The Horse Show.

On June I and there is to be
a mighty fine horse show in Cor.
Wallis. Horses of ali breeds
and every description will be
here from all surrounding coun.
ties as we'll as from all Benton.
All lovers of horsefesh should
plan to attend. The show is
evidently destined to be a draw
ing card. Even in Portland
there is knowledge of our horse
show, as is proved by the follow
ing which appeared in an Oregon
I'm of recent date:
Officers and members of the
Portland Commercial Club have
been extended an invitation to
attend the Benton county an
nual horse show, which will be
held at Corvallis June I-2.
There will be exhibited at the
show a collection of the finest
horses of all breeds throughout
the country and handsome prizes
will be warded. The show will
be held Under the auspices of the
Benton county Citizens League.
Corvallis has developed into
quite center for fine horses and
it is said there have been more
fine horses raised in Benton
county in the last five years
than in any other county in the
state. 1t is not an uncommon
thing for a team of draft horses
to sell for $500 to $500 and
thoroughbreds from $3.50 to $500
each.

An Excellent Lecture.

The Congregational church
was not large enough to ac'
commodate the crowd that de.
sired to hear the lecture of DR..
Anna Shaw, Thursday night,
and while the church was packed,
the crowd would have been larger
had there been seating capacity.
Miss Shaw spoke on the question
of woman's suffrage, and she
richly deserves the reputation she
enjoys as one of the best woman
orators in the United State:
today. .
Throughout her address, Mis-:
Shaw's fund OF wit kept the
audience in excellent humor.
She was heartily applauded al
various times and those dis.
agreeing with her sentiment:
could not fail to enjoy the
address, which was beyond the
ordinary.
Miss Shaw was given a recep.
ton Thursday afternoon from z
to 4 at the Congregations
church, by the ladies of that de,
nomination.

other measures containing eme1
gency clauses when no emergen-
cies existed, as, for example, in
the case of the bill to fix the
salary of the district attorney in
Klamath and Lake counties at
s., 900 instead of ST, 500. He
was willing to concede that this
raise of $500 year in salary was
necessary for the preservation OF
the public peace, health and
safety, and the act could not wait
ninety days to take effect.
In view of the tact that Cham
berlain was one of.tne ''conspira-
tors" in 1903 and helped defeat
the purpose of the emergency
clause before the Supreme Court.
and was not consistent after he
had sent his message to the leg

AN IMPROPER PRACTICE.
Much Importance Attached
Thereto.

aps IL q IllC1I1 llhO LEU ou1 AASGC
is already in the field for office, it
is nonsensical to talk a stranger
into an acceptance Of a nomina-
tion against him. Everybody
knows that Telt Burnett ought to
be reelected. It would be a
crime to turn down a man who
has given Benton county taxpay-
ers such peerless service as Telt
Burnett has given. His one act
of collecting taxes without an aid
when there is not another county
in the state that does not on such
occasions employ from 5 to %
deputies, is enough for the tax
payers to-insist upon his reten-
tion in his position. It is money
in the taxpayers pocket, it is
money in everybody's pocket, as
we'll as a source of pride to every
body to have a sheriff like Telt
Burnett, and what utter folly to
put up as a candidate against him
a young man who has hardly
been in the county long enough
to know the way to the county
seat.
The above was printed in the
Corvallis Times, May Is, and led
us to make the following COM
ment:
''Does the Times think that re-
publicans ought to support Telt
Burnett for the Times sake? Do
the republicans of this county
owe the Times anything? How
much money is contributed to the
Times Office in a year through the
sheriff's office? The Times may
know and this is the improper
practice" he has referred to in
his article of May 15-perhaps."
In view of our stand Mr.. Bur-
nett handed us the following af-
fidavit which he desired us to
publish:
State of Oregon, &C
County of Benton.{ 81
I, M. P. Burnett, being first
duly swoin depose and say on
my oath as follows: I am and
have been for twelve months
last past sheriff of Benton
County, Oregon.
That during said time there
has been paid to the Corvallis
Times on account of printing
passing through my office $50. 10
and no more, and that all print
ing done by said paper during
said period of time is included in
said $50. 10; that during same
period of time the Corvallis
Gazette has received for print
ing passing through my office
the sum of $72 .O8.
M. P. BURNETT.
Subscribed and sworn to before
me this 10Th day OF May, 1906.
E. r. BRYsON,
Notary Public for Oregon.
AS regards the above figures,
they stand only for a period of
one year out of six that Mr.. Bur-
nett has been sheriff. About
one-half the sum paid US was on
the publication of the delinquent
taS list sale, which was let by
bid. Had the Times been
the successful bidder the figures
would have been about as much
the other way.
1t might be we'll to remark
here that if we were able to
outbid our competitor and thus
save the county money on this
occasion, could we not have saved
the taxpayers of Benton some
thing on other things had we
been offered an opportunity to
bid?
What we should have said in
our article is How much money
is contributed to the Times Of
fee in a year through the sheriff S
Office and other county ofices?"
In order to make plain the particu-
lar source Of the Times interest
we shall produce the figures from
all Offices for the twelve months

