OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
ALBANY, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1S75.
FOR CONGRESS,
IIE.MI V W Alt REX,
OF YAMHILL.
. THE MAX FOK 7 1IK TIMES.
The Republican State Convention,
which assembled Salem on Wc4iies
day, was largely attended considering
the season of the year. The business
othe Convention was transacted most
harmoniously, the greatest unanimity of
feeling prevailing throughout. The
unanimous feeling of the delegates, as
expressed in words and from beaming,
happy countenances, was, the Republi
can party is now united, and with Hon.
Hesey Waeko as our standard, bear
er, is invincible. Our candidate is certain
to receive a large mojority of the votes
of the people of Oregon, as he possesses
every qualification to fit him in filling
the offlce of Congressman creditably to
himself; and the State, and being or the
people and from the people, is in accord
and sympathy with the masses, who
love and respect him for his faithfulness,
his ability, his truthfulness, his loyalty,
uprightness and honesty. Holding an
important office of public trust through
a series of years, lie established such a
reputation for business ability, careful
ness, accommodation and strict integrity
as recommended him to the esteem of
every man, no matter what his political
bias, and he retired from office without
a spot or blemish to tarnish his fair
name. With such a man, possessing in
his own proper person all the elements
of .. popular esteem, for our standard
bearer, can any one doubt the certainty
of his overwhelming election in October
next? Not one. On with the cam
paign, and let no true Republican put
off his armor until victory perches upon
our standard.
EX J IIVSI ASTIC.
The Republican State Convention at
Salem on Wednesday was the most en
thusiastic held in this State for years.
A ratification meeting took place im
mediately after the adjournment of the
Convention on AVed esday evening, at
which Gov. Gibbs, Judge Caples, Dr.
Watts, Co?. Knight, our next Con
gressman, Hon. Henry Warren, C'apt.
Humphrey, and others, made telling
speeches, pledging themselves to stand
,by the nominee and help roll tip such a
majority as ha3 never be.'ore been
achieved in this State. It was a glori
ous occasion, and the ball was put in
motion which shall eontinue rolling and
increasing in magnitude and strength
until the 25th of October, when it will
fall upon the Democratic party with
such . crushing weight as to entirely
crush and destroy it.
BEFl'SES TO Kmo,
Oa Tuesday the Independents met
in convention at Salem, continuing in
session until Wednesday morning, when
Mr. Geo. Ml Whitney, of Lane county,
was nominated as the Independent can
didate for Congress. On Wednesday
evening a telegram was received from
.Mr. Whitney, announcing that, as he
-was a Republican, unless he received
the nomination or endorsement of the
Republican State Convention, he would
not be a candidate. Therefore the fight
in this Congressional canvass will be
between Hon. Henry Warren, the Re
publican candidate, and Lafayette Lane,
the Democratic nominee. As the old
time Republican party is now united
and confident, with &t most worthy,
deserving and popular candidate, who
stands upon a most excellent platform,
victory is certain to perch upon her
banners in October next. Hurrah for
Warren.
"Democrats in Linn and all ' over the
State are declaring they will vote for
no Roman Catholic to represent them
in C ongress. While all agree that in
this fiee country no man should be os
tracised for his religious opinions that
lie has the right .-to worship as best to
him may seem proper yet, while grant
ing this, it is the doty of every man to
see that no one is etoVated to power
who holds his allegiance to church as
su perior to that of h is. countrywho
stands ready to stab his country in its
direst peril at the command of the head
of the church And this is cne reason
why even old-time Democrats will not
vote for. Lafayette Lane.
The pof itiou of the Republican party
on th& free school system is unequivocal
and can mislead no one. It is in favor
of increasing it efficiency, - aBcl - is op
posed to any division of the public
school moneys for sectarian purposes
The Democrats leave out all reference
to this vital question ia their platform
thus Rtkuowlcding that1. they tlareoot
aKe a posiliou on the question., .
PUTFORH.
