BENTON COUNY 8LIGHTLY PERSONAL.
Being a modest man (a failing nf newspaper
men) we seldom publish personal matters
relative to the editor of the Gazette, but
will so far depart from our usual custom as
to give place to the following complimentary
" dig " from our old time friend, Esquire
Lafferty, formerly of this county, and for
many years a close reader and staunch friend
of the Gazette. Friend Lafferty, however,
is mistaken if he supposes the people of
Benton county do not appreciate the f.eble
labors and persistent efforts of the Gazette.
The very "complimentary" vote given the
editor, for the honorable position of State
Printer, at the last election, and the large
and continuous acoessions to our subscrip
tion lists, are the best eulogies that could be
pronounced upon us, and for all of which we
feel duly grateful and appreciative. The
promptness and cheerfulness with which re
newals of subscription and prepayment are
made, are the be3t tests of appreciation
that could be given ; and when the people of
this county enjoy the full fruition of the
" good time coming " in the near future, as
they certainly will, we shall feel more than
compensated for all the toils and hardships
-endured by us during the " dark days" of
the Gazette.
Assured prosperity, cheap transportation,
immense immigration, unexcelled market
facilities, aggregation of capital, high prices
of land, and steady employment for all in
dustrial classes, could be speedially realized,
by a concert of action on the pait of those
interested. Much of the capital of Benton
county, in years past, has sought investment
elsewhere, and but few improvements, of a
public character, have been made. As a
consequence Corvaliis, which should have
been the great hear: of the country, and
from which should have flowed golden
streams of prosperity and enterprise, has
lain dormant, and our streets, in a manner,
been deserted. The cau3e3 of this state of
affairs are patent to the most casual observ
er. It has not been because Nature has not
been lavish in her expenditures in our behalf.
No more romantic, healthful or beautiful
'place can be found on fie Pacific s!o, e ; it
is surrounded by broad aeres of the richest
and best of farming lands ; it :s the geo
graphical center of the grer.t Willamette
Valley the "garden spot" of the Pacific ;
within sixty miles of one of the best natural
harbors between San Francisco and the
Strait of Fuca, and has educational and
church privileges of high order. In
addition to all these advantages we are
upon the eve of being connected, by rail,
with Portland and Vaquiua Bay or Cape
Foulweather. To secure this ocean outlet,
there only remains a few hundred dollars to
be raised ; and the consummation of all our
fondest dreams and brighteat expectation?
will not be suffered to lag for this small pit
tance. The spirit of enterprise and go-ahead-ativeness
uow being manifested, will soon
place Corvaliis ami Bii.ton county in their
prbper position, One bold, united effort,
and the grand work will be accomplished.
We are now upon the eve of unprecedented
prosperity. But remember the " gods help
those who help themselves." But we are
digressing, and without further apology, will
give the letter of our old friend, "Joe"
Lafferty :
Junction City, Oregon, )
April 28, 1879. j
W. B. C RTEn my old and much etttemed
friend: Let ine congratulate you upon the
completion, in the near future, of the ob
jects for which you have labored incessantly
for so many years, I mean the Yaquiua
Riilroad, and the general welfare of Benton
bounty, and especially Corvaliis. While
other men of Beiitou county have been tar
dy aud indifferent to the public good, and
attending to their own secular business, you
have always been found at your post, labor
ing for the good of all, with a zeal worthy
of better remuneration at the hands of the
citizens of Benton than you have ever re
ceived. Even while you have borne the
jibes and jeers of a short-sighted aud disin
terested press of other localities, you have
borne all with patience, and labored with
but one object in view the wellfare of Ben
ton county. And now, when the fruits of
long years of toil are about to be realized, and
the price of all kinds of property has ad
vanced along the contemplated routes of
railroads, as well as in Corvaliis, parties who
have beeu disinterested and silent spect.itors
of the struggle, for years, are now ready to
Step forward and claim the rise in real and
personal property, without compensating
the hand that was the motive power that
wrought this great change.
With proper efforts, by the people of the
valley, the breakwater will be established at
Cape Foulweather. This done, it will in
sure the speedy construction of a first-class
tailroad from Corvaliis to the coast. This,
in oohneciion with the completion of the
west side railroad from Portland through
Corvaliis, to intersect the O. & C. R. R. at
Junction City, will give Benton county
transportation facilities not excelled by any
other county in'the State :' and all other ef
forts combin jd, have not done as much to
effect this mighty change as the Gazette.
and the people of Benton county should not
be slow uow to give support to the man who
has worn out his hie in their interests, by
subscribing, and paying for the Gazette,
their true and tried friend one who has
labored for their welfare while many of them
have been asleep. J. M. Lafferty.
IN FAVOR OF FOULWEATHER.
Hon. Ben. Hayderi, of Polk, like the ma
jority of the lending and influential citizens
of the valley counties, is decidedly in favor
of Cape'Foulweather being selected for'the
construction of the proposed breakwater.
Hon. Judge Burtiett has kindly permitted
us to publish the following extract of a pri
irate letter, received from Mr. Hayden. It
has the right ring, and is but the expression
of all unprejudiced persons in the counties
named. The letter is written from ' Salem
and we make an extract as follows :
Salem, April 10,1879.
Hon, John Burnett Dear Sir: Youts
of the 7th insi. received, and would have
been answered, but I have been from home
several days. I concur with you iii, regard
to the importance, to the valley counties, of
