NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT.

NEW YORK, January 13.-Prof H.
c. Parker of Columbia University,
working with w. G.. Clark, has in,
vented an incandescent light which he
hopes will revolutionize electric light
ing. He says that it has forty-five
times the efficiency of the ordinary
lamp with carbon 1lament. The par.
ticular feature about the lamp is the
new filament, which Prof. Parker calls
helion because it's spectrum is similar
to that of helium. It looks much like
the filament Of an ordinary light.
Another claim for the new lamp Is
that the light will last nearly twice as
long as with carbon fIament. In-the
tests made the lamps have burned
steadily from 485 to 1870 hours, with an
average of 1000 hours AT current
density that will give only a dull red
color to the carbon hlament the new
lamp burns with bright white light
which increases in intensity as the cur
rent is increased. When the ordinary
current is running the Illuminating In
tensity is four times that of carbon
lamp, while there is much lower con,
sumption of electricity per candle
power. The lamp mas the further adj
vantage that it will carry a large over
load of electricity without breaking.

Deserving of Credit.

Out in Jobs addition there is a
plat of ground that years ago was
dedicated to Corvallis with the
underst inning that the city
would improve, besutify and
make park there. The donors
were the Jobs, but the little
patch of ground has been neglect
ed and rncared for, and save for
dog fennel and weeds has pro-
duced nothing.
Now comes the Village I'm,
provement society with an offer
to do something with this uu-
slightly, neglected spot. Not
only is it an offer to do some
thing, but a resolution and deter
minatisn, backed by energy and
sufficient capital to insure the
success of the undertaking.
Trees have been donated by
the various churches and frater-
nal organizations of the city and
these trees have been put out in
the little park. The ground has
been properly titled and made
ready. Prof. Coote has investi-
gated the premises and given
his advice as to drainage and the
adaptibility of the soil to certain
| kinds of trees and shrubs
pipes are to be laid so that water
will be at hand throughout the
long dry summer to water the
young trees, and there will be
funds to carry on the work unit
the place has been transformed
from weed patch to a cleanly
beautiful and comfortable park,
where residents o: that part O.
town may enjoy the pleasure o
shade trees and restful rustic
seas, where PEDESTRIANS who
visit the Catholic cemetery O.
other suburban points may dror
down for a r. st on the way, ano
where anyone and everyone who
desires may find an hours res
and comfort such as any pleas
ant, out-of- door retreat affords
The Village I'm orovement so
ciety deserves the praise and as
sistance OF every citizen of Cor
wallis in this worthy and la Dor
ious undertaking.

THEIR SILVER ANNIVERSARY.
Married Twenty-Five Years Ago
@.1s Ia Benton.

Twenty-Five years ago the goth
Of April at country home three
miles from Monroe, Miss Jose
phine Ingram, pretty California
girl, and Theodore Wellsher, a
sturdy, r honest son of Benton
county, were welded. Through
subsequent years they have walk
ed side by sid the rough high
way Of life, meeting with fair
measure of pleasure and prosper
ity along with the usual sorrows
and dissappoin,ments, and have
won for themselve, the esteem
and good will OF large circle of
friends and neighbors. Two
daughters, Mrs. E. c. Cummings
of Portland and Miss Vivian
Wellsher, bless their union.
Tuesday evening witnessed at
their home in this city the cele-
bration of their silver anniver-
sary, a party of friends gathering
there to extend congratulations
and good wishes.
The hours were spent very
happily in conversation aud in
the enjoyment of delicious re-
freshments. A mock ceremony
was performed by Rev. G. H.
Feese, who held song book up
side down and consulted it SER
iously, apparently taking his
words from it. Among the VOWS
imposed upon the bride and
groom was one that they woul 4
care for each other, Through
per,ods OF toothache" and ever
"love, cling to and adore" each
other, al. of which was readily
promised.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Wellsher were
presented with very elegant
silver fruit basket, ard a silver
butter knife. Those invited
were: R'v. and Mrs. G. H.

