr..
Lodge consented to withhold his mo.
tion and discussion proceeded through
out the day with the understanding
that it should be renewed again to-day.
Republican senators in their speeches
referred to the resolution as a con-
fession of wrong on the part Of the
United States and expressed the opin.
ion that any agitation of the question
at this time would give undue encour-
agement to the people Of Colombia
and misrepresept the attitude of this
country. Mr.. Bacon disavowed any
such intention and said that he ac-
copied the revolution as an accom-.
plished fact. A ready response to this
pronouncement came from Mr.. Hale.
and during the course of the debate
he and Mr.. Bacon practically agreed
on a declaration which MI. Hale inti-
mated that he would offer today in
the senate.
The house yesterday for more than
five hours considered the legislative.
executive and judicial appropriation
bill, but reached no conclusion on 1t.
A variety of topics, including Panama
and the tariff, were discussed during
the course of the debate.

Washington, Jan. 14-After a lively
debate lasting three hours the house
yesterday, in committee of the whole,
by a vote of rs to 65, struck out Of the
legislative, executive and judicial APP
preparation bill the paragraph provid'
ing for the salaries and expenses Of
the civil service commission and
clerks employed under the commits
sion., The action was taken on motion
Of Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa. He was sup
ported by both Republicans and Dem.
ocrats, both in speech and on the
vote. Those who spoke In opposition
to the civil service system as 1t now
exists were Messrs. Hepburn (Rep..
Iowa., Grosvenor (Rep., Ohio) and
Bartlett (Dem., Ga.), while among
those speaking for the service were
Messrs. Cooper (Rep, Wis., and Gil.
lett (Rep, Mass.).
Panama recognition vas the princl.
pal subject of contention in the sen
ate yesterday, and as on Tuesday, the
debate vas spirited. Mr.. Carmack
opened the proceedings with a set
speech in pointed criticism Of the
presidents course, and was followed
by Mr.. Spooner, the only other speaker
of the day, in defense Of the presl
dents action.
