Circulated in Corvallis Some ; thing Abont thePlAn. "' . :' i Petitions are in circulation in Corvallis, asking-, congress to in aogurat 1 a one cent letter postage, ana protestirg against a propoitd bill for the establishment of a par cels poet service. . It. iis said, that evejsy person, to whom the petitions have been presented bag' unhesi tatingly signed.. ,.. r .. The penny letter postage plan has been sgitated for several year!". Io i s favor is the report "of the p .stmastfcr general in . 1890 show ing that while tbe aotuil co t of handling the letter business of ibe country was only $8,000,000, the revenue, derived by the govern ment therefrom, was . $38,000,000, yielding a prom ot 3o,ooo.oo3 or 375 per cent, Based on this re pot ti the estimate is thut on a one cent rate for letters, the govern ment could still handle the busi ness atan . enormous profit. The present excess of the profit on the two cent postage on letters is ex pended in. carrying tbe illegitma'e business in second clas3 matter, embodying the advertising. , matter sent out by various coaceroe, brgus and otherwise, all over the coun try. Another most favorable con sideration is, that every pereon in tbe entire country would be a beneficiary.- Two celt poslage , Jiot only in many- a case with piivate individuals, but with ell business cooceros, is an important itf ro, in the year's expenditure, With the expense cut in twain, a benefit would accrue in which ail tbe peo ple in the country would be befle fi ted. TAXING ALL FOR A FEW. The Parcels Post pLtn, to which the petitions protest, is a scheme by which it is proposed io still main tain the two cent pott gs on letters and spend the excess in the trans position of merchandise by mail at greatly, reduced rates. For in stance, it is propoeed to carry it pounds of merchandise to any part of the country for 25 cents. The charge for the service would be but a very small per cent of tbe eost. and the loss entailed, which would be enormous, is to come out of the profit on the two cent - postips ar rangement, it is in short, the. de sire to transform the mails from thelegitimatechannel into a sort of commercial express business, tew ing tribute on all tbe people to keep it up. The real beneficiaries, will be, not all the people, but the iaige depaitooent etores of ' the country, compa'a'ively few in number. These people hope by the scheme to have the government bear the chief portion of the expense in trans porting their packages, the gov ernment in turn maintaining, the two cent postage ' plan," in ' which all people shall be taxed to raise meaos for the added expense- la brief, it is the purpose of these big establishments if possible, ' to use the government as a means of tax ing everybody, creating a sort . of paternalism that meaus millions of dollars lor a favored lew at tae ex- pene of the many. .-t , HE BIT ONCE BUT NOT TWICEi IN WINTER TIME. Building in Corvallis The Number tf Winter-Built Structures ns Unnsnal. A fact that has perhaps escaped general attention is that building operations have been in progress in Corvallis all winter. When com pleted the cement building on Main street will be a product of the .win ter season Operations on it began late in the autumn, at ajtime when building has-entirely ceased. The structure is now under a - roof" and the exterior of the waits finished . The tipper. portion of the front is in and it presents, a pleasing effect The, floors are now being laid, and the promise- made some time ago that , the place would be ready for occupancy by' March ist is certain to be. redeemed. Another building that was not commenced until afterthe osteal pe riod tor such , work as the Charles Heckert house in Job's addition, now fully enclosed, and-with a force of men at work on the inside. The Chiptnan house on Fourth street is still another example: of winter con struction, and t he same is "practical ly true of the Hersig bouse. With & rainfall of .but threeaoches in De cember -and an almost rainless Jan uary, the present season- has been very favorable for-winter work of. all kinds.

April 25th, 1902: "For 10 to 12 years I had been afflicted with a malady known as the itch.' The itching was most unbear able: I had tried tor years to nnd relief, having tried all remedies I could hear of, besides a number of doctors. I wish to state that one single application ot Bal lard's Snow Liniment cured me com- nletelv and oermaneutly. Since then I have used the liuiment on two separate occasions for ringworm and it cured com pletely. 25c, 50c and f 1.00. Sold by Graham & ortham. HBALTH Means the ability to do a good day's work, without undue fatigue and to find life worth living. Yon cannot have indi gestion or constipation without its upset ting the liver and polluting the blood. Such a condition may be beet and quick est obtained by Herbine, the best liver regulator that the world has ever known. Mrs. V. W. bmitn writes, April 3, 1902 "I use Herbine, and find it the best for constipation and regulating the liver I ever used.', Price 50 cents. Sold by Graham & WortHam. It is no part of the business of government to fielp ; nut, - tkese big concerns in their private business. The terpetuat on of thesmall retail traders is essential to general wel- fa-e. Id meaos livelihood for more people, which in torn' means more consumers of farm-grown products. It means the occupation of more building?, and more employment for builders. Such establishments as Montgomeiy Ward & Company and S-arf-Rotbii k of Chicago, are a D3:i ivj dttrirreat to the entue country, and those who deal with! them err in judgment, . The char acter of these houses is illustrated by tbe fact that they do not attempt to do a retail business in Chicago, but depend on orders from a dis tance for the immense profits they yearly pile up. With them . it is always the case 01 buying a pig in a poke, and hence there . is always nrofit.. The pie may Iook line other Dies, and - squeal like other Dies, but is diiierent. A .Benton county man bought a complete suit of clothes, hat, shoes, and all from one of them for $10: but he never wore the outfit. Neither did he ever buv another from them He buvs reerularlv and entirely of the home dealer now, and always eets his money's worth. The sure way always is to buy ot a ueaier who is within reach and from whom satisfaction can be obtained in case tbe article is not up to a proper standard. These reasons illustrate why a parcel's post scheme for the benefit of the bie department hou ses and to be maintained at the ex pense of all the people, is undersir able. A penny postage is a plan whose establishment would please and benefit all people. The return of . the registrar- general of births, marriages and; deaths fo,- the year 1900, the first compfette year since the war broke out, shows a de cline in marriages and births- and an increase in deaths, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The marriage rate was 16 per 1.000, compared with 10.4 'in 1898-99. The births in 1900 num bered 927,062, or a rate of 28.7 per 1,000, the- lowest record, and? 1.3 per j cent, below the mean rate- for thc- last ten years. The illegitimate birth rate was 1.1 per 1,000, which is the- lowest record. The deaths numbered' v 587,830, or 18.S per 1,000, as-against 17, 17.4 and 17.8 m the prevfpus three years. Of the deaths, 3,683 were im mediately due to alcoholism or de lirium tremens. The death rate from alcoholism was 133 males and 95" fa males per 1,000,000: Both these rate svere the highest on record: The deaths . from- tubercular riseases were 10.14 percentum of the death from all causes, aggregating 61,302. The strength of the army at bam rnd abroad was 383,037. The death were 10,554, giving a- rate of 27.6 per 1.000, as compared with 10.12 and 10.5 in the preceding three' - years. The mortality in the army abroad was .'36.1 per cent, per 1,00,.' as compared with an average of 14.5 in th preceding-five yean. - -The death? rate at home was 8.2, as compared' with an average of 4.3 In the- preceding five years. ; Groceries for Cbc holidays January 5, 1904; is the Date , , For Opening after the Holidays.
