1t Has Aspirations.

The Minneapolis & St. Louis road
aspires to be transcontinental line.
The fact is definitely known that when
the extension was ordered to the Missouri
river it was the intention of the hackers
of the road to go to the coast. Edwin
Hawle. president of the Iowa Central
and the St Louis roads is becoming
strong factor in transcontinental railroad
I politics. He has been made director
OF a leading transcontinental system,
and is familiar with the railroad situa.
ton and the need for more transportation
lines as the western country expands.
He is back of the Corvallis & Eastern
road, which has 142 miles under opera
alton from Yaquina on the coast 142
miles westward to Idanah, OEe., parallel
ing the Astoria & Columbia River road
owned by the Northern Pacific and
Columbia river 119 miles to Portland.
When the two lines meet the St. Louis
will be:a transcontlnental in fact.
The st. Louis road is just completing
an extension from Watertown across FIVE
counties in South Dakota to LIE Beau ON
the Missouri river. It taps q remark.
ably rich territory.
The attitude of investors toward rail-
road securities, as result of anti-railroad
agitation, will delay the further exten.
sion of the road westward, according to
railway officials. 1t is impossible to
build roads when money is tight, and
that is the present situation.
1t is prophesied that when the st.
Louis road has reached the coast it will
jump suddenly into prominence as a
leading factor in transportation circles.
Now, it does not figure in Wall street to
any great extent. With the South Da.
kota extension completed it will move
up peg as it reaches one of the richest
farming and grazing countries in the
world, and with each successive advance
westward it is said THAT the revenues of
the line will increase and that the system
will soon be on surplus basis.
E. N. Hawley is an unusual factor in
rail way circles as he is not a railway job
ber, but is known as a man who owns
the roads which he directs, and there
fore is out of the reach of stock jobbers
and the usual contingencies which tend
to bankrupt system.-Journal.

The Concrete Works.

Three years ago Mr.. Whitney
bought a barrel or two of lime,
had few loads of gravel hauled
and as best he could with his
limited means made few con-
crete blocks and set them up on
the sidewalks to dry. He found
it mighty dry picking to sell
them when he FIRST commenced,
for people thought they would
not stand the rain. He succeed
ed, however, in placing a few of
them on trial during the first
year. They proved so satistac-
tory that in the second year he
was quite successful and now
during the third year, since April
1st, he has shipped three carloads
of cement and branched out in
nearly every direction, making
concrete blocks, water tanks,
blue blocks, cement curbs, drain
tile. etc. He has sold 5000
blocks alone since April 1st and
has orders ahead for $50 more,
which will take him until Nov.
Ist to finish. He has used i'm
mense quantities of gravel and
sand and now has an order ont
for I so loads. -. - -
The blocks are sold all over
the country and it is quite con-
venient to drop in and get any
number you like. tits very
handy to the farmer who is con-
templating some little building
about the place to drop down his
corner blocks and GO ahead with
the building.
When you 60 by take look
at the pile of manufactured stuff
on hand and see what rapid
strides the people Of Corvallis are
making In every direction. Our
merchants, now as never before,
are making a determined effort
not only to draw the trade that
properly belongs to them but to
prove to our people that they can
come to Corvallis and get every
thing they want by adding new
industries of various kinds as fast
as the nature of the case will
justify. To the people of the
country we would say give our
merchants encouragement by
giving them an even chance at
the dollar you have to spend and
thus working hand in hand we
will show you a clean little city
of which we can all be proud.
Don't fail to give our merchants
an opportunity to figure On every
bill of goods before you send

Why Keep MonereIs?

If the production of eggs is the most
valuable branch of poultry culture,
how. asks the Feather, can any one
who may be engaged even to a greater
or less extent in their production be
so shortsighted, SO foolish, so careless.
or 50 neglectful of their own interests,
as to brush aside the only valuable
feature of success, and to hold on to
the mongrel product, which scarcely
ever pays for its keep?

How to Make the Mott Easy.

Having fowls come through the molt
in good condition is wholly matter Of
good food and care, backing up (or sup
porting) the naturally good constitu-
tonal strength and vigor. In other
words, it is having the birds in first
class condition when they go into the
molt and then helping them by good
food and good care.

How To Measure Hay.

The following is now a law of
Montana:
That from and after the passage of
this law, the following shall constitute
the legal measurement for hay in
stack in the state of Montana:
Four hundred and twenty-five cubic
feet shall constitute a ton of clean,
native, blue joint hay, after 90 days
and up to six months settlement in
stack, but when the same shall have
been over six months in the stack, $40
cubic feet shall be considered ton.
AS to other kinds of hay, after the
same shall have settled in stack from
90 days mp to one years time, 422 cubic
feet shall constitute ton.
AS to the hay which has been in
stack one year, without regard to the
kind thereof, the number of cubic feet
to the ton shall be mutually agreed
upon by the parties. And in making
measurements of hay in stack the fol
lowing is hereby made the legal
methods of measurement, to-wit: The
width and length of the stack shall be
measured, and the distance from the
ground against one side of the stack
to the ground against the other side of
the stack directly over and opposite
shall be taken in linear feet and inches.
and then the width shall be substracted
from the measurement over the stack
as above indicated, the result divided
by two and the result so obtained
multiplied by the width aud the result
thus obtained multiplied by the length,
which will give the number of cubic
feet contained in the stack, and the
tonnage shall thereupon be deter
mined by dividing the total number of
cubic feet allowed under the provisions
of this act for ton.

GENERAL GALEN
GETS BUSY
Says Games For the Drinks are
not Barred byLaw-Expects
Enforcement of Anti
Gambling Law.

Helena, April 1.-Attoruey Genera
Galen today said he proposed to see
that there was a vigorous enforce
ment of the Griffin anti-ga IN bling la W.
He added that while he had not issu, d
any special instructions to civil Off
GERS, whose duty it is to enforce the
law, he wished it understood by all
that it must be rigidly adhered to. He
calls attention to the fact that the new
law provides for conhscation Of all
gambling paraphernalia, including
slot III tchines, its delivary to com
mitting magistrate and its public de-
struction under the nuisance abate-
ment provision, and the further fact
that it it is the duty of officials to ar
rest all persons having such property
in their possession.
Mr. Galen said that social games
could not be stopped, for the reason
that there is no law against treating;
that means that should several per
sons play game of solo, whist, or
euchre, and during it's progress one
should be defeated. he would naturally
be expected by his associates to
treat" to the cigars or drinks, but
could not be compelled to do so. For
such game there is no prohibition
even though it be tacitly understood
that the loser was to pay. But if
chips or ciga were used as stakes"
there would be representative of value,
and therefore the PLAYING of such a
game would be violation.
AS to bridge whist, if played for a
consideration, the attorney general
said it would be a clear violation of
the law, even though not specifically
mentioned He said it would be more
difficult, perhaps, to convict a person
on this because Of the fact that chips
were not used, but thought that the ac-
count showing the score would be re
garded by jury as convincing evil
