The man who lives out Kensington way
paused and glared around. Meeting nothing
but sympathetic glances he Gained down
somewhat and continued:
well, l told him as calmly as 1 could
under the circumstances, that there weren't
any hard feelings, and then l chased the

did get her she was so tagged out that she
didn't give any milk for two days. OF
course l was mad clear through, but
week or later, being put to the neces-

The man from out Kensington way dou-

~HE man who lives out Kensington
way climbed aboard the Washing
ton-bound Chevy Chase at the
II lake, lighted a cigar. looked his
morning paper over hurriedly and
smiled grimly.
II observe he remarked to the man in
the end seat that lynching is still
fas honable amusement in the south I'm
right glad of it, too because it won't be
long before there's one out our way
Whats the troube?" inquired the end
seat comriuter, sympathettcally.
"Everything, repeated the man who
lives kensington way, showing some
symptoms of appoplexy. i've seen 1t COM
ing on for some time, and if one of my
neighbors doesn't take the initiative pretty
soon I'll lead the lynching bee myself
We've always had a peaceful and con-
tented community continued the man
from out KensingtCn way plaintively. "un-

thing is different, and it began this way
Long about April first of this year a
couple of young fellows from town leased
that old Johnson house in our community,
with about ten acres of ground around II.
We weren't tickIed to death by any means
because that ten acres had been a sort of
common pasture ground for the commun1-
ty but we didn't say anything. And. OF
course we were all interested in our neigh

hungry looking. with a mild blue eye ana
a persuasive voice, and the other was

the shoulders and with pair OF pale gray

and everything going fine, when one
day the long, lean person came drifting
over my way to where | was sitting on
my front porch, and hung half of himself
over the front gate.

locking for. and the long, lean person took
a couple of puffs. gazed at me sort of re-
gretfully and remarked: THAT was

The man from out Kensington way wiped
his brow and bit cigar in half The
next evening, he continued, glancing at
the row of sympathetic faces turned in his
direction, Il walked over to Jim Smiths
to tell him my troubles. Jim got almost
as mad about it l was. and remarked
Why, look here, Bill, you just let those
fellows bluff you to death. That land
doesn't really go with the house-at least
the rest of us have got right to turn our
stock in there. | put my horse in that lot
this morning, and there hasn't been as
much as a whimper about it. You're an
easy mark
Il didn't say anything, because Just
about that time l happened to glance
around and saw the long, lean person
stroliing down the road. He stopped in
front of Smiths house. hung half of him
self over the front gate and remarked to
Jim:
'Neighbor. do you know anybody
rel-colored nag, two off feet white, blaze in
forehead, one bad eye and a fondness for
garden SasS?"
That's my horse you're describing
says Jim as digntied as could be.
"'Shucks,' said the long, lean person, re-
gretfully. You don't say SO? That's too
bad. You see my partner found an animal
answering that description wandering
around in our lot. and not knowing whose
it was he gave man a quarter to take
him down the road couple of miles and
was your nag. No hard feelings, / hope?
But Jim was frothing so he couldn't
talk, and after minute the long, lean per-
son lighted a cigarette, nodded amiably
and wandered home. 1t took Smith two
days to get his horse back. but after that
for awhile things were quiet again. But
about two weeks later Smiths new hired
man put the horse in the ten-acre lot to
Craze, and that evening l saw the Short
hefty person speeding across lots.
Say he remarked in that sweet voice
I've previously described could hear
very well from my porch-'that spawned,
broken-kneed, long-headed garden-wreck-
ing, car-pulling squine of yours was in
our lot again today / thought my friend
warned you about that. but it doesn't seem
to have done any good. Now you listen.
| htched that nag to the rear end of
forty horse power chug-chug car belonging
to friend of mine, and he's probably near
Baltimore by this time. Next time it hap.

FOR ELECTRIC POWER.
For Commercial Purposes in Corvallis
Big Company Would Come.

