WEEKLY HIS GAZETTE, FICIAL PAPER OF THE STATE OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BEATON COuriTY Corvallis, Dec 19, 1879. . H. CARTER, THE SUPREME COURT. In the purity, integrity and learn ing of the judiciary, are very largely entrusted the liberty of the citizen and security of his property. Where there a corrupt and ignorant judi ciary, there is but little better than anarchy. The people of Oregon have been fortunate in having honest and capable judges. The decisions of the courts have been respected by the people and by the bar, as the honest opinions of the-judges sitting on the bench. These judges have been hnman, and their decisions have not always been correct expositions of the law ; but .until the dawn of toe millennium, we need not expect perfection rn any one. Hence we are sorry to notice in one the news papers of our state, the publication of what the author is pleased to term "unfiled opinions of the supreme .jourt." These papers are evidently the work of some disappointed attor ney, who not being fortunate enough to be on the right side of a case, seeks, by innuendo, to cast -slurs on the members of the court. The pres ent supreme court is composed of men who have gone in and out among the people of Oregon for too long a time, have been in ccial position too many years, with a record above suspicion, to have their fair fame tar nished by these slurs and vile insinu ations. If the logic of a court is faulty, its reasoning unsound, or the positions it assumes untenable, then let them be fairly met by a just criticism. Let the faults in their logic be shown, their reasoning demonstrated to be unsound, and wherein there position are untenable pointed out But so Jong as there is absolutely no proof of wrong motives, nor, as we believe in this case, not even a ground of suspicion it is ungenerous, and, we believe, pernicious to the best in terests of community, to throw out these cowardly insinuations that the court, in making these decisions, has been governed by unworthy motives We believe that Judges Kelly, Boise and Prim, are honest, able and con sciencious judges, and that the peo ple of Oregon will be fortunate in deed if they can alwaps secure snch men for their highest judicial tribu nal. The insinuations and slurs of "Jun tas Brutus" will simply recoil upon the head of the attorney who sends them forth. These judges occupy much too high a place in the opinion of the people of Oregon to be in the smallest degree affected by them. Col Gillespie informs the Portland board of trade that new occurring obstruc tions " will have to be overcome annually" to make a ship canal from Portland to As toria that the old bars " are gradually moving down the river." This corresponds with the Astorian views that the constant agitation of the channel for the benefit of Portland will biing ruin to Astoria harbor. Then : What are we going to do about it ! Aitorim 12th inst. That is an easy problem, to solve, Bro. Ireland. If those Portlanders will persist in filling up the Colum bia channels, when they have only eighteen feet of water at Portland, " it will force the bulk of the com merce of this State through the Ya qnina, where there are no sand bars to " agitate," instead of down the Columbia. By removing the ob structions at the mouth of the Ya quina river, we will have twenty feet, or more at dead low tide. With this improvement, and the comple tion of the Astoria and Winnerancca railroad, Portland will have to look to her laurels, or she will not con tinue to be the "fat duck, sittina; on the pearly edge of all commercial in tercourse, grabbing the mighty mil lions," etc, as once claimed by the Oregonian. ASTORIA AND WINJiEMUCCA RAILROAD. The Astorian, of the 12th inst., contained a hmgthy report of a rous ing railroad meeting recently held in that city. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Leinenweber, president of the company, who stated the objects for which it had been called and pro ceeded to give a brief history of the origin and pjirposes of the organiza tion known as the Astoria and Win nemucca railroad, the first meeting of whieh was held on the 2nd of July last. More had been accomplished with 50 per cent, of the assessments than they had expected to accom plish with 75 per cent. Seventy-five-miles of a line of railroad have been surveyed to Forest Grove, which proves to be a better route than any wes tern railroad now built, and over which it will take less money to construct a railroad than it cost to build the valley road trom Portland to Hillsboro, a distance of twenty six miles. In fact it was a better route than the other valley route from Portland to Oregon City and Salem. Mr. L. spoke at length upon the cheering prospects ahead, and showed that within three years, by har mony of action on the part of Astoria, the road would meet an eastern connection on the standard gauge from New York city. The work done thus far has been done whol ly and solely by Astoria ; we have had no backers, and we expect to build on the same basis, with no contractors to gobble us up. Mr. Leinenweber then explained the plans for future operations, and the secreta ry, Mr. Holden, read the bond for pledges of aid by property holders, and all who can aid the enterprise in any way. Other able and telling speeches fol lowed by Hons. W. D. Hare, Jas. K. Kelly, J. Q. A. Bowlby, W. W, Parker, and other gentlemen. The report has the right ring, and clearly shows that the people of Astoria are in earnest in this matter. An important advantage the Win nemucca route has over any other of the proposed connections East is, that it passes directly through the vast grain fields of Eastern and Central Oregon one of the richest and best agricultural districts of the Pacific coast and can connect with the largest grain ships either at As toria or Yaquina Bay, and thus avoid all sand bars and ice-blockades. The Astorians will not be slow in calling the attention of Jay Gould to this matter, should he visit their place, at an early day, which is quite probable. Three cheers for the Astoria and Winnemncca road, with a junction of the Westside and the Willamette Valley and Cosst road, at Corvallis. Ex-Senator Mitchell predicts railroad communication with the East before three years, and a large increase of population in our State in the immediate future. His opin ions are founded upon a thorough knowledge of the facts and a careful study of the situation and are with out doubt correct. The weekly Oregonian has enter ed on its thirtieth year. In noting this its publishers say: "The histo ry of the Oregonian is a transcript of the growth and history of Oregon and Washington and great as the progress of the northwest has been, the proprietors of the Oregonian feel a pride in the fact that the paper has been kept abreast of the best progress of the country. Its past a hievements are an earnest earnest of its efficiency for the future." Pumpkin-pie Made of Squash. Take a good-sized crooked-necked squash, one fourth of a pound of butter to a milk-pan ot squash. Sweeten to taste. A bottle of cream; one quart of milk, unless too thin.

