IS AGAINST IT.
Avery Opposes the
Granting Of a 80 Years
Light Franchise.

Editor TINES: 1 respectfully
call the attention Of Corvallis peo-
pie to the proposition to grant a
franchise, which will tie the city up
in the electric light business for a
period of 80 years. I am of the
opinion that if this proposition
were thoroughly understood that the
people would be almost unanimous
i'll opposition to it, 1t is to come
up for final passage in the city
council next Monday night and it
seems to me that before a final
step is taken all the people should
have a complete understanding Of
the matter. I do not believe that
any franchise should be fastened
upon a city for so long a term as
30 years until after the people
have come to a full knowledge of
the facts, and have had a chance
to vote upon, the proposition at a
popular election.
The city already has a light con-
tract and is bound by a light fran
chise for eight years. The prices
that we are now paying for light
are all or more than we ought to
pay. Within eight years by the
development of water power and
invention of appliances, the cost Of
lighting is certain to be immensely
chespened. Yet, as a city, bound.
: as we are by contract we cannot
! get the advantage of such decrease
I in the cost of lighting. If'this BE-
true for eight years, immensely
: more would it be true on a 80 years
l proposition. and how foolish il
would be for the council at thi:
time to tie the people up to such {
: scheme.
:, The day of granting free frar
p chises to corporations and othersno
long terms is over. 1t is one of tn
+ means by which a few people &c
rich at the expense of the many
People have come to understand
that granting such franchises
upon mere promises of some bene6
! that is to accrue, is wrong in prin
a ciple and disastrous in practice
The talk of the corporation tina
wants this franchise that this vii
be the only chance to get electri
power to Corvallis is nonsense
There is enough power in the Nc
{ Kenzie river alone to supply powe
:, to every city, town and farm in tn
whole Willamette Valley, and it i
a matter of only a few years until
will be done, and at a cost so chea
that electric lights and lightin:
will be within reach of all, the poo
not excepted. If Corvallis want
!? the benefit of the coming cheape
light, she had better not bind her
self hand and foot for the next :
1t years.

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
Three Lads the Victims Guns and
Feed Choppers.

Hugh F. Weitman, a lad of 16,
residing with his mother on a ranch
two miles from Corvallis in Linn
county, was the victim of an accid-
ent Wednesday that robbed him of
one toe. In handling a shot gun
the young man rested the barrel on
his foot, not knowing that the gun
was cooked. In some manner the
weapon was discharged and the
little toe Oh the right foot was shat
tered. Dr.. Cathey was summoned
from Corvallis, and upon examina-
ton found that amputation of the
injured member was necessary. The
wonder is that the entire foot was
not involved III the shooting.
Another accident happened late
Tuesday evening, the victim being
Milton, the II year old son of w.
H, Harper, residing near the Sol
King farm west of town. A feed
chopper was in operation and the
boys index finger on the left hand
was caught. 1t was so badly LAGER
ated that a portion of the finger had
to be amputated.
While playing with a piece of
steel Tuesday, the five year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. Dinges, cut
Il finger quite severely on the
sharp metal. The wound was not
thought to be of any consequence,
but the little fellow is now suffer
ing with blood poisoning and is TN
der the care Of a physician.

didates of whom there are many,
as the positions r considered de-
sirable, promotions being rapid,
and the pay very good. Third
lieutenants receive $1,1oo, End

vermont's Great
Magnetic Healer,

What do you know about magnet
ism? What do you know about mag
netic healing? Do you know that
magnetism is a universal law of ap-
plication? How can a universal law
| fail? Can steam fail? Can mathe-
mates fail? These are all universal
in their action and application. If
one can fail then all can fail If
magnetism will cure some diseases
and not others. then mathematics
will keep some accounts right and not
Others.
Remember. that magnetism is the
actual fuel of flame of the blood.
| Magnetism in the blood is the cause
of circulation in this fluid, and
through this vital action every organ
and every gland responds to natural
rhythmic vibration. This means
health. Deplete the blood of this mag
netic attraction and repulsion and
some portion of the body becomes
diseased. Prof. Wilkins's method re-
stores the magnetic vibration in the
blood, and at once removes the cause
of disease and restores the sick pa
tient to health.
"TRUTH WEARS NO MASK AND
SEEKS NO CROWN"
All that Prof. Wilkins asks is that
you give MIN a falr chance and he Will
convince any intelligent man, wom-
an or child of his power to heal. If
you are sick or afflicted you can do
no less than try this wonderful method
of healing. Prof. wilkins will be re-
sponsible for the rest. He. will tell
you at sight what ails you. He will
tell you whether or not he can help
Or cure you. 1t won't cost you one
cent to find out, and you have a per-
sonal invitation to call at his office
and consult this great healer free of
charge. His days are Thursdays. Fri
days and Saturdays on North Hins-
dale Road Brattleboro.

days, Ellis House. keene, N. II. Free

Fancies in China.

Much of the handsome china used
nowadays is marked with the mono
gram or crest of the owner. 1t Is a
distinctive mark that differentiates the
china from all the other ware, and the
lettering is an ornament in itself. 1t
is usually the more simple china that
is ornamented in this way, and an at
tempt is made always to put the letter
ing upon the side or wing Of plate,
as the professional will say, to pre-
vent wear. Old-time china was fire.
uuently marked in the center OF the
plate and the marking was worn away
by the knife and fork. In some In
stances entire sets Of china for differ
ent courses are marked, and always
each piece of a dish-the cover, the
dish itself, and, if soup tureen, the
piece upon which it rests. The let
ters for the marking are always the
initials of the mistress Of the house
and are put on in script in preference
to the black letters. The lettering Is
usually in gold, but occasionally one
letter will be put in color and the
others in gold. The gold may be fiat
or raised, and upon this will depend
largely the cost of the lettering.-Chi-
cago Journal.
