Newspaper Page TextWEEKLY W8m GAZETTE. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE STATE OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY Oorvallis, Sept. 12, 1879. W. B. CARTER, THE WESTSIDE RAILROAD. We are not so egotistical as to think the suggestions in last week's Gazette prompted the action of the City Council, last Monday evening ; but if the well-timed suggestions of Hon. F. A. Chenoweth, or any re marks that we may have made, con tributed in this direction, we are highly gratified, as we consider this the first decisive 6tep taken toward the pnoper solution of the unfortu nate railroad muddle in Corvallis, and which has been agitating our citizens for several weeks. The Common Council, on last Mon day evening, took the Westside rail road matter under advisement, nd, after due consideration, appointed a commmitteo of three, consisting of Hon. Judge Burnett, E. B. McElroy and E. Woodward, property holders and prominent citizens, to correspond with Mr. Koehler relative to the selection of route for his railroad through, and depot grounds in, the city of Corvallis, and also to invite him, at his earliest convenience, to meet the Council, in order that some terms may be agreed upon, mutually satisfactory to the railroad manage merit and the citizens ef Corvallis. As previously remarked, we think this is the most important step taken in this matter, and one that should have been taken lone ago. Better late, than never. The publio meet ings held were well enough, as far as they went, but were of no binding force, and not satisfactory to either party, as no definite plans could be reached by these means. The City Council is the only competent body to act in behalf of the city in the premises and make a binding contract with the railroad company. We have no doubt that the whole matter will soon be amicably settled, and Corvallis will, ere long, enjoy the benefits of two railroad depots within her corporate limits. God speed the day. NEW SCHOOL BOOK ORDER. Upon the opening of our public Bchooisjthe exchange of books seemed to threaten a general muddle, all over thcr-siate: in jrauire-rjient ot an order from the teacher, in each indi vidual case of exchange, working a great inconvenience and hardship, and many districts, under this ar rangement, were destined to be cheated out of all benefits from re duction in prices, in exchange. The greatest confusion was iminent. Upon this matter being properly represented to Messrs. Cunningham, Curtiss & Welch, of San Francisco, agents of the publishers of the Iude pendent series, they immediately countermanded that portion of theii previous order requiring teacher's order forexchange, and on last Wedn esday Messrs. Allen & Woodward, (and we presume all other agents in this State) received orders to make exchange of books without requiring teacher's orders, and also to sell books at introductory rates. All districts can now obtain an exchange of books, without being required to open school immediately. This is an important movement, and will be hailed with delight by all per sons interested in our school book question. The gentleman who came in with a box of books, from a neigh boring district, without teacher's or ders, and who failed to get an ex change can now bring his old books and get new ones at exchange rates, without the formality of teacher's orders. This is a move in the right direction. Republican Documents. The Republican Congressional Committee of which Jay A. Hubbell is chairman and Wm. E. Chandler, is secretary, has decided to supply committees, and all other persons with such speeches and documents, as it may from time to time publish, folded and franked for distribution, at very low rates. There is great demand now for information, among the people, and these documents should be circu lated freely. For full particulars and list of documents and prices, address the Secretary, W. E. Chandler, 131? F. street, Northwest, Washing ton, D. C. Now is the time to form correct political opinions relative to the next presidential campaign. The fall term of the Hillsboro public school begins on the 1st Monday in October, with D. M. C. Gault, principal, and Miss Parrish, of Astoria, and Mrs. Kirkwood, of Lafayette, as assistants. CALIFORNIA ELECTION. Amid the political chaos and con fusion of our sister State, the Repub lican party has done nobly, and we are almost tempted to elevate our game " rooster" over the result. But we forbear for the present. Next June, Oregon will likewise redeem herself from misrule and political debauchery, which has well nigh bankrupted the State, and heaped nearly a million dollars of debt upon the tax-payers of the State. It was a similar state of affairs in California that aroused the people to action, brought them to their senses, and caused them to throw off the galling shackles of Democratic trea chery. See dispacthes. It is the same oppressive and over reaching spirit of so-called Democ racy, throughout the Union, that is causing the people in other States to declare against it. The ground swells from Maine proclaim the same result, and the fate of that once no ble and honored, but now rotten and corrupt, party is already written "Weighed in the balances and found wanting." TU6 ASHORE. Ed. Gazette: The tug Katie Cook, 39 tons buiden, Henry H. Fields, master, in crossins Alsea bar, struck, disarranging herrudder, which, coming in contact with the propeller, broke off two