Denard Montague, at one time
a compositor on the CORVALLIS
GAZETTE, died on Friday, in
East Portland at the age of 50
wears, He was born in Illinois,
and was apprenticed to the print
er's trade at the age of ~ years.
During his life he was the editor
and owner of number of publ
cations.
Mr.. Montague came to the
Coast in 1885, and went to Los
Angeles where he worked at his
trade for several years. Leaving
there he came to Oregon where
he has been connected with
newspapers in different parts of
the state. Up to few weeks
before his death he was en-
ployed in the composing-room of
the Columbia River and Oregon

had held for five years. In all
of his duties he was ever a con-
scientious and devoted man.

the First Missouri Regiment for
three months. He then re-en-
listed for three years and fought
under General Schoheld.
Mr.. Montague came from a

guished English ancestry, and

Norris Humphrey Insane.


Norris Humphrey well known
to many in this city, having mar
ried Miss Grace Hanna, Cor
Wallis lady. went insane at his
home in Eugene last week, and
was taken to the state institu-
ton at Salem. He was a we'll
known o1chsrdist and became
suddenly deranged while work
ing among his trees last Wednes-
day. He was taken before Judge
Kincaid and an examining board
and pronounced insane. The
Judge ordered him committed to
the asylum. Deputies Harry
Bown and George Hunter left on
the afternoon train for Salem
with the unfortunate man in their
keeping. At the station Mr..
Humphrey exhibited much stress
of mental excitement. He paced
up and down the. platform, talk
ing in delir1ous manner.
1t is said that financial re-
verses are the cause of Mr.. Hum
phrey's mental distress. At one
time he was rated as one of the
wealthiest residents of the coun-
ty, but a series of losses have
made him a poor man. His de-
rangement took the form of a
suicidal mania and restraint be-
came necessary to prevent self
inflicted bodily harm.
1t is thought that perfect rest
and quiet will bring about a per
maneLt cure, as his arrangement
is believed to be but temporary.
Mr.. Humphrey IS about fifty
years of age and resided with his
family in the outskirts of Eugene.

another fire occurred early last
week out in the hills, ten or
Twelve miles from Corvallis near
George Mannings, totally de-
stroying the residence of Mr..
Kee}ey. The little six-year-old
girl Of Mr.. Keeley displayed an
act of true hero'sn in saving her
baby brother from an awful death.
The father and mother were
away at the time of the fire at a
ne;ghbors grinding scythe.
The little girl discovered the fire
and ran into the bedroom where
her little brother was asleep upon
The bed, and carried him out aud
over to Mr.. Manning's, where
the parents were. The father re-
sarned to find the house too far
gone to save anything except a
few minor articles. The fire was
caused by a defective fue. The
family has but recently arrived
from the East and spent all their
money in buying the place and
are IN destitute circumstances.
The little girl is genuine hero
iae and is the object of much
alteration by neighbors. A subs
ription is being taken uo 10 lelp
the family out. All who tesile
20 help can give the same to Rev.
Andrew Carrick or Mrs. S. N.

"The. farmer should not be taxed
for any part of his farm not free
from mortgage. Why should he
be?" Why should he be compelled
to pay interest on the money he
borrows? The answer to the last
question is easy: ale borrows the
money for investment. The invest
ment is expected to return him a
greater sum than he pays in interest.
Why does he buy more land than
he has money to pay for? "Be-
cause he expects to make the added
amount of land earn something"
How much? Enough so be can
afford to pay the tax on it? What
is. the difference in the two cases

"War is waste" This fact is now
being emphasized with terrible force
in the Orient. Russia, aside from
and above the enormous expense
required for the prosecution of the
war, is losing enormous sums of
money by the destruction of proper
ty--warships, forts, docks, public
buildings. Fifteen of her warships
have been destroyed. These must
have cost in the neighborhood of
$2o,ooo,ooo. Dalny, her modern
sea port, built at the cost of many
millions, has suffered greatly by the
destruction of its docks and forts,
which the Russians blew up last
week to hamper the landing of the
Japanese.

Gov. La Toilette, in his speech at
Ellsworth, roasted the people of
River Falls brown, in consequence
of their apathy in receiving him last
Thursday. AS executive of the state
he thought he should have been
welcomed to the city. We think
he should have been received with a
more general announcement. That
he was not he may lay to his friends
or those who assume to be his
friends. Our Democratic contem-
porary in the back alley, which is
used as the automatic mouthpiece of
the administration, issued on
Wednesday, failed to announce that
the Governor would be here the
next day. We are sure this was
not the fault of the paper. It simply
had not been told to make the an
nouncement. And why the Cover
nor's lieutenants here If he has any
did not more generally advertise
the fact that Governor La Toilette
would address the people here on
Thursday, they can make their ex-
cuses at headquarters. Considering
the brief and niggardly announce
ment the Governor had as good an
audience as could have been expect
ed. And-on the side--if Gov. La
Toilette will announce date when
he will speak to the people of River
Falls as the Governor of the state
and not as an advocate of himself as
the exponent Of factional politics,
we believe his ree4s,ation would be-
all that he could desire.

The Republican county conven-

proved to be very peaceful and
quiet gathering, though the two
different elements in the party were
nearly evenly divided. The vote
upon the organization of the con-
vention was a21a to 1917 against
the state administration, and no con-
testing delegations applied for ad-
mission. The minority apparently
accepted defeat with becoming graces
and no bad blood seems to have
been displayed. We are pleased to
be able to note this, as it augurs
we'll for the future of the party in

Gov. La Toilette, in his remarks
to the people here, complained of
the attitude of a part of the press
towards him. Well, the Governor
knows that the best men have their
enemies, even if they have no faults.
What is the use of being hero if a
fellow has no enemy to fight?
Governor La Toilette averred that
for himself he didn't care what the
newspapers said against him, their
shafts. couldn't penetrate his hide,
but it made his children feel badly
to read how the newspapers were
bounding their distinguished father.
The Governor can relieve that acute
situation very easily. Let him APP
point. one or more persons whom
he can trust-and he never makes a
mistake along that line-as press
censors SO that only the St. Croix
Observer, that lauds the executive
as the ssidol of the people," shall be
read by the young ones of his house
hold.

Republicans are not SO deeply en-
crossed in the factional differences
in their own party as to be entirely
oblivious to the rumpus that is going
on within the Democratic party.
The Democratic politicians of the
East are now becoming alarmed
over what they fear may prove to
be irreconcilable differences mani
tested in the St. Louis convention.
The Populistic element of the party,
led by Bryan and Hearst, is so BIT
terly opposed to the Parker Bel
mont Hill outfit that an effective
bolt is feared in case of Parker's
nomination.

What childish claim it is to as
sumo that nobody but La Toilette
as executive can carry out the policy
of the Republican party! Is there
a voter in this state who does not
know that the issue is simply and
exclusively La Toilette and nothing
else? La Toilette has had his two
terms. We have endured that as a
concession to the demands of this
faction. He has torn the party into
shreds. 1t is utterly impossible for
him to harmonic the different ele-
ments.
