Chairman. . Corvallis, March 6th, 1880. THE DUTY CFTHE HOUR. During our absence from the State, for the past two months, we note come very important changes in rail road matters. It rejoices our heart to learn that so many new railroad projects, throughout the State, are already inaugnra'ed, with a reasona ble probability of successful comple tion at an early day. We have no fear of Oregon getting too many out lets tor her produce or loo much com petition in transportion. The more the better. But, while flushed with the certainty of prosperity that now awaits our Slate, consequently upon internal improvements, the citizens of Benton and adjoining counties should not forget that Yaquina Bay is the natural outlet of Central and Eastern Oregon, and that the early comp'.e tion of the Willamette Valley and Coast railroad from Corvallis to the Bay. is one" of the most important steps in this matter. Were this short Jine of road in operation, as it should be, an appropriation, by Congress, for the removal of obstructions at the entrance of this bay, would be easily and readily obtained. No one acquainted with the advantages and capabilities of this harbor will doubt this assertion for a moment. In view of this fact, the all important duty of he citizens of Benton and adjoin instettaties is to take immediate steps for for completing the grading, bridging, etc., and laying thf iron on the first ten mile section of this road. It can be done with very little exer tion and small outlay of cacilal. Will we dojt? Now is tie time to organize for its successtijpomp!etion. ll is now prettySetlain that an appropriation will be brained lor the improvement of tt Reps AFFOI ter faTh- constit uents Jltr Our Senators and Congress cannot an important mat fwe a duty to their this matter which or evade. All eyes are now uporlhem, and every word thgy trMer, or move they make, is scrutinized by a constituency who are read v to award to them the meed raise tbey deserve. Instead of they cannot shirk heeding the prayers of this constitu ency should they yield to the outside pressures that are being brought to bear upon them by monied interests and grinding monopolies, it will be a nail in their political coffin, and rivet chains upon all portions of our State that will take long years to remove. Let them beware of outside influences and misrepresentations. We refer, in another column, to the fact that'the desire for an appro priation by Congress lor the im provement of Yaquina Bay is not confined to Benton county, or o?ie local paper, and give quotation from several papers to that effect. In ad dition to the papers mentioned, the following, in different portions of the State, are outspoken in favor of such appropriation, but want of space prevents us from making further ex tracts at present : The Portland Tel egram, Willamette Farmer, Salem Statesman, Salem Daily Talk, Eugene Guild and Journal, Albany Demo crat Register and Herald, Dallas Itemizer, Philomath Crucible, Junc tion Republican, Benton Blade, and nearly every other paper in the Wil lamette valley that amounts to any thing. With such a backing from the press ot the State, our Senators and Representative in Congress can not, and will not fail to do their duty in this matter, and use all their influ ence to secure a suitable appropria tion for the improvement of Yaquina Bay at the present session of Congress. REWARDCF MERIT. Eu of Gazette: Custom has made it almost impossible for a public ser vant to obtain the commendati in of the opposite party, no matter how much justice there might be in such action. Sometimes the extreme bit terness of party rancor goes entirely tio far ; every effort in behalf of measures in which localities are deep ly interested is misconstrued; generally credited to some motive of personal instead of public policy ; such mean ness in politics, frequently makes the best results for the common weal ap pear like the sham of a trickster. In this connection the work of Sena tor Slater and Representative Whit eaker are worthy of notice. At the urgent solicitation of leading citizens of the State who had felt, for years, the necessity of another outlet for t fie vast and increasing products of the Willamette valley and Eastearn Oregon, one certain to afford lasting and advantageous competition, these Honorable gentlemen, like true ser vants of the people (not the party electing) personally visited and care fully examined the route of the W. V. & C. R. R. and the opportunities for improving the bar st Yaquina Bay, and becoming fully satisfied of the practicability and advantage such improvement would be to a large portion of Oregon, they have steadily followed public demand, and no one can doubt the earnestness of purpose displaced from time to time as the session progresses. Well de served success will, (I hope) crown their labors. If so, what an immense benefit will they render the monoply ridden people of the Willamette valley and Eastern Oregon. Such action would be the truest economy and the highest statesmanship. Now