the Oregon pacific trouble.
ANOTIIT5R MEETING OF THE EMPLOYES AT YA'
QUIXA THEY WILL NOT QUIT WOBK.
There is nothing concerning the
trouble on the Oregon Pacific railroad
over the non-payment of the employes.
They consulted legal advice yesterday,
but they have taken no action. They
will not it is said, quit work at pres
ent at least, but will endeavor to se
cure an order from the court for the
receiver to pay them the earnings of
the road, or a portion of it at least.
Later. A dispatch to the Herald
from Yaquina says that at a meeting
of the employes of the O. P. R. R.
held at Yaquina last night it was
unanimously decided to place their
cause in the hands of Hon. Geo. E.
Chamberlain, attorney general, who
will use all honorable means to induce
the company to pay the men. It was
also decided that no talk or thought of
a strike would be tolerated and that
the company's property would be re
spected as tneir own. At is under
stood that the matter will be pushed
along as speedily as possible. They
are an honest, straightforward set of
working people and believe that they
have not been justly dealt with and
they trust that they have the sympa
thy of all the people on the line of the
road and elsewhere, and that the busi
ness and influential men of the state
will do anything in their power to
help them get their just dues. They
will continue to work as usual for the
present at least. Albany Herald.
There seems to be some misappre
hension as to the position of the em
ployees of the Oregon Pacific Railroad
Company. As we understand it the
circuit court has appointed a receiver
who is operating the railroad. The
company is not in possession of the
road, but the court is. The receiver
has already recognized the need and
duty of providing for the pay rolls by
applying for permission to issua receiv
er s certificates and sell them to pro
vide funds, and the court at once made
such orders. The delay seems to
have occurred by the difficulty of sell
ing those certificates in New York,
during very stringent times in the
money market there. We hope for the
sake of all the employees that this de
lay may come speedily to an end.
Certainly the behavior of the men so
far has entitled them to the respect of
all.
Street Fight. Last Wednesday
evening Ned Simmons and Mark
Lewis got into a row on Main street,
which resulted in making things lively
in that vicinity for a time, and a com
plete knock out. Both parties in the
affray were arrested and on Thursday
they appeared before Police Judge
Porter on the charge of assault and
battery. The judge increased the
city's exchecquer to the tune of $25
by fining Simmons $15 and Lewis $10.
Hon. A. It. Shipley, who was ap
pointed treasurer by the Board of Re
gents of the Agricultural College, ar
rived in Corvallis with his family on
Monday last and assumed his duties.
His presence was veiy welcome to
many who had claims against the col
lege and which could not be paid un-
til his arrival.
GOOD
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is often called the
Good-Luck Baking Powder.
Owing- to the fact that good luck always attends the
use of Dr. Price's, it is not essential to use it the moment
it is mixed nor is it required to have the oven always just
so, as in the case with ammonia or alum powders. It is not
luck after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in
the preparation and combination of all the ingredients of
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. Competent chemists
are employed to test the strength and purity of each,
ingredient. Nothing is trusted to chance. Hence; it is
always uniform in its work.
House wives never fail to have "good luck" in mak
ing most delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes that
' remain moist and sweet. Only Baking Powder that con
tains the white of eggs. -
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques
. tioned.
"Clean Up." It is always in order
to "clean up" and "nail down the
loose planks in your side-walks." It
really ought to be done, but the gen
al impression that these gentle admoni
tions are printed merely to "fill up," is
not without some foundation in fact.
The local paper takes the responsi
bility of calling the attention of the
marshal, or the chief of police, through
its columns, to a dangerous place in a
certain locality on a certain street.
The officer argues that the public wel
fare could have been subserved quite
as well and at less trouble and expense
to the editor, by a private note giving
the necessary information; and the edi
tor's motive is brought into question.
The editor, however, has his own way
of doing some things and if he does
not do them as other people would it
is not more surprising than the fact
that many people do not farm as the
editor would. The subject of farming
brings up the thought of the fine crops
the present season. The crop of dog
fannel on the back streets ot Corvallis
is the heaviest known for years, and it
is by no means a pleasing sight. Now,
will any person question the motive of
the Gazette when it informs the peo
ple or the marshal that the weed is
now in good condition to be harvested?
Clean up, and brace up; nail down the
sidewalk planks and mow the dog-fen'
nel and the thistles, too.
Summer Showers. The heavy
clouds which canopied the Willamette
valley the first of the week cast a cor
responding gloom over the countenance
of the inhabitants. The harvest is in
full progress. Showers would retard
the cutting and threshing and a con
tinued rain would destroy a large part
of the enormous grain crop in which
the welfare, not only of the farmer, but
of the whole people is centered. Dur
ing the week an occasional shower has
interfered with the progress of har
vest, but as yet there has been no se
rious damage to grain in the shock.
The factor which is now more likely
than any other to prevent the farmer
from realizing his dream of the past
ten years is the weather. The quan
tity and quality of the grain is not a
question, a fair price seems to be as
sured, and harvest weather heretofore
has been more reliable than either of
the other factors. The inference is
that we shall all be happy when the
leaves begin to turn.
Patent medicine advertisers and
others frequently stipulate that their
advertisements appear next to or fol
lowing "pure" reading matter. They
have even been known to object to
having their advertisements appear
next to death notices on the ground
that their announcement did not fol
low "live" reading matter. But the
Centaur Co., an extensive patron of
the newspapers, will certainly not re
monstrate with an Albany paper,
which, under the birth notices ran the
following: "Baby cried, mother
sighed, doctor prescribed castoria."
There are a number of tough char
acters who have been loafing around
the streets of late without any visible
means of support and refuse to work.
They should be arrested as vags or
given notice to leave town. Corvallis
has no use for such a class of citizens.
