 Saturdays.

New York. March s.-The cotton marke. and irreEular, and final prices show prac- tically no change as compared with satur- day.
 The opening was steady at the advance of 264 points in response to the cables ana some talk of unsettled weather in the Soutn. which 1t was thought might result In further delay to new crop preparations. New Orleans appeared to be buying here also; probably shorts covering in preparation for the holiday in that market tomorrow. and during the early trading prices worked up to a net advance of about 6Gs points.
 Demand subsided at the highef level and with room scalpers who had bought for q turn on the opening taking profits. there was reaction to practically the opening figures. following which the market ruled very quiet and irregular until midday, short ly after which the lower Wall Street crowd began to sell uttle more freely.
 There were reports of increased spot of ferfngs in the South and the market. while stead vat the close, was within @ point or two of the lowest at net unchanged prices to an advance of point. Sales estimated at 1z5.00o bales.

WHAT He DESERVED.

Now and then Fate or Destiny,
or whatever else it may be con-
sidered, steps in with a check
mate which is about the right
thing. Outlines series Of cal
amities will befall some poor fell
low who is deserving Of better
things and he receives little SYM
pathy in his time Of trouble.
Again there are times when de-
cent people regret that a series
of calamities do not befall some
! internal cad.
Things worked out about right
in Portland last week when a
smirking ape, who was under the
impression that he was pretty,
tried to force his attentions up
on a young lady to whom he had
never been introduced and who
tried to avoid him. Amale frienc
of the young lady did all sorts o1
violent things to the ''masner.' :
i Later on the would-be irresist
able man found himself in court
when Judge Hogue imposed cal
amity No. 2 upon him. This i
about as it should be. Nearl,
everywhere one may go they vii
, come across just such disgustin,
! scamps who were either ill-bre,
to start with, or who have for
!. gotten their early training. L
{ the case in question it is NEE

1T IS NOT SURPRISING.

It is now very reliably reported
that when District Attorney
Francis J. Heney is through with
the prosecution of the land fraud
cases in Oregon that he will re-
tire from this field of labor. In
this connection it is asserted that
President Roosevelt has urged
the prosecutor to take up similar
cases in other states, but that
Mr.. Heney refuses.
There is nothing surprising in
District Attorney Henry's desire
to retire from the prosecution of
these cases when through with
those in Oregon. Indeed, few
men after having such expert
ences as Mr.. Heney has been
through in this state, would be
anxious to court similar expert
ences in other ststes. 1t is not
pleasant for any man to feel that
he may at any moment find him
self the victim of a conspiracy
against his good name. And yet
this has been Mr.. Heney's ex-
perience during his brief sojourn
in Oregon.
Beyond douO5 when the land
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1905-03-28

fraud cases are called next month
short work will be made Of them.
It is fully expected that there
will be more indictments and
some very interesting develop
ments are promised. Altogether,
it is a bad mess and that Mr..
Heney should not wish to con-
Itinue stirring it should occasion
mo surprise.

How Far Up3

It is reported that the sum of
$50, 900 will be available this
year for improvements on the
Upper Willamette and the Yam
hill river. This is we'll. The
question now arises as to how
tar up the Willamette the wave
of the $50, 900 will reach? The
farther up stream you go the
more work you must naturally
|expect to do in order to keep
stream open for boats of a uni
form draught register.
There is no use in attempting
to deny that river navigation is a
great thing for residents of the
Willamette valley. But this
blessing could be made many
times what it is at present if some
arrangement could be made for
keeping the river open the year
around as far up as this city.
why can it not be done? Each
year sees thousands of dollars ap-
propriated for things of a public
nature that are not anything like
the importance of keeping the
Willamette open for navigation
between Portland and Corvallis
twelve months of the year.
