WARRANTS BRING CASH.
Paying State Tax-Sixty-f five Thousand
Turned Over to Treasurer by Sher-
iff in Benton.

Benton county is paying cash as
she goes. When the warrant is

of indorsing it mot paid for want
of funds" he draws a check for the
amount, and the bearer goes off
happy. The new arrangement be-
gan last week under call for war
rants by the treasurer which called
In all county orders outstanding.
The present is the fifth year in sue
cession in which the county has
made this showing. 1t is usual
for cash to be paid for three or
four months. and then the money
box gets empty and warrants are
issued for the balance of the year.
Last year, which was the final year
in the four years of the Waters ad-
ministrarion the condition prevail
ed for more than two months. 1t
is believed that there is sufficient
sum available for the county to
pay cash the coming three months.
The sheriff has turned over $685.
900 in cash to the treasurer on cur
rent collections. Five thousand
has been remitted to the state treas
urer, and enough more. to make up
half the state tax will be remitted
the first of next week. The state
tax for this year is S2o,7o5. It is
a large sum for county containing
population of less than 1000. 1t
is nearly as great as during one of
the years of the Lewis and Clark
fair appropriation. In view Of the
generous appropriations by the last
legislature 1t is likely to be as
much or more next year, even in
spite of the fact that Governor
Chamberlain vetoed bills carrying
appropriations of nearly a million
dollars. If the legislature had pass
ed the tax commission bill and the
bill bringing the timber held by
syndicates Under taxation, these
state taxes would have been largely
reduced, but for some reason these
and other bills providing revenue
from other sources than by taxing
farm and other visible property
were turned down.
Treasurer Buchanan will remi

CORVALLIS, OREGON,
FRIDAY EVENING, APR. S, 1907
MayorLan

The attitude of a bevy of demo-
cratic politicians in Portland toward
the candidacy Of Mayor Lane is
usual but none the less astounding.
The mayor is a candidate for re-
election, and be declares that II
nominated and elected be will put
the "public interest above party,
personal or any other interest. His
attitude is one to appeal to most
people as highly desirable. The
public interest ought to be para
mount to every other consideration.
The reason for it is wildly illus
trated by conditions in San Fran
cisco. Mayor Schmitz sacrificed
the "public interest" to private
and partisan interests, and behold
the results. The shame Of the
Golden Gate city would seem to
Q1SSIGQll lOlCFCi any PAoeAOA hA ~ q
candidate other than paramountloy
atty to public interest" and that
is what makes the attitude of Port
land politicians conspicuously in
apropos. Whether they know it
OF not, it is a good way for them
to aid the candidacy of Mayor Lane.
The times are calling for good
men for Office. Public robbery as
disclosed in many big cities has its
meaning, and that meaning ought
to be distinctly hostile to spoilsmen,
place-hunters and bribing corpor-
ations. The charge against Mayor
Lane is that he is opposed to such
things, and that as an official he
has not tolerated them. The op-
position to him under the circum.
stances many people will consider
as best reason for his reelection.
incidentally, the official who serv-
es the public best, serves his party
best.

STEALING FLOWERS.
Other Homes We're Visited and the
Contents Of Flower Beds Taken.

Later developments indicate that
the case of flower theft told of in
Tuesdays TIMES was not confn-
ed to single instance. 1t will be
remembered that three young girls
of 13 or ID years entered Mrs. Bur-
nett's dooryard and carried off near
ly all the blooming hyacinths in the
beds. The same depreciation was
practiced at the home of E. w.
Pratt, where a beautiful bed of
blooming flowers was left in pract-
ical ruin. Flowers were taken in
the same way from the beds of
Mrs. ]. B. Irvine on Ninth street.
At the Burnett place the girls ap.
peared at 1890, and when Mrs. Bur-
nett came on the scene they fed in
great haste. They went to Mrs.
Irvine's at eight O clock, but wheth-
er they were the same parties or
not is not known. At the latter
place only two girls were seen, but
it was dark and another might
have been in the party without be-
ing discovered.
The beautifying of dooryards is
laudable enterprise 1t is the
slogan of every city and town.
More attention is paid to that feat
tire of town life now than ever be-
fore. 1t is recognized as something
that has been over-neglected. The
attractiveness of it impresses all,
including the investigating home.
seeker. 1t increases the value of
property, and is financially a good
investment, to say nothing of the
pleasurable and elevating benefits.
It will pay everybody well to have
an eye for the protection of those
who make these improvements and
for encouragement of them. and the
first essential is to teach children
and grown-up folks too, to let other
peoples flowers alone. If they
want flowers they should be manly
and womanly enough to ask for
them. Or, what is better, grow
them at home. In the growing,
love of the beautiful is engendered.
and that is gentle and highly
beneficial influence on character.

