S. L. Kline ienirned last Friday
from San Francisco, where he has been
making his serai annual purchases, pre
flaratorv to doing a bigger business
ehis summer than ever before.
The annual firemen's election was
held last Saturday. There seemed to
he but little interest taken in the
voting and there was but one ticket in
the field. B. R. Job was elected
nnie engineer and T. M- Porter- as
sisUmt.
Wesley L. Davisy editor of the New
port Times was m Corvallis for a few
davs this week, in the interest of his
Tiaiter. . Mr. Davis gets out a good
lper considering the field he has to
work in, and it merits the liberal sup
port of the people of the bay.
Our friend Jim Hayes is having
erected on his property on Adams
street, near the S. P. railroad, a neat
oottage. " The contract has been
awarded to A. b. Peterson, who in
tends that the house shall be a credit
to all concerned, the cost amounting to
between $ 1500 and 1800. .
H. E. Harris, a former resident of
Corvallis, but who for the past year
has been living in" Portland, stopped
over here a conple of days this week
while on his way to the bay, to shake
hands with Ids old friends. He says
that he likes Corvallis and, if circum
stances uermitted. he would' like to
return.
The little R. C Young, while on
Tier wav down the river Sunday, met
with quite a serious accident. Near
Peoria the current is quite swift
and the boat was caught by it in such
a manner that she was swung around,
striking the stump of a tree on the
bank, and breaking every paddle in
her wheel. She was tied up for re
pairs which will soon be made, after
which she will resume her service on
the upper river,
George Waggoner mtcnus to go
into the business of raising Mongolian
nheasauts on an extensive scale. He
has prepared a large enclosure, which
lie has coyered with woven fencing,
into which he has introduced two
pairs of birds. He intends to secure
all the eggs possible and raise pheas
ants for market. In the eastern
markets these birds will command
fancy prices and if our Inend is suc-f
cessful in his venture there is no doubt
but that he has a good source of reve
nne assured.
., I
Sacred Concert. The Congrega.
tional church was crowded at an early
hour and the prayer room was thrown
ooen to accommodate tnosc arriving
last ft was soon filled and a few
went' away, unable to gain admission.
The programme was carried out as
Sublished except that Mrs. W. C.
antner Bang a solo instead of the
bass solo by Prof. - Berchtold. All the
numbers were well rendered and were
listened to with close attention by the
whole audience. The solos by Misses.
Kitchens and Spencer and Mrs. Kant
ner were each gems in their way.
Each lady has the merit of singing
very distinctly so that those in the
farther part of the house could easily
follow the words of the songs. The
ooal duet by Messrs. Korthaner and
Bell deserves the same mention. The
violin duet by Messrs. Pearso and
Hodson and the violin solo of Mr.
Hodson were brilliantly "rendered and
were only too short The choir sing
ina was good, considering the short
time used in preparation. Mr. Kant
net's remarks wete well chosen and
brief. He has the faculty which is
not as common "as it is desirable, of
knowing when he has said enough.
It is. proposed to give another even
ing of music at an early date.
Voting Apparatus. A number of
eastern firms appear to be reaping a
rich harvest in supplying some of the
western cities with the apparatus for
carrying on elections under the Austra
Kau ballot -system. Oregon City fur
nishes a good example of the result
of patronizing outside institutions be-

hoaie field. In the case cited an ex
pert mechanic declares that the "steel"
booths are composed ot the thinnest
shest iron,, and the" '-steel" ballot
boxes are nothing but tin, and the en
tire outfit, which cost $904, could have
been reproduced in Oregon City for
S500. In Benton county a wiser
course has been pursued and' the con
tract has been awarded to A. F. Peter
son to supply the county with twenty-
three booths, at $1.60 each, and sixty-
nine annexes, at $1.32 each, making
A total of . ninety-two booths for
128.23. The booths are five feet
.high, thirty inches wide and twenty
eight feet deep, with a shelf twelve
-inches wide. Each of the Corvallis
precincts will require one booth and
three annexes, equal to four - booths.
They are constructed of wood and can
be taken to pieces and stored in a
small compass when not in use. If
these booths had been procured from
Portland parties they would have been
made of wood and cost $3.65 each
and St Louis parties would have
.charged $5.00i whereas the ones now
feeing constructed cost much, less and
ate just as. gpod-
tiie priioaru will be hAi in
the several precincts at 1 o'clock p. in., nnd
for the information of our readers we give