Legislative Notes.

Few legislators were about the Capi-
lOl in Richmond yesterday. There were
less than a dozen in both chambers, and
those that wandered into the old haunts
spent little time there.
Governor Swanson is kept busy read
ing the bills over and atfixing his sigma
ture to them. He considers each matter
carefully. He has not yet vetoed a SOL
itary measure. He has signed The Fuller
bill, which prevents the redistriciing of
cities for political purposes This is
the bill which raised such disturbance
among the politicians in the city of Nor
folk.
The Senate and House met at noon
today, but the session was purely form
al, not occupying more than few mo-
ments. The report of the mysterious
amendment committee may be submit
ted today.
The special legislative committee APP
pointed in the closing hours of the Gen
eral Assembly to investigate the inser-
ton OF an alleged spurious amendment
in the engrossed copy of ii Portsmouth
water bond bill appears to be making
slow progress. A session was he'd yes
terlav morning which amounted to
practically nothing, neither of the two
witnesses summoned making his appear
snce. The telegram to Senator Thomas
failed to reach the addressee, while Mr.
Bland wired back thst all he knew o!
the matter was what he had learned from
Senator Neimeyer, who is a member of
the committee Another meeting of the
committee was held in The afternoon. Ii
is probable that report may be sub
milted to the legislature today. The
report will probably declare that no
signs of fraud have been detected by the
committee.
The legislative committee appointed
to investigate the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute is to begin its work about the

GENERAL WOODS description Of the
sanguinafy scenes in connection with the
recent slaughter of between six and nine
hundred natives of the Philippine Isl
apds by United States soldiers shows
that the Americans will have difficult
task to perform in the su5jugation OF
this determined people. The Filipinos
literally fought to the death, refusing
quarter, fighting members OF the amou-
lance corps who attempted to minister 10
their needs and resisting the surgeons
when placed upon operating tables. The
Americans, too, manifested determlna-
ton in ascending to the crater, where
the natives we're entfenched, under a
fusilsde of bullets, a shower OF lava and
other missiles, knowing that at the
summit the Filipinos would meet them
with bolos. The natives may be charged
with foohardiness, but that they were
as brave as any men who ever bore arms
must be allowed The Americans offer
in extenuation for their action the ale
CATION that the FilipinOs were common
outlaws, preying upon all who passed
in The vicinity of their stronghold. This
may or may not be fact. The natives
probably argued as logically as the rob
Der who was brought before Alexander
the Great, regarding the Americans as
wholesa plunderers and believing they
had perfect right to follow their voca-
ton on small scale.

short space of three months, and ac'
cording TO the information given to the
police by their parents and friends, most
of them are now said to be held in cap
tivity and suffering fortunes at the hands
of the negro dealers in white slaves.
