WEEKLY I Hill li tis GAZETTE.
Corvajlis, May 23, 1879.
FOURTH OF JULY.
.The Yamhill Reporter, last week suggest
ed a Fourth of July celebration at McMinn
ville. The Lafayette Courier, instead of
indorsing the 'project, says: "It is well
enough and suits us all right, as far as it
sroes ; but why not make it a county cele
bration, instead of limiting it to only one.
place I - " Let us all join hands by
having delegates from each place, to meet
early, and decide where we can have a coun
ty celebration. It's a double cele
bration this year, you know, the glorious
Fourth, and the railroad running through
our county."
We made the same suggestion in substance,
relative to a celebration in this county, in
last week's Gazette. Heretofore we have
had several small celebrations, in different
parts of the county, but why not all come
together, at some convenient place, say
Philomath, or Corvallis, as should be deem
ed best, and have a grand Benton county
celebration. By that time the iron for th-3
first ten mile section of the Willamette Val
ley and Coast R. R. , will be received, and,
it may be, track-laying commenced. Would
it not be a grand affair if the people
would take hold of this matter, with a will,
and complete the road from here to Philo
math, by that time ? A little united effprt
would secure this much desired result. Who
will lead off in this matter ? Talk the sub
ject up in every neighborhood, and then let
us have a meeting of delegates from every
voting precinct in the county. We have
the best Brass Band in the State the best
cooks the prettiest girls and the healthiest
babies and we need just such a gathering
as this to inaugurate the " good time com
ing" in old Benton.
Since the above was in type, to-wit : last
Monday evening, a mass meeting of the cit
izens of Corvallis, was called at the court
house, to take the initiatory step3 toward
celebrating the coining Fourth, in Benton.
The meeting was called to order by J udge
McFadden, and, on motion, Hon. John Bur
nett was called to the chair, and George M.
Gerhard was elected secretary.
After some discussion, it was decided to
celebrate the coming Fourth in an appropri
ate manner, at Corvallis.
On motion, the following persons were ap
pointed a committee of arrangements : J. W.
Rayburn, W. S. McFadden, W. B. Carter,
John Burnett, and George M. Gerhard.
On motion, the following gentlemen were
appointed a committee on finance : A. J.
Young, John S. Baker, Cy. Powers, D.
Carlile, Zeph. Job and John Smith.
On motion the citizens of this county, and
those of adjoining bounties, were cord'ally
invited to attend and participate in the cele
bration. The committee of arrangements were in
structed to specially invite the lire compa
nies of this city to take part in the exercises
of the day. The finance committee were,
on motion, instructed to make an immediate
" canvass tit tM city to defray the expenses.
It has now been two years since we had a
Celebration at Corvallis, and our people seem
very anxious for one. We can have a rous
ing time, if all pull together.
On motion, adjourned to meet at this
place next Monday evening, at which time
we honld like to see the honrfe filled.
There are many good reasons why a crtin
ty celebration should be held at the county
seat, especially this year. In the first place,
it would be almost impossible for all our cit
izens, who desire to attend a celebration, to
procure means of conveyance, while our
friends from the country, could just as easily
come to Corvallis as any other point, after
they get started. There are other good
reasons, also, why the celebration should be
in Corvallis. Let us have the grandest cele
bration ever held in Benton.
C. B. R, C The Corvallis Bine Ribbon
Club met last Saturday evening, at the M:
E. chnrch, and, although the house was
pretty well filled, a few more could have ob
tained seats very comfortably. The meet
ing was opened with music by the choir,
and prayer by Prof. Ladru Royal. . The
President, Dr. J. R. Bay ley, announced
that inasmuch as Dr. Green, eln ex-com.,
had failed to procure speakers, it would be
in order for him to entertain the Club. Dr.
G. responded in his usually impressive and
pointed style, urging the importance of unit
ed action and individual effort in the tern'
pcrance cause, and referring to the unceas
ing labors and efforts of the enemies of the
cause. He was followed by Miss Cora Bay
ley, who favored the audience with a choice
selection, which was read with great ease
and distinctness, and highly applauded.
The President made a few remarks, in his
usual earnest and happy style all of which
was interspersed with excellent music by
the choir. The following officers were elect
ed for the1 ensuing quarter :' Dr. H.Green,
President ; Mrs. E. Wooward and Dr. J. R.
Bayley, Vice Presidents ; W. B. Carter,
Secretary, after" which the Club adjourned
for two weeks, to meet in the Evangelical
church, of which due notice will be given.

