Prices for Beet Thinning.

The directors OF the Bent County
Beet Growers association met on
Wednesday evening and adopted a
resolution TO the effect that the uni
form price per acre for thinning beet,
lie placed at 81 and commission for
old ground and So and commission
for alfalfa ground. 1t is to be hoped
that all growers will adhere to these
prices rigidly and that there will be
no bidding for help against oneanoth-
cr, for the resulting conditions are
very detrimental to all concerned.

.JUSTsO.

The republican party is bigger
than any man in it. Many a time
it would have been better for tha
party if candidates on its ticket had
been beaten at the polls. Hermann,
congressman from Oregon, skulk'
ing around the corridors at Wash
ington, and slipping in to draw his
salary, is a case in point. And
there are others. How infinitely
better for the party, if republicans
had voted against Mr.. Hermann,
so that when indicted, it had not
been a republican congressman
from Oregon on whom the stigma
fell.
AS remarked above, the republic
an party is bigger than any man in
it, aud many republican does hi:
party real service by voting fol
an occasional democrat.

age, and has family. For year
he has resided in Jobs addition,
Corvallis, in a small cottage that

FELT THE EARTHQUAKE.
And Simpsons PheaSants Gave the
Alarm.

Gene Simpson has been in the
business of rearing China pheasants
for some years and he gives close
attention to their habits. When
anything unusual occurs about
their pens. especially at night, the
birds set up noisy chattering or
cackling. A midnight fire in the
city or in the vicinity always causes
them to set up a wild chorus. Just
at the time Of the San Francisco
earthquake Mr.. Simpson heard his
birds in one Of their excited moods
and he dressed and went out to dis.
cover the cause. So far as he
could determine. there was nothing
wrong and concluded that the birds
had given a false alarm. When,
howSver, the news of the earth
quake came. and of the slight tire,
mors in parts of this state, MI.
Simpson was able to account for the
excited state of his birds at 81
o'clock a. m, April 18th. Mr..
Simpson is 6rm in the belief that
the pheasants were cognizant of the
seismic disturbance.

WILLARD COMPANY IS STRONG.
A Well Balanced Company of Tai
ented People.

The Lee Willard Company is
now playing an engagement at the
Grand Opera house in Sakm, and
the verdict of the press issthat the
company is one of the best. The
Statesman OF the 9th instant has
the following to say of them
"Those who are missing these plays
are missing the best and most even
ly balanced show company that ev-
er came to Salem. Mr.. Willard is
not cnly good actor, he is a great
actor, and has the luck to be sup
ported by splendid talent in every
line" Mr.. Willard has played in
some of the best companies in this
country, and Miss Marie Dunn,
who supports him, is we'll known
throughout the United States, Eng.
land and Australia, having sup
ported Mr.. Wilson Barrett.
Now, good people of Corvallis,
turn out and see this company and
encourage good attractions, by good
attendance.

As TO YETOES.

At the second legislative session
in his term as governor, Chamber
lain vetoed IS bills, of which but
two were passed over the veto. Of
the others, all were either sustained
by the legislature, or else were
fled after adjournment and are
morally certain to be sustained by
the next legislature. The effect
will be, admission by the legisla-
ture itself that Chamberlain was
right 13 times, and the legislature
wrong IS times.
At the first session in his term,
Chamberlain vetoed ID bills. Like
those of the second session, many
of these bills carried large appro-
priations. Not single one Of them
was passed over Chamberlain's We
toes, but on the contrary, every one
of them was sustained by the leg
islature itself. Thus, a legislature
overwhelmingly republican, by
sustaining the "a vetoes, publicly
confessed that it had been wrong
"a times in passing them and tina!
Chamberlain had been right "a
times in vetoeing them. 1t is
doubtful if any governor of any
state at any time, ever received
from a hostile legislature, an en-.
dorsement so extraordinary.
In his one term, Chamberlain We
toed 29 bills. In two terms Pen
noyer, who until Chamberlain had
vetoed more bills than all Other
Oregon governors combined, vetoed
in all, 20 bills. Geer vetoed but
three bills. Lord vetoed no bills
Moody vetoed no bills.
A republican governor rarely
ever vetoes bill passed by a re-
publican legislature because to use
the veto freely would make enem
les for him among the powerful mer
in his own party anj ruin him poll.
tically. It is always best to have
the governor of one party and the
legislature of the other. Then one
is check upon the other, and that
saves money to the taxpayers. The
20 vetoes by Pennoyer and the &c
by Chamberlain, to the three in all
by Moody, Lord and Geer prove it.

BANNER PRECINCTS, BUT

Philomath precinct asked modest
1y for representation on the Benton
county republican ticket. So did
Bellfountain. Those requests under
every circumstance, it would seem,
ought to have been honored. Both
are banner republican precincts,
and each has been a bulwarks
of ,republicanism in this county
from time immemorial. In the
light of the majorities that both
these precincts have rolled up for
republican candidates, time after
time, it is inconceivable that both
should have been inglorious1y turn
ed down.
Both precincts presented two
candidates, and asked modestly for
the nomination of at least one. What
they got was soup, soup, soup. Mr..
Belknap, Mr.. Williams, Mr.. Jolly,
Mr.. Edwards, are all men of the
first class, all pillars in precincts tc
which Benton republicans owe more
in the way of majorities than to ali
the rest of the precincts in the coun'
ty combined, but their names, po
litically, are dennis" The little
job worked effectively, and it is nc!
surprising that some of the candi /
dates who got, on the ticket and
some of their friends who helped I'd
turn the trick, grin and wink one
eye significantly now whenever
Bellfountain and Philomath pre-.
cinets are mentioned.

little and let the flame go out of itself.
If you must blow it out, blew upward

o. If you must continue the repre-
hensible practice of using Kerosene
to kindle fire, do not use it directly
from the can. Pour the oil you are to
use into an open cup, away from the
stove, and use the cup to distribute
at. Even this is dangerous if any heat
remains from the last fire.

Nine Rules for Care of Lamps.

l. KerfSene should always be han
died by daylight. and away from all
flames and fires. Under no circllm-
stances whatever, should lamp be
filled while its wick is lighted.
?. After filling a lamp, both the
burner and the reservoir should al
ways be carefully wiped free from oil
films.
3. When a lamp is not burning. it
is well to keep the wick a little below
the top of the tube This helps to
prevent oil from working over upon
the burner and reservoir
4. Fill your lamps as often as they
are used. Especially do not light a
lamp when the oil is low in the reser-
vOir
D. Remembering that even eXplo-
Slve vapOr cannot do harm unless in
some way it actually comes in con-
tact with flame. never use burner
which fits loosely upon the rest of the
lamp. y loose joint may leak vapOr,
which is likely in turn to be drawn
up into the flame
u. Never Use wick which does
not fit the tube provided for it.
l. Never blow out a kerosene flame
