Last Saturday the Republican county cen tral committee met at the court house for the purpose of nominating a candidate for state senator in the place of Hon. John Bur nett, resigned, and was called to order by Hon. A. M. Witham, chairman, and W. P. Keady chosen secretary, all the precincts being represented but lour. On motion, Hon. Elias Woodward was declared the choice of the committee for state senator by acclamation. A more fortunate choice, for the party, could not have been made, nor for the coun ty, for Mr. Woodward will be elected by a handsome majority in June. Mr. Wood ward is too well known in Benton county to need any extended notice from our pen. He came to this county in 1865 and has ever since been a resident ; in June 18G6 he was elected superintendent of common schools in this county, and held that office continu ously until July, 1872, having positively re" fused to be a candidate for the office any longer ; he was the first teacher of Philo math college, teaching there one year under its first organization, and resigned the posi tion for one in this city in the fall of 1868 ; in 18C9 he and Mr. Emery Allen formed business partnership of Allen & Woodward, which has been continued in this city until the present. We cannot forbear again men tioning Mr. Woodward's connections with the public schools of this county ; he has ever held that an educated people were a prosperous people, and to that end has been an untiring worker in the interest of the public schools of this city as a director for for the last ten years, giving his time freely for the good of the rising generation, and to his efforts much of the success of our city schools is due. The irreproachable private character of Mr. W. is a fact of which the voters will by no means lose sight of at the coming election, and it makes us enthusiatic to have the privilege of supporting so wor thy a candidate for this important office. MEMORIAL SERVfCE Last Sabbath instead of the usual sermon and Sabbath school at the M. E. church in this city. The congregation met at 11 o'clock ad engaged in very interesting sea son of singing, prayer and remarks com memorative of the memory of the late Hon. W. B. Carter. The services were opened with singing, and reading of the 15th Psalm by Bev. W. T. Chapman, followed by prayer by Rev. H. Williams, of Buena Vista ; then reading of the 16th Psalm and a portion of the 7th chapter of Matthew, by Rev. Chap man, after which feeling and appropriate re marks were made by Revs. W. T. Chapman, J. W. York, H. Williams and L. Royal, and W. F. Dixon. Rev. Chapman then read the 22d chapter of Job and the benediction was pronounced by Bev. J. W. York. A large and interested congregation was in attendance, and although the services were prolonged beyond the usual length all seemed disposed to linger in silent sadness in the house where one so universally loved had so long attended divine services. FROM SOAP CREEK' Ed. Gazette : The Blue Ribbon Club met at regular meeting on the 24th of April with a crowded house. Hon. Jas. Yantis of Cor vallis favored us with one of the best lectures ever delivered to our club. Come again, Jimmie. We were also favored with a cou ple of little folks from Corvallis. Miss D. Scrafford recited a piece in good style, and Miss Lula Miller, only nine years old, sang one of the new temperance songs very nice ly. Good music wag also furnished by the string band and choir. We hope to be able to keep the great temperance ball moving right along and give some of the candidates the benefit of our club on the first Monday in June. We are sorry to note that our friend Mr. M. Williams has lost his devoted wife and sweet little babe, 11 months old, within twenty-four hours of each other ; both were laid to rest in one coffin. A constant chris tian woman, she has gone where the weary find a blessed rest. Miss Leon a Williams, of this place, and Mr. C. Baker, of Polk county, were united ill the holy bonds of matrimony on the 25th inst. Messrs. Miller and Williamson will erect a large warehouse at Wells' Station for the present harvest. We are in need of a good store and blacksmith shop there, a wa gon shop is already being built. Soap Creeker. Soap Creek, Benton co., April 26, 1880. Willis Vidito, of Alsea, was in the city Tuesday; from him we learn that the Spen cer Bros, are making great improvements on the Alsea road by the removal of trees, and other needed improvements. The Benton county sporting club did a lit tle glass ball shooting on Monday. Mr. Wm. Reeves, of Tidewater, gave us a inenoiy call last Monday morning. Hon. Richard Williams, of Portland, was in Corvallis this week on professional busi ness, and gave us a calL Hon. Robert Clow, Democratic candidate tor joint senator from Benton and Polk counties, favored us with a call on Wednes day. The railroad company have been fixing up the street crossings along their road through the city this week. A needed improve ment. J. M. Collins, of Lower Alsea, and J. H. Blair, of Elk City, were in the city last Sat urday, attending the Republican central