Lake, botanist ol the agricultural college at Corval lis and secretary of the State Hor ticultural society, went to Silver ton Saturday, where he assisted in the formation of a county society. The meeting at Silvertou was largely attended. Oregonian. We thoroughly believe in the great possibilities of the State Agricultural college at Corvallis. The work Prof. Lake is now doing is the kind we need in this part of the horticultural vineyard. The ex periments which the college is ma king ami the experience which these professors must necessarily have, are of infinitely more im portance to the community at large than the tedious hum drum of conjugation of Greefe and Latin rerbs. The ancient languages we would not underate, but in agri cultural colleges the analyses of the fruit pests, etc., and the reme dies tor preventinx or destroying them, are a thousand fold more important to the people generally in return for the state and nation al funds which agricultural col leges receives. West Side. Highly important for the wel fare of the people of the state, es-; pecially those residing outside of cities, is the matter of good roads in the state, and the movement in augurated by the county judges and commissioners of Multnomah and Yamhill counties inviting a convention of commissioners from all the counties to meet in Port land on the . second ot January next, to prepare recommendations to the .. legislature, is very com mendable, and,, there should be a large representation, that plan's may be agreed upon and given to the law makers as guides for their action. The most bitter religious perse cution ever heard ot in modern times is now going on in Russia. TJie Czar has passed very severe anti-Semitic laws and seems to be personally determined to break down the Jewish race in Russia. It has been stated by a prominent Jewish Rabbi that this is the greatest trial of Jews since Esther, as the number of victims is placed far above that of the cruel perse cutions under Ferdinand and Isa bella,' and other potentates of for mer ages.; ' An exchange says: It is esti mated that the newspapers of the country have spent - a great deal more money, in telegraph tolls since the Sioux Indian scare began than would have been required to have quartered every living mem ber of that tribe at a first-class hotel for the entire winter. It might have been added that if all the misstatements and exaggera tions: had been eliminated from these special dispatches, that J ay Gould's profits on the telegraph toll would not have been sufficient to buy him a lunch at a cheap res taarant. The Gazette wishes all of its recders a merry Christmas greet ing, and may none who have fol lowed the time honored custom of hanging up their stocking on Christmas eve to receive the gifts of old Santa Claus awake this Christmas morning to disappoint ment, but that Santa Claus will remember . one and all, both old and ; young and gladden their hearts by filling their stockings to overflowing. The Col u gibus tower will be 500 feet higher than any other tower in the world. It will be completed 'in 1 892, and will be 1500 feet high by 380 feet at the tase, constructed bf steel and iron and ' supported' by sixteen great atetied logs. - - - . PENSION PAYMENTS. There is a great deal of twaddle n the democratic newspapers ibout the "pension steal." ' Where loes the money come from that ays the pensioners? From the importers who bring foreign goods into our markets. What becomes f the money? It is paid to poor men who fought and bled to save the Union, and every cent of it s;oes into the regular channels of business in this country. Secre- ary Noble has truly pointed out hat all the business interest of the country are benefited by the mon ey paid for pensions. Thousands oi tne old soiaier3 are unaoie to work, and would be a charge on the community were it not for their pensions. Something should be done to curtail the operations of the thieving claim agents who infest Washington, and every dol lar appropriated for the veterans ought to go directly into their own hands. Statesman. Failure to secure a new charter at the present legislature will set Corvallis back two years more. j Democratic organs are now sneering at Secretary Noble be cause of his efforts to correct the abuses of pension attorneys. Are they with the attorneys and against the pensioner? Mercury. It is estimated that Indian wars lave cost the government, $700,- 000,000. The government has ex pended enough money on the red man and for his .benefit, to make every Indian in the land the pos sessor of a good sized fortune had it been divided directly among them. . The committee of the council having in charge the preparation of a new city charter should com- , plete the work promptly. It is of vital importance that the bill pass i the present legislature which ' meets soon and the bill should be ready for presentation early in the session, . . '-, j A Bismarck, N. D., merchant of fers $1000 for the hide of Sitting I Bull with a view to using it to ad- ' vertise his business. Should he succeed in his desire