"The use of 'Castoria' is so universal and
Its merits so well known that it seems a work
of supererogation to endorse it. Few are the

. Hog Hcnt. A party purchased a thous
and dollars' worth of hogs from the Siletz
Indians, and undertook to drive the band to
Toledo for shipment to" the valley, and by
unceasing energy and vigilance did get a
portion of them here, and placed them in an
enclosure, hut a large majority took to the
w coda. This was eariy on Tuesday."" and
men and teams wera sent out at once to
capture and bring the escapes back. Tues
day night the hogs left in the enclosure
here, having rested from their long walk,
became lonesome, and possibly hungry and
dry, broke out of the enclosure, and took
to the woods also. The bunt is still pro
gressing, and nt without results, for now
and then a w.igou loaded with hogs cornea
rolling in, and those that don't escape while
being taken from the wagons are once more
landed in Hie enclosure. The weather is
pleasant, however, hud may coutinne so for
Wjeks, and the bog bunt can be pursued in
definitely with favorable resulip, bo to speak,
unless, unfortunately, Bruin should catch on
to the rich bonanza afforded him, Toledo

ITCHING AND BURNING
Sores All Over Her Body. Suffering
Endless. Doctor Useless. Cured
in 4 Weeks by Cutlcura.
Tonr most valuable Cuticuka Remedies bave
done my little girl so much good that I feel like
saying this for the benefit of those who are troubled
with sun diseases, cine was troumea witn itcning.
nurniDg sores, wnen 1
took her to the doctor
the first time, he called it
the Italian itch, nnd said
he would cure her in two
weeks. When the two
weeks were up. he called
it eczema, and m that
time she was worse than
before. He doctored her
for three months, and she
was so bad that we did
not know what to do.
He did not do her any
good. I saw the adver
tisement of Cuticoua
Re MEDrss in the paper, and I Baid to my wife, " I am
going to try them." Mind what I say, she was so
thick with sores that we had to soak her clothes to
take them off. Itch! there was no end to it. She
had it all over her body, back, legs, arms, in be
tween her fineers. She did not bave it on her head.
But after taking your CjJTiccnA Remedies for two
weeks the itch stopped, and in four weeks the eores
were all gone. I enclose her portrait. I am moro
than pleased with your Coticuba Remedies, as
they speedily cured my daughter, and if anybody
asks me about your remedies, I will uphold them
wherever I go. CHARLES M. GROKEL.

; THE TEMPTATION
To go out of doors in rough weather is
not strong, but we are, many of us, com
pelled to face rough weajbef frequently.
Diseases which arise from a dbill are pecu
liar to no season of theyp r. . This is true,
therefore there should be 'in the closet of
every household what? :Not an unmedi
cated stimulant, .absolutely devoid of any
thing but an excitive action, but a tonic
I combining, in the effective- fprmjof an invig.
orant and an alterative, the. quality of de.
fence against changes of weather. Hostet-
ter's Stomach Bitters has three or four pro
perties that no other article of its kind pos
sesses. Not ouly does it relieve the com
plaints which it eventually cures, it fortifies
the system against the bad effects of changes
of temperature, fatally and too often shown
in the deadly form of "Ja grippe;" it pro
duces a radical change in the weakened con
dition of a system peculiarly liable to be at'
tacked by it, and it tends to provide against
the danger resulting from an. impoverished
condition of the blood and a disordered
state of the liver or bowels.
Oregon State Fair. The state fair for
1892 commences on the 12th day of Septem
ber, and lasts one week. The state board
of agriculture has made, and is now mak
ing many changes and improvements which
add greatly to the beauty of the grounds
and to the comfort and convenience of the
exhibitors, patrons and visitois. There are
two electric street railway lines running
from Salem to the fair grounds, thus afford
ing pleasant and rapid transit to and from
the grounds to the city. The exhibits'in all
departments promise to be large, being stim
ulated, by the offer of liberal premiums.
The grounds and pavilion .will be lighted
by electricity, and the pavilion will be
open four nights during the week. Good
music will be furnished for the pavilion con
certs each evening, and on the grounds dur
ing the day. Entries for" premiums will
close at 3 p. m. the first day of the fair, and
all those who can make their entries on
Friday and Saturday before will avoid the
crowd. All exhibits must be in place by 10
l. m. of the first day of tha fair.
Send to G. W. Watt, association secre
tary, at Salem for a premium list.'

, IT SAVES THE CHILDREN,
Mr. C. H. Shavten, Wellsville, Kan.,
says: "It is with pleasure that I speak of
the good Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy has done my family dur
ing the last fourteen years. In the most
obstinate cases of summer complaint and
diarrhoea among my children, it acted as a
charm, making it never necessary to call in
a physician, I can truthfully say that in
my judgment, based on years ot experience,
there is not a medicine in the market that
is its equal, For gale by T, Graham, drug-

