Sentenced

James Spence and Fred Jones, the
two young men who were held In
the Wetzel county jail for several
months on charge of breaking L.
to the depot and stealing number
of articles, consisting of wearing
apparel, etc, were taken Into the
Court room before Judge Willis,
Monday where they confessed to
their crime. Both young men
claimed thai they were from Johns
town, Pa, that they were travelling
around hunting work and IN that
manner drifted into New Martins
Vile. Zach of the young men
were closely questioned bv the
Judge. 1t was discovered that the
Jones boy was of a good family In
Johnstown and he gave his age
as sixteen years. The Judge
after considering the case SEN
fenced the Older boy Spence to two
years In the peni;entiary. Owing
to the youth of Jones, the Judge
was more lenieut with him and at
ter giving him considerable advice
that should be remembered by him,
gave him sentence of thirty days
In jail. After his release the young
boy promised 10 60 to his home a,
Johnstown and hereafter keep out
of trouble.
The case of State VS. Johnson.

SFNTIMENTOF AMERICANS

Firms, the Jews and the
Poles, and Its general attitude
toward liberty of conscience and
the press have alieniated American
sentiment. The course Russia has
persued In the matter of Manchuria
has never appealed to the American
people. 1t has been strongly sus
pected OF attempts to shut Our trade
out of that province and to thwart
the open door policy guaranteed to
Us by the treaty. 1t Is, therefore,
not strange the people of this coun,
try should favor Japan. The de-
mands of the latter are much more
reasonable than those of Russia.
The swift and sturdy blow that
Japan has struck at the Russian
feet was received here with uark
ed enthusiasm. The boldness and
speed of the dash into the midst OF
the enemy's q let demonstrates that
Japan Is terribly In earnest in this
conf ct for supremacy. What may
occur when the big bait eshlps and
cruisers of the foes meet at sea, IS
as yet p-oblematic but the Port Ar
thur affair Is sufficient to provoke
more than suspicion that the ma
val experts who have coutended
that torpedo boats are more to be
dreaded than the heaviest guns
were truthful prophets. If the
Russians had had a few torpedo
poat destroyers on the scene to pit
agsinst the Japanese attack the In
cideut would have doubtless bee n
much more interesting.

few weeks ago, compels resident
of the oil city to be thankful that
no such condition ever prevailed
there.
Pittsburg Is more than ever con-
fronted with condition of street
car congestion. For fifteen min
utes today I stood or the SmiIh6eld
street and never during that time
was there distance of ten feet be-
tween cars and vehicles going
north. Such a condition greatly
tmpedes business, binders trans
portation, interrupts travel and In
terferes with pedestrians, How
to remedy 1t Is difficult problem.
The people of Plt,sburg have
builded this greatest city on earth
with 10 more level land than an or,
binary back yard. They can do
anything but provide for streets.
And that part will always hamper
transportation In the lower city.
The young people of Sistersville
would be delighted to have a Du-
quesne garden with Its beautiful ice
always at their doors. Whether 1t
Is warm or cold, the Ice Is always
In perfect order. II IS frozen by a
perfect Ice plant of three hundred
tons day, and Is some six inches
10 depth above the top of the pipes.
Zach evening hundreds of young
people, young and old, fit over Its
even surface 10 the music of mag
nifceut band. Certain evenings
hockey games are played, which
are much more exciting than the
most exciting ball game we had IN
Slstersville last summer.
The many friends of Chester
Hutchinson will be glad to know
that he has a magnificent position
with Heron Bros, wholesale
jewelers., and Is rapidly gaining de-
served promotion. But Chester. is
always glad to see any one from
down the river.
The Colonial Hotel, besides hav-
Ing become the leading European
hotel 10 Pittsburg. Is rapidly be-
coming the most popular resort tor
oil people, a position so long held
by Newell's. Mr.. Smith, the genial
proprietor, has rapidly advanced
this hostelry until he has made It a
real home for his guests, and each
evening, In the crowded lobby,
can be seen people from the south
efn' field In constantly increasing
.uumoers within the last few days.