the novel ad j vertising scheme would no doubt eause a a "Bull Run" to his store : which would make the investment quite profitable to him. ' Senator. Mitchell's giving home steaders who have settled opposite unsurveyed lands the right to ex tend their holdings so as to give them 160 acres, which passed the senate last Monday is a good bill. There are several cases in this county where settlers on govern ment land will be relieved and benefited by this bill. It is now reported that Sitting Bull was murdered in cold blood, j It makes little difference to the; average American how the wily old chief met his fate. It is a source of gratification to the ma jority of our people that he has re ceived his just dues for the many cold blooded murders and depre dations that be is accountable for. An exchange says: ' " People in the Dakotas who. want to come to Oregon can't sell their land for one dollar per acre." At that price many of our farmers could buy a good sized farm in Dakota by say ing and marketing the straw that is burned on -the average Oregon farm in one season, to say nothing of the apples .and fruit that is either allowed to rot on the ground or fed to their hogs. It is now reported that the Mor mons have come into possession of 3,000, acres of land in . Mexico for the purpose of establishing a set tlement for the polygamists and that a colony of ten thousand Mormons,, under the leadership of Brigham Young's son will soon leave the United States for, the purpose of settling" on this land. Uncle Sam's loyal subjects would have no objections if the remain ing Mormons of this country would follow in the wake of: their leader. An eastern exchange says: "The mild winter has been postponed on account of the weather." Un doubtedly it has been in the east from the reports of storms and blizzards from every section.. The writer of the above should come to the Willamette valley where the roses bloom the year round. In 1872 the price of body-brus-sels carpet per yard was $2. It has been advertised for sale this season as low as 75 cent. This is because, under the policy of pro tection, the United States has be come the leading carpet manufac turing country in the world. What is the matter with the Corvallis Board of Trade that there is not a larger attendance at its meeting? There is a large amount of important work for that body to do. and every member who is interested in the welfare of Corvallis should attend the meet ings. Christmas is the oldest holiday now observed by all Christian na tions. The custom of returning thanks to God and of giving on this day originated from the de sire to commemorate the event of the Lord making to the world the 'great gift of his son Jesus Christ 1890 years ago. A Georgia editor in resigning a country postoffice writes: "The receipts for the last month have been j $6.40, the rent $4 and the clerk hire $10. Being a democrat we can no longer give our consent to hold office under a republican administration, hence I resign." Dubois. Shoup and McConnell secured the senatorial honors of Idaho. Dubois was elected to the long term while the two latter will have to draw straws at Washing ton for the short term. According to the new apportion ment bill which passed the house on December 18, twenty-four more representatives will be entitled to seats iu the house, than before the bill passed. The legislature ' of South Caro lina cannot be charged with any special trend towards republican ism, as there are about 100 ex Confederate soldiers in both Houses. . , ' Genuine sole leather trunks at Nolan's.

" At the agq of three months a rash (which afterwatds proved to be eczema or salt rheum) made its appearance on my face. Physician after physician was called. None of them did me any good at all, but made me worse. The disease continued unabated; it spread to my arms and legs, till 1 was laid up en tirely, and from continually sitting on the floor ou a pil low, my limbs contracted so that I lost all control of thera, and was utterly help lees. My mother would have to lift me ont and into led. I could eet around the house on my hands and feet, bnt I could nut eet my clothes on at all, and had to wear a sort of dressing gown. My hair had all matted down or fallen off, and my head, face, and ears were one scab. The disease contiuued j in this mauner until I was seventeen years I old, and one day in January, 1S79, I lead I an account in the Tnbune of your Cutigura Remedies. It described my case so exactly that I thought, as a last resort, to give them a trial. When 1 first applied them I - was all raw and bleeding, from scratching my self, but I went asleep almost immadiately, something I bad not done for years, the effoct was so soothing'. In about two weeks I could stand straight, but not walk, I was so weak; but my . sores were nearly well. As near as I can judge, the Cuticcra Rem edies cured me in about six to eight weeks, and np to this date (c. ., from January, 1879, to January, 1887) I have not been sick in any way, or have had the least signs of the disease reappearing on me. w.j.
