OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY
Corvallis, July 25, 1879.
W. B. CARTER,
THE NEXTCENSUS.
Superintendent Walker is evident
ly resolved to make the next census
reports still more complete and relia
ble than those of 1870, which, under
his direction, were superior to any
previously collected. He is already
engaged in the preliminary prepara
lions, and he calls upon the practicing
physicians and surgeons for assistance
in obtaining a mass of information as
to the deaths in the country and their
causes, which would be of the great
est interest and value. He asks them
to furnish him returns of all deaths
occurring in their practice during
the year which will end May 31,
1880, with details as to to the place
and date of death, the name, sex,
race or color, age, with date of birth,
and occupation of deceased, the cause
of death, etc. General Walker will
furnish blanks covering the points
desired, and he oughs to receive the
hearty co-operation of the medical
profession. In most cities and many
large towns physicians are required
by general or local law to furnish
Mich details to the proper municipal
authority ; but in the country such
requirements do not generally exist,
and the Superintendent can only ob
tain the desired information by the
voluntary assistance of the doctors.
If the profession will heartily unite
in this contribution to the next cen
sus returns, they will do the public a
great service, and the warm indorse
ment given the suggestion at the re
cent meeting of the American Medi
cal Association leads to the hope that
they will generally respond.
ACROSS THE ISTHMUS.
Mr. James B. Eads has published a
letter proposing a substitute for the
ship canal across the isthmus of Pan
am a, by constructing a railroad for
transportion of the largest ships with
their entire cargoes overland from
ocean to ocean. He is satisfied of
the entire feasibility of such trans
portation, and says that for a sum
not exceeding one-third of the esti
mated cost of the canal, namely,
about $50,000,000, the largest ships
which enter the port of New York
can be transferred, when fully loaded,
with absolute safety, across the isth
mus, on a railway constructed for
the purpose, within twenty-four hourB
from the moment they are taken in
charge in one sea until they are de
livered into the other, ready to de
part on their journey.
The road-bed of the railway would
be forty feet in width, with eight or
ten rails laid upon it to sustain the
car or cradle upon which the ship is
placed. The vessel is to be raised to
the level of the road by a lock, or by
a huge hydraulic elavator, of such
power and strength as to make the
transfer of the ship from the railway
to the sea, and from the sea to the
railway, a matter of perfect safety
and dispatch.
A San Diego Heroine. San Di
ego possesees a genuine heroine in a
young lady named Miss Mary Law
rence. Recently a band of wild cat
tle were being driven through the
streets, when one of them singled
out a child at play and started for it.
The vaquero, who was drunk, turn
bled off his horse as he attempted to
turn the furious animal. At this mo
ment Miss Lawrence came along,
and, taking in thesituation at a glance,
sprang into the vacant saddle, ran
down the wild steer, threw a shawl
over its bead just as it was about to
goro the child, and taking advantage
of the confusion of the beast, picked
up the child without dismounting
and carried it off in safety.
One of the new industries of Ger
many reported by Dr. Stutzer to be
" now in a flourishing condition," is
the manufacture of artificial clover
seed. Fragments of gravel ore sift
ed until particles of a suitable size are
obtained, and the substitute for seed
is then shaken up with some coloring
substance until it acquires the desired
hue. An ordinary pocket microscope
is quite sufficient, however, to expose
the cheat. This goes ahead of wood
en nutmegs and basawood pumpkin
seeds.
Db. Newman spoke, in a recent
sermon, of " the sad funeral proces
sion" which followed Abel to the
grave. Ab irreverent woman in the
audience nudged her companion, and
whispered : " Not such a large pro
cession, but very select. None but
the first families."
" BITTER" MONOPOLY BROKEN.
One of the last acts of Congress
was the almost unanimous passage of
Mr. McKenzie' (of Kentucky,) bill
removing the duty on quinine. Two
or three bills covering this object
were introduced early in the session,
one by Mr. McKenzie himself, but
they went to Fernando Wood's Ways
and Means Committee, and, like some
other good measures sent there, never
saw daylight again. But persever
ence wins, and in the interim of wait
ing for adjournment Mr. McKenzie
introduced a new bill and it went
through both houses with a rush. A
profit of about $700,000 per year has
been monopolized by three or four
firms for several years past, and it
was a creditable job placing it on the
free list. The revenue received from
the tax amounted to but little over
$10,000 per year, as the tariff" was so
high that but a small quantity of the
salt was imported, hence the high
price and the immense profits of the
little clique of manufacturers in this
country.
NEW R0AD.
