PUBLIC INFLICTION.
It may be stated without fear
of contradiction that the citizens
of this city are inclined to be
long-suffering. As a matter of
fact, in many instances -they
have suffered inconvenience be
yond just limits of expectation.
Just now they have a grievance
a good strong one, too. It is
against the electiic light com
pany.. Since the establishment of the
original electric light plant in
this city many years ago until J.
M. Porter sold to the present
company several months ago Cor
v. Jlis never had such poor light
six-vice as she has experienced
sLoce the recent change of own
ership. When the power was
fi.-st supplied from Albany it was
a; 'parent to all that poorer ser
vice was to be our inheritance.
However, no one wanted to be
precipitate in his judgment and
tl.ere was little or no grumbling.
As time rolled on the service
crew no better and more com-1
plaint was heard. Those who
were inclined to be patient made
the most of a report to the effect
that machinery was to be added
to the Albany plant whereby it
Yould be possible to give us a
higher voltage than we ever had
this meant better . light. To a
degree this had a quieting effect.
Tne effect of the favorable re
port has run its course and what
our people want and need at the
present time is the light they are
paying for.
So far as G. A. Clark, local
manager for the company, dnd
his force in this city are concern
ed, no blame attaches to them.
They are powerless to better our
service, or they would, there
fore, we do not censure them.
But the fact remains that the
lights shed just about enough ra
diance-to locatethem by and our
citizens are becoming wearied
The present company promised
as good or better service than the
town ever had, but so far it has
not been provided. We hope it
will be soon. There is one con
solationthe company does not
have an exclusive franchise. . If
present , conditibns prevail for
any considerable time longer
there will be quite a bit of kero
sene and gasoline sold in Corval
lis in excess of the sales of recent
years. A city gas plant might
be considered. We hope to be
shocked with a little higher vol
tagebefore the "robins rest
.again." - '
From what we learn the South
ern Pacific Company is greatly in
need of car builders . They have
not cars enough to anywhere
meet the demands of the
country. We know of a local
shipper who has been trying for
some time to secure three cars,
but to date has failed. How can
any country develop when de
pendent upon shipping facilities
which cannot supply three cars
within a reasonable space of
time? It looks like the good old
S. P. would have some built.
Tr! FAIR OF 1909.
Stcttle People Buy Stctk in Pa
cific Exposition.
A ten million dollar fair three
years from now that's what the
town of Seattle, the state of
Washington, and the Pacific
Northwest aTe looking forward
to. The start has tuen made, a
wonderful start, by the raising of
$650,000 in one day through the
sale of stock in the exposition
corporation.
October 2nd was a gala day in
Seattle, the biggest day the
1 : 1
Wisringtoa metropolis ever had.
It wasvknowB as-subscription
day; the mayor, by proclamation,
made it a holiday, and the slogan
"Everybody Helps," adopted by
Will H. Parry, chairman of the
ways and means committee, was
made a reality. There was a
constant flow of checks and gold
up the elevators to the fifteenth
story of the Alaska building
where the temporary headquart
ers of the exposition have been
established. -
The fair already gives promise
of a scope yet unattained by west
ern enterprises. The name, Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
1 Exposition,
contributes an idea of the general
nature of the show. It will be
primarily an Alaska fair, held to
exploit to the world the resources
of the little-known northland,
and in this connectieu will be
gathered the most remarkable
mining display ever shown at a
world's fair. The gold, that
made the country originally fa
mous will be told of through speci
mens, photographs and machin
ery, and other ores more recently
discovered,' will have proper rep
resentation. And more import
ant, the agricultural and indust
rial possibilities will be effective
ly exploited.
Besides Alaska, the great s Yu
kon country will contribute sano
ples oi its untold wealth, and the
Islands of the sea will show their
marvels. One of the principal
objects of the exposition .will be
tp bring together in trade the
shores of the Pacific. With a
population ten times as great as
the United States, occupying a
territory three times the size of
Uncle Sam's domain, Asia and
Oceanica, produce enormous
quantities of wares which Ameri
cans might use, while on the
other hand, they need millions of
dollars worth of goods made in
America; To bring the two to
gether, through the medium of
exhibits, will bejhe object of the
Seattle fair.
State participation " in the
Aiaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
is already a certainty, and the
United States government is
counted upon to put up a build
ing or a series of buildings, and
make a display worthy of .the
richness of the land. The west
ern states learned through the
Lewis and Clark fair last year,
the advantages to be gained
through generous participation in
national exhibits, and can be
counted upon to make even bet
ter displays than those which
helped to make the 1905 show
attractive. Oregon is certain to
have a fine building, stufted with
products, and California, always
a good show state, will be there.
Idaho, Montana, Wyoming,
Utah, Colorado and the ether
states, as well as the British
possessions to the , north, will be
adequately represented.
With nearly three years re
maininor before the exposition,
the beginning ot preparation has
already been made. The Wash
ington University grounds, com
prising 355 acres, bordering on
Lake Washington and Lake
Union, have been chosen; as a
site, m and landscape gardening
will soon be begun. The site is
situated twenty minutes' ride
from the center of the city, and
is in every way adapted to its
purpose.
Mastodon to be Exhibited.
The big exposition to be held
in .Seattle in 1909 will have as
an attraction of mere than usual
interest an almost perfect speci
men of the mastodon which
roamed the Northland a lew cen
turies before Columbus discover
ed America. Skeletons of the
mastodon which was a beast con
siderably larger than an elephant,
have been reconstructed from
scattered bones and exhibited at
earlier fairs, but no exposition
had the big beast as he looked
when alive.
The mastodon was- found on
Cleary Creek, above Nome, by
W. E. Thomas. The remains of
his royalty were embedded in the
ice. He is probably the finest
specimen of the preservative
powers of cold storage extant,!
lor ne nrst got caught long be
fore people knew even how to
keep . ice during the summer
months.
So well was the . beast 'oreser
ved that not many years ago,
when a mild, winter permitted
the ice to melt a little from about
him. a starving animal ate somt
ot the flesh. "Mastodon steak
served while you wait! How
would that strike you? It evi
dently struck the hungry beasi
very well, for he ate a big chunk,
out of the mastodon's ! back. .
Aside from the hole in his
back, the great animal appears
to be in excellent shape, and he
will be dug out and thawed out
and taken to Seattle. ' It is pro
bable that it will be necessary to
skin and staff him, and the job
will be a big one for some taxi
dermist. ' ?

maxim that "a lie will travel seven

6f good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon Dr. R. V. Pierce

in the May (1904) number of the Ladies'
Home Journal, with its great black dis
play headings, who never saw the hum
ble, groveling retraction, with its incon
spicuous heading, published two months
later, It was boldly charged in the sland
erous and libelous article that Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, for the cure of
woman's .weaknesses and ailments, con
tained alcohoi and other harmful ingredi
ents. Dr. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for $300,000,00 damages.
Dr. Pierce alleged that Mr. Bok, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter witji the intent of injuring his
