THE SILETZ KESEKTATIOJf, '
We have often urged that the Siletz
Indians be removed to some more re
mote section of the State, and the res
ervation opened to settlement by whites.
If this cannot be done, we hold it but
just and in accordance with sound logic
that the Agent placed, in charge 4JYer
. the Indians should be one familiar, .with
the wants, habits, language, and char
acteristics bfahesejivards. The policy
o placing men totally unacquainted
with Indian character in charge of res-'
ervations is certainly bad policy, and
can never result in advantage either to
whites or the savages. This fact has.
been clearl v demonstrated inlhe Modoc
fww, tne chiefs', refusing to even talk
with strangers. There are in Benton
county any number of men fully fitted
for the position, and it is but justice lo
the pepple of Yaquina Bay that such a
f erson be selected to take charge of the"
ndians in that vicinity. ' -' - -!' 1
THE OPPOSITION. ?
"We are pleased to notice that onr
farmers, as well as those all along the
river, are giving their whole patronage
to theewmjof steamers. When they
' look back at the extortionate "Tatea of
freight and fares bo long wrung from
them by Holladay's boats and railroad,
they can but realize their bounden duty
to encourage the new company, which
- has so cheerfully come to their relief.
Should the people, by failing to pat
ronize the opposition, force it from the
river, they will be taxed two fold more
than ever. Let each farmer and mer
chant ship by the Willamette .River
Transportation Company, - and keep
. prices of river traffic . at a fair, living
rate. One corporation should not con-
.trol both the railroad and river. ..; .
: The . Commissioner-General of the
Land Office has sent instructions to the
Registers and Receivers to carry into
effect the act approved March 31, 1873,
providing for the joint entry of agricul
tural land to two or more pre-emption
settlers prior to a survey of the. same.
A legal Bub-dwisioa may elect one of
'their number to make an entry and con
tract for a private conveyance back to
the company pre-empting, when the
patents are received.
i .; Credit Mobixiee. That this stu
pendous swindle was sanctioned by the
Radical party it is but necessary to
ehow the vote on the resolution pf ex
pulsion: Out of the 121 Republicans voting a
majority of 27 was cast in favor of sub
stantial acquittal : and outof 102 Dem
ocrats, a majority o 20 was given in fa
vor," of : expulsion. Thus the Credit
Mobilier iniquity was fully assumed by
the Republicans. "

'Returns from the Connecticut elec
tion indicate that Ingersdli (Democrat)
is elected by about .4,000 majority, and
that the Legislature will probably he
Democratic. - Last November Grant car
ried the. State by over 4,000 majority.
Another evidence of the mighty revolu
tion taking place. :, The Credit Mobilier
and salary steal party is rapidly , losing
"" Democbatic Gains. In the town
elections recently held in New York,
the Democrats have gained ninety-four
towns and the Republicans have gained
ten, leaving a net Democratic gain, of
eigtyfour towns,- Fifteen counties out
or thirty-seven have been won over
from the Republicans, and how, have

FARMERS' MEETENU.
The CorvalliB Farmers' Club met at
the Court Hoase, last Saturday, to dis
cuss the following resolutions t
Resolved, That the farmers of Benton
county club together. and build ware
houses at convenient points along the
Willamette river, for ' the "purpose of
storing their surplus products. .
Resolved, That it is best for the far
mers of Oregon to attend to their own
high calling, and prosecute it with en
ergy and skill, and. leaveijtbe -business
of stripping to foreign ports to men who J
make commerce the business ot their
lives. ' v-i -..'
Judge C. E. Moore opened the dis
cussion, and as we have reproduced his
address, on our first. page, we will not
make any report of" it here. .
... N. P. Newton favored the first resolution-,
and argued-id fav6f :f -farmers
cleaning and grading their grain, men
tioning the many advantages arising
therefrom. Farmers, he thought, would
save the price of a warehouse in one
year. They should clean, sack, store
and control, their own grain, paying no
commissions to any one. -
A. G. Mulkey was in favor of farm
ers controlling their own wheat; thus
occupying an independent position,
instead of being the slave of the specu
lator and shipper. v He was in favor of
the farmer shipping his own grain, if it
became necessary, , and strongly con
demned the, system of "borrowing"
wheat. TIe said" wheat -was stored at
Albany, last year, when no ' price was
set upon it, and the wheat., was sent to
England, without ever being purchased
of the owner, or ono dollar advanced
upon it. He showed up the difficulties
arising from Mr. Moore's plan of build
ing granaries through town, and . pro
nounced the plan impracticable. Was
in favor of building one large warehouse
on the river bank,' and forming a corpo
ration. - . ... ' !
