WEAVING RARE GoBELINs
Hard Work and Small Pay for the
Men Who Do 1t


The foreman of the weaving plant
stood by while the weavers were be-
ing paid off. Some were paid 8 cents
yard, others 10, II and II, accord
ing to the number of picks" in the
cloth, or threads to the square inch.
There's a man who did ia yards
of 60 picks at II cents yard" he
said, as the cashier paid over to the
weaver $13.68. That's pretty good
weeks work. And yet there are
weavers who turn out only one yard
of stuff a year They are the Gobe-
lin tapestry weavers, who work in
the factory in Paris, which is owned
by the French government They aver
age in the year only from one to
three yards of goods, according to the
fineness of the weave and the intri-
cacy of the pattern.
"These weavers work at hand looms
where they put in the filling, or weft,
with a shuttle held in the left hand.
! The back of the tapestry is toward
them. A mirror shows them the other
side. Baskets of wool in every shade
or color surround them. They use
| 1 400 tones in ALL Skilled as these
workingmen are, their pay is no big
ger than that of the ordinary Ameri
can laborer They get about $500
year on an average, or about $12
! week. But then it must be remember
ed that dollar goes further il
France than it does here. These
Gobelin tapestries, requiring years II
the making, are, of course, very ex
pensive. An offer of $4,000 wouldn'
get some of them.
New Gobelins you can't buy at all

without an effort batfie-p perhaps Z
sacrifice The price Of success must al
ways be paid in advance The Goddess
of Fortune withholds the palm sof victory
until the price has been paid. Waterloo
was not won nor Wellington's name
placed upon the immortal tablets of his
tory, until Marshall Ney's Old Guard,
the phantom of the battlefield, had been
cut asunder and 10000 men fell upon
''Tbe field OF strife whose dews are blood
and whose husbandman is DEATH"
The future. however, is spanned by q
rainbow of promise. The star of new
age is approaching the zenith of new
epoch in the history of the West. Pro-
0ress will be the watchword; Develop
ment the motto; and Perseverance the
key to the vaults of success.
In an optomistic mood caught
glimpse of the future. The Willamette
Valley was q 6ell of industry. Farms
rose then where forests stand now.
Vineyards purpled the hillsides and
fields of waving gold crowned their
crests. The villages were transformed
into towns; the towns into cities; our
cities into storm centers of Commerce
aud culture. The smoke fromsour factor
les rose skyward with the CLARK and the
spires from our churchess viedTrwith the
steeples from our colleges. Values in-
creased; taxes decreased yet left the ex-
chequers of our municipalities overflow
ing with funds for public veal. .The
steam and electric lines scheckered the
bosom of the Valley with a network of
steel, while the charming W thistle and
plaintive exhaust of thesriver messenger
of commerce echoed upon an unfettered
river from Corvallis to the sea. Can we
stretch the canvas upon the easel, take
up the brush and paint this picture in
reality? We can. Let us then turn our
faces to the emblazoned heights of wor-
thy ambition where success sits enthron-
ed like some faDled god, and guide our
footsteps upon the sands of time, midst
the thorns and the roses, through the
sunshine and the shadows, to the en-
bellished crest upon which the sunbeams
of glory never set, drinking encourage
ment and breathing consolation from the
immortal words of Penn,-
"No pain, no palm 40 thorns, no throne;
No gall, no glory; no cross, no--crown."

OVer.Bmdened Women.

Many man sees his wife bend and
tug at burdens that strain the back and
the heart alike, without any idea of the
outrage. Children follow in too quick
succession to allow the mother time to
recuperate. The womanly organs become
displaced, there are debilitating disagree
able drains, with the added pain Of in
famed or liberated parts In this cond;-
household load, afraid to take the rest
she needs lest a meal will be late. No
: wonder she is pale, weak, .wretched, surly
of temper and snappish of tongue. She
would be false to nature if she were any
thing else No persons need help so much

