SENT TO CALIFORNIA.
The Destitute Family-Sheriff Took
Them to Albany and put Them
on the Train.

The Turpin family, whose woes
were mentioned in Tuesdays
TIMES are in California. Twenty.
five dollars was their all, and there
were eight in the family. including
an aged grandmother with mash
ed foot, and little boy with
broken back. Their horizon bad
more clouds on it than commonly
falls to mortals. They applied to
the county court for assistance, and
after full investigation of the case
by Sheriff Burnett and County
Judge Walters. it was deemed best
as we'll as cheaper to help them
along their way to where there was
promise of assistance for them in
California. Near Montague, they
claimed an old friend had a farm
that was at their disposal if they
could once reach the place. After
thorough investigation $45 was ap-
propriated and Sheriff Burnett took
the family to Albany, where with
what money they had, tickets were
purchased and they were put on
board the train and sent to the Cal.
ifornia destination.
1t was the best, in fact the only
thing to be done under the circum.
stances; for if they had remained in
town most of the family would have
been on the county long before the
end of the winter. On the contrary
when they reach their destination,
they will probably become self-sup-
porting.

FARMER SAYS IT.
Indignation in the Country Against
Mike Kline and his FlunkieS.

A we'll known anti-option farmer
in town the other day, gave it as
his opinion that Mike Kline and his
satellites are doing more to make
local option sentiment in Benton
county than all other influences
combined. In his neighborhood,
this farmer says, many pronounced
anti-optionists are declaring that
when it comes up again, they iu-
tend to vote for local option.
eff by a vote Of nearly two to
one," he said, ''old residents of
Benton county declare intoxicants
shall not be sold, and a total strang-
er comes in here and by his act de-
clares liquors shall be sold, and
proceeds to sell them, it is no sur.
prise that there is geceral indigna-
ton. AS it appears to most people
the situation is,-the people of Ben.
ton county say nay; Mike Kline
comes in, a stranger, and says yea
and he proceeds to turn the people
down and to do as he pleases. The
tact that he has supporters, proves
that some of the liquor interests
like Broders, are behind him. That
is what is making sentiment for 10
cal option. and if the. present status
of things continues the next time
the question is voted on. the vote
will be a protest against Mike
Kline and his methods, and the
majority will be 1000"

SELLING BONDS.
Bids are to be Opened Next Monday
Night-Local Bids Expected.

Next Monday night is the time
for opening bids for the proposed
issue of $4,000 in Corvallis water
bonds. Three weeks ago bids were
opened on the same proposition,
but all were turned down. The
call was on four per. cent bond,
and all the bids were on a Eve per
cent basis. Many letters were be-
fore the Water Board, the same be.
ing from banking houses and bond
buyers all over the country, in
which it was made manifest that
call for bids at a higher interest
rate would bring forth many bids.
The result was that the interest
rate was made FIVE per cent, and
new call issued. There is every
reason to expect that many bids
will be received, and that the bonds
will go at a good premium. One
of the bids opened On the former
call offered premium of about
5000. That is, the purchasers o.
fered $4,000 for the entire issue of
$4,000. 1t is regarded as certain
that even better premium will be
realized in the bid as a result of
next Monday nights bidding.
1t is known that several local
capitalists intend to be bidders for
small amounts Of the bonds. The
fact is that with the large amount
of money lying unused in the banks
the whole issue ought to be taken
in Benton county. There is no
safer, better, or more convenient
or satisfactory investment in the
world. The fact that banking
houses in Chicago recently offered
a premium of 5000 on the issue,
shows how 6nanciers regard the
securities, 1t is probable that in
order to get what they want of the
bonds, local bidders may have to
pay a slight premium. Several
local holders of money have made
inquiry and signi6ed an intention
of getting hold of some of the bonds
if possible. The way to do in order
to get some idea of the premium
that might have to be paid is for
these local buyers to seek inform
alton of local bankers.
The bids are required to be In
the hands of the clerk of the Water
Board at five O. click Monday after
noon. They are to be opened in
the council chamber at 7:3o O. clock.

BROUGHT TEN CENTS.
Last Years lot of Whitaker Hops
The Crop was Shipped Yesterday.

Yesterday morning a famous lot
of hops was shipped out of Corval-
lis. 1t was 156 bales of last year S
crop on the Whitaker farm. made
more than usually notable by rea-
son of the litigation of which they
have been the subject. Indeed, the
case indirectly involving the ques-
ton of who has title to them, is
pending in the supreme court on an
appeal from Benton county. Fabre
& Neis of Albany claimed the lot
under an extended hop contract.
The Whitakers, Frank and John,
claimed there was no contract. The
case was tried at the November
term of the circuit court year ago.
anda jury found for the Whitakers.
The case was appealed by Fabre
& Neis, and will soon reach final
determination.
Meantime, sale of the hops was
more difficult because of the 1itiga-
ton in which they were involved.
Prices for a time were at thirty
cents and better, but no sale was
made. The decline in prices OF
course struck them, and the account
is that they went to a San Fran
cisco buyer at 10 cents per pound.
They have been stored for a long
time in the warehouse of Mr.. Bo.
dine.

ARRIVED AT OAKLAND.
0. A. c. Football men-All are in
Good Condition.