Ed. Gazette : The wagon road
from Pioneer to Elk City is now
compled and ready for travel. Ya
quina Bay, with its sea coast and
grand scenery and healthful climate,
is growing more popular every year
as a resort for pleasure seekers. Elk
City is located at the junction of Ya
quina and Big Elk rivers, and is a
pleasant place to spend a few weeks
in fishing, hunting, etc. .The grass
and vegetation is fresh and green the
year round. The pure cold spring
water rushing down the mountain
sides enlivens and beautifies the val
leys below, and quenches the thirst
of those who partake of the pure
and sparkling beverage. The cli
mate is mild, and the air fresh, balmy
and invigorating. Being surrounded
with grand and lofty mountains the
scenery is diversified and beautiful,
and well protected from heavy
winds. The surroundings here are
the most pleasant for those seeking
health, rest and amusement, of any
place on the bay. Excellent timothy
hay and good pasturage can be had
at reasonable rates, and it is much
better and cheaper for parties coming
to the bay to come to Elk CityJgave
their teams, and go the beach flfPwa
ter. The facilities for going are good
either by steam launch or sail
boats ard the fare is v ery cheap, es
pecially to large parties. Yours tru
ly, Celilo.

More than twenty cargoes of Ameri
can coal have reached the Mediterra
nean within the past sixteen months,
and a report has recently reached
London that an Italian firm has or
dered a supply of 100,000 tons of coal
from the United States. If our Eng
lish cousins do not discover trichinae,
pi euro-pneumonia or some other ter
ribly contagious ailment in Ameri
can coal, and decree that it shall be
burned at the port of landing, Ameri
can steaks and chops may yet be
broiled and American flour baked
into bread on British soil by Penn
sylvania coal. "And what will the
croakers do then ? poor things."
Courageous. A young lady in
Cincinnati, whose betrothed was in
the habit of drinking, but had sol
emnly promised to abandon it, stood
recently with him before the altar on
her wedding day. His tell-tale breath
revealed to her that he bad broken
his promise and had been drinking
whisky. She at once decided that
she could not trust her happiness to
such a faithless man, and when the
minister asked her if she would take
him for her husband she decisively
answered, "No!" Better then than
when repentance would have come
too late.
Gone Over. General Samuel Ca
ry, of Indiana, candidate for Vice
President on the Peter Cooper ticket
in 1876, and father of the rag baby
in Indiana, has gone over body and
soul to the Democracy, and has
promised to bring the entire green
back organization with him. Just
how many " promises to pay" it took
to convert Mr. Cary has not been
reported
A large meteor fell on the farm of
Col. C. H. Perry, in Emmet county,
Iowa, on May 10th. It was removed
and became the subject of a lawsuit
of its possessors. A few days ago
Colonel Perry took possession of it
in a replevin suit. The meteor weighs
431 pounds and is considered as the
most valuable specimen of its kind
on the continent.
A statute law of Illinois requires
farmers and others to keep their

BAYjTEMS.
Editor Gazette: A party con
sisting of Miss Rader, E. M. Woolf,
F. W. Stanton and wife, yonr occa
sional scribbler and his better half,
made a visit to Siletz Agency, on
Saturday, the 19th. The day was
fine, and after a delightful ride of
eight miles, we reached the agency,
and were received with genuine cor
diality by Mr. Bagley and Mr. Swan.
The day was spent in inspecting the
new boarding school building, nearly
completed, and watching the "gather
ing clans" who came to see and talk
with the "New Tyee," Mr. E. A.
Swan. I had witnessed many scenes
of this kind, and was not disappoint
ed to hear the old story repeated.
Mr. Bagley, who has been a faithful
servant for six years, retires glad to
be released of the cares of office.
Mr. Swan, who made a favorable im
pression, talks and acts like one used
to a stirring life, and be will find the
tedious routine duties of an Indian
Agent anything but pleasant. We
wish him success, however, and hope
his efforts mav be seconed by the
people of the Bay.
The " Kate and Anna made an
excursion trip up the Bay this morn
ing with a lively party of valley
folkp. She leaves this evening for
the wreck of the " Uncle Sam." to
raise some chains and anchors.

00 FOR HIM.
He is a coor. hardworkinz man
trvinc to pay honest debts and sup
nort his familv by honest toil ; but
' go for him," because he cannot pay
von a few dollars he owes, lie is
poor and entitled to no consideration.
Keep him down !
Help him ! He's a rich man, who
robbed a bank or made an assign
ment, lives in a fine mansion and
leisurely, enjoying life, while his wife
and children are deprived of none of
the luxuries of wealth or the enjoy
ment of society. He's smart, an en
terprising business man, and its a
pity he robbed his creditors. Don't
say anything to hurt his tender feel
ings, nor expect him to soil his- deli
cate fingers by toil, lie compound
ed with creditors at twenty-hve or
thirty per cent, and now lives in lux
urious ease, an honored, respected
citizen and a prominent man.