considering what has been done, and what there is to do, is there anything criminal in commending the course of our members, (not the party's,) but the peoples) in expressing a feeling of kindness for those who stand up and battle for our (not the jjarty's) but the people's rights ? In the language of a patriot, who spoke for liberty, "if this is treason make the most of it." It is high time the people of the Willamette valley and Easters Oregon studied carefully the situation and establish a prece dent that meritorious congressional labor is that which affords the great est good for the greatest number, and that no party lash can deter a grateful people from honoring and rewarding faithful service. Rialto. Corvallis, March 27, 1880. Our Sentiments. The Junction Republi can, of March 24, expresses our sentiments, exactly, in the following manner : "There is a good prospect, that Congress will grant a subsidy for opening and im proving the Yaquina Bay Harbor. Our representatives in Oonoreaa are snlh? nn f hin question and are laboring zealously in itsi'26, G. W. Qui vey, editor : uciiibji. nacK'bift ui uiv otaie aemana this improvement and woe be to the man who has any political aspirations, that treats this cfiort with mttitlerence. Modesty Worth Rewarding. While standing in the column of men awaiting our turn for letters at the Portland, Oregon, Post Office a few weebs since, a number of ladies approached the box window, and el bowing in. demanded their letters (if any) immediately ; but we noticed one who had the highest forehead and was the most intel lectual of all those that approached the box on this particular occasion, stood back and awaited her turn in regular order ; it so pleased all in the column that tbey unanim ously voted her the most modest woman in all that great city. She did not part her hair on the side! nor did she have it hanced f r. u. jrostai maex YAQUINA BAY. Wc bear, from Washington, that the opposition to the proposed appro priation, hitherto chiefly confined to innendoes and stealthy insinuations, has at last taken definite shape and this is the outcome : " We are told, by citizens of Oregon, and others having large investments in .the state, that the agitation attempted to lie gotten up in reference to improving Ya quina bay is wholly at the instance of one man, who is hoping to draw attention to the little entrance at Yaquina, and in that way dispose of his otherwise unsaleable property. That under the most favorable circum stances no vessel drawing more than 9"; feet of water could enter the Bay. That there is no considerable body uf people anywhere in the state desirina an appropriation for the Bay ; as an evidence . of that fact, the county papers only mention the matter oc casionally, when" called on by some small locaf politician from the fishing village loca ted near the entrance to the inlet. That the only newspaper agitating the subject is a Republican one, published in Benton county, where the Bay or inlet is located, and its object is to win favor in the county a Democintic one by showing that Dem ocratic representatives are neglecting the interests of the county. That the other papers in the county make only feeble men tion of the so called harbor, because they know there is no Bay to improve. " The mountains have been in labor and out comes this mouse. Look be low and judge. Do the articles from which these extracts are taken give an uncertain sound ? Is this a sham enthusiasm ? Could any one man, however powerful and adroit, manu facture this sentiment? Is this a party question ? Yes, it is in this sense : t hat whatever be the color of the polities of the Oregon delegation in congress, if they act heartily with the peojile of the Valley, they will earn the gratitude of the people, and that the expression of that gratitude will be felt at the ballot boxes. But they will remember that nothing succeeds like success, and that their constituents will be apt to judge of the earnestness ad energy of their ef forts by the amount of the appropria tion they get : From the Ilanisburg (Linn coun ty) Review, of March 1 2 : Among several important measures, the improvement of Yaquina Bay is the most prominent. An appropriation is required to remove an obstruction or the bar at the Yaquina Bay. When accom plished the Willamette villey will be no longer dependent on one route or line of transportation to the sea board. The Wil lamette Valley & Coast R. It. will be finished from Corvallis. to the Bay; it will probably pass through this county on to Eastern Ore gon, the shortest and cheapest line in point of operation now before the public, we do not say it will come to Harrisburg, or by every man's door, but we do assert emphat ically and without the least fear of success ful contradiction, that this road will effect a great and beneficial reduction in freight and fare as compared with present prices for such such service. It will afford a per manent check in the future against exorbi tant charges. If we want cheap goods we invite competition