Corvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, FRIDAY EVENING AUG. 3, 1906. CUMMINS. In the triumph of Governor Cummins for nomination to a third term In Iowa, there is a significant illustration of the trend of the time. He is of the new type of statesman. He stands for tariff revision and against rail road and trust aggran dizement. Opposed to him were Mr. Roosevelt's secretary of the treasury, and all the backing that the stand pat interests could mus ter. The struggle was as fierce as tt was decisive, and the reform gov ernor is an easy and overwhelming winner. The voterj of Iowa has been cajoled and duped with twaddle about "protection" and its blessings until he has heard finally that as a result of the system the English man, the German, the Frenchman and other foreigner buys American products a long ways cheaper than he does, and' that the great big advance he is compelled to pay is what enriches the '"protected" trust baron and keeps him poor. He has heard that under this sys tem Russia bought Carnegie ar mor plate at $249 a ton when our government was paying $500 to $700 per ton for exactly the same article, the facts of which were actually reported to congress by a congressional committee, which ad ded that the outside cost of armor plate was $200 per ton. Having heard these and similar transactions most of the Iowa republicans stood in with their tariff-revision govern or, and it is a mighty good sign. After a long and vain search with microscope and fine-tooth comb in Russell Sage's will for a trace of philanthropy, it has been concluded that if he ever did a stunt of that sort he didn't let the left hand know what the right hand was doing. In Self Defense. Major Hamm, editor and manager of the Constitutionalist, Eminence, Ky., when he was fiercely attacked, four vears ago, by Piles, bought a box ot Bncklen's M&rnica Salve, of which he saye. "It Jf cured me in fen dajs and no trouble since." Quickest healer of t urns, Sores, Cuts & Wounds. 25c at Allen & Wood ward's drug store. KICKED AT A DOG. And hit a Wall The Luck less Dream of a Corvallisite. Jesse Spencer had a strange dream, the other night. He dreamed that he was offended at a canine. It was a lowborn, mangy cur of a dog with no respect for God or man, and apparently no desire but to bark and growl at ev erybody and everything within its particular horizon. At last its conduct became unbearable to Jesse and be determined to kick the un civil cun He summoned all his strength and when, according to his judgment, the canine Was at exactly the prcper distance and in a suitable attitude to be well and scientifically kicked, Jesse let drive. But it wasn't the ugly cur that uttered a yell of pain. It was Jesse. In his sleep, and in his , wrath, his toe struck, not the dog, but the bed room wall, and that too, with an impact that made the windows rattle. To heighten the trouble brought on by this nasty but imaginary sooner of a dorg, Jesse's toe is badly affected with ingrowing nail, and of course, that spot hit the wall the hardest. The tee is gently handled now, and as a precaution against future accidents Jesse ties a pair of brass knuckles on it at night time, and sees to it that his wife is safely out of the room in case of a recur rence of the dream of the ornery dorg and his effort to kick it.

PREFER GARDEN FARM. For County Poor County Court will Sell or Rent New County Farm. At the April term of circuit court for Benton county, the grand jury made a report recommending the purchase by the county of a farm near Corvallis, to be used as the county poor farm. The recommend ation was unanimously made by the jury, and in accordance there with, the county court purchased 160 acres formerly known as the iWells & Mackay hop yard, 2 1-2 miles from Corvallis. ; The price paid was $35 per acre, ,. At this week's meeting, the commissioners court authorized the county judge to receive ordeis for the sale or rent of the farm at his discretion and to make investigation with a view to purchasing a smaller tract. The order of the court, is as fol lows: "On July 11, 1906. the pres ent county court went out to said farm and made personal examina tion of the Lnd and its buildings, and among other things to consider its adaptability to the purpose for which it was intended when pur chased. "Now, having fully considered this matter, this court does not con sider it advisable or for the best in terest of Benton county to expend of the county funds an additional amount necessary to erect suitable buildings and make such other im provements as would be necessary to prepare the place for a comfort able home for our county charges. The court further considers that a small tract of good land suitable for gardening as better adapted to this purpose. Therefore, it is or dered that the county judge be, and he i9 hereby authorized to receive offers to purchase or to rent said farm and to report the same to this court at its next regular term." THINGS THEY SAY. About Ordinances That are In- Operative A Woman's Opinion. The Times has been commended by a number of people for an ar tide in Tuesday's issue relative to certain city ordinances to which no attention is paid. ' Among others who have mentioned the matter is a lady who called the office up by phone and after expressing appre ciation of the article said: "We have been thinking all along of building a home ;n thiscity, and at one time had about determined to do so; but with cess pools main tained on many blocks where there are sewers and water and with oth er nuisances Deing maintained in complete defiance of city laws, we have simply delayed building to see whether city affairs will take a turn for the better." There is no doubt in the world but the growth and progress of the town is in a measure retarded by the very con ditions to which this Corvallis woman alludes. Among the or dinances that are very largely inoperative are these: Requir ing grass to be cut in the streets; prohibiting gates from swinging over sidewalks; prohibiting use of barbed wire within the city limits; prohibiting cess pools and requiring water closets to be connected with sewers where laterals .have been builc. CONTRACT LET. For Brick Building on Main Street Charles Heckert gets the Job. The contract was awarded Wed nesday for the erection of a twe story brick building- on the site now occupied bv the Centennial meat market, between the White- j horn acd Masonic buildings. The structure is to be 100 feet deep, ex tending from the street to the alley in the rear, and will be 23 feet wide in the clear. It is to be built by the Jan.es Taylor heirs, and will cost $4,000 in addition to the two side walls to which the builders have hitherto acquired the right to attach. The rear wall and a sec tion ot 20 feet from the alley to the Whitehorn wail, besides the front, roof, floors and inside finishing is all that will have to be built. Thi contract was awarded to Charles Heckert at something over $3,800, the only other bidder being aa Al bany manA Wet k will begin as soon as the contract is S'gned, which w.llbe in a day or two. The old building will be used while the rear walls are being constructed, after which it will be removed. The new structure will bs occupied by the present meat market below, and the front roomj on the upper floor bv a tenant who is said t have alreiwlv eiKyasrrd -.ihem. BITXS ALLOWED.

Hoase to Eotise Canvass. Representatives of: the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company have started a house to house canvass among the farmers of this county, offering an extreme ly low rental for instruments to be used in connection with the central offices of the Company throughout the county. For .c8 1-3 cents a month the subscriber is given free switch ing with all the other sub scribers connectinrr with his central exchange.
