We notice that our correspondent Jl in our issue of the 26th, takes up to task for our statement in favor of Protection in our issue of the 19th. R gays: " I was not a little chagrin ed at the levity, or at least the care less manner in stating the position of the two parties, for both are misrep resented." "Levity" is pretty good now, isn't it. What two parlies pray does R reler to? In our editorial we did not discuss the subject of pro tection, as a party measure at all We distinctly stated that it was above party ; that it was national. We did not attempt to discuss it from a paity stand point, for we are perfect ly aware that neither of the great parties asking the suffrage of the people are united on this great and national subject. There are promi nent politicians in both of, and, in fact, all the parties who favor high protective tariff and others who are equally zealous in advocating free trade there is no such party as s free trade party in America to-day. But those who hold to the doctrine of free trade are made up of individ ual members of all parties. But does K attempt to set us right in regard the position of the " two parties," which he says we "misrepresent?" Not one syllable does he write defin ing the "position of the two parties'' or correcting us for mistating their position. Of course he could not, for we had not attempted to make out the policy of any party. We fail to see that R has proved anything or helped the cause of the free trader whose cause he seems to have cham pioned, by making the assertion re ferred to above. Not one of the propositions we advanced in our editorial of the 19th, does R refute but says the " reason for the question being agitated at this time, is on ac count of vast improvements which are now beginning all over the State," which we presume is correct. But R seems to doubt our self respect and patriotism, for he says " When a person undertakes to instruct, or to lead a community, to deal with a question of so much importance as liKrwTtttr selected, personal self re spect, if nOV national patriotism, would dictate nothing less than a manly and an intelligent "Trdfttoe&t of the same." We had fully hoped that our course had been such as to retain our self respect and no one ever before doubted our patriotism, to our knowledge. R says, " TLe Fiee Trader does not plead for non revenue for governmental purposes." We did not say they did ; but on the other hand stated that the most vio lent Free Trader was in favor of a tariff sufficient to meet the expenses of the government. And in the same eonnection, we said that all the revenue received from tariff fell far short of furnishing the means of op erating the government ; and we reaffirm the same. Neither does the tariff work a hardship iu the case R speaks of, by building up private interests at public expense, for the tariff has no more to do with this particular case than the law of Prim ogeniture of England. Now R, you are no doubt, astonished at our lack of self respect again but listen. You indirectly refer to the building the Northern Pacific railroad, when you say rails can be purchased of Eastern manufactures at $2 or $3 per ton less than they can be bought in England and laid down at Portland for, with the tariff added. And that this company ought to be allowed to purchase of England, who has offered to furnish for the whole road at $28 per ton laid down in Portland. Now we lay down this proposition, that if the tariff was entirely abolished, the Northern Pacific, road could not save a penny in the purchase of their iron. Why? Because when Congress pass ed the act incorporating the North ern Pacific and giving to the said road an immense laud grant it was made one oi tne conditions ana in serted in the bill, that all the iron for the equipment of said road should be purchased of American manufactur ers. The company'saw fit to organ ize under the act, and have built from Duluth to the Missouri river in Da kota'n, at Bismarck, and are complet ing 200 miles more on this side of the Missouri river and the company have also put under construction 200 miles of the western end of said road beginning at Snake river, in Wash ington Territory, and extending east by way of Spokane falls to Pen D'Oreille lake, and not a word has ever been uttered by the company in complaint, because they are compell ed to buy American iron. But a few of the free traders of this State have taken up the matter of oppression to this company and have discussed it at great length, until quite recently, having discovered, we suppose, that the tariff could not affect this road in any way, have weakened wonder fully, and have entirely dropped the Northern Pacific out of their cate gory of complaints. " The falsity of the position of the protectionists may be seen in this case, if it can be seen at all." Now, as we have shown above, the tarift does not cut any figure in this case at all ; thus, by your own admis sion, it can not be seen at all. But R seems to think that