ALONG SPRING RIVER
There Is Where Most of the Dan,
age was Done

The greatest amount of damage was
done along Spring river where the water
is said to have Deen higher than any
time since 1877. Tho water rea bed from
Kendricktcwn to half way up the wool
en- mill hill in Carthage. The water
was five feet deep in the Frisco depot
and everything in the bottoms that WAS
damagahle was damaged.
What appeared at first to be the most
serious loss was that among the horses
and cattle. Whole nerds Of fine cattle
and horses which were pastured ON the
lowlands were swept down before the
flood. 1t WAS taken for granted by tho
owners that all these were lost, which
accounts for tho exaggerated rumors
which reached Jasper about the fright
full loss Of stock. Remarkable rs 1t
may seem but few Of the animals were
drowned, although some of them were
found mil Is below from whore they star
ted, and gave evidence Of having Leen
in the water for twenty-four hours. \
fins bull that was thought to nave been
drowned. was found four miles below
its origisal pasture contentoaiy eating
grass. Another bull was 10 swimming
water for twenty four hours and kept
alive. 4 two month old calf that float
ed four miles and came out u i've after
twelve hours in the water. f. huell
who was reported to have lost 40 head
of horses, up to Saturday had found all
but four mnres, fillry and four colts,
and possibly has found more OF them by
this time.
A telephone message saved i'ne herd
of Shurthorns on the Hall farm down
the river. The message told cf Tie COM
ing Hood ana aHfow moments after the
stock had been removed from The lower

l.. 7. DAVIS EXPERIENCE.
Reported Drowned But Report Was
Untrue.


\ report came to towp Friday after
noon that Il I Davis, who lives on what
is known rs the DIR Hull farm three
miles north of town, had been drowned
while trying to get his stock from the
pasture in tho lowlanls along North
Fork. But while jasper citizels were
expressing their regrets at his sudden
taking away Mr.. Davis was clinging for
dear life in the top o; a tree with large
expaps of rushing water ali around him.
Mr.. Davis los. bis hold in the tree three
times and fell back inLO the water be
fore h was finally rescued from bis
perilols position by several neighbors
with the aid Of poles aud ropes.
Mr. Davis had started to the pasture
on his pony to try to rescue his cattle
but before he had gone very far he WAS
swept OFT his horse and was saved only
10y catching onto the tree. AS it was he
was rescued just in time as the tree in
which he was lodged was under water
by the time that the flood had reached
its Leght.

A HIGH AVERAGE.
For the Year for Butter fat Big sum
Paid out by Local Creamery.

Between $4,000 and $50, 900 in
cash has been paid out during the
past twelve months by the Corval-
lis Creamery for butter tat. Though
but little is ever said about it, the
enterprise conducted by Mr..
Kaupisch is one of the most i'm
portant industries in the county.
1t is perhaps the biggest single
creamery in business in the Will
lamette valley. 1t is known
through a medium that makes no
mistake. that it buys more butter
fat, sells more butter and pays out
more money than any other estab-
llshment OF the kind in the valley.
Its butter product brings the fam
clest figure in the markets. The
probabilities are, that nearly as
much money a actually paid out
by Mr.. Kaupisch to his patrons for
butter fat as, was paid out for this
years wheat crop delivered in Cor
wallis.
Butter tat IS now 80 cents at the
creamery. The average price paid
through the year has been between
2o and Fl cents. The place is now
making 4 ooo pounds of butter a
week, more than 600 pounds per
day. The cream comes from Ben
ton and adjoining counties, inc1ud-.
ing large shipments from Yaquina
Bay. Monroe is furnishing a con-
siderable supply, and the Alsea
farmers are becoming patrons of
the establishment.
The experience Of those who
are dealing with the creamery is
that the industry is profitable for
the farmer, especially where the
standard of the herd has been pro.
perly raised. If there have been
failures, it is traceable to poverty

MAIL MAN SAYS IT.
Benton Roads far Better Something
About Corvallis R. F. D,
RorteS.

All the R. F. D. routes out of
Corvallis are handling a greater
volume of business, and showinga
greater increase in the number of
patrons than. was ever expected Of
them when they were established.
Better still, their influence in secur.
ing a betterment of the roads fol-
lowed by the routes has been more
potent than was ever hoped for by
by the man responsible for their
being established. That is the
statement Of Postal Inspector Glenn
ent, who has been in town several
days on official business. The de-
claration is made, after a trip over
three of the routes in as many days
and of observations actually made
along each route. Today, MI.
Clement, in company with the car
rier is making the rounds of the
fourth route. It is supposed that a
favorable report of the observations
will find its way to the authorities
at Washington, and that perman-
ency will, at least. be the case, if
the material improvement in the
roads, so well, begun, is keptup SO
that within a reasonable time the
trip can be made with a reasonable
degree of ease and celebrity.
The R. F. D. routes are great
road builders, and great developers
of the country. Wherever he goes
in the prosecution Of his duties.
Mr.. Clement finds this to be the
rule. The patrons want the free
rural service continued. An essen
tial thereto is a road that can be
travelled in the winter time. That
influence organizes every patron
along that route into a society in
terested deeply in the betterment
eff the roads along the route. The
carrier is a constant kicker fof i'm
pro1ements, and the upshot is that
the roads neglected and sighted
for forty years receive attentions
that never would have come to them
apparently, but for the farmers