Go for him ! He's poor he is try
ing to pay cent for cent with interest
and his bands are hardened bv toil
his wife and children feel the pinch
ings of poverty and the tightness of
the times he lives in a small house
and fares scantily, but is as good as
he deserves he has no business to
be pooi nor honest. He's a fool for
not robbing a bank or stealing, from
those who would have trusted him
in prosperous days. He ought to be
poor! Go tor him ! Keep him down
pile upon him such a weight ot oblo
quy and pecuniary embarrassment
that he will never be able to rise.
A Cursed Spot. The Salt Lake
Tribune savs: A lady who recently
viaited Mountain Meadows, informs
us they are now the very picture of
desolation. .Before the Mormons
murdered 131 innocent men, women
and children there in 1857, the Mead-
were known far and wide as a para
dise in the desert, with an abundance
of grass, crystal streams and ever-flowing
SDrings. To-dav the grass is
gone, the water courses dried, and
nothing but a dreary waste marks
the once beautiful spot." God's curse
is upon it, as it is upon those who mur
dered the innocent emigrants, and the
rude monument upon which is in
scribed, "Vengeance is mine, I will
repay, saith the Lord," is there to
keep green in memory the terrible
scenes enacted by a rapacious priest
hood, the earth, our informant tells
us, is sinking, and the bones which
were gathered up after the massacre,
have thrice been buried, but will out
to tell the damning tale. Settlers in
the vicinity say the country is haunt
en, and the winds bring to their ears
the piercing cries for help, which echo
back to the mountains and over the
plain.
There is a place more destructive
of the manhood of living man than
war is destructive of his material
body. Chains are worse than bayo
nets. Some people talk hours and say
nothing; others there are who, by the
mere lifting of an eyebrow or the
gesture of a band, are comparatively
eloquent.
Sensibility is like the stars; they
can lead only when the sky is clear;
Reason is the magnetic needle which
guides the ship when the stars are
wrapt in darkness.
Whatever difficulties you have to
encounter, be not. nomlovnH Vint.
think only what is right to do in the
sight of Him who seeth all things,
and bear, without ripening, the result.
In the dark we are most apt to be
frightened: the clearer sight we have
of the sovereignty and power of
heaven, the less we shall fear the
calamities of this earth.
CHEMISTRY OF THE FATTENING PRO
CESS. A lean cow or ox is in a very dif
ferent condition, chemically consid
ered, from fat animals of the same
kind. In the first place the poor ani
mal consists of about two thirds
water, the fat one of only half, that
is, in total weight. A fat animal is
in a dry condition, a poor animal is
like some of our bog meadows, very
wet. When the fattening process be
gins, water commences to disappear,
and fat or suet takes it place ; and
the increase in bulk during the pro
cess is largely of adipose matter. It
is a curious circumstance that, during
fattening, the proteids, or nitrogen
ous compounds, increase only about
seven per cent., and the bone mate
rial, or in organic substance, only one
and a halt per cent.
The cost to a farmer of fatteniug
an ox is much greater at the close
of the process than at the commence
ment ; that is, increase in bulk or dry
weight at that period is much more
costly. If it costs three cents a pound
tor bulk for the nrst month atter a
poor animal is put in the fattening
stall, it will cost five cents for the
last month. If, then, a farmer con
sults his money interests, he will not
carry the increase in tat beyond a
certain point, provided he can turn
his partially fatted animals to fair
advantage. Farmers have, perhaps,
learned this tact from experience and
observation, and hence comparatively
lean beef abounds in our markets.
While this is of advantage to the
farmer, it is very disadvantageous to
consumers of the beef, for the flesh of
a fat animal in every case is mnch
richer in fixed, nourishing material
than that of the Jean beef, and it is
never good econemy to purchase lean
beef.- It is better to purshase the
poorest parts of a fat animal than the
best of a lean ona The best piece of
a fat ox (the loin), contains from
twenty-one to twenty-eight per cent.
morehxed material than the corres
ponding piece of a lean one, and cur
iously enough the worst piece in the
lean animal (the neck), is the richest
in nourishing material. The flesh of
the neck improves very little in fat
tening, hence, economy considered, it
is the best portion to purchase, as its
value is in a measure a hxed one.
Horse flesh is as nutritious, consid
ered as a food, as that ot the ox or
cow. The relation of nitrogenous to
fixed material is rather higher in a
horse than in an ox, and the amount
of water is less. There is no good
reason why horse flesh should not be
used as food. It is prejudice alone
which prevents its employment. It
is a regular article of sale in the meat
markets of Paris at the present time.
