son, with her eight-months-old babe
and nine-year-old boy, set out on foot
for the settlements to obtain provisions
for the support of the family, laaving
three of the children at home to care
for the father. Mrs. Hanson was un
dertaking a perilous journey of fifty
miles distance, over rugged mountains
and through dark and dismal forests.
in which wild -and ferocious beasts
roamed, but she braved the pack-trail
to the Alsea with unparalleled' perse

to surrender to the sad circumstances
which confronted her,' when two trav

over the mountain to a place of safety,
and she was thus enabled to proceed
on her journey. Reaching Philomath,
she took the train for "Corvallis with
her two childten, after enduring a hard
week's walk. Arriving at this ci'y in
a hopeless, ragged condition, Judge
Hufford, considering her pitiful appear-

she and her children were provided

This dating trip indicates that starva
tion was staring the family in the face,
and that something had to be done
hastily for their relief. Mrs. Hanson
is certainly a woman of undaunted
courage and pluck, but poverty, it is
true, is a wonderful energizing force.
She thinks they can make a living on
their place after this winter, but should
sickness and death overtake them in
their solitary haunts, very disastrous
consequences may follow. The ladies
who head the subscription for the re
lief of this unfortunate family deserve
a good word, and they should be en
couraged in their philanthropic work.
"UNCLE BOB'S" FUNERAL.
- About Sugar Beets. A bulletin
is in press at the agricultural college
covering the result of two years' tests
and experiments of the Biigar beet as
raised in all parts of the state and giv
ing tables to show the amount raised
per acre and the amount of sorghum
obtained from the beets. This bulle
tin will be a fair representation of all
the information that the college could
obtain upon this subject. The result
of these experiments places Benton
county and southern Oregon at the
.head of the list in this industry, and
proves - conclusively that the soil of
Oregon is naturally adapted to the cul
tivation of the ai tide at a good profit.
ivery larmer should be m possession
of one of these bulletins, from which
he could glean much valuable informa
tion that some day may prove an ad
vantage to him. Tins is a favorable
beginning for a highly profitable 'in--dustry
in our state, and it wilt pay the
farmers to give the subject Kberal consideration.
"Uncle Bob" Davidson's remains
were laid to rest in Crystal Lake
cemetery last Monday afternoon.
Judge John Burnett, in the presence
of a solitary group, made solemn and
appropriate remarks, and among other
things, spoke of "Uncle Bob's" charit
able traits of character. Oftentimes
this simple old man went out and ad
ministered to the wants of the needy.
Here is a family that had not been at
the table for many a day, but they are
assembled now, for "Uncle Bob" has
been there.' Little is known of his life
beyond his career in Corvallis, but en
ough has been seen of him to convince
us that he was generous, whole hearted
and kind. He has passed from human
gaze, and so let us look upon and
cherish the better qualities of his life,
"and pass his imperfections by." That
is all. "Uncle Bob," a while before
his death, affirmed that he possessed a
great fortune in the form of a rich
gold mine, known as the "Silver Char
iot Mine," located at Silver City, Idaho:
Besides this, he had a. substantial
guarantee of money due him from the
proceeds of a toll-road, which in early
times led the way from Boise to Silver
City. The aggregate value of the two
he placed at near fifty thousand dollars.
an pi wnicn ne verbally, willed, in the
presence of two witnesses, to the child
ren of Mr. George Bigham, of this city.
He said that the papers necessary - to
the ownership of the property were in
safe bands at Silver City, and told Mr.
Bigham to pay off the debts recently
incurred by his last sickness, and for
him (Mr. Bigham) to keep what re
mained. No papers have yet' been
found among his letters and personal
effects to indicate the authenticity of
uncle Uou's story, but it is a fact
that there is such a mine at Silver City
as the "Siiver' CharioL" In conclu-
sion, we will leave - the story for our
readers to ponder over, and will await
further devlopments.
can be kept trom floating into it. We hap
pened around in an out of the way place
a few days ago and found a lot of dark
complectioned colors, apparently discarded.
We came to the conclusion that the horizon
would be frescoed with brighter colors in
in tho future, for this section, and that the
the clouds will be dispelled soon. Wo
don't realize 4hat we are entering a new era
of prosperity and that the passage through
the Coast Range of moantaius affords com
munication with the outside world, when
we cau remember that it once cost ten dol
lars per ton to get the necessaries of life
brought to us. Benton county has a har
bor far above the average in any country,
and a tull-nedged railroad terminating
within live miles of the Pacific ocean, with
a steamship line to San Francisco. We
wonld advise the community to let the
good work go on.
The steam schooner Maggie Ross, which
was badly disabled at sea December 4th,
sailed for San Francisco Tuesday in com-
manu or japz. J. j. tv mant, her repairs
having been completed. The Maggie Ross
w picked np off Siuslaw by the Willam

crew having taken to boats. The Willam

Firemen's Fund Insurance company, which
had all risks, made all repairs to the vessel.

Below we present the programme of the farmers'
institute which is to be held under the auspices of
Corvallis Grange, No. 242, in the court house, Cor

There should be:a good attendance, not only by
the farmers of Benton county, but by the citizens
of Corvallis, who can do much toward encouraging
this most useful work, and making Benton the ban
ner county of Oregon.

to sign the said petition. Those remonstrat
ing filsd a number of affidavits to sustain

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. These
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 countersknowing same
to be injurious and worthless simply to make a large profit.
Dr.. Price, a concientious physician,1 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. 's 1
Some use Ammonia and others Alum, but all thL.&hams ,
cry in chorus, "Buy thjs,- its just as good as Dr. Price's an4
much cheaper. -
