MORGAN AND WALL STREET
ARE AGAINST Roosevelt n

welt. This man, according to the
present plans, is Hughes.
There is good reason to suspect
that Hughes is being used merely
as stalking horse, and that the
plan behind the Hughes indorse-
| ment is to name some man like
Knox. The name of Cortelyou is
also mentioned now as a reaction
airy candidate, though it seems
strange that any member of Roose-
velt's cabinet should be SO claSsed.
Such, however, is the fact, and
the part played by Cortelyou in
the recent credit panic is all capital
in a campaign of conservative ap-
peal
With the revival OF the reaction
airy movement under the stimulus
of panic and the rally to Hughes,
the other reactionary candidates
are perking up. The Knox people.
while remaining very quiet, feel
that the advantage of position is
theirs. The Cannon candidacy is
being played merely as a "favorite
son" game, and Illinois will swing
for some other reactionary unless
Taft gets instructions for second
choice. The Fairbanks candidacy
is being worked in Indiana in the
same way.
The part to be played in the con-
vention by George B. Cortelyou Is
a decided puzzle. AS dark
horse candidate there is no ques-
ton that Cortelyou will bear watch
ing. There is nobody among the
candidates who comes so near as
does Cortelyou to being able to
command the support of the radi-
Gals and the conservatives of the
republican party. Himself a herit-
age of the Mckinley administra-
ton. yet signally marked by Roose-
welt with evidences of the latters
confidence, he stands in a neutral
position, ready to unite the dead
| locked factions of his party.
And the declaration of Roosevelt,
made when he first urged Taft to
become a candidate. must be kept
! in mind, namely, that he would be

WILL EMPLOY
PHYSICIANS

The health board last night put
the question of the health condl-
tons of the Garfield school square
" up to the school board, stating
the unless the school board would
employ two physicians at a salary
of $40 a day for two weeks, the
school would be closed, which
would mean shortage in attend
ance and a consequent reduction in
the money the district will re-
ceive from the state.
Members of the board of health
work gratuitously and should not
be required to examine hundred
or more pupils for nothing so that
the school board may be saved
money. The school board has not
yet deigned to reply to the health
board, but it is learned the ar
rangement can be made satisfac-
torily.

1t has been Mrs. Mccormick
custom in the past to dispose of
dresses she did not fancy to second

the idea came TO her to dispose of
them to friends who were not very
well of. charging them very. very
small sum SO that it would not
look like charity.

Their plans have worked even

And so his satellites and all the

all over the country.
Every frightened business man
will become a convert to the anti
Roosevelt party. That is the be-
lief on which the reactionary plans
are based. Make the voter think
that reform is bad for business,
and he will quickly turn against
reform. This is the formula for
the defeat of Taft and Roosevelt.
The reactionaries are rallying
on Hughes. Just how sincere this
movement is, can only be sur

HORSE PRICES BOOMING.
Good Horses Of all Glasses Bring Big
Money-Some Recent Sales.

There is no diminution in the
activity of the horse market. On
the contrary, the prices of all kinds
of horses appear to be steadily on
the rise. A team for which two
months ago the outside price would
he $500 now sells readily at $500.
Good driving horses and saddle
horses, in fact. Indifferent ones
sell readily at from $1oo to $3.50
each, the price of course being de-
pendent on whether the animals are
single CT we'll matched. Eleven
hundred pound driving teams that
are not specially fancy are selling
for $500. The best price which
has been obtained for span Of
draft horses here, so far as known,
is $3.50, although yesterday $575
was offered for a Benton county
draft team. the owner holding for
$500. A 15oo-pound gray mare
belonging to Doc Tom of Alsea,
was sold singly the other day for
$3.50. Lon Gray on Monday sold
to John Henderson of Lane county
1ooo-pound saddle horse for 5000,
and any kind ofa horse that is a
fairly ''good locker" meets with
ready sale. A Portland buyer led
out of town this morning an elegant
span of draft mares, the pair weigh.
ing little more than 5000 pounds.
One he bought of Art Miller of
Kings Valley, and the other was
obtained from Mr.. Peterson, who
resides near Philomath. Judging
from what these parties have been
asking for animals, the Portland
man paid something above $500
for the span.
Local dealers are buying and
selling extensively, and much of
the business is among themselves.
Still, there are good many de.
sirable horses III the county which
may be had when the price offered
is deemed to be1ight. During the
past few years the horse business
has been very productive source
of income.

DOWN TWELVE FEET.
Then Whisked Forty Feet Through
Chute and Hurled Against Bed
Rock.

