A PRINCELY TIP.
John D. Rockefeller has again
given a striking evidence of his
liberality by making a waiter,
who served him at dinner in New
Brunswick, New Jersey, the mu
nificent tip of five cents, accom
panying the gift with the sage
advice to put the money in a sav
ings bank. While there has noc
yet been any report thatStand
ard Oil has advanced a notch, it
is certain that the people will be
required to make up for the do
nation and when John D begins
the erection of that marble palace
in Queen Anne Gate, where he
hopes to hobnob with London
swelldom, it is possible that he
may regret squandering, that
nickel. Collis P. Huntington
once made a similar gift of three
cents to a seeming tramp, w ho
applied to him for the price of a
meal, and he told the party to buy
'"sinkers" with the coppers, as
they were filling. Chickens al
ways come home to roost, so the
former Southern Pacific magnate
found to his cost, for the poor
chap proved to be a shrewd rail
road promoter, down on his up
pers at the time, and it took just
three millions of unpaid dividends
for i he S. P. to afterwards secure
control of a little Arizona branch
line which the hungry beggar
had cinched. It does not always
pay to give too lavishly, nor to
hand out advice with one's giv
ing. MUST OBSERVE NEW LAW.
Although many, if not all the
candidates, for President of the
Senate or Speaker of the House
may not be aware of the fact, yet
their campaigns for election come
within the regulations of the cor
rupt practices act adopted by the
people last June.
Section 10 of the act specifical
ly provides that the term "public
office" shall apply to the presid
ing office of either branch of the
Legislature. Such candidates
would not, however, be bound
by section 8 of the act, limiting
campaign expenditures, for that
section applies only to a candidate
"who has received the nomina
tion to a public office." But they
are apparently subject to the pro
visions of section 19 of the act,
which forbids, directly or indi
rectly promises of appointment
to any position of honor, trust or
emolument.
Under this regulation it will be
dangerous for aspirants for pre
siding offices to promise commit
tee chairmanships, by means of
which these contests have fre
quently been decided in the past.
They are also bound to the
terms of section 26, which pro
hibits treating, with the hope of
influencing votes, and by seccion
37, which makes ' it unlawful to
become a candidate for the pur
pose of defeating another candidate-and
not with a bona fide in
tention to obtain the office. The
section relating to promises of
appointment is apparently the
one that applies most directly to
the contest for the Speakership
and the Presidency of the Senate.

AX INTENTIONAL SLIGHT
Working for Waterways.
Representative Hawley, of this
state, has started in at the be
ginning of the Congressional
session to land everything he
can for Oregon, especially in the
matter of rivers and harbors im
provement. Not only will he
work for all the projects indorsed
in the report of the chief of en
gineers, but for rivers and har
bors along the Coast, and he
feels reasonably confident of get
ting appropriations for Coos
Bay, Tillamook Harbor and
Siuslaw, as recommenced in the
special report of the engineers.
He will also undertake to per
suade the rivers acd harbors
Benton Coiinty Ignored By
Portland Papers.
It is a well known fact that
Corvalhs and Benton county are
always intentionally slighted or
openly misrepresented" by the
Portland papers whenever an
opportunity is offered, but no
more marked illustration of this
utterly uncalled for antipathy
could possibly be found than the
description given by the Pacific
Northwest, a Portland farm jour
nal, of the trip recently made by
the Southern Pacific demonstra
tion train through the Willam
ette Valley.
This train, as is universally
known, was prepared and fitted
out at Corvallis. Its prominent
demonstrators were nearlyif not
all from OAC at Corvallis, at
which point it stopped over one
night, but in all the write up of
the trip, occupying several pages
and exhaustively describing the
442 miles covered, the 27 prin
cipal agricultural centers stopped
at and the resources of the sec
tions passed through, not one
single mention in the entire ar
ticle is made of either Corvallis
or Benton county.
This might be passed over as
a matter of forgetfulness on the
part of the writer who accompa
nied the train, were it not for
the fact that every other stop
and all the different counties in
the Valley were given prominent
mention.
Such a spirit is too narrow for
impartial criticism and well de
serves the contempt of every res
ident of Benton countv.

varieties popular with western orchardists
such as apple (chiefly the unexcelled 1
year). Peach, Pear, Cherry, Apricot, Plum,
Small Fruits, etc , and we want your or
der whether for one Stark Tree or one
million. Write for our Stark Fruit Book.
Stark Delicious Apple
is a wondrous success, and solely
on its genuine merit is the most
talked of apple today. This is what
one of the greatest commision
houses in the country says of it:
"Last year we secured one carload of Del
icious from Washington and placed them
in small lots in Chicago and large Eastern
cities at 40 per cent more in price than oth
er varieties we handled at that time. Who
ever had them last year, have repeatedly
asked for them this year before our supply
arrived. This year we are selling Delicious
at 50 per cent more than Jonathan, Grimes
Golden, Rome Beauty, Alexander, etc.
They are just what particular people want
in a fine table apple, being neither too sweet
nor too spur, a fine looker and have good
keeping qualities. We unhesitatingly(say we
consider it the best all round apple, espec
ially for table use, and in our estimation
Delicious should head the list of all apples. ' '

"100 7 year old Delicious trees in the Blackmail or
chard, Kittitas Co., Washington, are bowed to the
ground with t'ueir fruit and this year, when prices
are low, turned a revenue to the owner of $2000.09
Eight years ago this land could have been purchased
for a trifle. Today S3GQ0.00 per acre would not buy
it. Stark trees make land fabulous in value."
We have 1,250,000 Delicious trees
this year hardly enough to supply
the demand. How many do you
want? Better order early.
Have you tasted this royal fruit?
If not, we will send a box of 3 specimens on re
ceipt of 25 cents to pay partial express charges.
(No charge is made for the fruit). The 25 cents we
will refund to you on the first order of trees sent
