THE COMING CONTEST.
Already the political cauldron,
from Maine to Oregon, begins to
seethe and bubble, and the various
parties are casting about for their
standard-bearers in 1880. Some of
the papers of this State are putting
forth the names of probable candi
dates for important offices, and, ere
long, slates will be made up. Within
the next two months political wire
pullers and party managers will lay
the plans of the campaign for the
coming political conflict. And right
now is the time for the people, the
voters, the rank and file of all parties,
to be up and doing.
In military affairs, the best drilled
and disciplined troops are the most
effective in battle. No general, how
ever skilled or brave, would dare to
enter iuto an important, decisive en
gagement, without first fully under
standing the ground upon which the
battle was to be fought, the strength
and position ot the enemy, and thor
ough discipline and understanding
among his own officers and men. In
short, the organization of the army
must be thorough and complete. The
same is trne in politics, and no party
can hope for success, without proper
organization. Under our form of
government, at least two great par
ties are actually necessary for the
protection of public- interests. In
Benton the Republican and Demo
cratic parties are very evenly balanc
ed, the success of either depending
very much upon the qualifications
and character of the various candi
dates. Bearing this fact in mind, the
responsibility of selecting honest,
capable, efficient officers, rests direct
ly with the people, and they should
begin to move in the matter of selec
tion of candidates for the various
offices before " party slates" are made
p. For instance, if the Republicans,
of any precinct, desire to have a
voice in the county and State con
ventions, their work should commence
at home, and in the primary meetings.
lorr t wait for any formal call, but
get together, advise, consult, and
talk the matter up, as neighbors, and
then when the proper time comes,
you are ready to act, without the aid
or interposition of political derna
gogues and wire-pullers which are
to be found in all parties.
What the Republicans of Benton
county, and the entire State, want, is
thorough organization and united
effort. Let all past party conflicts
and differences be buried, let "by
gones be by gones," and let every
true Republican, without regard to
his past political action, resolve to
stand firm and square to his party in
; :- . "4ke nejd contest, and the result is not
problematical. To seeure success in
the first place see to it that the very
Best, and ablest men, are put forward
for office, and then go to work for
their election. In this way, the peo
ple, the " bone and 6inew" of the
party, can dictate who shall fill the
'-.offices, and political tricksters will
be forced to take'a back seat. What
Bay-you, Republicans of Benton
' eountyy will you try it this year ?

OUR FUTURE.
May be very bright, or very
cloudy and stormy. We speak of
the future of "Corvallis and Benton
county. We must all nse caution, ad
here to business principles, and fol
low the promptings of enlightened
consciences. We need unison and
harmony, without which all effort for
the advancement of the city and
couuty will be futile. This county
occupies a very prominent position in
the Willamette valley, and conse
quently wields more or less influence
in the state. Our soil is productive,
our markets good and reasonably
convenient, and now the West Side
railroad is here our shipping facilities
are largely increased. Corvallis, from
its location and river, railroad and
stage connections, will always be a
prominent factor of all that goes to
make Benton county one of the first
in the state. But in order to hold
that positiou and reach the pre emi
nence that is worth striving for we
must not shut our eyes to all that
may be accomplished, and tamely
fold our arms and say let the mill
grind, its all well enough. Such a
course will not do. Such a course
will not increase our facilities for bus
iness, nor our influence in the devel
opment of the state of our birth or
adoption. Have we not drifted, here
and there, long enough ? It appears
to us that we have. Let our business
men, as one individual, unite their
combined powers of mind and means
and each for himself make a firm re
solve that the little city of Corvallis
shall be something more than a little
country village, containing a few
stores, postoffice and a hotel or two.
Wake up, fellow citizens, look about
you and see what glorious opportuni
ties await your efforts. There is cap
ital enough here if propel ly directed,
to make this pce resound with the
wheels of industry. Do not be con
tent to eat, 6leep and work as you
did twenty years ago. Combine,
build up the wasting enterprises, or
encourage others to come here and do
it. We have, in close proximity to
this place, plenty of fruit -that annu
ally goes to waste, and large belts of
timber that each, year are ruthlessly
destroyed. We should utilize both of
them. The buildings "and machinery
are here; buhinstead of being the scene
of busy and profitable employment,
they are closed, and fast falling into
decay. Let us have these places
opened, business started and eucour
aged. Don't be too avaricious at
first. Do not expect to get 25 or 50
per cent, returns for the capital in
vested the first year or two. Learn
wisdom by experience, and stay by
in storm and sunshine, and m the
future, not very distant, we shall
reap what we sow in faith and care
fully foster with our care and means.
We need a foundry and machine
shop, an agricultural implement fac
tory, where can be made plows, har
rows, fanning mills, sulky rakes, &c.
The timber is at our very doors. We
can dry and ship many tons of the
finest fruits that cau be found in any
market. We need a vinegar factory,
in which can be utilized the peelings,
cores and waste apples.
