Corvallis Is Profiting.

Corvallis is obtaining scarcely
less advertising from B. ]. Cas-
terline's new process of temper
ing steel, than is the discoverer
himself. Last Sundays San
Francisco Examiner devotes a
whole page TO an illustrated
write-up of Mr.. Casterline and
his discovery, and Corvallis
comes in for good share of
notice. Should the process prove
to be all that is claimed for it,
this little. town on the bank OF
the Willamette will have fame
that will outlive the ages. In
the meantime, it is getting a lot
of valuable advertising free.
The Examiners article is
illustrated with a picture of Mr..
Casterline at his forge, and a
fantastic sketch that shows him
in his laboratory guarding the
box that contains the magic
fluid with which he works his
miracles in steel tempering.
In concluding its article, the
Examiner says:

o. A. c. Student Badly Hurt.

Bert Pilkington was in Cor
wallis, Tuesday, en- route from
his home at McMinnville tc
Douglas county where he has
employment. Bert accompanied
Zophar Tharp to his home al
Sheridan last Saturday. The
latter suffered painful injury in
an accident that occurred Friday
of last week. He was working
on covered bridge on the South
Umpqua, in Douglas county,
and was assisting in letting down
the false work, when the span
upon which he was standing
suddenly collapsed. The super
intendent of the work had
knocked away a number OF
braces, without notifying the
workmen.
Bert had been on the span
with Zophar and another work
man, named Markham. but had
just c: :imbed up on some timbers
vie, the false work fell. He
heard the {. ash, and glancing
down, saw his companions strad-
ding a stringer that Was plu, -
ing toward the rocks 36 feet be-
low. A moment later Markham
was lying on the ground with a
broken leg and other injuries.
Zophar struck on his face upon
a rock, splitting his chin in two,
and injuring his spine SO severe
ly that both legs were paralyzed
for some time. The wonder is
that he was not killed. His
teeth were Jared from the jaw
and lay upon the rocks.
Pilkington placed the injured
man in wagon and drove thirty
miles after night to place where
the services of a physician could
be secured. He says Tharp dis
played remarkable nerve, never
even uttering a groan. After his
wounds were dressed he was
placed on a stretcher and taken
to his home at Sheridan, last
Saturday, where he is now on
the road to recovery.
Tharp is we11-known 0. A.
c. student. He was a star mem
Der of the football team of that
institution last season, and was
looked upon as strong man for
the coming year. 1t is quite
likely that Douglas county will
have heavy claim for damages
% pay.
Pilkington will return to Cor
7allis as soon as he can straigh.
:en up his affairs at the camp on
he Unpqua, and will be ready
o enter college this fall.

line stands at the threshold o
enduring fame and fortune
almost limitless.
Scoffers were many throughou
the years of the inventors toll
ing. Believers in his ultimate
success there were not any.
! In the early days of his s,r;v
ing Casterline used totell people
who inquired what kept him sc
busy in his shop both night ane
day continuously, that he was
''experimenting;' that he pur-
posed TO learn how to temper
steel that would cut steel, and
that he would never stop until
that object was attained.
Some of these people laughed
openly. Some others restrained
their mirth and only smiled, and
still others did neither. They
pitied the toiling blacksmith.
Nobody took him seriously.
By all he was regarded as harm
less crank.
II knew nobody had faith in
what ! was trying to do" said
the inventor. ''I always told
people that I was going to learn
to temper steel in way that
would revolutionize present meth
DDS. Naturally. they didn't be-
lieve me.
''People at Corvallis used to
act as though they thought me
insane when I first told them
what l was doing. They would
come to my shop often and get
me to talk about my work.
Gradually they became accus-
toned to me, and gradually they
came to leave me to myself, and
to accept me and my work as a
matter of course.
II knew as long as four years
ago that I should succeed. I
knew it because I had by that
time hit upon a combination of
the chemicals that gave me fair
ly good results. After that it
was just a question. of time and
of study. my getting the liquid
into such shape as to make the
process perfect. Finally, ac-
conplished that, and then I de-
cided to remove to Portland, be-
cause I knew it would be neces-
sary for me to interest capitalists
in my invention.
"There is the result of my five
years of toll" said Casterl1ne,
pointing to the hasped and locked
box containing his fluid. 'You
see I keep it locked. I do not
think it would be possible for
any chemist to :.na1yze the liquid
in such a way as to tell what its
Ingredients were and their pro-
portions, but I shall not run any
risks. Nobody but myself knows
the secret and I shall tell no
one; at least not yet"

steps toward organizing a mutual
fire insurance association for the
protection of the fruit driers of the
growers. The reason for the step

on prune driers almost prohibitive,
and this orgaRization is formed for

If anyone has the impression
that as fine apples as ever grew
cannot be raised in this section, let
him inspect the orchard belonging
to John Meeker, just west of town.
Mr.. Meeker took the orchard when
it was run down, cultivated it for a
year, and he has crop of apples
this year that cannot be excelled.
He is an experienced orchardist,

SUCCESS OF THE
 CABLE COMPANY
BUSINESS HAS GROWN TO SUCH PROPORTIONS THAT IT IS OPEN ING BRANCH HOUSES IN OTHER TOWNS IN THE STATE.


 The phenomenal success of the Cable company Is the talk Of the state. The business of the company has grown to such enormous proportions that it has become necessary to open branch houses in other towns. J. E. Shelby. the popular resident manager. has just returned from Anniston where he has opened a branch house. The people of that city are to be congratulated on having a house of this character in their midst.
 The Cable company has unlimited capl- tai and has the largest piano manufac- tory in the United States and sells dl- rect from the factory 10 the customer thus saving them the mlddloman's profit which amounts to fully slOO to $l5O on each piano. They manufacture such high grade pianos as the Conover. Cable, Kingsbury and Wellington. and the world renowned Chicago Cottage organ The Gable company is perhaps the only plano manufacturers in the United States working union men exclusively in its factories. The union card Is shown in an of it's branch houses.
 The success of the Cable company in this state is in a very large measure due to J. r. Shelby. manager of the Birming ham house He is perhaps the best equipped piano man in the south and has made hosts of friends since his residence in this city MT. Shelby's assistants are all first-class men. and when they go af- ter a customer seldom fell to sell him. "*'

 Half the Women Suffer With catarrh.
 Over half the women have catarrh in some form or another. And yet, probably, not a tenth of the women know that their disease is catarrh. To distinguish eatarrh of various organs 1t has been named very differently.
 One woman has dyspepsia, another bronchitis, another Bright's disease, another liver complaint, another con- sumption, another female complaint. TEese women would be very much surprised to hear that they are all suf- fering with chronic catarrh. But it is so, nevertheless.