flukes of the same, rendering the vessel unmanageable. In this condition, she went on the south sand spits. By letter from the Captain, three days after the disaster, I am informed the chances of getting her off Avith but trifling injury, are good. The Captain was unacquaint ed with the place ; in fact, but little was known of the Alsea until Mr. Habersham's survey was made. There is no doubt but that the Cook was out of the channel, which, at the day and hour she crossed must have had at least eighteen feet of water on the bar, and the Captain, undoubtedly, took what he considered to be the best route and the best water. The vessel is uninsured, and quite new. Suspicious people will please make a note of these two facts ; it may save the odium of jobberj'," so often and so foolishly connected with disasters of this character. In a word, from what I can gather, no one is to blame. A want of chart, or sailing directions, left the Captain only the exercise of judgment, and this he used, fully un derstanding the interests involved. Nor is it against the Alsea bar, as a port. The channel should be buoyed, and beacons established. When this is done, all danger is obviated. The Cook is owned by Capt. L. Parker of Astoria, and others. The Alex. Duncan is due here to day, and she is anxiously looked for. Mr. Habersham expects to proceed to Umpqua by her, the accident at Alsea detaing him and party at this place nearly a week. Rialto. Newport, Sept. 7, 1879. NO UNCERTAIN SOUND. The New .York Republican Con vention, which placed in nomination A. B. Cornell, of New York City, for Governor, promulgates through its platform the principles of the Republican party with all the fervor of former years. The following sec tions, fourth and fifth, of this plat form are samples of the decided and uncompromising tone of the whole: The Republican party neither jus tifies or tolerates military interference with elections. It seeks only to pro tect the ballot box from the interfer ence of force and fraud. It repels the false charges and denounces the false pretenses of conspirators who, while professing free elections every- where,sustain mob law in the South; while inveighing against troops at the polls to protect citizens, refuse to prohibit armed clubs from surround ing the ballot box to intimidate them, and while affecting that the soldier's bayonet will overawe free elections, remain silent while the assassin's bul let seals the fate of the public inde pendent politician. We call upon the people to remem ber that the Democratic party forced an extra session of Congress without warrant or excuse; that it prosecuted its partisan.purposes by revolutionary methods; that it has persistently ob structed resumption and constantly presses disturbing measures; that it re-opens sectional questions closed by a national triumph and threatens to repeal war legislation ; that its southern element answers conciliaton only with violence; that its hope of success rests alone on a solid South, ar.d that its triumph would make the solid South the ruling force of the nation. We recognize that the great body ot people who defended the Union, of whatever party name, are equally patriotic and equally inter ested in good government, and we earnestly invoke them in resisting the dangerous designs of a party organ ization under sway of those who were latel" in rebellion, and seek to regain in the halls of legislation what they lost on the field of battle. We are nleaed to learn that J. M. Turn. ner, Esq. of the Jacksonville Sentinel, has fully recovered his eyesight, and soon will resume editorial charge of that paper. PUBLISHING ESTRAYS. We are frequently written as to the law relative to publishing estray notices. We uniformity reply by stating that we are no lawyer, but find the following relative to this subject on page 590 of the General Laws of Oregon, usually called Dea dy's Code. The law, after speaking of the manner of taking up and posting estrays, making appraisements, fcc., says: Chap. XVIIL, Title I, Sec. 6 : "If the amount of such appraisement shall exceed fifteen dollars, the person taking up such estrays shall be further required to cause to be published, in the newspaper published by the state printer, which shall be kept on file in the clerk's office of each county of this state, a description of the same, giving marks as above specified, the name and res idence of the finder, and as near as may be, the time at which the estray was taken up. It was the custom of our predeces sor, Gen. M. V. Brown, while State Printer, to publish estray notices one time, charging therefor $1 50 for each animal. We make the same charge, except when there are two or more animals included in one notice ; in that event we charge 50 cents for each additional animal. The money, in all cases, should accompany the notice either money order or postal stamps. We send the Gazette, gratis, to every County Clerk in the State, so that it may be kept on file as a matter of reference. AN EXAMPLE. The Bee hereby informs the Enter prise that it knows all about the ero- nlovment of Chinese labor in ou factories, and that pernicious and deplorable as is this fact it is yet bet ter than to import entirely our wool en goods from foreign looms. The establishment of the Oregon City Woolen Mills would have been im possible without proiective tariff, and while the managers of the same have employed, and still employ Chinese labor to some