Write of Their Experiences.

Mr.. and Mrs. S. II. Horton of
this city are now in UmatilJa
county, and to the Gazette Mr..
Horton sends the following note
from Milton:
"Since we arrived here the
weather has been very warm; no
day but what it has been 90 to
Io4. The Walla Wal1a river
valley here is 12 miles long and
about one-fourth mile wide;
above here it is very narrow.
The hills are very high, from 500
to 600 feet, and all bare. There
is some timber in the valley, or
they call it timber, bat in Benton
county we would call it brush.
"From Pendleton to Walla
Walla is a fine wheat country;
all the fall wheat is a good crop.
They are harvesting now, but
spring grain will be damaged by
the hot weather.
81 had a ride through the
country in an automobile and
went around some in a buggy,
but the hot weather prevented
me from going as much as I
should have liked.
"The fruit in the Wa1la Walla
valley was nearly all killed by
heavy frosts in the spring. Other
places it was damaged to a
great extent.
'My wife is feeling better than
when we left Corvallis.
''We have trout nearly every
day. We are going to Spokane
from here. AS it is farther north
it may be cooler.

Why Not?

In spite of "Clean-Up' day,
with all its offers of free drays
and free help, and in the face of
all that has been said and written
asking the people to clean up
their premises in this city, there
is apparently no interest taken in
the matter except by few, a
very few, residents. What is
wrong? Are Corvallis citizens
less public spirited than those of
neighbering cities? Are they
lacking in the kind of pride that
causes man to take personal
interest in seeing things orderly
and urges him TO do all he can to
aid in the movement towards
cleanliness?
What is wrong with the church
people that SO many of the church
grounds are ove1grown with
weeds, Uttered with rubbish and
show a woeful lack of attention?
The best class of citizens ought
surely to set an example for
Others, aud no better place could
be found on which to manifest a
desire tor order, beauty and clean
illness than several of the local
church lawns and back wards. =
Another thing in connection
with cleaning up: Don't dump
your trash, dead cats, dogs, and
other rubbish onto the vacant lot
just over the fence. That lot be-
longs to someone, and that '''some-
one" will have it to clean up,
and may make it uncomfortable
for you if he learns who imposed
upon him in such a way. These
things have already been done in
Corvallis, and it is time that a
halt was called.
Let everyone look to his own
property and in cleaning up his
home premises every man is do
ing the best thing possible for a
beautiful and hea1thful Corvallis.
Soon the rain will be here again,
SO let church people, the COM
mon people, and all the people,
join in the move and rid Corval-
lis of all the shacks, china dens,
rubbish piles, unsishtly alleys,
untidy grounds and other eye
sores that mar an otherwise lovely
city.

In connection with the above
the Gazette is also furnished the
following data concerning the
Northwestern Gas and Electric
Company's power plant, situated
on the south fork OF the Walla
Walla river, in Umatilla county,
about six and cne- half miles from
Milton:
This plant consists of three 500
kilowat units at present, with
provisions for installing the
fourth of like capacity, or 1866
horse power, with proper step-up
transformers, which. raises the
machines voltage from 2, 800 to
IS, 900, at which voltage the cur
rent is transmitted to Walla Wal
la, WASH, "a miles away, also
to Pendlelon, Or, 81 miles, and
is used for lighting and power
purposes.
The water for operating said
plant is diverted five and one
half miles above the plant and
carried to a reservoir, through a
barrel stave pipe four inches in
diameter, the head obtained is
575 pounds pressure.
This plant was started in oper-
alton Jan. I. 1905, and was visit
ed by a flood in May, 1906.

The Exporting Completed.

Benton countyNs sheriff is the
second in the state to pay too
much money over to the county
during his term of office. The
first was Sheriff johnson of Gil
liam county, whose books were
exported recently. This state
ment was published in Port
land paper few days ago. But
when w. G. Emery completed
the task yesterday of exporting
the Benton county books, it was
discovered that Sheriff Burnett

In looking up and down the
streets of Corvallis these DAYS
one is apt to pause and inquire
''Where are they?" meaning the
residents who are usually to be
seen. Judging from reports a
great many are at Newport,

DAIRY MEETING HELD.
Large Attendance and Many In
teresting Subjects Discussed.