In this issue we give the Republican
platform, as adopted by the State Con
ventio.i on Wednesday. We have only
space to say at this time that we believe
it will meet the complete and hearty
approval of every Republican in the
State, and will commend itself to even
our Democratic friends. It is an hon
est, outspoken, fair and square docu
ment, and as such commends itself to
all classes of our Stale.

A daily mail line furnishes the citi
zens of Polk and the other west-side
counties between Portland and Cor
vallis, mail mater. The mail for ' In
dependence, Huena Yieta, and othei
places near this city, in Polk county,
is brought up on the O. & C. Railway,
taken form here to Corvallis, and then
sent back to those points, the mail mat
ter from Portland being two days old
when it reaches its destination. The
people over in Polk sometime ago com
p'.amcd at this state ot affairs, repre
senting to Postal Agent Underwood
that by substituting Albany for Corval
lis and making Albany the terminus,
mail from Portland would reach them
the same day. The Postal Agent in
formed them that if they would "get up a
petition stating the facts, properly sign
ed, he would attend to having the change
made. We are informed that such pe
titions were circulated, numerously
signed, and forwarded to the Postal
Agent, but that the grievance still re
mains. The mail is continued to Cor
vallis, a detriment to Pulk county,
when the route might be shortened and
the people benefitledby a change to
this city.

The Coovallis Gazette of last week
quotes our article headed " Possibili
ties," and querrelously remarks:
A ijprson from reading the above would
naturally think that Albany was about all
of L.I1111 county. And for this reason
would be bad policy to build a raid direet
ly from Yaquina Kay into the. very heart
of Linn county, tor the "reuson that it
would not build up Albany to anv great
extent,", Tljat is certainly a very narrow
contracted and scliWh view of the matter.
U that your strongest lick for Albany.
Bro. Coll ?
No, my Utile bantam, by no manner
o means. To maks the road a paying
institution it must not stop at Corval
lis, No one, we opine, will contend
for a moment that Benton county alone
will afford sifffieient business to make a
railway to the Bay a profitable invest
ment. This being the case, the road
must not stop at Corvallis, but contin
ue on to Albany, the largest and most
important shipping point in the Cen
tral Valley. Now this projxsition is so
plain to even our frieud Carter, that
we need not allude to his attempted
sarcasm in relation to" Albany teing
all of Linn county. This being the
fact, can't friend Carter see that, it Ben
ton county fails to comply with the
terms offered in the building of a rail
way from Corvallis to Yaquina r5ay,
and Linn county is oflered a " show "
in tliat direction, it would bo much
cheaper and better, and would shorten
the distance at least six miles' to make
Albany the present termines, and build
an air-line from this city direct to Ya
quina via King's valley ? Benton'
county is aking assistance from Linn
county to raise the 100,000 asked for
to secure the railway under contempla
tion. Good. When the road is com
pleted, there will still bo & gap of
about ten miles, the d-'stanco between
Corvallis and Albany, that must bo
completed lefore the road will be a
paying investment, and Linn county
will be called upon for a large amount
to aid in its construction.' This addi
tional amount could and would be rais
ed by our citizens should the road be
built directly from or to this city. The
whole central vallej is interested in the
early construction ot the road, and the
cheapest and best route should be select
ed, and the road should terminate at
the most accessible point in the valley,
a point offering tho greatest induce
ments to shipjiers, and offering the
greatest convenience to producers.
Will friend Carter argue for a mo
ment that Corvallis is that place? As
suredly not. Ife is too well informed,
and thinks too much of his reputation
for truth and honesty to think ot it.
We have only to call attention to one
tact to set the question of terminus at
rest. Neatly one and a half millions
of btishe's of wheat were harvested in
Linn county last year, and ot that
amount between 800,000 and 1,000,000
bushels ' were stored in the capacious
warehouses of this city; and wo have on
hesitancy in stating that, in case the Ya
quina Railroad is built and we now
have little doubt ot the fact nearly
every bushel of surplus grain shipped
from Linn county would be stored in
this city.