SOME EARLY HISTORY.
A Shooting Scrape Oldtimers viii
Remember-Two Wounded but
no Dead. 81

The old builclng now on its way
north through Main street was
long a landmark in the business
quarter. The oldtimer who watch
es its progress to a let in the north
end of town, where it is to be
dwelling, naturally recalls scenes
that it has sheltered in the past.
1t was within its walls that Nick
Beason was shot. The building
was saloon then. It was in fact
most always saloon. at least, in
the earlier times. 1t was a place
where faro, poker, and other games
of chance flourished. Once a man
named Stowell operated it, and
then another named Davidson. In
fact long line of successors in
the business mixed drinks and
handed out benzine to the thirsty.
What shooting scrapes it was
the scene of away back in war
times there is no one left to tell
about. 1t had its quota in every
line of the industry. Corvallis was
a very gay town once. It was
the outfitting depot for packers
and miners for some years. 1t was
a great rendezvous for horsemen
and other sports. Gold dust figur-
ed much as it figured in the Cali
fornia towns in '4e.a EGold balances
with which it was weighed out in
the transactions are still found in
the archives of families whose
heads figured in the business of
those days.
Baeson was shot by Joseph Nc
Timmons. Baeson was at one time
a leading butcher. He was once
chief engineer of the fire depart
ment. McTimmons was bar.
tender when the trouble happened.
John Mensinger and Sid Moore al
so figured in the trouble. Moore
was big gambler and Mensinger
a blacksmith. Moore and Baeson
first got into an alteration and
Mensinger took the scrap off of
Baeson. on account of Baeson's
diminutive size. The quick, sharp
reports of a revolver one Sunday
afternoon, called bystanders to the
place. They found Moore on his
back in front of the bar and Men
singer on top of him. Baeson was
lying as if dead in one corner and
McTimmons held a smoking pistol.
There was pistol wound in Bae-
SON abdomen near the navel and
another in Mensinger's jaw. They
took lot of wadding out of the
wounded jaw and he spit the rest
IF it out. The firing had been at
such close range that all the wad-
ding went into the wound. They
always told it, that in relating the
scrap a few minutes afterward,
Mensinger would stop occasionally
to spit out some of the wadding.
Baeson's wound was not serious.
The ball passed around instead of
through his body, and within few
weeks be was entirely recovered.
McTimmons served a year for his
part in the trouble.

SCARCITY OF TEACHERS.
Letter From Former Corvallisite-
Salaries and Scarcity in California.

There is dearth of school teach
ers all over the Pacific Coast. They
say so in Oregon, they wall in Cal
ifornia, and in Idaho they say any
body can get school if he wants
to teach. Never has the scarcity
been noted before.
This condition arises from the
higher requirements that the peo-
pie are making at the hands of
trustees and teachers, and the great
demand that business houses are
making for stenographers, type
writer's and bookkeepers. Any
young lady will not hesitate to take
a respectable position in comfort
able Office where the salary is quite
the same as the school room offers
and the position steady.
In this connection, Mrs. Brown,
OF 'e5 OAC, formerly known here
as Miss Lulu Thornton, writes: 81
know of no school in this part of
the state, which pays less than SEQ
per month and some as high as one
hundred dollars, with ten months
as the school year. Two schools
in this county were unable to Sc
cure teachers last fall and could not
start. I am told the same condi
tions exists all over the state.
Teachers are SO scarce here that
very poor ones are allowed to con-
tinue teaching, because the trustees
cannot otherwise fill their places -

Campaign Contributions.

Mr.. Hartman says he contribut-
ed $50, 900 to the Roosevelt cam
paign fund in 1904. He says furth-
er that the sum was a pa1t of $780,
900 that he raised for the same pur-
pose and that the president knew
of the fact at the time. Mr.. Roose-
welt says Mr.. Hartman is a liar.
When the campaign was at its
height, Judge Alton B. Parker
made practically the same charge.
He said the corporations were con-
tributing to Mr.. Roosevelt's cam
paign fund. Mr.. Roosevelt. all
will remember, promptly declared
the statement lie, and Judge Park
er liar. Mr.. Roosevelt's pyro-
technic denial was one of the SEN
sations Of the campaign.
President Rooseve1t's denials to
the contrary notwithstanding. i'm
mense sums were contributed by
the corporations to his campaign
fund. 1t was proven in the official
investigation that frenzied insur-
ance companies contributed to Mr..
Roosevelt's campaign treasury the
sum of $178. 8.12o. High officials of
the companies admitted it, and the
books showed it. 1t was funds
that belonged to the policy holders
of the company. Mr.. Roosevelt's
campaign managers knew it was
the policy holders money. Perkins,
one of the insurance officials who
made the contributions, recently
gave back to the company from
whom he had been ousted for crook
edness. $50, that he had as an
official, contributed.
The whole incident has Its moral.
Doodle from the corporations flowed
into the treasury of Mr.. Roose
velt's campaign managers. and was
used to corrupt voters. Judge
Parker was right in his charge, and
Roosevelt, wrong in his denial.
If the presidents denial was from
ignorance of the facts, it ought not
to have been made, and if it was
made with full knowledge of the
facts, it is inexcusable. In either
event, the effect is to force the sur
mise that the Hartman charge, in
spite of Mr.. Roosevelt's denial. is
probably true.
