Left fob Home. Last Wednesday morn
ing, Hon. R. A. Bensell and wife took the
Yaquina stage for their home at Newport.
For a few weeks they have been visiting
friends in the valley, and attended the State
Fair, and participated in (Jen. Grant's re
ceptions at Portland and Salem. Mr. Ben
sell remained in Corvallis several days in
order to interview Hon. John Whitaker, M.
C, upon his return from Yaquina Bay.
Having had the pleasure of an interview
with Senator Slater and Congressman
Whiteaker, after their recent visits to the
Yaquina, he will, doubtless, give the readers
of the Gazette the benefit of those inter
views. Mr. B. , under the nom Je plume ot
" Rial to," has, for the past thirteen years,
been a regular correspondent of the Ga
zette, and has done more to build up the
material interests, and develop the resources
of the county, than any other single indi
vidua!. For these unceasing labors of
love, and for the further reason that he is a
man of more than ordinary ability, have the
citizens of Benton county twice elected him
to represent them in the State legislature.
lie is an lnctefattcab e worker, arid rises
above all personal and local considerations.
Mechanics' Fair. The Mechanics' Fair,
iu Portland, is now in successful operation,
having opened on last Monday, the 20th
inst. Up to Sunday afternoon there had
been 278 applications for space as exhibi
tors, showing that the pavilion, large as it
is, is likely to be well filled. In fact some
agricultural implements were denied admis
sion, for lack of space. The Fair promises
to be a grand success. The fact that intox
icating liquors are not allowed to be sold in
the pavilion, is a grand triumph for morali
ty and decency. To Rev. J. H. Acton be
longs the credit of preventiug the carrying
out of the programme of the " wine room"
in the pavilion, for which a license or per
mit had been obtained from the managers.
This was a move in the right direction.
Certainly there are enough "drinkeries" in
Portland, and women and. children are in
sulted enough upon the principal streets of
th.-.t city, without forcing them into more
immediate contact with the evil, while vis
iting the fair.
S till Lives. Notwithstanding the nu
merous obituaries published in the papers
of Oregon, Calvin B. MacDonald still lives,
and is enjoying excellent health. From a
private letter, of recent date, to W. P.
Keady, of this city, we learn that Mac is
engaged in the preparation of a " History
of Sacramento," a splendid illustrated work,
to cost $10 per volume, Thompson & West,
publishers. Mac writes "that he never
was quite so nicely situated in all his life ;
have elegant quarters, and work as I please,
on high salary. No more drudgery on news
papers for a long time." His numerous
friends in Oregon, will be pleased to learn
of his good fortune, and trust that it may
attend him during his entire life time. On
the night of the 23rd inst. , the Temperance
Legion, of San Francisco. 1,000 strong, were
to give him a benefit, at which he was to
make a half hour speech. He was looking
forward to that evening, as the great event
of his life. This don't sound much like
having died of "snakes in his boots."
Three cheers for Calvin B. Mac Donald.
Seed Wheat Mr. Sam. Daw, of this
county, has succeeded in creating quite a
sensation in California, as well as in this
State, by bis White Russian Wheat, of
which several notices have been published
in the Gazette. Mr. Daw wrote a letter
to Mr. D. W. Thompson, of Santa Barbara,
Cal. , in answer to several interrogatories,
concerning this wheat, which was published,
with nattering comments, in the Santa
Barbara Press, of the 9th inst. The fol
lowing is Mr. Daw's letter, referred to above:
Corvallis. Benton Co. , Oregon, Oct. 4,
1879. Mr. Thompson Dear Sir: I have
just received your letter asking information
about the Russian wheat. My experience
in three years has been very satisfactory.
Two years ago last May I had one pound ;
now I have 800 bushels. More than one
hundred men came to see it growing, and
they engaged over 300 bushels at S3 per
bushel. I was present at the State Fair at
Salem yesterday. I sold 30 bushels. All
the wheat I have left I shall send to John
McCracken, Portland. You can set one
pound or fifty bushels. I think you would
do well to experiment with some of it. 1
sowed some the 10th of May, and it was
ripe on the 85th day 40 bushels to the acre.
The best acre this year was 85 bushels.
Yours, etc;, Samuel Daw.

Partially Unroofed. The recent
"blow," which did considerable damage ia
various localities throughout the Willamette
valley, and reminded one of the wind
storms on the Atlantic side, made sad havoc
of the tin roof of the State building, at
Salem. Several hundred feet square of the
metal roof was lifted off, and a portion of
it carried by the wind two blocks away.
It presents a very bad prospect for the win

inferior workmanship ami material. The
loss will amount to not far from one thou
sand dollars.

