HEALTH CERTIFICATES.
pr. Sanders Discusses Method by Which They Are Issued.

| S0mUCTA Which They Are Issued. l State Health Officer w. H. Sanders
 has gone to Birmingham and from there will go to Decatur to look over l the quarantine business of the State and he will incidentally investigate the reported reckless issuing of health | certificates in Birmingham. $.
 The health certificate proposition in l Alabama is becoming nuisance In a | few points. There is no doubt that | the public Is being imposed upon in be- ing compelled to get certificates as some of them are being issued.
 Chief Clerk Brassell, of the State Board of Health, said yesterday that no health certificates are being Issued in the name of the State when they are paid for. Certificates are issued by of- l icers of quarantine but in no instance
 are charges made for them. On the other hand there are plenty of cities and towns in the State which have representatives of the governing | bodies or boards of health issuing cer- tificates for fees of $1 and more. Mont gomery is among the number, but there has been no criticism of the methods adopted by the city authori- 1 ties. A charge of 50 cents Is made for every certificate issued and they are all in affidavit form.
 There seems to have been some com plaints about the lax methods adopted l by notaries in Birmingham who are engaged in the business of issuing cer- | tificates of health. The complaints be- came so numerous. 1t is, said, that one city in Mississippi put on q Quaran-
 tine against Birmingham and has 1t on
 at present.
 Dr. Sanders has received a few com plaints of this sort and while he has not gone to Birmingham primarily to
 correct such matters he will try to de- | tsrmine what Is the trouble.
 No Law as to Certificates. The State Board of Health or any
 other authority has no right to inter- ! fere with or stop free and unlimited is-
 suance of health certificates. The law
 is silent on this point. All that pr. i Sanders can hope to do in the matter | ia to persuade the persons issuing the
 certificates for pay to cut down the | prices for them which are regarded as
 exorbitant Anybody who can get an
 appointment as notary or who has such | appointment can of course, get out
 some blank affidavit form with a few
 questions on them about the pas,
 itinerary of the afiant and issue then for whatever fees he sees fit to charge
 It Is reported that many such person.

BEATS ALL YIELDS.
Twenty Three Pounds IN One Fleece
It Brought Six Dollars and Forty
-Four Cents.

Johnson Porter's flock of sheep
made the best yield of wool of any
reported in Corvallis this season.
There are 38 in the band, and the
wool was delivered in town to
local buyer Monday. A buck and
II ewes are registered Cotswolds.
The fleece from the buck weighed
20 pounds. The aggregate weight
of the II heeces from the ewes was
2rI pounds. at an average of ~
pounds per sheep. The aggregate
weight of the 3S heeces from the
whole band was 55S or an average
of nearly "a 12 pounds per fleece.
Mr.. Porter sold the lot at 28 cents
per pound, and received a check
fo7 $I56.24, or an average of more
than S4.1I per fe=ce. The fleece
from the buck which is at the head
OF Mr. Porter's flock brought
1914; which is a pretty fair show
ing in wool product, for one sheep.
The value of the feeces from the
IL registered ewes, was 81 90 each,
which is also very good return.
1t is the impression that the Por-
te1 band will average higher
average that any other flock in the
state this season, not even except
ing the Ladd and other well known
herds. Of course the flock is pos
sibly smaller than some and accord
ingly more select. Mr.. Porter en-
gagged in the industry several years
ago, by selecting the very best
stock money could buy. He paid
one man $50 head for ewes. He
bought prize winners whenever they
could be secured, Since then he
has annually kept record of the
wool product from each sheep.
At culling time when those were
selected to be kept and others Gull
ed out to be sold, this record has
shown which were the best wool
producers, and all such have been
kept in the eherd. This is a system
ization of the business and the re-
suit is the heavy wool yield appar-
ent in Mr.. Porter's herd this sea-
son.
The buck now at the head Of Mr.
Porter S flock, from which the yield
this year is 20 pounds is from an
imported sire, and was raised on
the Porter farm.

INTEREST SKY HIGH.
In State Track Meet Figuring out the
Resu1t-Low Railroad
Rates.

