tfS Woedeek 1 It. CORVAI Vol. XTX Corvalus, Benton County, Oregon, Friday, July 1, 1904. No. S GAZETTE. Mardi Gras Carnval at Portland. The great Mardi Gras Carnival to take place in Portland, Oregon, June 28th to July 9th, inclusive, promises to be the most stirring and magnificent celebration that has ever occurred in the North west perhaps the most brilliant occurrence of its kind that has yet been planned and carried out on this Coast. The enthusiasm of the various towns who have mentioned in their papers this wonderful Car nival has made it sure that there will be an immense attendance, and the stupendous preparations of the management will amply justify everyone taking a trip to Portland at this time. To begin to enumerate the big features is almost confusing. Of course the fact that five of the Nation's big battleships have been ordered to Portland to stay during the Carnival, is one great attraction. They will" be open for visitors and dressed in gala dress. The Spectacular Parade on the open ing day will be the grandest af fair beyond all imaginative eyes to describe surpassing anything you can imagine or express in point of magnificence and spec tacular display. The State Mili tia, Uncle Sam's boys from Van couver Barracks under General Funston, all the Trade Organiza tions, over thirty floats, visiting organizations from far and near, altogether making an attempt at brilliancy never heretofore dreamed of in Portland. Again, the torchlight and fire works celebration and parade on the night of July 4th will be pos itively the most, stunning thing you have ever heard of. It will pay anyone to come and see this Mardi Gras and Carnival. The railroads have all made moderate rales from all points to Portland and return with stop over privileges for the Carnival, and no one should leave them selves out. of this joyous event. They have promised celebrations before that were well worth see ing, but this will go far ahead of anything we have ever had be fore. The conditions are just right. The appropriate organi zations have gotten together. This is the great year for the northwestern country, anyway, and altogether this Carnival has an unbounded support. ...ZIEROLF...

One of the foremost and most flourishing industries in our rapidly-growing ciiy is that of 'the manufacture and sale of ice. Ice is shipped from Corvallis to all points westward on the C. & E. railway and many points east ward. It also ships . to Dallas, Independence, Monmouth and as far north W North Yamhill, half way between here 'and Port land. The heme trade of course is the heaviest ot all; with the picnics, . banquets, ' socials, ice cream stands, saloons, .' hotels, butcher shops and a score or more of other Remands the plant is kept running night and day to supply orders. There is no time Jot the year, in fact when t the plant is idle. At the present time, Mr. Ek, the genial, whole souled proprietor, who enjoys the possession of one of the short est of names, finds the limited capacity of his plant so straining under the burden ot supplying the heavy trade that he may have to enlarge before the summer is over. ' The story of how steam is con verted into -ice this hot weather is a very, interesting one as well as reassuring to us who are users of ice, - because when the story is io:d you will agree that there can be nothing purer, than artificial ice. ' The water is pumped frOm' a well fifty fett deep, hermetically, sealed and is clear and sparkjin'k like the waters of a mountain stream. This water is boiled and converted into sttam The steam passes through a cooler or con denser and becomes water again soft, velvety" sterilized ' water. Phjsiciaus ot this city purchase this water for medicinal purposes as none purer can be found. The process by which this purified water is drawn frt m the air-tight tank into the freezing tanks is a precautionary one, no microbe or germ or bug of any kind can get into the water in any possible way. The water t inks are sur rounded by numberless iron pipes, through which ammonia gas is constantly being pumped. This gas readily absorbs the heat from the water and this extrac tion of heat is what really causes the water to freeze. The gas which becomes heated is kept constantly circulating through a cooler or condenser re ducing its temperatnre. It is constantly absorbing heat from the water and constantly losing it in the condensor. The am monia gas will not liquify and freeze when the . water freezes as it will stand a very much lower temperature. If one were to visit the ice works the hottest day in summer he would find the am monia pipes coated with about an inch of snow. It requires a pressure of 150 pounds of am monia gas to the square inch upon the inside of the pipes these hot days to cause the water to freeze solid. .In winter the weather is cool -'and only 90 pounds is re quired. When the temperature of the water registers 32 degrees the freezing point,' the ammonia will be just a little lower. The water tanks are partially sub merged in a strong solution of brine to keep them from freezing to the pipes. Each tank con tains about 100 pounds of ice. When it is removed from the freezing box warm water is poured over its galvanized cov ering and it slides out easily upon the washing board. Mr. Ek has lived in Corvallis about three years and is one of those men' you are always glad to meet and with whom it is always a pleasure to transact business. Remember that with every 25 cents worth of laundry work done at the Steam Laundry you get a vote on the heaatifal U S silk flag, in Nolan & Cal lahan's window. i 7 newDre$$$Rirt$an(J$l)irWUai$t$ WOOL DRESS GOODS New Mixed Suitings New Scotch Weaves .