Journal of Chemistry.
CURRAN'S REPLY TO JUDGE ROBINSON.
At a time when Curran was only
just rising into notice, and while he
was yet a poor and struggling man.
Judge Robinson, it is said, ventured
upon a sneering joke which, small
though it was, but for Curran's ready
wit and scathing eloquence, might
have done him irreparable injury.
Speaking of some opinion of counsel
on the opposite side, Curran said he
had cor Milled all his books, and
could not find a case in which the
principle in dispute was thus estab
lished. "That may be, Mr. Curran,"
sneered the judge, " but I suspect
your law library is rather limited."
Curran eyed the heartless toady for a
moment, and then broke forth with
this noble retaliation : " It is very
true, ray lord, that I am poor, and
this circumstance has certainly rather
curtailed my library. My books are
not numerous, but they are select,
rfhd I hope have been perused with
proper dispositions. I have prepar
ed myself for this high profession
rather by the study of a few good
books than by the composition of a
great many bad ones. I am not
ashamed of my poveity, but I should
be ashamed of my wealth if I could
stoop to acquire it by servility and
corruption. If I rise not to rank I
shall at least be honest; and should
I ever cease to be so, many an exam
ple shows me that an ill-acquired ele
vation, by making me the more con
spicuous, would only make me the
more universally and notoriously
contemptible."
A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT. '
Shortly before his departure for
India, the lamented Heber preached
a sermon, which contained this beau
tiful sentiment :
" Life bears us on like the stream
of a mighty river. Our boat glides
down a the narrow channel through
the plavful murmufJDe of the little
brook, and the winding of its grassy
borders. The trees shed ineir dios-
soms over our young nea me
flowers on the brink seem to Offer
themselves to our young hands ; we
are happy in hope, and grasp eagerly
at the beauties around us but the
stream hurries on, and still our hands
are empty. Our course in yonth and
manhood is along a wilder flood,
amid objects more striking and mag
nificent. We are animated at the
moving pictures of enjoyment and
industry passing us, we aie excited
at home- short-lived disappointment.
The stream bears ns on, and our joys
and griefs are alike left behind us.
We may be shipwrecked, we cannot
be delayed ; whether rough or
smooth, the river hastens to its home
till the roar ot ocean is in our ears,
and the tossing of the waves is be
neath our feet, and the land lessens
from our eyes, and the floods are
lifted aronnd us, and we take our
leave of earth and its inhabitants,
until of our further voyage there is
no witness, save the Infinite and
Eternal."

THE BID FOLKS.
We often reflect that the bentr and
feeble forms of the aged whom we
meet in our daily rounds, once bore
hearts as blithe and gay, arid were
as full of childish foiblesj. as those of
the more youthful-. They have all
passed through the same dream of
happiness,-and the pare romance that
thrilled the heart of the beardless
boy, when love's young dream enrap
tured him, by the soft cheek and lan
guishing glance ot lovely woman
each could tell his tale of school-boy
life, and think the scenes of that era
crowded with more of love and pas
sion, and more of spiritual truth than
any of the tales he had read in atter
life. He could tell of tender lays he
had penned at midnight, oy the light
of a tallow dip." and contrast the
bright days of his youth with those
latter in life, and even praise the
maidens of his generation as being
more fair than modern maids.
When young they had whispers in
a willing ear, kisses npon a blushing
check, and think the kiss and whisper
of that early day fonder than mod
ern lips can now impart. They have
a recollection of passions slighted and
and betrayed, and prospects only
opened to deceive. The eyes that
still are bright and lips that talk of
love, and all the fair forms that we
behold, must, in the natural order of
time, come to this. Ere long, all
that we value on earth will fade from
our sight, and the treasures that we
now so dearly regard must be surren
dered. We are all growing old.
A QUAKER PRINTER'S PROVERBS.
Never send an article for publica
tion without giving the editor thy
name.for thy name oftentimes secures
publication to worthless articles.
Never do thon loaf about, nor
knock down the type, or the boys
will -love thee as they do the shade
trees when thou leavest.
Thou ehouldst never read the copy
on the printer's case or the sharp and
hooked container thereof, or he may
knock thee into pi.
Never enquire of the editor for
news, for behold it is his business to
give it to thee at the appointed time
without asking for it
It is sot right that thon shouldst
ask him who is the author of an arti
cle, for it is his duty tc keep such
things nnto himself.
s, Prefer thine own town paper to
any Other, and subscribe for it immediately.-.
Pay for it in advance, and it shall
be well with thttf and thine.
