Ex. Ice Made in Home Kitchen. The problem of producing ice in small quantities quickly and cheaply has apparently been solved by a French inventor, who has perfected a machine whith is cheap, simple of opera tion, practically everlasting and thoroughly practical. It may be operated by a belt connected with a steam engine, or a small electric motor, or by hand cranks. The invention is a rotative compression and automatic ma chine, regulating itself to all speeds, whatever may be the temperature of condensing wa ter used. The important feature is a cylinder in which the chem icals are sealed the latter not requiring renewal and lasting as long as the machine itself and which, revolving in water, pro duce the ice. . - It can also pro, duce cold air. The Germans have also a new freezing device especially adapt ed to household and field hospi tal use. It is very simple and could be manufactured for about $1. It consists merely of a double-wall tin vessel with a ca pacity of five gallons. The hol low space between 4he two walls is about an inch across. By the gradual admission of carbonic acid into this hollow space through an opening at the bot: tom and from there to the ves sel proper through a cross arm tube, it is claimed that water may be converted into ice in the space of 60 seconds, and that meats, fruits and beverages, such as! beer or wine, may be chilled or frozen in a few seconds. This effect is produced by the sudden great reduction of temperature caused by the rapid expansion of the carbonic acid, which is admitted from an ordinary car bonic acid reservoir. FOR CHICKEN LICE The Best Louse-killer on the Market The following ingredients, properly combined, form the best known remedy for lice on chickens. It is applied by dusting cn the feathers, and also placing in a box where the fowls may dust themselves with it: Naphtha Sulphur " Tobacco Dust Lime " Bran or Shorts The above will be put up to order at Graham & Wells Drug Store. 55 tf TIM f - r I -lit ' af Tirmi ilV WRITE The School that Places L OREGON CHERRY PIES A New York Pie Factory Buying Royal Annes by the Carload. Two new elements have enter ed into the local cherry market, says a Salem dispatch. ' The Holmes Canning Company jof Portland has commenced buy ing in competition with the local cannery and a lai ge pie factory in New York City is buying tons of Salem cherries for its use. The entrjr of the Holmes, Can ning company into this field dis credits the old story that Oregon canneries agreed not to invade each other's territory. The New York pie factory is .said to be the largest institution of the kind in the world. It makes nothing but pies and sup plies this staple article of Ameri can trade to all cities within reach of the metropolis. Thous ands of pies are made every day. The colnpany has arranged with Tillson & Co. of this city to pack Oregon Royal Anne cherries in barrels. 1 he cherries are stem med and then pitted, an auto matic pitting machinebeing used for that purpose. : A ton and a half of cherries can be pitted by one machine in lOIiburs. . The pitted cherries are packed in syrup in 50-gallon barrels and will be shipped to the pie factory in carload lots. As the pie man ufacturers use immense quanti ties of fruit they can use a bar rel of cherries before the fruit will spoil after the barrel is op ened. The factory could use several barrels of cherries a day if the fruit were to be had. Next year arrangements will be made to supply the New York pie fac tory with larger quantities of the Oregon fruit and an effort will -be-maxJe toindUee thman-J ufacturers to prick into the cov er of the pie the words "Oregon Cherry Pie." A-Y-P EXPOSITION. Uncle Sam Will Take Part An Appropriation Made. Now that the United States government has made a $600, 000 appropriation for participa tion in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition the work of creating the .1909 fair has been given an impetus. While there has never been any doubt in the minds of the management as to the suc cess of the exposition and as to its being ready on time, the gov ernment's action has stimulated morenterest in the fair through-, out the country. . During the past week applica tions for concessions and exhibit space have been pouring into the offices in the Administration building. The construction work WIW & BUSINESS COLLEGE WASHINGTON AND TENTH STREETS - PORTLAND. OREGON FOR CATALOG You in a Good Position has gone ahead without any ces sation and there are nine build ings finished or under construc tion:--.- The government architects are: working on the plans for Uncle Sam's buildings and just as-soon as the designs are finish ed, construction will be started. Of the total appropriation $250, 000 will be spent in the build ings. Besides the main govern ment building, , there will be structures for Hawaii, Alaska, the Philippines and the fisheries industry. The remaining $350, 000 will be expended for exhibits as follows: Government, $200, 000; Alaska, $100,000; Hawaii, $25,000; Philippines, $25,000. SPIRITUALISTS IN CAMP At' New Era Large Attendance -, and Interesting Speakers. . The 1908 session of the Spirit ualist camp meeting at New Era opened Sunday with an eloquent address by Harrison D. Barrett, ex-president of the National As sociation. It was one of the fin est efforts of this gifted speaker. Art instructive and entertaining lecture by W. J. Colville follow ed,, and Henry E. Howes, of London, England, gave a short but interesting talk