THEY WONT OWN IT.
The Little Doorstep Publication That
They Edit Wanted
a Father.

Father.
A diversion of last Saturday af-
ternoon was the appearance of an
unowned, unfathered, unclaimed,
three page four column circular,
called the Investigator" 1t was
left on peoples doorsteps all over
town, just as disgraced and I'M
fortunate girl leaves her offspring,
deserted and forsaken, at the door
of home. The name of no citi--
zen nor of anybody else appears as
sponsor for the little thing, and all
that is known of it is that it was
printed at the Gazette office. There
only one person in the office is said
to know who edits and pays for
the thing, and that person is re
uuired never to reveal to anybody
the identity of the fathers of the
little founding.
The contents of the sheet is an
appeal to the people of Corvallis to
continue to use Willamette river
water, to shut their eyes when they
drink it, and to never, never think
of the graveyard of which that riv-
er is the drainage. Why, in par
ticular, they want that water used
the own and only editors of the
little doorstep daisy do not put it
into the mouth of their offspring to
say. They attack the proposed
new water system from every stand
point, and with some of the funni-
est arguments ever sprung on a
community, of course with an eye
single only to force people if pos
sible to continue to use Willamette
water, with its dead carcasses, and
sewage from the Corvallis Flour
ing mills, and drainage from Har-
risburg, Eugene and all other up
river towns.
Of course the thing costs consid-
erab1e money, and it is left on door
steps free of charge. There is no
explanation of where the money
comes from or how the publishers
are to get it back, or of why some
body is so anxious for Willamette
water to continue to be used in Cor
wallis. All this is one of the most
peculiar of all the peculiar things
about the little doorstep publica-
ton, which its own relations wont
acknowledge. They even hire
strange hands to lay it on people S
doorsteps and compel the printer
to never, never tell on them.
Holy Ro11erism may have had its
peculiarities, but it never betrayed
anything so spectacularly fantastic
as the spectacle of able-bodied mer
getting up product like the "In
vestigator'' forcing the printer te
secrecy and then hiring somebody
to slip around and leave the thing
on people sidoorsteps. The wonder
is, if they want Willamette water
to continue to be used, why DOM
they come out in the open and say
SO. like men, not skulk around
ashamed to let people know that
the 'Invest-I-go-to--em is
their own and only forsaken little
Uaif.
The incident is mentioned here
as a matter of news to country
readers of the TIMES. Town peo
pie, who know all abouc where il
comes from and what it means, are
glad that the little thing is not rea.
flesh and blood but only, a lot o1
sewage from Crystal Lake cemetery
at which all hold their noses while
they smile.

TWO SIMPLE QUESTIONS.
That Somebody 0ught to Answer
Whence Came Certain Inform
atior1.

w WuSuSS Nd1lS NSl tdlll 1ulUluI-
alton.
Here is what one of the oppon
ents of good water says: why |
Engineer Miller figures it out that
500 families in Corvallis will take
mountain water if the new system
is built; why, he is wrong, because
only 125 families take water-works
water now"
If the statement of this il1ustrious
and progressive citizen be true, it is
information of the utmost value to
those who favor good water. 1t
is positively known that the reven-
ues of the old company were about
$5, 10000 last year. Now, if there
is enough income from other sourc.
es so that 125 families using water
for domestic purposes yields an ag-
gregate revenue of $4,000 per year.
what will be the revenue if good
water comes to town and 500 famil-
les use it for domestic purposes?
1t is noticeable that Engineer
Miller did not take into account
the business houses along Main
street, the barber shops, the livery
stables, the steam engines out Of
which very great per cent of rev.
enue is derived. He did not take
into account the lawn sprinkling
during the summer months. He
simply figured on the number of
families that would use the water
and placed the rate very low. The
statement, therefore, of this friend
of Willamette water that only 125
families are using now, and along
!, with it the positive knowledge that
; the water revenues last year were
} $500 makes it certain that Engin-
eer Mi1ler's estimate of the reven-
ues from the new system is too low
Yes, unwittingly, this citizen,
| when he tells that only 125 families
: use water-works water now, lets
: out an unanswerable argument
: in favor of adoption of the pending
| plan. Since, however, only the
: old Water Company knows how
: many Corvallis families take water
p how did this citizen find it out
Who posted him on the subject
: and why? And, incidentally, fol
: whom is he arguing. and why?

PROCLAMATION
BY THE GOVERNOR.

The Legislature of the state of Nevada
by Act approved March IL, 1908, desig-
mated and established the first Monday
of September of each year a day to be
known as "Labor Day"
The evident purpose of said act be-
ing TO give equal prominence to the
day named with Sunday, New Years
Day, Washington's Birthday, Lincoln's
Birthday, the thirtieth day of May,
commonly known as Memorial Day, the
Fourth of July, the thirty-frst day of
October, known as Admission Day,
Christmas Day, and Thanksgiving Day,
all embraced in the act above men
toned.
Now, therefore, in pursuance of a re-
quest made by members of organized
labor, and in recognition of a cause so
deserving, | call upon the people of
this state to give observance and defer
ence to Monday the 4th day of Septem-
Der, 1905, as Labor Day, which is in
tended to do honor totthe class of peo-
pie constituting the basis of all wealth,
progress and happiness of humanity.
In doing this it must be remembered
that laboring men in this state have
few grievances to complain of, and cap
ital but little fault to find. There is
probably no community within the
knowledge of man where labor, either
skilled or unskilled, is better rewarded,
and there are few, if any localities
where capital intelligently invested
produces more satisfactory results.
Cultivation of harmony between the
interests of capital and labor so often
brought into controversy, must be
guided by reason and intelligence. Hap
PLY for this state both have prevailed,
and "A continuance is the object sought.
Gi&en under my hand and the Great
Seal of State at the Capital in Carson
City, Nevada, this Gath day of August,
A. ID. 1905, and of the Independence of
the United States the One Hundred and
Thirtieth.

