CRIME" Or WHICH He IS CHARGED

grand jury the case seemed strongly
against me. But l was allowed by
them to appear a second time, after
had had an opportunity to refresh my
memory by an examination of the lists
and other records in my office out
side the roll
When 1 made this latter presenta,
ton to the jury. District Attorney
Phelps was absent. When he drew
up the jury's report in my case cit is
customary for him to draw up indict-
ments, etc. he was looking at ii in
the same light as 1t had been seen by
the jury before my second eXplana-
ton.
While l know within my own con-
science that did no wrong Intention
ally, and while 1 believe that now,
after have had time to survey tho
whole situation, that 1 could positive
ly convince any jury of my innocence,
yet under the circumstances as they
were made to appear, 1 am satisfied
with the findings of the jury and with
Mr.. Phelps. They are all fairminded,
intelligent, honest men.
My friends may feel that an injus-
tice has been done me, and 1 earnest
ly affirm that I have been deeply
wronged. but neither myself nor my
friends can justly find fault with the
jury.
As to w. p. Temple.
AS to w. P. Temple: If any assessor
would publish the facts within his
| knowledge, more than one man in
most communities would be seen in
a very different light from which he
is now seen. Assessors usually keep
cases of perjury to themselves. We
guard our county against the rascall-
; ty Of tax dodgers as best we can and
let 1t go at that.
But since Temple has attacked ne
in this matter with such terrible pos
sibilities of injury to myself, l fee
justified in holding him up in his trut
light He has resorted to various sub
terfuges to deceive me as to the value
of his property. For instance, HI
bought some land of Abe Molstron
for an actual consideration of $4,000
according to the testimony of two mel
who told me of it. But he had place.
in the deed a consideration of $40.
900. (See Deed Book 4, page 3S).
One of these witnesses told me tina
Temple hoped thus to cheat the coun
: ty out of a tax on $4,000 worth u
property. If he would defraud tn
county for gain, he would probabl
ruin me for the same reason. II
knows we'll that 1 am familiar wit
his property, and that while 1 hold oi
1 flee he can not escape taxation. Thi
| supposition is reasonable ana 1 believ
true. Respectfully

An Hour With Milton.

A very nice souvenir pro-
CANINE of can Hour With Mil
ton" has reached us from the
Corvallis Reading Club. The
most enjoyable hour was passed,
on this occasion, in the parlors
of Prof. and Mrs. J. B. Horner
last Tuesday evening. The Club
holds monthly meetings-eight
in the course of year, beginning
with the month of October and
continuing until the following
May. During the series of meet
ings many works of the most
famous writers for all time are
discussed.
Last Tuesday evening was de-
voted to the works of Milton.
Mrs. Minnie Lee was to have
read a biographical paper on
Milton, but was absent and her
paper was delivered by Miss
Pauline Kline. ''Paradise Lost
was read by Prof. F. Berchtold
in the absence of his wife. A
paper on "Current Events" bear
ing on the famous author and
his works was read by Mrs. J.
IF. Yates, and a vocal solo was
contributed by Mrs. M. S. Wood
cock. Mr.. Woodcock and others
made remarks appropriate to the
| occasion.
A delicious luncheon was serv.
ed and most highly appreciated.
The host and hostess on this
occasion did the honors in {
truly hospitable style, and the
former was voted the Joker Of th'
evening, which is ojoke. Thos'

John w. Wright.

John w. Wright died at 3 a.
m. yesterday morning at his home
about mile north of this city,
aged 50 years. His death was
caused by what is known as gout
of the foot and his extreme old
age hastened his end.
81 Johny Wright made Benton
county his home for about 50
years and had the respect and
canfdence of all who knew him.
He was never married and the
nearest relative he has is a brother
who lives in Pomeroy, Wash.
He also has relatives in the East.
During his lifetime he acquired a
little farm of 22 acres situated
about a mile north of this. city.
His remains will be inferred this
this morning at 10 O'Clock in the
Odd Fellows cemetery.

Another Innovation.

A couple of gentlemen are at
present at work in this city in
stalling Western Union time
pieces. These clocks resemble
the regulator in the average jewell
er's store, with the exception that
they cannot boast second hand.
They have only minute and hour
hands.
The Western Union Telegraph
Company installs them and those
who have a clock placed in their
establishments, or houses, pay a
certain monthly rental. That
some idea of this master time
keeping device may be given we
will briefly outline the plan
whereby the correct time reaches
our city:
In the somewhat recent past
time nsed to be reckoned by the
sun, but at present the various
observatories make their. calcula-
tons from a star. When the star
observed passes given point it
is twelve o'clock-noon. On this
coast time is reckoned from the
observatory at Mare Island and
the instant it is noon it is flashed
by electricity to the various towns
and cities on, the coast. In the
Western Union Telegraph Office
in this city is placed what is term
ed a "master-clock" and at noon
every day the correct time is
communicated to it from Mare
Island.
This local master clock controls
the other clocks that are installed
in our city and not only commu-
nicates, by means of electricity,
the noon hour, but every hour ol
the "a. These clocks that are
being installed about town have
a small battery placed at the tor
of them and the function of these
batteries is to wind the clocks.
This makes the clock self-wind'
ing and absolutely independent
lof any care whatever. It 1
