Raised the Wind.

The Oregonian seems never to
count the cost when on the eve OF
an expression. For an utterance
in a recent issue the big daily is
being quite ferce1y assailed by
the little bow-wows. Governor
Chamberlain is billed to leave the
state to- attend a convention of
the Elks. Of course, if the COVER
nor elects to make this trip there
is no power to say him nay.
The Oregonian contends that
just at present, in view of the
fact that Oregon has so many
notable guests within her borders
visiting the Exposition it would
have been more fitting on the
part of the governor, as the first
man OF the state, to be sat home"
to the guests, rather than off on
an Elk's convention. For this
statement the big daily is being
severely condemned by some Of
its satellites. While the writer
might have couched his utter
ances in different language, there
appears grain of truth in the
statement just the same. The
paragraph in question is as fol
lows:
The governor of Oregon is te
leave the state for a month Oh
more. He is to go off to a con.
vention o. "The Elks,' some.
where-to go at this special tlme
ia the history OF oregon, wher
the state is inviting all peoples
of all states and all nations t.
her. Doubtless "The Elks" ART

himself a more important hgur'

Virgil A. PinkIey.

A fair-sized audience greeted
Virgil "A. Pinkley on his appear
ance at the Presbyterian church
last Tuesday evening. Mr.. Pink.
ley, although this was his premier
appearance in this city, was not
by fame unknown to many Of our
people and they were prepared
for what was of the best III the
way of elocution.
In this expectation they were
not disappointed in the least de-
gree. He is gifted with great
versatility, has full sense Of the
serious and humorous, and there
is a peculiar, inde6nable "so1ne-
thing" that gives a charm to his
work and. stamps it as most legit-
innate.
AS a rule an adult in a child
piece or impersonation is not
good for the simple reason that
from a child to grown up"
person there is too great a step.
However, there is a charm about
Mr.. Pinkley's work in this line
that is irresistible. A couple of
numbers in this line of work re-
ceived the hearty approval of all.
There is no OVERRIDING, nothing
is so exaggerated as to make it ap-
pear as unreal. You appreciate
it as it is-see it, feel it, live it,
and enjoy it.

this city by the Presbyterian and
M. E. churches and they certain.
lly made happy hit. Mr.. Pink.

AFTER LONG YEARS.
Old-Time Business Man Revis-
its Corvallis.

Nedlly Hlty years ago young
man found himself in Victoria,
British Columbia. He had come
out to the great West to make
his fortune and for a time labor
ed in the mines of British Colum-
bia. Finally he left that prov
ince and came down to Portland.
Arriving in Portland he cast
his eye about for an opportunity
to engage in some kind of busi-
ness that offered reward for capit-
al and labor. By chance he made
the acquaintance of a peddler, a
huckster who travelled the coun-
try over and bartered for his 1iv-
ing. The peddler told the young
miner, who was a German, that
Corvallis was a good place.
The pedd1er being on the eve
of departing for trip up the val
ley our young pilgrim was invit
ed to occupy seat in the hack
en- route. The invitation was ac-
cepted and the twain started up
the great Willamette valley, then
far different from what it is te-
day. In some FIVE or six days,
travelling by day and camping
where'er night overlook them,
they arrived in the little town
now known as Corvallis-"Heart
of the Valley.''
Here our hero dedided to en-
gage in the butcher business.
This was AZ years ago. He in
vested about $1,oo aud tried
hard to win fortunes favor. Six
months passed and he decided to
move. So determined was he to
get away that he lett his property
in the hands of an acquaintance
to dispose of and send him the
proceeds. He departed, but from
that day to this has not heard
what were the proceeds of the
butcher business which he had
abandoned.
From Corvallis he went to Sac
ramento, California. Here he
went into the butchering ane
pork-packing business.

CERTIFIED MILK" SCHEME

citation in the interest of pure milk
will try to persuade the milkmen to
join in the good work by signing an
agreement to conform to certain rules

1t is the purpose of the association
to attain what is termed certified"
milk, or milk that anyone who pur-
chases may know that the dairyman
from whom the milk is purchased Is
conforming to q rule which insures
as far as possible pure milk.
The association will appoint COM
mission to investigate the dairies of
the milkmen who have signed the
agreement and will issue labels to
those who have earned them by con-
forming with the rules. On the
recommendation of the commission
the dairymen will be given labels
which are to be placed on each bottle

DAGGETT TO START
SIDEWALK CAMPAIGN

sidewalks have grades of their own
and it is Mayor Daggetts intention to
have the walks all alike,
The worst streets are First, Second
and Third avenues, while along
Riverside west of Maple there is
great need of repair.
Commissioner Handley is also
greatly in favor of the improvement
He states that civic pride, If nothing
else, demands that the city have its
prominent sidewalks in good shape
AT this time of the year, he says,
the sidewalks should be In better
condition than at any other season.
This is the season when the tourists
and monied capitalists come out from
the east and the more attractive we
have our city the better IT will be for
its future.
Boone avenue is also one of the
streets which has been called to the
attention of the city officials. This
avenue is chopped up like a string Of
cattle corralls at railroad station.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-07-24

Mayor Daggett has gotten tired of
seeing the poor sidewalks in and
about the city of Spokane and intends
to change things as soon as possible.
At least that is his aim and he will
present to the city council at it's
next meeting a list Of the sidewalks
throughout the different sections of
the city which are fenced OFF for
improvements and those that need
repair
Mayor Daggett will also ask that
the council recommend the improve
ment of the streets in question and
see to II that they are repaired.
Street Commissioner Handley was
busily engaged this morning in aid
ing the work of securing the lists
for the council. Mr.. Handley said
there were several streets on which
sidewalks at the present time were
In a very unsatisfactory condition. In
many cases. he states, the sidewalks
are part wood, 0art cement and all
on different grades. The old wooden
