The temporary increase of water sup ply should not blind our eyes to the necessity of a storage reservoir. The necessity is emphasized by the cling of relief that fills this valley today as the result of the recent rains
Arizona republican., 1900-08-21

The plans for water storage continue to multiply. Unless we can settle upon one and push it we might as well give
 up the idea. At the coming mass meet
 ing this thought should be kept upper
 most. The Republican will support any
 plan that has the promise of success.

Surgical Operation.

On last Thursday Drs. Pernot
and Cathey, of this city, and DR..
Newth, of Philomath, operated on
Miss Dixon, daughter of William
Dixon, who lives three miles south
of Philomath, removing ebout 81
quarts of ascytic fluid from the
abdomen and a multilocular ova-
rian tumor nearly as large as a
mans head. The tumor was ad-
hered by infammatory action to
the omentum intestine and abdom-
inal wall anteriorly, laterally on
the right side, and posteriorly.
This. adherent condition added ma
terially to the formidability of the
operation. The contents of the
tumor being gelitinous could not be
removed TO lessen the size of the
tumor so as to give more room for
the necessary manipulation to break
up the adhesions, consequently all
separations had to be done by feel
ing and not by sight.
The patient survived the opera
ton and up to the present writing
seems to be doing well.

The New Postoffice.

Several months ago the citi.
zens of the southern part of Ben.
ton county circulated petition
for signers praying the govern.
| lnerlt for the establishment of q
postofice between Corvallis aud
Monroe. Said Office was to be
located twelve miles south OF
Corvallis and six miles north OF
Monroe, said Office to be known
by the name of "Bruce." The
authorities deemed it fitting to
establish the office but on ac-
count of some misunderstanding
on their part there is no pro-
vision for carriers pay. Ac-
cording to rules and regulations
the carrier is entitled to two
thirds of the income of the office
thus established, and in this case
nobody could be induced to take
the job at the pay thus derived.
Mrs. A. R. Norwood was ap-
pointed post1nistress at Bruce.
The idea was to secure a daily
mail route between this city and
Monroe, Corvallis to be the dis
tributing office. In order to
gain their point, or at least fully
apprise the authorities of the
present condition of affairs, A.
R. Norwood had another peti-
ton drawn up a few days ago
and was very successful in secur-
ing signers. It is desired to
have the mail carried between
Corvallis and Monroe, via Bruce,
and have the carrying of the
mail between these points let in
the usual way, by contract, to
the lowest responsible bidder.
This is a want long felt by the
citizens of Southern Benton and
if they are successful with their
petition it will be a great con-
venience to 2, 800 or 5000 peo-
pie.
The Office paraphernalia ar
rived a short Itime ago and the
new office. would have been
opened at once had it not been
TOR the fact that there were no
keys for the mail sacks which
were sent. As it is, the route
was put in operation yesterday.
Toney Hansen, of Five Rivers,
has been hired by the citizens
to carry the mail for the present,
pending the action of the author
tiles at Washington, D. c.

Stolen Wheel Recovered.

Last spring Frank Vanhousen
bought a new Dilley bicycle, and
three days later rode it out on a
fishing trip to Henkle creek beyond
Philomath. When he had con-
cluded his days sport, he ap-
preached the log where he left his
wheel, but it was gone, and a most
thorough search failed to reveal its
whereabouts. Later in company
with T. w. Dilley and others, search
was again made, but to no purpose.
Last week, Mr.. Marsh Allen, who
has been doing considerable haul
ing past the spot where the wheel
was stolen, told Mr.. Dilley that
there was a wheel hanging in a
tree, which he believed was the
missing bicycle. Sunday, Bert
Vanhousen and Dilley went to the
place indicated and found the lost
wheel suspended from the limb of a
tree, about 25 feet from the ground.
It was safely lowered to the ground,
and aside from being trife rusty,
was as good as the day it was
stolen.

Raymond will attend the New
York College of Pharmacy of that
city, while Fred will stop at Ithaca,
N. Y, at which place he will enter
Cornell University.
Next Saturday evening the cam

stirring address by Hon. Binger
Hermann. Mr.. Hermann was for
fourteen years representative from
this district in congress, and is now
commissioner of the general land
office at Washington. Coming as
he does, direct from the capital
where he had an opportunity to OBJ
serve at short range the many per-
picking problems that have con-
fronted the present administration,
he is in position to give much in

ent and forceful talker and has the
ability to entertain as we'll as in
struct. A program has been ar
ranged for the occasion, and club
organization will be perfected.
Everyone is invited to be present,

BURNED TO DEATH.
James McLain Is Burned to Death While
Working Near Phi1omath.

