Ed. Corvallis Gazette : When he and
I visited your city last April, and yonr citi
zens were electrified with the eloquent tem
perance speeches which he delivered there
and I so sick, at the time, that I could not
attend his lectures, little did I think that I
should now speak of him as gone to the
silent tomb, while I am in fair health. In
due time an obituary will appear, giving
some of the outlines of the life of this most
gifted and talented Scotchman, who is
gone from our midst. It was owing to a
letter of mine, sent to him last spring at
Oakland, CaL, that he came to Salem last
April, to aid here in the temperance work.
About the 18th of that month, as we were
roomed together in his favorite room in the
Chemeketa Hotel in Salem the same one
which he so long occupied when editing the
Oregon Statesman he stated that just two
months ago, that day, he had emerged from
a long night of mental and bodily disease in
Oakland, and telt that he was a redeemed
man. He said that he was fully able to
stand by the power of his own will. I told
him that the will power sometimes was too
weak to contend successfully against the
power of a raging appetite. But he seemed
self confident that he should hold out faith
fully to the end of his life. Alas ! how lit
tle did he know of himself. I perceived
that he had an intense gnawing in his stom
ach for strong stimulants. Over one pound
of the very strongest tobacco, weekly, in
smoking, and nine cups of strong coffee
daily seemed to be required to appease his
craving diseases for stimulation, instead of
brandy. He depended not on God for help
and strength to battle with that chronic
appetite for strong drink. That raging de
sire overcome his will power, and he fell in
the temperance lecture field. The struggles
of his mind ; the sore temptations to in
dulge again in the use of strong drink were
known to him alone. A bright light in the
literary world is blown out. " Whisky has
conquered him, as it will others." This
dreadful downfall of a temperance lecturer
is no stigma to the temperance cause. It
proves the power of a long continued use of
alchohol seated in the stomJeh to overcome
the greatest of men. D. Newsome.
Salem, Sept. 6, 1879. .
Passed Through. K. A. Habersham,
U. S. Ass't engineer, and party, passed
through this city last Tuesday, en route for
the mouth of the Umpqua, for the purpose
of making a survey of that bar and harbor.
Mr. H. has been, unavoidably, detained for
considerable time, at Newport, siuce com
pleting the survey of Alsea bar. The deten
tion of the Alex. Duncan and accident to
the tug, caused his delay. He will go by
rail from Albany to Drain, from thence to
Scottsburg by private conveyance. From
the latest advices, before leaving the bay,
Mr. H. thinks the tug, Katie Cook, will be
able to get off the sands at Alsea withot se
rious loss. He met Capt. Parker, one of
her owners, who has been engaged in rescu
ing the City of Dublin, at the mouth of the
Columbia, going to her assistance. In the
matter of rescuing vessels from perilous
positions, we presume Capt. Parker has
few, if any, superiors on this coast.
Works of Necessity. We are not in
favor of Sunday work, generally, and
strongly favor the execution of the Sunday
law upon our statute books. But when a
case occurs, like last Sunday, with large
fields of wheat exposed to damage and
threatening rain, we think it is quite right,
if not a positive Christian duty, to save it,
even though it sholud require the din of the
header and thresher. Thousands of bushels
of grain were saved in Oregon, last Sab
bath, which might have been greatly dam
aged, if not altogether destroyed, if permit
ted to have remained in the field, especially
as it rained on Monday and Tuesday, fol
lowed by heavy fogs on the following days.
Harvest is already some two weeks behind
in this part of the valley, and it stands the
farmers in hand to save every bushel of
grain they can. Ordinarily, we think work
on Sunday, even in harvest, entirely unnec
essary, but we cannot think it right, accord
ing to Scripture teaching, to leave the ox in
the ditch, or the grain exposed to storm, on
Sunday.
1 Annual Address. President B. F. Ar
nold, of the State Agricultural College has
' been elected to deliver the annual address
before the State Agricultural Society dur
ing the Fair week, at Salem. This is a good
selection, and President Arnold will deliver
a most able and practical address on that
occasion. We are pleased, to note this man
ifestation of good feeling between the man
agers of the State Agricultural Saciety and
the State Agricultural College. It augurs
well for the future of both institutions.
We hope that the farmers of Benton
county will manifest their interest in the
success of agriculture, in all parts of the
State by a good attendance, at the Fair.
Their presence will encourage those who are
already working, so faithfully, to promote
the interests of the farmer.

