is WEEKLY CORVAILIS GAZETTE. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE STATE 0,-FICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COuriTY Corvallis, Feb. 27, 1880. W. B CAVTP.ft. NEW RAILWAY ENTERPRISE, On the 20th inst., "Tlie Oregon Railway Company, Limited," was in corporated in Portland. Wm. Reed, D. Macleay and E. G. Hughes are the incorporators. Capital stock, $2,000, 000, divided into shares of $100 each, with power to increase it desired. The business of said corporation is to construct, equip, operate and mau age a railroad and telegraph line from Portland to and across the Cas cade mountains to Goose Lake, in this State. This is to be a narrow gauge and it is the purpose ot the eompan-y to construct a line 100 miles in length, beginning on the "Willamette river, in Marion county, opposite Rodger's landing, across French prairie, and through Silver ton, Sublimity, Scio, Lebanon and Brownsville, to Springfield in Lane county, and finally down to Portland on- the west side of the Willamette river by way of Oswego. This com pany has also purchased the entire stock of the Dayton, Sheridan & Grand Ronde railway company, and designs to extend this line to. Dallas and into King's valley, in time to move the crop this fall, and no doubt ultimately the intention is to cross the Coast Range and make New port the terminus. We cannot have two many railroads, bnt just now this move is designed to check mate the Yaqwina road, and either prevent its being finally built or to draw from it a large portion of its legi timate traffic, and thus to indirectly aim a hard blow at Corvallis. We do not desire to raise an alarm, yet we do firmly believe that this move is made by Portland capitalists, not only in self-protection, but also to induce capital away from onr road to Yaquina Bay, and the conse quent development of our city and the countryj along the line of this road. For it must be apparent to the most careless observer, that when the Yaquina road is built, as it surely will be, and Yaquina harbor im proved, which is also a foregone con clusion, that Portland's shipping in terests will be materially aftected and its commercial position and business greatly reduced. Of course we must not be so blind to our interests as to suppose for a moment that Portland does not see this, in the near future, should the Yaquina road be at once built and Newport harbor made accessible for the largest sailing craft, and they are seeking by this new enterprise to avert the results above indicated. Can our people see it in any other light ? Is there any other reasonable explana tion of this rather sudden activity among Portland capitalists in this new undertaking ? It is only a few days since this company sent an eramissary here to purchase the iron already bought for the Yaquina road and now in Portland. We believe their agent did not meet with a veiy warm reception by the board of di rectors of the Yaquina road. In short we believe they refused to sell. Now, then, gentlemen Hta did just right; but you must do more, and do it now. It is important that you act promptly, energetically, and wisely, go right ahead, lay down the iron and put on the rolling stock on this road, as far as it is graded, and work incessantly to build this road at once to the Bay. We must not delay longer. Let us have a little more activity and the glorious results to beattained by the completion ot this much needed road will be ours. To falter longer is to endanger our high est interests. We are decidedly in earnest in this matter, and we cannot r.est easy unless we warn you that longer procrastination in this matter ie likely to cost ns the long coveted results, that are now within our grasp, but may be suddenly snatched from us. Hon. Aimed Gray, Secretry ofthe Kansas State Board ot Agriculture, died at Topeka on the 23d ult. He had been in poor health for years.