MUCH DISCUSSION NOW.
Of Eugene-c0rvaIlts Canal Pro-

A vast deal of interest has beer
aroused in the proposed canal

CATION, is one of the plans pro-
posed. e.
An outlet of. the kind would
be consequential asset for the
future Eugene. The Willamette
valley is easily capable of sup
porting a population of a million
and a half. There is scarcely a
product known to the temperate
zone that the region will not only
produce, but produce in great
abundance and luxuriance. In
the new crops experts are evolv-
ing it is being shown that in the
immediate future in the William
cite valley there will be succu-
lent foods for livestock every
month in the year, a condition
known nowhere else, and an
asset that will mean millions
added to the exports of the re-
gion.
Competent and conservative
authority, after years of study of
conditions, believes that an ex
porta able wealth OF $2oo, 900, 900 a
year is possible for this extra-or-
dinarily favored section. The
widely varying character of the
growable products gives the reg
ion a resource far beyond that of
which the present population has
conception. 1t means future
population that will make Eu-
gene and other valley towns,
cities of Importance, wealth and
population. A new artery OF
commerce, such as a water route
with its cheapest of all trauspor-
tation, would have an incomput-
able value for Eugene when the
Willamette valley shall come into
its own.

Can They Save it?

A dispatch from Seattle says:
Seattle Methodist churches
have outlined big campaign to
reform this city. They are pre-
pairing to import evangelists from
Chicago and will start a crusade
next fall, providing in the inter-
i'm for the erection of several tab
ernacles located in different parts
of the town, which will be capa-
BILE of seating from 1000 to 5000
persons.
the campaign for the redemp-
ton of Seattle will not begin un-
til the close OF the summer outing
season, tor the local Meth odisr
campaigners are convined that
the summer outing crowd ought
to have the benefit from the SER
vices as we'll as those who stay at
home and swelter in the heat of
the city. Services, when they
begin, will continue as long as
results can be had. This will be
the most pretent!ous campaign
ever attempted by the Seattle
churches.

DrummerS Praise 1t.

Drummers who frequent Cor
Wallis have nothing but praise for
the city's hustle and progressive
ness. A drummer in town this
week said, why, Corvallis is
the hest town in the valley today
from the point of business activ-
ity. Only lock at the buildings
that are going up-you don't
see anything like it in other
towns. See the buildings on
Main street, and out IN the resi-
dence part of town it is the same,
for new houses are being built
everywhere' -
And it is true. Corvallis is
enjoying steady growth that is
little short of marvellous With
her handsome new postofice

the work starting on the Small
brick, with preparations being
made for the Kline store i'm

The hotel question will be-
solved to au extent with tn

The Boy Who Was Burned-A
h Terrible Experience.

DR.. B. A. Cathey returned
Tuesday evening from Big Elk,
where he was called the previous
afternoon to attend 14-year old
Ed Mowrer, the lad who was
burned in the fire that consumed
the house of his uncle, J. R.
Mowrer. about midnight. Sun
day. The boy is seriously burn
ed about the face, his eyes were
terribly swollen and he was del
erious part of the time during
DR.. Cathey's, stay at the bedside.
It is the effects of inhaling such
intense heat that is most danger
GUS, however. and pneumonia
may result from it, but the doc
tor thinks the youth will recover,
although he will be SCARED for
life. The boy was asleep up
stairs when the house was dis
covered in flames, and when call
ed by his uncle he failed to re-
ply. He states that he heard
the call, but can't remember
whether he answered or not.
Mr.. Mowrer then made his way
through heat and smoke upstairs
and dashed into room, where he
found the boy crouched by the
bedside and too much overcome
by the heat to assist himself.
The uncle then started from the
room with the boy but at first
missed the door and for a NOM
ent thought that certain death
awaited both. A second at
tempt proved successful, how
ever, the door was located and
they escaped to the outside air
and safety, although both are
badly burned.
The boy remembers nothing
from the time his uncle called
until he found himself in the
night air, safe, with the rest Of
the family about him.
It was a narrow escape for all,
and the terrors of that night will
not soon be forgotten by Mr..
Mowrer and family, who have
the sympathy of the community
in the loss of their home and al
so in the misfortune of their in
juries.

intorstate Track Meet.

What gives promise of being
one of the best track meets ever
held In Corvallis is scheduled to
occur in this city May 18th. It
is the FIRST interstate track NEE.
ever held in Corvallis between
the Washington State College
and the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege and from the showing made
by OAc at the Columbia meet 1t
looks as though the men of the
orange might win out over th
W. S. c. in the coming event.
That the locals stand a good
chance Tor the honors is the
opinion of those in position to
know.
Manager Mcca'lister says this
will be one of the best meets
ever held at Corvallis and every
one should get together and
boost this meet as it will cost a
large sum to bring them here,
and besides the team need. the
combined support from every
student and citizen of Corvallis.
Help the boys to win this meet
and that will help them win from
U. of o. on May 25.
1t is hoped that they will have
the combined support of the bus
iness men on the afternoon of
May 1;3, and that they will be as
lenient as possible toward their
clerks, in fact nothing would
suit OAC better than to see
every business man of Corvallis
at the meet.
