SAME OlD PROBLEM.
It is not an exaggerated state
ment to assert that ever since
the introduction of the negro into
the United States as a slave, a
chattel, he has proved a verit
able thorn to the white race
same of them at least. It is, and
has been for years, amatter of
almost daily occurrence to read
of race wars in the South. Such
a state of affairs still exists south
" of the Mason and Dixon line,
and now and then north of it.
The idea that "all men are
created equal" seems to have
been so generously diffused by
those in authority shortly after
the close of the civil war that it
extended to the negro. A great
er mistake was never made by
the government. Many private
individuals made matters worse
by attempting not only , to place
the unlettered and untutored
negro on a footing with the white
race, but in some instances treaU
ed him as a superior. The result
of governmental misconception
of the characteristics and natur
al limitations of the negro at the
close of the war are glaringly
apparent now and we are reap-
ing the whirlwind.
What can be done to help mat;
ters ? Negro assaults upon white
women are but a, natural return
for the crime of low white men
against the mothers of these ne
groes fifty years ago. In reason,
what else could be expected of
those creatures? A race war to
extermination seems most horri
ble and is not to be seriously
considered by an enlightened
people. Equally repugnant to
the white people is the matter of
amalgamation of the races. Be
sides, they will not mix any more
than oil and water there is al
ways the possibility ot negro
characteristics cropping out after
several generations.
On looking back to the time of
the emancipation of the negro i
seems that the government should
have treated him as award,
dependent, instead of as a political
equal. To have z considered
him, and dealt with him as such
on lines just but firm, and in
kindly spirit, would have been
the part of wisdom- Now it
too late.
is
Charles F. Adams, in the May
Century, gives the result of his ob
servations made during a trip
through the Soudan, tho home o
the African negro. Here, Mr.
Adams says, the negro is at his
best, but he is wholly lacking in
ambition and instincts of self
development. He is -"nigger"
there as here.
The papers of the Oregon me
tropolis have printed a "com
plete" list of the contents dis
covered by a sleuth-like lady
teacher in the pockets of one of
her small boy pupils. All told
there were 103 articles taken
from the lad's jeans. To us this
sounds perfectly reasonable and
reminds us of our boyhood days.
According to our recollection we,
during early life, equalled this
record and would have beaten it
hid not mother sewed up our
pocket?.
Portland seems coming to the
front with a display of the "un
usual" in human form. The
metropolis boasts the possession
of a lady of some 70 odd sum
mers whom it is thought is cut
ting her second set of teeth.
Pahaw! We once knew a man
fully as old as this lady who only
cut his teeth once, but he cut all
them double so they lasted. '

PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE.
n Kenton ana corvallis wnat
People are Doing and Saying.
-Corvallis is prospering. This
"act is forcibly demonstrated
every day and in many ways and
is a matter of general gratifica
tion. Some of the finest resi
dences ever built : in Corvallis
have gone ... up, , this summer.
Among these are the J. H. Harris
dwelling, the A. P. - Johnson
house, the J. F, Yates residence,
the B. A. Cathey house and the
S. L. Kline house now being
erected. More building of the
better class has been done this
season than for many a year, and
in addition to the residences,
marked changes have been and
are being made on Main street
among the business places.
Work on the A. J. Johnson
brick is going on as rapiply as
conditions will permit, and when
completed there will be another
bank, splendid office suites and
other business headquarters,
yhile just back of this, work is
progressing on the structure that
is to house the Corvallis post
office, to' which is to be , added
new and modern equipment that
will render tne office one of the
finest in the Valley.
The new home of the old Cen
tennial meat market is about
ready for occupancy and is a
credit to the town. Over at the
Occidendal, too, great changes
for the better have been wrought.
The trees that, while beautiful
in themselves gave Main street
a rural aspect not desirable on
the principle thoroughfare of a
bustling little city, have been re
moved from in front of this fam
iliar establishment, while in and
about the hotel itself decided im
provements are , noticeable.
Wnen interior arrangements are
completed, a fresh coat of paint
will transiorm the entire build
ing and add materially to the ap
pearance of the street.
Henkle and Davis are also
making a change in location and
seeking quarters nearer the heart
of the business section, and this
will in turn mean repairs to the
room adjoining the National
Bank.
Everywhere changes and im
provements are observable and the
list of transfers of real estate each
week shows that a vast amount
of property is changing hands
and at better prices than ever be
fore in the history of Corvallis.
Looking for desirable building
lots in Corvallis today is about
as futile as the traditional search
for the "needle in the hay mow,'?
and those who have property to
sen can get almost any price
within reason.
Real estate men, conservative
and well posted both as to exist
ing conditions and on prospects
tor the future, declare their firm
oenei mat real estate will never
be cheaper in this section than it
is at present, and that the pres
ent prosperous condition is to be
maintained and increased as
Easterners continue to search for
homes in Oregon and bring their
shekels to invest in property,
thus keeping up the demand for
and likewise the price of Oregon
"dirt."
Ran Into Willamette.
Accidents at the ferry landing
are becoming so frequent as to
hardly cause comment. Every
two or three weeks some horse or
team performs some sort of stunt
at the river's
edge and takes a
sake . of health or
pluage fcr th?
to create a little excitement.
The latest exhibition of this
kind happened Tuesday morn

