VHAPIN BILL. It has been generally under stood that the Chapin bill was "intended to prohibit the various ran udd companies doing business in Oregon from issuing passes to such officers as might be in a position to especially favor such Cjmpanies. Generally speaking judges of courts, sheriffs and as sessors would be the first to be considered with the exception of our- legislators. The passage of the bill does not greatly change or better mat ters, according to Thursday's Oregonian, leaving out of consid eration what may be done by the railroad commission. According to the list published by the Ore gonian we find that it still re mains the privilege of the rail road companies to issue passes to a 1 irger class than they will like, ly care to recognize. It dees not say that they "shall" issue these passss, but it is made plaia that they "may" if they so desire. Oa the list of those to whom passes "may" be issued we find the term "officers." Whether thij was published directly from the text of the Hill or not we caunot say, but the word "offi cers is very far-reaching in its various interpretations and it is m re than possible it would mean the judrrf 1 r.h bench. If such is tiie case we find nothing gain ed regarding the issuance of pass's with the exception thit the legislators have freed them selves from the possibility of be n under obligations for car riaj to and from varum pomts during theirtenure of office. So far as the railroad commis sion is concerned, there is abund ant work f r that body. We believe the commission selected to be a good one composed of honest and able men. It may be that the Chapin bill reaily con tains more creditable provisions th:in is inferred by the the Ore gon ian referred to. PURE FOOD. There has been considerable of a wrangle in the legislature over a pure fo.vl law with an "honest weight" clause attached. The idea prevails that we need food 'U'.i3 mither used to cook" and also assurance that what we buy for preparation for our digestive organs is just what it stands for what its name implies and nothing else. We want plenty of it, too. Tnat certain jobbers and re tailers are working to defeat the '"honest weight" clause does not look well- It looks as though these men wanted to defraud their patrons. . Not this alone -either one is inclined to the pre sentiment that -these "jobbers," wholesale and retail, expected the legislature to assist them in their efforts to continue to give any old weight for an honest pound. The argument was advanced against the passage of the bill to the effect that if jobbers and re tailers are obliged to mark the weight and measure on what they sell it would work a great hard ship on the business, as this was aiot dona in other states. From this we presume the people of Oregon are to be eternally doom ed to pay for what they do not receive to be cheated by short weight and measure. It matters not to Oresonians what the peo ple of other states do. If others iwish to pay for a pound of this or that it does not affect Oregon aans provided they are not impos ed upon in a similar manner. Ho honest "person wants that for; which he does not render value received and we venture the assertion that no Corvallis merchant will .fight a pure food law to which is attached an "honest weight and measure" clause. . He may have to adjust his prices to some extent, it is true. But he realizes that there is nothing dishonest in the pro cess. Give all an honest deal the people and the merchants. THREE OF A KIND. Prosecuting Attorney Jerome is proving himself a great prose cutor in the Thaw trial now in progress in New York City. Had Mrs. Thaw, wife of the defend ant, laid her very soul bare to Mr. Jerome it would not seem possible for him to know her his tory better than he at present ap pears to. The history of this wo man's life seems known to Jer- j ome, even from infancy to the present time. Mrs Thaw is appearing as a witness in the trial of her hus band, Harry K. Thaw, for the killing of Stanford White. She is making a desperate effort to save her husband from the elec tric chair. The ordeal she has faced in appearing in behalf of her husband has required great courage and it is small wonder that she has been reduced to tears many times and broken down in her testimony Her past does not read well and there is no woman with a particle of pride but would shrink from hav ing her depravity heralded to all the world. Mr. Jerome is proving both Taaw and his wife of the same "oread of cats." That either is no adornment to society goes without saying, and, while it is not considered proper to speak ill of the dsad, there is -more than a suspicion that White was no better. LOCKS BILL. The Willamette Locks bill pass ed the senate Thursday by a vote of 22 to 7. By the provisions of this bill the state appropriates $300,000 to construct and main tain locks at Willamette Falls at Oregon City, contingent upon the government appropriating a like sum, or what is necessary for carrying out the provisions of the bill. This looks like a large sum of money, and i". is, but if the state is to engage in any such project whatever, is to do anything to facilitate commerce within her borders, this certainly was the place to begin. The Oregon legislature doth ordain that sheriffs will continue to be tax collectors regardless of the fact that the Tax Commission has recommended that the coun ty treasurers be made the collec tors as well as custodians of pub' lie revenues. Hill Sings Sang. Tames