Gazette : Now that the building of of the .North Pacific railroad is actively go ing on, and the work making progress both east and west, any authentic news from "along the line," becomes a matter of inter est to the public. Dakota will evidently soon become a state, among "the states," and be sending out men and material for developing the ter ritories this way, thus making the necessity for railroad connection with the Pacific states still more imperative. A late letter from the Minnesota side of the Red River valley, says : " You ask if Dakota is set tling fast ? Beyond all calculation. You never saw or heard of such a rush. They keep ahead of the railroad. It is settled all through on the line, to the Yellowstone, and beyond. Two towns have sprung up al ready on the Yellowstone, population esti mated at three thousand. AU who have been there tell me that within two years one of these will be the largest place this side of Minneapolis. The distance from Dnluth will make it an important point for whole sale trade. " You say the railroad may be completed in five years. You have set it two years too much, mark that." This, and the following from the S. F. Chronicle, makes a bright outlook for our prospective new sister : " It is only a few years since the whole region now included within the boundaries of the Territory of Dakota was a howling wilderness, inhabited only by wild beasts and prowling savages. To-day it is the home of a thriving and industrious commun ity which is making rapid progress in all the elements of a high civilization. Eight years ago it had not a single railroad. Now it has six Hues built, or being built. In 1871 its entire population did not exceed 14,000. To-day it numbers 130,000, a larg er population than either Illinois, Oregon or Nevada could boast when they were admit ted into the Union as States. ' Her territorv is greater than that of all Great Britain and Ireland, and three times that of the Empire State. It has an area of over 100,000 square miles of arable land, a large portion of which is equal to the best wheat land in the world, aad is capable of sustaining a population of 20,000,000. No wonder that the people of the old world are over whelmed with amazement when they turn their eyes in the direction of the western continent and witness such phenomenal growths as this." H. CorvaUis, Dec. 13, 1879. To Soften Hard Water. Take two pounds of washing soda and one pound of common lime, and boil in five gallons of water for two or three hours ; then stand away to settle and dip off the clear water from the top, and put into a jug. Can be nsed for washing dishes or cleaning, and one teacup in a boiler of clothes, put in after the water is hot, will whiten the clothes and soften the water, without injury to the hands or clothes. Use an old iron pot to make it in. OREGON PIONEER ASSOCIATION. Salem, December 2, 1879. The Board of Directors of the Or egon Pioneer Association met at the Recording Secretary's office, Salem, pursuant to a call of the President, and was called to order by the V ice President, John W. Grim. The question of location of place of holding the next annual reunion being the first business, the following proposition was placed before the board for consideration : Portland, Dec. 1, 1879. Joseph Watt, Esq., Director of Pioneer Association of Oregon Dear Sir : At your request, I have seen a number of leading citizens, and am authorized to say that if you will hold your next meeting of the as sociation at Portland, the Mechanics' Pavil ion, together with music for street parade aud balls, will be furnished free of charge. Respectfully yours, Al. Zieber. After some discussion, the subject was laid upon the table until the ev ening session. afternoon session. On motion, Hon. J. W. Nesmith was chosen to deliver the animal ad dress. On motion, Rev. G. H. Atkinson was chosen to deliver the occasional address pertaiuing to the immigra tion ot 1848. Rev. J. S. Griffin was chosen chap lain. Hon. Al. Zieber was elected chief marshal. t , t-it t . r TT-n 1 T 1. Holman, of Salem, and Ben Corne lius, of Forest Grove, were chosen standard bearers. On motion, adjourned. EVENING SESSION. Subject of locating the next annual re-union was taken up, and on mo tion of Mr. Watt, it was decided to hold the next annual re-union on Tuesday, June 15, 1880, at Portland, and that the proposition made by the citizens of that city be accepted. On motion, tlie price of ball tickets to re-union ball was placed at $2, not including supper. On motion, adjourned. J. H. Brown, M. Crawford. Rec. Secretary. President. Cleaning Combs and Brushes. F. asks through your paper for some way to clean combs and brushes. Take a heaping teaspoonful of sal soda, andissolve it in enough water to cover the bristles without wetting the back of the bi ush. Let the brush stand in a few minutes, and then shake it and leave its bristles up to dry. Let the comb stand in the so lution a short time, and on taking it out you will find it clean. If the water be tepid, it will aid the process without injury to the articles. Teachers' iNSTrrtnrE, The Institute will commence next Monday, at 9 o'clock, in the College Chapel, this city, and continue Tuesday and Wednesday. Prominent in structors from Polk, Linn, Lane and Ben ton counties will be present and lecture during the session. All School officers, and friends of education are cordially in vited to attend. Every