To Drill For Oil in Polk County

A company has been formed
and financed to 60 in the oil IN
dustry again near Dallas, in Polk
county.
Over a year aso oil was sought
at this place but a magnificent
salt we'll was discovered instead,
which owing to the moist climate
would not be practicable to oper-
ate.
The machinery at that time
would not penetrate the earth
any deeper and work was aban-
doned. Indications pointed to the
existence of oil, however, deeper
down and a frst-class outfit has
been procured and work will be
renewed in the near future. The
new we'll will be bored in a differ
ent place from the old one, for,
in case oil is discovered the salt
we'll will be operated.
There are several good salt
wells in this part of the country,
but the great difficulty is suita-
BILE and sufficient fuel as artificial
means must be employed to evap'
crate the salt water. The place
where the boring has been done
is on the Benjamin Whitaker
donation claim. Mr.. Whitaker
in the early SOS made an at
tempt to prohtably make salt by
sun evaporation, but soon foune
that the moist climate of Oregon
was a bar to this process anc
abandoned the attempt.

Goddess of Liberty Contest.
The following is the result of
the vote for goddess of liberty,

The vote on the flag is fast rolling
up into big numbers. Who is your
favorite? If undecided, then why
not vote for the public schools?
This is cause that appeals right
to the heart of every father and
mother in the city. The flag in the
hands of the school children would
be source Of joy to every home in
Corvallis. Now is the time for the
children to take hold of this matter
and urge their parents to vote for
the schools. The College is old
enough and big enough to get their
own. Each class has one of their
own. Give this flag to the children
and make the little tots happy.
Mrs. Sarah E. Moore and daugh-
ter, Miss Gladys, left Sunday for
Prineville, where they expect to re-
main till about the first of August.
They go to attend to matters OF
business. They were accompanied
as far as Hillsboro by Guy Moore
,, who expects to spend the summer
at that place.
The Corvallis carriage and organ
factory is now a thing of the past
What remains looks like an an.
cient Assyrian watch tower. The
water tower remains and the two
lower stories of a part of the main
building. 1t has been purchased
by an Eastern man who will con.
vert it into general warehouse.

T L. Chairman, of Oregon
CITY, was in the city last week,
discussing the question OF purer
water with the city council. He
recommends a fltering system
similar to that used in the city by
the tails. The cost of their plant
was about $4,000. Befsre the
copucil spends that much moaev
On 6ltering Willamette river
water it would do well to consider
the question of'a purer water, by
gravity system from Rock Creek.
Il IS time that this. matter was
again brought up, and some steps
taken looking to speedy solu-
tio1 of the all-important question
of better water and better health.
1t has been left to a Pennsyi-
vania Jurist, Judge Burlington,
of Pittsburg, to render a decision
Oh the strike question that con-
tains an element of fairness that
viii be appreciated by both sides.
In the case tefore him growing
ont of the strike at the Rochester
tuznbler works recognizes the
right to strike and to use peace
fnl measures in support of the
su;ke, but very strongly denies
the right to prevent by force OF
intimidation, men from working
where they desire to work. The
logic Of the decision is contained
in the judicial epigram that "To
make a man work for another
when he is nwilling to work is
slavery; to prevent a man from
working who wants to work is
tyranny. ~ When the courts show
an equal boldness and incisive.

which combinations of capital

iens in the solution of labo,
question will be found easier.
From a close analysis Of th'
vote cast by the Prohibition part,
at the last election it is eviden
ebat the party is made up of abou
90 of republican proclivlties ant
about 90 whose former politica
predictions were democratic
This is evident from the way
the vote IS divided. One, of th'
prominent leaders of the party
IN our office a few days ago ex
planned the situation as follows:
4'We have waited for severa
years for the Republican party tf
adopt our views on the temper
4ance question. They have dom
nothing. So we formed the thirt
party" To put the case in
nutshell it means that becaus
ai,e 90 men could not dominat
and control the 1000 voters OF tn
Republican party, they throw
their influence in favor of th
Democratic party which the
know they never have and neve
can control. What consistent rea
soners these disgruntled fanatic
are. Rule or ruin is their policy
and because they could not rul
your party in your county the
have ruined it. BUT the Prohi
bition question is not yet settled
1t is for the Republican party {
this county to say whether thei
votes Oh the Prohibition meas
tues yet to come up shall be throw
IN favor of the fanatics who hav
and who will continue to wor
against them at all times, {
whether their measures shall b
defeated. Think the matter ovel

BRITISH NAVAL ESTIMATES.
This Years Budget Shows Increase
Over Last Year.

London, Feb. 24-The British naval
estimates for 1904-05 total 1924, 447 500, a
net increase of $12, 100000 over the es-
Inmates for 10000.
More than half the increase in the
estimates is due to the determination
to pay the entire balance due on the
recently purchased Chilean battleships
on April 1st, and to provide them with
ammunition for the next year.
The estimates provide for a total of
$5S270.SS0 for new construction, of
which $3,Z10,415 will be devoted to the
commencement of new ships. The adj
miralty will devote SO. O50,OOO to the pur-
chase of armor during the coming year.
The construction will be begun dur
ing the present year of two battleships.
four armOred cruisers, 10 submarine
vessels and IA torpedo boat destroyers.
In submitting the estimates the Earl
of Selborne. first lord of the admiralty,
said the admiralty was aware that the
es Inmates were large, but Parliament
must remember how great is the re-
sponsibility cast upon the board of ad-
miralty in providing the country with
a navy strong enough to sustain
struggle with the naVieS of any two
powers and to ensure reasonable securi-
ty for the country's vast seaboard trade
ard the food supply of the people.

RUSSIA At WAR.
Alexieff Causes Issuance of ProcIama-
ton in Manchuria.

Yin Eow, Feb. 24-Viceroy Alexieff
has caused proclamation to be issued
throughout Manchuria notifying the
Chinese that Russia is at war with the
japanese acceptance of Japan's treach-
eIOus attack on the Russian fleet.
This proclamation is under six head
ings. The first warns the inhabitants
that they must prevent the encroach-
ment of Chinese on Russian territory.
Second, Russian and Chinese inter-
ests are declared to be identical; but
is China says she wishes to maintain
neutrality. therefore all officials in
Manchuria instead of hindering must
assist the Russian army.
Third, the people shall continue their
occupations and shall treat the Russian
troops with confidence.
Fourth, the railroad telegraphs are
left to the protection of the people.
who wi ! be held responsible in case
they are injured.
The fifth heading warns the people
not to obey the threats of the chun-
chus (bandits) who are the curse of
Manchuria, but assist the troops to ex-
terminate them: if they do not assist
in this they also will be treated as rob-
bers.
Sixth, if the people antagonize the
troops or show them hatred, they will
be exterminated without mercy The
government is taking all steps, in any
event. to protect it's interests.
The proclamation makes an earnest
appeal for the sympathy Of the people
in the present crisis when it says:
Russia must put her back to the WALL