Lieutenant and Acting Governor.

LOOKS GOOD TO THEM.
J. L. lie Blanc and w. J. Donnelly Lo-
cate Claims at Montezuma.

j. L.. LIE Blanc, a well known Cripple
Creek contractor and mining man, and
w. j. Donnelly returned Sunday from
a prospecting trip to the Montezuma
district. Mr.. LIE Blanc states that the
mineral conditions there are excellent
and that the prospects of opening up
ore in paying quantities are encourag-
ing. The ore, he states, has many of
the characteristics of Cripple Creek
rock and shows a liberal string of col
ors to the pan. Most of the ground
showing a outcrop has been taken up
and considerable preliminary develop
ment work is being done. He and his
partner located eight claims on all of
which the outcrop is pronounced and
generally pans well. -Four of the prop
critics are in a group and are named
the Hill Top, Alta Vista, Ajax and
Blue Bird. The other four claims are
somewhat isolated from this group and
are called the o. K, Jumbo, Old Glory
and Melville. 1t is their purpose to
prosecute 1.-The. work necessary for the
surveying and recording of the prop
critics in the immediate future.

mittee, Railroad Day Celebration,
Goldfield, Nevada.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of the 18th
received and contents carefully noted.
1t is with pleasure that we hand you
our check for $50 to be used in helping
along the Railroad Day celebration. 1t
has always been our policy to help those
who have helped us, and as we have
been favored with a liberal patronage
from the Goldfield merchants, we are
pleased to be able to show them we ap-
preciate it. We are also pleased to
have the railroad completed to Gold
field, as it will facilitate the handling
of our perishable goods a great deal.
In the past we have had a great deal
of trouble to contend with on account
of the teaming from Tonopah to Gold
field, but these troubles will end when
the railroad enters Goldfeld.
Trusting that Railroad Day will be
a great success, we remain,
Yours very truly,

Movement on Foot to Have Ponies Run
at Carson and Reno.

A plan is being evolved to hold a race
meet at Reno and Carson City, the
events at each point to extend over a
certain number of days. Senator F1an-
nigan is n of the gentlemen inter
ested in the enterprise and he proposes
a twe~nty-days' meeting, six events
daily, for a purse of an average of
$3.50 for each race. He has authorized
Harry Lowden to consult with the
horsemen, and, as here are many Of
the profession stranded at Portland, it
is believed they will gladly avail them
selves of the opportunity thus afforded
to secure expense money until such
time as the opening of the fall and win
ter meet in San Francisco and Oakland.
An application has been made to the
Pacific Coast Jockey club for a license
sanctioning the holding of a meeting
in Nevada and it is believed that no
difficulty vii be exl c-;tneed in secur-
ing the consent of the stewards. There
are many followers of the chang tails"
in Goldfeld and the adjoining camps
and the scheme is securing their sup-
port and appreciation. A number of
them have already signifed their in
~tention to be present at the meeting
and a movement is now on foot to or
ganize a party for that purpose. No
syndicate betting will be permitted,
but the recognized .sbookies" will be
allowed to make bets at u regular uer-
centage. If the permit is granted,
which now appears probable, the men
behind the movement propose to post
ter. stakes with added money from $500
to $1,000.

ACTS OF COURTESY.
ICarfornians Manifest Friendship BY
Subscribing to Celebration Fund

Many demonstrations Of courteous
generosity have been received by the
members of the executive committee
ON Railroad Day since the project was
first launched, but at no outsi4e point
has the interest in the celebration been
more keen than in California This
interest has not been Of the passive kind
which permits the other fellow to put
up the cash and do the work, but has
been followed up with substantial dona-
tions to the expense fund. These acts
of generosity, Indicative of the good
fellowship and kindly sentiment of the
residents of the Golden state toward
this camp, are thoroughly appreciated
and in behalf of the citizens the CON-
mite desires to express both gratitude
and esteem. Following are a few of
the letters received from California

GOVERNORS
Nevada's Chief Executive requests Cit
liens to Observe Labor Day.

f.@v.-ru Spare ha ifruse a uT.
clamation through Hon. Lem Allen,
requesting the people of the state to
recognize the cause of labor by giving
observance and Difference to Monday,
September 4, Labor Day. The hol-
iday is to be generally celebrated
throughout Nevada, as well as in the
other commonwealth of the country,
and in many sections there will be
mammoth parades in which the workers
of the nation will march shoulder to
shoulder through gaily decorated
streets to the inspiring strains Of mar
tial music. Each trade and craft will
be represented by long lines of sturdy
self-respecting men and prettily-
gowned women, the source and main
stay Of the country's wealth and pros
perity. In Goldfeld the day will be
observed with less of the ceremonial
usually attaching thereto, as it is the
intention of the labor organizations
of the camp to unite in the celebration
of Railway Day, somewhat to the ex-
clusion of September 4, observance. At
Tonopah, however, an extensive cele-
bration has been programmed and many
Of the members of the local unions will
participate in the festivities at that
point. The customary sports viii be
INDUCED in, one of the most interesting
of which will be the single and double
hand drilling contests for large purses.

Sparks proclamation:
