Corvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, TRIDAY EVENING MAY 4, 1906, THE RETURNS. The official canvass of the prim ary election returns was made by the secretary of state yesterday. For governor on the republican ticket, 43,096 votes were cast, of which Dr. Withy combe got a plural ity over Geer of 263. Johns go 7,879 votes, Brown, 5,298 and Selhbrede, 1,832. Bourne's plural ity over Cake was 625, Benson's over Gatch, 1,446. Hawley's plurality over Tooze Vas 883, his vote being 8,295. The vote of Huston, whom Benton gave such a handsome testimonial, even against a native born Benton coun ty man, was only 4,712. Laborers are in great demand at $2.50 per day for the construction of the Corvallis mountain wate works, but in spite of that and many other inviting calls for his service, Outlaw Smith broke into a store at Troutdale to steal a few articles of minor value and killed three men and got killed as a sequel to the transaction. Half the energy he expended and the tribulation he passed through in his last days would by honest toil have bought most of the Troutdale store for Smith, and therein is a sermon in behalf of industry eloquent beyond compare. It will be well worth anybody's time to hear Charles Galloway dis cuss political issues " in Corvallis next Monday evening, or at Philo math at three o'clock the same af ternoon. Mr. Galloway is a native Yamhiller, and one of the best all round speakers in the country. He delivered the principal address at the big meeting of pioneers at Champoeg this week. He has fine intelligence and a most pleasing personality. To hear Mr. Gallo way wfll be to spend a very pleas ant hour, and perhaps a very profit able one. THE BOTTOM OUT. Of Cascara Market Three Years' Supply of Bark on Hand. The chittim-peeling season is on and there are inquiries as to prices. Present indications are not at all pro mising, is what a local dealer said today. Two and a half to three cents is the best price possible in Corval lis now, and that is the Portland price. There is a big surplus of the bark on hand, and until it is consumed in large part high figures will not again rule. The story of the situation is well told in the fol lowing from the Oregonian of Thursday : Cascara bark is again being offer ed rather freely, but theie is almost no market at ail for it. The lead ing dealers quote prices nominally at two and two and a half cents for new and two and a half and three cents for old bark. The he?vy unsold surplus is what depresses the market, as about three years' supply still remains on hand. Until this accumulation is worked off. there can be no material improve l - ment in price, and the surplus is not going to be reduced as long as peeling, continues. If -no bark were peeled for two or three years it would not only give a chance for the market to advance again, but the bark would also be much heavier by that time. vi A Philomath correspondent says: A construction crew under the supervision of Assistant En gineer Bogue, is engaged in placing along Main street, the laterals and hydrants which have been provided by the city council to attach to the Corvallis water conduit. With four hydrants stationed at convenient' intervals, and six hundred feet ot hose to play a stream on the col lege, any business house, and , at. least half of the residences . of the city can be"rea;hed with - water '. in case of fire.- - It Jis doubtful if there is another town in Oregon that ever had a water system brought right to its streets without expending a dollar for subsidizing the -project. The people of Philomath ought to appreciate the public spintedness 01 the business men of Corvallis wno nave at an enormous expense to their city projected and with dis- f patch brought to completion a pub lie utility of which we are to be re cipients for only a nominal ex penditure. TWO BIG LINES. Of Telephone Added to Local System Newport and Kings Valley. Two new lines of telephone have been added to the local Independ ent system. One is the Kings Valley Summit line, which was connected up with the local Inde pendent office . Tuesday evening. It is called the Summit Telephone Company- The rates for toll mes sages have not been fixed, and will not be until theie is a meeting of stockholders, many of whom are Corvallis business men. The other line is the Yaquina Bay Mutual Telephone . and Im provement Company's cdTarercial wire, which was brought to the city limits Tuesday evening and which is being connected up with the local Independent office today. It comes from Newport via Toledo, Elk City, Eddy ville. Sum mit and Blodgett, i following the Card well hill road toCorvaliis. At various points the company has switchboards to connect local lines to the trunk line, giving direct service to remote districts, , where telephone a few years ago was not dreamed of. The company was or ganized about a year ago in Lincoln county and its principal stockhold ers are Lincoln and Benton people. They are operating about 100 miles of line and are continually adding to lines and equipment. The