OREGON AND WASHINGTON COLONY LAND
COMPANY.
Farmers of Benton County, Again.
Ed. Gazette : In the last issue of your
paper is a communication from Messrs.
Wrenn k Holgate, in which they refer to
a "foreign real estate and printing monop
oly," and also call this company by the pet
name of "land grabbers." They also give
you to understand that they can advertise
and sell your lands without any interference
from outsiders.
Now, perhaps, this is all so. And yet it
is barely possible that they may leave some
little work undone which others, by scrap
ing along the edges, may find. The work
of bringing before the public the lands and
resources of Oregon is a large undertaking,
and it is one in which, as yet, but very tit
tie has been done. In this matter Califor
nia, bv her industry and expenditures if
large sums of money, has gotten away with
us. This is not a foreign company, but
company organized in Oregon, and put in
operation by Orogon men and money. Nor
is it a "printing monopoly." It still propos
es to allow the Oregonian, Gazette, Wel
come Stranger, and a few other papers to
live. As to their being " land grabbers,
we suppose all real estate agents are alike in
this regard.
We are well pleased with the handsome
efforts put forth by Mesrrs. Wrenn & Hol
gate to advertise and sell the lands of such
persons as desire to sell. It would be un
pretty to call them land grabbers or monop
olists. And in the matter of advertising
for nothing, they beat us. We can't afford
to advertise for nothing, nor do we desire to
do it, for the reason that our best customers
are so constituted that they would not ac
cept so substantial a benefit without paying
for it. They seem to be imbued with idea
that that which costs nothing is worth
nothing. But the great work to be accom
plished is not to advertise lands here in Ore
gon only. Experience shows that there is
in the States, throughout the Union, si
prising ignorance of Oregon, generally, and
especially of its soil and climate, price of
land, situation as to rivers, railroads, cities,
mills, timber, productions and market price,
improvements on land, and where each
farm described can be found, who owns it
and what are his terms of sale ; and most
of all is this information needed by families
who contemplate immigrating to this State ;
and while other States have been active in
showing what inducements they have to of
fer to the immigrant, Oregon has done but
little. The object of this company is to do
all it can to lay before the people of the At
lantic States full and reliable information (in
the words and language of each fanner) of
all that an immigrant would naturally in
quire about, before he starts from home.
Chenoweth & Johnson,
Corvallis, Oct. 18, 1879. Agents.
UNCALLED FOR ATTACK
In the Oregonian of the 14th inst. the fol
lowing item appeared :
Several Oregon journals have complained
because a postal agent has been sent out here
from the East. They have thought it strange
that no man could be found in Oregon or
Washington for the position. The fact is,
the department has taken this step because
it has had no efficient service here in the of
fice of postal agent for some years, and there
fore decided to send from the East a compe
tent and efficient man.
The above growl, is unwarranted and un
just, and is probably due to some personal
animosity towards Mr. Geo. A. Steel late
postal agent of this division. Mr. Steel has
made an efficient postal agent and given as
general satisfaction, we think, as it is pos
sible for any man to give in that position.
The following letter, received by him upon
the very day the above fling appeared in the
Oregonian, shows the high estimation in
which he is held by the department.
Post Office Department, Division oe
Mail Depredations, Office or Chief
Special Agent, Washington, D. C,
Oct. 3, 1879.
O. A. Steel, Esq., Portland, Oregon:
Dear Sir The postmaster general accept
ed your resignation, as you know, of course,
by this date, to take effect the 1st inst. If,
however you did not cease performance of
duty by date, an order can be made continu
ing the pay until you received notice oi ac
ceptance and discontinued work. You can
not, however, draw salary in your new posi
tion for some time.
Special Agent Seybol, an experienced
airent. has been selected to work in Oregon
and Washington Territory for a few months,
and 1 bespeak tor him sucn intormation ana
assistance as you can give.
In this connection I beg to say that you
leave the department with an unsullied rec
ord. No doubt is entertained but that you
gave honest and intelligent service at all
times. I hope you may succeed in your new
sphere to your perfect satisfaction. Very
truly yours, etc., David B. Parker,
Unlet special Agent.
Good Hotel. The Chemeketa Hotel, of
Salem, under the oopular management of F.
S. Mathews, continues to attract the travel
ing public. Mr. Mathews and his excellent
wife seem to understand well the art of
pleasing the public. It is a grand treat to
occupy a suitoaof elegant rooms in the Che
meketa. The obliging, genial Charlie Weeks
is always found at the trains and boats, to
look out for passengers and baggage, while
the irrepressible Fred. Howard, with his
smiling, geod-looking face, is always at the
counter to assign a ro-m and iook alter
comfort of guests.
the
Free Delivery. Last Tuesday after
noon we took a spin around the city in AL
Pygall's neat delivery wagon, behind his
span of California sorrel mustangs. When A!,
gets " flesh " on those frames, he will have
a sprightly team. By the way, our mer
chants are showing a spirit of enterprise by
employing Mr. Pygall by the month, and
making a free delivery to their patrons, in
the city, without the expense of keeping up
a team. To all others it is a " dime " for
delivery of small packages. We are sur
prised that some enterprising individual has
not started such a rig long ago.
Too feeble to seek assistance the stranger
fell exhausted upon the sidewalk and swoon
ed. A gentle lady held his hand in hers
when next he opened his eyes upon the
world and with a sweet voice she slid, "yon
are among friend, be quiet." The doctor
says you have escaped the worst attack of
the kind he has ever seen. Bat yon: wiH
soon be strong again for you are taking Emil
Frese's unequalled Hamburg Tea. If takes
in time, it never fails to repair the effects of
mental worry and overwork. There is no
medicine comes near it ; it is gentle, yet ef
fectual afway.

Taken before retiring will insure a good
night's rest, with an awakening in the rosy
morn to health, courage and vigor, for
coated tongue, bad breath, sick headache, or
any disturbance arising from dyspepsia or
torpid liver, it is without a peer. Its action
on disease is entirely different from any
medicine ever introduced, quieting pains
almost instantly. The hue and cry raised
against it by patent medicine men, who have
foreseen in its advent the destruction of their
nefarious business, and the thousands of un
solicited testimonials flowing in from all
parts of the New World, is a sure indication
of its great merits. Trial size at all Drug
stores. Half pound bottles, 7o cents.
