filed in the local courts and provides that

go to his wife. Thompson left eight
children, but he made no separate pro
vision for them stating in his will that
he left everything to Mrs. Thompson
having full confidence that she would
provide wisely for the Children. Mrs.
Thompson and Ivey L. Borden, son-in-law
of Thompson are named as executors. It

confidence In Borden that none of his chil
dren enjoyed. .

SECURES A FACTORY
McMinnville Gets $60,000
" Milk-Condensing Plant. -
CASH PAID FOR THE SITE
Building to Begin at Once Southern
Pacific Orders Sidetrack Laid.
Flant Will Have Capacity
of 500 Cases Dally.
McMINNVILLE, Or.. March 19. (Spe
cial.) A modern milk condensery is
the latest industrial enterprise that has
been assured to this citv. The Willam
ette Valley Condensed Milk Company,
of which. J. Woods Smith, of Portland,
is president, and with which a number
of other Portland men are connected,
will erect a plant here, to cost upward
of $60,000. President Smith and Otto
Oleton were in town today and paid
the purchase price on the ground which
the plant will occupy. The site com
prises four whole blocks and some
fractional blocks. 40 lots In all. lying
adjacent' to the ra-ilroad track, in Oak
Park Addition, north of the Southern
Pacific station.
A committee of business men of this
city have been negotiating; for several
weeks with several owners of the
property and securing the deeds for the
purchasers. This required much cor
respondence, for many of the deeds
had to come from remote sections of
the country. General O. O. Howard,
retired, was an owner of McMinnville
realty and sent the deed to his lots
from his home in Vermont. Other
deeds had to come from parties In Cali
fornia and elsewhere. As soon as title
could be given, the Condenser people
closed the deal with a check, and active
arrangements will be made for the
installation of the plant, which will
have a capacity of 300 to 500 cases per
day, requiring 3000 to B000 pounds of
milk ordinarily, yet large enough to
be increased to 1000 cases, using 100,
000 pounds of milk when the develop
ment of the enterprise will warrant It.
The superintendent and general
freight agent of the Southern Pacific
came up in their private car yesterady
and with their assistants located the
sidetrack which they will put in before
work on the buildings can commence.
They instructed Roadmaster Mills, who
Is stationed here, to get the construc
tion of the sidetrack under "way at
once. The City Council at a special
meeting last evening made an order
vacating certain streets lying within
the purchase of the condenser people,
so that they will own their land in one
body. .
Plans for the buildings provide for
two structures, in dimension 130x50
and 175x50 feet. Machinery has been
purchased, and it Is the most modern.
An expert milkman from Mt. Vernon,
Wash., has been engaged 'to superin
tend the plant for a period of seven
years. It is hoped to have the con
denser in operation by the coming July,
but, of course, much depends on get
ting the buildings up without delay.
The erection of this plant will mean
a great deal for the farmers of this
section, as well as to the commercial
Importance of McMinnville. This city
being accessible by rail from every-di-rection,
will be in a position to give the
dairymen over a large area a good
market.
WHISKY OXLY TO KEALLY SICK
Lebanon Council Passes Ordinance
Curbing Prescription Trade.
LEBANON, Or., March 19. (Special.)
The City Council last night by an even
two-thirds vote passed what is known
as the whisky or local option ordinance,
over the veto of the Mayor. The
ordinance is ' very similar to those
Eugene and Albany recently put into
laws, only It goes jl little' further fur
ther and makes it an' offense for a physi
cian to make a false certificate as to
the health of any person applying for a
prescription for liquors. Jt has been in
all Linn County very easy for any one
to secure a prescription for liquors in
amounts up to a quart for what they
claimed was for medicinal purposes, and
It is said that as much as a gallon has
been" prescribed on a single prescription
for a person who, to all appearances,
was hale and hearty.
The City Marshall and police officers
are in sympathy with the enforcement
of the new law.

