THAT property owners are at last
becoming convinced that money paid
ont for permanent improvements is
well invested and that the increased
value of their holdings after the inn
provements are made more than
makes up the assessments is shown
by the petitions for paving that are
coming in to the council. This desire
for improvements is mighty good
sign and should be encouraged by the
council in every way. The city can
we'll afford to pay its share of the cost
of any Improvements of the kind that
property owners are ready to make
even if the money has to be borrowed.

AFTER BIKE RIDERS

Chief Reino1d Orders the Arrest of All
vioIators of the Bicycle Ordinance
Chief of Police Reino1d this morn
ing issued an imperative order to all
memb ers of the police force for the
enforcement of the city ordinance
against riding bicycles on the side
walks, and the officers are ordered to
begin at once the arrest of all people
violating the ordinance. During the
winter months the police officers have
winked at violations Of the law, but
from now on no mercy will be shown
to the violators. It is stated that the
rule will apply to all riders regardless
of sex, color or previous condition of
servitude. The officers will start their
work this evening and it is expected
that the justice shops will be kept
busy for the next few days.

SOONER or later we must enforce the
speed ordinance against the motor
cyclists, and why not now2 Why

that is just what will happen if the
motorists are allowed to continue rid

such high speed. Some of these motor
cyclists are worse than the automobile

charging the expense up to those
responsible for the damage. We be-
lieve that the city could collect the
bills for repairs of the kind even if
they had to go into court to do it.
Now that the city is having trouble
with contractor McGovern it might be
a good move to repair the damage
done the pavements by his sewer dig
ging machine and use the bill for the
work as an Offset to any claim he may
make good against the city. It looks
now as if the city would have to pay
him something but there is no sense
in handing him out good money now
and then trying to collect from him
for the damage to the pavements
later. Get it all in on the one settle
rlent.

The 1906 bulletin of the Wisconsin
Interscho1astic Athletic association
has just been issued, announcing this
years eligibility rules and giving all
the necessary facts about the annual
interscholastic. meet, which is to be
held at Madison on May %. The
number of events and the rules for
eligibility are the same as last year.
The only new departure in the regular
program is the way that the pole vault
is to be run off,. For the last few
years that event has not been finished
until after the crowd had left the
grounds, so this year the bar will be
started at feet o inches and will then
be moved at once to 9 feet. There
after it will be moved four inches each
time until only four contestants re-
main. Then the judges will move the
bar according to their Judgment.
E. d. Angel will direct the meet.
One thing that is especially empha-
sized is that each principal must fill
his entry blanks with all the required
data and send them to Chairman

KICKED AT A DOG.
And hit a Wa11-The Luck
less Dream of a Corva11isite.

Jesse Spencer had a strange
dream, the other night. He
dreamed that he was offended at a
canine. 1t was a lowborn, NANCY
cur of a dog with no respect for
God or man, and apparently 70
desire but to bark and growl at ev-
erybody and everything within its
particular horizon. At last its
conduct became unbearable to Jesse
and be determined to kick the un.
civil cur. He summoned all his
strength and when, according to
: his judgment, the canine was at
exactly the proper distance and in
suitable attitude to be we'll and
scientifically kicked, Jesse let drive.
But it wasn't the ugly cur that
uttered a yell of pain. 1t was
Jesse. In his sleep, and in his
wrath, his toe struck, not the dog,
but the bed room wall, and that
too, with an impact that made the
windows rattle. To heighten the
trouble brought on by this nasty
but imaginary sooner of dorg,
Jesse's toe is badly affected with
ingrowing nail, and of course, that
spot hit the wall the hardest.
The tee is gently handled now,
and as precaution against future
accidents Jesse ties pair of brass
knuckles on it at night time,
and sees to it that his wife is safely
out of the room in case of a recur-
renee of, the dream of the ornery
dorg and his effort to kick it.

THINGS THEY SAY.
About Ordinances That are In
Operative-A Woman's
.. Opinion.

The TIMES has been commended
by a number of people for an ar
ticle in Tuesdays issue relative to
certain city ordinances to which no
attention is paid. Among others
who have mentioned the matter is
a lady who called the Office up by
phone and after expressing appre-
citation of the article said: I'VE
have been thinking all along of
building a home n this city, and at
one time had about determined to
do so; but with cess pools main
tained on many blocks where there
are sewers and water and with 9TH
er nuisances being maintained in
complete defiance Of city laws, we
have simply delayed building to see
whether city affairs will take turn
for the better.'' There is no doubt
in the world but the growth
and progress of the town is in a
measure retarded by the very con-
ditions to which this Corvallis
woman alludes. Among the or
dlnances that are very largely
imperative are sthese: Requir
ing grass to be cut in the streets
prohibiting gates from swinging
over Sidewalks; prohibiting use OF
barbed wire within the city limits
prohibiting cess pools and requiring
water closets to be connected with
sewers where laterals have been
built.

PREFER GARDEN FARM.
For County Poor-County
Court will Sell or Rent
New County Farm.

At the April term of circuit court
for Benton county, the grand jury
made a report recommending the
purchase by the county of a farm
near Corvallis. to be used as the

with, the county court purchased
$50 acres formerly known as the

miles from Corvallis. The price
paid was $35 per acre, At this
weeks meeting, the commissioners
court authorized the county judge
to receive orders for the sale or rent
of the farm at his discretion and to
make investigation with view to
purchasing a smaller tract.
The order of the court, is as fol
lows: "On July II, 1906, the pres
ent county court went out to said
farm and made personal examina-
ton of the land and its buildings,
and among other things to consider
its adaptability to the purpose for
which it was intended when pur-
chased.
"Now, having fully considered
this matter, this court does not con-
slider it advisable or for the best in
terest of Benton county to expend
of the county funds an additional
amount necessary to erect suitable
buildings and make such other i'm
provements as would be necessary
to prepare the place for comfort
able home for Our county charges.
The court further considers that a
small tract of good land suitable
for gardening as better adapted tc
this purpose. Therefore, it is or.
dered that the county judge be, and
he is hereby authorized to receive
offers to purchase or to rent said
farm and to report the same to thi:
court at its next reg gular term"

.CUMMINS.

In the triumph of Governor
Cummins for nomination to a third
term In Iowa, there is significant
illustration of the trend of the time.
He Is of the new type Of statesman.
He stands for tariff revision and
against rail road and trust aggra1l-
dizement. Opposed to him were
Mr.. Roosevelt's secretary of the
treasury, and all the backing that
the stand pat interests could mus
ter. The struggle was as fierce as
tt was decisive, and the reform gov
ernor is an easy and overwhelming
winner.
The voter: of Iowa has been
cajoled and duped with twaddle
about ''protection" andits blessings
until he has heard finally that as a
result of the system the English
man, the German, the Frenchman
and other foreigner buys American
products long ways cheaper than
he does, and that the great big
advance he is compelled to pay is
what enriches the protected
trust baron and keeps him poor.
He has heard that under this sys'
tenn Russia bought Carnegie ar-
NOR plate at $24o a ton when ou.
government was paying $500 to
500 per ton for exactly the same
article, the facts of which were
actually reported to congress by a
congressional committee, which ad
ded that the outside cost of armol
plate was $500 per ton. Having
head these and similar transactions
most of the Iowa republicans stood
in with their tariff-revision govern