This issue of the Gazette con tains a call for a school meeting to be held in the school house of District No. 9, on Monday, March 1st, at which meeting an attempt will be made to levy a 3 mill tax to sup port said school during the ensuing year. It is to be hoped that there will be a full attendance of all the patrons of the school, as this meeting is of the utmost importance to those who are rearing families. The former practice in this, and other districts, in this State of levying a small tax and then charging tuition besides has been attended with deleterious re sults so far, and now it is high time that this should be a free school in deed. There are many families in this district that are possessed of but mod erate means, and yet have from three (o five cl ildren that they are anxious to send to school, but have been una ble to do so, for the reason that they could not afford to pay $12 or $15 per quarter, tuition. We do not know of a single Wes tern State, except our own, that fol lows the system here in vogue. In many of the Western States the school tax is from li to 2j per cent., and yet it is paid cheerfully. This district dors not ask but a levy of 3 mills, which is a very light tax, and no one ought to complain at paying such a trifling rate. Fellow citizens, we expect that you will levy the necessary tai, and thus enable those who are not fortunate in possessing a sufficiency ot tiiis world's goods, to ed tcate their offspring, at least in the rudiments of our mother tongue. If this course is adopted, and we have strong reason to believe that it will be, for it appeals to our better judgment with an overwhelming force, many children who are now daily seen upon our streets, growing up in vice and crime, will hereafter be found in the school room, laying the foundation for future usefulness. Let no pecuniary consideration, or old time notions prevent your doing your whole duty when the time comes to cast your vote upon this all impor tant matter. But once adopt the free system and you. will never regret it, uor wish to retua to the present one. OURjtOADS. " Now, don't you think something might be done at the next Legisla ture to get the roads of the State into better order?" This was the query we overheard as we sat in the West Side car the other day. Never mind the answer then given. It was a little indistinct but the question set us thinking, (for once.) Is it not true that half the time this winter our wives and daughters are crying, like the starling in the sentimental journey, " we can't get out?" Is there any sense in sitting quiet under evils all feel, yet none take it in hand to cure ? Two days ago we had supper at the house of a cheery, hospitable fellow, some ten miles out from town. The first thing the wife had to do was to explain that there was no tea nor sugar the wagon could not get into town, and the stores had ran out a week ago. One man complains to his neighbor that be had not got the seed wheat he had bought; no help for it, the wagon could not fetch it. The aext man wants to sell some stock, but he fears he can't deliver tbemr the roads are so bad. Then look at that man riding into town. His weary horse drags one foot after the other out of the mud with a sound of slosh, suck, splash at every step. The rider is bespat tered lrom head to foot, face and all; look at the crowd round the postoffice, waiting for the mail half hour after half hour passes no mail ; it can't get through. Now we put it to our readers if they do not one and all recognize the truth of these sketches ? But this is only inconvenience you say. Well, but money is lost, and there's the rub. How can you ex pect the country to please all these men coming in now the railroad is open, when tbey can't get about to see it ? A man might as well take his iamily to the Spokan country (and that to onr mind is next to the penitentiary for life) as settle down where they can't get in and out to and from town, and the children can't get to school, and church is a forbid den luxury, and if the doctor is wanted it is ten hours business to have him fetched. But you want to increase the road tax. No, we don't. All we want you to apply your minds to is the question how best to expend the money and labor at present devoted to this most needtul purpose. Is it not possible to have some better plan than for the Supervisor to warn, a cou ple of men at a time to go to work on such and such a piece of road, and then leave it, without any instruc tions what to do and how to do it, or any oversight to secure that the labor shall be faithfully applied. Is it, or is it not true, that the majority of the workers, so called, are more anxious to get through their tax and see that they do not do more than their neighbors, and spend a couple of very easy days, rather than honestly labor to a given and well considered end in fitting their piece of road for traffic ? This matter touches us all very closely, see what the best remedy is, Let us A DOOMED MONARCH. The recent attempts to destroy the Czar of Uussia demonstate