Voters Urged to Register.

The Democrats of this State have
shown much indifference in the past
few years about registering and vot.

that it is very important that every
effort be made to get them to regis.
ter ON the first Monday in October,
the last day for registering, so as to

election on the Sth day of November.
therefore address this communica.
tion to you and would ask that YOU
use every means in your power to
get the Democrats of your county to
register on the first Monday in Octo
Der.
The indications now are that the
Republicans of this State will put
out an electoral ticket and also candi-
dates against all of our Congressman
who have been nominated. OF course
we all kvow that the great cause of
all this Indifference on the part of
the voters is produced by the prevail.
ing feeling that the primary elections
settle the fact of our candidates, and
our party III this State is invinciole.
We are inyinciblc if our people will
register and vote, but not otherwise
In the first primary this year there
were over 100000 votes cast and
10000 III the second primary.
therefore trust that you will do all in
your power to get the Democrats Of
your county to register, and also get
your county papers to urge it,

There will be fine exhibits Of horses

ever seen in the Slate, except, per
haps, some Of the State Fairs.
The railroads have given a rate of

points in the State, aud the attend.
ance will be very large.
We feel satisfied the progressive
citizens of Anderson will make great
success Of the new undertaking.
Anderson has wonderful natural re.
sourses, and the county foir will be
revelation even to the natives
What is the matter with Pickens
organizing county fair! Pickcns
county people would take great pride
in just such Il local enterprise. About
the only thing needful to seeing n
county fair launched in Pickens coun-
ty next fall, is for about dozen good
substantial citizens of executive abili
ty to get their heads together and
formulate the scheme Our columns
are open for suggestions from Pick.
ems county citizens in regard to this
progressive step. Let us hear from
you.

A Pioneers Birthday.

On December IS the MANY
friends of Mrs. Martha Porter
gathered at her residence six
miles southwest of Philomath to
celebrate the oSth anniversary of
her birth. The evening passed
very pleasantly with games and
eating OF popcorn. Mrs. Porter's
friends presented her with pieced
blocks for a quilt. One feature
of the entertainment was a very
nice luncheon. At a late hour
the guests departed wishing
Grandma many more birth days
and hoping they could help to
successfully surprise her another
year.
Mrs. Porter is an old and high
ly respected resident of Benton
county, having lived in this
county since 1848 at which time
she, with others, crossed the
plains from Missouri with OK
teams and settled nine miles
south of where Corvallis now
stands and has lived within a
few miles of Corvallis ever since.

vote as follows:
Democrats, for bills AIT votes.
Democrats, against the bills,
CAB votes. Republicans, for the
bills LOGS votes. Republicans
against the bills, none.
In line with this showing
made by the last Democratic
administration 1854 pensioners
were dropped from the rolls and
23,7O2 pensions were reduced,
because the Democratic leaders
asserted that after from one to
four years marching, fighting,
starving and freezing, it was
found that they were not suffi-
GENTLY disabled to hold the pen
sions which a Republican adj
ministratien had given them.

Arrived i'm Portland Saturday.

United States Senator John H.
Mitchell and Congressman Bin
ger Hermann arrived in Portland
Saturday from Washington to ap-
pear before the federal grand jury
and explain what they know OF
of the land frauds and operations
Of the Puter- Ware Watson Nc
Kinley ring. Both gentlemen
deny having anything to do with
the frauds against the federal
land department except SO tar as
they have attended to their duty
as officials, and they express their
entire conviction that their names
will not be connected with the
frauds after they have a hearing
before the grand jury.
1t is now believed that Mitchell
and Hermann will be allowed to
go before the grand jury early
after the holiday recess so that
they can hasten back to Wash
ington to attend to their duties in
congress, and it thought the case
in which they are to testify will
be taken up Immediately after
Christmas. In some quarters it
is even ru1nored that neither of
the two will be allowed to appear
before the grand jury, and that
their trip was for nothing.
George c. Brownell it is re-
ported will be the subject of in
vestis alton by the federal grand
jury. Evidence j. said to be IN
possession of the government
which connects Senator Brownell
with transactions declared to have
been fraudulent, and the facts are
to be submitted to he grand jury.
1t is Stated that Brownell at
tested, as notary public, numer-
Gus afidavits signed with the
names of alleged fictitious per-
sons who were represented to be
settlers upon. government lands.
Unless he can show that his
notorial certificates were given
without knowledge OF the frauds
which were being attempted, he
may be implicated as party to
the offense.

a dead loss to them.

WATER SYSTEM.

Competent engineers on the
construction of water systems
who have visited our city to view
up the surroundings looking to-
wards proposal to construct a
water system have suggested
that the city should invest some
means in the ownership of part
of the system. This they claimed
was not for lack of funds to
construct the system, but they
claimed that as strangers coming
into a strange community to in
vest their means, the city should
own at least part of the invest
ment to assure the good faith
of our people and that the bal
ance of the owners of the works
would be properly treated. AS
such investment on the part of
the city may be insisted upon
before the experts will under
take the construction of water
works it certainly would be
proper to obtain an enabling act
from the legislature soon to meet
authorizing the city to buy and
own at least about $4,000 to
$50, ,O00 in value of the plant
upon condition that this invest
ment will afford the city all the
water for city purposes without
any further cost or investment
on the part Of the city. The
city should have the option to
purchase the balance of the works
at any time after ten years, after
giving proper notice, but be un-
der no obligation to so purchase.
The city should not be required
to furnish any larger investment
or afford means to supply any
further bonds or land security to
the builders.
From a sound business stand
point viewed from the city's side
of the question, any company
proposing to construct water
works should be supplied with
ample means so as to insure the
city that they would certainly
put through the enterprise in a
sound financial way. If the city
is to furnish all of the in
vestment and credit to float the
enterprise upon she does not
need outside people to hamper or
cucumber her investment. If
the city should furnish means to
build and own part of the works
she should also own like por-
ton of the stock of the company
unless there is some legal objec-
ton.
