have the French lawmakers shown
more careful thought, more justice,
stronger fellow feeling for the
sects which have been supported by
the state since 1901. Every clause
of the law was weighed in all it's de-
tails by men who are the brains of
the nation, and who knew that they
were working at something that would
end by bringing peace and good will
to the whole nation. The salaries
of 10000 priests will not be stopped
at once. Thanks to the ninth article
of the law. The abolition of the
salaries will take place in eight years.
Up to the end of 1906 the salaries of
priests in the poor communes will
be paid in full. From 1907 to 1917
two-thirds, then one-half and then
one-third of the salaries will be paid.
After 1913 the state will reserve sew
eral millions for the payment of life
pensions to disabled priests. This
great law, which will be called the law
of 1901, is the work of the great
jurist consul. Waldeck-Rousseau and
also of Emil Combes without whose
great determination and executive
power it would not have gone through !;
he is the builder of the edifice. and
deserves as much credit as the found.

A EARTY WELCOME.

Quite a number of Montana's fire
fighters arrived on last nights train
and more will be in today. They
should be given cordial greeting
by our citizens. It goes without
saying that the members of the To-
cal department, though few in num-
bers, will do all in their power to
make the meeting success, both from
a business and social standpoint But
our people can do much to help them
out.
The problems which the association
has 10 study and contend with are of
vital concern to the business interests
of every city. AS a city grows the
danger from fire increases and as the
revenues are small, or there is such
varied demand upon them, IL is i'm
portant that the best methods OF fight
| ing fire with the limited means that
can be used for that purpose be care
| fully considered.
! Members of the city council ant
business men generally, who can spare
the time. should attend some of thu
meetings in order that they may be
come informed as to the needs of th'
local department in the future.
No doubt the ladies can also d
much in a social way to make tn
meeting success. The true fireman
is equal TO a soldier in gallantry an
we dare say there will be many her
who would be pleased TO meet tn
. bellies and danes of I.ewistown at tn
social functions to be given.

with them nothing but pleasant men
. ories of Lewistown. We have n

Official Paper Of Benton County.
CORVALLIS, OR, JULY !, 1905.
EMERYS LETTER.

Mr.. Emery journeyed to Dallas
because of his "interest in the well
fare of Our beautiful little city" 3"
He says he learned there that great
indignities had been heaped by the
Dallas city council upon his uncle,
Mr.. T. V. B. Embree. The uncle,
in an affidavit in another column in
this issue, says in effect that his
nephew from Corvallis romanced.
Mr.. Emery, in his article, says the
Dallas city council by ordinance is
working great hardships On the
people of Dallas. Dan. P. Stoufer
for ten years police judge of Dallas
declares in his affidavit elsewhere
in the TIMES that Mr.. Emery S
statement in this particular, is un
true. -
In his article Mr.. Emery declares
the TIMES statements with refer
ence to insurance reductions to be
incorrect, but admits the insurance
on brick buildings to be reduced
IL 1-2 per cent. What about their
contents? Now Charles F. Belt,
ex-postmaster of Dallas, leading
druggist and prominent citizen, de
c1ares to the TIMES that insurance
rates were reduced 10 to 80 per
cent, with an average of IS per
cent, and he points to the insurance
rate book in proof.
- In view of the facts, the question
is, if it really was his ''interest in
the future welfare of Our beautiful
little city, that took Mr.. Emery
to Dallas, why did he come back
and misrepresent the facts? Is
he seeking to give Corvallis people
the truth, or does he seek to de-
ceive them? For reply, the TIMES
is Compelled to point to the afi-
davit of Mr.. Enery's uncle.

IF IT CANT,-IT CAN'T.

One of the cabal who is trying
to fasten Willamette water on Cor
wallis for an indefinite period of
years, argues this way: He says
the projected system cannot be
built for the $4,000. Well. what
of that? Is that reason for any
body to vote against water next
Thursday?
If it cannot be built for the $75.-
coo, what is the use of these trips
to Dallas? What is the use of
publishing the ''Expediter?" What
is the use of all this effort of the ca
bal to keep its movements secret,
these midnight meetings with Will
lamette water men? If the system
cannot be built for the $4,000.
that is all there is oft. and there
is no use of all this effort to beat
the thing in election. If it takes
more money, the whole thing will
stop itself. that's all. Ifbids show
ed the works would cost $50, 900,
does anybody suppose the commit
.teemen would be fools enough to
try to build it with $4,000?
The committeeman are authorIz-
Ell by the law to spend so much.
They cannot spend one penny
more. If they should spend more
they would have to pay it out of
their own pockets. If the works
cannot be built for $4,000, that
settles the whole business. But
hadn't we better for fear of a mis-
take, vote to authorize bond issue,
so that in case the cost be right,
the committee might go ahead?