Corvallis Poultry Association.

At meeting of the Corvallis
Poultry Association last Thurs
day evening in the Office of Hon.
w. E. Yates the following officers
we're elected: President, B. w.
johnson; vice-president, Prof. c.
M. McKellips; secretary aud
treasurer, Robt. johnson; Asst.
secretary, Gene M. Simpson;
Supt. of Show, F. L. Miller.
Executive board, VIM. Emery
and Prof. A. L. Knisely.
Much interest is being taken
in fancy poultry not only in Cor
wallis but throughout the~county
as we'll. Since the notice OF the
proposed organization in these
columns a few weeks ago many
names have been sent in from the
county, and the secretary will be
pleased to have the names of any
one in the country who are in
terested in poultry and will send
in one dollar for membership dues
for one year, which will entitle
1.-THE member to all the privileges
lef the association.
A poultry show will be held in
Corvallis early in December, that
will from present. indications, be
the largest show in the state this
coming season. Being centrally
located, and coming as the first
poultry show of the season, will
naturally attract exhibitors from
jail parts of the state, and from
California and Washington, as
we'll, as the reputation of Judge
Kinds, of Alameda, California,
who will be the judge is known
all over the state as the best judge
|of poultry on the coast. Judge
Kinds will judge shows at San
Francisco, Seattle and other
cities later, and the Corvallis show
will be an excellent place for ex-
hibitors to test the merits of their
birds before the other shows.
The officers of the Corvallis
association, are hustlers, and the
show will be a big thing for Cor
wallis.

O. A. G. Notes.

Mr.. W. A. McComas, an old
friend of Prof. Horner's, visited at
Cauthorn Hall last Friday.
The seniors enjoyed picnic Sat-
urday afternoon by taking a tract
ion engine and two hay racks and
making trip over the country.
The seniors have engaged Mr..
Paul to coach them on their, play
and he is doing splendid work.
Everybody get ready to see the
senior play at commencement time.
The number at the Amicitia table
at Cauthorn Hall very materially
increased at dinner Sunday for the
"Sons Of Friendship" invited their
lady friends to dine with them.
The senior excursion on next Sat-
urday to Newport is sure to be an
enjoyable event. The College band
will attend and furnish plenty of
music, and everything points to a
most pleasant trip. Train leaves at
6 a. m. and the boat leaves New
port on return trip $50 p. m.
Mary's Peak is becoming the
Mecca for Cauthorn Hall boys.
Mr.. Hofer and Mr.. Bradley made
a trip there Saturday. They left
the Hall at 4 O'Clock and walked
all of the way to the top, found two
feet of snow in the open and re-
turned on "shanks horses arriv-
ing home about 8 o'clock in the
evening. They say it is not very
big days walk.
The sad news of the death of
Fred Houston. 'O2 reached Corvallis

ing" After the program every
body had a good time and visited
the booths representing the different
zones. There were several negroes
in charge of the torrid zone, and
did excellent work. In the frigid
zone you would always find the old
Esquimo in his native garb. Dur.
ing the evening Mr.. Underwood
gave several pieces on his new disc
phonograph which were very fine
and distinct.

mands upon the reader such as
are only met with in such roles
as "Hyde" in Robert Louis

play.

REGISTRATION BOOKS CLOSE
Increase of Voters of Benton
County Over 1902.

Saturday was the last day for
registering and there was gen
eral rush at the clerks Office the
last few days. In several pre-
cincts the number was considera-
bly, under the number registering
in 1902. Corvallis precinct No.
l showed the largest increase, be-
ing 81 over the previous registra-
ton, but this is partially due to
change of the boundary lines.
Philomath also came to the front
in good shape, 81 more voters
registering than two years ago.
Kings Valley, Summit, Soap
Creek, Fairmount, Wren, Alsea,
Bellfountain and Monroe all have
taken slump, this being due to
the negligence of the voters.
Willamette shows a neat increase
of 18.
Following is a list of voters
registering in 1904 and 1902.
