Corvallis Times. Official Paper of Benton County. OKTAIXJ8, OKEGON, JULY 1, 1803. JPIRRY HEATH AND HIS FRIENDS This thing of nagging faithful postal officials is being run into the jjround says the New Yojrk World. For instance, they are criticising Terry Heath for allowing his friend taith to collect $22.50 for carfare when he was stationed at a camp where there were no cars. Well, what of it? Was it Mr. Smith's fault that there were no cars at Camp Alger? You couldn't expect him to build a railroad with $22.50'. could you? ' That money was what he would have spent if the cars had been there. He wai ted for them, but they never came. He st ood there at his lonely post, faithfully guarding that $22.50 and ready to do his duty , as soon as other people did theirs. But he got no reward for it, no medal-s and now an un- TRAP SHOOTING JULY. FOURTH. not even thanks: 'grateful public is abusing him' for his thoughtfulness.

A GOOD MILE RACE. Which Resulted in a tie Another odd , Incident. ' . ." -;. . There was hustle and bustle on the street shortly after six o'clock Saturday. The stir was occasioned bjr hasty preparation to witness a mile horse race which had been ar ranged to take place on the Kiger track that evening between a horse owned by George Brown and Gene Tortora's bay mare. - The match was for $40 aside. People of, all stations flocked to the track by every available means, many going on foot ''- : In a brief time after the runners and the crowd reached the track preparation for the race was complete. Although the betting was not on a large scale it was spirited. John Scott rode the Brown horse andTortora rode his own ani mal. No time" ; was ' consumed scoring. ". : ' The racers got away at the first turn. The horses took a leisurely gallop over the ? first quarter, in creasing the speed on the second At the half they began to go some in toe tbird quarter, the mare, which had trailed her competitor so far in the race, closed up and when the runners came into the last quar ter ine norse was but slightly in the lead. At this point the contest really began. Both animals pat forth every exertion, and they came down the home stretch as though they were escaping the Heppner flood. Nobody could really tell which was ahead. The contest was so close that . the wish of the spectators became father to the thought and lusty cheers went up for both animals until after they passed the wire. Among specially interested onlookers both sides claimed the race for their favorites butit was otherwise with the judges. The bay mares judge said the horse won by a few inches, and the horses judge said the mare won by a like margin. This was a singular inci dent and reflects credit on the offi cials' honor if not on their judg ment It was a condition, however which was easily overcome.' and it was soon agreed to. call the race a tie. All bets were drawn. DIED OF DIPHTHERIA. MOVEMENT FOR IT. in Union BAD VINEGAR. Manufactured in Portland and Said to , be Sold in Corvallis. m, ... Portland Journal. Deputy State Food and Dairy C ommissioner Tartar returned this morning from Cot vallis,;- where he inspected; the Various kinds of vin egar sold by retail merchants of that city. Mr.iTartar states that he found two brands of the liquid that was being sold as goad cider vinegar to contain, matter foreign .- to the genuine article. The first of the two brands that are reported to be sold in violation of the state's pure food laws is said by Mr. Tartar to have been made ot nothing but the cores and peel- ings of apples, which - are said to produce a kind of vinegar not up to the standard- The other , sample that was condemmed by the Deputy Commissioner is said to have been manufactured from apples and mo lasses; the last named article is said to make the vinegar fall far, short of the standard that has been fixed by the state law. All the vinegar from which the two samples were selected has been condemned - and ordered to be taken off the market at once. Mr, Tartar stated this ''morning that both of ihe condemned brands of vinegar were manufactured in this city, and that the ? owners of the factories would be called upon to explain why they had sold it to the retail dealers of the ' state. It is said that there are three carloads of the "molasses kind" scattered among the wholesale and retail dealers of the city, but every drop of it will be ordered off the market.

Near ly every; other county . in Oregon has such an exhibit. , The new comers, 01 whom 15,000 have pas-; sed through the depot since the 1st of last January, are much ; interes ted in the displays. A sight of a fine sample of grasses or grains, big vegetables or fine jars of canned fruits, samples of wool or other products is said to be very pleasing as well as very instructive to the arriving home seekers. "A good specimen of what,your county .will produce strikes then with far grea ter effect than does anyliterature that you may place in their hands," said A. XeRoy, of the Oregon In formation' bureau, who was in Cor vallis over Sundajr. .