J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railroad Com pany; expresses the opinion that times are gradually going to grow harder. To continually harp on any possible condition is to in vite such condition and for a man iu Mr. Hill's position to harp on coming "hard times" would be an invitation for them to appear. A great financier has bat to talk "nard timss" to scare lesser lights and this will have the ef fect of closing the coffers through out the country and everybody is pinched. A false alarm can readily scare money out of circu lation and the result is the same as though there wrre genuine causes for hard times. Mr. Hill says: "General policies of retrench ment are under way," said Mr. Hill. "Less money is to be spent on new work. The effect of this movement is being felt at the present time in the falling off ot orders. I he beginning of this movement is very evident in Chicago. "While I would scarcely call it a recession in business, it is more of a drawing in. The raihoads are curtailing their ex penses and placing fewer orders. On our lines we will finish the work we have under way, and that is all. . - ? 'This movement toward econ omy is scarcely perceptible, but it should be sufficient to relieve the strain from conjested busi ness. In a way it is a good thi. g. It is better so, L as the curtailment is gradual. Other wise there might' be a sudden stamp with sericus results. "The first tendency is toward the curtailment of luxuries. Then there will be a falling off in the amount of manufactured articles. This will continue during the coming months.. But- so Jar as concerns the future, the year 1908 may be a iaid one, and" : then many men may be out cf em ployment." "Nettie the Newt Girl. One of the most important en gagements of the year, not from the standpoint of theatrical ef fect, but from popular intere t will be the coming of Misslsa belle Lowe and her excellent company next Thursday, Feb. 28th, at the opera house. She will present "N ttie the News Girl," a story of life in New York. The character is claimed to be a reproduction of what is to be seen on the Gastside of New York every day in the year, the extremes being carefully avoided and only that which is best and noblest in the delineation allowed to creep in within ihe lines of the situation. The plav affords Miss Lowe every opportunity to do excellent wors and she takes full advan tage of these opportunities. The company assisting ber is siii to be one of the best on ihe road, and the scenic accessories are all that are required to make the production complete in every de tail. Seat sale opens Tuesday morn ing. P. ices 35, 50 and 75c. 19 She Has Departed, All earthly trials, troubles, sor rows and suffering are over with Mrs. Anora DeBolt Lafferty, as Death claimed her Saturday, i'hus we face the rough places in life's way and all come to the same sad end. , Mrs. Lafferty was the wife of W. P. Lafferty of this city. She wa as good and kind a helpmeet as ever a man had and a wifehood of 31 years more than proved this. She was a loving mother and gentle and kind with friends- Anora DeBolt Lafferty was born in Summerville, Ohio, March 12, 1855. In 1865 she re moved with her people to Tren ton, Missouri. She was married to W. P. Lafferty at the latter place November 12, 1875. To them were given eight children, four of whom died in childhood and lie in the cemetery at Tren ton. The other four children were at the bedside of their mother during her last momentsto render such consolation as they could and were a great comfort to her. Mrs. Lafferty was the daugh ter of R. A. DeBolt, who was circuit judge of the 11th Judicial District of Missouri for 12 years, after which he was elected to congress to succeed Hon. Ira B. Hyde. With her husband she came to Corvallis in October 1898, direct from Missouri. During the World's Fair at St. Louis she visited the exposition and in other parts of the East in the hope of benefiting her health. Again, a year ago, she went to Colorado, thence to New Mexico, and later to California in a vain attempt to ward off the ravages of that fa tal malady, consumption. It was a useless struggle and the end came quietly and peacefully Sat urday. The services will be held at the family residence this afternoon at 2:30 and will be conducted by Rev. J. R. N. Bell. Interment will be in Crystal Lake cemetery. Many friends sympathize with the bereaved relatives in thi?, the greatest affliction possible to be visited upon them.

FOR STOMACH SUFFERERS. Don't Use Any Remedy That Keeps Its Formula a Secret. People troubled with stomach weak ness cannot afford to use a medicine un less they know what it contains. Mi-o-na is the one remedy for stom ach troubles that publishes its formula; chemically pure bismuth eubgallate, to allay any inflammation of the stomach an J bowels cerium oxalate, to strengthen the stomach nerves; sodium bi- carbonate, to neutralize the poison o is acids that are present in stomach troubles; and nux vomica, which re btores vigor to the digestive organs and tnnea up the whole nervous system. This combination of valuable reme dies is found only in Mi-o-na stomach labiets, and it so raraly fails to strengthen the digestive system, and cure even the worst form of stomach trruble, that Graham and Wells sell the emedy undr guarantee to refund the noney unless it cares. A 50c box of Mi-o-na will give quick rel'ef for indigestion, distress after eat ing, sleeplesssneBS, or any of the other svmptoms of stomach troubles. Unless it does this, the cost is nothing.
