Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months
in the year consuming what
you raise during the other
six months?
Go south where you can
work out doors every month
In the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now ''eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the RI
gors of winter by expensive
shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination Of
both flesh forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro.
portions. Alabama and
Florida produce in abundance
the velvet bean and cassava,
the first flesh producer, and
they are the cheapest and
best fatening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gener-
al farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck garden
ing along our road in the
South than in any other
section of the Union.

Scientific Egg Test.

A new and simple method for
testing eggs is published in Ger
man papers. It is based upon the
fact that the air chamber in the flat
end Of the egg increases with age.
If the egg is placed in solution of
common salt, it will show an in
creasing inclination to float with the
long axis vertical.
A scale is attached to the vessel
containing the salt solution so that
the inclination of the floating egg
toward the horizontal can be meas
ured. In this way the age of an
egg can be determined almost to a
day.
A fresh egg lies in a horizontal
position at the bottom Of the vessel;
an egg from three to five days old
shows an elevation of the fiat end
SO that its long axis forms an angle
of 20 degrees. With an egg eight
days old the angle increases to As
degrees; with an egg "A days cid to
60 degrees, and with one three
weeks old to IS degrees, while an
egg a month old floats vertically
Upon the pointed end.

WAITING FOR THEM.
Transmitters for the Independent
Telephone Company-All Day
Service oI1
Service on.

Non-arrival of transmitters is the
occasion of another delay in the in
auguration of general service on
the Independent telephone system.
A supply was shipped from Kansas
City week ago last Thursday,
and it was confidently expected
that the invoice would reach Cor
wallis by las Thursday or Friday,
when the transmitters could be ap-
piled to the phones already installed
and universal communication begin.
But Thursday, Friday, Saturday
and Sunday came without the
transmitters. Monday also came
and still the missing contrivarces
failed to appear. Meantime, but
81 of the local phones have trans
! mitters, and these have been in-
stalled in business houses and are
in use, largely in switches with
the rural lines. Yesterday, lit was
expected that the long delayed
shipment would arrive, and that
connections could be.speedily made.
Until it does arrive the extension
of the service to all subscribers will
be delayed. Meantime, an all
day service is maintained at the
central Office, and the 1inemen are
constantly pushing the work ofput-
ting nand connecting up residence
phones. Mr.. DeVarney has been
at Salem for day or two, looking
af,er the interests of the Indepen-
dent Telephone Company, which
expects to push its extensions ith

SUZANNE OF KERBYvILLE.' !
What it is Corvallis BOYS New Book
Fact and Fiction.

Dennis StovaIp new book, 'Su-
zanne of Kerbyvil1e," is mining
camp story, and is very readable.
The plot is laid at Kerbyville,
Southern Oregon, the chief camp
in the famous Althouse district,
which was at one time one of the
leading mining camps in the South
ern Oregon country. The date is
in the early Fifties, and advantage
is taken of the Indian wars that
ragged in the section during that
time to Intervene bits Of fiction
and fact together in way that as
sists in giving the narrative touch
of real life. The attempt of Rogue
River John to massacre the settlers
at Big Meadows furnishes the in
cident for the closing chapters Of
the book, and incidentally supplies
excuse for the arrest, Of a miner,
the father cf Suzanne, as a traitor
and spy, for his court marshal and
death sentence. and for Suzanne
to save him, which she does in
a dramatic manner.
Four excellent characters are
created in the book, and their pro-
trayal is painted clearly and
faithfully. The book is not of the
CORY character that might be ex.
pected from a mining camp and a
young writer. but keeps fairly
within the realms Of reason ane
real life. Best Of all, it turns {
very pretty moral, and is wei
| worth the few hours of time requir
| ed to read it.

MOUNTAIN WATER.

The Willamette river is the sew
er of the Willamette valley. Growth
of population and the natural tend
ency of people more and more to
get rid of filth and sewage will cause
it to be us:d more and more as a
general drain. More and more it
will be made to carry away the ex-
crement, filth and vile sewage of
growing and multiplying towns.
More and more sewage systems will
be built in these towns, and more
and more these will empty their
dirty cargoes into the stream. More
and more people will die and be
buried, and more and more will the
drainage and seepage from burial
places find its way into the water
that people by hundreds and thous-
ands are daily drinking.
Ultimately, certainly, absolutely,
pollution of the Willamette will so
increase, that it is but a question
of time when people will be driven
to some other source of water sup
ply. Even this very moment may
be the time that the change ought
to be made, for aught any body
knows Esnecially is this true
during the dry season, when the
volume Of wafer flow is at the min

not reason tor Corva1lisites to
think occasionally of ways and
means for getting water supply
from the pure, uncontaminated
streams of the mountains? Wouldn'

GATHERING HOPS.
All the Yards in full Blast-M Many Cor
valiisites are Afield.


