holders Of the Corvallis creamery
company ,t was not a harmonious
gathering. From the first it. was
apparent that the minority, rep
resenting some 81, 800 of stock,
was not to be allowed voice in
the management of the enter
prise, and this caused some fric-.
ton. Mr.. Taylor, who controls;
a majority of the stock, insisted
upon naming all three Of the di-
reetors, and himself, his wife and
S. ii, Kline, were chosen. The
minority endeavored to increase
the number Of directors from
three to five, but failed to muster
the necessary votes and their mo-
ton was lost. y: However, in the
adoption of the bylaws, provi-
sion was made for an advisory
board to be chosen by-a viva yoce
vote, and Saturdays meeting was
for. the purpose OF eiecting such
advisory board. This course, Mr.
TAYLOR, seemed to think, would
in a measure. hamper the man
agement, and after rather heat
ed.session, the meeting adjourned.
sine die. Thusithe matter rests;
and prospects for going ahead
with the. enterprise are by ne
means fattering.
From the fact that Mr. Taylor
owns majority of the stock ne
is rightfully entitled to dictate'1n
a=large measure the infringement
of the co,npany's affairs, but the
minority, representing nearly
one-half of the stock, ought not to
be entirely ignored in the selec-
ton of officers and in the matter
of mapping out the company $
tpoficy. Herein is where Mr..
Taylor will doubtless discover
his error. He is b conscientious
man and there is no. grounds foa
fsupposing that zhe isactuated: BY
any sinister motives but he
should understand that if the
concern is to succeed 1t must hrsl
have the cordial support and con,
fidence of the. stockholders and
-eernnuf1ity ir1which.it is located.
From what can be learned II
|seems that the minority factien
would have been entirely satisfied
'E=had they been allowed to name
one director and there appears IS
have been no potent reason fol
refusing this request. Such CON

CONCERNING PRUNEs.


Extensive preparations are now
in progress relative to the chemls-
try of Oregon prunes, covering
such points as the best conditions
for evaporation, the composition
and food, value, and the draught
Eupon the soil.
Prof. Shaw spent considerable
time, last year, among the dryers.
He made careful observations as
| t6 the time of drying, temperature
and condition Of the fruit. The
dried prunesswere sent to the sta
ton for analysis and probably; six
weeks were spent in making the
necessary determinations.
The experiments demonstrate
that best results are obtained from
perfectly ripe fruit and that there
is loss averaging $25 per acre
in drying fruit green. The proper
temperature is from 14O degrees
| to $50 degrees and the fruit should
be drying from 26 to 80 hours. :
The station is now working on
soils and waters.

Du rlaurier's Joke-Pots.

Du Maurier has been much written
about in the press by men pretending
to be his most intimate friends though
in one or two conspicuous instances
the family of the late lamented were
rather surprised at this presumption
One of Du Maurier's institutions was a
pair of vases which he called his
Joke pots" He used to receive a
large number of contributions from
English and American friends all pur-
porting to be true and worthy Of an
illustration by him. 1 know of at
least several instances where friends of
mine have sent him texts. which he
very soon afterwards used to good ad-
vantage. AS these contributions ar
rived he threw them into one of these
Joke pots" by way of finng-a new
kind of pigeon hole Then when an
moment arrived in which he had to
scratch his head for a subject he would
dip his hand, or rather his arm, into
this lottery and fish up one contribu-
ton after the other until he found one
that might be regarded as a prize
ticket
In order that he might insure himself
against repetition he observed the
routine of never putting a contribution
back into the same Joke pot" from
which he had extracted it, but depos-
tied it in the second vase. until the
first one had been cleared Then he
attacked the second one and emptied
all the lottery slips back into the first,
and so on, daily wedding out the worth
less ones, and refreshing his memory
ac To tih0esn. host a1apfp5 +o hse r,,r
pose. The fact that these two Joke
pots We're kept SO well supplied by
friends who volunteered their contri-
buttons is in itself ample testimony to
the personal charm widely exercised by
this warm hearted master of black and
white.-Harper's Weekly

Mayor Phelan of San Francisco eX-
plains that he gave the tramping band
of unemployed 100 tickets for Stock
ton, as they told him they wanted to
get into the country and secure work
and the Mayor thought their suggestion
that Stockton would be good distrib-
uting point for them from which they
could scatter into the country a good
one. He says he had no idea the
Army was on the march" The Mayor
is simple soul if he said this much,
and the statement is given as verify in
the Stockton independent as being
quoted from an interview with Mr.. Phe
Ian in San Francisco. He admits that
some guests ARE most welcome when
they are gone That is the key to the
Mayors explanation. San Francisco
wished to be rid of her dependents and
found excuse for shipping them to the
interior towns for a people already
overtaxed to support in idleness. This
action does not do credit to Mayor Phe-
Ian. Before shipping dependents to
the country he should ascertain if
there is room and labor for them, and
send them only where they are wanted.
He admits that he did not do this.
Stockton was not notified of their COM
ing, nor asked if she would or could
care for the men. The people of Stock
ton did the best they could in their esti-
nation, and that was to get the men
cut of the city headed for Sacramento.
1t would have cost Stockton less to
have placed them on a steamer and
have returned them to Mayor Phelan
and the city of San Francisco.

NO STRANGERS THEY.

The cattlemen are once more within
our gates. There is no need to tell
them they are welcome. They know
it without telling. They have been
here before. They will come again.
1t is natural that they should, for they
like to come here. San Antonio likes
to have them within her gates. They
come for business and recreation.
They will tend to their own business
San Antonio will see that their pleas
ure is provided for. 1t is as natural
that the cattlemen of Texas and the
good people of this city should fra
ternize as that a small boy and
stick of candy should be on good
terms. The city has arranged to make
these representatives of a splendid
state industry feel at home. Her
latch string it out. Her people and
her military alike join in this well
come. Our streets bear witness of
our appreciation of their coming. 1t
will be intensified as the days of their
stay among us lengthens. The Light
only echoes the voice of the people in
bidding them heartily welcome to all
that the city has to offer for their in
structiOn and entertainment. 1t wish
es them a profitable session. 1t prays
for rain on their ranges. 1t promises
them increased prosperity under a Re-
publican protective tariff. 1t holds up
the Light to guide their steps among
the highways and byways of town.
There is not a ray of it's scintillations
that does not bless them. Here is to
the cattlemen. May you have as
hearty welcome on the otherside of
the great divide" as the Light ex-
tends to you today on behalf of San
