DEMAND FOR HoUsEs.-There has never
been such demand for houses in Corvallis
as at present. Why do not our moneyed
men erect neat cottages for rent in our
city, and thus promote the interests of the
community? A great many new buildings,
it is true, are being erected-mostly, how
ever, out in the suburbs,-and still we hear
the sa1utatien, mot vacant house to be
found" The population of Corvallis is
rapidly growing, and the laborers who are
to be employed in the carriage factory and
elsewhere the coming year, will make de.
mand for many more dwelling places than
Corvallis now affords. In order to supply
this demand, our citizens. who have money
and real estate, ought to see to it, that
these people may be Accommodated, by the
erection of cottages in the city for that pur-
pose.

+ ALBANY's BIG BRIDGE. The work Of
bridging the Willamette at Albany has
been actually commenced, the first piles
having been driven last week. The bridge
will be all steel, but it will be more than q
yard wide, and will consist of fonr spans, Of
cantilever style, which is the best that can
be bulls. These spans will be high enough
to admit the passage of hosts at any poiat.
Two are 305 feet long each, and two others
355 feet. They will rest upon steel piers.
with steel cribs surrounding the piling and
solid concrete filing at the base, surrounded
by rip rap. This, when completed, will be
the only eantifever bridge in the state.
How long will it be till Corvallis has steel

SCIENCE IN BREAD MAKING.
At the annual nseesing ss tile Asassscss

At the annual seesing ss tile Aassacad
Chemical Society, held in Washington b.
c., the question of the value of carbonate ot
ammonia as a leavening agent in bread, or
as used in baking powders came up for dis.
cussion, in which Prof. Barker, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, and President OF
the Society; DIR. Richardson, late Of the
United States Department. of Agriculture i'm
Washington; DR.. VIM. McMurtrie, late Prof.
of Chemistry in the University of Tllinoiss
DIR. E. q. Bartley, late Chemist of the
Brooklyn, n. Y, Board Of Heales, and
Prof. of Chemistry of the Long Island Coli
lege, and others took part.
The consensus of opinion was overw helm.
ing in favor of the employment of ammonia.
1t was stated as fact that ammonia render-
ed the gluten of the flour more solubrs than
the original gluten, and that the bread in
which this action was produced by carbo-
nate of amn.onia mast be more. digestibls
and hence more healthful, and because OF
the extreme volatility of carbonate of am
naonia, and It's complete expulsion from the
bread IN the process Of baking, it is one of
the most useful, most healthful and most
valuable leavening agents known.
These conclusions are borne out by the
very elabor ate and exhaustive experiments
made by Prof. J. w. Mallet, of the Uni
versity of Virginia, which show concIusively
that bread made with baking powder in
which one per cent. of carbonate OF am-
nonia is used, in connection with cream Of
tartar and soda, is not only of uniformly bet.
ser color and texture. but product more
wholesome, because the ammonia serves to
any organic or Tactic acids pre-
'ent in the -four.
