Talk Regarding Case.

The entire stock of J. K.
Berry, taken charge of last Sat
urday evening by Sheriff Burnett
on complaint and writ of attach
ment on authority of A. W.,
Fischer, has been invoiced and
removed to the court house by
the sheriff. Occurring just at
this season of the year Mr.. Berry
finds himself peculiarly placed.
The matter will come before the
November term of circuit court,
and the intervening months are
the ones for doing business in
the bicycle line; SO this makes it
pretty hard on Mr.. Berry. Just
what he shall do in the future he
is not determined.
From what we can learn, it
seems that something more than
one year ago Mr.. Berry and Mr..
Fischer joined issues and purchas-
ed an automobile, the price of
which was in the ne:ghborhood
OF 5000. Mr.. Berry did not at
that time possess the means to
pay for his half Of the wheel, SC
Mr.. Fischer advanced Mr.. Berry
5000 aud took a pote for th--
same. Later, Mr.. Fischer sod
his interest in the wheel to Betty
land received another note 70
something like 5000. The fif>'
note came due and was paid b5
a renewal, or another note.
i It is claimed by those pose
in the matter, that neither of tbs
Hast notes are yet due. It is a
Iold saying that you can't put !
imam in Jail for debt, and on tbs
tline, should our information be

CITIZENS LEAGUE.
Annual Meeting for Election of
Officers Held Last Monday
Evening.

The Benton County Citizens
League held its regular meeting
in the county court room last
Monday evening, April 3rd. 1t
being the regular time for the
election of officers, the following
named business men were duly
elected by a unanimous vote of
the league: B. w. johnson, pres
ident; J. A. Harper, 1st vice-pres-
ident; J. H. Simpson, and vice
president; John F. Allen, secre-
tary, and Walter Wiles, treasur-
er.
A great many important busi-
ness matters were freely discussed
by the members and many plans
were laid for developing and ad-
yertising the undeveloped wealth,
healthfulness and grand climate
of Benton county. The league
has done much in the past for
Corvallis and Benton county, and
a vigorous effort will be made the
coming 'sLewis and Clark" year
to make Benton county the most
prominent county in the State of
Oregon. We have the best coun-
ty already, and the Citizens
League proposes to advertise it
SO to the million people who will
visit our Fair and state this sum-
mer.
What we want is the, support
of every business man in Corval-
lis and Benton county. In the
past few have had to do all the
work-all are wanted to lend a
hand in future. "In Unity There
is Strength" and if we all get
our shoulder to the wheel we can
bring and locate in Benton coun-
ty within the next year and a-halt
at least 10000 people.
Why some of the business men
should be SO dead to their own
interests is a puzzle to many. A
you increase your population yor