teresting Subjects Discussed.
At a meeting of dairymen held
Tuesday evening at the Alec club
rooms in Albany, Prof G. L. Nc
Kay, dairy expect of the Iowa
Agricultural College was the prin-
cipal speaker, being followed by
DR.. James Withycombe otCorval-
lis. The Herald gives the follow
ing in regard to the meeting:
Professor Mckay spoke at
length on the dairy industry, and
compared the conditions in this
section of the country to those
prevailing in England, showing
that the climatic conditions were
practically the same. He pro-
nounced Oregon to be the best
livestock state in the union.
Showing that wheat impover-
ishes the land, while dairying en-
riches the soil, Professor Mckay
cited the experience OF the people
of Belgium, Holland, Germany
and the Island of Jersey, where
t1e most valuable land is that de-
voted to dairying, and he predic-
ted that if the dairy industry in
this valley could be brought to
the point where it should be,
the land of the valley would be
valued at from 500 to 5000 per
acre and more, and with a proper
system the production of the land
would be greatly increased.
He advised the purchase OF
dairy strains of cattle for this
valley, such as the Guernseys,
Jerseys and Holsteins, and
also to keep In. mind the
fact that it was necessary to
improve the strains of stock by
breeding. selection and feeding
properly. For practical dairy
purposes grades were often very
satisfactory, and he cited the case
of Canadian dairyman whose
grade Holstein COW held the rec
ord of producing I, 600 pounds of
butter in one year.
The selection of good dairy
stock, cleanliness in handling the
product, scientific feeding and the
enrichment of the soil were the
principal points made, and he es-
pecially emphasized the selection
of the individual cow, and fire.
quent and thorough tests of indi-
vidual cows and herds, weighing
milk and feed to ascertain how
profitable each dairy animal was.
Following the address OF Pro-
fessor Mckay, DR.. James Witty
combe, director oil the OAC ex-
pertinent station, was introduced
and spoke briefly on the posi-
bilities of the soil in Oregon, and
especially in the Willamette val
icy. al luS Idl III, uS StdtCu, ~
cows had been kept this summer
on five acres, and the production
of the land where it had been
farmed in scientific manner was
enormous. He pronounced the
dairy COW the forerunner of pros
perity and the introduction of the
COW as the first step toward
wealth, and stated that when the
first creamery was built in Wash
ington county the farmers were
growing grain and were gradual
ly going into debt, but now with
dairies and creameries and two
condensed milk factories the
county supported FIVE banks,
holding deposits for farmers ag-
gregating 81, 900, 900, and the
cows did it. ne urged encour-
agement of the dairy iudustr y
and the subdivision of the farms
as the surest step toward prosper
ity.

Railroad Notes

A Chicago newspaper, discussing the
scarcity of, laborers, estimates that in
the territory west of Chicago the num-
ber wanted for new railroad construc-
ton at the present time is not less than
$4,000.
Cleveland at last has street railroad
on which passengers are carried for a
Scent fare. The company has thirteen
miles of road in operation. On Sunday
last 5000 passengers were carried.
The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Record Herald says that e. H.
Hartman is the controlling factor in
the Chicago subway, and that his
bankers have furnished the financial
backing for the enterprise for more than
a year.
The Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe have announced that when they un-
load from the cars freight which takes
the carload rate charge of 20 cents or
more ton will be made for the service,
this being necessary to comply with the
law forbidding discrimination.

HASTILY DRAW COMPLAINT
Attorneys Anxious That Some Other
Justice Than Chambers Try
Railway Case

Because the complaint issued against
Manager It. r. Gabel of the Los An
geles- Pacific Railway company and
Roy Bean, a motorman employed by
that road, on the grounds of their
violation of the fender law, has been
declared defective by attorneys, a new
complaint was quickly drawn up yes
terday by City Prosecuting Attorney
George Beebe.
The case Aas previously been up be-
fore Police Judge Austin, but the new
complaint will require II to be held
before Police Judge Rose,
The reason for the great haste in
making the new complaint is said to
be due TO the fact that had 1t not
been filed before Monday the case
would have had to have been held
before Police Judge Chambers. who is
understood to be a bitter enemy OF
the machine and It's accomplices His
reputation In deciding against the
railways in the much mooted freight
hauling case has made him unpopular
with the railway officials when they
have a questionable case In court.