extent, they have yet opened up an avenue of industry to many white laborers that has proved a great blessing. Not only men, but women, boys and girls for years have found remunerative employment in these mills ; in some cases the family purse being replenished by $5 and $6 daily, and the funds expended in feeeding, clothing and educating the younger children and rendering home comfortable. This, protection has done, and not indirectly, for labor by making the establishment ot this in dustry possible. The establishment and successful operation ot these mills is but one sample of thousands of the enterprises rendered possible by protection. Portland JtSee. WHITE AFRICANS. Maior finto, the 1'ortuguese ex plorer, who has just crossed Africa, from Benguella southwestward to Natal, describes a race of white men found by him near the headquarters ot the Zambezi. He says : "I one day noticed that one of the carriers was a white man. He be longed to a race entirely unknown up to the present day. A great white people exist in South Africa. Their name is Cassequer; they are whiter than the Caucasians, and in place of hair have their heads covered with small tufts of very short wool. Their cheek bones are prominent, their eyes like those of a Chinese. The men are extremely robust When they dis charge an arrow at an elephant the shaft is completely buried in the ani mal's body. They live on roots and the chase, and it is only when these supplies fail them that they hold any paIqI inn. txritK ta n ul cr Krri n cr nta the Ambuelas, from whom they ob tain food in exchange for ivory. The Cassequeres are an entirely nomadic race, and never sleep two nights in the same encampment. They are the only people in Africa that do not cook their food in pots. They wander about, in groups of from four to six families, over all the territory lying between the Cuchi and the Cubango. It would seem that from a crossing of the Oassequeres with the negroes of other races sprang those mulattoes of ot the south, whom the English call Bushmen. The latter are, however, better off than the Cassequeres, and use pots in cooking their food, while their dispositions are good, though buite opposed to civilization." PACIFIC COAST. Oregon. EADS' ISTHMUS TRANSIT. Captain Ivies' scheme of carrying steamers across the isthmus of Dari en on baggage cars meets with sharp criticism and ridicule wherever it is examined. Says the New York Times : His plan really looks feasible in many respects, but he forgets that the reputation of the men who han dle baggage on American railways is such that no ship-owner will consent to trust his vessel in their hands. We know what would happen to a a British steamer that might incau tiously be sent over Mr. Eads' rail way. The expressmen, after check ing the steamer, would drag her over the platform, damaging her against every available object, and would fi nally throw her into the baggage car, where they wonld crash her deck in by piling heavy tea ships upon her. On arrival at Panamahe unfortunate British steamer jflHfepitched out on the pi atformrPMMKr unhappy captain wouRt find her with a dozen holes stove in her hull, and with masts and funnel completely carried away. Of course, if be had put a nice leather strap around her to keep her together, it would have disappear ed during the journey. Ex-Senator Mitchel has gone to SanFran cisco. The State Uriversity at Eugene City will open on the 15th inst. J. Henry Brown of Salem, has unearthed a skeleton of an Indian. Lake Labash, Marion county is supposed to contain the bones of many wild annimals. The house and barn of Mr. Jno. Daily, of Nehalem, were consumed by fire last week. Loss, about $100. The railroad company has put up a real nice depot building at Shedd's station, the size being 26x40. Independence will have a grand jollifica tion upon the completion of the west side road to that place. John F. Miller will remove his large house at Salem to his farm three miles from the city. A big job. Mr. Gould's house, at Forest Grove, with its contents, was burned last week. Loss, $2000 ; insurance, $1500. It is said that the Indians on Tfez Fercos reservation have harvested 40,000 bushels of grain. Harvey Henderson and his party threshed over 600 bushels in six hours with a 24-inch machine, in South Yamhill last week. A man whose name is not reported fierce ly assaulted a boy named Grant McGuire in Yamhill county, last weak, with a pitchfork terribly lacerating his scalp. The number of children in Whitman coun ty between four and twenty -one years of age, reported by the district clerk, is 1,437. The excess over the enumeration 1878 is 137. The Umatilla House at the Dalles is pro gressing rapidly. The first coat of plaster has been given to the third story walls. The Empire Hotel is receiving the roof, and the building is getting along very well. It is ex pected to be finished by the 15th of next month. Lebanon, Linn county, has improved great iy during the year. New buildings have sprung up, new streets laid out, sidewalks extended, and a general appearance of thrift and activity prevades the handsome little city. jjK On Friday last Mrs. Alice Hoover became suaaemy sicit wiiuu conversing wilji a com pany of friends, and died in a few minutes. A post mortem examination developed the fact that death was caused by the rupture of a blood vessel. B. Catching, living near Forest Grove has invented a saw which turns out from 1000 to 1500 