Corvallis Times Official Paper of Benton County. CORVALLIS, OREGON, -TUESDAY EVENING FEB- 6, 1906. DATE EXPIRED WHY DEFEATED. George H. Williams, ex-mayor of Portland, ex-senator of the Unit ed States, ex-attorney general of the American Union, declared in Portland the other day. that the best thing the people can do is to vote down all the laws and constitu tional amendments now pending tinder the initiative. It was a re mark that comes with ill grace from a man who has been so much and so notably honored by his country men. Two many measures have, perhaps been proposed; the same thing is made the subject of legis lation in too many measures: but that is no reason for the people to turn against all measures, and vote them down. Except the Jayne 5 bill, every measure proposed aims at betterment of conditions. There 13 purpose in the proposed laws to distribute more evenly the burdens of taxation, and this, the ex-mayor, x-attorney general, ex-senator says should be tnrned down with the rest. There is an effort to re duce the silly and senseless state printing expense from $50,000 or $60,000 a year to within reasonable limits, say $10,000 a year, and this Citizen Williams says should be voted down. His statement, if he be correctly, quoted, is the best in dication in the world that Mr. Wil liams should have been defeated in his recent candidacy for ie-election to the mayoralty of Portland. Puter andMcKinley are in China promoting railroad schemes, so the papers say. Future announce ments from that quarter will be awaited with interest, in view of certain little transactions in which the pair engaged before they left the United States. It might not be too much to expect, to hear later that one is head of the entire rail road system of the Orient with the other on the throne as tuling sov ereign of the empire. Heaven help the Chinamen. For Proposing new Laws What Other Dates in Prim ary law afe. The date has expired for filing new laws to be voted on by the people under the initiative.

All things considered, even were it true as alleged, that Hawley is a preacher, might it not be a good thing for the republicans to send bim to congress ? What other spot on 1 his eartn oners a more tempting field for missionary work Incidentally what a contrast it would be to the material they sent there last. of It was for this, our forefathers fought, bled and died ! It was for these guarantees that our grand old constitution and our code laws exist, towit, to enable Georgia drummer who strayed into the legislature to introduce a bill requiring country hotel keepers to keep clean sheets on the beds! 1ML ROAD AFTER THE9L Has Spent Hundred Thousand in Advertising Big Imnvgratioa Expected. John Paul Jones a Missourian and the genial traveling passenger agent of the Southern Pacific was in town Saturduy in the interest of Eastern immigration for Corvallis and Benton. His company has spent $100,000 in advertising in eastern magazines and news papers and in other ways, the object being to populate more densely the region served by Southern Pacific lines. A heavier population along these lines means more passenger travel and a greater volume of freight to be hauled, which in turn means larger reven ues for the railroad. Mr. Jones chief business in town was with local real estate men. The purpose was to arrange with them for securing information rela tive to people in the eastern states who have signified a desire to come west to settle, or of whom.it is known that they might be induced to come to the Coast to live. With such information in hand, the rail road will have its eastern represent atives, of whom there are many in the field, call on the prospective home seeker and do what may be done toward getting him started for the land of the big red apples. The effort will be to send the party to the person and the town or county from whom the information is. furn ished the railroad company. The plan is certain to prove extremely effective, because the railroad peo ple are in the best position of any body to work the East for best re sults, having a superb organization, having an equal or greater interest than local people in securing immi gration, and having the means at I hand for reaching the greatest num ber. Mr. Jones is conviuced that the current year is to see the greatest immigration in the history of the Northwest. The Colonist rate goes into effect February 15th, when settlers can come to Oregon irom any Missouri river point for the very small sum 01 $25, which is cheaper, as a matter of fact than is staying at home. PLAYED BALL. TOO COLD THERE. With $120,000,000 as ics divid ends for the year, it is very proper ly styled, the United States Steal trust. The nomination of W. C. Bristol as United States District Attorney for Oregon is held up and may be withdrawn, on charges of unprofes sional conduct, in which i