Articles of incorporation have been filed and the Summit Tele phone Company is one of the new Benton county corporations. The incorporators are B. W. Johnson, P. M. Zierolf and Marion Frantz. The capital stock is $1,000 and the principal office is to be at Corvallis. The purpose of the organization is to build and operate a trunk line of telephone between ' Summit and Corvallis. Enough stock has been subscribed to insure the construc tion of the line, and as soon as pre liminaries can be arranged, work will commence. The chief promot er is Marion Frantz, who has been at work on the proposition tor sev eral weeks. There is no money in the proposition for him or anybody else from the mere standpoint o making money, but the convenience to be' derived for all concerned is a motive full of justification for all the effort expended. There are a large number of stockholders, each of whom pay $5 per share and have free use of the line, Nonstockhold ers pay for the switching, and it is hoped this revenue will keep the line in repair. The route is to Summit via what is known as Dilleys corner. The latter is two miles northwest of Wren. There the line branches and one goes to Summit and the other to Hoskins. A meeting for organization of the company and election of officers is shortly to be held. The Corvallis stockholders are as follows: T. T, Vincent, First National Bank, E. E. Wilson, J. F. Yates, John Allen, Smith & Broder, J. R. Smith & Co. S. N. Wilkins, W. S. McFadden, B. A. Cathey, A. Hod es, P. M. Zierolf, Robert Huston, J. H. Harris! E. R. Alexander, R. M.

A special to the Indianapolis News from Marion, Ind., says that after a hard fight of seventeen years against competitors who ad vertised, Gunder Bros., dry goods merchants, the oldest mercantile firm in Marion, and at one time the largest retail house . in the the northern part of Indiana, have given up the hopeless struggle, and sold out their business. When gas was discovered in Mar ion the town began to grow rapidly and competition in all business was soon encountered by all the old merchants. The new merchants advertised, but many of the old es tablished firms were slow in believ ing that it was necessary for them to advertise, as they knew nearly every man in the county. All of them who are now in business con cluded that it was necessary to ad vertise in order to hold what trade they had and to increase it, except Gunder Bros., who absolutely re fused, . claiming it was money thrown away. The firm had the best business site in the city, but the store was never filled with shop pers. . Thousands passed and re passed the place day after day with out stopping. The firm carried an excellent line of goods and treated customers well, but only a few farmsrs and some of the old resid ents of Marion patronized the place and the store is now closed for the invoice. Should be Thousand Students at State C "Hege -What Man From Abroad Says. "If the people of Oregon only knew the character of the State College as it . is, there would be a thousand students here at the open ing time next September," Such was the statement of Rev. J. R. N. Bell of Baker City, whose series of meetings at the Presbyterian church ended last night. "The plant is far beyond what I, who have from a distance made more or less a study of the college, supposed isto be," he continued, "and the work of the faculty and the character ot the instruction far superior to what we had all supposed was- in the institution. It is in my judgment one of the greatest institutions on the Coast, and one exactly suited to the environments and popula tion of our state. I have noticed that the graduates it turns out, of whom we have several at Baker City, are people who at once take rank as men and women of affairs. The institution here makes much for a lofty standard of citizenship, and the influence of exceeding val ue to the state. "An item of rare value to the college is one perhaps that local citizens do not understand as well as we do from abroad. and that is the effect on the institution of the wise course pursued by the people of Corvallis and Benton county with reference to soloons. No step that your people could have taken has accomplished so much toward giving people in distant counties and communities abiding confidence in the State College. . First, it caus es the people abroad to suspect that it is. the higher moral standards in cident to the college existence that led the people to adoption of a measure prohibiting sale of liquor within the county. Second, it also gives people abroad the impression that the people ot Corvallis and vi cinity are determined to foster their great educational institution, and to that end voted to eliminate sa loons from their midst. The effect is a very happy advertisement for both town people and college, and one that is already exerting a large influence in drawing students here. You have here a number of stud ents from our own county of Baker several of whom I personally know were sent here because Corvallis is a dry town. I know of other stud ents from other Eastern Oregon counties who were sent here for the same reason, and I doubt not if the truth were known that they are here from eyery county for the same reason. Indeed, it is a fact, that even fathers and mothers who do not themselves object to the cup that cheers, desire that their boys and girls be sent to college where there are no temptations in this line. I rejoice with the people of Corvallis in the greatness of their college and in the happy combin ation of circumstances that keep the place, the people and the in stitution in such happy concord." Rev. Bell leit today for his home at Baker City. To Launch Horse Show De sire to Hold one in Corval lis Late in May. Shall there be a hore show in Corvallis about June 1st next? A committee of "arrangements have been appointed to bring about such an event. Plans involving a pro gram and features that cannot help but make the occasion interestine and profitable are on paper now. and give every promise ot material ization. Two or three days are to be devoted to the fete which will involve the competition of all kinds of horses for prizes, a great sale of horses in which buyers and sellers will come from all quarters, and be cause many other lnterestins fea tures, probably a number of speed I contests. One idea in the plan is to endeav or to give impetus to the horse business in Benton, and to make of the county a horse center. Crosby Davis is the originator, and the Citi zens League has the movement in hand. The matter was thoroughly discussed at a League meeting Tuesday night. There is big mon ey in horses. It is important that the industry should be promoted. Benton county produces as good animals as are to be found in any part of Oregon, and perhaps a larger per cent of thoroughbreds than any other section. With spans selling in the past few months at $200 to $650. according to their character, horses must be admitted to be a profitable species of proper ty. A prominent citizen pointed out at the League meeting that cattle the past year or two have netted their owners only about two to three cents per pound. Horses which are but little more expen sive to raise, have been yielding ten, fifteen and even as high as twenty cents per pound. It is claimed that in the light of these figures, the raising of fine horses ought to be encouraged, and it is pointed out that nothing would do so much to forward the industry as I would the proposed horse show. Crosby Davis thinks if the show be tried that it will at once become an annual affair, and within a short time be held two or three times a year. Such at least has been the experience in the localities where such enterprises have been con ducted under his notice. Crosby Davis is head of the com mittee of arrangements. Details and plans are now incubating, and it is very likely that much more will be heard of the enterprise in the near future. The Times be lieves the plan a splendid one. and expects to do everything possible to further it. The members of the committee are. Crosby Davis, chair man. F. L. Miller.

Prof. Pernot has received from Eugene, samples of water with a request that they be examined with reference to typhoid fever germs. He has been at work for some time on the samples, and it Is understood to have obtained some important results, but his task is not finished, and his report not yet ready to be made to those who for warded samples. On the subject of typhoid and water, the Eugene Register has the following: "Dr. Ralph C. Matson, the state bacteriologist, stated to the Register last evening, that he was satisfied that the present typhoid fever epi demic in Eugene is due to contain ination from the city water. He has taken a large number of samp les of the water from the wells and from mains, and will examine them at his large labratory. The milk supply as a source of contamina tion has been practically eliminated he says. In-no case are there more than five of the patrons of a dairy ill with typhoid. "Dr. Matson stated that the source of the fever was verv hard to trace because of inaccurate- re ports furnished to the state board of health. He intends' to investi gate the fever situation at Cottage Grove, and will also look into the logging camps on streams that emp ty into the Willamette above here. IS BENEFIT.