News to the effect that James
McLain had burned to death
reached Corvallis Sunday. From
what is learned it appears that
James McLain was helping to
operate the fruit drier of his
brother, Samuel McLain, the
drier being located a little less
than a mile southwest of Philo-
inath. James McLain and his
helper, Mr.. Kitson, had gone on
duty at IL O'Clock Saturday
night and a little after S o'clock
Sunday morning Mr.. Kitson left
to 60 to breakfast and attend to
some other duties. The heat In
the furnace room registered 154
degrees at the time of his de-
parture. Shortly after 6 a. m.
Samuel McLain arrived at his
drier and found his brother James
lying with his head and shoulder
against the heated furnace, be-
ing slowly consumed by the in
tense heat. He was dead when
first discovered. He was lying
on his back, and everything in
dicated that he had fallen back
ward down the slight incline
leading to the furnace door.
Whether he was knocked insen-
sibie by the fall is not known.
but, as he was subject to attacks
of epilepsy, it is thought that he
experienced one of these fits and
fell against the furnace and in
his unconscious and helpless state
was burned to death.
James McLai1l was about o3
years of age and never had been
married. He was a native of
Ohio and has been a resident of
Oregon for nearly 80 years, the
greater part of this time having
been spent in Benton county.
In disposition he was quiet and
unassuming and had many other
manly traits of character that ell
deared him to everyone.
Deputy District Attorney E.
R. Bryson and Coroner S. N.
Wilkins were notified of the
death and went out and investi-
gated the features OF the case.
They found everything i'll ac-
cordance with the facts above
stated.
The remains were inferred at
TO a. IN. yesterday i'll the Hen
kle graveyard, On Greasy.

O. A. G. Affairs.

At the o A O there is con-
siderable work being done pre-
paratory to the opening of the
school year, September 24th.
The gymnasium is nearly
ready for use and by the time
the students arrive everything
will have been placed according
to the most approved and, up-to-
date plans. This work has been
under the personal supervision
of Profs. Prichard and Phillips
and has been most critically car
ried out:
There has been much unex-
pected delay in securing the
granite sand for the completion
of the new college walk. This
sand has been ordered from
Southern Oregon and they seem
very slow down there about fill
ing the order. This delay has
been the cause of much annoy
ance to those who have this work
in charge. It has also caused a
great deal of telegraphing.
Prof. Crawford is expecting a
good attendance this year and
his. expectations are based on
the large demand for informa-
ton regarding the GA c and
the vast number of catalogues
he has mailed to persons who
have solicited them.
The, Freshmen classes will be
examined Friday and Sa .urday,
September 2Ist and 22nd.

Drying Prnf1es.

Everything is hustle and sti
at the big prune orchard north o
town. Picking has only com
menced and only about twenty
persons ale employed at present.
Ten cents per bushel is the price
paid, for picking, but later on
this will probably be reduced to
five cents, the usual price. The
prunes are of unusual size and
quality. and Manager johnson
Estates that at least fifty acres OF
trees will bear full crop.
What the total yield will be in
the orchard of I56 acres can only
be conjectured, but it will be
very large, and at least a month
will be consumed in drying.
Park Mcdonald is head engi-
neer and the pumps, fans, dip
pers, graders and all other ma
chinery incident to a big dryer are
kept working away like clock
work. Many visitors inspect
the workings of the plant, and
the number last Sunday would
have done credit to a small ex-
position.
A feature which attracts much
attentioa is the dipper. Mana
ger johnson explains that the
skin of an Italian pruf1e is tough,
and as it is necessary in the
process of drying that this skin
shall burst in order that the
moisture within may evaperate,
something must be done to rem
der the skin tender. Expert
ence has taught that the proper
plan is to dip the prunes in boil
ing lye water and rinse off in
clear water before it goes to the
dryer. This is usually done by
placing few prunes in wire
basket and dipping them by
hand, a process which is slow
and unsatisfactory. Mr.. Fred
Oberer has called into play his
inventive genius, and the result
has been an automatic dipper
which is marvel. By an in
genious mechanical device, three
hoppers arranged in a row and
working upon hinge, do the
work. Three hoppers alternate
ly rise and fall. Into the first
one poured a box of prunes and
it dips them into the vat OF lye
heated by steam. In few mo-
ments it rises, the lye water
passes out through the wire bot
tom and the prunes are spilled
back into similar hopper which
is just descending into a trough
of clear cold water. They are
dipped, and as the hopper raises
itspills them back into a third
which dips them into another
trough of clear water, and as it
raises it spills them onto a tray.
This operation is performed en-
tirely by the machine.
The blower now in opera
ton has proven to be too small
and Manager Johnson left yes
terday for Portland to secure a
larger one.

who has paid great attention to all
foreign fruit markets for years, ad-
vises fruit growers to look to the
Orient in the future. He says .'the
Orient market is practically our
own, ana when we realize this and
turn our attention to it, we will
sever the Gordian knot of competi-
ton with one clean cut" There is
no doubt but that the Orient offers
the best market for the fruit of the
Pacific coast.
The Oregon Native Son Maga-
zine of Portland gives the following
legend: The Shastas ascribe their
origin to the falling of one of the
daughters of the Great Spirit from
the top of Mt. Shasta to its base,
where she fell among a family of
grizzly bears. Until she was grown
she was brought up in ignorance of
her parentage, and on arriving at
maturity, married one OF the sons
Of the mother grizzly who had
reared her from infancy. After her
marriage she gave birth to child
rem who were the progenit,rs of the
Indians. This is why the Indians
living around Mt, Shasta will never
kill a grizzly bear, and whenever
one of their number is killed by
such kings of the forest, they are
burned where they fall, and all
passers by throw upon the place a
stone until a great pile is erected to
mark the spot.

