The Camel's Bite . had Feature Of
the Desert Ride.
The camel Is dangerous animal to
ride-a much more dangerous animal
than the horse-for the reason that
with his serpentine neck he can reach
round when annoyed and bite his rider.
Camel are not all the patient, quiet,
kindly creatures they are painted.
They have very nasty tempers. A car
AVIAN, crossing the desert, Is always
noisy; the loud and angry snarls Of the
camels make the waste places resound.
A camel's bite is serious matter.
The strong teeth lock In the wound,
and a circular motion Is given to the
jaw, around and then back, before the
teeth are withdrawn again. The wound
is horrible one. There are few camel
drivers without camel scars.

and Whittingham was looking her best AZ
we made our way along the avenue Lead
ing to the Piazza 1871. The President
walked briskly, silent but serene: I fol-
lowed, the trouble in my mind reflected
in somewhat hang-dog air, and 1 was
much comforted when the President broke
the stiffness of the night by saying:
You have set your foot on the first
rung of the ladder that leads to fame and
wealth, Mr.. Martin"
was rather afraid had set it on the
first rung of the ladder that leads to the
gallows. But there the foot was: what
the ladder turned out to be was in the
hands of the gods; so 1 threw off care.

scibed patients deserve the widest publicity possible
They summarize briefly the best advice modern
has to give
Though many of these rules already known and
generally accepted they cannot be repeated often
The first commandment is for patients to live in the
air a the hours Of all the days of all the years." The
other rules less simple They call for nutritious
diet of meat and bread milk and early diagnosis
a determined spirit and confident submission a good
doctor For his sake well for the safety of his
negbors the patient must take all precautions
to prevent his becoming danger to others.
Equally important for the welfare Of the general public

calling for the abolition of the filthy habit of promiscu
ousy splitting and for campaign of education against the
evils which tuberculosis originates and spreads The

BUILDING THE TOWN.
But 1t Is Herculean Task---Less Than
Is per cent. Of Debris Removed.


Eugene Shelby. superintendent
of Wells, Fargo & Co. on the North
Pacific Coast, spent last night and
the forenoon in town. After SER
vice of nearly 80 years in the COM
pany. he succeeded to his present
eminent position in the business
world at the death of the late Su-
perintendent Brastow. His head
quarters is in San Francisco, on the
site oil the burned district. the Office
being in a new corrugated iron
building on Second between Market
and Mission. Most of Market street
now from the ferry to Ninth street
is occupied solidly by business es-
adjustments, all. however, in tenn
porary buildings. So far only Is
per cent of the debris of the ruined
portiou of the city has been remov-
ed, though immense forces Of mer
have been at work at the task ever
since the fire burned itself out. The
work of rebuilding the big strnc
lures, however, has begun, and i,
looks now as if the beautiful city
would in time be restored.

roads in the country. That would
add to her comfort. It would in
crease her material resources b.
making her transportation more
economical.
No man says a bad road is more
desirable than a good one. Every
man says good road is far better
for a people, financially and every
other way than is bad one. Most
questions have two sides but this
is one on which everybody is
agreed. One verdict, one opinion
one common and universal judg-
ment. that is all.
And the only way to get a good
road is to get it. 1t cant be built
with wind. 1t takes cash and
work. But its always worth what
it costs, s,-and more. The time for
making special road levies is now.

ONE HUNDRED AN ACRE
And More---Realized from a Young
Orchard:- Big Willamette
Apples.

What apples will do in Benton
has been illustrated in a small way
this season-b by Frank Groves. Four
acres or less of new orchard had
the first real care this season in
spraying and like attention. In all
there are $50 trees, mainly North
ern Spy. Ben Davis, Kings and
Baldwins, though there are other
varieties. The choice apples are
selling in Corvallis at $1,5o p box
and are sought at that figure. The
culls go at SO cents. The yield will
bring the proceeds up to more than
$500, or above $1oo per acre,
proposition that is not easy to beat.
More remarkable even is the fact
that the trees are only six and eight
years old. His experience for the
season has enlisted Mr.. Groves
thoroughly in the apple business
and he will devote large attention
to his orchard insthe future. Other
trees that are coming on will large
ly increase his output in the future.
To spraying and other care, Mr..
Groves attributes his success. He
sprayed his orchard five times at
cash outlay of S25. including help
that was hired. Not more than
four or FIVE per cent. of his fruit
was affected with worms. The
apples are as fine as ever grew on a
tree Northern Spy apples grown
by Mr.. Groves are the subject of
laudation and encomium by every
body who samples or sees them.
The orchard is on rolling. we'll
