NOT GUILTY.
Poor old Corvallis! On account
of a recent dispatch sent from
this city to the Telegram at
Portland we are to receive a
moral lecture in the form of an
editorial. It is presumed that
because our city bears the name
of "Corvallis" (the heart of the
valley) the supposition on the
part of "those . ignorant of oar
manners and morals is that our
' citizens are responsible for what
ever may occur within 50 miles
of here, even if. in another
county.
It is plain that the dispatch
inspired the editor to take us to
task, but it is likewise clear that
the dispatch made no claims that
the city of Corvallis was the
roosting place "of the hoodlums
referred to in this ; dispatch.
Just why the editorial writer on
the Telegram should presume
that each and every hoodlum
who chances to be aboard an ex
cursion train bound out from
Newport to various points in the
valley belong solely to Corvallis
is not apparent. True, we have
our heritage of hoodlum every
mother's son who claims Corval
lis as his birth place may not be
what his fond mother thinks
him but, just the same we are
not lonely in this particular.
Other places contributed their
quota of riff-raff on the particu
lar occasion in question. These
Sunday excursions are not ex
clusively from Corvallis, but
carry people to and from the bay
from every part of Oregon, and
from other states. Neither the
citizens of Corvallis nor the
authorities can be held responsi
ble for; the acts of rowdyism
committed on the train while
passing through another county.
As a matter of fact, there is
scarcely an excursion run any
where that some disgusting hu
man, animal, idiot call him
what you like does not render
himself obnoxious to his fellows.
Corvallis is not alone in a case of
this kind.
We well remember a few ex
cursions that were run through
this city from Portland in the
past. A number of ruffians al
ways attempt to subjugate this
city on these occasions and Cor
vallis has footed the bill lor
extra police required and never
was complaint made or insin
uation to the effect that Portland
-tvas worse than other cities in
this respect. Nor is she.
In reality it seems that a rail
road company taking money
from a general public should
guarantee respectable people
protection from disturbance and
insult. It should be within the
power and duty of the train crew
to keep order they should have
authority and be held responsi
ble accordingly.
WHAT WILL BE.
Some ,men are natural opti
mists and view everything
through magnifying glasses. For
instance, many are there who
hold to the opinion that the day
will come when this country will
do the greater part of the manu
facturing of the world. ' , They
arrive at this conclusion on
reckoning the vast resources of
the country they argue that
such a condition simply must be.
This is all very well, but there
are some features that they fail
to consider. The greatest item
the optimists overlook is labor.
We cannot be the greatest manu
facturing country in the world so
long as the wage-earners of other
nations work for a few cents per
day. To successfully compete
m any way or in any thing you
.must be able to do better work
or proiucea finr article cheaper.

We must . look , to supremacy
along other lines. In many ways
we will be the power behind the
throne. The most certain item
to reckon on is our raw material.
For example, take Japan, and
China- very little of our manu
factures they desire. Such
manufactured articles as the
Orientals require and decide to
buy abroad would in nine cases
out of ten be secured of Germanv
or Belgium on account of cheap
ness. On the other hand, we
can supply cotton, grain, iron
ore and coal to the Orient at
figures that beat : the; -world.
These are necessities andjn this
line we are "it." . . '
So it is and always will be;
there are many ways in which
we may be the leaders of all
mankind, but the idea that in all
things we are to have our inn
ings is but the imaginings of a
dreamer.
Construction and Bonds.
Engineer G. N. Miller of the
Corvallis water system did not
arrive in this city from Athena,
Oregon, last Friday as was ex
pected, but came late Satuiday
evening. Monday he made a
trip to the head pf Rock Creek,
or thereabouts and measured the
flow of water.
This was a matter of great im
portance and the measurements
taken were very reassuring. A
measurement' at this particular
season of the year is most trust
worthy, as the water is at its
'owest stage. Moreover, it is
reported that the streams all
over the . country are right at
present lower considerable than
they average year after year." As
Mr. Miller found a great flow
far in excess of what is required
for this citv- it is a matter of
congratulation. 1
Monday evening the water
committee met with the engineer
and matters of some importance
were discussed. Engineer Mil
ler stated that as he had been
employed to undertake the over
seeing ol the construction of a
water system for Independence it
would be necessary for him to go
down at once to attend a business
matter. He thought that he
could straighten ouc his business
affairs there in two or three days,
after which he would return to
Corvallis and be at the service of
the w.atercommittehereat home.
Mr. Miller went to Icdepend
ence, Tuesday.
' Such is the condition of affairs
so far as the matter of construc
tion work is concerned, but; if the
reader will look in another
column he will find a notice re
lating to the sale of water bonds.
It is evident from this notice that
it is the desire of the committee
to give any who may so desire
an uuuuiiuuuv iu uuv Donas.
These oonds are to draw 4 per
cent interest per annum, payable
semi-annually, and we are assur
ed will be sold in blocks small
enough to allow almost anyone
to become a bondholder. Should
any person desire particular in
formation in regard to this mat
ter, or any other relating to bonds,
construction or anything else in
any way touching on the matter
of the water system we refer
them to S. L,. Kline, who is the
clerk of the Corvallis Water
Committee.5
Card of Thanks.
To tlie many friends who so kindly
assisted us during the recent illness, and
whose kind offices were continued alter
the death of our little son, we desire to
exp ess our sincerest thanks.'

No woman can look beautiful without
good health. A woman's good health
depends on those organs peculiarly femi
nine, and which so often become disor
dered, causing misery and dragging-down
pain. Nature's laws are perfect, nealth
endures if you obey them, but disease
follows disobedience. The distressing
complaints of women are often brought
about by catching cold at a critical
period, breathing foul indoors' air and
long hours of work and nervous tension.
Go straight to Nature for the cure to
the forest. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription is Nature's cure for the dis
tressing complaints of women. Prof.
King, M. D., in his American Dispensatory.-
says of Black Cohosh or Black
Snake-root "our early American In
dians set a high value on this root in
diseases of women. It is surpassed by
no other ding, in congestive conditions
of the parts where there are dragging
pains and tenderness."
Lady's Slipper root is a "nerve stimulant
and tonic, improving both circulation and
nutrition of the nerve centers favoring
sleep and cheerful condition of the mind;
of service in mental depression, nervous
headache, irregularities of women with
despondency." Prof. King. Besides the
above ingredients there are Golden Seal,
Unicorn and Blue Cohosh roots in Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser will be sent free, paper-bound, for
21 one-cent stamps, or cloth-bound for 31
stamps. Over 1000 pages and illustrated.
