Dont lose your vote because of a little carelessness. It may be valuable in June. Visitors are astonished at the evenness of the temperature in this valley. For the last week the ther uiometer has stood at 50 deg. and 51 dee., excepting very early in the morning. Cold weather is a rare quantity in the Willamette valley. What is going to be done about the Fire Department ? This matter is too important to be negleoted much longer. If you have any suggestions to make regarding it, remember that Robert Johnson is collecting data, with a view to put ting the department on a better footing than formerly. Help him out if you have any practical ideas. Efforts are being made to bring out a full attendance at the special meeting of the Corvailis Grange, tomorrow, Saturday,, afternoon.

In Brazil, where coffee drink mg is indulged in to excess, drunkeness is rare. Foreign to pers, who stay there any length of time soon lose all desire for intoxicants, but they become heavy coffee drinkers. In tropi cal couutries coffee is drank with out milk or cream, but generally with susar. This is the correct way if people wish to retain their health. Coffee is seldom injuri- ous it dranK in . tnis manner. And it is a fact worthy of note in tnis country as wen as in Brazil, that coffee drinkers sel dom become drunkards. We commend this fact to . our tem perance agitators. Speaking of the prevalence of coffee dunking, the bulk ot the world's coffee product is drank in he United States. Over 900,- mm .4 000,000 lbs. is imported every year. This comes mostly from Brazil and Central America. The best comes in small quantity, comparatively, from Java. There is not a coffee dealer or grocer in the country but claims to sell Mocha and Java blended. It is doubtful if a hundred pounds of Mocha coftee comes v into the State of Oregon in a year. How much of that do you expect you are going to getr uut a mue over one million pounds of coffee every year comes to this country rom Aden, the shipping port of Arabian coffee, and it is conceded by coffee dealers that a large part of the product sent from that port has been shipped there from other places, to be "Aden-ized," or made to Dear tne necessary custom house marks. It would be within the bounds of truth to . m . . . 4 say tnat less man rso tons 01 pure Mocha coffee is all that: America receives every year. Ninety-nine and one-half pounds out of every hundred sold in this state is Central America and Bra zilian coffee, and costs seven cents per pound. Two-thirds of that amount is sold over the counter at 35 cents per pound, j Who gets the profit? The only difference in grade or quality comes from the soil where raised, and the conditions there existing. Plant Java, Mocha, Kona, or Tonila coffee in Costa Rica and the product will be same in qual ity and flavor as the product now raised in Costa Rica. Mocha coflee cannot be raised out ot Arabia, or Java out of Java. But all the same we will go oh as before, drink our seven-cent mixture of Salvador and Rio, call it Mocha and Java, pay forty cents for it and enjoy it At any rate the grocers are happy. Arrested for Embezzlement, vv Harry Nicklin was arrested at John Smith's i place, on Soap Creek, about 15 miles from Cor vailis last Wednesday by Sheriff Burnett and Deputy Schreider. o; Portland. Nicklin was brought : to town and placed in the county jail. He is wanted in Portland for getting away with about $100 of his employer, a Portland butch er for whom Nicklin was col lector. This happened nearly a year aeo and since then Nicklin has spent most of his time in this part of the county. He worked for Johnson Porter and also' for the Witham brothers, working for the latter during harvest. Corvailis "Makes Good." mat a., a. wuson, tne new manager of the Corvailis Opera House understands his business and knows how to advertise a show to its best ' advantage, was evident by the large crowd that greeted "Are You a Mason?" on Wednesday night. Considerable interest was centered in Wednes- "1 day night's attraction as it was a test to see if Corvailis people would appreciate a first-class per formance. "Are You a Mason" is a side' splitting comedv 4 from start to finish and Mr. Wilson used excellent judgment when he signed lor this kind of a play for his opening night. The audi ence was kept in the best of humor during the entire evening. The first night "made good" in everv respect, and tne play going public fully appreci ate the efforts of Mr, Wilson in having only first-class attrac tions on the. boards. On next Tuesday night the bill will be "Sandy Bottom", a beautiful Southern play, full of pathetic and humorous situations.- , Men and Boys' wear. $ 50 garments. ; . . 75 .

