SCHOOL PIC NIC-
The pupils and friends of the South
School headed by the 2d Brigade Band, left
the school house Saturday morning, June
14th, and marched to the beautiful fir grove
in Mrs. Avery's pasture, where swings, cro
quet grounds and seats had been arranged
for the pleasure and comfort of the picnic
ers. After an hour's rambling through the
grove, picking flowers, playing croquet, etc.,
dinner was announced. After dinner an
hour was pleasantly passed in listening to
the remarks of Prof. McElroy, Rev. Hanna
mad Judge McFadden. The first and last
gentlemen indulged in a great many funnv
sayings. The Professor's remarks were
about our public school system. It is the
base work of our government ; he spoke of
our system of a quarter of a century ago ;
the American people have reason to be proud
of its great improvement and of our educa
tional advantages ; our public schools are
the schools of the masses ; a liberal educa
tion is within the reach of all ; patrons
should foster their schools visit them reg
ularly and often ; if a hired man is not pro
perly looked after, the work will not be sat
isfactorily done ; just so in the school room ;
attend to the education of the child, then,
with more attention than any of the home
affairs. The remarks were replete with
good sense. The Superintendent is inter
ested in our schools ; his actions tell better
than words can express.
Rev. Hanna's remarks were very pleasing
to the little folks ; he addressed himself to
them ; you must enjoy yourselves now the
colt when housed up all winter feels fresh
and vigorous when turned out to grass ; just
so with you ; you are now turned out to
grass to romp and enjoy yourselves. He
said many pleasing things to to the little
folks.
Judge McFadden spoke about the school
system of our country and that of Germa
ny ; a compulsory system of education is
adopted in Prussia ; in an army of 120,000,
but three men were found that could not
read and write ; he does not believe in pre
paratory departments being tacked on to
onr colleges ; preparatory work ought to be
done by public schools. The .Judge's re
marks were received with much enthusi
asm. The exercises of the day closed with a
game of base ball between a picked nine and
a nine from the band. The follo&rag is the
score : - J

School Report. The South Corvallis
school closed the year's work on Friday,
June 14th. The past year has been the
most successful one since the organization of
the district. The school is divided into two
grades advanced and primary. The course
of study of the higher grade is the advanced
course adopted by the state board of educa
tion and the commercial course. Number
of pupils enrolled during the year : First
term, 68 boys, 60 girls. Second term, 75
boys, 66 girls. Third term, 66 boys, 55
girls. Teachers, E. A. Milner and Miss
Grace Hanna.
Bible Work. At the last annual meet
ing of the Benton County Bible Society, held
in Corvallis, the city and county were di vided
into districts and canvassers appointed, with
instructions to visit every family in their
respective districts, and thus accomplish the
entire canvass of the county. Rev. G. W.
Bennett, last week, completed his work in
full visiting sixty-five families ; among
whom he fonnd eight families destitute ot
the Bible. All of whom were supplied but
only three by donation. If any of the other
canvassers have performed their work, they
have not reported the same to the president
of the Society. This is a grand work, and
Rev. Mr. Bennett says he has enjoyed it
very much.
River Improvements. R, A. Haber
sham, assistant Engineer, gave us a brief
but very pleasant call, last Tuesday morn
ing. Mr. H. came up on the Occident, but
returned down the river, in his own small
boat, for the purpose of examining the same
with a view to improvements. He thinks
the most serious impediments to navigation
to Corvallis, is found about three mile be
low this city but feels quite sanguine that
this can be obviated by dredging. He thinks
the prospects are favorable for boats reach
ing Corvallis all summer. If skill and ex
perience can insure it, Mr. H. is the right
man in the right place.
Disappointed. We had completed our
arrangements for attending the commence
ment exercises at Philomath College, last
Tuesday and Wednesday but our plans
were completely frustrated by illness. On
Tuesday, about noon, we were taken sud
denly ill, with some heart trouble. Had not
felt well all morning, but attended to busi
ness, partially. Dr. Farra was called and
soon gave us relief. Relaxation from busi
ness, and a trip to the sea coast or moun
tains, for which we are now arranging, seems
imperative.
Excursion. The Sunday School excur
sion from Albany to Corvallis, last Friday,
is represented as a very pleasant affair. We
regret onr inability to be present and assist
in welcoming the visitors. We were absent
at Salem, at the time, attending Grand

hand, the next time you come, Bro. De-Vore.