the State of Oregon is an exception and is uncom monly hard dealt with by the pro tection of the tariff, because Oregon wheat must find a market in Europe, and come in competition with Russian w heat, raised at a cost of 15 cents per bushel. Oregon wheat generally averages one dollar per bushel to the producer, while Ne braska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Min nesota and Dakotah wheat does not yield the producer, on an average, of over 75 cents per bushel ; and yet they have a demand for all they can raise and are getting along nice ly, making money, and contending with grasshoppers besides. There is ! at least 25 cents a bushel in favor of the Oregon Wheat raiser over his eastern n. ighbor, above alluded to; ; and yet you do not hear the farmers j in those States groaning about the i tariff while their wheat goes to the , same market that Oregon wheat does; and we cannc t see why Oregon farm ers should complain. But here as in every commuuity, there are those who think, or seem to, that our government is very corrupt, rotten, oppressive and ineffecient. Yet no people ever had rich great liberty, such adequate protection, such glorious advantages, such sublime prospects. And com munism, which R so much fears, never did get a foothold in any Re public and can no more flourish under the benign influences of our free in stitutioiis, than ignorance and superstition. CALIFORNIA LETTER, Editob Cokvallis Gazette: Since I last wrote you, I have traveled over more than half of California. There are 58 counties in this State. I have been right square in the middle of thirty-two of them and can say, with out fear of contradiction, that they will not compare with Oregon, in any respect. I have often heard Oregon- ian's complain at the management of Oregon Slate Fairs ; but if they will attend one in SacrameDto they will never have anything to say against an Oregon State Fair. In the first place, you have to buy a six day ticket, cost $5 00. Every time you go to the " Agricultural boss trots,' and you get a seat there, it costs you $1 00 per day. Six and five are ! eleven. Eleven dollars for tickets or admissions, and one dollar for a bed ; 50 cents for meals. I presume, if you would sleep on a soft plank on the side walk they would charge you 75 cents. You cannot tell who are on the committees. It is kept a pro found secret to all exhibitors; but, notwithstanding all the above, the Plummer Fruit Drier carried away the graud gold medal of California over all competition. So you see that Oregon is no slouch, after all. There were four county or District Fairs last week, namely: Stockton, Vallajo, Placerville, and for the notlhern part of California, Marys ville. The Agricultural hoss trot was the big attraction there, as at Sacramento. Marysville is a well built town, laying between Yuba and Feather rivers. The miners have nearly covered it up with debris or "slickins" (the miner's phrase). They have three nice steam fire engines. They had a first-class fire while I was there and, owing to the superhuman efforts of her brave fire boys, they saved both lots. Scarcity of water was the trouble. I left Sacramento on Saturday morning and got to San Francisco in time for the Grant jubilee. A grand affair, I tell you. I saw Grant, but there was so many people there I do not think he recognized me at all. People here will give him a grand blow out Thursday. He will then go to Yosemite valley from here and return, and go to Oregon. Well, Grant is a good fellow. I shouldn't wonder if he Is President sometime. CALVra B. MCDONALD. I had seen his obituary in the Ore gon papers, and supposed be w dead and out of the scrape. He w the first man that I clasped hands with, when I landed here. He is not dead he says he is not, and I be lieve him. He says he did not die of delerium tremens; has not been drunk. He thinks the Oregonian has done him great injustice. I do not know where they got their information, but hope they will satisfy Mac that they intended no wrong to him. Yours &c. C. Oakland, Sept. 23, 1879. PRESIDENT HAYES ON "HARD MONEY." The following dispatch to the Oregonian, dated Cincinnati, Sept. 11th, gives some very plain aud sen sible talk from the President. Presi dent Hayes, Gens. Sherman and Sheridan, and Attorney General Dev ens, visited the chamber of commerce his noon, escorted by a reception committee. The president of the chamber welcomed the president and party in n short speech. In response, President Hayes said : Friends : I am very glad to meet this large assemblage of business men of Cincin nati. In the position which I hold it has been my desire to try to do something to bring it about that the government should be administered upon business principles and by business methods. I can see plain ly, as you do, and as all my friendly and unfriendly critics, my short coinings and failures, and perhaps I see them more clear ly than others do, but my steady purpose has been to go forward in the right direc tion. Though the