AN ESSAY.
On Umbrellas andthe Theft of Them
Stealing Prsvalent--in Town.

The TIMES has been requested
to write this essay on the wicked
ness of stealing an umbrella. The
fruit tree has its San Jose scale, the
apple its Goblin Moth, and the
owner of an umbrella, his light
fingered friend. A gentleman in
the community loitered for 4 brief
period at the college the other day
and when he came back down
town, he had to buy two new UNI
brellas. A well known young lady
met with a similar experience On a
similar occasion, save that she only
had one umbrella to buy.
It was William Shakespeare
who said: He who steals my
purse steals trash, but he who
steals my umbrella is a knock
kneed, low-down SKUNK" or words
to that effect. Of course it rains
but little in Oregon, and an UNI
brella is seldom needed, but when
a gentleman Or a lady wants an UNI
brella, he or she wants itbad. One
has but little use for an umbrella
in Corvallis except to keep the sun
off and save the complexion, but
that is not the business of the UNI
bre1la thief. His theft is an un-
bearable proceeding, and is not a
joke, but a tragedy.
A certain man in town has offer
ed $40 reward for the apprehension
of any person who steals his um-
brella, but it is a well known fact
that he never had an umbrella and
has none now. Several we'll known
gentlemen about this town always
sport fine umbrellas but never were
known to buy one, and that is what
angers the parties who lost their
parasols at the college. 1t might
be added that one of the umbrellas
stolen there was shanghaied from q
gentleman who had borrowed it,
and that is where the shoe pinches.
Some persons are child1ike enough
to always be believing that they
left their latest umbrella some place
when in fact that was not the way
they lost it a tall-a light fingered
friend got it.
The TIMES inserts advertisements
for lost" umbrellas at IS cents
an issue OF three for a half, and ha:
been successful in restoring them,

IS DISPLAYED NOW.
County Exhibit-Is IN Place in
Court House Makes Fine
Showing.

When the stranger comes to Cor
Wallis now, it will be of interest for
him to step around to the court
house and e the county exhibit.
There, the resources of the county
are very well illustrated. At a
glance c n be seen in a general way
those things that Benton soil, for
ests, streams, and mountains best
product. Sheaves of grain, long
er than a man, grasses as fine as
can be grown, samples of wood,
fruit, wool. mohair, vegetables,
game birds and other things Of in
terest,-all these are in generous
profusion about the room, neatly
displayed. and interesting even to
the old resident Of the county.
Those who haven't seer the dis
play should take the trouble to have
a view of it. It is certain that
there will be revelations wen to the
old timer.
The exhibit is permanently
housed in what was formerly the
private Office Of the county clerk.
The walls r hung to a height of
several feet with black velvet. With
this IS a back ground, the samples
Of sheaf grain are displayed, and
the effect is very fine. They rest
On panels of hardwood that formed
the counters in the county exhibit
at the late Lewis and Clark Fair.
4 handsome glass case contains
samples of wool and mohair, scour
ed and unsecured. and is a slightly
display. Another glass case is filed
with bottled fruit and bottl d vege-
tables, dried fruits and kindred
specimens. Shelves display glass
Jars filed with shelled grains of all
kinds, vegetables, including buck
wheat. corn and other cereals. In
the wood samples are two OF three
pieces of curly maple of beautiful
grain. One of these is in the sam
pies provided for the Fair exhibit
by Squire Rycraft and Captain Ma
lone of Alsea Valley, and on which
appear the names Of the present Of
fcials Of Benton. A section of an
oak tree, a foot in diameter, shows
the horns ola deer embedded in its
fibre TO a depth of FIVE or six inches
the growth Of the tree having slow
ly enveloped the horns. It is. a
freak of nature that came from the
McBee glace, and attracted much
attention at the Fair.
The Benton county schoo1exhib-
it is displayed, showing pictures of
domestic animals, maps and other
interesting drawings. 1t ought to
be more extensive. Game birds
occupy a prominent place on the
moulding above the sheaf grains.
There are photos Of scenes in the
county and Corvallis, including the
Corvallis churches and college build
ings. There are many, very many
things for a stranger or a visitor to
; see. The exhibit will be kept re-
plenished. 1t will be ready for use
at any time for exhibitions at State
Fairs or otheraindustrial shows.

Official Paper of Benton County.
CORVALLIS, OREGON,
FRIDAY EVENING FEB. q, 1906.
IF THEY WANT 1T,

Undoubtedly, the purpose of
those who framed the primary ell
ection law was to have the June
election settle the question Of what
man was to be senator. The tunc-
ton of the primary election IS to
determine what one of all the re-
publican candidates shall be the re
publican nominee for senator. and
what one of the democratic cand1-
dates is to be the democratic nom
inee. If then, the June election is
not to finally and effectively settle
the question of which of the nom
inees is to be the senator. why are
they voted for at all in the regular
state election. If that vote is not
for the purpose of eliminating all
but one of them from the field,
what is it for. The only possible
conclusion is that this June vote
was designed for the rejection of all
but one of the nominees, and the
selection of that one as the peoples
choice for senator, this choice to be
subsequently legalized and ratified
by the legislature.
Acquiescence in this plan would
give to the people of the state,
practical election of senator by di-
rect vote. 1t is in their hands to
say whether or not they want to
select a senator themselves, or leave
it to a legislative mob and all the
disgrace and scandal that method
entails. The primary law places
the senatorship completely in their
hands, if they see fit to reach cut
and seize the power it offers them.