that the nihilists are determined to have the scalp of his majesty, at all hazards. His narrow escape at the winter pal ace has called forth reams of congrat ulatory dispatches from the various governments of Europe, and our special correspondent, who is sojourn ing at the Russian capital, informs us by cablegram that the following was received from New York: 15 Cipher Alley, ) Feb. 22, 1880. To THE Czar: Doctrinal cuttled anarch vomitive mortal sulphury hermistic achro matic compound juggler brackish limation with filth syllabus swing vizier alb irritate monkey aiiS congratulate galvanic survivor. S. Jones Tilden. Which, being translated into the King's English, will read as follows: 15 Gramercy Park, i Feb. 22, 1880. To the Czar: Reform is necessary. You must either make concession to the people, or purchase leading citizens. I have fouud the latter course effective. There is a charm about the jingling dollar that even a Rus sian nihilist cannot resist. Withhold your income tax from the government and put the money where it will do the most good. Don't be caught in any more railroad wrecks. My nephew is a good disbursing agent, and is substantially reliable. I can spare him this year. If you need his services, cable me at once, and I will start him per first steamer. If more help is needed, will send Gabble, Garcelou, J. K. Kelly, Bellinger, Chadwick, Noltner and Gullphrey. With such advisers, income tax and nihilism can be easily resisted and overcome, and the purity of your government assured. I con gratulate you on you escape. S. Jones Tilden. m. THT STEAMERCALIFORNIA. The steamship California, on a recent voyage from Portland to Fort Wrangel and Sitka, via Victoria, encountered heavy seas in the North channel, at the mouth of the Columbia, and lost her rudder. Capt. Thorn stood out to see. A new rudder was constructed, and lashed on, but the violence of the waves carried it away, as well as several others. Capt. Thorn had one rib broken, by being thrown suddenly against a case on deck. The vessel after drifting a day or two, spranc a leak, the pumps fail ing to work, the crew and passengers kept the water below the furnaces by dipping out with buckets; a portion of her cargo was thrown overboard, and a portion of the balance was somewhat injured. After te ing buffeted by the waves for four days and nights, all the time in eminent peril, the good ship sighted Victoria and was safely towed into port. Capt. Thorn, officers and crew performed their duties, under the most trying circumstances, and are truly alive to the fact that had it not been for the assis tance of the passengers, the steamer must inevitably have.been lost. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. A Republican Convention for the State of Oregon is hereby called to meet at Portland on Wednesday, April 21, 1880, at 11 o'clock a. m. , for the purpose of nominating a candi date for Congress, three candidates for Presidential Electors, three candidates for Judges of the Supreme Court, Judges anp Prosecuting Attorneys for each of the sev eral judicial district, and the election of six delegates to attend the National Republican Convention, and to transact such other bus iness as may properly come before the con vention. The Convention will consist of 165 dele gates, apportioned among the various coun ties as follows : Baker 4 Linn n Benton 6 Lane 9 Clackamas 10 Marion 17 Clatsop S Multnomah 24 Columbia. 2 Polk Coos . . . 6 Tillamook Curry, 2 Umatilla... Douglas 11 Union Grant S Wasco Jackson 6 Washington Josephine 2 Yamhill Lake 2 The same being one delegate for every 100 votes and one for every fraction of 50 votes and over cast for Secretary of State at the last general election. The committee recommend that the prima ries be held on Saturday, April 3, 1880, and the County Conventions on Saturday, April 10, 1880, unless otherwise ordered by the proper County Central Committee.

Allibeii- cold in the world wrtnld mobo r!li I "eY a' D " - only 25 feet wide, 45 feet long and 25 feet high. - ; FROM THE BAY. Ed. Gazette: The S. S. Alex. Duncan arrived on the 20th inst., with merchandise to Siletz Agency, Williams, Hammond and Case. The vessel was one hour and a quar ter on the Columbia bar. At times her decks were swept by the sea. She had pas sengers and freight for Tillamook, but the bar being rough, the captain concluded to try Yaquina. He came in on the morning tide, hardly realizing the passage across the bar. E. H. Larson, of Astoria, and A. B. Hallock, of Portland, were on board ; both these gentlemen expressed their admiration of the bar, the river and country. Allen Parker, of the Oneatta mill, had some freight, and Capt. Carroll kindly consented to run up the river with the same. A gen eral invitation was extended to the citizens of Newport and vicinity to take a ride on the steamer. The trip was enjoyed by a number of our folks. The least depth of water, low tide, found from Hammond's wharf to near the mill was 21 feet. So for commercial purposes Yaquina has 21 feet of water at mean low tide, while