staves per day. Referring to this the Hillsboro Independent boats that Washington county has invented and patented more useful articles than any other county in the state. From Yamhill : Farmers have been anx ious about their wheat, but prospects are very favorable for harvesting all the grain in good order. The yield of fall grain is aver age ; spring grain is not injured with rust so much as farther up the valley. The yield of oats will be larger per acre than usual. Mr. L L. Whitcomb, who resides on Ev an's ranch on the Columbia, informs the Mountaineer that a porcupine entered his house on last Sunday evening and took pos session. After the family had recovered from the fright he was captured. From McMinn ville : All is activity at the warehouses. Wheat is beginning to pour in lively. Newby's cleaning machine wasstart ed yesterday and worked nicely. Stout and Martin also have put in a cleaner which will be run by horse power. We learn from the Roseburg Independent of the 6th inst. , that a disgraceful riot oc cured at Myrtle Creek on the previous Sab bath, in which one Smith, a saloon keeper, was the principal actor, defied law and out raged decency. He has been arrested, how ever. Mr, Grimes, the contractor on the mail route from Astoria to Tillmook, authorizes the Astorian to say that any postmaster on that route has authority to dismiss any car rier he may employ if found drunk, and em ploy another one in his place. It would be well for other contractors to follow this ex ample. Amitv correspondence : People are begin ning to think that if the O. C. R. R. can car ry wheat from McMinnville for $2 per ton they can carry from Amity for less than $2 40, and are now asking what the narrow gauge will charge, and rumor is that the lat ter will take it for $2 25 and pick it up on any man's farm slong the track. Albany Democrat : According to Treasur er Mealey's report rendered in July there should be about $700 in the city treasury, and consequently considerable excitement was caused when it was discovered that city orders could not be paid. The facts of the case are simply these : The treasurer has used the public funds for private purposes, and either his bondsmen or his friends will have to make the city good in the sum of !$682 83. Eugene Guard: On last Monday night, about 10 o'clock, as Mr. David Blanton, who lives south of town, was returning home on horseback, he was robbed of coin amounting to about $3zU. -tie had hardly left the city limits when two men rose up from under a bridge, and as one grabbed the reins the oth er threw a quantity of sand in his face almost blinding him. lhey then struck him on the head with a billet of wood and pulled him from his horse to the ground and accomplish ed the robbery. No clue has as yet been ob tained as the perpetrators of the deed. The Eugene City Guard of the 6th instant gives the following report of the harvest in Lane county : The harvesting has progressed to such an extent that some conclusions as regards the yield of grain can be drawn. From the best information at hand we be lieve a two-third crop has been harvested. The fall wheat is up to the average as to yield, but we hear some complaint about some of it being shriveled. Spring wheat has produced over a one third yield, but very little is merchantable. A number of fields of spring wheat will not be cut, the farmers having turned their stock into them; while others have cut only because they own ed the machinery and could cut it at very little expense, making a cheap feed. Last Tuesday evening 2nd inst the annual election of Linn Engine Co. No. 2, of Albany occurred, and following is a list of the new officers : Foreman, Eugene Buchanan ; 1st as sistant, George Hochstedtler ; foreman of the hose, William H. Huston ; president, P. H. Raymond; secretary, George E. Cham berlain ; treasurer, George W. Sill. Nearly all the old officers were re-elected, and all would have been if they had not declined to serve. The retiring secretary reports the membership of the company at the present time to be 62 ; expelled during the year, 14; resigned, 7 ; died, 1 ; members taken in, 15; members married during the year, 9. Vindicated. Inasmuch as there have been some affidavits made and rumors circu lated derogatory to the character of the ed itor, Rev. V. S. Walker, the quarterly con ference of the TJ. B. church appointed Mr. A. Whealdon, Rev. Isaac Belknap and Rev. A. Bennet to investigate all charges against said editor, render their decision, and report at the following conference. They have now their testimony and report in lull in writing prepared for the conference ; and were they not so lengthy we would insert them both. The committee have vindicated the editor of all charges preferred aginst him ; and their documents cast some dark shadows upon the design of the authors of the affidavits and rumors circulated. Aa the editor is gone we will make no comments. Those wishing further information can have it by oxamin the testimony and references now in the hands of Rev. A. Bennet, Philomath, Oregon. Philomath Crucible, Aug. 2a TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY. San Francisco, Sept. 6. City returns up to 11 o'clock this morning, give Perkins. 