There is immediate prospect that
electric power for commercial uses
will shortly be brought to Corvallis
1t is expected that petition for
franchise will be laid before the
city council at the regular monthly
meeting Monday night. The com
pany is believed to be the same
that has purchased the electric
light plants in Albany and Salem,
and is understood to be the same
that is asking for a franchise for
railroad tracks on Front street in
the city of Portland. 1t is the same
company that has been much dis
cussed in the Portland newspapers
during the past week or two, as
bent on building railroad lines
through the Willamette Valley,
particularly one Immediately be-
tween Salem and Portland. In the
main, the capitalists involved are
Philadelphia people, and according
to all accounts they have unlimited
capital. 1t is asserted chat they
paid a sum not great deal below
S1oo, 900 for the Albany light plant
including the water ditch. Their
plans as so far developed, seem to
be an extension south to Corvallis,
Eugene and elsewhere of the power
lines projected for Salem and AL
bany, expecting later on, no doubt,
to follow up the light and power
equipment with electric railroad
lines. The power, it is said, is to
be derived from the Santiam river,
and it is e1so alleged on the best of
authority that the power and wat
er privileges are already selected
and secured. A further statement
by those conversant with the com
pany's plans is, that if Corvallis
grants franchise, the town will be
connected up and the line be in op-
Grafton within four months.
It is understood that a franchise
for use of the streets for poles for a
! lSAh VI ~ ySd1o ID WudC WILL DC
asked for Corvallis. It is not to
be an exclusive franchise, and
would not debar any other company
from entering the town, The plar
includes the supplying of power tc
the Corvallis electric light people
and to any consumers who should
desire to purchase it. The plant
would be such that it would supply
unlimited horse power. and on tha
account its appearance in-Corvallis
would place the town on an equa
basis with all other towns as to the
future establishment of factorie
aud industries. 1t would, of course
if it comes, supplant practically al
the steam plants in town, with the
| possible exception of that at th
sawmill for power of the sort is i'm
mensely more economical than i
steam power, especially in thes
| times when wood is high priced.

THE ELECTIONS.

Apparently a change has come
over the voters of the country. In
New York Tuesday, more than
200, 900 voters threw aside party
lines and supported Hearst for the
mayorality On municipal owner
ship platform. The alleged illicit
relations of Tammany with the ice
trust, the gas trust, and other cor
porations furnished basis for the
ballot revolution that swept Hearst
almost into the mayors chair.
IL In Pennsylvania the revolt
against the known corruption of
the republican bosses of Philadel-
phia and the state resulted in an
overwhelming victory for Mayor
Weaver and the reform forces, In
Ohio, after campaign in which
the batteries of the democrats were
directed against bossism and graft
of the republican leaders, there re-
suited a revolution at the polls in
which a democratic governor was
elected by a big majority, with the
legislature heavily democratic in
both houses. Equally or more re-
markable is the reelection in New
York of District Attorney Jerome,
running without the nomination by
any party, and solely on his record
in the Office as the uncompromising
foe of graft in public place. 1t all
means that there is manifest real
ization by the people that they have
been duped through appeals to par,
ty prejudice, and that their eyes
are opening as to their means ol
defense.
AS causes for the new thought
among voters, the work of Folk il
Missouri, of Jerome in New York
and of Weaver in Philadelphia, ha:
largely figured, but the greatest O.
all influences have been the expos
ures of the colossal frauds ane
thievery among the big insurance
companies. The corruption tha
has prevailed in these institutions
whose errand was supposed to b.
the collection and preservation o
sacred funds largely of the poor
has opened the eyes of millions o
people as to the stupendous swind
ling prevalent in the name of vir
tue and finance. A few years ago
these selfsame insurance companie:
that, stripped of their mask, stane
shame-faced and disgraced in theil
welter of corruption, appeared be
fore the voters in an election cam
paign, talking about "nationa
honor" and an honest dollar, "
They assumed to tell the citizer
"how to vote honestly, and how to
save the country The presen+
exposures of their hypocrisy ane
their rotten financial operations ha'
opened the eyes of many voters
and hence a democratic Ohio, re
formed Philadelphia and demoral
lied Tammany.
