What Came OF Cutting n Man of Short
Who Had Something to Say.
1t was about ten o'clock at night and
forty or fifty passengers were in the
depot or strolling about on the plat
forms when a young man with very
long neck and very long drawl to his
voice came up to six or eight of MS who
sat on big baggage truck and said;
"Gentlemcn, there'll be man out here
presently"
"Well, what of it?" asked one of the
group.
"lIe'll ask if any of you has bottle
of whisky"
Suppose he docs?"
Don't give him any. If you do he'll
get wild and can't control him.

Yet such her sympathy divine

Feeding Coops for ChIcks.

To feed chicks so as to prevent the
fowls from securing the food, make
coop of lath, about two feet wide, four
feet long and eight inches high. A few
openings should be made for the in
gress and egress of the chicks. When
the food is placed under the coop tho
chicks will be able TO go under at will
to secure their food, while the adults
will be compelled TO look on from tho
outside.

FOR PURE FOOD.
LAUDABLE ACTION BY BOARDS OF HEALTH
UPON THE BAKING POWDER QUESTION,

Boards of health can engage in no more
commendable action than the examination
of our food supply and the instruction of the
public as to those articles which are
found to be pure and wholesome, and which.
therefore consumers should use.
Action of this kind with the baking pow
ders is particularly opportune There are
quantities OF baking powders in the mark ct
to use which is certain detriment to the
health of the consumer. They are made
from alum, or improperly compounded from
other chemicals SO that they leave strong
alkaline residuum in the food. Many OF
these powders. having proved unsaleable in
the east, have been collected by their manu-
facturers from the dealers with whom they
were left on commission, and shipped to the
Pacific coast. In the effort to gain . foot
hold in this market unscrupuious manufac-
turers of these cheaply made, low grade bak-
ing powders have indulged in extravagant
statements both with reference to their own
and other brands, claiming the most impro-
bable endorsements for theirs, and defaming
the brands best known and longest used on
the Pacific coast.
The following extracts from the reports of
some Of our well-known health authorities
will be of particular interest;
The state chemist of Washington, Prof
G. A. Bethune, says: ''There is, therefore,
no question but the Royal baking powder
is the strongest, purest and most wholesome
baking powder i'll the market.
The Seattle board of health says: Find
ing in analysis that it is made of the highest
grade of cream of tartar and bicarbonate of
soda, and is entirely free from any aduIter-
alton, we heartily recommend the Royal
baking powder for its great strength, purity
and wholesomeness.
The Tacoma board of health says Gin
our judgment, the Royal is the best and
strongest baking powder before the public.
We confidently recommend it because of its
purity and care in preparation"
| The Spokane city board of health report ::
''There is certainly no basing powder
known to us equal to the Royal for strength
and uniform quality, and we recommend it
for it's absolute purity aud wholesomeness. -
The board of health of the city of of San
| Francisco, after extended tests, said of the
| Royal that sit is absolutely pure and bealth-
full, composed of the best ingredients, Of the
highest strength and character;" The health
officer of Los Angeles reported that it was
''cleary demonstrated and proven that the
| Royal baking powder is pure and wholesome
and that 1t stands, as far as strength and
purity are concerned, at the head of the bak
ing powders of the United States;" while
the state chemist of California, Prof Rising,
found the Royal superior in strength and
purity to all other brands.

SUMNER NORMAL SCHOOL OF
METHOD.

A summer normal school of method will
be held in the state normal school building
at Monmouth, Oregon, beginning, July 18th
and continuing three and half weeks, end
ing with the quarterly county examinations,
held the second Wednesday in August.
The school will offer both a professional and
an academic course, so arranged that the
two will not conflict in periods of recitation.
The design of the academic course will be to
give an opportunity for review to those who
may desire to take the county examinations.
An additional course viii be provided tor
those wishing to take the examination for
the state diploma. And, if five or more de-
sire review with the purpose OF taking
the state life diploma, suitable arrangements
will be made for such a course. Special at
tention will be paid to this academic work /;
and the opportunity will be valuable to
those able to avail themselves of it.
The course in methods will be an unusual
ly attractive and thorough one. Studies in
Psychology, Educational Principles, and
school management will be added to practl-
cal illustrations of methods of teaching all
the common school branches. A full exhl-
bit of the work done last year under d'rec-
tion of Prof T. A. Getz IL the Ashland
public schools VIII constitute one OF the
most valuable features in the summer school
This exhibit will include work, language,
numbers, form and color, botany, geogra-
ply, and other common school branches.
The school will be in charge of a corps OF ex-
perienced teachers, who will devote their
whole time and energy to making the work
of the highest possible good to those who
attend.
The rates of tuition are made extremely
low and the price of board and lodging Is
cheaper than can be found elsewhere III the
state. Evening lectures, social entertain
ments, lawn tennis, base ball and picnic ex-
cursions will all figure in the programme
of entertainment.

SOMEWHAT IMPRovED.-The con-
dition of Mrs. Fred Schmidt, whose
attempt at suicide was noted in the last
GAZETTE, while still critical, is some
what improved and she will probably
recover. Saturday evening she gave
birth to child which lived only
fifteen hours, and was buried on Sun
day afternoon. The bullet had passed
through the child's arm and grazed the
side of it's face and head making an
ugly and, as it proved, fatal wound.

He HAD WH1sKERs.--Forty China
men left here on the local train last
night to work on the Oregon Pacific
railroad. Among the lot was an object
that one seldom sees in America-a
Chinaman with a mustache and3 a
goatee. Another celestial in explana-
ton of the whiskers said the wearer of
them was very old man and therefore
was allowed to have such ornaments
out of respect for his age. Judging
from the large percentage OF gray hairs
that grew on his face he must have
been an old man, indeed. He was so
old, in fact, that it took four coats, a
cap and a hat to keep him warm.
These Cinnamon came TO Salem by
river FROM Portland and as there were
no boats running above they had to
complete their journey by rail. They

all others completely in the shade and
make the best record yet this year.
Messrs. o. 6. Hopkins, q. Job,
Robert Huston and L. Smith went to

PREPARING FOR WoRK.-Last
Tuesday a construction train was sent
to the front on the Oregon Pacific road,
carrying 4 gang of about forty China
men and their white bosses. They are
to be employed in ballasting the road
way from Halstead clear to the end OF
the TRACK, and placing the track in Or
der, preparing the way for the COM
mencement of construction on the
eastern extension. For some time
past, a number of the engineers for
merly employed by the company have
been dropping into the city one by
one until there are now several of them
here and, although no official All
nouncement of intentions has yet been
made, yet the appearances at present
point strongly in the direction of an
early resumption of work, and 1t would
not be at all improbable that before
the lapse of many weeks, work on the
eastern extention of the Oregon Pacific
will have become an assured fact.

host Schmidt, of the Occidental hotel,
is having the partitions between the
sample rooms of his hotel torn out
making one large room, which he
intends to fit up with bar fixtures, max
ing the handsomess saloon in the city.
This will make the second new saloon
in this city this year, and it would seem
that the liquor business here must be
a good one, AS we now have eight
saloons. On the other hand, the
church people are not idle and there IS
now in course OF erection one OF the
neatest and most attractive church
edifices in Corvallis, which makes the
eighth one for our city, and the num-
Der of churches will equal the number

bly, be able to counteract ct least some OF
the influences of the former. There is
