Corvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, FRIDAY EVENING APRIL 13, J906; USING DRAG$, In all Parts of the County 1 estimonials About ! Them. Information is that road drags'as described in Tuesday's Times are coming into use all over Benton. Henry Hector, Charles LeVee, Ben Harris and others are using them in the district to the north of Cor vallis while William Jolly and oth ers have them at work on the roads to the Westward. Punderson Av ery who was recently over the roads to the southward, says the effect of the drpgs is excellent. From all quarters, the testimony is that no better investment for smooth ing up the roads can be made. It develops that several, months ago, County Judge Watters sent out cir culars to all parts of the county, describing the drag and urging its use upon residents of the various neighborhoods. After describing the manner of constructing the de vices, Judge Watters says in his circular: "At first you will have to drag when part of the road is too wet but after awhile it will dry evenly, and the first few times you drag it will be better for you to merely drive down one wheel track . and back the other, moving the dirt to wards the center of the wagon track. Gradually widen as you get a chance. This will give a solid foundation. If the wagon track is at one side of the highway, begin right there anyhow. The rest will follow in time. Don't be in a hur ry. First make a drag: second, use it every time you can improve the road by dragging. 'The hitch is the next in im portance to the time at which the dragging is done. The right time is just after the road dries a little alter a rain, or when it is thawed on top during the winter and spring. A smooth surface for travel is thus produced, but a more valuable re sult is that the road will shed the next rain instead of absorbing it. This is the reason why the road should .be dragged every time so that it will always be ready for the next rain. "Don't drive too fast. "Don't walk; get on the drag and ride. "Don't wait for the big grader to come up and shape the road; all that you can do first will help make the work of the grader permanent. "Don't try to drag with one piece; use two. With one piece you would scoop out the hollows in the road and deepen them. When two are used the one keeps the other up; and in a short the hollows will have filled and become level and hard like the balance of the road." Real Estate Transfers.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dollars Carried. 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 baying seeds for his garden, will gave several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs bnt a few cents, and a bottle of it in the house often saves a doctors bill of several dollars, For sale by Graham & Wortham, To Be or Not to Be. O. Pshaw.

Robert Johnson, secretary, Corvallis, Oregon. - April 6 1906. Charles V. Galloway, candidate for the democratic nomination for representative in congress from the first district, was born on a farm near Bellveu, in Yamhill county, January 6, 1878. He is a member of one of the honored pioneer families of Oregon; his father, William Gal loway, is at present circuit judge of the third judicial district. In 1895 while a member at McMinnville College, be won the state contest of the Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Associatin. He graduated with honors from the University of Oregon with the class of '99. During his uni versity course he took a prominent part in student enterprise; was a member of the debating team which in 1899 won the championship of tne state, upon leaving school Charles V. took up the management of the Galloway farm near McMinnville. This has been his principal (oc cupation since that time. In 1902, legislature by a substantial plurality, being the first democrat elected to trom Yamhill during a period of ten years. In the session of 1903 his record was one of which any man might well be proud. Declining re nomination in 1904, Jie accepted the position of superintendent of the Oregon horticultural exhibit at St. Louis; and during the constructive period of the Lewis and Clark Exposition he was general superintend ent of exhibits for the Oregon state commission. In experience and habits of thought Charles Galloway is much older than his years indi cate. Most of his life has been spent out of doors on the farm; he is rugged in body and alert in mind. In disposition he is happy and genial; his view of men and affairs is broad and many-sided. He is a student, not only of books, but of nature and humanity; and has abid ing faith in the gospel of honest hard labor. He is simple and demo cratic in habits and thought, never afraid to speak out plainly and definitely. If nominated he can be depended upon to state his position fairly and positively on every question that may properly be called an issue of the congressional campaign. If elected to congress he will, re gardless of circumstances, keep and carry out every pledge and promise that he may make to the people of the first district. At the democratic rally and banquet in Salem on February 27th last, Charlie Galloway was one of the principal speakers, responding to the '"Democracy of Jefferson." In its report of this meeting the Daily Oregon Stateman (republican) said: "Mr. Galloway was warmly received and made a splendid oratorical effort, declaring Jefferson the grandest representative in history of gov ernment by the people. Political psrties have arisen to harmonize and equalize the forces of government. Two great parties have always ex isted in opposition and these have son and Alexander Hamilton, no matter by what names they have been known. He quoted from Jefferson sptnt of the latter dominated the republican party of today and that Jefferson was today's democracy. He eulogized in eloquent terms, the ine, principles ana teachings or Jetterson, whom he styled 'the patron saint ol national democrac3. His most comprehensive and most complete exposition of democratic doct rines in their most acceptable forms of dress that has ever been present ed in Salem, and was an exhibition of charming oratory that is rarely heard from any platform. Mr. Galloway certainly made a grand effort and excellent impression on his hearers. The whole affair was a grand success and a social event, all the speeches were entertaining and in structive and were warmly applauded in each instance, Mr. Galloway receiving a perfect ovatioo." The democrats in Yamhill county in open mass assembly at Mc Minnville on March 16, 1906, adopted this resolution: "We oommend and nuanimously endorse the candidacy of Yamhill.s splendid young democrat, Charles V. Calloway for representative in congress." THE BOOKS CLOSED. Seventeen Hundred Voters are Registered in Benton The Figures.
