..3te Corvallis Times Official Connty Paper. CORVALLIS, OREGON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1907 WHEAT PRICES RAISING. Both WAS NOT MENINGITIS. of Ptomaine Poisoning Cause Arthur Belknap' Death The Funeral. Statement of Portland physician: 'l am thoroughly familiar with, all the details attending the case of Ar thur Belknap, who died . yesterday morning. I was called to see him Monday morning at 9 o'clock and found neither spinal nor brain dis turbances, . He complained of un easiness in the intestinal tract, had a temperature of 103, and his fever ish condition presaged a case of ptomaine poisoning. I saw the pa tient again at 6 P. M. and learned that during the afternoon he had several vomiting spells, and his condition otherwise only strength ened my first diagnosis of ptomaine poisoning. There was not even a single indication of the usual symp toms of meningitis. I acqnainted his friend3, who were present, with the fact that the case was a very serious one, and requested them to notify me by tel ephone, a few hours later as to how he was progressing. About 9 o' clock some one phoned me and said that his family physician had re turned and I readily consented to have him take charge of the case. The very next morning I learned that the patient had died and that the cause of his death. had been giv en as spinal meningitis. A great deal has been printed of late regarding this malady and ma ny of our citizens have been need lessly alarmed. As in the case at hand, there is hardly any excuse and certainly no cause . for the at tending physician to aggravate an already overwrought public senti ment,".' ; ;.,r The foregoing statement appear ed in yesterday s Oregonian over the signature of A. Tilzer, M. D., and is self explanatory. The mala dy has been accepted all along as spinal meningitis, and because of the contagious character of the dis ease, the funeral arrangements were conducted accordingly. The re mains were in a sealed casket, which was not opened after leaving Port land. Even the lid of the outer box was not removed. Telegraph ic inquiry was made to the Portland authorities if it could be removed at the grave, but permission was de nied. The boiy was not present at the funeral which occurred in the First Methodist church at 10: 30 yesterday. The remains arrived from Portland .Wednesday noon, and the funeral party was met at the station by the cadet regiment and band and escorted to the late home. The college flag was at half mast dnrug the ceremony and so remained until after the funeral in honor of its graduate dead. At the funeral, a large concourse of friends attested the high esteem in which the young man was held. The service was conducted by Rev. Feese and was very impressive. The floral offerings were among the finest.evex lsees.,3t!,qqalji funeral. Twelve members of his 'graduating 9jas3 were prsen,t and 1;heir ofEeripg was a handsome floral piece. ,Tbe "Atnicitia society of whiqh he was a leading member during his student ship in college sent a delegation and their floral offering was conspicuous by its beauty. Another was l?y the Sorosis society, the sister, society of the Amicitias," and a very hand some embfem came .from, his, late co-workers in the. city... engineers corps in ; Portland ,wUh, whom, he was popular. " Other' piece? were by the Epworth League, the Feronian Literary society at the college, hs Sunday school class at the Metho dist cburch, the pupils in his sis ter's room at the public schools, and offerings from scores of friends. The cards and ribbons from the floral offerings when removed at the grave aggregated several bushels. The interment was in. v Crystal Lake cemetery" beside the grave of me iainer,, . jvi. iseiKnap, wno died Jtbo,ut j J years ago..The.sur viving members of the family' are the widoweid m'othe'r, a' sister and a brother. In the passing? of this widow s son, but now arrived, at the threshold of --manhood, and possessed of those graces andfvif; tues of mind to make his living worth while, to the home in" which e.asVaol'l'pornt gj factor,,,.there is manifestation of how mysterious and how ununderstandable are the ways of death. f ; ; - 5 There Is a Big Export Demand for Wheat and Flour. ! Wheat is 63 and 65 in the local market. The higher figure is for grain delivered at the - mills from the wagon. The advance is due to a big demand ; for . export..,. ...The price in Portland has soared to 7 3 for Valley, and 85 for Western Or egon. , There's a good prospect of even better figures- The crop is shortened in California, and in ma ny other states dispatches in the metropolitan papers relate that but three per cent of the usual acreage is sown in JNorth Uafcota and u was snowing there Wednesday. Farmers were ploughing in the snow with only a chance that they could get their fields seeded in time to raise a crop. The like in that state has never been known before. Esti mates are, that the crop of the coun try will be the lightest .. in . years. Along with it is an unprecedented demand for flour, for export to the Oiient. The Corvallis mills is ov erwhelmed with export orders and is running night and day, "but even under these strenuous operations is unable to keep up with orders. The price for shipment abroad is much better than for " the home trade. What change might come to . alter the situation and usher in lower prices again nobody knows, but at the present time the prospects for good wheat prices this season are flattering beyond the usual.

I Grandma Feese left yesterday linger or for a visit at Olympla, Washington .' A band hps been engaged for the All Benton-School-fair., ,,The committee is to take up in a few days the matter of cheap railroad rates for the event. ; ' ' Charles Armstrong of Beaver Creek and Miss Daisy Cochran of Ripley, Ohio were married at .the Methodist parsonage Wednesday, Rev. Feesee officiating. One of the most cowardly and dastardly attempts of incendiarism was discovered as Monroe Wednes day by Ed. I,ooney, who is with A. Wilhelm & Sons. ' The fiend had planned well to burn the entire business property of the firm hav ing saturated grain bags with oil and placed them in the center of a building formerly, used as drug store, but now occupied for ware bouse purposee. That a conflag ration was avoided is a miracle, for the fire burned fe-eral holes thr ough the floor. The owners have strong suspicion as to the perpet retor's indentity, and are now hav ing the matter investigated, with great hopes of bringing the guilty parties to justice.' at of The accounts are that Benton county is to , be , con fronted with a demage suit unless a bill of damages is paid to a farmer living in the north end of the county. The occasion is the collapse of a bridge over Thornton Lake, two miles west of Albany, which went down Saturday , precip itating .a farmer, his;. wagon, team and a load of wood into the bottom of the lake. . Tbe farmer is Marion Bailey, who resides about- three miles from Wells in the direction of Albany. With his nephew he was ea route to Albany with a load of wood. As the outfit passed over the bridge it collapsed completely, dropping: everything, wagon, driv-' er, wood and horses into a heap a distance of a dozen feet below. For tunately there wasbut two feetofwa terat the bottom which is supposed to have mitigated the effects of the collapse . As it was, one of the horses was billed, and Mr. Bailey sliehtlv injured. The bridge "was 32 feet long and is described by. a farmer who uses it ' occasionally as in very bad condition. It is said that a resident of the neighborhood who passed over it a few days ago, predicted that the county would yet have a damage bill to pay if repairs were not speedily made. Mr. Bail ey, who figured in the accident, has made tie statement that he 4will bring.suit if the Benton county court doesn't settle. Mr. "Bailey has resided in the neighborhood for the past six years, having come to Benton from Eastern Washington. WILL HAVE LIVESTOCK SHOW.

DESCRIPTION I . Made m all sizes; It is lively and easy nd;np, rerv durable snd lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several lavers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming alt suction. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making; a special factorvorice to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. AH orders shipped; same day letter is received. We ship C'.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you h&ve examined and found then strictly a? reoresented.