But while we believe it would cost
our people less to bnild the road direct
to the Bay from this city, we honestly
confess that, after the struggle made by
some of the best and truest men in
Benton county in the interest of a road
to tide-water, from Corvallis after
they have spent so much of their time
and money in an attempt to secure the
benefits to arise from such an enterprise
we should deem it unfair and unjust
tor Linn county to step in ai d secure
the rich boon at this time, unless lien
on county utterly fails to stretch forth
, . - , . -i . ,
her hand and grasp the prize. It wou'd
be a death-stroke to Corvallis should
Benton county fail to make up the
$10(1,000 demanded to secure to her
the terminus. - Her citizens and all in
terested in her growth and prosperity
feel and know this, and o hardly be
lieve that they will fail , to eectue the
amount demanded. However, the road
must be built, and if Benton should, un
fortunately, fail to raise the required
I amouut, Albany, backed by Liuu conn
J ty, will put up the coin, and that in
I short order,
With the completion of the Yaquina
Bay Railroad, we secure cheap trans
portationnot for a day, a week or a
month; but the capitalists who propose
building the road guarantee to carry
1 . . . ..-.: o t; :.
ire,Sn ana passengers 10 can
1 at abut one-third the preseut cost, aua
I to contiuW this low rate for twenty
years. And .they further . promise
that, if the volume of busiuers offered
I .1 . . . . ...
tue roa upon its completion WW war,
rant them in doing so, they wiU reduce
the prW of ; freight and passage to a
ower rate, a line ot Bteamers
will bo placed upon tho route, aud . as
8 diftIK Yaquina Bay to San
Francisco is but fifty miles mora than
"I0B of the
Columbia to fean Francisco, tho ocean
I part ot tho voyagewill bo but half as
long. In tact it is believed that-the
I trip from this city to San Franciseo will
require' but thirty-six hours a saving
of nearly three days over the present
route. The cabin fare from Portland
to San Franciscc per steamer ranges
from $30 to 45; by this new route the
fare will be but $10, so that there will
be a large raving of money as well as
time by the completion of tho Yaquina
Bay road. But another and more im
portant tact to the citizens of the cen
tral valley is, the great reduction in the
charges for the transportation of freight.
Producers will better understand the
pioposition, probably, when we state
that were the Yaquina Bay Railway
in successful operation to-day, carry ng
freight at the 1 ate guaranteed by the
railway coaipany, wheat would com
mand more than one dollar a bushel in
this market.
Fish Lake, Aug. 5th, 1875.
En. Registei:: -Our -party of six,
consisting of Mr. and Mrc Stratton,
Mrs. Boughtou, Miss Lucy Claypool,
Miss Lizzie Geary; and yours, humbly,
arrived here and struck camp on the
2d iust., without a sing 'e accident on
the way. We found on the road Dr.
Alexander and family, who are camped
at Upper Soda, and Parly Mclvnight
and family are camped at Vine Maple.
At Upper Soda we find Mr. Cha?. Cow
an and A. Cowan's family. Arriving
at tho Mountain House on Saturday
evening we made camp, to remain over
Sunday. Fiihing not being in order
( Mr. S. doesn't allow fishing 011 Sun
day, and we agree with him, though
we would have gone had lie gone ) the
next best thing was to get up a huge
dinner, and that thing we did 111 good
sty'e, assisted by Mr. McGill, proprietor
of tho house, who, by the way, is one
of the most gentlemanly and accommo
dating ranchman on the route. Here we
consumed the last roast of Mr. Stratum's
" threc-mi!e-hi!l buck," besides more or
less substantial " grub " we had along.
The table did not groan " long, as
our appetites were then iust keen
enough to consume beyond the csii-
mates o"f the cooks.