and the result is assured, if we want cheap freight or fare to the seaboard, without go ing half around the state to get there, work for a line saving 221 miles of distance, and one that will save the pilotage of 120 miles. So much has been said, aud truthfully said, concerning the general advantages and pos sibilities of the proposed improvement, that further remarks in that direction arc not needed. Our delegation are in possession of abundant ami substantial facts and fully un derstand that this appropriation is anxiously expected at this session by the people of the Willamette Valley and Eastern Oregon, aud we believe them to be earnest, and hope to say in the near future, faithful servants of a large and anxious constituency. The Daily Oregonian of Jan. 28, contains the following pertinent and sensible remarks relative to the im provement of Yaquina Bay : Ppople of Benton county, as will be seen by the memorials we print to-day, are mak ing renewed efforts to bring before the at tention of congress the importance and prac ticability of a lilieral appropriation for im provement of the entrance of Yaquina Bay. Their petition is being circulated for signa tures in nearly all parts of the state. There id no citizen who would not like to see such appropriation secured ; for though a printed slip which accompanies fhe memorial seems to be designed to set forth the view that the movement is one of rivalry if not of hostil ity to Portland, yet the fact is Portland is desirous of witnessing the advancement of all the interests of the country, general and special, and is not so narrow as to expect or desire to monopolize all the improvement for itself. If a good port can be established at Yaquina Bay, it will be an important step in the commercial development of the state. At the same time it will promote, assist and increase rather than olistruct or diminish commercial enterprise in Portland, and upon established lines of commercial movement. Our country is a vast one and capable of great and complex development. " The Portland Standard ot March 28, in referring to the recent survey of Capt. Woods, says: " Senator Slater's purpose is to nse these data in support ot his effort to obtain a . e .1 i i large appropriation ior ine general improve ment of Yaquina Bay, for which several monster petitions have been forwarded to Washington from this state. It seems that at last we have secured a delegrtion in con gress that is disposed to do something which will be a last;ng benefit to the people of the Willamette valley. Nothing will suit them so well as an appropriation for removing the rocky bar at the mouth of the Yaquina, and if our delegation succeeds in securing it our people will never forget them. From the River Side, nublished at Independence, Polk county, March the same system of jetties by which Cap tain Eades so deepened and improved the channel at the mouth of the Mississippi ; but experience and science equally demon strate the fact that the shifting sands at the mouth of the Columbia will never furnish a solid, safe and abiding foundation for such works. It will, therefore, be necessary that another method be sought out to save to the navigation of the world the waters of our own broad and beautiful Columbia ; and this plan, whatever it may 1 e, will have to be something as yet unknown to the engin eering world. The willows of Edes jetties, with bags of sand and dirt used to hold them in place, instead of deepening and enlarging the channel of the Columbia at the bar, would, in a very short time become incorporated with the shifting, moving sand, and assist in obstructing the channel. From the above facts it is evident that we must soon look for another ocean outlet ; one on which we can depend at all times, and in all seasons. Such and outlet we can have at but a trifling expense to otir govern ment, at the Yaquina Bay. The rocks at the bar can be removed, and the harbor ren dered safe and easy of success for the largest class of vessels that visit our waters, for a comparatively small sum. With this chan nel, a harbor is formed which will never be closed by drifting sands or changing bars ; and inside the Bay there is safe anchorage for a large fleet. Another point of superi ority which the Yaquina Bay possesses over the Columbia lies in the fact that it is never subject to ice blockades ; and is available at all seasons of the year. The W. V. & C. R. R. is already projected, and a portion of the road graded ; and this, when completed, will connect the central and upper portions of the Willamette valley with the ocean beach ; reducing the distance and time from those portions to San Francisco, nearly one half. With the true man of business, time is money, and this change of route would effect a valuable saving of time, even to the business men of Portland. Our Senators and Representative in Con gress are called upon to act for this one vital interest of Oregon ; and they will succeed, unless defeated by the railroad lobby. As we have before ttated, we again