E. Hartless dissented from the posi
tion assumed by Judge Moore, showing,
from the Judge's own figures, that the
shipper, who, .the former gentleman
claimed, made but seven cents per
bushel, would lose three cents per bushel
after paying ComBtock and Hewett
Wilson & Co.'s commission, and at 80
cents the highest price paid here this
season he would lose 18 cents. He did
not think shippers did that kind of bus-
ness T "He favored farmers shipping for
themselves. Last year was an "excep
tion ; a " tremendous combination had
put wheat do wnr chartered all the ship
ping available, and robbed the farmer
of his grain, paying enormous carrying
freights. Fifteen dollars per ton was
an ordinary freight from Portland to
Liverpool. At these figures, farmers
could realize handsome prices for their
grain.. ; He favored the organization of
clubs, and the building of warehouses,
urging farineis to clean, sack and grade
their wheat into classes. He showed,
by quoting Liverpool prices, that our
farmers lost from seven to nine pence
terling per cental by mixing their grain
here in bulk. Among other advantages
of cleaning wheat, the farmer would
save the screenings for provender for
his stock, or could chop them and sell
them for as much, as wheat was ..worth
here. Every other "- business ' in the
world had its protective, combinations,
and there was no reason why farming
should not also have eafguards thrown
around it. Fortunes were made by
middlemen. f very year,., every, dollar of
which "was ! taken from the ' pockets of
the producer. Wheat should bring the
farmer in this county from 85 cents' to
$1 per bushel. He favored the ware
house proposition, but this was only half
the duty of farmers. They should be
prepared to: rship; , if necessary. " He
wanted to see organizations for protec
tion not only in wheat, but in etock.
wool, and every other branch of indus-
try- . ' .r v - .
Uoth resolutions were then adopted,
Mr. Elliot requested that the dele
gates to the Salem Convention be in
structed to acquire all possible informa
tion, from the Commissioner, relative to
Farmers' Granges. - ; , - -
: Messrs. JLiUiot, Moore and Mulkey
were appointed a committee to draft ar
ticles of incorporation for building and
shipping purposes, and submit the same
at the next regular meeting. j
The Executive Committee was in
structed to inquire - into the matter, of
leasing or purchasing ground and erect
ing a suitable warehouse at this place,
and report next meeting. , . .
The question for discussion at the
next meeting will be "What are the
best kinds ot stock for farmers to raise V
Messrs! Liggett, Elliot, Simpson and
'Moore were appointed leading debaters.
Mr. Hartless gave notice that he
would offer, at the next meeting, an.
amendment to, the Constitution reliev
ing the President from the duty of ap
pointing the leading debaters on ques
tions for discussion. ; n "i.' . :
On motion the Club adjourned to
meet on Satuiday, May 3 1873. -
x UNCHRISTIAN .SPIRIT. - ,
We would not judge the motives nor
acts of others, yet we cannot but enter"
our solemn protest against such ghoul
ish attacks as the. following, from the
Gazette of last week, in referring to the
death of John. Murray, who perished in
the late fire ':" ' " ' ' '"
Death, under the most favorable circum
stances, causesr intense grief when it lays
its terrible grasp noon loved Ones : but to
see a husband and father, in the midwin
ter ot me,-"whOse hair is whitening to? the
tomb, "ushered from a saloon and its associ
ations into etenikgv without a moment's
warning, or any preparation whatever, is
sad beyond-all descriptions We would fain
draw the curtain of - oblivion over such a
scene. - -. - .'':.:. " - " .
Then why did you not ''draw the cur
tain of oblivion " before, publishing the
above unchristian sentiment 1 ' Was the
te'ririble event not affliction enough for
the ereaVed Widowind orphans, with-
out Bucn an nncauea ior, uncnaritaDie a
publication as. the above 1 Could not
our Christian, cotemporary "permit : the
bones of John . Murray to rest in the
silent tomb; and pour balm, instead of
gall, into the hearts of those to whom
his sudden and awful , 'death ,wasj the ;
direst calamity ? Was it necessary, in
order to vindicate his pet theme, which
has the sanction of neither God nor hu
man' nature, that the frailties of the nn-
foitunate man should be paraded, not
only before the eyes of a greedy public,
but sent to harrow np the lacerated
hearts already weighed down with deep
est sorrow and anguish 1 John Mur
ray's faults were those of the head, not
the heart, and dwindle into nothingness
in comparison with the noble impulses
which throbbed within bis bosom. Af
ter he had been called to that " bourne
whence no traveler returns," and taken
his "chamber in the silent halls, of
death," the part of the man of God was
to let his ashes rest in peace. The above
extract is a practical illustration of the
Latin adage : " " Even hares can insult
a dead lion." ,
We learn ' that the late fire and the
consequent death of this gentlemen,
was made- the theme' of thrilling 1 (?)
