Visitors are astonished at the
evenness of the temperature in this
valley. For the last week the ther
uiometer has stood at 50 deg. and
51 dee., excepting very early in the
morning. Cold weather is a rare
quantity in the Willamette valley.
What is going to be done about
the Fire Department ? This matter
is too important to be negleoted
much longer. If you have any
suggestions to make regarding it,
remember that Robert Johnson is
collecting data, with a view to put
ting the department on a better
footing than formerly. Help him
out if you have any practical ideas.
Efforts are being made to bring
out a full attendance at the special
meeting of the Corvailis Grange,

dance will be large. The meeting
will be held in Agricultural Hall.
Officers will be elected, and arrange
ments made for the anaual meet
ing of the State Grange in this city
in May next.
A word of commendation for a
retiring county official, who has
done his duty well, will not be out
of place. John S. Miller, who has
been road supervisor in District No.
8, King's Valley, for the last term,
can retire with a consciousness of
havirig done well in his district.
On the Long Canyon roads, excel
lent work has been accomplished
Certainly no man who has ever
filled that position can present a
better, cleaner record than "Uncle
John."
The meeting of the National
Grange at Portland, next Novem
ber, is a matter of importance to
the farmers of this state, and it is
none too soon for subordinate
granges to commence making pre
parations for the event. Take a
good hard thinking spell, and make
a note of your wants, so that your
delegate to the State Convention in
this city in May, can take steps to
bring it before the national body.
If the Gazette can be of any as
sistance in the matter, you have
only to command us.

The Coffee We Drink.
In Brazil, where coffee drink
mg is indulged in to excess,
drunkeness is rare. Foreign to
pers, who stay there any length
of time soon lose all desire for
intoxicants, but they become
heavy coffee drinkers. In tropi
cal couutries coffee is drank with
out milk or cream, but generally
with susar. This is the correct
way if people wish to retain their
health. Coffee is seldom injuri-
ous it dranK in . tnis manner.
And it is a fact worthy of note
in tnis country as wen as in
Brazil, that coffee drinkers sel
dom become drunkards. We
commend this fact to . our tem
perance agitators.
Speaking of the prevalence of
coffee dunking, the bulk ot the
world's coffee product is drank in
he United States. Over 900,-
mm .4
000,000 lbs. is imported every
year. This comes mostly from
Brazil and Central America.
The best comes in small quantity,
comparatively, from Java. There
is not a coffee dealer or grocer in
the country but claims to sell
Mocha and Java blended. It is
doubtful if a hundred pounds of
Mocha coftee comes v into the
State of Oregon in a year. How
much of that do you expect you
are going to getr uut a mue
over one million pounds of coffee
every year comes to this country
rom Aden, the shipping port of
Arabian coffee, and it is conceded
by coffee dealers that a large part
of the product sent from that
port has been shipped there from
other places, to be "Aden-ized,"
or made to Dear tne necessary
custom house marks. It would
be within the bounds of truth to
. m . . . 4
say tnat less man rso tons 01
pure Mocha coffee is all that:
America receives every year.
Ninety-nine and one-half pounds
out of every hundred sold in this
state is Central America and Bra
zilian coffee, and costs seven
cents per pound. Two-thirds of
that amount is sold over the
counter at 35 cents per pound, j
Who gets the profit? The only
difference in grade or quality
comes from the soil where raised,
and the conditions there existing.
Plant Java, Mocha, Kona, or
Tonila coffee in Costa Rica and
the product will be same in qual
ity and flavor as the product now
raised in Costa Rica. Mocha
coflee cannot be raised out ot
Arabia, or Java out of Java.
But all the same we will go oh
as before, drink our seven-cent
mixture of Salvador and Rio,
call it Mocha and Java, pay forty
cents for it and enjoy it At any
rate the grocers are happy.
Arrested for Embezzlement, vv
Harry Nicklin was arrested at
John Smith's i place, on Soap
Creek, about 15 miles from Cor
vailis last Wednesday by Sheriff
Burnett and Deputy Schreider. o;

: to town and placed in the county
jail. He is wanted in Portland
for getting away with about $100
of his employer, a Portland butch
er for whom Nicklin was col
lector.
This happened nearly a year
aeo and since then Nicklin has
spent most of his time in this
part of the county. He worked