Bidding our generous landlord good
bye, we toJk up our lines of march fr
the foot of tho seven-mile-hi'l. We
were a little reluctant and faltering at
the gloomy prospect of creeping over it,
but the ladies came on with a bold step
and a fixed determination in their fair
faces to walk that hi 1 up" 01 die
in the attempt, aud they did walk up
the hill, to the very top, inside of four
hours, and when the top was reached
MrsS. and Mrs. 1J. (being in advance
of the wagon ) had about made up their
minds to walk on to camp, it being on
y nine miles ahead. Your humble
servant got up the hill, almost dead
got into the wapron, and rolo in it.
fler turning out team, cutting tent
poles in the brush, in the dark," going
after water, getting wood, un'oadir.g
the wagon, &c, ad infinitum , we start
ed in to eating supper, which eating
commanded more time than all this
multitude of work together. The morn
ing coming out bright, warm aud clear,
we ( Mr. S. aud I ) started ( after a
hearty breakfast, of course), overto the
lake to pr jspect for rafts, fcc. At the
landing wo found Messrs. Brunk and
May's elegant little rait, the ScorcJur,
another larger raft ( public), christened
tho Morn ing Dewt and last but not
least that bold and defiant old veteran
raft, the Navigator. The JVavigator
is on the dry dock in the lako for re
pairs, and is to be run in the interest
of a company of Forks of Sautiamers,
wc understand. Mr. S. and the under
signed took one ride a-fishing on tho
jtfavigator that day, and it's only a
chance we are not now prospecti-ig the
bottom of Clear Lako for rainbows.
The Aravigutor disjointed herself we
did get ashore. ! ;
Preparations having beeu made, we
(the whole of the party and threo oth-
ers) mado our way to Clear Lakeland
having tied the Morning JJcuj to the
stern of Schorcher, and after duo cere
monies of no ! no ! ves ! come on ! fcc.,
the crew, Frauk May, Mr. S. and my
self assisted the passengers ( the ladies )
aboard the Morning Dew, when suf
ficient muscle was applied by the crew
n tvmr.-l the Scorcher to cause the
wheels ( imaginary) to revolve slowly,
and then stood, as it were, between
heaven and earth; then the cxclama
tious of delight and fear combined caus
ed our wheel to stop, and the crew to
take a laugh. Pilot May, having drop
ped" anchor near the middle of the lake,
all hands commeuced fishing. Miss
Lizzie Geary caught the first trout a
threcpoijnder broke Mrs, Strattou's
line, and, when this Uttie confusion was
over, fishing began in earnest, Frauk
May taking .he lead. Bill ly Brunk is
said to be the champion fisher ot the
lake, but we hav never witnessed a
trial of his tpeed-
Ileury Burraeister and Henry nam
ilton have just got in with a fat. elk
weighing 800 pounds. Iy the way
Henry is running his house in good
style this year, having a wife who
makes a vast improvement in the culin
ary department over that of the " old
Kentucky carve style," peculiar to men
only.
Mr. S. is o at on scent of a bear or
something el.-e in the game line,
and as he ate a light breakfast we sus
pect he will have a good appetite for
elk and ti&h for supper. We go a fish
ing to-morrow.

A New York special from London,
dated August Oth, says the weather
the past week has been fine and more
encouraging to operators for lower
prices, and harvesting will begin next
week; but with all this, crops continue
unfavorable and favor holders of stocks
of wheat. Prices of all grades are well
sustained, aud quotations are steady on
the basis ot 51 shillings per-quarter for
No. 2 Milwaukee on.the spot.
The Marh Jane Juepress, in its
weekly report of the Eurorean grain mar
ket says the weather, though broken, has
been on the whole tolerably fine.
Crops are progressing Javorablyj but it is
unreasonable to expect either the qual
ity or abiindanco of last year, after a
nearly sunless July, and such a heavy
rainfall as tho season thus far has
brought in France, so that flour has ris
en 4 francs per sack in Paris. The
Express adds: " 'flic bulk of our own
harvest is yet uncut. Some of our
country markets have hesitated about
submitting to any decline, though it has
generally declined 1 2 shillings per
quarter. Large speculative prices have
been made in London on American ac
count. The London market closed
with an improved aspect and an up
ward tendecy, which must be swayed en
tirely by the weather. Certainly there
seems quite as much char.ee fbr a raise
as for a fa'l.