Will Dunlap. a former OAC
football star, was in town Satur-
day. He is at his home near Shedd
now and came over for medical
treatment. He returned in the
evening with his jaw firmly set in
a tin casing and with props and
other devices galore to hold it in
place. In the fall in which he was
injured three weeks ago, his jaw
bone was broken in three places.
The wonder of all who saw the
frightful plunge he took is that he
survived the experience at all. It
is the opinion of Mr.. Dunlap that
but for his fine physical develop
ment and the football training that
taught him how to protect himself
in tight places that he would have
been instantly killed in the accident
The original fall was IL feet from
a dam into a chute or hume. Just
as he reached the fume his chin
struck projecting scantling and
his jaw was broken. He rolled in
to the Aume through which the
water was flowing at lightning
speed. Through it the old football
guard shot distance of 40 feet,
and from it's mouth was pitched
with great violence and hurled
against the solid bedrock. 1.-The
moment I lost my footing and saw
what was before me- said Mr..
Dunlap, Il unconscious1y put my
self in the old position assumed
when making a charge or doing a
tackle On the football field. When
I struch the scantling I was rigid
in every muscle as we were always
taught to be in action on the field,
and to this I ascribe the fact that
my neck was not broken. I struck
on the end of my chin, but had the
muscles of my neck so taut that in
stead of my neck, the jaw bone
gave away. AS it was. my neck
was swollen to double it's usual
size the next morning. The re.
bound from the scantling threw me
on my back in the f1ume and in
this position went head first the
entire length of 40 feet. Remem.
bering the bedrock at the other end
and realizing that 1 couldn't stand
to alight on the back of my head
as I was pitched out, I managed
just as left the chute to give e
flop and turned over. I don't
hnk n e could often pass through
the same experience and live te
tell the tale"

CORVALLIS, OREGON,
TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 19, 1907
A FEW MORE WORDS.

Eter nal vigilance is the price OF
liberty. 1t is also the price of good
order In Corvallis. A few words
of reminder appeared in this column
Friday, and it will not be out OF
order for a few more to be added.1t is
not without reason that these re-
ferences are made.
The sturdy citizenship of Corval-
lis has but one view relative to
what are and what are not proper
social and political conditions TOR
this town. It is one subject on
which the vast body of the people
are agreed as evidenced whenever
there has been resort to the ballot.
1t is not the purpose here to specl-
fy or to make charges. 1t is the
design of these few words to make
specifications and charges unneces-
sary. It is the desire, if possible,
to avoid the unpleasant alternative
of making specifications and charg-
es. 1t is the belief that they can
be avoided if all those On whom the
town relies for that public senti-
ment that demands good order will
not forget to be interested in con-
ditions. and to insist that there be
neither relaxation of vigilance nor
failure to apply needed remedies.
Corvallis relies in large part on
a clean reputation for her prosper
ity. Scores of students come to
the college because Corvallis is
reputed abroad to be dry town
and directly or indirectly every
resident is benefited thereby. That
is one reason for closed conditions
to prevail, and there are others. 1t
means that if there are blind pigs
they should be choked to death and
that if there are gambling resorts
they should be driven from the
temple.
The TIMES hopes not to be driv-
en- to the unfortunate extremity OF
making specifications and charges.
1t will be far better for that course
to be averted.

A Massachusetts Plan-Ostlerization
for Bachelors Over Forty.

This explanation is made because
there is local organization called

unnecessary explanation because
mention of growing old" and

things, particularly the bachelors.
Besides it would probably be as
difficult to sequ ester local bachel-

women of Wakefield, suggested

They add: "And your petitioners

are of no earthly use except as

SAYS IT IS LIVING HELL.
Old Willamette Man in Canada-Sixty
Degrees Below Zero and Five
Months Snow.

A tale of woe comes to Corvallis
from Canada. The writer is a
resident of one of the widely ad-
vertised possessions to which so
many people of the United States
are trooping. He wants to get
back to Willamette, and this is
what he says about it in a'letter to
local real estate firm:
II havelately received pamphlets
descriptive of Benton county and
list of real estate for sale. There
are many here whose lives are one
perpetual round of suffering. Our
winters are severe, from Sc to 60
degrees below this winter, FIVE
months of snow. frozen limbs are
the rule, no fuel, no water, the
poorest crops I have ever seen.
wheat from 7 to 26 bushels, average
in my district, IS bushels, price,
from IS to 55 per bushel. Our
gardens froze every year, July L,
IS degrees of frost, lumber from
$50 to $50 per 1000 feet. Coal, $s
per ton. I have paid $e.25 per
100 pounds of sugar, $e.75 per
100 pounds of -four, coal oil is new
er less than 40 cents a gallon, on
ions as high as S. per bushel, etc.
Absolutely no labor in the winter,
wages So to $40 per month on
farms, or 81 per day in hay and
and harvest, and fed on rolled oats
two out of three meals. Not a
vestige of fruit and never will be,
not a school after four years resid-
ence, no roads, only trails which
are almost impossible owing to
snow. the windiest spot on earth,
in fact, perfect realization of
hell. I lived nine years in the
Willamette valley, and if I live I
am coming back. l have another
year here yet before I can sell. My
wife and children loathe the place
and wish to return. There are
many here who are going to leave
as soon as they can get their pat
ent and they are very good class
of citizens, and I believe they would
be welcome in Oregon.