following persons, says the Salem Statesman,

sell them cheap ? Because they say they
will, and if any one does not believe it, all
they need do is to call and see for them
selves.
FROM SOAP CREEK-
Ed. Gazette : Seeing nothing from Soap
Creek in the Gazette, lately, I thought a
few lines might not be amiss. The farmers
are all very busy some few are through
threshing. The fall grain yields very well,
but spring grain is very poor, probably not
more than half crop. Some farmers are not
cutting their spring sown grain.
We have heard of some trouble among
threshing crowds, resulting in black eyes and
scratched noses. A little fracas took place
here on the 7th, but I will call no names.
Some hard words passed, and a chair was
raised, but the party did not have the sand
to use it. The other party clinched and
choked him, when he hollered manfully,
and told his wife to bring him the shot gun
which she did not do. No great harm
done both. I believe, are ready for their
hash. Soap Creeker.
September 8, 1879.

rion and Dayton Elliott, of this city, expect

egon boys always make their mark abroad,
and these boys, we predict, will not form an
exception. They expect to be absent about
two years. We wish them a pleasent trip
and safe return.
j Died Alone. For some time past an
old sinch manufacturer known as "Chillian
Joe," has resided, or rather staid, at an
old cabin on the John Stewart place, about
one mile below town. He was found dead,
by a neighbor, recently, and Squire Johnson
was notified and held an inquest on the body.
Verdict, death from natural causes. He
was probably about 60 years of age. Had
no effects, and was buried by the county.
But little is known of his history, although
some are inclined to believe that he has
means buried somewhere.
Sad Affair. The Oregonian of the 8th
inst., in speaking of the drunken row at
Myrtle Creek, of which mention is made in
another column, says :
""The death of Mr. Edmund Bnick, of
Myrtle creek, which was announced in the
Oregonian a few days ago, was the result of
remarkable and distressing circumstances.
His father and brother in attempting to
quiet a party of drunken men who were en
gaged near their home in a general row,
were assaulted and violently beaten, and
the shock to the deceased who was in feeble
health and unable to act in their defense,
produced hemorrhage from which he died.
Musical Instruction. On and after
September 10th, Mrs. F. M Johnson will
be prepared to give instructions on the
piano and organ. Special attention given
to vocal music. Residence, corner of third
and Van Buren streets.
Corvallis, Ang. 27, 1879. 4w
Temperance Rally. There will be a
grand temperance rally at Grange Hall, on
Muddy, on Sunday, 21st inst., at 3 o'clock,
p. m. Adresses by President B. L. Arnold,
and others. Everybody cordially invited
to be present.
A Supposed Murderer Caught. On
Tuesday a letter was received by the sheriff,
says the Albany Register, stating that one
of the supposed parties engaged in the mur
der of Mrs. Hager, near Oregon City a few
months since, named Knssell Bennett, was
in this county somewhere. Deputy Sheriff
George Humphrey went to work in the mat
ter with such energy that before night he
had arrested his man .Bennett, and had him
safely housed in the county jail. Bennett
was found at work In a held near Mr. J as.
Finlayson's, and submitted quietly to the
arrest. He asserts that the other two par
ties engaged in the murder did propose the
murder to him, but he absjffctely refused,
and had no hand in the rawder. As his
character is not the best in the world, his
mere assertion may not clear him of the
suspicion hanging over him.
Confessed his Crime. It is said that
Jackson Grant, who entered a plea of guilty
in the state circuit court to the indictment
of murder in the first degree, and who was
sentenced to the penitentiary by Judge Bel
linger for the period of his natural life, is
rapidly recovering. When he was taken to
the penitentiary he could scarcely stand with
out assistance, and it was the general opin
ion that Grant would not live a month. Pris
on diet and air seem to have wrought a ben
eficial effect and he is regaining his wonted
health. Since his incarceration Grant is re
ported to have made a confession. He ad
mits that he murdered Dennis Spellen for
money. The only discrepancy between
Grant's confession and the evidence of the
colored man, Smith, and his wife, who were
the principal witnesses in the case, is : Smith
and his wife both testified that Grant con
fessed to the murder of Spellen at their house,
and Grant declars that he never made such
a confession in Smith's house, but told him
of it down on"the streets. In all other re
jects the confession agrees with the evidence
given by Smith and his wife. Oregonian.
The Salem Statesman of a late date, de
nies that Grant has made any confession.