VISIT TO PHILOMATH-
On list Thursday afternoon, in response
to a cordial invitation from several citizens
of that thriving little city of the hills, we
accompanied Calvin B. MacDonald, Esq.,
thither. At 2 o'clock, p. m. , Mr. S. Gray,
of that place, called at the Gazette office
for us, with a splendid team and comfort.'.-
ble spring hack. We seemed peculiarly fa
vored, as we made the trip without rain,
and the roads were in much better condition
than we expected to find them. The ride
was an exceedingly pleasant one, and Mac
seemed perfectly delighted with the grand
scenery of the foot-hills and the magnificent
fields of green grain which stretch almost
the entire distance six miles.
Upon arriving at Philomath we were cor
dially greeted by some of the leading citi
zens, every preparation for our comfort hav
ing been provided. And we will take occa
sion to say, just here, that a more kind
hearted, hospitable, and generous people
than the citizens of Philomath and vicinity,
cannot be found. We were provided with
the best accommodations at Mr. C. B Well's
hotel. The afternoon was spent very pleas
antly, and at 8 o'clock the large college
chapel was well filled with an intelligent
and appreciative audience, to hear Mr. Mac
Donald, the veteran journalist and orator.
It was one of Mr. MacDonald's happiest ef
and seemed to give entire satisfaction.
This was the second meeting of the Blue
Ribbon Club, at Philomath, which now
numbers about 150 members. Julius Brown
son, Esq., is president of the Club. The
music, by a select choir, was excellent, and
the collection, quite liberal. At six o'clock
the next morning, after a hearty breakfast,
we found a hack at the hotel door, ready to
eoriVey us to Corvallis, as Mr. MacDonald
desired to arrive in time for the stage, in or
der to connect with the cars at Albany for
Halsey, where he was to lecture on Friday
evening. Mr. Marcus Brownson was our
Jehu, and right handsomely does he manip
ulate the "ribbons."
Philomath is growing very rapidly, but
time will not permit us, at present, to write
the place up. We intend to do so, at an
early day, however.
Mrs. Kisor, at Philomath, has just made
some splendid improvements in her house,
and is now prepared to entertain the travel
ing public, or regular boarders, in excellent
style. She has fitted up her sitting room in
good style, and added some very handsome
pictures to the walls. Upon the center ta
ble will be found the Gazette and other
newspapers, interesting books, etc. Good
place to stop.
S. Friedman and wife, of Salem, came up
last Monday, to take a look at Corvallis,
and returned by Tuesday's boat. . It rained
pretty much all the time they were here.
Corvallis, like most other Oregon towns, is
not very lovely when it is raining. Hope
they will come again, when the weather is
more pleasant, Mr. Friedman was loooking
after business.
Quite a number of persons, from Salem
and Independence, who had not been ad
vised of the indefinite postponement of the
..:- t t.v. i io i." ,.;.!,
came up on the Chief, on that day, and after
taking a stroll through our muddy streets
departed. It seems too bad that anybody
should have been disappointed, as the fire
companies had taken great pains to give no
tice of the postponement. If blame attaches
anywhere, we do not know where to locate it.
Returned. Last Tuesday afternoon Dr.
Frank Cauthorn arrived home, to the de
light of his aged parents and numerous
friends. The Doctor gave us a friendly and
pleasant call last Wednesday morning. He
is in excellent health and seems glad to get
back to the home of his childhood. He sur
prised his friends, as to his knowledge of
current events in this city forgetting that
he bad been a constaut reader of the Ga
zette.

TESTIMONIALS:
Albany. April 20. 1879.
The undersigned physicians of Albany, having
seen the appiratus used m Ames process for preserv
ing meats, etc. , and heard the manner of its use ex
plained, together with the chemicals used, will say
that as used, we do not consider there is any danger
to the health to be feared, either in operating the ap
paratus, or in using the articles preserved. Not hav
ing seen a protracted test of the process of preserva
tion by the chemicals, as used in the manner indicat
ed, we will only say that the theory sounds reasona
ble, and we can assign no cause hy the process
snouiu not prove a success.

meat, fish, butter, etc., that has been kept several