are, as they have let the contract for im

plished, Corvallis will loom up in way of ex

A MATTER OF COMMENT.
The Times in its last issue strikes the
nail on the hoad in the following suggestive
article:
"The Corvallis merchants have a good
commercial standing perhaps as good as
any town in Oregon. They aro, in the
main, reliable, straight-forward business
men, enjoying a prosperous trade without
any apparent effort. They are a good na
tured, whole-souled lot of individuals, con
tent with their share of patronage and at
peace with the whole world. They take
the world easy and seem to drift with the
tide. But while they are resting on their
oars, much of the patronage that rightfully
belongs to them, -slips through their fingers.
Of eourse, we have a few-awake merchants
who have the ambition to hang their banners
to the breeze, but take the town as an en
tirety, and compare it with other towns in
Oregon and our merchants are unquestion
ably sleeping on their opportunities.
Usually, men who want to do business with
their fellow men make such announcement
to the world if they have anything for sale
they usually want people to know it. The
newspaper is the only legitimate channel
for advertising it is the main artery in a
community that conveys information from
one to another it is the yery pulse of the
public. Now just look over the advertising
colums of the newspapers iu Corvallis and
see what merchants there are who are bid
ding for your patronage. Ju it look, for
fun. There are not four columns of home
advertising in "each paper. The Albany
papers have about 20 columns each the
year around; the Eugene papers about 22
columns; the Roseburg papers, 25; Salem, 22
Independence, 16. Of course the publish
ers here are not begging your patronage
for they are a trifle above paupers but we
simply make the comparison to prove the
assertion that our merchants are an easy
going cla33 of individuals, without the am
bition to write an advertisement f ir their
home papers and make an effort to secure
more patronage."
The lack of interest shown by a large per
centage of our business houses, in not push
ing the sale of their goods, through the
medium of the legitimate newspaper adver
tising in their home papers, has frequently
been the source of much comment by our
exchanges as well as many strangers, recent
arrivals, who have come here for the pur
pose of locating, from cities where business
competition is pushfd for cl tee is in it,
and advertising is made the leading spirit
of trade.
A River and Boat Item Steam was
raised in the boiler of the Oregon- "Pacific
steamer Three Sisters Monday afternoon for
the purpose of warming her np preparatory
to taking the craft to Portland this morn
iug, where she will be placed on the ways
for a short time to have her hull overhauled.
Capt. Geo. Raabe and crew cams np yester
day from the metropolis for the purpose of
taking her down. Al. McCullv will be the
engineer. After the repairs are made this
steamer will run on the upper Willam
ette, com'.ng up as far as Fairfield after
freight and wheat. She draws eighteen
inches aft when empty and, no doubt, wiil
scrape several bars before going many miles
below Salem. When the last steamer trip
was made to this city about August 1st, the
water in the river stood fix inches above
low mark at this place an 1 yesterday the
register ' indicated only two and a half
inches. 'Uncle" Williamson, Oregonian
Paciiio carpenter, is making repairs on the
Hoag, tied up here, also. She will not leave
Salem until the high water comes with the
fall rains. Stateman.
Marine Band Excursion. The excur
sion to the bay tomorrow evening by the
Marine band will probibly be the last one
of the season, and it will also be one of the
best. The tickets have been placed at the
low price of 2.00 for the round trip. The
baud will accompany the excursion and on
Sunday will give an open-air concert at
Newport. A most excellent programme
has been prepared, and its rendition will
certainly be worth hearing. By all means
go and do yourself good by getting a breath
of sea air and assisting the band at the same
time.
J, P. Irvine and wife, of McMinnville,
formerly residents ot this city, passed
through here Wednesday returning home
from a visit to Newport. ' In conversation
with him, the points of the coming
special election were mentioned and
Mr. Irviue's opiuion asked. He seemed to
look at the proposition unfavorably, and
said that in McMinnville, where the light
and water plants are owned and operated
by the city, the tax rate had been increased
fully five mills since the starting of the
works. 1
There1 z danger
In a cough more
than ever when
your blood is
''bad." It makes
things easy for
Consumption. But
there's a cure for
in Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical
Discovery. A pos
itive cure not only for Weak Lungs, Spit
ting of Blood, Bronchitis, Asthma and all
lingering Coughs, but for Consumption itself
in all its earlier stages. It's reasonable. All
these diseases depend on tainted blood. Con
sumption is simply Lung-scrofula. And for
every form of scrofula and blood-taint, the
"Discovery" is a certain remedy. It's so
certain, that its makers guarantee It to bene
fit or curOjin every case, or the f money is re
funded. With a medicine that is certain,
this can be done.
There's a dure for Catarrh, too, no matter
what you've been led to believe. If there
tsnt, in ypnr case, you'll get $500 cash. It's
ft bona fide offer that's made by the proprie
tors 'of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
' They are willing to take the risk you
ought to be glad to take tbo medicine.

Waking Up. On Monday, August 29th,
Corvallis yotes on the question of issuing
bonds for the purchase or constrncnion of
waterworks, light evstem and the erection
of a bridge across the Willamette at that
point. Coivallis has but lateiy awakened
o the fact that she was ' riding the slow
horse in the race for growth and prosperity;
but the " awakeinng has been pretty
thorough, and she has made large strides iu
the line ot advancement, and seeing the
grand results already attained,' her good
citizens will see the virture of keeping up
their lick in the same direction by voting
the bonds, thus securing the wherewith to
purchase her own waterworks, light plant
and wagon road bridge, aud keep abreast
with the progressive and prosperous cities
of Oregon. ' The waterworks and light plant
will pay from the start and soon be sources
of large revenue to the city, while the in
crease in the volume of business brought to
the city by the erection of the bridge will
astonish even the strongest advocate of the
scheme. These three improvements at
tained, Corvallis will be invincible. Toledo

Request. All persons using water for
lawn purposes will confer a great favor on
the water company if they will in the fu
ture shut off all hydrants during fires. Dur
ing the whole of the time the fire company
was fighting fire at Mr. Briggs' and at the
old warehouse the sprinklers were running
in all parts of the city. This weakens the
force of the stream for fire purposes.
Respectfully,
Corvallis Water Co.