committee. We are glad to learn that Mrs. H. Sim mons, who has been hopelessly ill, is rapidly convalescing uuder the careful treatment of Dr. isrmth. Some parties from Portland whose name we have not learned are preparing to open a new furniture store one door north of Wrenn & Holgate's. Hon. Ben. Simpson, U. S. postal agent, was in town the first of the week looking after Uncle Som's post offices. He called at our Sanctum. The Democratic county central committee on Wednesday last, 'placed the name of M. Shannon before the people for state senator, in place of Hon. John Burnett, resigned. Mrs. S. A. Hemphill and little "Mac" started on a visit to friends in the East, 'to be absent about six months. They will visit Colorado, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio. Arthur Polly is messenger of the W. U. Telegraph Co. in this city. Persons desir ing to send messages, and not wishing to go to the office, can leave them at the store of H. E. Harris, and they will be promptly forwarded. S. A. Hemphill, harness maker, cf this city, has just completed the covering of a hack and making a set of carriage harness for Mr. Tolbert Norton, of this county, which does credit to even so justly celebrat ed a house as Mr. H.'s. He also has on ban I a splendid assortment of hand made harness and saddles, for sale cheap. Among the visitors in our city, last Sun day, we met our friend Prof. C. E. Majors, of independence. We are glad to notice that the Republicans of Polk county, recog nizing the fitness of Prof. M. for that posi tion, have honored him with the nomination for school superintendent of that county. A better selection could not have been made. Mr. Jos. Speidel, agent for Frank Bros., has moved his agricultural implements from his former warehouse on Second street to the building recently occupied by R. G. Simmons as a feed stable, on Monroe, be tween Second and Third streets. This building affords ample room for the fine dis play of machinery constantly kept on hand by Mr. S. Jas. A. Cauthorn, the veteran warehouse man, has had the following circular printed and is sending them through the mail to his customers of last year. Mr. Cauthorn has an experience of eight years in his business, and evidently means business the coming harvest: Corvallis, May 1st, 1880. DfcAR Sir: I beg leave call your atten tion to the following reasons why it is bet ter to store your wheat on the river: 1st. By storing on the river you will have advantage of competition in freights which you cannot have any other way. 2nd. By storing on the river you have a chance to sell to the mills at Albany, Salem. Oregon City and Millwaukee, as well as to the exporters at Port'and. 3rd. It often occurs that the mills pay more for wheat than the exporters will offer. I will be prepared this season to bu3' wheat aj soon as it is threshed. Pointing with pride to the successes of the past in marketing your wheat, I respect fully ask your patronage for the coming season. Jas. A. Cauthorn. The cry is still they come ! Farmers will read with interest the following letter : Mammoth Warehouse. Corvllis, May 6, 1880. Dear Sir : Having made definite ar rangements for the construction of a new " Mammoth" warehouse at the Railroad De pot in Corvallis for storing grain, I take pleasure in calling the attention of the farm ing community to the following facts rela tive to the advantages in storing grain on the railroad : 1st. You can ship your grain at any time you desire, andean ship about two months earlier than you can on the river, thereby taking advantage of an early market. 2nd. It frequently occurs that the first market is the best, and would therefore state that ships arriving in the early part of the season cannot afford to pay demurrage, and be detained for the arrival of wheat stored upon the river ; but will have to de pend upon the railroads for their cargoes in order to get quick dispatch, and thereby frequently offering more for wheat than they would otherwise do, which is an ad vantage to the producer. 3rd. I will be prepared at all times to buy your wheat as soon as it is delivered at the warehouse in Corvallis, which no other warehouseman has ever done and can afford to pay the highest market price, as I shall be able to ship at any time, while ware housemen upon the river can not ship until navigation opens, which may be months af ter the delivery of yonr wheat, ana you would in consequence be liable to sustain a decline in the market, as well as the loss of interest on your money. 