Corvallis Times Official Paper of Benton Cotmty. CORVALLIS, OREGON, FRIDAY EVENING FEB- 9, 1906. FRUIT FROM AFAR. AS PORTLAND DOES IT. It is possible that people in the country have old fashioned and outworn notions of what the moral standards in city life ought to be. It is possible too, that these old fashioned folk may have false and superficial conceptions of whatought to be the civic standards of S states men who serve the municipal coun cil of a city, and for that reason, what seems to them the swift pace set by the statesmen of the Portland city council may be wholly inaccur ate. Here for instance is the Richards establishment, a place of lascivious debauchery, characterized as a"ho tel."It is the admission of all the Portland papers that it is the high toned resort of libertines,a voluptu ous dive where young girls are en ticed and ruined, and an assemb ling ground of the fashionably lewd. According to the testimony of a Doliceman whose beat bordeis the establishment, one young girl with hair dishevelled escaped the place, pursued by her would be destroyer, and by a heroic defense, saved her honor from the cowardly libertine who pursued her. It was test! mony that the street light over the door always went out when a car nage arrived, ana biazea again when the occupants had passed in side. In short, all Oregon and all Portland knows the place to be t big assignation house, more dis reputable because essaving the robes of respectability. In the face however, of all this, eight municipal statesmen, stood on the floor of the Portland council and voted down a report of a com mittee, reyoking not the privilege of the rotten establishment to do business in Portland, but simply witndrawing a license to sell liquor Even, after the contumely the place has brought on the name of Portland these council men refused to have Richards rebuked by even so small a penalty as simple revocation of his license to sell liquor. What is vastly more to their shame, however, is that they did not in manliness come out openly in defense of Richards and T 1 V i . J i - V . f uge by saying that not enough ev idence had been adduced. They claim not to know, what all the PaciSc Northwest knows, and that is the damnable character of Rich ards and his place. What they do know is that no young woman who has been ruined at Richards can be induced to go on a witness stand and acknowledge the fact, and sim ple folk out in country towns can not help but believe these Portland councilmen thought that subterfuge a good way to save Richards and his business. Inhe country now the wonder is, do Portland councilmen' correct ly reflect the moral standards ot the City of Portland. As is the source so usually is the stream. If, as would naturally be suspected, the council is an accurate reflection of Portland's moral ideas, why robe the city in roses when underneath there is such uncleanliness. In no coun try town in Oregon, would the Ri chards place be allowed to exist for a moment, much less would there be men to appear in the council of . a country town as its apologist and .subterfugist as did Councilman Sheppard in Portland Wednesday. Perhaps though, country people do not understand the proprieties and ethics of modern city life, especially as given to the world by Count Bo ni de Castellane in Paris and Mr. Richards, in Portland, Oregon. Per sent new bac- Came From Islands of the Pacific to Corvallis Is for Canning. A big crate of pineapples, all the way from Honolulu, was a curious shipment that arrived in Corvallis the other day, and thereby hangs a story of some interest. The pine apples are of immense size, and luscious beyond compare. In com parison with those from California, sometimes seen in the markets they are as giant to pigmy. The shipment came to Prof, not at the college. They are here to be canned under the process promulgated from the teriological department of which Prof. Pernot is the head. The process was the subiect of a bulle tin, and also of many newspaper ar tides. A complete description of the method, particularly in connec tion with sweet cider appeared in the Times. Very wide attention has been attracted to the college by the process, as the incident of the pineapple will illustrate. Recently a letter came to the head of the department from Hon olulu. It was from H. Grant, the head of a large canning establish ment at Honolulu. The writer re lated that he had seen in the Satur day Evening Post, published at Philadelphia, a description of the new canning process evolved at the Oregon State College, and request ed permission to send to the college crate of pineapples for experiment' al purposes. The receipt here the other day of the crate of luscious fruit is the result of the corres pondence that ensued. Prof, Per not has canned the fruit, and will later on send halt of it to Honolulu to test the feasibility of his process for shipping and climatic tests. The other half will be kept at the col lege, to be opened at stated periods. By the Pernot process the fruit is canned under a low temperature in which the fibre is not destroyed and what we call the meat of the fruit is not cooked but preserved in its natural shape and state. Cider so preserved a year and a half ago, is as sweet as the day it was bottled All kinds ot vegetables have been similarly preserved in the depart ment. IN THE WRECK. Benton County boy in Train Collision at Bridal Veil Was Injured. A Benton county boy figured in the late train wreck at Bridal Veil in which the Pacific Express crash ed into the Spokane Flyer in a rear end collision. He is Vernon Jones who resides near Willamette Grange Hall. He arrived in Cor valhs Wednesday, enroute home from The Dalles, where he has been for some time on a business visit. The collision took place Tuesday morning. The young man was in the smoking car of the. wrecked train and at the time of the wreck he was in tne act of leaving his seat when the runaway engine struck the standing train, the shock threw him over the backs of three coach seats and he fell on his head and shoulders between two seats in such a manner as to sustain serious injuries. His head and face were badly scratched, and his neck was so badly injured that he was unable to wear a collar. Asked as to his injuries, he stat ed that he had ; seen a physician at the scene of the wreck and was in formed that he was not seriously hurt. Mr. Jones boarded the wrecked train at The Dalles, His trunk which was . in the baggage car of the train on which he came down was oadly . scarred up as a result of the wreck. Notice to Bidders.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dollars Earned. The average man does not save to exceed ten per cent, of his earnings. He must spend 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 for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Eemedy. It costs but a few cents, and a bottle of it in the house often saves a doctor's bill of several dollars.