is alleg ed that he accepted a fee of $500 to influence a client to buy a $40,000 timber tract. Oregon timber seems fatal to Oregon officialdom. State Normal and State College Girb Big Crowd There Tie Game, According to all accounts the basketball game at the Armory Friday evening was both strenuous and exciting. It was between the State College and State Normal School girls, and it ended in a tie, The first half was three to o for O. A. C, but early in the second half the Normals rallied and tied the score at five to five, in which po sition the larger part of the second half was played, with the conse quence of course, that interest was at high pitch. A basket was se cured on a foul by Miss Harring ton, but the claim was set up that she overstepped the mark, to which: proposition after some time the offi cials yielded and the tie resulted. The crowd was a record breaker. It is said to have been exceeded on ly on one or two former occasions. The gallery was jammed and down stairs there were two rows of seats filled, with many people standing Some unpleasantness, resultant from guying of players and the theft of a Normal girl's cap were incidents of the game, in consequence of which the Normal people went borne more or less out of humor. The O. A. C. girls played good ball, but met an excellent team. The local players were, forwards, Miss Harrington, Miss Logan; cen ter, Miss Moore; guards, Miss Lin ville, Miss Gellatly. OASTOIIIA.

Colbert. P. Avery. Sewer Committee. For a Corvallisite In Iowa, a Land of Thrift and Hospitality. J. F. Yates arrived Sunday from a 16 days trip East, where he went with the remains ot the late Henry Holroyd, who died in Cor vallis January 17th. The inter ment took place at Oelwein, the old home of Mr. Holroyd and family before their removal to Corvallis. The deceased was held in very high esteem in the community, as is the case with all the Iowans who have come from that and adjoining towns to Benton county. Mr. Yates visited in Fayette, the old home of the Colberts, Franciscos and Fow ells, about whom there were many inquiries irom old neighbors. K. Johnson, of Fayette, a brother in-law of Frank Francisco was among those visited by the Corval lis man. The Iowans, Mr. Yates declares to be an enterprising people and the state thrifty and progressive. The great drawback is the intense cold ot the winter and the heat of the summer, making a climate too strenuous for a Corvallisite. Many people there talk of coming to Ben ton to investigate, if not to locate on account of climatic conditions. Mrs. Holroyd will remain for the present, where there is a large es tate to be settled. FLIES AND TYPHOID. What Experiments at the Col lege Showed They Carry the Germs. How house flies will carry ty phoid fever germs has been dem onstrated in recent experiments by Prof. Pernot in the bacteriological department at the State College. Tbe results show that in typhoid fever cases it is of the utmost im portance that the honse or hospital where there is a typhoid case .should be kept absolutely clear of flies. In tbe experiments, Prof. Pernot took flies in the larvae state and from that stage of life raised them to maturity. Throughout their ex istance they were kept in jars, per fectly sterilized, and fed only food known to be absolutely free from germs. When they had advanced to maturity they were given food into which typhoid fever germs had been introduced. Then they were carefully watched to see what would happen as a result of the in troduction of the germs. Within a comparatively short time excretions from them were found to contain typhoid germs, both active and numerous. The result demonstrat ed absolutely how the house fly, feeding about where a typhoid pa tient is under treatment, can itself become contaminated with the germs, either with its feet or through its stomach and carry the germs to persons in the house or to others more or less distant from the build ing. The only reason that there is not more contamination by this medium is, that typhoid germs are easiest, if not only introduced into the human system through the mouth, which considerably lessens the peril of contamination, though where the disease prevails, the men ace is always present if flies are al lowed ingress or egress. - One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dollars Earned. The average man Joes not save to exceed ten per cent, of his earnings, lie mustspenu nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved, that being the case he can not be too careful about unnecessary ex penses. Very often a few cents properly in vested, like buying seeds lor his garden, will save several dollars outlav later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few cents, and a bottle of it in the house often saves a doctor s bill of several dollars. For sale by Graham & Worlham. Relief Corps Tea.