Corvailis "Makes Good."
mat a., a. wuson, tne new
manager of the Corvailis Opera
House understands his business
and knows how to advertise a
show to its best ' advantage, was
evident by the large crowd that
greeted "Are You a Mason?" on
Wednesday night. Considerable
interest was centered in Wednes-
"1
day night's attraction as it was a
test to see if Corvailis people
would appreciate a first-class per
formance. "Are You a Mason"
is a side' splitting comedv 4 from
start to finish and Mr. Wilson used
excellent judgment when he
signed lor this kind of a play for
his opening night. The audi
ence was kept in the best of
humor during the entire evening.
The first night "made good"
in everv respect, and tne
play going public fully appreci
ate the efforts of Mr, Wilson in
having only first-class attrac
tions on the. boards. On next
Tuesday night the bill will be
"Sandy Bottom", a beautiful
Southern play, full of pathetic
and humorous situations.- ,

Chas. Small, one of the pro
prietors of Small & Son's con
fectionery store, was tried in
udge Holgate's court yesterday
morning tor allowing gambling
in his store.
Several witnesses were called
and swore they were playing in
the above store on Saturday
night and Sunday morning. Jan
uary 2 and. 3, 1904. They all
admitted playing "stud poker"
"or money and using both checks
and coin with which to bet.
The game was run on percentage,
Chas. Small being the dealer.
The case proved one of gatrrblingv
pure and simple, no evidence be
ing introduced to the contrary.
It had been noised about that
gambling was being carried on
on in the back rooms of Small's
confectionery so the authorities
prepared an investigating com
mittee to call upon the store and
see lor tnemselves. inis was
done last Saturday night as stated
in our last issue, and the parties
bund there that night, upon be-
. m -a ..-.
mg questioned, admitted tnat
they had gambled in Small's
place. These were used as wit
nesses against the defendant who,
did not deny the charge.
After hearing the case, Judge
Colgate placed Chas. Small
under $250 bonds to appear be
fore the next circuit court, which
convenes in April.

A prominent Corvailis business
man, who has been recently on
his travels, at first innocently
enough registered from his home
town. So many signs of inter
est occurred in connection with
Holy Roller matters that after
awhile the citizen of the beauti
ful town with the Latin name
forebore to admit even that he
was from Oregon. A trifling
foolish matter takes the wings of
the thistle down and flies to all
quarters Albany Herald.
-
While the administering of a
coat of tar aud feathers to the
Corvailis 'Holy Rollers" seemed
a very harsh treatment, it would
be difficult to conceive a more ap
propriate punishment for the per
sistent indulgence of their idiotic
and disgusting antics in the name
of religion. There ;is a limit to
what a community can endure of
this sort of thing, and as the
Statesman said some weeks ago
while discussing the extravagant
fanaticism of the unbalanced
"apostles,', the public should
take them in charge and perma
nently suppress their exhibitions.
There are a thousand men and
women in the Asylum here today
who have never at any time
shown the same symptoms of ir
recoverable idiocy as the spectac
ular "Holy Rollers." Their in
sane doings have been a travesty
on religion and a burlesque on
common sense. Salem States

Dr. Withycornts On Fruit.
Dr. Withycombe was one of
the speakers at the ' meeting in
Portland of the Northwestern
Fruit Growers Association, on
Tuesday last, and, as usual, gave
some good, sound, practical ad
vice. His subject was "Co-operation
Between the Horticulturist
and the Experiment Station."
He advises the adoption of more
intelligent methods of horticul
ture. 'At one time, ' said Dr. Withy
combe, "I could not look at a
poor cow or a poor sheep without
pitying its owner now I feel the
same way towards a poor tree.
Fruitgrowing has not developed,
says tie Telegram for the cattle
owner has protection from the
diseased cow, but th orchardist
has no protection from the dis
eased tree, " because the State
Board of Horticulture has not
sufficient power."
Dr. Withycombe urged the
adoption of better horticultural
laws. He urged a campaign for
this purpose by a triumvirate
composed of the . railroads, the
press and the agricultural colleges
a campain of education for the
purpose of upholding the trinity
of the grubbing hoe, the pruning
shears and the spray pot.