GRAND LODGE, I. O. G. T.
The fifteenth annual session of the Grand
Lodge of the Independent Order of Good
Templars for Oregon, convened in Good
Templars' Hall, Salem, on the 17th of June,
1879.
Grand Lodge was called to order at the
appointed time, with the following officers
present : W. R, Dunbar, G. W. C. T. ; W.
S. James, G. S. ; G. A. Reed, A. G. S. ; J.
E. Houston, G.T.
The following pro tem. appointments were

W. O. T.
The committee on credentials reported
over a hundred representatives and altern
ates present and entitled to seats. After
which the Grand Lodge Degree was con
ferred and a recess taken until afternoon,
when the regular business of the session
was resumed in the Degree of Charity.
The attendance was large, and the utmost
harmony and good feelingprevailed through
out the entire session, which continued un
til 4:30 P. M. of Thursday. Notwithstand
ing the reports of the grand officers were
not as encouraging as could have been de
sired, as to the aggregate membership, the
reports from various portions of the juris
diction showed that our cause has taken
deep root throughout the State and that the
order, in connection with other temperance
organizations, is accomplishing a glorious
work.
The public meeting, at the Opera House,
on Wednesday evening, was a grand suc
cess. The large audience in attendance
clearly indicating the interest taken in the
temperance cause by the citizens of Salem.
After the public installation of the officers,
the time was most pleasantly and profitably
employedby short, impromptu, speeches,
full of life and snap, interspersed with ex
cellent music by the Salem Brass Band and
a select choir of ladies and centlemen.
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year :
G W 0 T C A Schlbrede, of Salem.
G W Coun B H Allen, of Halsey.
G W V T Mrs Julia Simpson, Portland.
G W S Mrs C A Cobum, Portland.

G W M- A M Allen, The Dalles.
G W D M Miss Alice Riches, of Turner.
G W C L A Banks, of drain's.
G W Mess L C Fisher, of Salem.
Albany was selected as the place for hold
ing the next session of the Grand Lodge.
Guard Against Fire. As the 4th of
July is near at hand, it is well for our citi
zens to take every precaution against fire,
remembering that the great fires in Chicago,
Boston, and other cities, were caused by
fire-crackers While it is hardly expected
that fire-crackers, and fire-works, of all
kinds, will be entirely discarded, it is well
that their use be carefully guarded. Some
cities pass strict ordinances, forbidding
their use. It would be well, also, for our
Chief Engineer, City Marshal, Night Watch,
and citizens generally, to see that every
precautionary means is used to prevent fires.
It has been a long time since Corvallis has
had a "burn." Let the vigilance of the
past be continued, and let the proper officers
see that our cisterns, engines, hose, and fire
apparatus are in perfect working order, at
all times, but especially during the ap
proaching dry season.
Occidental Hotel. Messrs. Young &
Polley have just finished furnishing "thier
new hotel and will open the same for the re
ception of the public the first of next week.
This hotel supplies, perfectly, the need so
long felt by Corvallis. In its location the
house is well situated ; the rooms are com
modious, and neatly and comfortably fur
nished. The dining room is large, well
lighted, and every way convenient. Alto
gether the new hotel is one of the most at
tractive places in the city, and will furnish
for weary travelers or hungry citizens a place
where their wants can be supplied in a man
ner entirely satisfactorily, even though they
be difficult to please.
There will be no preaching or Sabbath
School in the Presbyterian church on next
Sunday, as the church is undergoing repairs.
On Sunday, Jaly 6th, the regular Commun
ion service of the Church wUi be held at 11
o'clock in the morning.
MONROE ITEMS.
The Methodist campmeeting closed last
Tuesday, a very good meeting.
Mr. George Belknap and family, left for
the Palouse country last Monday.
Base Ball is all the go nowadays, and our
club has challenged the Junction club, and
they wiU play here next Friday afternoon.
Adam Wilhelm has sold his saloon and
will go into more respectable business.
Our school is still underway, and will
close sometime in August.
The United Brethren had a very pleasant
Conference session recently. Rev. Isaac
Belknap was appointed to Philomath circuit
The Methodist will have a two or three
day's meeting in Alsea valley, commencing
next Friday.
George Bus, while chopping wood, cut his
foot, which will lay him up for some days.
We have a new doctor in town.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, of Lafayette, are
visiting friends here. Some of our people,
while coming from camp meeting, upset,
and had a narrow escape, a number of child
ren being in the wagon, no one, however,
was seriously injured. X. Z.
Rebember, the only good cigar in the
market is ' ' Bosenthal's Own. " Trv one
of them,,
Nice Present. Just at tea time, last
Wednesday evening, Mrs. L L Horning, of
this city, sent us a half gallon of Urge, red,
luscious raspberries, covered with nice rich
cream and white sugar. Her little son,
Louis, who brought them, presented them
as a "new kind of berries." Only a few
days since we received a pitcher of thick
cream, but the fair donor required us to keep
mum. Strange how our "weakness" for
"good things" has become known among
our lady readers. And stranger still our
" better half " never objects to our receiving
such presents. The Gazette is furnished at
$2 50 a year, in advance, as usual.
Grand Celebration. We have just re
ceived information that Albany will join
with us in celebrating our National anni
versary, and that their fire department wiU
bring with them the Albany brass band.
The Halsey band is also expected. We wiU
have an immense crowd on that occasion,
and we are satisfied that our people will do
everything in their power to make our
visitors happy.
Attention Ladies ! The Fourth of July
committee on arrangements, desire the ladies
of the various precincts, so far as possible,
to appear in the procession, July 4th, on
horse back. The ladies wiU form immedi
ately next the Liberty Car. A large num
ber are expected.
Railroad. The contractors on the West
side railroad have sent several hundred Chi
namen and a large number of teams forward
on the line of the road, and grading is now
being pushed south of town towards the
Luckiamute. Work is progressing rapidly,
and it will not be long until the moving,
crawling horde of Chinese are out of our
county, and pushing south into Benton. The
work of grading on this road is mostly done
by the "heathen Chinee," and does not
give employment to as many white men and
teams as had been anticipated ; consequent
ly there is some little dissatisfaction, ex
pressed thereat. We ara opposed to the
employment of Chinamei? in any way, or
for any purpose ; but w4-are informed that
in this case it was an absolute necessity, as
the road is not at present a paying one, and
had the company been compelled to pay the
rate of wages necessary to employ white
men, they would have been compelled to
postpone the building of the road, perhaps
for years ; and as it is greatly to the interest
of all citizens of the Willamette valley, and
especially to the West-side counties, to have
the road built, we will try to smother our
feelings of antipathy to the almond-eyed
thieves, until the road is completed ; when
we reserve the right to be as strongly anti
Chinese as we please. . But, to lay all jok
ing aside, we are not sure that the employ
ment of Mongolian labor is of even present
and temporary benefit to the railroad com
pany, and we feel sure that it is a great dis
advantage to farmers and ranchmen who
are unfortunate enough to have a camp of
the thieves near their places. River Side.