INFLAMMATORY
RHEUMATISM
Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and the Proof Is "
Right Here.
For yean evidence that inflammatory
rheumatism is curable by Dr. Williams'
Fink Pills has been published.
That hundreds of people have tried
the treatment with good results is shown
by the increasing n amber of cures re
ported. Every sufferer from this most painful
disease who does not try this treatment
is neglecting the most hopeful means of
recoTery as is shown by the statement
of Mr. E. O. Odell, of Morrison, El.
"I suffered with inflammatory rheu
matism for eighteen months before I
found a cure," he says. "I had always
been more or less troubled with my kid
neys and stomach. The rheumatio attack
oame on a few years ago when I was
living in New York state. All of my
muscles were inflamed and I was swollen
from head to foot. I couldn't walk any
distance at all without resting. The
pains were dull and aching and once in
a while were sharp and shooting. The
rheumatism began to affect my heart,
causing fainting spells.
"I was under a doctor's treatment for
about a year, bnt didn't derive any help
rrom it and in fact 1 thins: i grew worse.
I saw an account of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills in a newspaper and began to use
them at once. The relief was almost
immediate and I took the pills until
cured. I have never had the rheuma
tism in any form since. My wife has
been very much benefited by using the
pills as a tonic and recommends them as
highly as I do."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were origin
ally a prescription used in the doctor's
private practice and their benefit to man
kind has been increased many thousand
fold by their being placed on general
sale with the doctor's own directions for
use. They are entirely safe and contain
no opiates or other habit-forming drugs.
They build up the blood, strengthen Uie
nerves and have cured rheumatism in
almost every form, anaemia, troubles of
women and growing girls and many
forms of weakness.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, 50 cents per box ; six
boxes -for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. X.

DISCIPLINE TOO SEVERE
COURT-MARTIAL CONVICTS CAP?
TAIX DUDLEY.
Because He Was Excessively Cruel,
Officer Is to Be Confined in Boise
Barracks Four Months.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash..
March 19. (Special.) "To be confined
within the limits of his post for four
months and to be reprimanded in orders
by the reviewing authority" Is the ver
dict of court-martial In the case of
Captain Clark D. Dudley, Fourth Cav
alry, of Boise Barracks.
Captain Dudley was convicted of de
stroying post records and of administer
ing illegal punishment to three enlisted
men of his troop. For a minor infraction
of Army discipline. Captain Dudley is
said to have confined men in a dungeon
without food or water for 48 hours.
Lieutenant-Colonel Lea Febiger, Third
Infantry, was president of the court
martial which convened at Boise, and
Captain John J. Bradley was Judge ad
vocate. The charge was conduct preju
dicial to good order and military disci
pline in violation of the 63d article of
war.
In reviewing the case Commander of
the Department, Colonel Woodbury, made
the following comment:
In the case of Captain Clark D. Dudlev.
Fourteenth Cavalry, tile sentence Is approved
and win be duly executed. The reviewing
authority calls especial attention to tHe
fact that a court-marttal has found Captain
Dudley. Fourth Cavalry. sruilty of de

enlisted men of his troop. Just treatment
of enlisted men Is the foundation of a well
disciplined and contented army, and as soon
as an officer departs from such a rourse and
begins Inflicting punishment according to his
whims he precipitates a state of affairs, of
which the condition that has existed at
Boise Barracks, is a good Illustration. It Is
a matter of record at these headquarters
that desertions were excessive, and discon
tent prevalent at that post while Captain
Dudley was in command. .He has been
guilty of unjust and tyrannical treatment of

Roller and Is Killed.
SALEM, Or., March 19. Conrad Hagen,

before It could be stopped, but his body
was - not crushed.

two sisters, older than he. was an in
mate of the school. His sister Clara, aged

ers. The superintendent, several teachers
and a number of pupils were watching the
operation of the roller and the children
had been warned to keep away. The
Hagen boy, however, had not been pres
ent when the warning was given and
jumped upon the roller before any one
could prevent. He is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. C. P. Hagen, of Canby. Coroner

and decided that no inquest is necessary.