Probable Drowning: Last Tuesday,
about noou, Isaac .Stone,,of Oakville, left
his home which is known as the Dr. Leonard
place, in a boat for a hunting trip up East
river, going without any companion. lie
did not return when expected, so at a late
hour Tuesday evening a party of about
twenty men wa made np and search insti
tuted, but no trace was discovered until
Wednesday, when the boat and cne oar
were found floating in the river abont a
mile from this city, near Adam Itadir s
place, but no indication of the whereabouts
of the mau or his gun.' A short distance
from where the boat was found some of the
party espied the hat of the missing man.
On the rear thwart of the boat footprints
were found as though some person had stood
on it, and from these circumstances it is
thought that Stone must have risen to his
feet to shoot at something and that he was
knocked over by the recoil of the gun, or
that perhaps the gun burst, disabling him in
such a manner that he was unable to save
himself after falling into the water, as he is
known to have been an expert : swimmer.
Parties are now engaged in dragging the
river for the body, but have not yet dis
covered any traces except the boat and the
hat. Mr. Stone was a very popular man iu
his community, where he has resided about
five years. Ue was thirty years of age and
married. .
Cannery Meeting. A meeting of the.
stockholders of tho Eugene Canning and
Packing Company was held at the board of
trade rooms Wednesday evening and the
only business transacted was to instruct the
secretary to. call another meeting for March
21st, when the intention is to instruct the
directors to sell the cannery, plant and ef
fects to satisfy the demands of the creditors.
This is deemed the best way to settle . the
matter. The effort to sell preferred stock
did not meet with success, as it was looked
upon as a loan without sufficient security.
The committee ' succeeded in getting sub
scription to the amount of a little over three
thousand dollars. " Many still think that
the plant will bo kept -in the city and oper
ated by some one. Some think a new com
pany can now be organized to buy the plant
and operate the cannery. : With proper
management it seems as though a" cannery
should be made to pay well here. If it
should not pay big dividends to . the
stockholders it would be the means of scat
tering a vast amount of money among pro-
'-rducers and laborers. Eugene , Register.
Here is a chance for the Corvallis Cannery
Company to buy a plant cheap. -
Farmers' Institute. A farmers'.
Institute will be held in Molalla grange
hall, Clackamas county, Oregon, April
8 and 9,: 182. This is the closing
institute of the present series under
the direction of the Oregon agricul
tural college, and will be held ' under
the auspices, locally, of the Molalla
grange. J. D. Letcher returned from
Clackamas county the 6rst of the week
having arranged all the details for the
institute. Those who will take . part
iu the programme from the agri
cultural - college are : Prof. J. D.
Letcher, subject, "Aims and objects
of the state agricultural college;" Piof.
M. Craig, "Weedy plants of Oregon ;
Prof. Geo. Coote. "Renovation of old
orchards"; Prof. ,, J. D. Letcher, "Clos
ing remarks on education." , ,
Carriage Factory Notes. Every
thing is in a state ot activity at the
carriage factory.' ' Work was begun
with a force of twenty-five men. which
is being increased as lapiJly as places
are found for new men.- Some of the
head workmen for the trimming department-have
arrived and thr.t portion of
the factory will soon be in full opera
tion. Work is now Ieuig pushed on an
order of two hundred buggies, two
hundred and fifty carts and one hun
dred and fifty light hacks. There are
now in the paint shops fifty carts which
are nearly finished. The principal
want at present is wheel . stock,, which
is being brought from the east.
The Niagara mill started this -week
for the season's run and our friend M.
II. Kriebel has gone there - to reside