Portland laments having but 18 feet. There were places where no bottom could be reach ed in five fathoms, particularly along the stretch of beautiful water between McLain's and Coquille point, nearly two miles long, a mile wide and perfectly land locked. The Duncan is the second steamship that has ventured up the river above Newport. In 1872 the (J. S. S. Shubrick ascended as far as the ship yard, about eight miles from the mouth. On the 21st the Duncan sailed for Tillamook and Portland ; the bar was per fectly smooth, not a breaker to be seen. A gentleman named Elliot, recently from Min nsota, was on board, going to Tillamook to visit a brather. He told me Murray county in that State had been eat out by grass-hoppers for four successive years. The fifth year crops looked well, but a very destruct hailstorm destroyed nearly every thipg. These live years the people have struggled against pitiless fate. The sixth year brought a long talked of railroad through the county, and, Mr. Elliot said, "land that was value less reached a high figure, and I sold out. " Question If a country subject to such ca" amities as the above can be benefited by a railroad, what would land be worth in the. Willamette valley with a road touching the seaboard in 60 miles ? Murray county, Minnesota, is many hun dred miles from market ; half the value of wheat is paid out in getting, it to water, or rather to a place where competition makes monopolies an impossibility. The U. S. S. Shubrick is landing supplies at Foulweather to-day. Rialto. Newport, Feb. 21, 1880. A REMEDY FOR POGR STOCK. Editor Gazette: I think it may possi bly serve to call the attention of some of our friends to a very useful crop if I send you the following extract from a letter I received a few days ago from Mr. R. E. Purver, who lives six miles south of Salem. He was described to me by an Oregonian friend of great discernment as "a live Englishman, and a regular rustler": ' ' We have grown Sutton's Yellow Globe Mangle very well, as well as Swedes. It may be interesting to you to learn of our success with Winter Tares. Ours are ancle high (two inches under snow). We had an immense crop last year. Italian and com mon rye grass, too, are quite a success. We have cow grass, clover and winter beans, and many things that pay for our bringing here. I wish you could run over our farm and see our progress an English commence ment from the stump. We came six years aco, cleared the land, grew nearly three thousand bushels of wheat and seven hun dred bushels of black Tartarian oats last year. We have a nice breed of sheep, half true Merino, half Ootswold. A neighbor measured and weighed a rod of our Mangel 64 tons per acre. I think it is imperative to sow grasses of many kinds to get good pasture. Hop, red and white clover, rye grass, red top ; and we find on our beaver dam land the velvet grass gives much feed." Here, Mr. Editor, is the remedy for the skinny cattle and poor sheep that offend your eyes as you ride about this country. Really, nature has done her part, and we must not blame the country if we are short of feed. I know one neighbor of mine who has kept his cow in full milk all this winter on about half an acre of clover. And we shall have this winter feed in addition to as fine a crop of hay from the clover patch as ever came off Timothy. If your friends have not tried tares, get them to sow a patch this spring, with a few oats to keep the tares off the ground. They will never repent it. W. N. February 23. 1880. SOAP CREEK Editor Gazette : I thought a few hues from this part of the valley would not be amiss. Fanners, taking advantage of the good weather, are sowing wheat; the fall wheat laoka well, considering the freezing weather. Protracted meeting is going on here un der the management of the Baptist church. The Temperance cause is still going ahead with its good work. There is some sickness in the neighbor hood; one lady has been very sick; a Doctor was sent for at Corvallis, but by chance he was met on the way; before they got to the sick it became necessary for the Doctor to have some whisky for his patient; it hap pened that it was found on the way out After arriving at the sick bed, it became necessary for the Dr. to take the whisky instead of the sick lady; it happened to be the kind that makes drunk come, also a little crazy with it. The lady would not take his medicine, so another Doctor was called, a gentleman; under his treatment, the lady is improving fast. It would fill three or four sheets to tell the whole state of this case. If it should be necessary, the name of the Doctor can be. this, it is a sh. kind to practice. Creek again. Soap Creek, Feb. 20; 1 ft Prwm I Not an aspirant for the in the Democratic party has to openly enter the field and contest the nomination with Mr. Tilden ill standing around and i'ACIP ICJ COAST. Oregon. Several cases of diphtheria are reported at McMinnville. The Christian church at Eugene has receiv ed numerous accessions lately. It is pioposed to build a telegraph line from Pendleton to