4th. It maters not whether there is com petition on the river, I bind myself at all times to pay the highest market price, and guarantee that no man who desires to sell his grain will leave the "Mammoth" ware house and "say that 'Red' Wells wouldn't buy his grain," for want of orders from either Millers or exporters. t anners, having had some experience in disposing of, and marketing your grain, I leave the matter with you whether I am still competent to market your grain to the best advantage, and would respectfully ask that wnen you get ready to nam your grain io market, you do not forget " Red " Wells' mrmmoth warehous, on the railroad. Yours truly, W. A. Wells. Insane. J. M. Patterson and his son, C. B. Prtterson, were both brought before Judge McFadden last Friday, charged with insanity. Drs. Farra and Cauthorn were called and the elder was adjudged insane and taken to the asylum at East Portland on Saturday, the yonnger being discharged. We are informed that Mr. J. M. Patterson had been confined in the asylum before, bnt qaving been released, he came in to the Ya quina, where his son resided, by the last trip of the Duncan, and th excitement of meeting with his son, and the voyage from Portland, had again unseated his reason. Excursion to Portland. The excursion to Portland to-morrow, under the direction of the Evangelical church of this city, will be a very pleasant affair. We are informed that a large number will also go from Inde pendence and other places along the road. The committee of arrangements have made all necessary arrangements for a m- st pleas ant time, and the object is certainly a com mendable one, and we hope every one that can possibly do so will participate. FIRST GUN FOR YAQAINA BAY. The promise to recommend $50,000 for the improvement of Yaquina bar, by the committee on commerce, is an evidence that the friends of this important measure have been heard, and in presenting the fact have made a favorable impression. On receipt of the above news the people of this usually quiet city were excited, and everybody felt good and realized that an important point had been gained. We feel confident onr members are in earnest and thoroughly un derstand the great need of this improve ment. We sincerely hope the amount will stand as recommended, for any less sum would be insufficient. The steamer A. A. McCully brought up the engine "Corvallis," together with about 75 tons of iron and the trucks for cars, hist Wednesday. This means business, and the pecple of Benton county can and do rejoice. BRICK. BRICK At the old, reliable yard. 50,000 brick we wish to dispose of immediately, in order to make room for Spring work. Mrs. L. A. Dennick. Corvallis, May 3d, 1880. w2 TREAD CAREFULLY The Blade of last week, referring to the nomination of Hon. M. C. George for con gress, said " he was nominated in the inter ests of Portland capital" Now the facts are the delegation from Multnomah voted for Ruins Mallory ; Mr. George did not re ceive a single vote from that county. We do hot consider the statement made by the Blade of any particular consequence or sig nificance, except this, if the influence of Portland is damaging in its effect, what is to become of Hon. John Whiteaker, for it is well known the Multnomah county Demo cratic delegation were instructd for him. In this connection it might not be improper to call attention to the position of the par ties, as indicated in their platforms. The Republicans resolve in favor of appropria tions for Yaquina Bay and other points along the coast, while the Democrats are silent on the subject. Every member of the legisla ture of 1876-78 will remember Mr. George as an earnest advocate and friend of any bill supported by the Willamette Valley members. Railroad Meeting aT Kings Valley. M. J. Conner, of Kings Valley, paid us a pleasant call on last Wednesday, and from him we learn that the citizens of Kings Val ley met at the church last Monday, to take steps toward meeting the proposition of the O. R. R Co., limited, in relation to extend ing their railroad from Dallas to Kings Val ley. Mr. McKenzie was present represent ing the company. Remarks were made by Mr. McKenzie on behalf of the company, and by Hon. Jas. Chambers on behalf of the citizens. Subscriptions were then so licited and about 3,000 raised toward the 310,000 required by the company. We are satisfied that the people of Kings Valley ap preciate the benefits to be derived from this road, and as the propositions of the compa ny are fair and by no means exorbitant, that they will be met by the citizens. A Correction. In our issue of week be fore last it was stated that Mr. Geo. Wag goner, one of our legislative nominees, " is a merchant of Monroe." This is a mistake. Mr. Waggoner lives seven miles nqrih-west of Monroe, in the Belknap settlement, is en gaged in farming and sheep-raising, and has been in Oregon since 1852. He is a man of experience in the way of the world, fearless, bold and uncompromising in his convictions of right ; he will be elected in June, and ably represent Benton county in the next legislation. Theatre. The Vernell's dramatic alli ance gave entertainments at Hamilton's Op era House, in this city, on Monday and Wednesday evenings of this week. These entertainmenas were well attended and gave good satisfation. They will return and give another entertainment next Tuesday evening, with an entire new programme. Positively last appearance here. Yaquina Road Repairs. Contributions in money, food, supplies and labor, are ear nestly solicited. Donations in food are to be delivered at Messrs. Ray & Son's, at Cor vallis, or J. E. Henkle & Co.