reiterate, this is a matter vital to the interests of a large, populous and wealthy portion of Ore gon ; is not, and cannot be in any way con nected with politics, and defeated by parti san methods, the ones responsible for such defeat will be held to a strict accountability by our people. COLUMBIA BAR -AN URGENT MATTER. It is time to speak plain words about the Columbiariver bar. Yesterday a correspond ent of the Oregonian did good service in this behalf .and to-day anothercorrespondent does a like thing. So far is it from being necces sary to get np a scare and panic about the alleged shoaling and increasing dangers of the bar, that in fact these things may with confidence be pronounced imaginary, and it is therefore meet that we turn from unsup ported conjecture to practical facts. That the bar is shoaling we have seen no reason whatever to believe; that the loss of the Dil harree was due to blundering incompetency and to the want of tugs of sufficient power, is next to certain. The result of the inves tigation before the British vice consul in this city makes necessary an investigation by the state borad of pilot commissioners, with such further action as their finding., may re quire. We have no doubt that there is as great depth of water at the entrance of the Columbia river as there ever was; and all we want is intelligent and efficient service there. And this the country must have. The service at the bar, under the existing law, is a monopoly which exists to make all the present profits it can out of the com merce of the Columbia, without regard for the future. It is represented at every ses sion of the legislature, and there makes a fight for its own interest and for the defeat of reform. At the rates allowed by law its profits are enormous; and yet the service it renders is extremely inefficient as compred with the wants and importance of our com merce. Our commercial men must take hold of this subject. We must have power ful tugs, lower rates of towage, and good pi lots. When we get such service at the mouth of the Columbia river as it is easily possible to obtain we shall have an end to disasters. Oregonian, March 27th. From the above it is evident that all the astounding statements relative to the shoalinsr of the Columbia riv er bar have been made for the pur pose of inducing an immediate appro priation for the improvement of that bar. The truth is the State legisla ture can furnish a remedy at its next session. Useful Knowledge. To transplant trees, as soon as they are received, cut off all broken roots, and all roots previously cut should be recut, just above where they were formerly, to freshen them. The branches should be cut back half their length. AH bruised parts, whether in roots or branches, should be cm off. The hole for the tree should be larger and deeper than the roots require, and the tree should be planted two inches deeper than when in the nursery. Put the surface soil at the roots and the bottom soil on the surface. It is a good idea to dip the roots in a thin mud just be fore planting. The land should be thorough ly ploughed eight or ten inches deep, or sub soiled and cross-ploughed, and then finely pulverized. Do not plant any small grain or alfalfa in an orchard under any circumstances. The Astorian of late date, says : "Capt. Flavel has been making personal inspection of bar soundings for several days, since his return from San Francisco, and is himself fully satisfied that it is only a question of very brief time, so rapid and broadcast is the shoaling process, when it will be impos sible for deep vessels to cross. The north channel along Sand Island from the head, is filling up fast as does the south channel. This would indicate that the commerce of our entire State must soon seek another out let, or we, with the vast and constantly in creasing resources of onr country, be bot tled up and made an inland, and not a mar itime State. The most-important and ah, sorbing question iwtll the people of-ort.-land and AatoriapwIpSfay, is how can tfts shoaling and despoiling of onr great high way to the outside world, be checked and averted, we would nrst iook tor neip to Large Shipments of Fkpit. Geo. W. Sill informs the Democrat that last week he shipped ten tons of the Plummer fruit be longing to the Corvallis Fruit Co. to Lon don, and this will be the last shipment until this year's product is worked up. He says the Company has heard from their first shipment to the same place, and feel very much flattered over their prospects. The fruit arrived in good condition and was so much better than my other in th market that it drew from several of the London newspapers very favorable notices. Creek Tom and a boy, half breeds, at Mill Creeek, Indiana Territory, were in league with the devil, and were by him empowered to work mis chief. Such at least was the belief of the Ind ians in the neighborhood, and it was deemed expedient to kill them, which was done by a mob at night. A sick woman at Westford, Wis., believed she was bewitched by on old hag who