progressive teacher will attend and aid in the work. The State Superintendent will be present during the entire session. The proprietors of the Oc cidetal and Vincent House have generously offered to entertain all teachers and others from a distance, who come to attend the Institute, at reduced rates. In addition to t ids, other friends have offered their hospi tality during the session of the Institute. W0CLENM1LLS. Messrs. R. P. Earhart, T. W. Davenport, George A. Edes, Lewis Johnson, L. E. Pratt, W. H. H. Waters and Col. C. A Reed have incorporated the Willamette Woolen Works Company, with the object of rebuilding the woolen mills at Salem, which were destr yed by fire some years ago. The articles of incorporation were filed on Mon day last, but the matter was overlooked by us nntil now. This is an enterprise in the right direction, The building up of - mann factories is of vital importance to Salem, and is the only means to render the place any thing more than a mere trading post for the immediate neighborhood. As the Mercury well says, "manufacturing establishments are a source of profit to every person in their vicinity. They must employ more or less laborers, these laborers spend their money with us, and usually the direct pro fits of these enterprises are invested in the vicinity. If the business of o ur city has fallen off one-third by the destruction of one mill it can be doubled by the building and profitable working of three or four. With the increase of business will come an increase in the value of property of all kinds, and the result must be a thriving city. These facts should be apparent to ev ery citizen, and prompt, determined and united action should be taken by all persons who have the welfare of Salem at heart. There is sufficient capital in this city to build and carry to successful operation a dozen enterprises similar to the one above mentioned, and that this valley would sup port them, and make them profitable, is be yond question. Salem Statesman. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. "ITS IMPORTANCE CANNOT BE TOO HIGHLY ESTIMATED." The time has ar rived when a rap id, easy and cheap mode of convey ance for the sur plus products of the great body of the Willamette valley is an im perative necessity There are now 300 miles of water carriage for the products of the great heart of the valley to trav erse before they can be considered fairly upon the highway of com merce, ; yet Corvallis is only forty miles from one of the best harbors on the coast. The importance of this bax Yaqnina to the upper Willam ette cannot be too highly estimated. The time is not far distant when all the com merce of the great body of this valley will pass through it, instead of down the Wil lamette. Senator Slater. P AO I CJ OAST. Oregon. Albany is to have a mail by the evening train. A lodge of A. O. U. W. was lately insti tuted at Junction. The railroad killed its first cow at Inde pendence last week. Prof. James is to take charge of the com mercial department of the La Creole Acad emy, Dallas. The Democrat says that C. P. Burkhart and others think it is the time to revive the linn County Fair. The question of resuscitating the Linn County Agricultural Society is being agitat ed. It should be done. The spring seeding in the vicinity of In dependence will be small, owing to the fact that so mnoh of almost every farm is now in fall grain. The Albany Register says the store of J. M. Powell, Lebanon, was entered by a burg lar, who robbed the clerk, whose revolver was fired three times, but the robber escaped. The balance unexpended of the Grant re ception fund at Portland, $641 25, has been distributed among the hospitals and chari table institutions of that city, an act wor thy of commendation. A yound lady named Susie Hickman has mysteriously disappeared from her home, which causes her parents great anxiety. Any person knowing her whereabouts will confer a favor by addressing the infoima tion to the Daily Bee office. The Independence Riverside says : Law rence and Cornelius, who had been found gnilty of burglarizing Poppleton's store in this town, were each sentenced to hard la bor in the penitentiary at Salem for a term of 15 years. The Clackamas Democrat says : Stans- eld," an old quiet man of about 70, was found dead in his garden yesterday morn ing, near Higliland. The coroner was noti fied and went out to view the body. The cause of death is not yet known. He leaves a young wife and some children in Salem. Judge J. F. Watson is certainly entitled to the championship. Last Monday he left his home in Roseburg, traveled a distance of seventy-five miles, held a term of Court, convicted and sentenced a man for forgery, and returned horns the same day. Where can a better record be found ? asks the Plaindealer. At the residence of the bride's parents, Dec. 9, 1879, by Rev. A. Simpson, Charles Read and Miss Honorina E. Dodele, all of Benton county.

She was converted at the age of thirteen and united with the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, of which she remained a consistent, devoted member, till death. She was a young lady of rare intellectual and moral culture, loved and respected by all who made her acquaintance, and one who never wearied in Joint; good to all around her. Her place in the Church and community will be hard to fill, and she leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss, which is her eternal gain.