A well organized cooper shop
would pay, where could be nir.nuf.ic
tured barrels and casks for the vine
gar, kegs for salmon and other fish.
Many who read this article will no
doubt say the Gazette is crazy, but
I tell you it is not. It is rational and
perfectly sane, it's pulse is regnlai
and active, and it proposes to lend
its aid and influence to build up and
develop our town and county. You
will hear from us again on this sub
ject, and we invite every and any
body that is interested in these things
to use our columns to express their
views.
Census District. By a circular
from Hon. Francis A. Walker, Su
perintendent of Census, we learn
that the State of Oregon will com
prise one census district. In a letter
to Hon. C. Schurz, Secretary of the
Interior, Mr. Walker, says : " In the
formation of Districts reference has
been had solely to the exigencies of
enumeration due to the geographical
features of States, and to existing
conditions of settlement, occupation
and intercommunication. It results,
as was to be expected, that districts
vary generally in population and in
tenitorial extent."
Democratic Committee. The
Democratic State Central Committee
met at Salem on the 8th inst., and was
called to order by John F. Miller,
chairman. A. Noltner was chosen
secretary. The State convention was

LAST FRIDATS STORM.
The most fearful wind-storm that
has visited this State, since its occu
pation by the whites, occurred last
Friday, the 9th inst. At every point
heard from, more or less damage was
done, but the greatest losses occurred
in Portland. One person was killed,
two perhaps fatally injuried, and
seveial others badly hurt, by the
falling of a two-story frame saloon
building. H. P. Heuricli, the bar
tender'died in a few minutes after
being extricated from the debris. It
was also reported that O'Donuell
died during the night.
The loss of property was estimated
at, $75,000. scattered over the entire
city. Mr. Sam. Smith, of the Occi
dental Hotel, is said to be the heaviest
individual loser, amounting to about
$3,000; caused by the complete de
struction ot his new residence, in
course of erection.
hjusl r'ort ana. also, shared in the
storm, and .suffered serious losses.
The handsome little Catholic church
was a total wreck, and the Baptist
church was greatly damaged. M
Paquet's boat house was also a total
wreck. A drayman, who was walk-
ins across a bridge, was struck by a
plank, borne by the wind, knocked
entirely from the bridge, falling some
15 feet. He was seriously, if uot
fatally, injured.
At balem several buildings were
unroofed, and otherwise damaged,
and some barns blown down. The
tin root ot the capital building was
torn loose from its fastenings, and
about one-third of the building laid
bare to the weather. Hon. R. P.
Earhart, Secretary of State, soon had
a force of men at work, shoveling
snow and mopping up the water, by
which means he save.1 the building
from any very serious loss. The
Supreme Court, which was in session,
was compelled to seek shelter in the
Senate chamber, their room being
rather damp tor comfort.
The saddest event, that we have
seen chronicled, occurred at La Cen
ter, in W. T., where a large tree fell.
across a school bouse, instantly kill
ing two children, whose names we
have not learned, arid injuring several
others. The great wonder seems to
be, that he loss of life was not much
greater than it is. It is to be hoped
that this coast will never be the scene
of another such fearful storm ; but it
should be a warning to those who
contemplate building.
LATEST.
Telegraphic communication, which has
been almost entirely suspended by the late
storm, was opened from Portland to San
Francisco and other points last Tuesday.
No report of the storm from f uget Sound
as yet.
Trains were delayed along the N. P. rail
road. No lives lost by the storm, as far as
reported, but two men, named Mason and
Kandle, were found frozen to death, be
tween Kalama and Tacoma.
The storm at. Umatilla was terrifEc.
Great damage to the wn. Many houses
blown down.
Barns, fences, and a number of houses
blown down, along the Columbia. Mr.
Jamison, near Washougal, had his house
blown down, while the family were at din
ner, leaving only the lower floor on the
place where the house stood, The rest of
the house was carried about 150 feet down
the hill and smashed to pieces. No one
hurt.
Albany, like Corvallis, escaped remarka
bly well. Nothing of special mention, be
yond some damage to the bell tower, and
barns, signs, &c., demoralized. The large
woodshed at the depot was -blown down.
On the Molalla, in Clackamas county, the
storm raged with fearful fury, overturning
barns, uprooting trees and leveling fences.
We learn that the storm in the Umpqua
was not nearly so violent as in the Willam
ette valley.
SPEC OF WAR.
The signs of open war between the
Lane-Giover and Thayer-Bush wings
of the Democrtic party, in this State,
are becoming more apparent every
day. Grover's election to the IT. S. years
, - . .
they gained control ot the State pat
ronage, and now the war is between
the " ins aud the outs," which is
growing exceedingly interesting as
the time for conventions approaches.