locating the harbor of refuge at the point
designated by you. I have bteen doing, ami
will continue to do, all in my power, to ac
com push that rbject. There is but one
opinion in reference to the matter, in Polk
and Marion counties', and, 1 am pleased to
learn, that the same opinion prevails in Linn
and Lane. The import
ance, to 'th6 valley counties, of locating the
harbor of refuge at Cape Foulweather, can
riot well be over-estimated. I am, at all
times, readv and willing to contribute any
thing in my power to accomplish so desira
ble an object, x ours iruiy .
B. Hayden.
OPIUM SMOKING DENS.
For some time it has been rumored that
dens of the above nature were in existence
in this place, and that some boys and young
men were in the habit of frequenting them.
Until quite recently nothing definite relative
to these "sinks of iniquity" came to our
knowledge, and we tried to hope that they'
existed only in imagination. But recent de
velopments have astonished and confounded
us, and convinced us that the evil has taken
deep root in our midst. Like other vices, it
i3 insidious in its approaches, and the'young,
and inexperienced are easily entrapped and
led away. Most of the frequenters of hese
dens are now known, and closely watched
by our vrgillant night-watch and City Mar
shal, acid when clothed with authority, as
they should be, at once, by the City Coun
cil, arrests will be made without "fear or
favor." In the meantime it behooves every
parent to know where their sons spend their
eve.iings. And it is the duty of every good
citizen to lend his or her influence in arrest
ing this terrible evil, which has no equal in
the entire catalogue of vice. It3 blight
transcends that of the deadly upas and its
destruction is not confined to time, but
"kills beyond the grave."
The Oregon City Enterprise, of the 3d
inst. , has the following in reference to the
opium dens in that city : " We have on
more than one occasion referred to the opium
dens that infest our city. On Tuesday night
last we were requested by a gentleman of
this city to acompany him in , search of his
wayward son. Reaching the China house
below tho Phoenix Hotel we cautiously en
tered the building. There was no light on
the ground floor, and for a moment we
groped our way in darkness. Hearing the
sound of Voices in the rear we made for
th it direction, and on opening the door we
unexpectedly dropped on about half a dozen
of young men, members of some of the most
respectable families in the city, in a most
disgusting state of insensibility lying on the
floor. e do not wish to dwell on the
scene ; it was something really awful. The
party that we were in search of was not
there, but if we only felt to publish the
names of those that were, there would be a
slight rumpus in Oregon City for a whiie.
Wiiy don't the council take action in the
matter ? Why not invest the Marshal with
full authority to bring the transgressors to
justice. We give fair warning to those
young bloods, that after this we shall pub
lish the nam's of all parties found in those
dens, irrespective of family or friendship."
CALVIN B. MACDOaAL J S LECTURE-
Mr. MacDonald'a Temperance lecture -ast
Saturday evening, before the Blue Ribbon
Club, at the College chapel, was a splendid
success, both in relation to the attendance,
the structure of the lecture, and the manner
of its delivery. Tie la:'te hall was over
crowded with the elite of Corvaliis, one half
of whom were ladies. The lecture was a
rapid succession of brilliant aud eloquent
passages, from beginning to end, and was
de.ivered with a distinctness and force of
expression which surprised the speaker's
friends, who had heard him, several years
ago, uudcr le3S favorable conditions. Mr.
MacDonald does not pretend to declama
tion. He makes no gestures, aud confines
himself to his manuscript ; yet, he possesses
a wonderful power of facinatiou over his
audience, and literally holds them spell
bound from first to last. During the who.e
nour there was scarcely a movement in the
assemblage, except of discontent at the dis
turbance of some one entering the hall.
No applause was sought for by the speaker,
upon whom every eye was fixed in earnest
attention ; a dead-stillness pervaded the au
dience until the close, when the speaker
was rewarded by a spontaneous outburst of
sincere and enthusiastic admiration and
approval.
While doubtless aware of his own spies-
did powers of mind, and complete mastery
of the emotions of men, Mr. MacDonald is
wholly devoid of all affectation, is unpre
tentious in demeanor, and makes friends
with his audience at the outset. He does
not pretend to be 'an orator, yet exerts all
powers of the orator's art, carries his audi
ence along with him at will, and leaves them
discontented with the brevity of his speech.
At the conclusion of the lecture, the uni
versal sentiment was to have him 'back
again ; ana on that occasion, which is set
for the 14th of May, there will be found no
hall large enough to hold the people.
SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT IN PROSPECT
At the request of a number of leading
citizens, Calvin B. MacDonald will deliver
another lecture, in this city, on the evening
of the 14th of May. It wi.l be given in the
spacious City Hall, which will be properly
arranged for what will undoubtedly be mode
a great occasion, as measures will be taken
to advertise it throughout the surrrouudiag
neighborhood. The lecture, to begivn
wholly for the benefit of the Good Jem-
plars' Organ Fund is entitled "Thirty
Years on the Border," and will not be alto
gether a temperance speech, but will also
include other incidents of border life in Cal
ifornia, which have come under the observa
tion of the fpeaker during almost a third of
a century of activity as a pioneer miner and
journalise. All who are familiar with Mr
MacDonald's graphic powers of description,
aud who know anything of his life-history
in California, will expect a rare and unprec
edsnted evening's entertainment, to which
several lady and gentlemen vocalists will
add their exertions. The lecture will be
prepared especially for fhe occasion,' and the
whole of the proceeds will be applied to the
purpose announced.