movement has been slow, still I can sav to mv friends in Cincinnati, I have .lonestly tried to keep my face in the right direction. One year ago I took a trip in the north-western states. This month I propose to do a little visiting for recreation anil health in the western states. A year ago I found people gloomy and despondent. There were few who were hopeful, and very few who were confident of speedy coming better times. It seemed to me last year that under these circumstances the most good could be done by saying cheering, en couraging and hopeful things ; that what ever differences of opinion there might be as to legislation looking to the resumption of specie payment, the wise thing, as we were situated, was to let well enough alone. It seemed to be wise to stop legislating ai;d quit tampering with currency ; to let the business of yesterday have a fair chance with the great resources which the country pos sesses, and that with their boundless ener gy, American business men could work out their own salvation. Fortunately the coun try accepted that general view. Specie payments have come and good times are coming with them. Coming west again, what is the thing to be siid to-day. It seems to me that a dose of the same medi cine which brought better times should be given to prolong better times, and to put as far away as possible the inevitable period when hard times come again. A prominent English writer on English economy says there is a regular periodicity in the recur rence of hard times ; that in England they return in about 10 year, and in this coun try once in about 20 years. The desirable thing is to keep good times as long as possi ble, and when under these inevitable laws hard times must come, to have calamity bear as lightly upon us as possible. To tins end it seems to me the very plain and wise maxims of Dr. Franklin should be applied. Where debts are least and where they are the least spread and where there is the least over-production, there they will feel hard times the least. I think that this has been exemplified in the history of Cincinnati in the last four years' depression. While every city in the country has suffered more or less, and some of them vary severely, Cincin nati, with its steady-going business men, has felt it iess than any other city in the country. Let us so far as may be, in public and in private affairs, be diligent to see to it that when hard times do come we are not weighted by debts. I think you for your kind reception. HOMES FOR IMMIGRANTS. The upper Alsea valley in Benton county is fifteen miles long by one and a half to five mites wide, exceedingly fertile, well watered and producing excellent crops ; has a popu lation of several hundred. The nearest market for this valley is, or has been Corval lis, thirty-five miles distant, over a very rough mountain road. A route that becomes impassible for loaded wagons after the first heavy fall rains. This valley has a natural outlet in Alsea bay aud river. For several years the people have been asking for a sur vey of the bar, with a view to finding a mar ket for their produce by water. Thanks to Hon. J. H. Mitchell, who never turned a deaf ear to the petitions of any locality, the survey of Alsea bay has just been com pleted by United States Assistant Engineer R. A. Habersham, and enough is known to assert the probability of early steatjjjPon) munication to Alsea. A road from upper Alsea valley to tide-water, on Alsea river, will be pushed to completion. This will be the important step to open trade, establish a market and invite immigration, with or without capital. The south side of the river, more recently the Alsea Indian reser vation, has been surveyed the past summer, and claims are being rapidly taken the whole length of the Alsea river from its mouth to the upper valley, together with the tributa ries of Fa'l creek. Lobster and Five rivers, all of which offer fine opportunities for peo ple seeking homes. At present the proper route is by steamer Alex. Duncan to Yaqui na, thence by the beach to Alsea bay, twelve miles. Aside from agricultural lands there is no finer timber district unoccupied in the state. The mountains abound in game, elk, bear and deer. The river and bay has a large run of salmon, besides flounders, perch and herring. There are also crabs and clams in abundance. It really seems a pity that a country with such a wealth of good things within the reach of any person, possessing a moderate supply of energy, should have remained so long undeveloped but the " good tune," so anxiously looked for by the pioneers, is near at hand. The event may be hastened through Mr. Hume's enterprise and many persons find homes in Oregon's favored clime. Astorian, 12th inst. Forest fi?es have been raging for ten days in the mountains near Lakeview. The Aahland Academy issues a neat little paper called the Col ege Ceroma. It is rumored that the fare on the West Side is fixed at $3. 50 from Amity to Portland. Two or three fine fields of sweet potato.