At the residence of Wm. Scott, on the

years, 1 1 mouths and 26 days.
John, as we have called him for years,
had suffered a long time from an injury to
his hip, which finally caused his death. He
was a kind hearted, liberal minded young
man, and his early taking off, in the prime
and vigor of manhood, causes grief too deep
for words. His relatives have the earnest
sympathy of a large circle of sincere friends.

Consumption Cured.
An old physician retired from active prac
tice, having had placed in his hands by an
East Indian missionary the formula of a sim
ple vegetable remedy for the speedy and per
manent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung
affections, also a positive and radical cure
for General Debility and all nervous com
plaints, after having thoroughly tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, feels it his duty to make it known
to his suffering fellows. The receipe will be

conclude that you have the Dyspepsia or
Liiver Complaint, ine liver is very apt to
become torpid this season of the year as
poisons arising from stagnant water
or decaying vegetation are more numerous
and are through inhalation taken into the
blood. Unless the liver is strong and active
and furnishes a supply of fresh and pure
blood to drive out the impurities, the above
mentioned symtoms surely follow, and if
not heeded, end in more terrible diseases
and death. White's Prairie D'lower proves

CYCLOPEDIA OF LITERATURE.
A list of the celebrated authors whose
lives and writings are represented in volume
3 of the new Acme edition of Chamber's
Cyclopedia of English Literature, just
received, is certainly very attractive to any
person of fine literary taste. Fox, Penn,
Baxter, Bunyan, Locke, Newton, Browne,
Hale, Walton, Dryden, Temple, Evelyn,
Pepys, Butler, Addison, Swift, Pope, Ram
say, Cibber, Steel, Berkeley, Defoe, and Bo
lingbroke, are a few of -the brilliant stars
which brighten the 416 pages. "It will
bring gladness to many a scholar's heart,"
says the Times, of Philadelphia, "to find,
that this truly admirable work has been
brought within the range of shallow pock
ets." Eight such volumes, beautifully prin
ted, and elegantly bound in cloth, for only
52.50, or by the single volume for 43 cents,
post-paid, is certainly a marvel of cheapness,
and should establish an enviable reputation
for the publishers, ir it can not make their
fortune. Already they report a sale of
nearly 60,000 volumes. It ought to be in
every library and home in the land. Speci
men pages and full particulars as to various
styles of binding, terms to clubs, etc. , will

TESTIMONIALS:
Albany, April 20, 1879.
The undersigned physicians of Albany, having:
seen the apparatus used in 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, wc 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 why the process
should not prove a success.

The undersigned physicians of Cotllis, Oregon,
having had explained to us Ames' process ior preserv
ing meats, etc. , can say that there is r-othing un
healthy about it, as used, and that no fears need be
apprehended on that account. We have also seen
meat, fls.h, butter, etc., that has been kept several
weeks by this 'process," and believe that its claims
to keep the various articles of provisions sweet and
fresh can be sustained. H. Gums, M. D. ,
