OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Corvallis, Dec 16, I89I.
Ed. Gazette: Preliminary steps
have been taken this week for the re
organization or perfection of the fire
department Many exempt firemen
are offering their services in behalf of
the city's interests in this matter, while
some new members are backward and
reluctant. The safety and security of
n,y property against fires is a ques
tion of public importance and demands
the attention of the business fabric of
the community. We are not enjoying
the benefits of a satisfactory fire ser
vice at this time. City property is in
constant danger, and minor accidents
could easily lead to disastrous conse
quences. In the effort to perfect or
ganization the city council, as a pro
gressive body, should lend hearty co
operation. Complaint has often arisen
from prominent members of the fire
department that its petitions to the
council for many necessary utilities to
the interests of the organization have
not received just or liberal recognition
at the hands of the city legislators,
and the requirements of the depart
ment have thus been grossly disre
garded. Of course, we all know that
this disregard to further public inter
ests is not prompted by any improper
motives on the part of the city fathers,
but it does not erase the importance of
the inauguration and maintenance of a
first-class fire department, with all the
requirements necessary to its opera
tions, when called into service.
Respectfully, Citizen.

Every good thing has its imitators, every genuine article
its counterfeits. The Ammonia and Alum Baking Powders
sold over the counters are no more like Dr. Price's Cream
Baking Powder, than the paste is like the real diamond, or a
counterfeit is like one of the old master's genuine paintings.
When greedy and merciless manufacturers claim their
adulterated and harmful baking powders are as good as Dr.
Price's, they know they are not telling the truth. Thesa
people know they are destroying the stomachs and the com
plexion of the consumers, and there are many grocers recom
mending such powders over their counters knowing same
to be injurious and worthless simply to make a large profit
. Dr. Price, a concientious physician, has spent a lifetime
in perfecting and popularizing his Cream Baking Powder,
the only Pure Cream Tartar Powder now to be obtained.
Multitudes of imitators all over the land have sprung up,
not to imitate the purity of Price's Cream Baking Powder,
-but to see how cheap they could make their counterfeits and
hoodwink the public
Some use Ammonia and others Alum, but all these shams
cry in chorus, "Buy this, its just as good as Dr. Price's and
much cheaper.
Price's Cream Baking Powder is the standard for purity
and perfection the world over, and is beyond comparison.
