SYSTEM GROWING.
Benton County has Great TeIe-
phone System-Lines Being
Extended Rapidly

The Corvallis Independent
Telephone system was connected
with Alsea, Tuesday evening.
This adds 145 telephones to the
Independent system aud sub
scribers in the new territory now
talk to Corvallis direct,
The Alsea telephone company
was incorporated two years ago
and constructed line from A.
Malone's store, at the Alsea post
Office to the Benton County Lum-
Der Co.'s mill on Greasy, eight
miles from Philomath. There
the line connected with the
private wire of the Lumber Co.,
running from their mill to the
planning mill near Philomath.
The Bell Telephone company
arranged with both the Alsea
telephone company and the Lum-
Der company for the use of these
wires and then connected the
line with Philomath.
The whole Alsea Valley is al
ready well connected with tele-
phones. There is a line running
from Alsea store west to j.. E.
Banton's and on over to Doc
Toms, on Fall Creek; another
line runs from the store down
the Alsea river and around what
is known as missouri Bend"
and on to the head of tide. Still
another line runs from the store
to Lobster and Five Rivers, and
then there are two other lines
from the same store, one south
to Charley Banton's and the
other east to Ruble Bros mill.
Heretofore, in order to get
Alsea from Corvallis, it has been
necessary to first call Philomath
and have Philomath to get Alsea.
Under the new arrangement
Corvallis calls Alsea direct, and
Alsea rings Corvallis direct. Be
fore there were several farmers
telephones connected with the
main line to Alsea, so that it was
necessary to talk through fifteen
farmers telephones when talking
to Alsea. Under the changed
conditions there are no telephones
on the line between Corvallis
and Alsea.
Until the first day of April
there will be no charge for the
use of the wire to Alsea by any
subscriber of the Independent
system. Thereafter, the same
rate as heretofore charged by the
Bell company, thirty cents. will
be charged for messages between
Corvallis and Alsea, and fifteen
cents to Philomath. Several
have already taken advantage ot
an offer for unlimited switching
during one year for $2, or SIC
for ten years. This offer as wei
as the rates charged above, apply
to switching between any tele
phone on the Alsea system ant
any telephone connected will
the Corvallis switchboard.
An entirely new wire was rul
from Corvallis to the Bento,
county mills. This gives tn
subscribers to the Corvallis In
dependent Telephone system con
nection with seven hundred tele
phones in Benton county, Q
which number 24o are outside c
Corvallis. In addition to thi
the system reaches seventee
towns outside of Benton count
and is being constantly extended
Among the towns are Dallas

CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS.
The Matter of Cleaning up and
Beautifying the City is Before
the Citizens of Corvallis.

the Citizens of Corvallis.
At the meeting of the Village
Improvement Society, held in
the court house, Feb. "a, it was
voted to take active steps toward
civic Improvements. Great in
terest was manifested by those
present at the meeting and. while
it is admitted that Corvallis is
perhaps as cleanly as. the MAORI
ty of towns of her size, the
thought that she might be
rendered still more presentable
was uppermost in the minds of
those in attendance at the meet
ing.
Corvallis is a-pretty town. In
the spring of the year one may
travel a long distance and not
find another such a beautiful
place. Nature has done much
for us in many ways. We must
now do little for ourselves and
to assist nature.
There are many reasons why
the citizens Of our city should
materially assist in cleaning up
the town a little. One reason is
that common decency demands
il; without an air of cleanliness
in your surroundings you will in
time cease to be self-respecting.
A city of nonselt-respecting citi-
zens would soon lose caste among
the better class of people. Fur
thermore, for sanitary reasons, if
for nothing else, it will pay we'll
to s'tidy up'' a bit. Bear in mind
first and last, that no calamity
will E>fall you from being too
clean. Still another reason for
making the city presentable is
when she has her ''hair curled. ;,
to use the term, she will be good
to gaze upon. Nearly all of us
delight in degree in looking up
on that which is beautiful. The
town can be made not only clean
ly, but healthtu1 and beautiful as
we'll. .r-.. So
But the people as a whole must
do the work. So if you possess
anything that is dirty, clean ii
up; if it is already clean, make
it cleaner. Let those who have
nothing to clean up lend moral
support to those who have.
This is the sentiment of. mem
bers of the Village Improvement,
Society. Their work is done
without hope of monetary re.
ward. They have drafted the fol.
lowing resolutions for signer.
about town. Rev. Edwin Greer
and Professors Smell, Lake ano
Crawford have been circulating
the petition for signatures and re

Temptation in the Overrun.

We notice in the report of an Iowa
creamery that 27,67S pounds of butter
were credited to the overruh. This
is on a total production Of butter by
the creamery of ia 800 pounds of but
ter. This was made from 1862
pounds of butter fat. This overrun
figured out in per cent gives 1888 per
cent. This is at least 3 per cent
o than the average overrun. 1t
is safe to assume hat a very large
part of this overrun consists of water.
In some of the dairy districts of the
West there has been shown a strong
tendency to increase the overrun by
the incorporation of a very large
amount of water. We believe this
amounts to a tendency to deceive the
consumers of butter. Prominent in.
structors in some Of our noted dairy
states have been telling the people
how to increase the amount of water
in butter. Buttermakers in creameries
that used to incorporate only about -
per cent of water in their butter have
learned to incorporate 16 per cent.
The buttermaker of the creamery
above referred to boasts that the in
creased overrun of his factory suf-
feed to pay mis- W salary and the
salary OF his helper within about $23.
1t is generally acknowledged that
the best keeping butter contains a
comparatively small amount of water,
even as low as s or 10 per cent. The
government in fixing the legal stand
ard at l6 per cent saw that it was nee
essary to place some obstacle in the
way of this artificial increase in the
moisture content of butter. We be-
lieve that this tendency to increase
the overrun should be discouraged

Abusing tho Hand Separator.

