CORVALLIS TO THE FORE.
At present everything indi
cates that Carvallis will soon
have in fqperation another rail
road. 7 Details will be found on
another page in this issue. The
road proposed will tap one of
the richest timber belts in this
section of the state and will tra
verse a most fertile agricultural
and dairying country.
It appears the project on hand
is a splendid business enterprise.
With the timber back of it the
enterprise need not go begging
nor fear the outcome. No place
could be more favorable when
considered from the standpoint
of transportation facilities purely
than is Corvallis. The Southern
Pacific R. R. has this city as a
terminus for the West Side di
vision from Portland and the
Corvallis ' & ' Eastern passes
through the city on its course
east and west from Yaquina
Bay' to Idanha in the Cascade
mountains. '
From this it will be seen that
we 1 have direct rail communica
tion with, the great metropolis
of Oregon and also with Ya
quina Bay, and from either
place vessels carry lumber and
commodities, to the markets of
the world. This is good, but
it is not all by any means, when
considering transportation mat
ters. ' Should anything befall a
lumbering industry with head
quarters in Ccrvallis wherein
the railroads woaid seak an ad
vantage we have the Willamette
river which will act as a gover
nor. - Corvallis is practically
the head of navigation on the
Willamette and a lumbering
enterprise bringing its output to
thiscity can make suitable terms
for transportation or else float
logs and lumber down the river.
Should capital see iU way
clear to erect large mills in Cor
vallis it would be a spier, . id Ihing
for the city, as it would add just
so much more to the pay roll.
The road if built, and it certainly
looks as though it was a go, will
benefit the city immensely in the
way of property values. It will
do much for the property
tnrough the section it traverses.
This is certain to result.
During the last few years this
city seems to have taken on new
life. Many good, substantial im
provments have been made in
various wars and places, both of
a public and private character.
In the way of city residences
the recent growth has been little
short of phenomenal, and it will
ba hard to find a city of the size
of Corvallis with,, more beautiful
homes than we ; possess. The
improvements in the business
section of the city are keeping
fully abreast of- the times and
during the pasf twelve months
t he aspect of this part of town
has undergone a change as sub
stantial as it has been amazing.
Good substantial and artistic
bricks hass. been and is yet the
slogan.1
To give some slight idea of
the. character cf our private
citizens and business men it is
only necessary to add that the
committee having the work in
hand were only six days in secur
ing subscriptions in excess of
30,000 for the new railroad.
When a town and county have
progressive citizens no fear need
be felt for the future. Come to
Corvallis or any part of Benton
county and see for yourself all
ye skeptics. Come, don't take
our word for it, but come.
Big Convention Ended.
, The great international Chris
tian Endeavor convention at
Seattle has come to a close. It
was the greatest in the history oi
he society. Concerning the
neeting Tuesday- Oregonian
sayi: . - - ; . " ' :"
Sotne ' remarkable speeches
were made daring the sessions,
not tb least interesting being that
of an Alaskan Indian," who made
a vigorous plea .that . the United
States Government should "not
segregate his people on reserva
tions. v ,- - ' . '' ' ' .
"A renewed ioipetas was given
the society's plan for an interna
tional building to be erected at
8 -ston, when largely attended
meetings were held this afternoon
and the financing of the building
proposition taken no. - A large
stock subscription is being made,
and from prejsent prospects
the necessary $500,000 ''will', be
raised in five yeais. -
"In contrast to the threatened
deficit faced by the local conven
tion committee two weeks ago is
the situation today, the , fund
oversubscribed and olentv of
money is in the treasury."
BOYCOTT DECLARED.
Merchants Join in Movement to
Force Railroad to Act.
Exasperated beyond the limit
of endurance by the repeatedly
broken promises ot the Harriman
railroad. Lane county merchants
have decided to boycott the
Southern ' Pacific lines and to
have freieht shipped over com
peting lines from the Bast.
Wednesday's Oregonian tells a
story in a dispatch from Eugene
winch. says:
About 70 Eugene merchants
today wrote Eastern wholesale
houses to route all their freight
in the fu.ure over some other
than the Harriman lines. The
Merchants' Protective Associa
tion has appointed a committee
to investigate the best way ' ot
rout'." freisnt from the East and
to mi'ke known ,ta the Railroad
Commij'ioi til? plan, so that
freight iUip jzd ovzr competitive
lines will not be held up by
the Southern Pacific when it ar
rives in Portland. L
This move on the part of the
association, Which includes in its
membershio. with the exceDtion
ot- tour or five au the merchants
Qf Eugene, is the -last resort in
the endeavor to bring the South
ern Pacific to a fulfillment of
pome of their promises to the
people of Ejgene," especially in
the matter of the establishment
of a local passenger service that
will permit the people of the Mo
hawk Valley and: other near
points to make the trip to Eugene
and return in one day. This is
the immediate cause of this move
on the part of the merchants, al
though there are other unfulfilled
promises of long standing that
have helped to break the patience
of the business men and citizens
of Eugene.
The ireight receipts of the
company at this prints are about
$1000 per day, the bulk of which
is paid by the merchants, and of
this amount "a considerable per
centage is for the long haul. But
the merchants will not be alone in
the matter of routing freight over
other lines, for a committee will
work among the citizens far the
purpose of turning all possible
freight from the Harriman lines,
whether it be merchandise,
household goods or any other
commodities.
While-this is at the present
purely a local move, it 'may be
more thoroughly organized and
other communities near Eugene
asked to join" in the endeavor to
get some of the long-drawn-out
promises' fulfillment.'

The Albany Herald of Wednesday con
tained, the following, which indicates
that the Railroad Commission of Oregon

mission regarding the alleged inadequate

tbe commission made an order requiring
the Southern Pacific company to erect a
new and modern depot in this city with
the tracks on the side opposite the pas
senger platform. This is to replace the

If any Easterner now residing in Cor
vallis wishes 4to be reminded, of his old
home back in Illinois or Iowa, he should
take a stroll down North Main street and
and get a glimpse of a patch of corn tbat
is growing in Minor S wink's garden. It
is not the stutoted, "uneasy" looking
variety that is frequently seen in Oregon,
but a strong flourishing kind that waves
its broad blades in the sun and rustles a
message to the old- time resident of the
"corn belt, ay back home." --

Verdict for Dr. Pierce
AGAINST THH " -'!'
Ladles' Home Journal.
Sending truth after a He. It Is an old
maxim .that "a lie will travel seven
.leagues while truth Is getting its boots
on," and no doubt hundreds of thousand;
of good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon Dr.'R. V.Pierce
and his " Favorite Prescription publ isheo
In the May (1004) number of the Ladies'
Home Journal, with its great black dls
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 ot
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 defamatorj
matter wipr the Intent of Injuring hit

These facts were also proven in tue thai .i

business ot Dr. Pierce was ereatly injured : v
the publication of the libelous article wr.h
Its great display headings, while hundreds of
.thousands who read the wickedly defamatory
article never saw the humble groveling re
traction, set in small type and made as incon
spicuous as possible. The matter was. how
ever brought before a Jury in the Supreme
Court of New York State which prompfly
rendered a verdict in the Doctor's faor.
Thus his traducers came to grier. and thail
