THE BOTTOM OUT.
Of Cascara Market Three
Years Supply Of Bark
on Hand.

The chittim-peeling season is on
and there are inquiries as to prices.
Present indications are not atall pro-
missing, is what local dealer said
today. Two and half to three cents
is the best price possible in Corval-
lis now, and that is the Portland
price. There is big surplus OF
the bark on hand, and until it is
consumed in large part high figures
will not again rule. The story OF
the situation is we'll told in the fol.
lowing from the Oregonian OF
Thursday:
Cascara bark is again being offer
ed rather freely, but there is almost
no market at all for it. The lead.
ing dealers quote prices nominally
at two and two and a half cents
for new and two and a half and
three cents for old bark. The heavy
unsold surplus is what depresses
the market, as about three years
supply still remains on hand. Until
this accumulation is worked off,
there can be no material improve
ment in price, and the surplus is
not going to be reduced as long
as peeling continues. If nc
bark were peeled for two or three
years it would not only give 6
chance for the market to advance
again, but the bark would also be
much heavier by that time.

AS TO BEEF.
Steers are High Priced now.
Five Cents IN Portland
for top Stuff.

The present excellent prices for
beef cattle are encouraging to stock
men. Top beef is worth five cents
in Portland which would be equal
to four and half here. There is
little or no such beef in this local
ity however, says local grower,
but the best steers of the vicinity
ought to bring something like four
and quarter cents. A good ami
NAL at that figure ought to yield
its owner very close to $50. A
we'll known stockman who has such
beef, and which he will turn off in
about two weeks, bought his steers
about this time last year at $40 per
head. The contrast In price is
very marked. Cattle have been very
low for a couple of years, but it
looks now as if the reactionary fig
ure had set in. There is prospect
that in little while there would be
a packing house in Portland. which
oufht to mean a steady market and
an inexhaustible market for beef,
pork and mutton for all time, after
which the low prices of the past
months ought to become unknown.

"A Philomath correspondent
says: A construction crew under
the supervision of Assistant En-
gineer Bogue, is engaged in placing
along Main street, the laterals and
hydrants which have been provided
by the city council to attach to the
Corvallis water conduit. With four
hydrants stationed at convenient
intervals, aud six hundred feet OF
hose to play stream on the col
lege, any business house, and at
least half of the residences of the
city can be rea ched with water in
case of fire. r. It is doubtful If there
is another town in Oregon that ever
had water system brought right
to its streets without expending a
dollar for subsidizing the project.
The people Of Philomath ought tc
appreciate the public spiritedness
of the business men of Corvallis
who have at an enormous expense
to their city projected and with dis
patch brought to completion a pub
lie utility of which we are to be re-
cipients for only a nominal ex.
penditure.

TWO BIG LINES.
Of Telephone Added to Local
System-Newport and
Kings Valley.

Two new lines of telephone have
been added to the local Independ-
ent system. One is the Kings
Valley-Summit line, which was
connected up with the local Inde.
pendent Office Tuesday evening.
It is called the Summit Telephone
Company The rates for toll mes
sages have not been fixed, and will
not be until there is meeting of
stockholders, many of whom are
Corvallis business men.
The other line is the Yaquina
Bay Mutual Telephone and Im-
provement Company's Commercial
wire, which was brought to the
city limits Tuesday evening and
which is being connected up with
the local Independent Office today.
It comes from Newport via Toledo,
Elk City, Eddyville. Sum
NIT and Blodgett, !. following
the Cardwell hill road toSCorvaliis.
At various points the company has
switchboards to connect local lines
to the trunk line, giving direct
service to remote districts, where
telephone few years ago was not
dreamed of. The company was or
ganized about a year ago in Lincoln
county and its principal stockhold'
ers are Lincoln and Benton people.
They are operating about 100 miles
of line and are continually adding
to lines and equipment. The
completion Of this line gives tele.
phone service to Newport which
will be a great convenience to the
people of Corvallis and other valley
towns during the summer season
A. T. Peterson, of Toledo, is sec:
retary of the company.
The building of the line has been
under the direction of John Hewitt,
who has had force of seven men
most of the time. Construction
operations began at Newport July
Goth, last year and Summit was
reached In September. Work was
resumed at Summit March goth,
and the city limits of Corvallis was
reached last Tuesday. The rates
for toll have not been fixed.

HOW THEY POISON.
Why Canned Goods Some;
times Kill People Some
hing to be Avoided.