ABUSING the Hand Separator.
There are two ways of abusing the
hand separator--one by misusing it
and tile other by maligning it. But
Tor neither of these is the hand sepa-
rator to- blame. The hand separator
mas become sc popular that in some
OF our states the number of hand sepa-
rators in use doubled annually for a
number of years, and it is now csti-
mated that in some states the ma
cnlnes are now in active service on
one-third of the farms that are sup
plying cream or milk to factories.
Increase in number of hand
separators in use has Of course been
increased by the number of central
Dutter-making plants. With the in
crease OF these plants have come new
methods and new men. Not only
are there new men at the central
butter-making plants. hut all of the
patrons that have the hand sepaca-
TORS are somewhat new at the bust
ness. The latter have not learned
how to properly take care of a sep
arator, and thence m one kind of
ABUSE. The milk is run through it
and the separator is not washed, the
farmer having somehow obtained the
q that once a day is often enough
TO clean the machine. From the time
OF separating the mornings milk till
the time for separating the evenings
milk the films of milk are left in the
machine and in hat time dry on.
Moreover much of the slime that &C.
cumualtes in the bowl continues to
remain there throughout the day.
This is bad in winter and worse in
summer.
Is it any wonder that the milk THAI
goes through such a separator be-
comes bad in less than twenty-four
hours in summer time, or that the
cream separated by a machine SO
kept ripens too rapidly in the cream
vat or has in it taints that lower the
quality of the butter? Then begins
the abuse by the creamery butter
maker. He declares that cream from
hand separators is bad and that they
ought to be driven out of the state.
But it is clear that the men arc
the ones that are responsible. The
first man was to blame for not caring
for the separator as it should be
cared for, and the second man was
to blame for not putting the blame
where it belonged. 1t is absurd to
talk of d%iscarding a good thing be-
cause some of the men that have
them are too lazy or careless to kecr
them clean.

is Per Cent Low Enouoh.

The United States government made
a ruling about two years ago that any
butter found on the market containing
more than 16 per cent of water would
be considered adulterated. A large
number of creamery buttermakers and
a few farm buttermakers had trouble
with government inspectors because
their butter when sold on the market
was found to contain moisture in ex-
cess of 16 per cent. 1t is not prob.
able that in all cases this excess of
water contained was intentional on
the part of the buttermakers. Espe-
cially on farms, the buttermakers
have no way of telling how much
water their butter contains. When
the temperature is in the nineties in
the simmer time the churning is Ger
tain to incorporate more than the lie.
gal amount of moisture, as the high.
er the temperature the greater amount
of moisture incorporated. We notice
that some of u contemporaries are
advocating that the government low
er the standard to about IA per cent
We believe that the present standard
is low enough; for the lower the
standard the more certain it is to be
exceeded by the makers of butter on
the farm.

Dear Sir:-I take pleasure in drop.
ping you a few lines to let you know
how we are getting along up here and
how We like the place. We have been
here close on to a year now and think
the place is fine. We have been out
every day this winter working in the
bush getting out logs for buildings,
ETC., getting rails for fencing. We
have not suffered with the cold as
much as we did in Chicago. My lit
tie boys are out every day with their
sleighs having a good time. The low.

winter is "a below, and it is very STILL

We had a splendid summer. W.
put up about so tons of hay and will
have about 30 IONS to sell. Hay
brings SO per ton now and will be
higher in the spring. We have 20
acres broke and ready for crop. We
worked on the Can. Nor. Ry. fol
awhile this summer and am just
miles from the r. r. and town site
The steel is all laid to within
miles of the river and we often see
the train bringing supplies for the
Bridge.
My wife's people are coming UP
about May. I wish you would write
them and if there should be any one
coming to Prince Albert that could do
with a half a car let them know. The
~homesteads are all taken up within
IL miles Of US. I often think If this
land were only in the States what q
rush there would be. 1t is the rich
est land and most productive I evel
saw, and the climate is o. X.
l know that people back there tina,
l write to do not believe me when
write them what a splendid winter
We are having. They think we are all
frozen up. We have only about 8
inches of snow, and there are cattle
on the range that have not been
rounded up this winter. Day after day

1t is because at this time of the year
people feel rundown, nerveless, ~sleepless
and worn out. Poisons have accumu-

product which poisons the system. That
Is why in the spring and early summer a
tonic is almost Q necessity. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery being made of
medicinal plants, is next to nature and
the best tonic you can use. For the same
reason that vegetables and greens are
good for the system at this time of the
year, so is it true that a tonic made up
entirely Of medicinal plants, without the