MYSTERY T|NGES
SOLDIERS DEATH
FOUND IN A ROOM FILLED
WITH GAS
Closed Doors and Windows Point to
Suicide, but Motive for Self
Destruction Is Not
Known

Whether by accident or suicide Paul
Fisher, 71S Wall street, an employe
of the street department, died some
time Friday or early Saturday MORN
ing in his room and was found yes
terday morning by the rooming house
keeper, Mrs. Hauer.
Although there was some indication
of suicide about the mans death, the
room being filled with gas and all
the doors and windows closed, the
opinion is held that his demise re-
suited by accident.
The gas jet was not open to the
full and this fact gives rise to the
belief that Fisher had turned down
the gas just before he retired at night
and that the low flame flickered out
shortly after he had fallen to sleep.
The suicide theory Is not given much
credence because Fisher apparently
had no troubles and seemed to be In
the best of health. His body was TAX
en- to the Pierce Brothers morgue.
Fisher was an old soldier, GA years
of age, and leaves two daughters who
live on New York street.

NEW PULLMANs BEHAVE WORST
official Says Old Cars Stand Wreck
Better Than New

Assistant Superintendent ]. G. Yager
of New York, one of the staff OF the
Pullman company, now a guest at the
Alexandria, says it is the new Pullman
cars which invariably sustain the worst
damage in wrecks.
He told some friends yesterday that
his observation had been that in wrecks
where old and new ones were in the
telescoped or damaged trains the new
cars always Jared more badly than the
old ones if they were damaged at all.
1.-THE Pullman company Is now turn
ing out one new coach day." said Mr..
Yager. 1.-The average cost is $4,000.
Though we have five thousand cars in
service, we can't build them fast
enough"
Formerly a daughter of George M!
Pullman named all the new cars, but
now man at headquarters in Pullman,
ILL.,, does this christening and nothing
else and gets good pay for it.

PAY SIS A WEEK
TO CARRY ON THEIR
NEFARI0US TRAFFIC

During the week score of additional
pseudo clairvoyants have been visited
by Herald reporters. No great difficulty
has been experienced, though all of the
frauds have shown signs of nervous
ness. Their eagerness to gather in
few pennies, however. has outweighed
their judgment.
The thing that constantly surprises
reporters is the fact that such flimsy
frauds as that practiced by Isis and
others of her ilk can possibly deceive
even the most stupid. How anyone with
a sound mind could believe in her
spirit" picture of future husbands or
wives is beyond comprehension.
Samples of these silly pictures are dis
played with The Herald's spook window
exhibit.
That these charlatans actually do
catch suckers is evidenced by the fact
that the vampires are forced to pay
SIS month license to carry on their
nefarious work.

BELEN CUTOFF
NEARLY READY
SAVES SANTA FE LINE GRADES,
TIME AND MILEAGE
Officials Predict Diversion Will Begin
by January over Roadbed Bal
lasted with Gold-Bearing
Rock-Railroad News

The visit of the Santa Fe officials i'll
Los Angeles this week has renewed IN
terest in the construction operations Of
that system.
President e. p. Ripley and the vice
presidents gave 1t as their opinion that
no further delays need be looked for in
the opening of the diversion line known
as the Belen cutoff, though 1T would
be a gradual process, they said.
The Belen cutoff is a new piece OF
track 269 miles long, connecting TeXico
and Rio Puerco stations on the Santa
Fe. At present it is operated from
1'exico west of Sunnyside and from
Belen eastward to Vaughn. 1t is ex-
pected that complete local train service,
Including the United States mails will
be installed by January l; the details of
passenger and freight traffic over the
cut off are now being worked out.
1t is not likely that any important
changes will be made in through Santa
Fe freight or passenger trains between
Chicago and California until next sum
mer or fall, although ultimately some of
them will no doubt be run the new way.
Several months work are required for
placing heavier rails and stronger
bridges on the Panhandle division west
o. wellington.
This route Is a cutoff in more ways
than one. 1t cuts off lit feet altitude
as compared with the old line over
Ration and Glorieta passes. 1t cuts off
two mountain ranges on which 22S
miles of 3h per cent grades abound and
substitutes one mountain range with
only twenty-five miles of IN per cent
grades. 1t cuts off twelve miles OF
travel. 1t will cut off several hours
time for passenger trains and about a
days time for freight trains. 1t will
cut down operating expenses.
This Is the line noted for being bal
lasted with rock which contains large
percentage of gold
The new country opened up west of
Texico has already attracted a large
number Of settlers.
If 1t were merely to save a few miles
of travel the Belen CUTOFF would not
have been built, 1t is justified only be-
cause of the heavier loads that can be
pulled and the quicker time that can be
made. Modern railroading seeks easy
grades and direct routes.
