Within less than one year after the
signing of this contract his retire nent

of tremendous tonnage possibilities.
1t is understood that following the

net cravings far greater than any
other western system. the Moore
brothers and their associates began an
investigation at Chicago to discover
the reason. They are said to have
found conditions which were highly
displeasing. 1t was said that Mr..
Loree's failure to gain the approval
of the Moore syndicate was due largely
to the fact that he applied eastern
railroad methods to western Il system,
where conditions are totally different.
His first move was to fill many i'm
portant operating positions on the
Rock Island with Pennsylvania men,
who are said to have exercised dis

The organization of the Rock Island

where traffic is so dense that it can be

and secretary Of state will be paid

Third, state expenses have been re-
duced to a considerable extent. The
salaries Of criminal Judges are to be

courts Prisoners are to be conveyed

saving thousands Of dollars annually.
In various ways the expenses of ran
ming the affairs Of the state will be
greatly reduced.
Fourth, the taxes of the. farmers OF
Berkeley county will be rednced be-
canse the property of all corporations,
railroads. telephone kjues, sleeping
car companies. coal, oil, timber, will
each be assessed at their true and
actual value. After the year 1907
every dollar of taxes collected in
Berkeley coounty will remain here
with the exception of cents on the
hundred dollars which goes for the
purpose of maintaining the schools
throughout the state, and this small
sum will be wiped out just as soon as
the republicans have sufficient ma
jority in the legislature TO srbmit
an amendment to the people to be
voted upon. If the people OF Berke-
ley county will permit 8. county court
which they elect to double their taxes
it will be their own fault, and not the
fault OF the republican party in West
Virginia.
Thus. it will be clearly seen that
the object of the special session of
the legislature was to reduce the far
mer's taxes. and after it did the best
that could be done. strange to say
that certain democrats will malign
and misrepre resent the new tax law just
IN order to be elected to Office. Truelv,
the democ attic party has always been
a party of opposition.

What a muddle in the voting pre-

are the people to vote II the county
court keeps up this rapid change? In
November 1903 the precincts were

were: Hedgesville. Allensville, Dry

the precints were Hedgesville, Dry

1904 the precincts are as in the begin

Some one has said that protective
tariff unquestionably increases the re-
wards of labor by creating demand
for skilled labor, by diversifying the
kinds of labor in a country and thus
differentiating both demand and sup
ply, and by making for producers of
every kind home market. This In
crease of the laborer's reward is not
contiuei to the protected industries,
but elevates wages IN every sphere by
the sympathetic Iect OF high wages
generally, and by Withdrawing from
the nonprotected industries and from
agriculture a surplus of wage earners
who would divide and. reduce wages
if they competed against each other.

Don't Shoot Pheasants Yet.


Sportsmen are eagerly looking
forward to the open season for
chinese pheasants, as it is evident
that the shooting will be better
than ever before. Everyone who
has had an occasion to go through
the farming districts has noticed
that the supply of young birds is
unusually plentiful. One can
not drive through the wheat lands
in any direction from Corvallis
without frequently starting up
large focks of the beautiful birds.
Just last week a farmer living
near here, started up bevy of
nearly 80 birds about half grown.
There has been some mis-
apprehension in regard to the
pheasant law. arising no doubt
from misleading articles that have
appeared in many papers Of late.
There was law up in the last
legislature but was not passed, to
change the present law.
The present law does not open
the season until October. AS a
general thing a large number of
the birds are killed each year be-
fore the season opens by hunters
or by the rains that kill the
young birds soon after they are
hatched. This year, however,
there was no rain until the young
pheasants were strong enough to
survive it. For this reason there
will be twice as many young
birds as last year.
The pheasants are less timid,
too, than formerly, owing to a
stricter enforcement of the game
laws. A few years ago illegal
hunting was so common that the
pheasants became wild, and
sportsman had difficulty in get
ting Within range of them after
the season opened. Illicit hunt
ing has now been almost entirely
abandoned, and the birds are
easily approached up to the be-
ginning of the open season.

Marion LytIe has Smallpox.

Marion Lytle has smallpox in
Philomath. Saturday he was
taken with a chill, Sunday he
had fever and Tuesday the pus-
tules that are the unmistakable
signs of smallpox began to ap-
pear on his face. The case is
very mild, and Mr.. Lytle suffers
little or no inconvenience now
the eruptions have begun to ap-
pear. He was in the livery
stable at Philomath when Haw-
kins came in on the 4th all brok-
en- out with the disease. That is
the only exposure he had to any
case, but, as many more were ex-
posed, there are still others who
may yet take it.
Hawkins and Speedy were re-
leased from quarantine Monday.
Speedy did not break out with
the disease at all, as he was vac
cinated by DR.. Newth soon after
the exposure. They both went
up into an old cabin in the hills,
however, and remained there un-
til they were pronounced cured.
They took an oil can and boiled
their: clothes and thoroughly dis
infected before coming down.
All these cases are exceedingly
mild and not particularly dan
gerous. 1t is called by some Ma
Mia itch, but physicians who
have been to the Philippine
Islands say that this disease is
unknown there, but is called
smallpox in mild form, and be-
longs peculiarly to the Pacific
Coast o. the United States.

Mrs. Altman who are to leave the
last of this week for Salem, to re-
side. A large company was pres
ent, and most enjoyable evening
was spent; but the departure Of
these estimable people could not
but cast feeling of sadness over
those who were there to bid them
farewell. DIR. and Mrs. Altman
have always occupied the highest
positions in social and religious cir
cles of Corvallis, and are held in
the higheet esteem by a large circle
of friends. During the evening, a
short program was rendered, as
follows: Rev. Carrick presented re

Wicklund recited, Fred Yates made
a short speech, and Mrs. Crawford,
in behalf of the ladies of the Pres

goes to Salem to take the office and
practice of an old school friend who
goes to Portland.