The hop pickers are a6eld. OPP
erations began in yards all over the
valley Monday. A special train of
IS cars carried pickers from Port
land to the Independents and Bu-
ena Vista yards. People also came
out of Portland by steamboat loads,
all species of locomotion being tax,
ed to accommodate the rush to the
yards.
Picking began in the Corvallis
yards Monday. In the Beach yard
across the Willamette 100 pickers
are employed, which is even more
than enough to keep the dry house
constantly filled The crop is not
so heavy as in some former years,
but the quality is super6ne, not ev-
en- trace of lice or mold being ap-
parent. It's estimated that the
yield of the yard will not be, le. S
than $4,000 pounds.
Picking in the Lilly yard began
at the same time. The conditions
there with respect TO crop are SIM
| liar to those in the Beach yard Ov-
er $50 pickers are employed The
absence ef rain during past weeks,
has, with respect to lics and mold
been a fortunate weather feature.
Picking began in the Whitaker
yard Monday. The usual force Of
pickers there is rs. many of the
same pickers returning to the yard
I,year after year.
! All day Sunday, wagons loaded
with camping outfits and people
passed through Corvallis, enroute
to the Independence and Buens

TOO MUCH LIGHTNING.
For an oregonian- The Flashes too
Bright and Thunder too Loud-In
Arkansas.

County Clerk Moses arrived Suh-
day morning from two months
,fis;t East. Most of the time was
spent in Arkansas whore there is a
vast tribe of the Moses kindred.
A happier man TO get back to Ben
ton than was Mr.. Moses. has not
been seen long time. His teeth
have been chattering most of the.
time since he has been away on ac-
count of the East m electrical
storms. Sixteen people in various
parts of the state were killed dur
ing the six weeks he was in Ar
kansas. Bred and born in Oregon,
where thunder storms are rare,
the county clerk was unprepared
for the brilliant effects in this line
that the East affords. Sometimes"
he says, it seemed to him that the
lightning flashes were continual
and with electric fire all round
him. it was so light that he could
read a paper People said that
the lightning was 100 miles away"
he continued, "but it seemed to me
that it was right where I was. The
rafting of the windows. and the
vibration of the walls of buildings
to the reverberation of the thunder
peals are such as to make an Ore.
gonian, fresh off the grass, awfully
hemesick."
In Arkansas, Mr.. Moses found,
| in some of the remoter districts
people still living in, the little old
log cabins of the pioneer days
The state, however, is fast improv-
ing under the development OF coal
lead and copper mines, and in the
| production of peaches. He visited
one family that shipped out 2S car
loads of peaches during the season
and one small town in the vicinity
sent abroad 2o1 cars in week
Many court houses were visited or

LAMAR COUNTY COURT MUD
DIE NOT SETTLED.

Gulfport, Sept. 27.-The compressed
condition Of affairs in regard to holding
court in Lamar county has brought about
considerable embarrassment to the mem
bers Of the local bar here, and the fact
that no legal proceedings can be had in
that county until the Legislature meets,
Two years hence, is matter Of much
concern TO the lawyers throughout the
district. Lamar county was created by
an act Of the Mississippi Legislature
last January, and was formed out OF a
portion Of the Second Chancery court
district Of Marion county and that por-
tion OF Pearl River county in which the
town OF Lumberton is situated. 1t ap-
pears that the county was left in the
Second District, but by grieyous over
sight no time was fixed for orholding court,
hence the chancellor OF the district has
declined 10 try the cases now pending
there. A few days ago it was announc-
ed in Jackson special to the Picayune
that Hon. r. A. Wood, Of this city, who
is chancellor OF the Eighth chancery
court district, would convene court in
Lamar county and dispose OF the litiga-
tion there, but the concensus of opinion
of lawyers here is that such proceedings
would be Illegal. Judge Wood is hold
ing court at Scranton this week.

THE CASH IS RECEIVED
BY THE STATE AT LAST.
TREASURY TROUBLES ENDED
FOR THE PRESENT, AT LEAsT,
MIR. MILLER RECEIVES THE AC.
TUAL MONEY FOR THE ISSUE
OF $500. 600 IN STATE BONDS

The treasury trouble is ended. for III,
present, at least. The vaults Tuesda,
morning contained s503, ,S45 .s5, the bond
issue payment having reached jackson
during the night.
N. w. Harris & Co., according to the
statement Of Treasurer Miller, were com.
PEELED, under the terms of theircontract
70 deliver the money in jackson. How
u was delivered there is not known,
NO statement was made at the treasury
as to the method Of delivery, and the
representative of tho bond syndicate has
left jackson. IL Is believed, however
that the money was shipped from New
Orleans. At any rate, it is now in the
vaults, the big bundle of bills having
been turned over to the cashier nj thr
opening for business. The exact amount
received was 503, 3,60l.S5, being the prin-
cipal and accumulated interest. Prior
10 receiving these funds the treasury
had only St54 on hand.
The bond issue funds will be held bv
the treasury to settle the common school
fund distribution which was due last
June, and which will be made a prefer
ence payment, In other words. the
treasurer will pay out money until the
sum of $ll6,666.66 is reached, and he
viii then hold this amount to meet the
school warrants.
treasurer Miller is under the impress
sion that the State will not 20 broke
again, as he expects some tax payments
from the various counties early next
month, and believes there will be suff
clent to meet any outstanding indebted
ness. He also expects some money f.om
the States cotton crop within a few
days, as Governor Vardaman, CommIs-
sioner McNair and Warden Henry left
jackson during the week for Greenwood,
where about 300 bales of the State cron
were stored, which have been placed on
the market. This cotton will brinp
about $4,000. The crop is being picked
as rapidly as possible and will be rushed
from the fields to the market, the Board
OF Control having decided not to adopt a
hold-back policy.