Small, one of the pro prietors of Small & Son's con fectionery store, was tried in udge Holgate's court yesterday morning tor allowing gambling in his store. Several witnesses were called and swore they were playing in the above store on Saturday night and Sunday morning. Jan uary 2 and. 3, 1904. They all admitted playing "stud poker" "or money and using both checks and coin with which to bet. The game was run on percentage, Chas. Small being the dealer. The case proved one of gatrrblingv pure and simple, no evidence be ing introduced to the contrary. It had been noised about that gambling was being carried on on in the back rooms of Small's confectionery so the authorities prepared an investigating com mittee to call upon the store and see lor tnemselves. inis was done last Saturday night as stated in our last issue, and the parties bund there that night, upon be- . m -a ..-. mg questioned, admitted tnat they had gambled in Small's place. These were used as wit nesses against the defendant who, did not deny the charge. After hearing the case, Judge Colgate placed Chas. Small under $250 bonds to appear be fore the next circuit court, which convenes in April. Made Excellent Showing. F. L Miller returned Wednes day from Seattle where he attend ed the big poultry show- He took with him ten of his Buff Or pington chickens and fourteen Buff Leghorns belonging to Gene Simpson. Mr. Miller was very successful in prize-winning, be ing awarded two first, two second and a number of smaller prizes. He also carried off the first hon ors tor navmg tne best pen 01 Buff Orpingtons at the show. About 75 birds were in the dis play, and were from British Col umbia, California, Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho. The prize winners at the last poultry show in 'Frisco, last year's show at Tacoma and this year's show in Victoria were all competing for first honors, but Mr. Miller suc ceeded in carrying off the prize from all the other fine Buff Or pingtons. This was the largest display of that breed of bird ever held on the coast. He was offer ed $100 for a pair of his birds, but as they cost him $40 each he refused the ofler. Mr. Simpson sent 14 Buff Leg horns and received 14 prizes. Both he and Mr. Miller received a number of silver and bronze medals for their excellent show ing.

Mc Minnville Telephone-Register. j Jt A prominent Corvailis business man, who has been recently on his travels, at first innocently enough registered from his home town. So many signs of inter est occurred in connection with Holy Roller matters that after awhile the citizen of the beauti ful town with the Latin name forebore to admit even that he was from Oregon. A trifling foolish matter takes the wings of the thistle down and flies to all quarters Albany Herald. - While the administering of a coat of tar aud feathers to the Corvailis 'Holy Rollers" seemed a very harsh treatment, it would be difficult to conceive a more ap propriate punishment for the per sistent indulgence of their idiotic and disgusting antics in the name of religion. There ;is a limit to what a community can endure of this sort of thing, and as the Statesman said some weeks ago while discussing the extravagant fanaticism of the unbalanced "apostles,', the public should take them in charge and perma nently suppress their exhibitions. There are a thousand men and women in the Asylum here today who have never at any time shown the same symptoms of ir recoverable idiocy as the spectac ular "Holy Rollers." Their in sane doings have been a travesty on religion and a burlesque on common sense. Salem States man '- . ' . Dr. Withycornts On Fruit. Dr. Withycombe was one of the speakers at the ' meeting in Portland of the Northwestern Fruit Growers Association, on Tuesday last, and, as usual, gave some good, sound, practical ad vice. His subject was "Co-operation Between the Horticulturist and the Experiment Station." He advises the adoption of more intelligent methods of horticul ture. 'At one time, ' said Dr. Withy combe, "I could not look at a poor cow or a poor sheep without pitying its owner now I feel the same way towards a poor tree. Fruitgrowing has not developed, says tie Telegram for the cattle owner has protection from the diseased cow, but th orchardist has no protection from the dis eased tree, " because the State Board of Horticulture has not sufficient power." Dr. Withycombe urged the adoption of better horticultural laws. He urged a campaign for this purpose by a triumvirate composed of the . railroads, the press and the agricultural colleges a campain of education for the purpose of upholding the trinity of the grubbing hoe, the pruning shears and the spray pot. The Gambling Ordinance. Oregon Fire Relief Association. D. C. Rose, a trustee, and C Thrasher, agent, of the Oregon Fire Relief Association, went to McMinnville to attend the an nual meeting of that Association on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Chas. Grissen was re elected president and Martin Rhodes elected secretary. The other officers were re-elected. The company made a splendid showing for the last year ex penses being less than any pre vious year, and net increase in membership greater. The net gain in insurance for the year is 2,646,637 for 1903, making the gross amount ot in surance in force $15,692,707. The average insurance on each risk is $533.62. Parties who have insurance in this Asso ciation will be pleased to note the general prosperity of the business. Tommy Nolan went to Portland Wednesday for a few days.