Umatilla. Mrs. Barke, a woman revivalist, succes fully conducted a "protracted meeting-" on Wagner creek recently, making a number of converts. The Ashland woolen mills will consume 100,000 pounds of wool this year, -against 30, 000 last season. James Thornton is now superintendent. Two spans of fine horses, owned by Dr. McKaj ami Mr. Jenkins, of Umatilla coun ty, died recently, from eating bran upon which sleep dip had fallen. Mr. Joseph Watt, recently of Marion cour -ty, sold his farm contai ning 400 acres, hi f mile from Gervais, to Benjamin & Sheldon, recently from Jackson, California, for the handsome sum of $15,000. It is a fine place, yet he received a good price. Sheriff Dickey, of Linn county, who was arrested the other day in Portland, on a charge of adultery by one Goforth, has been discharged. Goforth failed to put in an ap pearance the day the case was set for hear ing, wherefore he was arrested and brought before his Honer, Judge Stearns, who at once sentenced him to pay a tine of 25, and sent him to jail for 10 days incidentily regreting the law did not allow him to punnish the culprit more severiy. From Link ville: Stock have begun to die in earnest. Bybee, living on Tule lake, thii -ty niiles from here, has already lost half of his. Carr, on Clear lake, fifty miles from here, has lost some $8000 or $10,000 worth of fine cattle. All cattle men will lose from 50 to 75 per cent. Many who have hay can not save their stock, as they are not fixed for feeding. Those that do not need feed get most, because they can contend for it. Some hay stacks are entirely covered with snow drifts. Horses seem to fare very well. Many good judges of such matters say that stock that is not fed at all looks better than that fed. The trouble is that feeding has been going on since January 1st, and the cattle rely entirely upon this anil will not browse. THE ALEX DUNCAN. Yamhill Reporter. This steamer, about which more lies have been told during the past few months than one could shake a stick at, has put in an appearance on our waters. The Oregonian has this mention of her "The coasting steamer Alex Dun can arrived at one o'clock yesterday afternoon and landed at Pacific dock. She left San Francisco on the 24th ult,. and stopped at Crescent City, Coos Bay, Yaquina Bay and Umpqua. She took 17 passengers from San Francisco for way ports, and brought up 200 tons of freight. The steamer will leave for Tillamook and Yaquina Bay next Saturday." It seems to us that Yaquina Bay is rather looming up of late. This is as it should be. No part of Oregon has a fairer or more well assured future before it. The region round about that sheet of water and its tributaries will in the course of time be by no means, a small empire of itself. The same may be predicted of the Tilla mook region. The fact is the value of the coast region of Oregon as a fac tor in the future growth and prosperi ty of this great State of ours is but imperfecly understood even by those who have penetrated and partially ex plored this wild and picturesque re gion. The great dairies of the world will yet be located in the coast range. 'There -is lumber enough in these mountains to supply the continent for a century. But this is wandering from the subject. We trust the Alex Duncan will prove the successful, as we are sure it will be the useful pio neer of a great and constantly increas ing coast trade. The Officers of that vessel can contribute in a vary valua ble manner to the much required knowledge of the coast, by recording and making public, private observa tions upon the accessibility of the va rious harbors which may be visited, the character and changes of the tidal currents, bars and other phenomena which the intelligent mariner must necessarily take observation of. Wt repeted, we hope the Duncan will prove both a useful and successful pio neer in the work of developing a great and growing commerce. Every step in this direction is a move toward mak ing the State of Oregon independent and self-sustaining. Each vessel which enters a coast port breaks down some isolating barrier, knits together rautu ally dependent coinmirnities, encour ages the pioneer in his work of re deeming the wilderness from the curse otarrenes8, creates new wants and opens new fields of supply for la bor and merchantable commodities and at once encourages population, without which all our natural wealth and our abounding resources are less than nothing. The Louisville Courier Journal takes a view of the Grant movement which we have not elsewhere seen so clearly stated. It says it is altogeth er likely there will be a dispute over the electoral vote of some of the states. Then when the vote is mud dled the contest will be made to as sume the shape of a plain, issue be tween Grant and the southern con federacy. And Grant is looked to as the man who under such conditions will take any responsibility and be able to command an overwhelming support. There would be justice in having Grant in snch a place if honldbe an effort on the part GHILDREH Cry for- Pitcher's Castoria.
