The right-of-way for the Dallas
pipeline, something over 7 miles
loag, cost the city less than $4,000. |
This amount includes all necessary
expenses of righ,-ot- commit
tee, attorneys fees, money paid to
property owners along the route, and |
the purchase of one acre of land in
the edge Of town for reservoir site.
In many instances, the farmers did
not charge the city acent for CT ossing
their premises. The pipe is laid

way would have been much greater
than $1,000. This statement will
cause the Dallas people to smile in
derision. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. Had it not been
for the greed Of these parties, the
right of way for the entire pipe line
could have been paid for less than
$1,000. They were the only ones
who caused the city any trouble whatever and

his glaring mistatements have al
ready been shown up by the sworn
statements of Dallas citizens 10 the
contrary, published in The
TIMES of Saturday. The two affi-
davis in themselves should be suf-
fcient to discredit all that he has
said. but lest some of your citizens
might still be misled by the many
untruths he has given publication,
I beg space to call attention to a
few of the notorious inaccuracies
in his letter.

DALLAS INSURANCE RATES

DALLAS INSURANCE RATES
I note in Mr.. Emery's statement
that he says that the insurance rates
on dwelling houses in Dallas were
7 per cent to 10 per cent before
the water works were installed, and
that "the rates are still 7 to 10 per
cent. A moments thought will
certainly convince every property
owner in Corvallis OF the absurdity
of this statement. Seven to 10 per
cert means $40 to 500 a year on
each $1,000 insurance carried. Has
any citizen of Corvallis or any
other town, ever heard of
any such rate being charged on
dwelling houses? Here, in Dallas,
before the installation of the water
supply, property owners considered
81 or So thousand a high rate on
residences. These amounts some
of them were obliged to pay-but
never $40 to 500, as claimed by
Mr.. Emery. The house in which
the writer lives is now insured for
$1,000, and for this insurance the
owner pays SIS year, or SIS for
3.year policy, such as is commonly
wri,ten on dwelling ghouses. Instead
OF 7 to 10 per- cent, as Mr.. Emery
would have your people believe, the
rate in this instance is just ONE.
HALF OF | PER CENT,
The reduction on business prop
erty ranges from 10 to 80 per cent,
with good, honest average of Is
per cent. wish to say, frankly,
that this reduction is not as great
as the people of Dallas had hop: d
| for--not as great as the Insurance
people had led the council to believe
it would be-. The expected reduc-
ftion was 90 per eent.-the real re-
duction was Is per cent. AS your
readers are aware, the laws govern
ing insurance charges in Oregon are
very lax; in fact, there are practi-
cally no laws on the subject in this
state, and, as a consequence, the in.
surance people do as they please.
| But in spite of this drawback, Dal.
las got reduction in rates averag.
ing Is per cent. and all the stories
of Mr.. Emery to the contrary will
not alter the fact. AS to the. truth
of this statement, the insurance
ratebooks, with which all local
agents are supplied, are the best
proof. Messrs. Sibley and Eakin
are not in the real estate and insur.
ance business, as claimed by Mr.
Emery, aud do not believe that
they ever told him what he says
they did about insurance rates in
Dallas. -.

REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER
After Trying Other Treatments
Hyomei Was Used With Per
feet Success

Before the discovery of Hyomei the
only advice a physician could give his
hay fever patients, was to 60 away
from home, but now anyone who is
subject to this disease can, if Hyomei
is used, stay at home without fear Of
the annual attack of sneezing. watery
eyes, and other discomforts.
]. +. Forbes. a we'll known Western
railroad man, whose home is at Nc.
Cook, Nebraska, writes II have
never had any relief from any remedy
for hay fever, even temporarily until
| discovered the merits of Hyomei
| always recommend it when occasion
requires.
There is no offensive or dangerous
stomach dosing when Hyomei is used.
This reliable remedy for the care of
all diseases Of the respiratory organs
is breathed through neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, so
that the air taken into the throat and
lungs is like that of the White
Mountains or other health resorts,
where hay fever is unknown
The fact that Rotermund agrees to
refund the money to any hay fever
sufferer who uses Hyomei without
success. should inspire confidence in
its power to effect a cure. A com
plete outfit costs only 81. and extra
bottles but so cents.

TO MAKE DREDGING
MORE PR0FITABL {
Experiment is With Black Sa nd a I
Lewis and Cla rk Fair
Point the Way

The present experiments with the
black sand at the Lewis and Clark
fair are expected to point the way
for profitable operation of dredgers
in many localities where such appar-
atus were employed in the past, but
where the operations did not yield
sufficient return when gold alone
was sought. Should the Geological
Survey devise means whereby not
only the gold, bat iron, platinum
and all other minerals may be saved,
these by products will supply a salts
factory margin OF profit in operations
which, under the old conditions,
could be conducted only at loss.
Moreover, it has already been demon.
strated at the concentrating paw ion
that the methods being followed by
the Government officials would yield,
in addition to the other minerals, an
increased amount OF gold. The ex-
perimental station at Portland has
tested considerable quantities of tail
ings from various dredger districts,
and in every instance the increased
yield of gold has been, as DR. Day
says, Too much for the dredger
owners to lose. " One of the main
purposes of the Geological Survey ex.
periments and the one most promi-
nently mentioned in the preliminary
circular sent out from Washington to
mine owners is the development of a
home source of supply for the plati.
mum market. 1t has. of course, long
been known that platinum existed in
commercial quantities in the Pacific
coast black sands, but there has been
lack of knowledge as to an efficient
method of concentration and treat.
ment. At present the United States
imports more than 30 per cent of all
the platinum used, the annual valua
tion of the imports being in the
neighborhood of 50, 900, 600, and, mas.
much as the chief source of supply in
Russia has been practically closed by
the Russo-Japanese war, it is espe-
.cially desirable that the industry be
developed here if possible.
Ranking with, if not exceeding,
the platinum project IN Importance,
however, is the partial promise that
the present experiments with the
black sand will disclose a source of
iron ore supply which will foster the
development of the iron and steel
manufacturing industry in the Pacific
coast to considerable proportions.
The experimental plant at Portland
will, IN the course of its OPERATIONS,
secure large quantities of iron ore,
and an effort is to be made to induce
one or more blast furnaces on the
Pacific coast to take the iron ore pro.
duct from the concentrators at Port

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used
with small children during the
hot weather of the summer
months to guard against bowel
troubles. As a rule it is only neces-
sary to give the child dose of castor
oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute,
but give the oldfashioned castor oil,
and see that is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has a tendency TO
grippe. If this does not check the
bowels give Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
then a dose of castor oil, and the
disease may be checked in its in
ciTiency and all danger avoided.
The castor oil and this remedy should
be procured at once and kept ready
for instant use as soon as the first in
dicatioI of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon " ith
