ALBANY'S PART OF BENTON.
Promises to be an Expensive Addition
to That City's Holding.

Because tie city of Albany an
nexed the territory adjacent to the
Benton county end of the Albany
steel bridge, in order to secure po-
lice control over it, it has now to
pay for extensive repairs for food
damage. In years gone by it was
the custom of Albany toughs to
hold all fights and brawls on the
Benton county side of the river, so
the participants would be immune
from Linn county authority. Many
were the fights held over there,
and it is said. that not few orgies
were celebrated on the Benton
banks of the Willamette by Al
bany people in the days when the
town was wet.
To put an end to this condition,
the Albany city council few years
! ago annexed a considerable portion
of Benton county land about the
north end of the steel bridge. Upon
the land the city of Albany has
regularly collected city taxes, not a
great amount it is true, but suffi-
cient to make it plain that the ter
ritory is under Albany's authority,
Albany procures its gravel sup
ply from the annexed territory and
the removal of so much. material
from the river bank there has gone
far toward rendering an overflow
possible. The first high water of
this winter considerably damaged
the roads in the annexed territory
and Albany requested the Benton
county court to make needed re-
pairs. This the Benton court re-
fused to do on the ground that it
had no authority for going into the
corporate limits OF Albany to make
road Improvements. In order that
the Benton county farmers who
trade at Albany might be accom-
modated, however, it is said that
the Albany Business Mems League
made such repairs as were neces-
ry to. .ren6er traffic possible. The
second flood further damaged the
roads in the annexed district, and
it is presumed that Albany will
eventually repair it. On the other
hand, the Albany Democrat has
this to say on the subject:
''As a matter of fact the Benton
county court agreed to keep the
county road at the north end of the
bridge if the Linn county court
would attend to the approach.
While strictly in the city limits no
streets have ever been laid out and
except for police authority it is as
much country district as ever"

Corvallis Times
CORVALLIS, OREGON,
FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. Is, 1907
AFew Words.


Lest we forget, it might not be
sout of taste here. to utter few
words of reminder to the people oi
Corvallis. The town is the set.
ting of the largest educational
institution in the state Of Oregon.
A list of more than 500 students is
on the rolls. The fact carries with
it an immense responsibility. Il
means in effect, that the people o!
Oregon are entrusting these young
students to the care of the citizens
and the authorities who prescribe
the rules and laws relative to peace
and orderly conduct.
If is known fact that scores ol
these students are sent to Corvallis
to college because the town is re-
puted to be without saloons. The
fear of most parents in sending
sons away to college is that habits
of drinking aud rowdyism may be
contracted. The information has
gone abroad that danger from that
source is at a minimum here and
that young men are safer here than
elsewhere. The state of Oregon so
understands the situation and in a
material way is lending encourage
ment to the upbuilding of the col
lege. The people of the state are
so informed, and by their willing
ness for the sinews of war to be
provided from taxation to further
development of the college, give
token of their faith in Corvallis
citizens and Corvallis authorities
It is thus expected of both that
clean conditions only shall prevail.
It is expected that sine the town
processes to be dry, and by that
profession brings students here
that would not otherwise come,
that it should be dry. It means
thai no places should be maintains
ed where the law with respect to
intoxicants is violated. It means
that the laws as they have been
written on the statute books should
be enforced to the strict letter. It
means that no man nor no sci of
men should be permitted to engage
in any illicit traffic in intoxicants,
and that no place should be per-
mitted where there Is gambling or
games of chance. 1t means that
there should be no relaxation Of
vigilance on the part Of citizens,
for therein lies the danger that
Corvallis might default in the duty
it owes to the state and to the people

MONEY FOR o. A. c.
Votes in Both Houses at Salem on the
Subject Yesterday.

The question of money for OAC
was voted on in both houses at
Salem yesterday. A bill introduced
by Johnson of Bente n, in the SEN
ate proposes an incre ase from $25,-
900 to $50, 900 year of the main
tenance stipend. On a previous
day the sum had been cut to $37,-
900 but yesterday it was reconsid-
ed and put back to $4,000 with
only three or four dissenting votes.
1t must yet pass the house and be
approved by the governor in order
to become law.
In the house, Carter's bill for
shops, barn, and an addition to the
Administration building was voted
on, and was the subject of violent
discussion. 1t appropriates $75.-
900 this year, and the same amount
next year. For this year, $40, coo
is to be available for erection and
equipment of new shops, $40.
for barns, outbuildings and fences.
ana S1 5000 1Or landS. walks, ana
other items. The entire sum next
year is apl lioable to the Admins
tration building. The bill was con-
sidered section by section in COM
mittee of the whole.
1t involved a lively debate in
which the college was defended by
Carter of Benton, Jones of Polk,
and McGue of Clatsop. It was op-
posed by Edwards of Lane. Camp
bell of Clackamas, and Barrett of
Washington in debate, while ten
voted against the bill, "a voting for
it. Those who spoke against the
measure commended the college
and its work in the highest terms,
but insisted that too much money
was being asked for.

Remedy for Dandelious.

To the person who is trying to
maintain a lawn, dandelins are a
source of work and annoyance.
Cutting them, even below the sur
face seems merely to have the eff
feet of making them multiply the
faster. DR.. w. H. Evans. OF the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture, calls attention to the ex-
cellent results which he obtained
by the use of gasoline. A spoon
full of gasoline poured into the
center of the head of each dande-
lion or chickorv will destroy it
root and branch within twenty
four to forty-eight hours. At DR..
Evans suggestion the remedy
was tried on dandelions and with
perfectly satisfactory results. The
gasoline penetratcs throughout the
plant even into the tips of the
roots, causing a Shiny decomposi-
ton. Apparently, gasoline has
some affinity for milk or latex of
these plants and follows the latex
tubes through the whole plant.
Grass and shrubpery are not in
jured by the gasoline unless it is
carelessly applied iu under guam
titles.
