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.

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.

FIRST IN FIELD.
Prohibitionist Name a County Ticket
Convention Held Thursday.
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.
White, Philomath; recorder H. E.
Horton, Corvaflis; Treasurer,
George Bennett, Philomath; survey
or, S. E. Watkins, Philomath; cen
tral committee, Green, Sheak and
Bryant.
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

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.