upon "The Law of Friendship." Psychic demonstrations -by Mr. Howes and Mrs. Finnican closed the exercises of the day. -iNext Sunday Messrs. Colville and Howes will occupy the ros trum. The music is. of a high order, both vocal and .instrumental, and the camp is well filled, the attendance beinglafger than ever before in its history, i There, will be a literary and niteical niertairj meju Wpiu. the evening of July 21st, and Wo man's day on July 23rd. Every day is full of interest nature study, choral drill, conference, circles, games, dancing and a stearr. merry-go-round for the young people. And air this under the grand old trees, in one of "God's first temples." A NEEDED LAW. Cows and Horses Must not Graze on the Streets. An ordinance passed by the city council this week prohibits the staking out of horses or cat tle upon the public streets of this city, under a penalty of from $5 to $50 fine or imprisonment. This is a wise regulation and has long been needed. A great deal of damage has been done in the past to gardens, lawns and sidewalks, owing to this practice. Corvallis has grown to a size where she is authorized to put on metropolitan airs, to some extent at least, and this is a standing regulation in all the cities. There are some other ordi nances needed and they must come soon; for instance provid ing for inspection of milk, but ter, meats and vegetables, elec cric wiring, etc. If we are going to have a sure enough city, give us all the trimmings. Corvallis' growth the past two years, in both the business and residence sections, has been re markable, and there is talk of paving Main street and making other needed inprovements. In case all plans are carried out, Corvallis bids fair to become one of the prettiest and neatest of Willamette Valley cities.

Origin of tho Doleful Messages From the Baker. A story told by Dr. Robertson Nicoll in the British Wekly of the man who saw in a dream his ovrd epitaph written upon a tombstone recalls the shocks and thrills which the good people of Reading expert enced when that-v Berkshire town was younger. Mysterious messages were conveyed to the townspeople, inscribed upon their bread. One old lady found upon the bottom of jjer loaf a death's head and cross bones. So terrified was she at what she regarded as a terrible omen that she took to her bed and died. An other person found on his bread the words "Died Sept. 20," with the year fortunately missing, while to a third came the word "Resurgam." This latter cryptic message was sub mitted to a wise man, who inferred that nothing occult -was implied, but that it was the baker's way of politely intimating that bread might rise in price. These and like mys teries threw the whole town into a panic. . Light came unexpectedly. The first step carried the investigators to the hallowed acre about St. Giles' church; the second led them to a baker's oven. Alterations at the church .had necessitated the nemo v al of several large 'tombstones of a date too ancient to admit of their being claimed by kinsfolk 1 of the dead. Now, the church warden at the time was the town's chief baker, and he looked with longing upon those fine flat stones, for his oven sadly needed a new bottom. The desire to possess them grew irresist ibly .upon him, and, winking at scruples and parochial duty, he at last carried the treasures at dead of night to his bakehouse. There they were built into the oven. But,, as murder will out, so will graven me morials of the dead. The stones were accidentally fixed with their inscription upward to print their story Jipon the bread which the un juparpateward baked and sold. ' ' "" "r'. - Where Everything Grows. The tuberose flourishes amazingly in- the open air in the Transvaal with but the smallest attention and cultivation. The bulbs shoot up their three or four foot stems, each bearing very sweet smelling flowers in an incredibly short space of time. In Pretoria roses are prolific in fact, most of the streets are bound ed by rose hedges throughout their length and they bloom with a frail, pink monthly rose blossom for three-quarters of the year. In pub lic places, such as the park, the pro fusion of roses, lilies, carnations and tuberoses is bewilderingly beauti ful. - Uhe wild orchids of Swaziland are famous. They are of at least twenty different kinds. They are extremely curious, and with a little care and extra heat they can be inr duced to develop into very wonder ful plants. Everything grows in the Transvaal if the trouble is taken to plant it. Birds as Ventriloquists. Many birds form their .sounds without opening their bills. The pigeon is a well known instance of this. Its cooing can be distinctly heard, although it does not open its bill. The call is formed internally in the throat and chest and is rendered audible only by resonance. Similar ways may be observed in many birds and other animals. The clear, loud call of the cuckoo, ac cording to one naturalist, is the resonance of a note formed in the bird. The whirring of the snipe, which betrays the approach of the bird to the hunter, is an act of ven triloquism. Even the nightingale has certain notes which are pro duced internally and which are au dible while the bill is closed. An Ugly Toad. . All toads are accounted ugly, but the most hideous of all perhaps is that of Surinam, with its flat and triangular head, unusually short neck and specially flat body. Its eyes are very small and are of an olive . tir.t, spotted with red. Yet the parental instincts of these crea ture" are as kind in their way as tho'--e of the most beautiful animals in- creation. The female in dee course having laid her-eggs, the male toad picks them up and de posits them on her horny back, when shf. immediately starts for the nearest marsh and immerses herself and the embryotic brood in the semi-liquid mud, where she re trains until they are hatched. 