WEEDING OUT.
Those who claim to be in a
position to know claim that dur
ing the past three or four
months between 50,000 and 100,
C00 men have been discharged
fcy the various railroads of the
country. Some men claim that
the figures exceed those given
above.
It is evident that there is con
certed action on the part of the
companies in letting their men
so. Whether it is a desire to
"even up" on the country gen
erally for such legislation as is
not satisfactory to railroad com
p inies is not known, but this
would hardly seem sufficient
cause for such a course. If the
railroads did not need the men
under existing conditions they
would lose money to keep them,
while if they did have use for
them they would lose money in
letting them go. Consequently
v e must assume that the com
panies are doing what is best
i!or themselves in discharging
oome of their men.
in some quarters it is claimed
tdhat this is the season of light
wark, taking the business of the
TUnited States as a whole, and
competent men will be taken
iback when the rush of work re
turns with the change of season.
In other words, it affords an ex
cellent opportunity and excuse
fiwithe various railroad compan
ies $o weed out and get rid of an
amy of incompetent men who
Brave stuck to them like leeches
Another reason assigned for dis
charging so many men is that
legislation covering and control
ling railroad passenger rates on
tthe mileage basis is yet to be
tried nd as the companies fear
ffortT&e outcome they intend to
:ut dawn every possible item of
expense.
So far as the country is con
cerned there are many things
he .discharged men can do, as
there is a scarcity of men every
where. The only trouble is that
rmen who have followed certain
callings, trades, professions, or
bus inesses for years do not like
to take up with a change of avo
cation. They do not feel like be
ginning life over, so to say.
Some men cannot adapt them
selves to changes readily, and to
;such as these to be thrown out
'Of employment works a hardship.
While iu railroad circles the
order for retrenchment stalks
everywhere it is undoubtedly in
accordance with the best judg
ment of the officials, and not, as
some might suppose, the result
of a desire to get even on the
people for their clamor for rail
road legislation. It is a money
matter wiih railroad magnates
from first to last, and than is all
.ihere is to it-
Obituary.
Joseph Taylor was born at
East Bridgeford, Nottingham
shire, England, on December 25,
1839, and died Mav 25, 1907. be
ing 67 years and 5 rmnths old.
He was apprenticed for the
t-rm of six years in the town of
Bingham at which place he re
sided after his marriage to Eliza
Ward of Redmile on Christmas
day 2.S32. He afterwards lived
in Leicester. Mr. Taylor left
-England in 1S70 going to Gard
iner, lansas, where he remained
until 1S75. He then came to Al
bany, Oregon, and from there
to Corvallis. II any buildings
still remain in the county of Ben
.ton as monuments of his labor.
Latsr he built a home four
miles southwest of Philomath
where he lived until the death of
.his wife in November 1905.
Since then he has resided with
his daughter Mrs. Jeffcott of
Portland.
Mr. Taylor left Portland on
May 2nd for a visit with his two
sons who reside at Albany,' lsJjt;
a son ana. daughter wno lrve
near Blodgett. He ; was at the
home of bis daughter" Mrs. Gel
laty at the time of ;. his i death
which occurred Saturday eve
ning about 6:30-' -
He had been ailing for several
days and Dr. Newth was called
Saturday morning. He grew
weaker and towards evening
mentioned some matters "of bus
iness to his daughter and seemed
to f el that the epd of life was
near. He was not confined to
his bed so went to take a little
walk and returning fell just a
few yards from the house where
he was found soon after. There
were no indications of a struggle
but all seemed peaceful. The
cause of death was organic heart
trouble. Kind assistance was
rendered and the remains were
conveyed to Albany on Monday's
C. & E. train, interment being
made in the city cemetery.
The following are the surviv
ing members of the family:
Mrs. W. H. Hauert, California;
Mrs. John Jeffcott and Mrs.
Lillie Kelly of Portland; J. W.
and B. W. Taylor of Albany; C
H. Taylor and Mrs. W. A. Gel-
latly near Blodgett. One little
daughter died during the resi
dence in Kansas.
In early life the deceased gave
his heart to God. He was iden
tified with christian workers
both in England and America.
He served as local deacon in the
Evangelical Association for a
numoer or. years, tie was a
loving husband and an affection
ate father proving faithful to the
end.
"Seattle Rally'
An enthusiastic Christian En
deavor rally was held at the Con
gregational church under the
auspices of the C. E. union Tues
day evening.
The speaker of the evening
was Rev. B. H. Lingenfelter of
Seattle, a member of the Inter
national C. E. Commitee, who is
spending a few days visiting the
Endeavor societies in Oregon in
behalf of the great Internation
al C. E. convention to be held in
Seattle July 10-15.
Rev. Lingenfelter proved to be
a forceful and entertaining
speaker. In the invitation he
extended from the Seattle En
deavorers there was a ring of
sincerity that made everyone
feel that his presence was de
sired at the convention.
The speaker mentioned the
beauties of Seattle and surround
ings, excursions that have been
planned, but most of all, the op
portunity to hear men of world
wide fame as an incentive to at
tendance.
At the close of the address the
audience arose and gave the
speaker the Endeavorers' salute.
A solo was sung by Rev. T. S.
Handsaker and a song by the
male chorus of the Christian
church.
At the close of the program
refreshments were served and
an informal reception given by
the local Endeavorers.
Mis Nora Miller of thia citv was
a guest of President Riosevelt at
the White House last Saturday, and
has since been viewinT the Bights

Do not be a Burden.
It is a sin to deprive oneself of eijoy
meat in life and become a burden to
others through indiye-ttion.
The backaches, headaches, distress
after eating, loss ol appetite, gulping np
of undigested food, etc., are not natural.
Mi-o-na stomach tabltts used for a few
dava before meals will so strengthen the
digestive orgms that you can eat any
thing vouwaut without fear of distress
or resulting cickness.
Graham & Wells have so much faith
in the merits of Mi-o-na that they sell it
under guarantee to refuu.il the money in
case it does not cure.
