Gorvallis Times! Official Paper of Beaton Cotmtr. COBTAXXI8. OREGON, MAS. 20.1904. WEI DEL A F? The immediate future is tp see fhe rural telephone, a fixture in every well ordered community. The rural phone is coming, because it is an inexorable sequence of eternal fitness. A few dollars for wire and phone, and a trifle for switching privileges place the farmer in in stant communication with neighbors, with town, with distant city. ' The need of the hour is made known by the effort of fa moment. The'J iso lation that has driven millions from farm to town is removed by an in vestment so small in comparison with the benefit, that it is a bauble. By the rural phone, inconvenience is swiftly transformed into conveni ence, and the country made as re sponsive to the throb of progress as is the city. . The only question in the matter is what community will be swiftest to realize the importance of the new order, and secure the greatest bene fit by being first to install it. The town that leads in the movement and tliertby secures widest connec tions in its system will realize the greatest advantage. Russia built Harbin in the heart of Manchuria as a swift and certain means for be coming master of that rich province. Corvallis can tieadjacent rural com munities to her by bands that will never sever if she will realize the value of rural phone connections, and act swiftly and aggressively upon the realization. The home seekers, of whom thousands are coming will best like-the farm that a moment's effort will bring in com munication with neighbors homes or the neighboring town. .That makes the farm more valuable, be cause more salable, and tends to make more residents in the commu nity. More residents, makes more people to pay taxes, more people to buy merchandise, and more people to make wealth. The question cannot be debated, because all the reason, all the fact, all the truth is on one side. There is but one possible con clusion, and that is the wider the rural system and the quicker it is installed the better, and the longer the delay in acting, the greater will be the loss of what is a golden op portunity. Every man in Corvallis ought to lend ear and aid to the present rural telephone movement. It is self preservation, because if he don't do it he will lose and lose heavily, ' . . Gives Health, Vigor and Tone. Herbin is a boon for sufferers from an eamia. Bv its use the blood is quickly regenerated and the color becomes nor mal. The drooping strength is revived. The languar is diminished. Health, vig or and tone predominate. New life and happy activity result. Mrs. Bell H. Shir el, Middlesborough, Ills., writes: "I have been troubled with liver complaint and poor blood, and have found nothing to benefit me like Herbone. I hope nev er to be without it. I have wished' that I had known of it in tnv husband's life time. 50c. Sold by. Graham & Wortham. Carrie Walton Nickerson. Carrie Walton Nickerson was bom in South Dakota.

Albert Marti SfteW.jfSHali ;FlnJ i Drowning in Siletz litter, -ti'' Albert Martin who in conjunc tion with Abe Logan was tried for the murder . of U. S. Grant last November and who has at this time a motion pending in the Unit ed States district court for a, .. new trial, last week saved the life of W. S. Hall of the firm of Hall . Broth ers of the Siletz, by a heroic deed. Last December, Judge Bellinger re leased Albert Martin from custody on approved bonds and Martin has been at Siletz, his home, since. W. S. Hall owes his life to Mar tin beyond a doubt. Mr. Hall and Mr. Mosier were floating down the Siletz river in a boat. Nearing, what in the summer is a ford, they struck a wire cable stretched across the river and the boat was at once capsized. In the struggle for life, both men seized this cable and by means' of it. Mosier reached the shore. Being a large man, Mosier's weight crowded the cable 7 or 8 feet in the raging waters 200 yards wide. Hall clung to the cable with a death grip and seemingly past recovery. Martin seeing the di lemma ot Hall plunged into the torrent to rescue him. With pow erful strokes he reached the drown ing man and after diving, repeated ly at last loosened Hall's grip from the cable. Then with his unconscious bur den he battled his way through the swift current to the shore. Hall's limbs were stiff and his flesh, turn ing black. After rolling and work ing with Hall for twenty minutes he was resuscitated.- Albert Martin seems to have much of God given hnmanity in . his makeup though his skin be dark. SELLING FARMS.

The prohibitionists of Benton held a convention and placed a county ticket in the field Thursday; The convention was presided over by Mr. Swan, and Prof Sheak' of Philomath was secretary. The de liberations occurred in the circuit court room, and consumed a large part of .the afternoon. It is but just to say'that, though its proceed ings were lively and interesting, the convention was an entirely "dry" one. The ticket nominated is as follows: Senator, Rev. E. F. Green; rep resentative, Prof. B. E- Emerick, commissioner, A. W. Herbert, Cor vallis; clerk E. F. Bryant, Corvallis; 1 assessor, Mr. VVertzbaugrier, Jfmlo math; school superintendent, O. V.

The contrast between the 'simplicity f the old time entertainment and the luxury and extravagance of today is no where more strikingly presented than in profusely illustrated article on "Modern Banquets" in the Cosmopolitan for March. Gorgeous dinners' at which guests dine on horseback, or in huge Easter eggs and kettles constructed for the occasion in great ball rooms, -- ban quets in cellars, and on roof gardens, amid bowers, and flower banked grottoes make up a striking series of pictures 1 showing the mad rush for the novel ! v.hii-h the wealthy American host has entertd upn.

HUNDRED THOBSTSD wftWj&IT In Benton CircuitCConH Jnrtee'Hanjili ion upneia oy supreme -t,ours.- - - A decision." of Judge Hamilton from the circuit court of Benton" was affirmed in the supreme . court Tuesday, " The case was the Hundred-Thousand-Dollar suit in which the Coast Land & Livestock Com pany foreclosed a mortgage on lands in Benton, Lincoln and Polk counties for collection of certain notes against the Oregon-Pacific Colonization Company. The latter is a company that bought the lands of the Coast " Land & Livestock Company, giving four notes aggre gating nearly $100,000 as a part of the purchase price, said notes being secured by mortgage on the lands. In the process of the foreclosure the defendants, after the land had been advertised enjoined the sale. On July 8th of last year the de fendants at a special term of , the circuit court moved that the decree of foreclosure be set aside and that the sheriff's return be quashed, the latter on the - ground that S. F. Cook was not vice president and agent of the defendant company. J udge Hamilton held against the deiendants, and the property was again advertised, and bought in by 'the Coast Land & Livestock Com pany. Meantime; appeal was taken by defendants to the supreme court and the result is affirmation of Judge Hamilton's decision, and the holding by the court that '- Sheriff Burnett's service in the 'case was complete and his'return legal: ' The decision gives the Coast Land & Livestock Company per fect title to the lands, of which there is about 63,000' acres. An Ode to Lagrippe. Burns could rhyme on - toothache and describe it with a will. But if he'd of had lagrippe he'd be writing on it still. ' For Bruns it took Scotch . whiskey to oil his flowing pen, But I must get my . inspiration on the lines of sober men. . As for Bunyan's man with muck rake who couldn't see a crown, I don't know as I can blame him if 'Twas King Lagrippe "that held him down. I tried to scrap him bravely and make him let me be, But I've found the pesky villian more than enough for me. So whao he gets you squarely stay snugly by a fire For it is indeed quite foolish. to pro voke the. devil's ire. . ' 'Tis then this oft masked demon loves to let you feel his power His aches and pains beset you, and sad melancholy lower, Till you feel like Satan has a vic tim and eternal gloom's his bower. O happy days of sunshine bright, happy das'S of spring, That wake the. sleeping daisies and inspire the birds to sing Come drive away the shadows winter's fog and rain; of Drive out King ' Grippe," the rant and let me plow again.
