TO END "BAR'L" POLITICS
CORVALLIS

The Times made a vigorous fight
for Statement Number I. and. in
spite of newspaper opposition to it
in their own party, all the republi-
can legislative candidates have
signed. The gentlemen have made
no mistake, as the future will dem
onstrate. The next duty of Benton
republicans is to see to it that Mr..
Jonathan Bourne gets no support
among them for United States SEN
ator. He organized conspiracy
at Salem which aborted a whole
legislative session by preventing
organization of the house. That
kind of a political crime against the
people cannot be pardoned, nor the
man who did it be forgiven. At
the coming primaries, let our peo-
pie show the test of the state that
"bar'l' politics cannot succeed in
Benton.

A NEW PEST.
The Lady Believed she had
Discovered Proved to be a
Familiar one.

AS to caterpillars, here is a true
story on the subject. A Corvallis
lady who worked with her fruit
trees on fine day recently, dis
covered ridges around the branches
and trunk in many places, The
color was almost the same as the
bark. She thought the phenom-
enon queer and concluded after ex-
tended investigation that it was a
new pest, not before reported. She
succeeded by considerable effort,
in dislodging number of the rings
from the branches, and put them
away in the house, A day or
two ago. she told a fr lend of the
incident and went to gethe rings to
show the guest the new pest. Her
CONSERVATION was lifted to a high
pitch when to her dismay she found
that what she thought to be solid
rings was In reality caterpillar eggs.
and further. that the warm air of
the room had hurried the hatch
ing process and that little cater
pillars from the rings were crawl
ing about the place. From the in
cident those who have fruit trees
may find a way destroy the cater
pillars by the wholesale by attack
ing them while they are yet un-
hatched.

LIBEL AND DAMAGES.
Charged Crininal1y and Other
wise Mr.. James and his
Article.

The trial of the case against W.
H. James for libel, in the Benton
county circuit court will not take
place in the November term. Mr.
James was indicted on the charge
because of an article he is alleged
to have written and circulated
against 6. w. Parker. The two
are neighbors, residing on adjoin
ing ranches half dozen niles
southwest of Philomatb. Both
have lived there for several years,
and the accounts are that neighbor-
ly relations between the two have
notl always run smooth as the
brooks by which they sported as
boys. There is in fact, story ex-
t, Mt of hostile meeting out on the
hillside in their neighborhood in
which there was gun play to the
extent of the fourishing Of a re-
volvere with cold steel barrel, and
a memo cling mien. The suit for the
$5, 900 damages against Mr.. James
on account of the article will also
be tried at the November term, so
that there will be lively times
among the Jameses about those
days. Mr.. James formerly resided
on Soap Creek.
At the late term, after the in
dictment was brought in, Mr..
James was arraigned and put under
$3.50 bonds for future appearance at
court. He will plead at the ad-
journed term of court to be held
June 9th.

CORVALLIS, OREGON,
TUESDAY EVENING APRIL 3, 1906.
SUNDAY NIGHTS INCIDENT.

The incident of Sunday night
in which a quartette of boys threw
eggs at an evangelist as he passed
along the street was wrong. The
fact that the minister had said some
things better left unsaid is not jus,
ti6cation. The act of unknown
persons who exaggerated to the
preacher such evils as may exist in
this town partly caused the affair.
All towns have their contingent of
people who go TO preachers aud
newspapers and want others ripped
up but always end the tale with the
request, "but don't mention my
name These breathed exagger.
ated stories into the evangelist's
ears, he poured them out in the pull
pit, some who heard went away and
exaggerated what he said, people
who had not heard were angered by
the wonderful accounts OF what was
supposed TO have been said and
were not slow to resort to crimina-
ton and denunciation, most of
which was hurled at the pulpiteer.
Boys are not men. That some of
them should have been grossly
misled by what they had heard is
not amazing. Whether their of.
Tense is greatest or not, they are the
ones to suffer, because their act is
wholly indefensible.
If one doesn't like a preacher,
the thing to do is not to go to
hear him. If others like him, let
them be his audience. If he says
Objectionable things, pay no atten-
ton to them, for if, untrue, they
will be their own denial. And,
finally, preachers should pay no at
tention to people who tell great
big tale of iniquity and end it with,
''but don't mention my name"
These simple rules if observed will
be sure preventative of such In.
cidents as that of Sunday evening.

THEPOOR HOUSE CASE,
VIII be Tried at November
Term Something About
the Affair.

One of the last scenes in the late
term of the circuit court was the
arraigning of Mrs. Higgins and
Andrew Campbell on a charge of
giving and disposing of opium
without license~and without being
a practicipg physician" What the
evidence in the case is, of course,
is known only othe grand jury and
the district attorney. 1t is under
stood that the matter referred to the
administering Of the drug to Charles
Tower. All sort Of vague rumors
went the rounds while the witness
es were being examined by the
grand jury Simmered down to
the naked facts, however, it is un
derstood that the medicine was Civ
en- in the same way that it is often
used under similar circumstances,
and with no other than the best of
intentions. Tower was suffering
at the time with bowel trouble, and
is declared to have already been
in the throes of death when to re-
lieve him temporarily, opium was
administered. This is the story as
it is told by friend of the family
who is familiar with the manage
ment of the poor house.
The case will be etried at the Nov.
ember term of court. The defend
ants were placed under $3.50 bonds
for appearance.

TROUBLE WITH IT.
A Sewer that Carried off Dirt
Faster Than Workmen
Could Fiji It up.

There has been trouble with the
Davis-Hyland Lee sewer lateral.
The dirt that covered it kept mys-
teriously caving and disappearing.
AS fast as the hole would be filled
up, the filling would begin to melt
away, and in a short time the cav
ern would be as big as ever. The
fumes from the opening became ex-
tremely odious to the neighbor-
hood, and an investigation finally
disclosed the fact that a joint of
pipe connecting with an upright
drain was defective, and that it
was through this opening that the
dirt escaped into the sewer and was
then carried off by the water drain
into the river. A new joint of pipe
was put in, and the upright connec-
ton. which had been made without
authority, was taken away and the
drain closed up. There is an or
dinance requiring all persons
ing tapping sewers to first get au-
thority from the proper officials,
and providing a heavy penalty for
violation of the provisions. This
course is necessary in order to see
that all connections are proper. By
no other means can the sewers be
protected and the sanitary condi-
tions be kept In the best shape.