Professor Cordleu


Professor Cordley assures us
that it IS his inteIrtion TO give
great attention to the orchards
of Benton county. He finds on
every hand an evidence of San
Jose scale and deplores the fact
that people have carelessly all
lowed this pest to get such start
of them. All through the coun-
" the conditions of the orchards
are much the same, while in
town things are fully as bad as in
the country.
The professor states he will
vigorously prosecute his duty
even to the point of condemning
an entire orchard should the
owner fail to regard the law as
applied to fruit pests. At pres
ent Prof. Cordley has not the
time at his disposal that he would
like in order to investigate Ger
tain orchards, but will do what
is sossible at present and will be
pleased to have all who are strug-
Cling against the ravages of the
fruit pest consult him at any
time. just as soon as college IS
out he will be found in the or
chards early and late.
Everywhere in this city there
is an evidence of the deadly work
of pests. So far as the city is
concerned it is quite likely that
some party will undertake the
work of spraying, going from
house to house. In this way it
will not work a hardship On those
who have only a few trees, as
they will not be compelled to
outfit for the work. Should any
person undertake the work here
in Corvallis it will be done under
Prof. Cordley's direction. In all
sincerity, let US admonish all to
pay attention to these matters
and save not only their fine fruit
trees, but trouble for themselves
as we'll.

RATES STIR SENATE.
Senator Fulton Holds Floor for
Two Hours.

the Washington ID, o. Post,
of january II, and gives line
ON Senator Fulton, of Oregon:
Rate legislation held the
boards in the Senate yesterday.
The question was brought for
ward unexpectedly, and from a
sourse that had not been guard
ed AS soon as the topic was
sprung, the Senate sat bolt up
right and took notice. Every
Senator in the chamber turned
in his seat. and gave attention to
each speaker in turn with an
Intensity of interest much like
thu manifested by jurors at a
murder trial.
The debate was provoked by
Mr. Fulton, of Oregon, who
made his first appearance, so to
speak, before the Senate, and
who, by the way, created an eX-
cellent impression. He offered
ars amendment to the Dolliyer
bill, giving the courts power to
modify orders Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission when
such orders are confiscatory.
Mr.. Fulton proceeded to explain
his proposition and almost in a
twinkling Messrs. Foraker,
Bailey, Spooner and Nelson were
at it hammer and tongs. 1t
semed at one time that the whole
question was to be opened up
and seriously debated. Mr.. Full
toms speech was interrupted so
frequently and at such consider
able length that he was compell-
ed to occupy the floor for more
than two hours He brought out
one of the finest skirmish fights
of which the Senate has yet
been the scene on the question
of railroad reform.
Mr. Fulton said that his pro-
vision is intended ito prevent the
enforcement of unjust DEGREES,
and argued that as the Dolliver
bill now stands in case such an
order should be issued, it would
be impossible for the commission
to change it until after great de-
lay, with consequent great ex-
penSe.
In response to suggestion by
Mr.. Clay he contended that the
amendment does not confer leg
islative functions upon, the
courts. He said that only Con-
gress had power to fix rates, but
that it could enact laws delegat-
ing the authority.
He said in response to a ques-
ton from Mr.. McCumber that
he did not consider the determi-
nation of what was a reasonable
rate in given case a matter for
legislation, but rather for judi |
-cial determination.
Mr.. Foraker also took the view
that such action was necessarily |
a judicial function, and said that |
courts fixing such rates should |
have authority to enjoln greater
rates than those fixed by them.
Mr.. Spooner defined the pre-
sent status to be in accordance
with decisions of the Supreme
Court, that the courts had the
right TO determine what rate
was reasonable in designated |,
cases, but that the fixing of
rates for the future was neces-
sarily not judicial function.
Mr.. Fulton and Mr.. Bailey en-
gagged in a colloquy about the j
question of rates, the former
contending for the right, of the I
courts to determine what was a
rate and the latter in .
aiming to theopinion that courts d
.ould only determine that certain I
.ases were unreasonable. Mr.. s
fulton conterded that the de-
of the one point in :,
luded the other, but Mr.. Bailey 81