71 How the Inventor cf the King Drag Discovered His Method. J). Ward Kins of Maitkiad. Mo, In ventor of the Kins method of road dragging, has a ttuwy wliivh practice has demonstrated to fce correct. It is that all clay and g;nubo romta .Should be dragged with a light dr;:g after each rain or wet spell. The drag smooths down the rough places and tills up the ruts. When the sun dries up the road it leaves a roadbed as smooth and per fect as a city street. The discovery of this method and tha more Important discovery of Mr. King were largely accidental. Years ago ho lived on a small but well Improved farm near Maitland. lie was not par ticularly interested in the gj.d road movement as a national or state issue, but' the four miles of road from hia farm to Maitland were of great interest to him, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat The road was of that soft, sticUyi red clay that in wet weather clings to the wagon wheels in great lumps and dry weather is as hard as a roeS and' almost as injurious to wag:)n tires. Passing wagons in wet weather would dig deep ruts, and when the ro.id dried up the ruts would .remain. At best the road was very poor. Many times when wheat was selling at a good price and' Mr. King had many bushels of it the road would be so bad that he could not haul it to the market, and wheu the road finally became passable the market would be low again. - After many experiments he con structed a small, light drag, using two old timbers connected with light strips, and began to drag the road in front of, his residence. After each rain he would run the drag over it, and wher the sun came out and the road dried' up it was in perfect condition. When' he began to drag the road many , of his neighbors told other neighbors that King was crazy. Others told King himself that he was crazy. Other who did not say anything believed he was crazy. But the experiments proved! that King's method was successful,! and he extended his operations until! he was dragging all the road in front of his farm. His neighbors took it up,: and in a few months the road from hia farm to Maitland was as good as anyi In Missouri. I George B. Ellis, secretary of the stata board of agriculture, heard of Mr King's good roads methods and invited! him to speak- at the farmers', institute) in his neighborhood. He accepted, andj being an enthusiast on the subject, hoi made several converts. He was en-i gaged for a series of lectures and ha turned over his farm to others and Im devoting all of his time to preaching the gospel of good roads. Good roadsi meetings have been held in various parts of Missouri and hundreds of con- verts have been made. After every) rain in Missouri hundreds of farmers drag the roads in front of their farms,,' and the number of these volunteer, road workers is increasing every week4 Odorless and Dustless Roads. Consul T. H. Norton, writing to tha state department from Chemnitz, Ger-; many, says that a Saxon firm has in-i troduced a road binding composition! which has been tried on the macadam ized streets of Leipzig and other places with much success. The material ia thus described: j It is a mixture of the heavier resid-' ual oils obtained in the distillation 06 coal tar with high boiling hydrocar bons. The method of mixing apparent- ly involves a certain degree of chem-i leal combination, in which phenol and' similar constituents play a role. The manufactured material is prepared fori use by heating in iron caldrons, iden- tical with those used for asphalt, to temperatures ranging from 212 to 24S' degrees F. (100 to 120 C). It is then sprayed evenly over the surface of w roadway with a special form of ap paratus and under such high pressure; that the fluid mass penetrates to a cer tain distance into the upper layer ofj dust or dirt. The result is the forma tion of a compact lustrous black coat-; Ing which meets the demands of heavy traffic and is not disintegrated Into, dust particles. A marked advantage ofj the new process over the methods hith-j erto employed for the same purposei and based upon the use of ordinary tar is the total absence of odor after the application. J A Great Undertaking. ' To promote the building of improved roads in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah,; Montana, Idaho, New Mexico and Ari zona and make accessible the wonder ful natural scenery throughout the ter ritory along the eastern base of tho Rocky mountains the Rocky Mountain Highway association has been Incor porated at Denver by Gerald Hughes, Harold Kouutz and Charles A. John son. Membership in the organisation; is open to any one interested in the good roads -movement, and it is report ed that already a large number of prominent Cc'.TPdo r-if!i'er;." have sig nified their iuieutiou 01 juliiin. Tha money for . carrying out the plans of the associativ will be derived through private subscriptions and through str.t ; and municipal aid. It is hoped that through the efforts of this association there will eventually be constructed a chain of good roads joining all points of interest throughout this section. j ROAD DRAGGING.