speeches at the M. E. Church, last Sun
day evening, when the white-robed
minister of God descended from -the
sanctuary to the " level of other citi
zens," and discussed the subiects of
" elections," ' licenses," ' fires," "rum
selling." etc., expressing ' a wish that
the day was other than the Sabbath,
and the. place other than the house of
God, that he might ppeak freely ' the
feelings of his heart. Great God ! have
we not here a picture? An. ordained
minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
with his own lips proclaiming his fulness
of a sentiment unfit to be uttered on the
" Sabbath day," and to preach ' which
in the house dedicated to the worship
of God would be sacrilege 1 'Humili
ating indeed it must be, when the ser
vant of God forgets the - resolution of
St. Paul " to know nothing among his
flock J save Jesus Christ . and Him cru
cified," and goes to stump-speakine: in
the holy tabernacle, dedicated to the
worship of Almighty God. :
Salem's Manufactories. The
Statesman gives, the following in rela
tion to the manufacturing interests of
the capital city : ; "The Willamette
Woolen Mills, which have a world wide
reputation, manufacture annually 300,-
000 yards of cloth, and about .2,500
pairs of blankets. The Salem Flour
Mills last year "shipped to foreign mar
kets 50,000' barrels -'of -flour, , besides
supplying a large home market. ' The
Pioneer Oil mill , manufactured 50,000
gallons of .linseed oil, which, was ship
ped to San Francisco and the Eastern
States, This Company have on. hand
2,000 bushels of, flax seed awaiting
transportation to Linn connty, where a
very large acreage will be sown this
year. Besides the large amount of seed,
they have a great deal already in the
upper counties tor the purpose ot sow

"The report is pretty well confirmed
that Joe Teal, who is now East, has
made arrangements to put on two large
steamers between San Francisco and
Portland. - . 1
.-v- YAQUINA RAILROAD, . - -
We have of ten urged the importance
of a railroad from Corvallis to Yaquina
Bay. Recent developments Jon ;the
Bay have formed another " potent argu
ment in favor of this project. Besides
the countless acres of excellent timber
which skirt the shores of Yaquina river";
the immense coal deposits along the
Bay ; the facilities for the fishing busi
ness, and many other resources, which
only await the means of transportation
to pour 'their wealth into the lap of
Benton county, gold mines have recent
ly been discovered therei which promise
uo insignificant means of benefit to this
section ' of the Willamette Valley.
Means of quick and safe transit once
established, all these latent- resources
of the country . would at once spring
into lite and activity, giving employ
ment to thousands, furnishing a market
for the products of . oar broad, fertile
acres, at bur very . door,. . With a nar-row-guage
road, at a cost - of less than
one million dollars, the farmer of Ben
ton could ' get the same price for his
wheat and other products as they now
bring in San Francisco,' Think of get
ting from $1 to $1.20 for your wheat
every year, instead of fifty-cents. The
advance, of prices on products in three
counties ' especially benefited . by such
a road would pay its entire cost in less
than five years. Let our farmers and
usineBS men consider these things, and
make an effort " for the building of a
railroad from. Corvallis to: Yaquina Bay,
without further delay. :
THE O. & C. RAILROAD.
We hear it stated by parties just
down from Oakland, that a telegram
was received and posted at that place,
last week, announcing that an agent of
the firm of Lulzbach Bros.' had arrived
at Portland, and would take possession
of the East Side railroad, and build it to
a junction with the California & Oregon
road. ' At a recent meeting of European
bond holders, held at Frankfort-on-the-Maine,
the management of the road and
the extraordinary -depreciation of the
bonds were freely discussed. It was
insisted that the control of the road
be taken from Mr, Holladay, , as that
gentleman was holding the commerce
of the State in his hauds, and injuring
the people by his iron grip on their
throats and his hands in the pockets of
the people. A committee was appoint
ed to act in the matter as it thought
best.' The resources of Oregon were
very well set forth by Consul Wolf,
who stated that notwithstanding the
means of steamer communication and
the Pacific Railroad, the State had
increased in population but very slowly
dunng the last twenty years, and this
was attributable to the monopoly prices
of transportation of freight and passen
gers, -and the stifling of all healthy
competition by those who held control
ot the carrying trade, s j , -
AGRICULTUAL COLLEGE. -
At the meeting held last Saturday, it
was announced that there were yet
$700 to be raised, in order to '" pay off
the indebtedness on the agricultural
farm, Rev. Wooley reported that he
could obtain a portion of- this- amount
in sections of the country not yet visit
ed by him. , Profs! Arnold and Emery
each subscribed $50, and, with what
Mr. Wooley feels confident' of securing,
the amount has by this time been re
duced to some $300. That our citizens
will raise this sum in a few days, there
can be' no doubt, as a number, have
already doubled their first subscriptions,
The vast importance of this matter has
not been overlooked, , and everyone
interested in the welfare of cur count;
should at once put down his name and
such amount as is consistent with his
circumstances. " Let the farm be paid
for, and the Agricultural College retain
ed in its present location. .
Patrons or Husbandry. One of
these organization was r instituted : in
Polk county .last Saturday, by the
Deputy, Mr. J. Campbell. The farmers
of this connty are favorably impressed
with the objects and working of these
granges, and will shortly organize sev
eral in this connty. . . --.;