Recording Secretary's Ojfice, Salem, April 17, 1880. Mr. Editor : The eighth Annual Re-Un ion of the Oregon Pioneer Association, wiil be held this year at the city of Portland, June 15, 1880 ; it being the thirty-fourth anniversary of the signing of the treaty set tling the boundary between the two great powers, the United States and Great Brit ain. And, as that act relieved the Ameri can settlers of Oregon of the uncertainties that bad for so long a time been a source of great uneasiness in regard to their status, whether they would be compelled to live under an English flag, or have the pleasure of residing where the stars and stripes that they loved so well should be the emblem of their native republican government. But the signing of the treaty on June la, l4b, by the ministers of the two high contracting powers, settling forever that Oregon should be a portion of the United States, was bailed with joy by the citizens of Oregon, who had staked their all and braved every danger in traversiug the plains and crossing the rugged mountains or sailed through dist ant oceans, to introduce civilization and make homes on the shores of the great Pa cific, and lay the foundation of the sun down state of the Union. A few years ago it became manifest to a number of Pioneers, that it would be of great benefit to the people of Oregon, and especially to the historian, to organize an association with one of its objects as set forth in their constution, ' to collect from living witnesses, such facts relating to the Pioneers and history ot the 1 erritory ot Or egon as the Association may deem worthy of preservation, and to promote social inter course among its members," This laudable object is being carried ont in spirit as well as to the letter, and even now, at this early day of the Association's existence, a great amount of valuable history has been collated and placed in permanent form in the annual publications of the Association ; thus rescu ing from oblivion that which daily growing more difficult to garner, as the hardy, bold and enterprising men who took an active part in affairs when " Oregon was new," are rapidly passing away,, and many carry to their tombs recollections of incidents that may seem trivial within themselves, but make important factors towards a complete history. The Association has always bees ready and is now anxious to receive contribvtions from all who may desire to give sketches of adventure, biograpies of all deceased Pio neers, or auto-biograpfiies of the living both male and female. The founders of the Association having a just appreciation of the benignly influence of woman for the good of mau, thus greatly assisting in removing the asperities of fron tier life, they were cordially invited to" be come members oi the Association. The Re-Unions have been a source of great profit to all who have arrived in Oregon of late years, as well as of pleasure to those who are eligible to become members. To the former class, it affords an opportunity to see many or the old men and women who have become more or less noted as pioneers, and listen to their accounts of incidents, both grave and gay of days long gone by, as they are related around the camp fire, To listen to the addresses replete with valu able historical facts which cannot be obtain ed in any other way. To see the men who rocked the cradle of Oregon in its infancy of of Provisional Government, guided m sturdy youth as a Territory, and 'looked with pa rental pride when it was fuily developed and admitted as a State of the union. To members, it brings them face to face with those whom they most probably have not met tor years, and affords an opportunity to talk ovr old times; to refresh the memory of those departed, and ascertain the welfare of the living; it affords an opportunity for social gathering which is beneficial to all. Such being the case, it is sincerely hoped that all pioneers and their friends will make an extra effort to attend on Oregon's Day, the loth ot June next. That day was chosen for several reasons; but the greatest is for that mentioned above, the final settlement of the Oregon question: another, it is the most pleasant time of the year, when there is really more leisure than at any other time, it being between seed time and harvest. And certainly we can afford one day from the toil of life from the farm and workshop, from counting house and factory. We, as a people, do not have a sufficient number of holidays but too much toil. Arrangements have been made with the different transportation companies, that all who attend, to pay full fare in going, but return free, on the certhcate of the Secre tary. , J. Henry Brown, Recording Secretary. Interesting communications from " Liber al " and " Beacher " crowded out. MUNICIPAL ELECTION. Our city election, last Monday, passed off very quietly, and there were no political or even local issues made public.

Honor from Europe. It is conceded on all sides that Dr. Ayer's Pills are above comparison with other medicines. Uniting the best elements known to the chemist they are particularly effective against the numerous stomachic disorders for which they are recommended as a cure. These Pills are so mild, yet searching, that they are often prescribed by doctors who other wise do not favor patent medicines. Indeed, with the fruits of Dr. Aj'er's genius in the shape of Pills, Sarsaparilla, Ague Cure and Cherry Pectoral, one might with impunity travel through the swamps of tropical Amer ica, or follow Stanley on his travels through the interior of Africa.