The Difference.

There are some young men who
either neglect, or do moi care, to show
the same courtesy to a married woman
that they do to a young unmarried
lady," said a woman in hour hearing
recently. Il had occasion to visit a
store some time since, in company
with two other married ladies, (both
young and attractive,) M of whom
had her baby in a cab. The clerk
was waiting on a very pretty young
woman and paid her a great deal of
attention. When she gathered up
her packages to go he rushed out and
opened the door for her, after which
he returned to wait upon us. l no
ticed, however, that when we were
through and started out he paid no
attention to us, but left W to strug-
gle with our packages and to get
through the outer door with the baby
cab as best we could. We would
have thought nothing of his neglect,
so far as we concerned, if he had not
shown such great haste to help a
young, unmarried woman, who need
ed his assistance less than we did"
The above story carries its own
moral. A married woman appreci-
ates gentlemanly and obliging con
duct quite as much as IL who has
uot yet exchanged her name for that
of some lord of creation.

TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.
Poles Erected and Instruments Being
Put in-Contemplate Stringing An
other Wire and Extending the
Nam Line on into Dixon.

A. j. Vance, Superintendent of the
Bell Telephone Company's line in
Wyoming, arrived here Friday and
made arrangements for the erection
of a telephone exchange for the town.
The poles have been erected and the
instruments are being put in and the
exchange will be in operation by the
last of the week. This will prove a
great convenience to the business men
of the town and is an important step
in the great advance this city is max
ing. The instruments are of the reg
ular long distance pattern and can be
switched onto the main line and used
when the subscriber wishes to COM
municate with Rawlins, Laramie,
Cheyenne, Denver or Salt Lake.
Instruments are being put into the
following places: Hot Springs Ho-
tel, Saratoga State bank, Saratoga
Sun, A. Heath, Saratoga Lumber Co.,
DdidboSd SiuD' Cisoou anu DldChudli,
DR.. Price, residence, Chas. P. Glenn
mons, residence, A. j. Doggett & Co.,
j. j.. Rowen, Ferris Haggerty barn
and Sterret & Lufkins store.
From Mr.. Vance, we learn that the
Company have under consideration
the stringing of another telephone
wire between Doggett and Rawlins.
Mr.. Vance said:
THE wire from Rawlins to Doggett
is much smaller than the one from
Doggett to Denver, or from Rawlins
to Salt Lake. This wire was only
intended for local business and when
we put on another wire from Rawlins
to Doggett, which will be done this
fall or winter, we will fill in the gap
between those points with a heavy,
through wire and leave the small wire
for local business. The wire was
purchased and we intended to start
at the work recently, but the Com
pany concluded that it vas needed
more at another point than here, so
we put this work off. But it will be
done in the near future.
ut is our intention to extend the
Battle Lake wire on down to Baggs
and Dixon and take in that country.
We will not do that this winter but it
will be done next spring sure. The
business has been excellent and the
Company is going to keep the line up
abreast with the times"

What General Thompson Said.

General Thompson, in his speech
here Tuesday night, branded as an
infamous lie the statement that he
had said that: ''The womans vote is
the easiest thing in the world to get,
and the easiest thing to manipulate,
of any element in politics.
The Sun does not wish to deal I'M
fairly with General Thompson-but
he did say just that, or the report of
the Anti-Suffrage association of AL
bany, n. Y, made in 1895, was false.
That association is composed of wo-
men who are opposed to woman's suf-
frage and evidently they received di-
rect from the General a report of the
campaign of 1892. Here is what
their printed pamphlet contains. He
who runs may read:
I'm 1890 Wyoming elected a republi-
can governor by a majority of 1,726, in a
total vote OF 1902, and chose a legisla-
ture which contained thirty-seven repub.
cans ard ten democrats. The result of
the election November. 1892 was the
choice of a legislature democratic by
twenty-five to twenty-four, a democrat
ic governor by a majority OF 1871. and a
democratic congressman by "a majority
of 46l, while there was a plurality for
the Harrison electors. These changes
were actually brought about by the votes
OF the women; and General Thompson,
who managed the democratic campaign
in Wyoming. reported a~fterward, that
1.-THE women's vote is the easiest thing
in the world to get, and the easiest thing
10 keep, and the easiest thing to manip-
ulate. of any element in politics.
General Thompson said in his
speech here that when this campaign
was over he intended to prosecute the
man who started that report. Then
he will have to begin a suit against
himself for libel-for he said exactly
the words quoted above. What dc
the women of this valley think of it7

The Registration List.

Three hundred and twenty-one peo-
pie had registered at the hour of nine
o'clock Friday night, the time the
registration books closed.
This number exceeds the votes cast
at the election two years ago by more
than 100. There were still "a few who
failed to get in to register, and also "A
very few who were detained at home
by illness or were away from the town
on a visit to other points. The regis
tration was very satisfactory and is IA
cleaner job in that line than has ever
been done here before. The indica-
tons point to a poll of at least $50
votes here on November the 9Th.
