Gen. Horace Porter, who found
the remains of John -Paul Jones,
and forwarded them to the&Unit-
edi States, will not allow Con
gress reimburse him for ,the ex
pense incurred. He appreciates
the motive 'at actuates the
members of Conerress who are
favorable to the pfctn. - Gen. Por
ter says he regarded the work as
a personal undertaking and asks
that any amount which Congress
mav consider due him be added
t, ,the proposed appropriation for
II1C UJb 111. Lual cw iiuuw-
Dolis. This is very nice on the
part of Gen- Porter, who has
shown himself on many occasions
to be a patriotic citizen and a
liberal gentleman. The expense
: was heavy, but fortunately the
private resources of Gen. Porter
were equal to the outlay. As
only very wealthy men -can be
foreign Ambassadors under the
prevailing system, Gen. Porter
had meams to gratify, his
historical tastes in the ., manner
that resulted so favorably. Con
gress can make an appropriation
for the crypt in which the re
mains will repose and ihis will
- be in a sense a monument to the
service which Gen . Porter has
rendered his countrymen. fex.
Speaking of Punishment.
Last Saturday, John Fawver, a
farmer of Southern Benton, de
serted his wife and -children, and
eloped with 19-year-old . Lillie
Howard. They floated down the
Willamette river past Corvallis
ina skiff so ; far as Salem, the
girl attired , in men's clothes
At Salem they were apprehended
and thither Sheriff Burnett, ac
companied : by the . girl's grief-
stricken father, went during the
fore part of the week. Fawver
was held in Salem under $500
bonds on the charge of adultery
and the girl returned, home with
her father, Orin Howard, of
Linn county . Commenting edi
torially on the matter the Ore-
gonian of Wednesday has the
following:
The sheriff of Benton county
has overhauled at Salem one
John Fawver, who abandoned
his wife and four children near
Monroe, a f ew days ago, taking
all the family funds and the 19-
year-old daughter of a neighbor-
ing rancher with him. - The
father of the deluded girl bore
the sheriff company in his quest,
with intent to take , the folly-
stricken daughter back to her
home. It was well 1 hat the pur-
suit was successful. Not that
the recreant husbaud and father
was worth pursuing, even upon
the basis of the probable r turn
to the duty of supporting his
wife and children. He has left
duty and responsibility too far
behind to justify the hope that
: they will overtake him, .even
though the sheriff has arrested
his - flight. But the , common
sense of decency that; he has
violated so flagrantly will be ap
peased somewhat by the t inflic
tion of such punisment upon him
as the law provides.
As to the deluded' young worn
an, it is charitable to hope that
paternal forgiveness will work in
her the mirasle of reform The
chief objects of solicitude in such
a case, however, are the desert
ed wife and . children. - If both
offenders could by some process
be compelled to . work ten hours
every day and turn over the
wages earned to the support of
the cruelly wronged f amilyr until
the children were, iible- to ;iham
tajn - themselves, j ; restitution
would in a measure accompany
penalty. It is only in an ideal
condition of society, however,
that penalty and "restitution go
hand in hand, and such a condi
tion would preclude the pos
sibility in this case by abrogat
ing the nrst cause. To come
down to to things practical, how
would it do to add the wife-de
serter to the list of disnatured
creatures for whom the whip-
pi rig-post has been Tevived in
this state? . ' -. " r?: j

Splendid Write-up, of Our Many!

The Christmas issue of the
Pacific Northwest,, 'published in
Portland, is at hand. It is one
of the neatest and finest of all
holiday publications to reach us
so iar. Benton county is writ
ten up in fine style, giving our
various resources proper mention
and the article is'profusly il
lustrated with half-tones of W. B.
Benton County Citizens' League,
also of our college buildings,
court house, and numerous public
buildings and private residences
throughout Corvallis and - the
county. The accompanying
write-up is a small portion ot the
matter appearing in the Pacific
Northwest, and as dairying is
destined to become one of our
great industries in the future, we

The man who suffers from these dis
orders and neglects ,them will soon be in
the relentless grasp of some fatal disease.
If he 13 naturally narrow chested and
shallow Ianpred, it will probably be con
sumption; if his father or mother died of
paralysis or some nervous trouble, it will
probably be nervous exhaustion or pros
tration, or even insanity; if there is a
taint in the family blood, it will be blood
or skin disease; if he lives in a new or a
low, swampy country, it will- be malaria;
if he lives a life of exposure, it may be
rheumatism. There is one safe course for
a man to follow who finds himself "out of
sorts" and suffering from the symptoms
described. It is to resort to Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This medi
cine makes the appetite keen, corrects all
disorders of the digestion, renders assimi
lation perfect, invigorates the liver, puri
fies and enriches the blood and builds
firm, healthy flesh and nerve tissue. It
cures almost all diseases that result from
'nsufficient or Improper nourishment of
the brain and nerves. Bronchial, throat,

far advanced, readily yield to it. i

many of the established factories
have not received the suppofrt

cases is all with the land owners
and not with the cows, soil, cli
mate, or market-conditions,
I Last vear the Corvallis creamery

year of 22 cents for butter fat and
if the suoply had been a dozen
times' as large it could not have
met the demand
There are in the country many
herds of only fairly graded cows
which produce annually over 256
nounds of butter to a cow. while

The quality of the milk is ex

show an average of a little less

lence of the milk, however, rests
not alone in the quality of the
