The case of Porter vs Huffman, which has been pending for the past three tears has been decided in favor of the defend ant by Judge Hamilton. The bone of contention was th changing of a ditch which passed through the property of each. It appears Wist John Uufman purchased a (arm io Pleasant valley. Shortly alter this Mac Porter purchased an adjoining farm. Years ago a ditch had been dug through the farms, and after acquiring title to the npper farm, Huffman proceeded to maks alterations in the course of the ditch, Porter took exceptions and law suit followed.

Miss Augusta Strega, which occurred at her home in this city at p. January 15, was not unex For several years the had been a sufferer from cancer et the breast and numerous operations had failed to afford her relief. Mist Stmga had been a resi dent of this city for 16 or 18 years. Her bfother, Carl, was th victim of mysterious and horrible murder which shocked the community some years ago, the perpetrators having never been dis covered. A sister, Anuie, was her only relative residing in this city, although another sister, Mrs.

Minnie Huft, of was present at the funeral She 'has relatives in the East. Mist Straga was 48 years and two months old at the lime of her death. Rev. Mem minger officiated at the funeral services which were held at the M. E.

church, Wednesday, at 2 p. m. in th presence of' many friends of the deceased. In terment was made in Crvstal Lake ceme tery. Cneatlaf the County.

There is a palpable error in the amend ment passed by the last legislature to the law regulating the fen to bt charged for filing proceedings in matters in probate, divorce cases, actions at law aad similar matters, which is depriving every county in thetate of much legitimate and neces sary revenue, whether thit error lie at the door of the printer or to carelessness on the part of others interested is not in evidence, but the error it in the general law, nevertheless. The law originally provided that in proceedings of the. nature mentioned, the plaintiff should pay a filing ft of 15.00, where th amount payed for was less than $o00; and 10, where the amount exceeded $300. The law as amended simply pro vides for a fee of 13 in either event and the'eonnty ia loser $5.00 wbenevef th amount involved exceeds $500. ..1 Senate bill 97, lntioduced by Senator Mulkey, which coutaiae the amendment provided for the 13 and $10 fees, but as printed in the statute provision for the tlO fee ia omitiad.

In the cat ot the defendant, however, the law provides that he shall pay a fee of $2.50 when filing an answer when the sum does not exceed $500, and (5 where the amount is in excess ef $500. Thus where the figures named are over $500, the defendant is eliliged to pay as much for filing as the plaintiff. Another Dlfflctlty. Another incongruity is exposed in the registration law passed by the last legis lature in the following statement in a letter to this paper inquiring what should be done in the, esse cited: "I see no provision in the regittery law for auch a contingency as happeus in family. The last day of registering is 15th, and my son becomes of age the 19th) four days after the closing ot the register.

My son ia a legal voter under the consti tution oT the state, the organic law, not statute law, and does not want to lose his vote." In the case above referred to, the young man is to a distant city where it would be difficult for him to secure witnesses to bit age. An affidavit from his father, however, would be sufficient and easily obtained. Registration blank to which we referred last week, provides that tlx free-holders mutt swear "that we are each personally acquainted with the elector and his residence as stated; that we believe ali hit other statements are true." Little difficulty would be experienced in getting the signatures of six free-hold- era swearing positively as to his residence, and they are only asked to state that they "believe all hit other statements are true." The law is going to work some hardships, but it is believed that serious trouble will be obviated and the final effect of the law will be. for the public goad. Laundry Agency.

William Bur ben, nn electrician, who for the pnst teveral weekt hat been employed in putting in new line for tho Oregon Telephone 4 Telegraph In this city, wit drowned tome time last Monday between Junction City and Monroe. While her Mr. Burbee made tho acquaintance of many of our citizen be turpriscd and shocked at i untimely death, Particulars of the gedy disclose a dangerous condition of pv.tlonsof the highway In th locality where it happened. Mr.

Burbee ha been employed for touie.tiiuo at line repairer by the Oregon Telephone A Telegraph and hit last trip wat made in th lint of bit duty. Th high water throughout that portion ot the valley bad caused om disturbance to the wires and Mr. Burbee wa( sent out on horseback to make necessary repairs. Later, it wa discovered that the repairs bad not been made and it wat surmised that tome accident bad befallen him, so another man was tent out to invettigat. This man found th horse Burbee had been riding, with bridle and laddie and Burbee'i toolt ttmpped to the latter.

The horse being completely 'drenched, disclosed the sad fat of the rider. The manner of hia death can only conjectured from existing circumstance. In crossing Lancaster iloogh across the river south of Harrisburg, oa the road from Junction to Monroe, there la bridge, from which extendi a long grade. The old grade was swept out tome year age and a aw oh ha been constructed upon a different line, but cannot be teen in the sea of water which at present envelop that region, though th further end of the old grade could be wen from the bridge in the distance. It it aup-pesed that Burbee rod off the bridge in a line for that old grade, and, instead of finding th expected solid footing, plunged into fifteen feet of water.

Member! ol tke telephone crew and of the order of A.O.TJ.W., to which deceased belonged, instituted search, which wa prosecuted until 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon when they found th body in the. twirling alert in th vicinity of the awful plunge.

