THE DAILY GAZETTE-TIMES theater in Chicago, and the very recent caastrophe in the Illinois coal mine are cases in point. Such negligence is due to various causes. In some cases it is ' due to the lack of proper safeguards because men in their lust for wealth will not stand the cost. In other cases it is due to. callous disregard for the sanctity of, life. In the Cherry mine dis aster it was probably owing to that disregard for rules which familiarity with danger often breeds. But whatever the cause the outcome is widespread sorrow and misery, and the de Published every evening except Sun day. Office: 232 Second street, Cor vallis, Oregon.

A good authority has recently said that working wqmen .are 'more virtuous than those who live in a so-called higher sphere. There is no doubt of it, for work promotes virtue and many other qualities while idleness . gets people into all kinds of mischief. John D. Rockefeller excuses himself from commenting on the recent decision of the . United States Circuit Court dissolving the Standard Oil Trust, on the ground that he is "no . longer actively connected with the management- of the Oil Com pany." He seems, however, to be very actively connected with the enormous quarterly dividends which the company pays with undeviating regularity. Thousands of lives are snuffed out every year by criminal neg lect or carelessness. It is safe to say that almost every accident of magnitude involving the loss of hundreds of lives is due to those causes. Sometimes the fault lies with owners or builders, sometimes with a careless work man.

It is important that it should, have a significant or attractive name. . But, right at the outset, you discover that It is almost impossible to secure ' any satisfactory .name for a new soap. Its color, transparency and clearness suggest the title, of , "amber soap." Yes, surely, "amber soap" does have an , attractive sound. But you cannot use the word "amber," for you find that this is one of a list of twenty-four pos sible names for a : toilet soap pre empted by .registration as a protec tionary measure years ago by one. of the leading American soap makers.. They have covered oyer a hundred ! names in the past quarter of a century, ' willingly paying tne registration! charges of $25 for every title. Of : course they do not intend to use them, i They "register them to fight off compe- tition,- believing (and here is the im-1 portant point) that no clever business ' man would embark in the enterprise of manufacturing a new soap when from the start he was prevented from employing the powerful weapon o imagination . in giving it a suitable , name. " If an. establishment like this, I nirected by some of the ablest heads in the business - world, : believes that il can discourage competition bj, simply depriving the would be competitor of the appeal to the imagination in the naming of his soap, how great a value, must .we attach to imagination in bust . ness?

The Australian Method of Dealing With "' ' the Pests. 1 - Babbits are' the greatest pest the Australian pastoralist has to contend against. If these rodents are at all numerous on a, station property, they do enormous damage to the grass, but the pest is kept down to the lowest possible limit in every district of the commonwealth at .great cost. The most effective method of deal ing with them is hereunder explained. In sumjmer when any water that might have been lying about has been, dried up by evaporation and the grass has become dry rabbits swarm toward the tanks, dams or other water holes that have, been sunk for stock drink-' lug purposes. Pastoralists -take .advantage of this,' and every evening after the cattle have partaken of their -last- drink, a strip of wire netting is run around 'the tankior dam, ! :.. ' ' v, Outside this: netting fence holes are du? in the ground and filled with poi soned' water, and thse in turn are in closed By--nother strand: "of netting, pegged: down. to' within a', few inches of the ground, being sheep' -proof, but allowing plenty of room for rabbits to get under. - : The rabbits' make for the dam; but, as their way is barred, they drink at the poisoned holes, with to them disas trous results.-. .' In the morning are to be seen hun dreds and thousands of dead rabbits ' scattered . about - the country. Mel bourne News. , MORE NOTABLE FEATURES and SONO HITS THAN IN ALL OTHER SIMILAR ATTRACt'.

Wright who was the first gravedigger, prepared himself to take the house by storm by having incased his person within a dozen or more waistcoats of all sorts of shapes and patterns. When about to commence the operation of digging the grave for the fan Ophelia Wright began to un wind by taking off waistcoat after waistcoat, ' which caused uproarious laughter among the audience. But as fast as he relieved himself of one waistcoat Paul Bedford, the second gravedigger, ';. incased himself in the castoff vests, which increased the sal vos of laughter, for; as Wright was getting thinner Paul grew fatter and fatter. Wright, seeing himself out done, kept ,on the remainder of the waistcoats and went on with his part quite crestfallen. , - ,. , FRESH 'SWEET CIDER NEW DILL PICKLES SAUERKRAUT and RIPE OLIVES MODES GROCERY .
