FACTORY INSPECTION.
; Our Ifiugene neighbors seein
to have an epidemic of burglary,
house breaking, and safe-blow
ing,- all of which occulted ' Fri
day night. " They took clothing,'
jewelry, silverware, " and nearly
everything of value they could
find. They also blew open the
safe of Mr. L. N. Roney. It
might be well to' organize avigi
lance committee to look after
these gentlemen of the road. If
one or two men were strung up
it would have a wholesome ef
fect on the balance and perhaps
rid the countrv of such people.

"Advertising Oregon" is the
title of a page in "Printers' Ink"
of July 8th, one of the most wide
ly known of advertising journals.
And it is no wonder that the
state's work along these lines has
attracted this attention, for no
portion of America is circulat
ing the attractive literature that
burdens the mails of Oregon ev
ery day in the year. Now that
the colonist rates will be in effect
every citizen of the state should
feel it his duty to advertise the
fact in his personal correspond
ence, to send information about
his community to eastern ac
quaintances and to aid in every
possible way the commercial or-
' to increase the state's popula
tion. "
W. B. Chance, Deputy Com
missioner arid Factory Inspector
of Albany, was in Corvallis Tues
day inspecting the machinery
of the various manufacturing
plants of the town. . Perhaps
few of our- people ' realize that
there is a state law compelling
all parties owning - and,. opera
ting machinery to use every pre
caution possible to protect the
operator ' against danger. Our
courts have ruled "that the mas
ter must provide a reasonably
Bafe place for the servant," and
failing to do so, he becomes lia
ble for any damage that may oc
cur." If you put a hired' man to
work with a wild or vicious team,
knowing them to be such, without-Warning
him of "the possU
bility ot "danger you are clearly
liable, but if forewarned and by
contributory negligence you get
hurt you have no recourse. Ihe
legislature undertakes to guard
this question more closely and
hence the appointment of s state
inspector for all kinds of machinery.

Two years ago some of our citi
zens decided that an Independ
ent Telephone System was abso
lutely necessary to keep pace
with the growing1 spirit of the
times and organized what has
now proved to be . one of the
largest and most important sys
tems on the Pacific Coast.1
, ! Wheri the plant was organized
Mr DeVarney - installed a 200
line switch board, saying at the
time that it would be. sufficient
for 10 or 15 years. Little did
he dream of the rapid growth
and bright prospects of the fur
ture of the town, for from the
time; the plant was started
it has never been able ' to
keep up with the demands made
upon " it notwithstanding ' the
fact that they have kept adding
from time to time until the pres
ent plant is now. loaded to its
full capacity. Not another line
can be added to the present
plant. It has been a paying in
vestment from the start.
While it is connected with '.
the general system with Mr. A. j
L. Titus as the general manager,
yet the Corvallis Independent
Company retains its individuals
ty and is controlled by our own
citizens "being the only one in
the state thus honored which
was done to give Corvallis the
honor of establishing the sys
tem. ! In order to meet the growing
demands the company is now
looking for a site on which to
erect a new and commodious
building where they can" install
a new plant with all the' latest
and most improved methods oi
transmission. The switch board
will be materially increased and
when the new plant is installed
the sound will play upon the list
ening' ear with sweet melody
like the delicate touch of an ot-
: We are assured that the plans
for the new improvements will
be pressed on rapidly as pos
sible and when completed you
will be amply repaid for any in
convenience you have had in
