MANY SUBPOENAS ARE OUT Albany People in Favor of Prohibition and Refuse to Stand the Action of "Blind Piggers" Who Sell on the Sly---Democrat Moralizes a Little. IS. ROWLAND Mrs. John Rowland,' of Jthis city, died last night at the North Pacific Sanita rium, f ortiana, 01 cancer at tne stomach. Mrs. Rowland underwent an opera- tiou at the sanitarium last week, and while it was at first thought that she would be much improved as the result, she failed to- rally and the end came last night. - The remains will be brought here to the family home, corner Fifth and Washington streets, tomorrow, when arrangements will be made for tne funeral. . .! The news will, be deeply regretted by friends and relatives of the deceased; who were hopeful of her recovers. Albany is after the blind piggers in earnest. Yesterday' J. B. Andrews pleaded guilty to selling whiskey to Fred M. Robin, and he was assessed $150 and costs. r Two more cases came up today and it is rumored that papers are out for other violators. The Democrat says editorially of the booze handlers: "Blind piggers are finding they can not run loose in Albany, that there i s bound to be spme objection and they may depend upon a continual fight if they propose to make a business of the violation of a law passed by the people who rule. "The proper way to settle the mat ter would be to have a very strict law against the shipment of liquor into a dry county, and this the legislature "would ' undoubtedly provide for" if it really meant business, . . but it has not reached that early stage, just, now wabbling somewhat; "but eventually it "will get to its 1 senses and do some thing of an emphatic character. "But really why should men wish to maxe a living illegally when there is plenty of honorable employment along respeciaDie lines, it is not an easy problem to answer."

J What Each of These Men is Doing to Make Corvallis a City Beautiful Each a Booster in a Different Way; and Nolan a Booster in All Ways. SUICIDE HI SODA The body of Andrew Hale was found hanging by the neck' at his home in the suburbs of Sodaville this morning. It was done like this. : He had placed a ladder against, a tree near his house, climbed up, tied a rope to a limb and awurig off into eternity. He was found by neighbors this morning at an early hour, says the Albany Democrat. Mr. Hale, a very peculiar man, had lived alone for many years in a very oddly constructed house of fifteen or twenty rooms, which he had mostly built himself. - It was three stories, with many oddly constructed nooks' and places," filled with curiosties. Several mechanical musical instruments afford ed him amusement. He rarely- left home more than to go down town, rare ly coming to Albany. He is reported to have been quite well off, besides his home property, a good one, haying property in Portland and money at in terest. He was a pioneer, coming here before 1850, a native of Kentucky: - He leaves a wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Hale, of Albany, with whom he had not lived for about twenty-five years, and three daughters, Mrs. Jacob Strei- tel, Mrs. Dyer, now with her - and Mrs. F. - W. - Watson, who recently1 moved to Electron, Wash.

GUI 10LAN AND CAPT, CRAWFORD him to place on a check. And he is never small when it comes to naming the amount. , Some people say "Oh well, Nolan can afford it he has lots of money and a big business," but these very people forget that, much of Nolan's business and money has been secured through this gener osity and freehandedness in a public way. Nolan's broad and liberal spirit has met with a response, He has preferred to make by giving rather than by saving, on the assumption that bread thrown on the water will return again. ' His loaves have come back in sufficient quanity and with enough fish to feed 5000, and more. And he is en titled to the increase. But while talking like a booster and giving money like a real booster, Mr, Nolan is living like a real booster and setting a good example to his fellow men. While J.

In both instances the hedge is cut low, has an artistic touch about the gate, and is kept ine lawn is well kept at both places,, and for a lawn with as much : shub bery and trees as Nolan's pos sesses, the effect is surprisingly good.

Nevertheless the defect is noticeable and - is - - - - V - " - " " ' " one that any person can avoid at the time of "making a lawn, and these points are mentioned in the hope of inspiring people to think of this at the right time. There "is not a prettier lawn or neater and more accept able looking property than Capt Crawford's, the roses at the side and in front of the garden patch, lending sufficient "color to the scene to make it - truly a charming one. There .. is no fence in front of , the property and no one could pass there without, having a rpleasanter thought and a better opinion of Corvallis, for it speaks of. order, cleanliness, priae, loving care i and a sense of proportion, i To keep this property in its present shape probably , requires consid erable of Capt. Crawford's spare time, and it is hardly probable that all the effort is purely :. that Corvallis people and visitors' to the city may have something pleasing to look at . At least half the effort is selfish but still the Captain is a booster, and is to" be congratulated on the success of his boosting. -v ; lives there, and while there is nothing remarkable about ' it Mr. Nolan's . property looks "good" to every passerby and is ever a boost for Corvallis. It takes an awfully good to man be ah all round booster. There is something good about the man or woman who loves Continued on page two G. E. Gandy, Pacific Homestead field representative, was through this section recently, and in his paper has the following to say of of "well-known Benton county people: "On calling on A. C. Tunnison, Corvallis, Oregon, Route 4, I ar rived at his house just when he had lost a valuable cow. I look ed at the animal and found the same conditions existing that ex isted m the east m cases of "dry murrain." He also had been feeding green corn as was also done in the east We considered there was a strong acidulous sub stance in the corn that caused the condition of the cow. Two other similar cases were brought to my notice. Dr. James Withycombe, of the 0. A, C, had attended some of Mr. Tanison's cattle with success for the same condi tion, and I understand that he called it a compaction and infla- mation of the third stomach. I place this article before our read ers as a question and warning to investigate before any of them also lose some valuable cattle. "From there I visited Roy Rickard. who is a breeder of , Shorthorn cattle, goats and sheep. He has 3020 acres of land. 2000 of which are for grazing, the rest in cultivation. : He has six" hun- -dred head of sheep and 410 of Angora goats. He has a large beautiful residence and the whole place shows splendid American energy arid careful management. "I visited G. G. Horning, and in talking to him on poultry, found he had placed his grain and chicken feed in separate bins and has kept account of his chick en feed . and expenses, also his egg sales and home consumption,' and he stated that he averaged over $200 per year gain from his chickens besides the chickens used on the. family table. He only has a small flock. (How many? Editor.) "This shows that there is money in chickens. "I met A. M. Smith,' of Cor vallis, Route 4, and he had just bought three fine Jersey heifers and is going into the dairy busi ness. . 1 T MAGHI The Burlingame "telegraph type writer," on exhibition at Macy's con fectionery, excites considerable inter est, and the demonstrators have had opportunity to show the merit of the. machine to more than a few. The. demonistration consists of ma nipulating a typewriter outside of the room and giving the watchers a dupli cate message from a machine inside, the work of which he may observe. The Burlingame attachment may be applied - to any typewriter and when manipulated by any person will oper ate a receiving typewriter ten feet or 1000 miles ; away-at least this is - what : is claimed for it. .
