Effect of Voting Out Disperr-

mans has rendered an opinion th#
where sherifTs, magistrates ur
other officials make seizures iu
prohibition counties, they are Ell
titled to half of the spoils for ths
seizures they have made.
The question arose because OF
the doubt whether the repeal OF
the dispensary law was involvef
where county voted out tas
dispensary and whether by suti
vote the entire dispensary Law
was voted out, or whether the
provision as to a premium for
seizures still held good. Gen
Youmans thinks that such pro.
visions Of the dispensary law ara
not repealed in counties voting
out the dispensary, neither does
he think that the criminal para.
Of the disp .sary law are invoiv-

FOR ELECTRIC ROAD.
Corvallis and Bell.
IN Right Of way
Secured.

A scheme is afoot for an electric
railroad from Corvallis to the Bell
fountain country. 1t is to be a
theme at the meeting of the Citi-
zens League Tuesday evening, at
which time, Mr. Bennett and a
number of farmers from Bellfoun-
tain are expected to be present.
1t is also expected that W. D. De-
Varney will be in attendance.
Frank Bennett arrived in Benton
from the East a year ago and
bought a farm near Dusty. He is
familiar with the construction and
operation of electric roads. He has
secured the right of way for the
proposed road, and insists that
the line will be built If power can
be secured from the Cascade people
who are planning to come to Cor
wallis with electric power. The
cost of construction, Mr.. Bennett
says will not exceed 5000, 900. He
claims that the income from trans
portation of farm products along
the way will pay operating expens-
es and an annual dividend of X
per cent. It is claimed that Mr..
Bennett has Eastern connections
who will put up much of the money
If all arrangements can be perfected.

AS TO HARMONY.

Most of the efforts at republican
harmony in Oregon, and elsewhere,
seemed to be based on the under
standing that it is the other fellow
whe must be harmonious. There
is President Roosevelt. for in
stance, whom an Oregonian dis
pstch says helped to elect a demo-
Iratic governor in Ohio recently in
order to "harmonize' things in that
state. The same dispatch ayers
that the president also stood in
against the regular republicans in
Pennsylvania in the recent election
and is now bent on the destruction
of Odell in New York. In Oregon
1t is declared from the highest re-
publican authority that the only
basis of peace is for all the old par
ty warriors to be disarmed anc
sent to the real as party "ha!
beens." They must not participant
in future party councils. but only
new soldier men shall be allowed t.
bear arms and sit in the places o
authority. These are notes o
Harmony equal to those of Bo1
Fitzsimmous as he hurries to tea
his first wife's jewels from his tru
ant second wife now seeking a di
vorce at Sioux Falls.

is Longworth's "de-e.e lightful"

Physicians who have gained a national

avoided a long list of dangerous ailments

One Dollar Saved represents Ten

The average man does lot a v to exceed
ten per cent. of his earning. He must spend
nine dollars in living expenses for every
dollar saved. That being the case he can
not be too careful about unnecessary Ak
penses. Very often a few tents properly in
vested, like buying seeds ff his garden, will
save several dollars outlas later on. 1t is
the same in buying Chanberlain's Collie,