Coryallm Ceacskr Co. It will be re
membered that some mouths ajro a icht-me
was put uu foot to equip imd operate iu tLis
city a cracker factory but the plan fell
through in consequence of the withdrawal
of August Schloeinn, the originator, and
seemed to have been dropped altogether.
The remainder of the members hare been
quietly working, however, and Mr. John
Long has stepped in and will occupy Schloe
man's place. Last Tuesday articles were
filed with the secretary of state incorpor
ating the Corvallis Cracker Co., with a
aStal stock of $20,000. Tho original plan
was to incorporate with $10,000, but the
new company has doubled the amount.
The incorporators of tho new - company are
Levi Oren, B. E. H viand and John Long.
Considerable of the stock has been already
subscribed and iu a few days the stock
books will be opened to the public, when
our citizens should show their good will
toward the enterprise. It is expected to
have the plant ready for operation in about
three months.
The Salem Proukamms. Captain J. T.
Apperson, president of the state board of
agriculture, has called a meeting of that
body to meet at Salem the 25th. fie has
received the report of the North Pacific
Trotting Horse Breeders' Association com
mittee, which commmittee was appointed
to prepare an address, complaining of the
Salem programme as unsatisfactory to the
breeders. Captain Apperson will not make
the address public until he - has -duly laid it
before the board. ; This body will then be
called on to consider what changes, if any,
it will make in its programme. The posi
tion of. the breeders' association is well un
derstood. It claims that .the breeding in
dustry demands parses for slow classes and
substantial added money for colt stakes,
rather than large purses for the fast classes.
If the managers of the state fair would de
vote more attention ami money to tho ex
hibit of the vast- resources of our great state
and a little less attention to horaeracing,
the fair would not only be more successful,
but would be of much greater benefit to
the entire state. '
The manager of "Oregon on Wheels" in
his weekly report to the secretary of the
board of immigration says that up to March
8th, the car had traveled 6,590 miles on
twenty-four railroads, through fifteen states,
and had 155,750 viritors.' When the report
was written the car was iu Zanesville, O.
The report says that the Eastern people are
anxious to secure all kinds of reading matter
concerning the state and his supply is about
exhausted, and asks for a fresh supply.
Daring the week the car had been exhibited
at Hamilton, Dayton,' Springfield, Colum
bus, Zanesville, and all intermediate
stations, where thousands of visitors were
received. The manager was then arranging
an eastern schedule.

stabbing C. L. Thompson in a saloon several

jury late in the afternoon and a verdict of
guilty as charged was returned. Gird is
well known here, having spent the greater
portion of his early life in Benton county.

Circuit court for Linn county convened in
Albany Monday. The docket is the longest
ever.-up for hearing at one term of court in
thatCounty. It contains 171 cases, though
many of the cases' are small ones, which
should have been heard in the justices1
courts. The state of Oregon vs. Frank
Ingram, for murder, is the most important
case to be heard at this term. The twenty
five cases, against the Farmers' & Merchants'
Insurance Co.,. of this city, will probably be
decided at this term of court. In addition
to these there are sixteen divorce cases

Prof. K. L. Washburn, of ' the Oregon

the Curat Northwest to the fact that recent
careful examination proves that birds prey
more largely upon beneficial insects than
upon those which are injurious. It will be
a good deal of a shock to bird-loving peopl
to know' that one of the strongest argu
ments for protecting birds is about to loose
its force, -.rrot. Washburn ctoes not exactly

not necessarily beneficial."

PROTECT OUR BREAD.
The machinery of the law has not -been put to work
too speedily against the fraudulent use of ammonia and
alum in Baking Powders. Both health and the pocket of
the people are demanding protection. ' The legislatures of
New York, Illinois and Minnesota have taken this matter
of adulteration up, and especially that of Baking Powders.
It will be in the interest of. public health when their sale
is made a misdemeanor in every . State in the UNION, and
the penalties of the law are rigidly enforced. There is no
article of human food more wickedly adulterated than that
of Baking Powder. "
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the only pure
cream of tartar powder having a general sale that is free
from ammonia, alum or taint, of any kind of impurity. It
makes the sweetest and lightest bread, biscuit and cake,
that are perfectly digestible whether hot" or cold. It costs
more to manufacture Dr. Price's than any other baking
powder. It is superior" to every otier known and the
. standard for forty years- " '
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re-
4-. 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. - - .
