VOL. I. NO. 147 HOUSEKEEPER'S" NEW GROUCH 1ADY WRITER OF FORMER. ART! ICLES ON DECK .AGAIN HITS SOME NIGH SPOTS HARD Talks About Big Head Beef, Touches Up Vegetable People Again, and Now Wants a Dressmaker Wom an Knows How to Write. . ' 'J udging from occasional ref erences to a former article in the iazette-Tim,es and also from hearing the matter discussed by merchant and j customer unbe- -inown that ; Housekeeper was '- standing; close? by an . interested listener, it behooves the latter to take up the pen once more in re .gard to better conditions and more conveniences for the house wife in Corvallis, the City . Beau- ' 'All the criticism jsQ. far seems to agree that .the vegetable situ ation is not what it should be by 'any means, and now it will be i more evident than 'ever - with fear abroad in the land, that cu ' i I ineri homers are eating "big head' or fepli.herewho aven ' 1 V tomers are eating "big head lumpy jawed cattle. One Perfect Plac:-- , "Housekeeper feels reasonably assured there is one market that doesn't deserve the imputation, as she has been quietly doing some market inspection of late and finds there is one which is quite superior to the balance in neatness, cleanliness, lack of odor, and the courtesy and alac rity with which customers are served. In this market theyj win take down a quarter of beef and cut you a small steak as readily as to pick one from the 'counter. Their motto (and it doesn't ' adorn their walls) . evi dently is "A pleased customer always a customer. " Shall I tell which market this is? More About Vegetables. ' 'Housekeeper feels grateful to the man from Hood River, who -is struggling with such adverse conditions in growing vegetables on his place, for his explanation of existing conditions, but as Mr. Bane and a few others seem : to know how, it is up to them to explain the means of ; getting - sufficient moisture to grow crops in the long dry season habitual to this section. Housekeeper yrao gMU uj eaiior pronted by the discussion to the extent of "being loaded with garden sass" by Mr. Bane, but the point under discussion most particularly was, why the same kind of vegetables uldn't be marketed to the homes before the bloom was off, in fact just as the editor receiv ed them, Housekeeper knows - Mr. Bane to be a very pleasant, . accommodating, gentleman, but ( he doubts: his Jdacrity irideliv : ering a head of cabbage, or two ;r three cucumbers, notwith- .scanaing the implied willingness to delivering phone orders; and ..if one has to buy by quantity, they may as well patronize the stores, as the vegetables would -,be stale anyway by the time ; they were used. ' " - x -- Has a New Grouch. : "FVjftusekeeper comes out ftmr-tirne-with a-new grouch,' and her' wail has changed from vege tables to the lack of ; dressmak ers! Where, 'oh where are they? As conspicious by their absence as the Chinaman gardeners, if .t.V) PV will nnrrlnn trio nmnaiMtsvn They are certainly hiding their light under a bushel by neither advertising nor putting up a sign. Three times lately House keeper has been appealed t6 for information on the subject but the answer has invariably been- Search me" have been here nearly a year now and have never seen or heard of one, ex cept the one that got awav re cently from the pheasant farm' and wouldn't" have known that if she hadn't seen it in the Ga zette-Times. - ' "Housekeeper will soon be re duced to the necessity of wear ing her cravenette to church and functions as well as beimr un able to direct her friends in the matter. Now, the milliners . are true blue, being fine advertisers, and are doing all in their cower to cover the heads with dainty chapeaus (and the brains with rats) as their windows will at test and with the new beauty parlors now in vogue; one can be groomed to a finish, but what good all this if one hasn't anv clothes to wear? Makes Suggestions. 'Probably the answer to this dressmaker conundrum would be the same as the woman made in regard to the' scarcity of vege tables. "Oh everybody has their own," but there are t many CORVALLIS, BENTON COUNTY. OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1909 CONVICTS TREATED I VERY INHUMANELY , . '.-?.

Housekeeper's advice would be for one of these "fleet ing myths" to come out of her retirement, open a shop on a business street and I patronize the editor occasionally.

A reputable citizen of Inde pendence is credited with' saying in this city yesterday that the treatment accorded' the escaped convicts after they were captured was inhuman. It is asserted that one of the guards from the penitentiary deliberately kicked in the mouth the prisoner dis abled by a bullet' thrnno-n tno - VQM bowels. The fellow was abso lutely helpless and doing nothing Murray and ' Nichavitch gave them humane treatment. Floyd Williams, who shot Nichavitch, and the men with him, bound up the convict's wbunds as best they could and hurried him to ' a sur geon at Independence, where as ne was being worked on, he was greeted in the inhuman way re corded. It is claimed that the Independence peon-le wsrs in. censed at the action of th Sniom officials durinsr the ehnso nA v wva, MiUU were so displeased with the Ore, gonian correspondent - that they either gave him . a-., thrashing or threatened to do so.