The removal of the Mercury from
Salem to Portland is a significant
move o the Democratic checker
board. In this connection, the fol
lowing communication, dated Hills
boro, Oregon, Jan. 6, and signed
"Old Times," which appeared in the
issue of that paper announcing its
removal, is more than a " political
straw." We quote as follows-
" The Democrats in this
neighborhood are beginning to believe that
the Mercury is the only Democratic paper
left in the SI ate. They feel that they have
been sold out by all the other papers, espe
cially the Standard, to the Thayer-Bush
THE YAQUINA BOCM.
It is really encouraging to note the
unanimity of the press of the Wil
lamette valley upon the importance
of the improvement of Yaquina bay,
the natural outlet for Cei tral and
Eastern Oregon. The Dallas ltem
izer, Geo. E. Good, editor, publishes
Hon. R. A. Bensell's recent letter on
this subjet, and adds the following
pertinent and well-timed remarks,
which sustain our views, heretofore
frequently expressed in the columns
of the Gazette, relative to the out
let of Eastern Oregon. We com
mend them to the careful perusal of
our readers :
The construction the West Side Railroad,
now nearing completion to Corvallis, with
out government aid, and the proposed line
from Astoria, passing through the Minto or
Mount Jefferson pass, now mooted to be
built, if at all, without subsidy, will doubt
less stimulate the capitalists, of whom Col.
Hogg is the representative, to utilize their
now uuremunerative way across the Cas
cades. The flourishing town of Prineville
is built in part on the company's land. Soon
Wasco county will again be divided and
Prineville as county seat will, instead of, as
at present, dividing the trade of the vast area
around it with lhe Dalles, monopolize the
fast increasing traffic of its natural tributa
ries. From Prineville a desert stretche3
ninety miles south to Silver Lake a desert,
only for the want of water, in summer, an
oasis in winter, when the thousands of cat
tle gather, even from the California line, to
feed on the abundance of fine bunch grass,
the snow their substitute for water.
The trade of Prineville, situated on the
verge of this desert, equals, perhaps ex
ceeds, that of any town in Polk county, all
now hauled on wagons from The Dalles. If
connected with the Yaquina Bay by railroad
it would soon rival that of the upper Co
lumbia town. More feasible than the Pen
gra route and far more profitable if owned
by Colonel Hogn's company, the enhance
ment of the value of their vast road grant
paying for the road, while their capital
without a railroad is an unprofitable invest
ment, the toll on the wagon road, as we are
informed, scarce paying for collecting and
and repairs. The Soda Springs, Fish Lake,
the vast bodies of timber and the trade of
Eastern Oregon are incentives, as we be
lieve, to insure the construction of the short
and surely profitable line from Yaquina to
Prineville, to diverge thence upon easy
grades to some point on the Central Pacific,
Th
the la center horror.
The following particulars of the above
terrible affair, of which brief mention is
made in another place, is from the Oregonian
of the 13th inst :
About twenty children were in-the school
house, most of them eating their noon
lunch. Four children of John W. Bartlett
were seated together near the stove, when a
huge tree came crushing down, demolishing
the building. The tree fell directly over
the Bartlett children. Two -a boy aged
nine and a girl aged eleven years were in
stantly killed. Nearly every bone in the
body of the boy was crushed. The oldest
child, Miss Ruth, aged sixteen, had several
ribs broken, and suffered severe internal
injuries. Her recovery is doubtful. She
lay fastened under the tree for nearly two
hours before she could be extricated. The
fourth child, a boy aged thirteen, received a
cut across the forehead, and his scalp was
torn off from an inch above his eyes to the
crown of his head. Notwithstanding his
severe injuries he is not thought to be in a
dangerous condition. .
Two children of Joseph Gathens were
severely injured, as was also a son of Frank
Briggs. The remainder of the children, as
well as the teacher, Mrs. Loper, escaped
with slight bruises.
A tree fell across the bouse of Mr. Ennis,
damaging it to the extent of 100. The
damage to barns and outbuildings in the im
mediate neighborhood of La Center is
about $2,000.
"The Negro." Some anonymous wri
ter in the Blade, last week, under the nom
de plume of "Z," raises a fearful howl about
the nigger, and intimates that the Demo
cratic party is in imminent peril, and that,
in a few generations, " the negro race will
become the dominant race of this country. "
This frightful " scare" may be the result of
indigestion, added to the fact that a few
score of colored people have found their
way into Indiana. The " logic " of this
writer is amusing, and his figures are as
tounding. If two or three colored families
should happen to immigrate to Oregon and
settle near "Z ," the coroner would doubtless
be called upon, at an eaily day, to hold a
"crowner's 'quest " on said " Z." Oh ! it
would be awful, to be gobbled up by the
nigger.
A Reminiscence of Hen. Grant.
When Gen. Grant was in Portland last
fall, he met an old friend whom he knew in
1854. Together they talked of old times,
and the General asked his friend how he was
gettiug on. " I'm doing first-rate now," he
said, " but for years I suffered so with pain
in my back aud kidneys, that life was a
burden ; but a single package of tne Ure-
goh Kidney Tea cured me up, sound and
well, and I'm good for another twenty

From all appearances the deed must have