The westside road has been permanently
located through Independence, Polk county,
which creates some dissatisfaction at Mon
mouth. Some places are certain to be left
'out in the cold. Can't reach every man's
door. All the company ask, we believe, is
dit of way and depot grounds. The cifi
118 of Oorvallis should grant these readily.
We have received some fine specimens of
cards, bills of fare, etc., of the Cosmopoli

of way through Benton, which will, we doubt
not, be cheerfully granted.

A REQUEST-
All persons desiring brick, are requested
to let half the amount for the number de
sired, accompany the order. The balance to
be paid when the brick are taken from the
yard. For me to hold orders for weeks be
fore the brick are needed, and tben receive

Corvaliis, April 23, 1879. ' Tw.
New Music. We have just received from
M. Gray, 117 Pest Street, San Francisco, an
exquisite litte ballad entitled '-Grandfather's
Home." It has simple heartfelt
words, wedded to a melody that leaves a
lasting impression on the hearers. Mr.
Gray informs us that his California song,
" Where is Heaven ? " has caught the fever
of popularity in the eastern states. Either
of these two pieces will be mailed on re
ceipt of 35 cts. stamps.
City Election. Next Monday the legal
voters of Corvaliis will be palled upon 1 o
choose officers for the ensuing year. Every
citizen is interested in thi3 matter, and the
sole object should be to get good, reliable,
competent persons to fill the various posi
tions. It is not expected, or desired, that
politics should cut any figure in our muniji
pal election, but it is desirable that thor
ough temperance men should be chosen to
conduct the affairs of the city. The mass
meeting for selection of candidates was to be
held yesterday after we had gone to press,
so that nothing can be said, in this issue of
its action. We have no " pets" or favorites
for any of the offices, but only desire that
good and true men be chosen. Let every
voter do ids duty, and we t ill be content
with the result.
Literary Treat. In our hurry, last
week, we inadvertently omitted to make
mention of the tine elocutionary entertain
ments with which our citizens had been fa
vored by Miss Sarah Tuthi 1, of Portlanc".
She gave two of her popular entertainments
for the benefit of the Presbyterian church,
which were well attended, and also read one
of her finest selections, before the Blue Rib
bon Club, on Saturday evening. This lady
possesses a voice of wondrous power, over
which she has marvelous control, --never fail
ing to enrapture her audience. She contem
plates returning to Corvaliis, during the
summer, for the purpose of teaching a class
in elocution. Due notice of time and place
will be given, and wo bespeak, for her, a
full class. Miss Tuthiil comes very highly
recommended as a teacher of elocution.
Explanatory. -The committee ot arrange
ments, appointed by a mass meeting of the
citizens of Corvaliis, having in charge mat
ters connected with, the location of the har
bor of refuge at Cape Foulweather, desiring
to furnish information relative to this im
portant work to parties not subscribers to
the Gazette, subscribed for a number of
copies to send to persons "interested in this
matter. For weeks past the Gazette has
contained valuable and reliable matter on
this subject, which the committee desired to
use. This will accouut for certain persons
getting the Gazette without ordering the
same which is contrary to our custom
We never send the Gazette' to any one
without an order, and stop the paper when
the term of subscription expires, unless re
newed. We force the Gazette on no one.
Our terms are $2.50 per annum invariably
in advance. To the persons receiving the
Gazette, without their order, no bill will
ever be sent. We should nave made this
explanation sooner, but it was an oversight,
on onr part.

Daily Mail. Mr, J. S. Cooper, of Inde

ing after the matter of establishing a daily
mail line between Corvaliis and Newport,
Yaquina Bay. The rapid growth of the
western portion of Benton county impera
tively demands a change from a tri-weekly
to a daily mail. We hope the change will
be made immediately. Petitions are being
circulated ior mis purpose, ana snoulcl re

Serenade. On last Monday evening, at
9:30 o'clock, the 2nd Brig. Band assembled

and discoursed some of their best music
This serenade was given as a compliment to
the family ot Mr. M. Stock, who returned
to Corvaliis last week after a residence of
several years in the Eastern states. It will
be remembered that Mr. S. was one of our
first merchants and in Corvaliis his daugh
ter. Miss' Minnie Stock, now an accomplished
yonng lady, was born, and at last, after sev
eral years residence in Cleveland, Ohio, and
New York city, he has returned to Corval
iis, fully satisfied to remain.