17,102; White, 16,650; Glenn, 3,581; Flint, 17,646 ; Kalloch, 18,453 ; Griswold, 772; Rhodes, 16,689 ; Morrison, 19,284 ; Bennett, 1,404. Last revised returns give Perkins, 17,539; White, 17,654; Glenn, 3,736; Flint, 17, 877; Kalloch, 19,547; Griswold, 829; Rhodes, 17,078; Morrison, 19,915; Ben nett, 1,456. San Francisco, Sept 6. About fifteen hundrerd ballots remain to be counted in the city, and the canvass will probably be completed before morning. Kalloch now has 1,432 majority over Flint and is elected. The workingmen have also elected the sher iff, auditor, district attorney, city and ooun- tv attorney, tax collector, public adminis trator and surveyor. The republicans elect the assessor, coroner and superintendent of schools. The offices of treasurer, recorder, county clerk, superintendent of streets and police judge are still in doubt with chances in favor of the workingmen's candidates. The superior judges will probably be about equally divided. The republicans are likely to elect four out of five justices and their ticket of supervisors is believed to be suc cessful with perhaps two or three exceptions; also five of their candidates for school di rectors. The workingmen have probably elected three or four. Beerstecher and Stoneman, workingmen, and Cone, republi can, are elected railroad commissioners. There seems to be no doubt that the repub licans have elected all four congressmen. The legislature is still undecided, but if the republic n-i have not a majority they will in all probability be able to control both houses. The result on the state ticket re mains as heretofore reported, though it is not quite certain how the supreme court may stand. Napa, Sept. 6. The Napa City vote com plete gives Perkins, 513; White, 338; Glenn, 302. Los Angeles City complete gives Perkins, 697 ; White, 842 ; Glenn, 709.

The republicans elect the assessor, recorder, coroner, county clerk, superin tendent of schools, superintendent of streets, eleven supervisors, seven members of the board of education and a member of the state board of equalization ; and re-elect Congressman Davis. The superior judges elected are mostly on the ticket of all parties. Some of the officers are elected by majori ties so small that it is possible that the of ficial count may result in some changes.

RAILROADS IN IOWA. The Cedar Rapids Republican, of recent date, has the following relative to railroads in that State : Those who take anv note of cur rent events, as reported in the news papers ot lowa, cannot tail to see tne wonderf nl impetus that has been giv en of late to railroad building and ex tension in our State. The new lines,, branches and extensions, that have been projected and partly completed this year in Iowa will aggregate about five hundred miles. There are now but four or five counties in the State that are not touched or crossed by a railroad. Within a few years, at the present rate of progress, our glorious commonwealth will be cov ered by a net work ot roads, that will throb and pulsate like the veins and arteries of a healthy body. What has o-iven this imnetus to railroad en terprise? Evidently the revival of traae and general prosperity nas naa verv much to do with the renewal of antivitv in this direction. Bat. in . . our opinion, the repeal oi tne tann law, and the manifestation oi a more liberal miblic Dolicv towards railroads generally, has contributed very large ly to this gratifying result. TheConsreeational church at Forest Grove has given Rev. Mr. Vandersal, who recently withdrew from the M. E. church, $600 and agree to raise him $150 more as a salary for one year.

THE BEST REMEDY FOB Diseases of the Throat ana Lungs. mi m i i inrr nra Diseases of the pulmo nary organs are so prev alent and fatal, that a safe and reliable remedy for them is invaluable to every community. Ayek's Cherry Pec touau is such a remedy, and no other so emi nently merits the confi dence of the public. It is a scientific combina tion of the medicinal principles and curative virtues of the finest drugs, chemically unit- fced, to insure the great- CtV aVfHnte aDU ufluutmll'o' ol re sults, which enables physicians as well as invalids to use it with confidence. It is the most reliable remedy for diseases of the throat and lungs that sci ence has produced. It strikes at the foun dation of all pulmonary diseases, affording prompt and certain relief, and is adapted to patients of any age or either sex. Being very palatable, the youngest children take ft without difficulty. In the treatment ol ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat. Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, and Ca tarrh, the effects of Ayer's Cherry Pec tor at, are magical, and multitudes are an nually preserved from serious illness by its timely and faithful use. It should be kept at hand in every household, for the pro tection it affords in sudden attacks. In Whooping-cough and Consumption there is no other remedy so efficacious,, soothing, and helpful. The marvellous cures which Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has effected all over the world are a sufficient guaranty that it will continue to produce the best results. An impartial trial will convince the most scepti cal of its wonderful curative powers, as well as of its superiority over all other prepara tions for pulmonary complaints. Eminent physicians in all parts of the country, knowing its composition, recom mend Ayer's Cherry Pectoral to invalids, and prescribe it in theiT practice. The test of half a century has proved its absolute certainty to cure all pulmonary complaints not already beyond the reach of human aid . Prepared by Or. J. C.