- s have been raised this season in southern Oregon. The fishing season is just opening along the coast. R. D. Hume, of Rogue River,, begins operation with 150 salmon a day, and a 40-lb salmon sells at Suislaw for twenty-five cents. ft A Dangerous Leap. A corres pondent telegraphs from Birmingham that ureat excitement was caused at the Horse and Hound Show yester day afternoon during the jumping contest over timber and water. Mr. Robert Leaman's hunter Surfey, after clearing the water jump splendidly, was so excited that he jumped the bar of the ring, clearing five rows of ptctatora. 1 he distance was meas red and proved to be 37ft. The rider, Mr. Henry Grayson, Btuck to pigskin, and no one was hurt. Lon don Times. PIKE'S PEAK SIGNAL STATION. About six years ago, the U. S. sig nal service station was established on the summit of Pike's Peak, 14,336 feet above the level of the sea. It is the highest, and is now considered one of the most important stations on the globe, especially for the study of astronomy and meteorology. The rarity of the atmosphere at this high altitude gives a remarkably brilliancy to the stars and all the heavenly bod ies. Oh the highest point of the sum mit stands the signal station, a one story building, 24 by 30 feet, con tabling four rooms officers room, kitchen, store room and wood room. The station is now in charge of offi cers Sweeney, Choate and Blake. Usually two officers are at the sta tion on the summit, and one here to receive the reports per telegraph and transmit them to the department at Washington. Four regular observa tions are taken daily at the appoint ed minute, and every particular in re gard to wind and weather is care fully recorded, such as direction and velocity of the wind, highest range and mean lowest barometer and thermometer, mean humidity, num ber of clear, fair, cloudy and foggy days, rain fall, snow fall, eto. In case of unusual storms in any part of the country extra observations ar taken at' any hour of the day and night and reported to headquarters. There are only two seasons in the year on the peak ; Summer August and September all the rest grim Winter. The highest thermometer during Summer is about fifty degrees, and no night passes without the for mation of ice. The coldest weather the past winter was thirty-seven de grees below zero. The swiftest ve locity of the wind was 106 miles per hour, which is but a gentle zephyr when compared with the fierce blasts f old Boreas whistling over Mount Washington. N. EL at the rate of nearly 200 miles per hour. From June until November the summit is accessible not without much fatigue and difficulty on foot or on the back of an Indian pony or donkeyind par ties of five or ten or sometimes more go up almost daily, among them not a few ladies. The officers go up and down every three weeks on Norweg ian snow shoes, twelve feet long. I huiKler storms on the peak are alarmingly terrific. The atmosphere is highly charged with electricity, and at times the whole mountain top appears like one immense sheet of flame. The supplies for the station, consisting of about 3,000 pounds of provisions and family stores, are car ried up in the Summer on the backs of the little, sure-footed donkeys in loads of 200 pounds. Wood is cut at the timber line about three miles from the summit, and it costs SI 8 per cord delivered at the station. Troy (Colorado) Times.- A CARD TOTHE PUBLIC. Editor Gazette Dear Sir : In my last communication I promised Plexus that 1 should not address hirn again unless he sign ed his proper name to his communications and I shall be as good as my word. This time I shall address the Editor himself. I see that Plexus is determined to keep his advantage by the help of his mask ; it is an excellent protection ; it has doubtless saved many a man from an untimely end. But whenever he will be honest enough to lay it aside, avow himself, and produce the face which has lurked behind it, the public will be able to judge of his motives for writ ing his personal letters. His real name will discover his freedom and independence, or his servility to a party. He is pleased to tell me that he addresses himself to me personally ; I shall be glad to see him. It is his impersonality that I complain of, and his invisible attacks, for his dagger in the air is only to be regarded, because one cannot see the hand which holds "it,"andtiad it not been for this fact, I should not have obtrud ed myself at all on the patience of the pub lic. He refers to the use of certain words, and the application I have made of them. I will not contend with him in point of com position, or the right use of words in the expression of my ideas. He is doubtless a scholar. I see at a glance that an academical education has given him an unlimited com mand over the most beautiful figure of speech, and that he writes Latin with al most as much elegance and purity as he does that of his vernacular, the good "Old En glish." He is undoubtedly a gentleman maximus in minimis. Suffer me