Corvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, 'TUESDAY EVENING, NOV. 20, 1906 At Portland, there is effort to prove that Willamette apples are as good as grow. The attempt will probably succeed. Hood River apples brought $3 a box this season But to'produce like Hood River and sell like her, Willamette must cul tivate, spray, select orchard sites, sort, pack and market like Hood River. Under any other plan than that she employed Hood Riv er would have failed. A properly selected site on soil 10 feet deep and drained as to water and air to gether with application of industry, science and sense are vital essen tials. That done there will be no such word as fail in Willamette in apple growing and when that day comes, some . lands that now sell for $10 for goat pasture will be worth $200 or $300 an acre for apple orchard, and the owners will "be waxing rich. MANY PRIZES OFFERED. SMALTEST SALARY IN STATE. If the San Francisco trolley deal gave Mayor Schmitz $3,500 for an outlay in oriental rugs for the floors of his house, what a snug sum there must have been for his Ruef. If the announcement that Sen ator Piatt is to resign were backed up by a good solid guarantee bond the several eligible New York gentlemen who are sitting up and taking notice of the rumor would feel more at liberty to act. A seat with a millionaire senator in it is never vacant until its vacant. And was it for this that Jay Gould packed a surveyors chain in early manhood, wore old clothes and toiled, planned and saved, to- wit; that he might become the father-in-law of a titled jackass with its lid always off? Goodnough Montieth Concert. Mordaunt Goodnough, pianiste, John Claire Monteith, baritone, at the Presbyterian church, Thursday evening. Program begins at 8-30 sharp. Admission, adults, 35, children, 25. Concerning this at traction, the Morning Astorian says: "Every one present at the Mon tieth-Goodnough concert at the First M. E. church, was fortunate in devoting his or her evening to this especial entertainment. It was in an artistic sense, one of the finest and most satisfying ventures of the year and should have had b packed house to the doors. Ev eryone of the score of offeings by these talented gentlemen was en cored heartily and appreciated deep ly. The dismal weather and the primary election were interfering factors, but all who refrained from attending were distinct losers, what soever their reasons may have been."

Many Have Signed the Call for Com mercial Club- WhoThey- are Eigh ty Members Wanted. The commttee appointed for the purpose , is canvassing for member ship to the proposed commercial club. Up to today with but little effort the fallowing have signed the call: John Allen , J. M. Nolan V. E. Watters, J. C. Hammel, A. J. Johnson, Dr. Harper, J. F. Yate- M. S. Woodcock, Walter Wiles George Lilly, B. W. Johnson, B.F. Irvine, E. E. Wilson, E R. Bryson C. Schenofield, E. A. Milbr. J. R. Smith, Wal er Corbett, George W. Denman. James A. Cooper. E. H. Smith, E1 Smith S- N. Wilkins W. D. DeVarney, Henry Ambler Thomas Nolan Alex Rehnie, Thos. Callahan R. H. HnstonJ. H' Har ris. So far there have been no re fusals. As is well known Corvallis is the ooly town of its size in Oregon with out such an organization as is DroDOsed. Even many smaller towns have well appointed club rooms with a large and interes'ed membership. The equipment pro poses reading rooms with all per iodicals and newspapers, card rooms bowline alleys, erymnasium with shower bath and otherparaphernal- ia incident to such establishments The membership is placed at not less than eighty and the admission fee at $25, and the dues at $1 per month. The committee will con tinue its canvass at convenient hours. For a Recorder Benton Gets ' but Little More lhan Half as Much as Next Lowest. The fees of his office more than pay the salary of the county record er The recorder of Benton receiv es the munificent sum of $800 per year. The salary is the smallest paid by any county in the state, j It was iormerly $1,000 a year, and that is the figure at which it ought to have remained. Even at that figure, the office more than paid its way, and that is what made the reduction a curious circumstance. The receipts of the office in fees for August this year, $83.70; for September, $94,20; for October. $106.07; totalfor thequarter. $284, 60. The salary of the recorder is $66.66 per month or tor the three months referred to, $200. The ex cess of revenues over officer's sal ary is, $84.60. The humiliating phase of the sal ary Benton pays is seen from the fact the county that pays the next lowest salary is Washington, whose recorder receives $1,563, nearly twice as much as the Benton record er receives. In Baker county the cost last year of the recorder's office was $3,200, and in Umatilla. $3,- 400. In Columbia, a county of about the same importance as Ben ton, the office last year cost nearly $2,800. The reduction of the Ben ton salary took place with the be ginning of the term of the present incumbent, or at the very time when advances in pay were being made all along the lines. It came too at a time when advancing prices of necessities has made the cost of living very high. After the record er pays out the $200 or more that he cannot help spending in his campaign, and then after he makes the contributions to every passing church, school or other enterprise that calls for help, a mulcting to which all couDty officers are sub jected and payment of which they cannot escape, there is little left for a recorder's house rent an I sup plies for his family. The wonder is that any man can be induced to mn for the office, especially when he has to give bond, and assume charge of records, papers, and ar chives of the most important character. The Upper End Wins Game. The upper end of Corvallis won from the Job's Addition eleven at football Saturday. The score was 10 to o. Harris played fine ball. The field was wet and slippery. The halves were twenty and twenty five minutes. The first touchdown was mada at the end of the first half by Moore. The second was made just before time was called in the second half by King. The Upper Ends goal was never in danger. There was lots of punting m the game. The lineup was as follows: Upper Ends. Position. Lower Ends. Cady Secly Starr King Farmer Knox King Irvine, capt.

McFadden Adams Miller Always Keeps Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in His House. "Wo would not be without Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is kept on hand contin ually in our home," says W. W. Keamey, editorof the Independent, Lowry City, Mo. That is just what every family should do. When kept at hand ready for instant use, a cold may be checked at the outset and cured in much less time than after it has become iettled in the system. This remedy is also without a peer for croup in children, and will prevent the attack when given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, which can only be done when the remedy is kept at hand.
