Original Plan Adopted.
A novel plan to secure a sue
cessful cannery has been adopted
by the company, which is in
stalling a cannery at Browns
ville, says the Herald. The firm
recently purchased 139 acres ad
joining the site of the cannery,
1 and has sold it out in ; ac;e
1 tract., with the agreement that
the land so" acquired shall be de
voted to raising produce 4or the
cannery. Pieuty of good mater
ial of the kind desired is thus as
sured in addition to what shall
oe furnished from farms and it is
planned to increase the size of
the plant as conditions demand.
The new cannery at Browns
ville, whih will be the first in
dustry of the kind in Linn coun
ty, is being installed by Ed Hol
loway and Oren Sratton, of
Brownsville and H. A. Lewis,
of Portland. The old tannery
building near the Southern Pa
cific depot will be remodeled and
the machinery for the plant,
which has been ordered, will.be
installed there as soon as it ar
rives. The new plant will begin
operating this summer. Soaie
marketable fruits will be canaed,
but the chief attention this sea-
sen will be devoted to tomatoes
and beans. Other vegetables
will be added to the output later.
The spirit with which the can
nery starts in Brownsville is
illustrated by the fact that a
bonus ot $1000 was raised for it
in 48 hours.
"CHHIST0PH0NE" INSTALLED.
Church Services Now Held by
Phone in Albany.
The Albany Herald of Wed
nesday says:
"Conversions bv telephone
will be made possible in Albany
commeucing with next Sunday.
ine time has passed when it is
necessary to attend church to get
the benefit of the minister's ser
mon, or to enjoy the music of
trained choirs.
"Albany will be the first city
on the Pacific coast to have one
ot its churches equipped with the
Lhris.ophone. Manager DeVar
uey of the home company is how
engaged in installing this won
dertui invention in the United
Presbyterian church and expects
to have it ia working order by
Sunday morning. speaking on
the subject last night Mr. D
Varney said that the Christo-
phone was oae of the latest in
ventions in the telephone line.
and while it has been tned in one
or two places in the United
Stales with success, it is vet in
the nature ot an experiment. It
the Christophone is found "to
piove succesaiul in the United
Presbyterian church, Mr. De Var
ney states that he will endeavor
10 install the instruments in all
the houses of worship in the
cny.
"The Christophone," said Mr.
DeVarney "is designed especially
for the convenience of patients in
hospitals and any persons whe
are unable to attend church. We
will probably put in suitable
apparatus in the hospital here so
that the patients can have the
benefit ot bearing a church, ser
vice with no inconvenience on
their part.
It this initial experiment
proves successful, and. Christe-
phones are installed in all the
churches, Albany will only have
to call "Central" and ask to bw
connected with the church of
their choice to realize the bene
fit of a religious service.

LET Haas? SH33T C3.VE.
It Means Much to Corvallis and
Benton Farmers Interested.
Isn't it about time to begin
planuing for another horse show
for Corvallis? It not, why not?
The horse show last year was
oae of the biggest aff tirs from
several standpoints, ever held in
Corvallis, and its results are
still noticeable in this city and
Beaton county. Noc ouly did it
bring together an immense crowd
for two days and interest old
and young, men and women, as
they were never before interest
ed in fin.' horses; but it attracted
the attention of the entire state
and of neighboring states to the
horses of Beuton county. The
result has been that horse buyers
have been constant visitors to the
couuty ever since, paying prices
for desirable animals that have
made glad the hearts and fat the
purses ot all farmers with such
stock for sale.
This year many farmers in
Benton have young -animals that
are in prime condition for exhib
ition purposes, and they are nat
urally beginning to woader if
Corvallis is going to give them
an opportunity to display these
animals.
The horse show means money
to the farmer, because many
horse buyers will, it is certain,
come to the show and pay big
prices on the spot for prize win
ners and other desirable hors.s.
When the farmers prosper, the
merchants, grocers and the en
tire community also prosper
When the town receives such
advertising as a horse show
gives it, near and far, it is der
t .in that the news will travel and
bear fruit.
Therefore, it behooves Corval
lis horsemen, those who so suc
cessfully planned and carried to
fulfillment the big horse show
last year, to get busy and agi
tate this important matter. Al
ready several farmers have been
making inquiries and are eager
for information on the subject.
If deemed advisable, other fine
stock might also be exhibited at
the same time, as goat and other
shows are held in neighboring
towns with marked success.
It has been sensibly suggested
that no cash prizes be offered, as
they are of little moment to the
men who own fine horses and have
plenty ot money already. Rather
let the ra.'ney be invested in sil
ver cups which can be suitably
engraved and be kept as heir
looms in the family of lucky
winners.
By all means let us have a
horse show and let plans be for
mulated at an early date.
COMING TO THE FRONT.
And Found Capable Facts About
Women Mail Carriers.
No matter how badly some
narrow-minded men hate to ad
mit it, women are contantly forg
ing to the front in almost every
avenue of business and more than
that, they are succeeding. They
are day by day being promoted
to positions of trust and impor
tance and a leading minister ot
Portland declared in an address a
few days ago that they are
"more dependable" than men
because they have no vicious
habits to sap their vitality and
weaken their mentality, in con
sequence of which they are trust
ed by their employers Decause 01
good character, clear-mindedness
and safe judgment. The Port
land Journal touches on this sub
ject editorially and has the fol
lowing to say ot women as rural
mail carriers:
"According to a report ot the
postoffice department, 253 wo
ineu are now employed as car
riers on rural rnail routes, and
four or five times that number, it
I- t J .-.A n nr. f tia Ti'i.llc
'
substitute carriers. In many
cases the wives of the carriers do
the work, b.nd do it quite as w
s their husbands would. A
number of instances are on re
cord of women gting ahead wit!i
this work in the face of obsta
cles tnat would have stopped an
ordinary man. During a recent
storm in Pennsylvania a woms it
was the ouly carrier i,n hat part
of the country to start out on a
route and complete the trip. Slse
drove the entire way through
drifts and ovei almost impassible
roads and delivered the usual
quoto of mail. The postoffice de
partment points to her record 'S
one equalled by few men. Theie
have been similar instances in
this part of the country. The
wife ot a prisoner in the Mult
nomah ceuntv jail, sentenced to
death for murder, is a mail car
rier in the mountain region ot
Idaho, and though the mother of
two yomg children performs her
duty faithfully and devotes pirt
of her meager salary to an effoit
to save her unworthy husband's
life.
Fourth Assistant Superintend
ent McGraw says in his report:
"We can depend upon the wo
men to deliver the mail, no mat
ter what the condition of the
weather."

"Hello Bill."
Once again we are to see that
merry farrago of fun, "Hello
Bill," which is' announced for
presentation at the opera house
next Saturday night. There is
no necessity to tell the theatre
goers of this city anything new
regarding this most amusing: of
American comic plays. They
know all about it now and know
that it is the premier laugh get
ter of the American stage. Put to
gether on wholly legitimate lines
without a suspicion of clap trap
in its composition, Hello cill
shows what can be done in the
comedy line when put together
with the craft of a master hand.
The company this year is claimed
to be very strong and is headed
by the favorite young comedian,
Mr. John Daly Murphy. His as
sociate fun makers comprises
some of the best known names in
the comedy hemisphere and the
engagement promises to be a not
able one in every respect. 32
