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."

DAKOTA.
Ed. 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.

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.

Cathartic Pills
Combine the choicest cathartic principles
m medicine, in proportions accurately ad
justed to secure activity, certaintv, and
uniformity of effect. Thev are tlie' result
of years of careful study and practical ex
periment, and are the most effectual rem
edy yet discovered for diseases, caused hy
derangement of the" stomach, liver, and
bowels, which require prompt and effectual
treatment. Ayeu's Fills are specially ap-
Slicable to this class of diseases. They act
irectly on the digestive aud assimilative
processes, and restore regular healthy ac
tion. Their extensive use by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized nations,
is one of the many proofs of their value as
a safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative
medicine. Being compounded of the con
centrated virtues of purely vegetable sub
stances, they are positively free from calo
mel, or any injurious properties, and can be
admiuistored to children with perfect safety.
Aver's Pills are an effectual cure for
Constipation or CoStlveness, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, JLoss of Appetite
Foul StoniacU anil Breath, Dizziness,
Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness,
Diliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism,

Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic,
Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Gout,
l'iles, Disorders of the Liver, and all
other diseases resulting from a disordered
state of the digestive apparatus.
As a Dinner Pill they have no equal.
"While gentle in their action, these Pills
are the most thorough aud searching cathar-.
tic that can be employed, and never give
pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and
then their influence is healing. They stimu
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
operate to purify and enrich the blood, ana
impart renewed health and vigor to the.,
whole system.
