Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
| pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionisthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
Of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

MEETING CALLED.
Of the Democratic Central Committee
of Benton-Occurs Friday.

A meeting of the democratic
county central committee has been
called for Friday at II a. m. The
hour was set at II in order to give
members of the committee who so
desire to come in on the Yaquina
train and return the same day. The
matter to be considered is whether
or not primaries and a county con-
vention shall be held for sending
delegates to the congressional con
vention, or whether delegates shall
be named by the county central
committee. The state COM
mittee met in. Portland last week,
and named Albany as the place,
and April 18th, as the date for
holding a convention to nominate
a successor to the late congressman
Tongue. The state committee also
made the question of how delegates
to the convention should be selec-
ted, optional with county central
committees,
Yesterday County Chairman
Davis mailed letters to each of the
Benton County committeeman,
giving notice of the meeting to be
held next Friday.

PRICES NOW.
And Then-Also Here and There
Facts From an Eastern Paper.

q.
Excerpts below show prices OF
land in Illinois. and also in Kansas.
They are taken from the News,
published at Brim6e1d, Illinois, the
old home of Sam Moore, of Soap
! Creek. Mr.. Moore, who knows well
whereof he speaks. says the high
priced land in Illinois is no bitter
than Webfoot soil. and in many
a case not so good. Subjoined,
are the clippings:
L Hasse1bacher, who owns
fine farm out in the gas and oil belt,
near Chanute, Kansas, is receiving
propositions from capitalists for the
right to operate on his land The
usual rate paid by the oil compan-
les is rental of one eight of the
product, for the gas and oil right.
Mr. Hasselbacher purchased this
land some nine years ago for, thir-
teen dollars per acre and since it
has greatly enhanced in farm value
to say nothing of the gas and oil
prospect. There is no one we
would like to see strike oil better
than Mr.. Hasselbacher and we
only hope they'll find a gusher
wherever they stick the drill down
and bore the place so full of holes
that it will look like wet spot on
Kickapoo creek in craw fish time.
John R. Mccoy returned last
week from visit of several months
with his son down at .Chanute,
Kansas. Mr.. Mccoy says the
country down there is just boom
ing, and land values are way up,
One quarter of farm land sold a
short time ago for $11o FER acre.
In the gas and oil belt land sells for
$500 to $1,000 per acre.
Peoria Star:-The first week in
March is the farmers new year
and is the time of the year when the
greater part of their estate transfers
are affected, leases renewed, notes
paid, etc. It is the general settling
up time of the old year and the
making of arrangements for the new.
In Peoria county comparatively
little farm realestate changes owner
ship, but in other counties a good
deal of it is done. 1t also sets new
values for farms and one sale in
Mclean county last week is recor-
ded where the land sold for $500
an acre, the top notch price so far
in the state. A number of trans
fers are recorded in which the prices
ranged from SIPS to $I75 per acre.

WENT TO THE CIRCUS.
And Whit They Saw-Literary So.
ciet1es Had Lots of Fun.

The Philadelphian literary so
ciety at the college entertained the
Feronians Friday evening. The
function was given in Agricultural
Hall, and the feature was trip to
the circus The latter involved an
imitation of the various diversions
incident to a circus. The guests
were shown into one room where
they had opportunity to throw at
negro babies In another room
was exhibited the yellow boy"
freak represented by red-haired
young man. In another place was
a lung tester. which consisted of
long rubber tube into which the
guests were allowed to blow. The
coarse voiced horn at the other end
did the rest. 'The worlds great
est panorama" to be seen for the
small sum of 10 cents, and various
other attractions were presented.
The trip closed with a spread.
where half a. dozen interesting
toasts preceded the turning out of
the lights.

Toadstools and Mushrooms, are the
Same but Some are Poisonous.
The lecture by Prof. Sweetser OF
the University of Oregon was given
at the M. E. church last Friday
night to a crowded house. This
was the second of a series being
given by the literary department of
the Epworth League. The 1ectur-
er has made speciality of this sub
ject, and illustrated it with stereop-
ticon views, either photographed
or painted from nature
He said there is no the mush-
room but all are in reality toad
stools. That most of them were
edible, but that there is no in
fallible rule to apply by which to
tell the poisonous ones from the
edible ones. One must learn one
kind to begin with and add others
as you learn to certainly identify
them.
While not all the toadstools
having a crepe like formation at
the root and ring around the stem
part way up, are poisonous, yet,
because these marks SO frequently
accompany the bad ones. it is safe
rule to let all such alone.
Then to show that there is ex-
ception to any general rule. he ex-
hibited some that did not bear. these
marks fully, but still were poison
Gus.
The next lecture of the course
will occur in April.

BID TOO HIGH.
Coroner Wilkins Bought County War:

Goods.

County Treasurer Buchanan S
late call for warrants which can
celed all county scrip outstanding,
caught some of the spectators
mapping, Warrants have been
going at a premium, usually of one
per cent. They are considered a
good investment at that figure, be-
cause safe.
Among those wont to pick UP
warrants after each session of the
commissioner court is Coroner
Wilkins, and at the March term he
gathered in several, whose aggre-
gate ran into the hundreds. He
paid 81 OF for each dollars worth of
warrants. That all happened about
the 9th or 9TH of March. The in
vestment would have been all right
if the county had remained in debt.
On March 10th, however, the
treasurer's call Cancelled all out
standing warrants, those bought by
the coroner among them. The in
terest the warrants had earned,
meantime for Mr.. Wilkins was
only about one-sixth of one per
cent. His loss was about five
sixths of one cent on each dollar OF
his investment. His friends Say
that when he cashed his warrants
he got back several dollar less than
he paid for them.

Big Wire Nail Penetrated tits Re-

It took the united strength oftwo
men to remove spike that pene-
trated the foot of Chester Huffman
Friday. Mr. Huffman was at
work on the fup1e of the Benton
County Lumber Company. He
was standing four feet above the
ground on walk that runs along
side the V-shaped trough in which
the lumber is transported. He
jumped to the ground failing to
notice board in which there was
sharp pointed wire spike, its
point turned upwards. The latter
struck the ball of thefoot. It pass
ed through the sole of the shoe and
penetrated the foot until its point
pressed against the upper of the
shoe above. The removal of it re-
quired two men, pulling with great
force.
For little time, Mr.. Huffman
continued at his work, but later
was taken i'll and had to be convey
ed home. Care will be necessary in
the treatment of the wound, or bad
results may follow. Fortunately
the nail was a new one and with

sented by J. N. McFadden. Yes
terday morning at nine, his case
was called, and Fawcett at once
pleaded guilty. When asked by
the court if he desired sentence
passed at once, the prisoner replied
In the affirmative. In answer to
the usual inquiry if he had any
thing to say why sentence should
not be imposed, the prisoners at
torney made brief address, setting
forth that the aggregate value of
the stolen articles was but triaing
and that the prisoner, his wife and
two children on account of an ac-
cident to the husband had been in
destitute circumstances before he
arrived in Corvallis, all suggesting
light sentence.
The indictment charged larceny