Crime is-District Attorney so De-
elares-Court Expenses Smallest


An incident of last weeks trial
in the circuit court vas a pungent
and interesting statement by Dis
trict Attorney George Brown. II
was at the Wednesday evening SEES
sion, and the argument Of the at
torneys was on. There was a big
crowd in the court room, one OF
the largest seen there at a trial in
years. District Attorney Brown
was making the closing argument
in behalf of the prosecution, and
was most forcible and convincing
in his oratory. In tact, Mr.. Brown
is one of the best criminal lawyers
as we'll as one of the finest jury
speakers in the state. Attorney
Wyatt had preceded Mr.. Brown.
and had, in the cours Of his adj
dress, declared that Benton county
is a county of cranks, or words to
that effect. Abiding to the refer
enee, Mr.. Brown explained that he
did not fully understand what was
meant by the word "cranks" as
used by Mr.. Wyatt, and said in eff
fect:s II want to congratulate the
people of Benton county upon the
lofty character of their citizenship.
I want to congratulate Benton
county and her citizens upon the
high reputation she carries among
her sister counties. | want to add
that no county in Oregon, in pro-
portion to its population, has SO
little litigation in the courts, as
does this county Of Benton with its
alleged cranks. No county ID Ore
gon, in proportion to its population
has SO few criminal prosecutions;
no county has so few persons
brought to the bar of justice; nc
county in the second Judicial dis.
tIict is at so little expense in the
conduct of its court as is Benton,
and no county anywhere is better
fit ed by the character of its people
to be the home Of a great educa-
tional institution, as, is Benton
county, with its so-ca1led cranks."
There was a deep hush in the
court room as with the utmos'
dramatic effect the lawyer hurled
forth his characterization of ole
Benton. There was a deeper hush
when be had concluded the flight
and then there would have been &
stormy response to the sentimen
but for the presence of Judge an6
jury. It was a beautiful tribute

The biggest thing in town for the.
past few days has been two beef
steers and the connection they
aroused, Friday and Saturday af-
ternoon they were exhibited on the
street for people to guess at. Half
the town turned out to see them,
and everybody guessed. The sports
got to betting on the weights, and
several hundred dollars was finally
staked on the question of what the
steers would show when put on the
scales. They were Christmas. beef
for the Homer Lilly market and
cash prizes were awarded for best
guesses on their combined weight
and their Individual weights.
The aggregate weight was guessed
exactly by three persons, DR.. E. H.
Taylor, A. Leader and D. c. Heis-
ton. The guess of each was $3.50
pounds, which was the combined
weight of the two steers. George
Belt guessed in half a pound OF the
weight of the b1ack one. Its weight

FOR ONE COUNTY.
Half a Million Dollars by Sale of Cows
W Willamette Might do.

MI. Schu1merick, the we'll known
Washington county dairyman was
in town yesterday, enroute home
from Alsea, where he went with
DR.. Withycombe to hold a Farmers
Institute. Mr.. Schulmerick, being
a practical dairyman of great ex-
perience and pronounced success, is
added to the staff of lecturers at all
Institutes held now in dairying sec
tons, and it was on this account
that he went to Alsea. In the
Times Office he dropped a bit of in
formation that is of value to those
who fesd skim milk to hogs. Here
is what he said:
1T has been demonstrated that
to get the best value from skim milk
in hog feeding, three pounds of it
should be given with one pound of
meal or other mill feed. Fed on a
proportion of three pounds of milk
to one of meal. skim milk has a
food value Of 40 cents per hundred
pounds. If it be fed in a proper
ton of 10 pounds of milk to one of
meal, its food value is only IS cents
per 100 pounds. If fed straight,
without meal, its food value is only
10 cents per 1oo have full con-
fdence in these statements, having
frequently demonstrated their truth
in the S Of skim milk on my own
farm"
Mr.. Schulmerick is emphatically
opposed to the dual COW theory,
that is, to the breeding of an ami
NAL supposed to be good for both
beef and milk. He says such a
COW cannot be pro6tably kept on a
farm. The design should either be
for beef altogether, or for milk ex-.
clusively. Another plan he says
will turn out to be improbable.
He adds that Washington aid
Eastern Oregon are already turning
to the Willamette Valley for a sup
ply of dairy cows. A Washington
man was at Mr. Schulmerick' farm
in Washington county the other day,
hunting for high grade Jersey
cows and heifers to freshen in the
autumn. He wanted a carload, but
was unable to get them. Those
who had such cattle did not want
to part with them. Later, an
Eastern Oregon man on the same
errand and seeking the same num-
Der applied to Mr.. Schulmerick, but
couldn't buy a hoof.
One county in Wisconsin this
season sold half a million dollars
worth of dairy COWS and heifers.
Some of them went as far south as
Mexico. One herd of 26 graded
cows brought $4,000, all in one sale
for shipment southwark. Half a
million for dairy cattle In a single
county is a magnificent revenue,