The importance of not buying
canned goods which have been re-
processed is a subject treated in de-
tail in a recent bulletin on Can
ning' by Prof. Pernot. The way
to tell that the goods have been re-
processed is explained in the article.
The purpose of heating fruit to
be canned is to kill the spores or
germs, which if left undestroyed
cause fermentation. Atemperature
of 24o degrees is usually resorted
to for this purpose. Prof Pernot
has however, discovered and point
ed outin his bulletin that more that
one heating is necessary and that
lower temperature may be used
which lower temperature prevents
destruction of the fiber. He uses
three applications of heat. If all
the spores are not destroyed in the
first heat, they grow and fermenta-
ton quickly begins. The canning
people watch for this fermentation,
the usual sign being a swelling of
the can. It is then that a small
hole is punched through the top
of the can to ease the pressure from
the inside. The buyer can always
tell when this has been done, be-
cause small drop of solder is ap-
piled to close the hole, and by
watching for it, can always see it
on the top of the can. Its presence
there is sure sign that after can
ming, the fruit has started to spoil,
and that it has been re-processed.
That in turn means that there is
danger inside the can, for fruit so
re-processed is very liable to have
developed ptomain poison, which
poison is dangerous and many timss
fatal to human life. In the camp
where E. E. Cooper remained for
two days during the recent burning
of San Francisco, 200 people were
poisoned by eating canned goods,
and several deaths ensued. It is
for these reasons that canned goods
with an extra drop of solder on the
top of the can should be avoided.
Prof. Pernot's bulletin, in which
the above is only incidental has
attracted wide attention. Among
letters received from far and wide
as result of the bulletin was one
the other day from big can-mak-
ing establishment at Rutland, Ver-
mont, in which the writers state
that the announcement only cor
roborates surmise they have for
a long time held.

lief afforded, in the way Of clothing,
by Corvallis ladies. The letter

all in the great disaster. The letter
is as follows:
San francisco, April 80.
Dear Mrs. Cannon;
I found your card among
things that were sent to the S. F.
sufferers, and as I am one of them
I want to thank you for whatever
you sent, whether it is the waist on
my back or something else. You
have helped in our distress and may
you never experience the distress
and feeling that we have gone
through. AS this is the only card
I found, I can only thank you, but
you can extend our thanks to any.
one else who was as kind. We
were driven out by the fire, after
which our house was blown up
On the hill we suffered intensely
from pouring rain and the want o.
necessaries. We had two shocks
last night and we live in dread oi
others. We have been through il
all. We are all so thankful to such
as you. May God bless you and
yours. Again thanking you, au
yours,

OIL TRUST SUSPECTED
BEHIND THE MOVEMENT,

Topeka, Kas., March 1.-THE action
OF the railroads entering this state, in
deciding to discontinue transporting
crude and refined oil at the rates
named in the maximum freight rate
law enacted by the state legislature
year ago, has caused CONSERVATION
among the independent refiners of
this state The railroads declare that
the rates named in the law are dis
criminative and confiseatory, and that
they would lose money should they
transport oil at those figures.
The maximum freight rate law was
one of four enacted by the Kansas
legislature during the height of the
anti-Standard Oil company crusade a
year ago and has been the most
sefviceables os The four Z cut the
freight rates on oil squarely in two
and enabled the Independent produc-
ers to find market for their low
grade or fuel oil. II also enabled the
independent refners to market their
product on parity with the Standard
Oil company in Kansas. Both the
state refinery law and the act making
oil pipe lines common carriers have
already been declared unconstitu-
tional. The independent producers
and refners will now make a deter
mined effort to obtain from the su-
preme court a decision confirming the
validity of the rate law. Feeling
among Independent producers here is
strong, and there is a prevalent be-
lief that the oil trust influence is be-
hind the action of the railroads.

GOVERNMENT WILL FIGHT
CONCESSIONS TO RADICAL 6

st. Petersburg, March 7.-Although
yesterdays manifesto and ukase. re-
ferring to the national assembly
leaves considerable vagueness re-
garding the exact status of the parlia-
meht under the new political scheme
of the government-the yagueness
perhaps being intentional and in
tending that future definition will
be according to the development of
events-it is made clear that Russia
mas not been granted a written con-
stltution. The cabinet, as in the Ger
man system, remains quite independ-
ent of the majority in parliament
The hope expressed that after the
manifesto of October Both, that the
cabinet would be responsible to the
national assembly, according to the
British assembly, has not bee nreal-
lied. The government believes it will
control the new parliament and pur-
poses to fight any further concess-
ions to the radical parties. That it
expects to succeed is evident by the
fact that Witte definitely changes
his plans and will not retire upon the
opening of the national assembly. His
decision is expected to aid in the ne
gotiation for a new foreign loan of
which the treasury stands in urgent
need