Oakland, October 27.-The Ore
gen Agricultural College team ar
rived here at eight o'clock this
morning, and is quartered at Ho-
tel Touraine. All the men are
we'll, and but little fatigued by the
Journey. They are to turn out for
practice on Berkeley field this after
noon, the California management
having given them exclusive use
of the field. The question of the
lineup is still unknown, but the inl-
preston is general among the boys
that the game will open with Walk
er at tackle, and Cherry at center.
The sore spots from last Saturday S
game have mostly disappeared, and
by tomorrow afternoon. every man
in the bunch will be in excellent
condition for the game. The kick
off is to be at 3 O clock. The wealth
er here is beautiful, with chance
that it will be quite warm for to-
morrow afternoon game. The
boys all send greetings.
There is no newspaper talk here
about the game. The team went
through light signal practice this
morning, in which everything NOV
ed off satisfactorily to DR.. Sickle.
A stranger at Our hotel told us of
his dream that Berkeley found the
horseshoe but not until after we
had won it. Tell Bill Laurence
to take complete care of that bullet
hole in his leg.

FOURTEEN DIED.
Cattle that ate Well Known Weed
Discovery at the College.

An explanation has been found
at the college for the death of IA
head of cattle recently on the farm
of Mr.. Brown near Gervais, Mar
ion county. Samples of the intes-.
tines and stomach of the dead ami
mails were sent by the Marion coun.
ty stock inspector to Prof. Pernot
for examination, and along with
them statement of the mortality
among MI. Browns cattle. After
long search with the microscope,
the case was about to be abandoned
when an inhamed condition was
finally found in a section of the in
testines. This led to renewed
study of the pats, and it was at
length discovered that the fecal mat
ter in the intestines was studded
with seeds from Pig Weed or Red
Root. a weed that is very common
in the Willamette valley. Then it
developed that in the mucuous mem.
brane of the intestines were great
numbers of the minute spines or
stickers that abound on the pods
which contain the seeds of the
plant. These spines are composed
mainly of silica and are insoluble
in the juices of the stomach. and
in fact are not even softened by
their contact with the juices of the
organs into which they pass. From
the mucuous membrane they pass
into the intestinal wall, causing a
high state of Inflammation and the
auima1 dies of acute gastritis.
The discovery leads to the an
nouncemeut that the we'll known
weed should before it goes to seed
be removed from pastures frequent
ed by cattle. Livestock, it is said,
will not eat it until the weed goes
to seed. and until other forage is
exhausted. Then, however, they
eat it for the small nourishment
contained in the seed, and along
with it take into their intestines the
destructive spines found on the
pods. Always, late in the summer
I or early in the autumn, before fall
rains start the grass, there Is more
or less trouble of the kind suffered
by Mr.. Brown, and pathological
specimens find their way to the col.
1ege. For years past these speci,
mems have been studied, but it was
not until the instance above related
that the secret of the trouble was
actually unraveled.
| Pig Weed is we'll known, anc
stockmen will have no trouble il
the future in avoiding loss by re-
sort to ordinary prudence.

Two Quaint Characters.

Sleeker and Toby are two of the
quaint characters in "a Human
Slave which comes to the Opera
House next Tuesday night, which
will be at once popular with the
audience. This young man and
woman are two diamonds in the
rough. They are bit uncultured
it is true, but under a rough and
rugged exterior they are as true
as steel, and as warm hearted and
sympathetic as the most refined
woman. 1t is the very poor who
know how to be kind. to be gener-
Gus, and telling picture of gen
uine sacrifice is shown by the roles
of Sleeker and Toby in this fine
production.

WITH YELLS AND MUSIC.
Great Crowd of Students Started Foot

Of big crowd of spectators, the o.
A. c. football men pulled out of
the c. & E. station on the six
o'clock train Wednesday evening

the boys off. DR.. Sickle and

am. Besides the regular eleven,
Porter6eld, Little and Cherry went
as reserves. At Albany a pri.
vate car was in waiting for the
boys, and it was switched on to the
Overland when the latter arrived
about eleven o'clock.
The game with California is to be
played at three o clock Saturday af-
ternoon. The lineup of the Ore
gon men will be changed somewhat
as result of the absence of Lau-
renee from the team. The change
will necessarily reduce the precision
and speed of the team work and
somewhat weaken the offense. To
what extent this will be the case
cannot be estimated, because the
team las never been seen under fire
with the lineup that will probably
prevail. The general impression is
that Dow Walker will play tackle,
mostly, and that Cherry will go to
center. Another possible arrange
ment is with Walker as usual at
center and Abraham at tackle.
The only trouble with the latter
plan is that though four years a
tackle, Abraham has always played
on the right side of the line and his
form would Be bad for holding
down left tickle. A great deal of
confidence is felt in the team, and in
DR.. Sickle whose masterful strate.
gy and detail will be great factors
in the play, but it is, at the same
time ren1ized that the California
team will be at its very best when
the game is played, and the many
interested are meantime in great
suspense.
Bulletins from the game are ex
pected by the Times by four
O'Clock. Complete arrangements
have been made for bulletins dur
ing, between and after each half,
and brief story giving details, the
latter of which should arrive short
ly after six o'clock. The final
score should be had by FIVE or five
thirty o clock.