on the switch, and without wait

down water street like first class
sprinters. They were attached
to a wagon and as they sailed
along they headed for the ferry
and down hill they went, the
wagon forcing them alonj?.
They sprang into the water and I
swam out about 40 feet but ap-i
parenny decided that the water
was too cold ai d turned back.

reported as hung up on a snag
down stream. '
The accident is another dem
onstration of the ' fact .' that .some
sort of railing for protection
should be placed on the . bank to
keep teams or x other animals
from rushing pell mell down the
ferry incline and plunging into
the Willamette. . Some day if
protection is not afforded, some
one will lose his life in ari acci
dent ot this : sort, - for already
there have been several narrow
escapes.
Contract Let to Snook.
Architect Charles H .Burggraf, of Al
bany, bsS completed the plana fcr the new
girls' dormitory t be erected at the Ore
gon Agricultural College at Corvallis and
the contract tor construction has been
let by the board of regents. H . Snook,
the Salem contractor, bid in the work for
$71,300. ;
.The uev. dormitory is to be one of the
finest buildings on the campus. It is to
be three stories and basement and -will
be equipped with all modern conven
iences. It is to be 278 feet long and 103
feet wide. The basement is to be oi
concrete and the structure of Newberg
best grade of pressed brick. - A metal
tile roof will complete the building.
Three hundred students will be housed
in the dormitorj and every comfort wid
be provided. A steam plant will furnisk
heat throughout and hot and cold water
will "be piped to the rooms. Electric
lights will also be used.-Yesterday's
Portland Journal.
Wiring was done yesterday and lights
were placed in the dressing rooms at the
Corvallis opera bouse. Frank Groves,
the present manager, is showing a very
progressive spirit in handling the bouse,
that speaks well for his judgment and
will be greatly apppreclated by the pub
lic.
Trust to Nature.
A grSivt many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with

treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco

consequence the stomach must be treated

'fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead of tho supply. To insure perfect
' health every tissue, bone, nerve and
rrmsclA shniiTri take from the blood cer
tain materials and return to it certain
others. - It is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work of taking- up from
the food what is necessary to make good,
rich, red blood. We must go to Nature
for the. remedy, , There were certain
roots known 'to the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet cer
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are J Golden. Seal root, Queen's
root. Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then tnere is uiacK cnerryoaric.
Tho medicinal principles residing in theso
native roots wnen extracted with glyc
erine as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver m
vigorator( when combined in just the
right proportions, as in Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical .Discovery. Where there

Although some phvsicians nave been
aware of the high medicinal value of the
above mentioned plants, yet few have

usually the doctors' prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts,
with alcohol.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" is a
scientific preparation compounded of the
glyceric extracts of the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains no
alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs.