SOlCPROPRItTORS a jtt CnM A7nrt i 4ttr As latarval at toat Thirty Ya tka Loss Toat Is Aala MavtaU4. an interval of thirty years, the placid waters ot the Long Tom have again been troubled by the blunt no-s ol a river steamer. The Gypsy ma.io successful trial trip to Monroe, Tuesday, arriving at that progressive snd enter prising ity about three o'clock in the afternoon amid the roar of anvils, shrieking of whistle aad shouts th popa- lace. Thus has the question of transportation by water to Monroe been satisfactorily settled, and ths action of the govern ment in appropriating funds for the Long Tom improvement been fully viu dicated.

The Gypsy left thlt city Tues day morning for Monroe carrying twenty torn of freight aad ten passengers, She made the trip in something over nine hours, aud experienced little difficulty on any part of the route. The boat officers report tight feet of water on the shsl lowest bar between Monroe and the iasctton with th Willamette. Wednes day the little veasel started on the return trip leaving Monroe at 8:15 a. m. with 75 tons of flour and feed.

She arrived tardy in thit city at 3 p. nj. where tkt transferred sixty ton of her cargo to the Ruth to be taken to Portland, the re maining fifteen tons being consigned to Won Gellatly at BlodKett. There It still about 600 too of freight ready for shipment and it ia thought that fivt or six trips will bring all of thlt oat The Gypsy left np the' river Thursday, and hereafter will make a trip every week during the winter season. Mr.

Carpenter and Hugh Kay were passengers out Wednesday from Monro. Theo Welecher, ol this city, who made the round ssid yesterday "The 15-mile run np the Long Tom wis made in the tame time that th same distant was covered on the Willamette. We encountered a (light obstacle la a portion ol the old bridge which was lying in th stream, but this was towed out of the way and anchored. Everyone was highly pleased with the' success of the trip. But $3090 has been expended by the government in thit improvement tnd the value of every dollar spent it in evidence.

Opt. Galbraith informed hie that with an appropriation of $5000 the river could be placed In shape to admit of any boat on the river going to Monroe." Monday's Council Meetlag. Mayor Crawford hat issued a call to the city council -for a special meeting next Monday evening, for the irpose of fixing the Us levy for the assessment of the year 18SJ, for the city of Corvallis. The matter was neglected at th last regular meeting of the council. The levy will probably be the same -as that of last year.

The charter provides that a tax not to exceed five mjlla max be levied Tor general purposeaahd thit assessment on the $552,800 worth of taxable property in Corvallis will afford a reven ve of $2704, which together with saloon licences of $2500 and fines and other licences of probably $500 will give the city $5764 for running expenses. When the new sewer is completed our indebtedness will be in th neighbor-eoodof $18,000, which shows Corvallif to be in better condition financially than any other City ia the valley Besides this no city hat better ttreeti or pablic buildiogs. A two-mill tax will probably be levied for timet purposes. Much good work has been done oa the streets during the past season and a nice little remains in the treasury. Wer it not tor a little donbt as the exact meaning of th law which provides tliat this city may levy a two-mill tax for street pur poses, it it possible that only a one mill tax would be voted.

The law would seem to mean that no other tax but a two-mill tax could be levied; neither greater a or less. T. Tht stats tax this year will be 6.3 mill; county tax, 11 mills; city tax 7 mills; for state school purposes, 6 mills; state tctlp bounty .25, for special school purposes, 2.5 mills, making a total of 32.05 mills. Tbe tax last year was 34.1 mills. la Favor ol RickardV Th case of Braudeberry vs.

More Work oat Tbe revetment east of town it to be extended by lb building of tOi addi tional feet to thit end of that bieak-water.

A party consisting of Mayor Crawford, Councilman Taylor and Jus. Smith and citizens M. S. Woodcock, Robt. Huston, P.

Avery W. E. Yates and August Fis cher, visited UngStt and Lieut. Ogden on board tbe Mathloma last week to impress upon them the necessity of extending the revetment and the desire of the city that this be done, Capt. laitgfitt informed the committee that be bad realized the necessity of extending the jetty and had already ordered an extension of 600 feet built.

The visit of the committee, however, evidenced the interest the people of Corvallis are taking io th work and their appreciation of th danger which exists in the river finding a new channel. The work which has been done already by tbe crew of the. snagboat under the supervision of Capt. Galbraith, is said to be of the highest character. Tbe additional work will be completed as the stag of the river will permit.

Wor Tka Defeat. The double atliletio bill between th basketball and baseball team et tht A and Albany College, cam off at scheduled at the aunory laat Friday tveoing. Aside from th brilliant team work of the home girl there wat little in the basketball game to arouse enthusiasm. Albaay was defeated by score oi 47 to 2. So perfect and rapid was th playing of the ladie of th A that th visitors were bewildered, and gsxed open mouthed at the skill of their opponents.

The baseball team from the village down the creek, made a slightly better showing, the carelessness ef the home team of th latter part of th game, permitting them to mak three unearned rant. The-Albaoy Herald thai explains their The excursion last night to Corvallis wat a success, over 100 going over. The young ladiet basket ball team of Albany College played tbe team in th armory at that place, the Corvalfia girl in a beautiful and well -played game winning by a aoore of 47 to 2. The de feat was canted in part by the floor being In a very slippery condition aud th hall was considerably larger than the one the Albany girla have practiced in. Tbe ball used was also smaller than th one nsed in former These together with the long tnd hard practice of the A (irli explain away the apparent heavy defeat.