Interest is sky high III the state
track meet to take place at Salem
next Saturday, and there are signs
that big crowd of people will at
tend from Corvallis. The train
service makes it possible to make
the trip down and return in a single
day, and the railroads are offering
inducements, the G. & E. having
made a fiat rate of one fare for the
round trip over its lines providing
100 excursionists go. Interest in
the meet is due to claims that Eu-
gene might come out ahead in the
score, even after her decisive de-
feat at Corvallis by OAC. The
meet is to be four cornered, For
est Grove and Willamette Univer-
sites each having teams ii the con-
test. The contention is that For
est Grove men will get some first
places, and that they are nearly
all places that OAC would other
wise take. all of which may be
possible. In any event there IS
more figuring, computing and cal
culating just now all over the Viii
lamette Valley over the probable
outcome of the meet than would be
required to figure out the detail of
expenses in building the Panama
canal half dozen times over. Most
every college boy, most every pro-
fessor and many a down town en-
thusiast, and all of the small boys
inside the city limits, has a table
in his pocket, showing the probable
points each team will get, and what
the final score is likely to be. In
nearly all of them. OAC has bal
ance to the good, and the common
belief is that the OAC swift and
strong men will make the claim
good next Saturday.
The trip to Salem will be by the
$50 train in the morning, and the
return by the regular evening train
which leaves Salem about eight

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
Old Z-end Mark Of Corvallis Early Life
Gone-New Gerber House.

There is new home on an old
site in fhe north end of town, and
by this token an old Corvallis land
mark has disappeared. Tie Tie new
house is owned by the Gerber
family. The house that it replaces
was built more than fifty years ago,
and was one of the earliest struct-
ures in the town. Its original
owner was Mr.. Livingstone, who
went afterwards to what was then
Washington Territory to reside.
The property in 1885 passed into
the ownership OF Mr.. Bauerline
whose widow subsequently became
Mrs. Gerber, who still resides on
the property, and is the builder of
the new home. Only a coat of
paint is required to complete the
new structure. It is completely
furnished throughout with new
furniture and isto be a comfortable
shelter for the elderly couple in
their trip down the shady side of
life.
The sills in the old building tell
the story of its great age. They
are so decayed that in spots only
core hardly as large as a man S
arm remained sound. The guess
was that in but short time, if the
house had not been torn down, it
would have fallen. Charles Nc
Henry was the builder of the new
house.

/. WANT SAMPLES.
For Benton Exhibit at Port1and-Ap
peal Of County Judge Waters.

I wish to call the attention of the
people of Benton county to the i'm
portance of maintaining a credit
able exhibit Of our products at the
Lewis and Clark fair. There is no
longer doubt but what the fair will
be success and that thousands
of people from the Eastern states
will visit it during the next few
weeks. Many of these will be
homeseekers who will select their
location from what they see at the
fair. The county court has erect
ed a booth in a good location in the
Agricultural building for the pur-
pose of displaying Benton county
products, we have competent men
in charge of it and we certainly have
a most energetic and competent
superintendent in Mr.. French: but
he cant do it all. Neither can he
accomplish what is desired with the
help of his assistants or the county
court. What we want is the CO..
operation Of every man, woman
and child in Benton county if pos
sible.
Wake up! Now is the time for
action! 1t is to your interest to
build up our county, by showing
these people what we have and in
inducing them to settle among US.
Some of the counties are spend
ing thousands of dollars on their
exhibits, notably Coos county,
which has erected a building of its
own at an estimated cost of $40, 900
and put 5000 more in its exhib-
it. do not feel the need of any
great expenditure of money by us.
but we now have our booth there
and by the cooperation Of the peo-.
pie we can keep it full Of the pro-
ducts of our county at very small
cost compared to what other coun-
ties are spending. You have grains
grasses, fruits, hops, and veget-
ab1es that we want and must have
to properly represent our county
and its resources. Roses by the
basketful are going to waste every
week in Corvallis and we need them
to decorate our booth at the fair.
Can you not bring US something?
Arrangements are made for a
shipment Of samples Friday Of each
week. Therefore if you have any
thing for us communicate with Mr..
H. L. French or myself, or leave
it at my Office in Hotel Corvallis
building not later than 10 a. m.
Fridays.