then (for I am a plain unlettered man) to continue in my plain style which suits my capacity, for, I think, medio Tutissimus ibis. Pardon me Mr. Editor, for I have read his Latin with so much pleasure and instruc tion, that I have almost contracted his style. It is really gratifying to realize one's own greatness, (but to be great is not to be good) and to be Homo Mult arum Literarum. His greatness too has made him very generous, but how much easier it is to be generous than just, and that men are sometimes the most bountiful who have the least to give. But out of his bounty he has been kind enough to give me a little advice, but be tears I will not accept his liberality. I do freely accept it, and am free to acknowledge that I am touched by his generosity. I freely forgive the excesses into which it has led him ; and, far from resenting those per sonalties which, considering that he is an advocate for decorum and modesty, he has heaped upon me rather too liberally, I place them to the account of an honest unreflect ing indignation in which his cooler judgment and natural politeness had no concern. He has accused me of- being an office-seeker, and for his benefit and gratification, 1 make the following public statement u 1st. I was 41 years old last March, have been " tn politics" since ten year of age, and have never held a civil political office of any kind, whatever. 2nd. I now seriously and solemnly promise never to accept any corporation, township or county office, or any such nomination for any such office. 3rd. The foregoing is to be understood as including Representive to the Legislature and State Senator. 4th. 1 furthermore agrete never to go on the State ticket for any position except Governor, and not that if any man can be found who will do as well. 5th. 1 positively refuse ever to be a can didate for Vice President of the United States. 6th. 1 will never accept any for eign mission except a "first-class" mission, and not that unless it seems absolutely nec essary that I should do it to save the country. 7th. I will in no case, and under no con sideration, go into the Cabinet, but I will furnish the President, gratituously, with advice and instruction as to how to manage the affairs of the nation. 8th. 1 will never accept an appointment as Postmaster, col lector or whisky inspector. 9th. I will never, unless inadvertantly, accept any posi tion in any society, club or other organiza tion, without a three-fourths vote. W. A. Wells. P. S. I reserve the right, if hard press ed, to accept the Presidency of the United States, but I will never be president of a national bank. W. A. W. P. S. 2nd. If I ever become physically disabled from raising potatoes for a living, and my family are likely to come to want, then all the foregoing must go for nothing. W. A. W. P. S. 3rd. I especially request the peo ple of the United States, and Alaska, par ticularly the office seekers,, to preserve each a copy of this manifesto. It will be valua ble for future reference. W. A. W. P. S. 4th. As Canada and Mexico are liable to be annexed, it may 1 e well for the office seekers of those settlements to take the same precaution. . W. A. W. P. S. 5th. As the foregoing is not copy righted, if Peter Cooper and any other Greeubacker wishes to take the same posi tion, and cannot write anything that suits them as well, they can use this document o er their own signature. I cannot conscien tiously extend the same liberty to Lord Plexus. He must get up something of his own. W. A. W. Corvallis, Sept. 27, 1879. ALSEA ITEMS A great many people are now here hunt ing claims, and find some excellent land still vacant. David Ruble, of Upper Alsea valley, will soon remove to the Lower Alsea, and build a warehouse on his ejajm near the mouth of the Bay. & The steam tug Katie Cook has been suc cessfully rescued from her perilous position, on the beach, and now lays safely moored in the bay. Mr. D. M. Titus, an exper ienced ship carpenter, has been engaged to repair her. Aside from the loss of her pro peller and rudder, the damage to the vessel is slight.

He waded a moun tain stream the whole of one day, the brush and underwood being impenetrable. The depth of the stream, he says, varied from one foot to arm pits, in depth. He returned in a sorrowful condition, feet badly swollen, shoulders galled and lacerated by carrying his gun. DIED.

CARTER Proprietor and Publisher, Corrallis, Oregon, Ayer's Hair Vigor, FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR. It is a most agreeable dressing, which is at once harmless and effectual, for pre serving the hair. It restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use thin hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands are not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable. The Vigob cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of the humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair, The Vigob is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence. PREPARED BY Dr. J.