completion of this line gives tele phone service to Newport which will be a great convenience to the people of Corvallis and other valley towns during the summer season. A. T. Peterson, of Toledo, is sec retary of the company. The building of the line has been under the direction of John Hewitt, who has had a foree of seven men most of the time. Construction operations began at Newport July 20th, last year and Summit was reached in September. Work was resumed at Summit March 20th, and the city limits of Corvallis was reached last Tuesday. The rates for toll have not been fixed. APPRECIATES THE KINDNESS. Letter from a Beneficiary of Corvallis . ' Ladies' Aid. " In a letter to Mrs. M. A. Can an, a sufferer from the San Fran. tisco disaster acknowledged the re lief afforded, in the way of clothing. by Corvallis ladies. The letter gives evidence of due appreciation of the kindness shown the San Franciscans in tme of need, and is calculated to further stimulate the effort to relieve those who lost their all in the great disaster. The letter is as follows: San Francisco, April 30. . Dear Mrs. Cannon; I found your card among things that . were sent to the S. F. sufferers, and as I am one of them I want to thank you for whatever you sent, whether it is the waist on my back or something else." You have helped in our distress and may you never experience the distress and feeling that we have gone through. As this is the only card I found, I can onlv thank vou. but you can extend our thanks to any one else who was as kind. We were driven , out by the fire, after which our house was blown up, On the hill we suffered intensely from pouring rain and the want of necessaries. We had two shocks last night and we live in dread of others. We have been through it all.. We are all so thankful to such as you May God bless you and yours.

Why Canned Goods Some times Kill People Some-, thing to be Avoided. The importance of not buvine canned goods which have been re processed is a subject treated in de tail in a recent bulletin on "Can ning" by Prof. Pernot. The way to tell that the goods have been re processed is explained in the article. 1 he purpose of heating fruit to be canned is to kill the spores or germs, which if left undestroyed cause fermentation. Atemperature of 240 degrees is usually ' resorted to fortius purpose. Prof Pernot has however, discovered and point-' ed out in his bulletin that more that one heating is necessary and that lower temperature may be used, which lower temperature prevents destructton of the fiber. He uses three applications of heat. If all the spores are not destroyed in the first htat, the grow and fermenta tion quickly begins. The canning people watch for this fermentation, the usual sign being a swelling of the can. It is then that a small hole is, punched through the top of the can to ease the pressure from the inside. The buyer can always tell when this has been done, be cause a small drop of solder is ap plied to close the hole, and by watching for it, can always see it on the top .of the can. Its presence there is a sure sign that after can ning, the trutt has started to spoil, and that it has been re-processed. That in turn means that there is danger inside the can, for fruit so re-processed is very liable to have developed ptomain poison, which poison is dangerous and many timss fatal to human life. In the camp where. E. E. .Cooper remained for two days during the recent burning of San Francisco, 200 people were poisoned by eating canned goods, and several deaths ensued. It ' is for these reasons that canned goods with an extra drop of solder on the top of the can should be avoided. Prof. Pernot's bulletin, in which the above is only incidental has attracted wide Pttention. Among letters received from far and wide as a result of the bulletin was one the other day from a big can-making establishment at Rutland, Ver mont, in which the writers state that the announcement only cor roborates a surmise they 1 have for a long time held. AS TO BEEF. Steers are High Priced now Five Cents in Portland for top Stuff. The present excellent prices for beef cattle are encouraging to stock men. ' Top beef is worth five cents in Portland which would be equal to lour and a halt here. I here is little or no such beef in this local ity however, says a local grower. but the best steers of the vicinity ought to bring something like four and a quarter cents. A good ani mal at that figure ought to yield its owner very close to $50. A well known stockman whohas such beef, and which he will turn off in about two weeks, bought his steers about this time last year at $20 per head. The contrast in price is very marked. Cattle have been very low for a couple of years, but it looks now as if the reactionary fig ure had set in." There is prospect that in a little while there would be a packing house in Portland, which oufiht to mean a steady market and an inexhaustible rnarket for beef, pork and mutton 'for all time, after which the low prices of the past months ought to become unknown For Sale or Trade.