lived near by, and a number of superstitious women were of the same mind. They took the supposed witch to the invalid's Viouse, read the lijoie to ner, ana nou ly, one of them using arfi to be tried for th FROM KING'S VALLEY. Editor Gazette : The Democrats held their primary meeting here Saturday last. The number of Democrats present were eighteen, number of votes cast twenty -'one ; three Republicans present either taking part or else some jof "the Democrats voting twice. The delegates elected to the county convention were, Joseph Graham, Gaberiel Long, Jas. Kibbey, Chas. Cooper and John McGee. Everything went on quietly until the meeting attempted to instruct the dele gates. The instructions wished to be given were to the effect "that the Corvallis ring should not run the delegates or cast the votes of absent members." During the discus sion of this question, one Bourbon Democrat got excited and with much energy declared, that, " If Republicans are a runnin' this meetin', I don't waut nothin' to do witH it." The instructions were promptly voted down. It is believed that the said Democrat is in cahoots with said Corvallis ring. The Republicans of this precinct are fully wide awake and will seud up a good delega tion to the county convention and a good majority for the ticket nominated. As we have a member of Congress to elect this spring why cannot those who are interested in opening up a commercial thoroughfare through Yaquina Bay, unite and nominate and elect some person who will work hearti ly in Congress for this much desired end? I believe any man of average ability elect ed to Congress from Oregpn, at the present time, who would make it a speciality .to la bor for' an appropriation for Yaquina Bay could beyond doubt succeed, unless the present Congress should give the required aid. The ojjening tip of Yaquina Bay is and ever should be placed foremost among the improvements in this State. Ajax. March 9, 1880. CARD FROM MR. MULKEY. To G. B. Smith, Esq., Chairman Green back County Central Committee : Dear Sir: I see by the proceedings of the. Greenback county convention, held at Corvallis on the 11th inst., that my name appears as one of the nominees of that convention for the of fice of IJepresentative. I was surprised to see my name used in that connection, as I have never acted with the Greenback party. And though, per haps, holding some views not wholly antag onistic to those advocated by the Green back party, I am not sufficiently strong in the Faith to be your candidate. am an Independent anti-Grant Republican, 1 recog nize among the active members of the Greenback party in Benton county many of my warmest personal friends, and I am not unmindful of the confidence expressed by your convention. But friendship is one thing political integrity another. Some of the financial theories advocated by the Greenback party, I doubt not, are correct in principle, but I fear that our children's children will be voters and office-hunter3 long before they can be practically applied to the governmental affairs of nations. I have said this much, because to remain silent would be to deceive yon and to be dishonest with myself. Yours respectfully, A. G. Mulket. Corvallis, March 25, 1880. We are informed that Mr. N. WThealdon, also a candidate for representative on the same ticket, has requested Mr. G. B. Smith to remove his name from the ticket. EXPLANATION WANTED. Ed. Gazette : Why it is that a private lettter, plainly addressed, put in the post office at Philomath, Benton county, never reaches Dixie, or Rickreal, Polk county, or vice versa ? Seems to us that, in that short distance, there ought to be no such trouble ; still, to our positive knowledge, our dear ones have mailed important news to us, which we never have received, and probably never should have known anything about had they not tol i us of it when next we saw them. They, in turn, wait and wonder why we don't write. If any unfortunate mail carrier on this route has had to use the con t juts of the mail bags to kindle a fire to keep himself from freezing to death, we have not been so fortunate as to hear of it. So it seems to us there must be neglect somewhere, on the part of some one that has something to do with the matter. Yours respectfully, Sarah A, Iewis. Philomath, March 22d, 1880.

N.Y- Ague Cure Is a purely vegetable bitter and powerful toiiii-, ami U warranted a speedv and cer tain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fever, 1 te rn i t ten t Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or BUions Fever, acd all malarial dis orders. In miasmatic districts, the rapid pulse, eoated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the hack and loins, and cold ness of the spine and extremities, are only" premonitions of severer symptoms which, terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever aud profuse perspiration. It in a startling faet, that quinine, arsenic, anil other poisonous minerals form the basis of mo-it of the " Fever and Ague Prepara tions," " Specifies," "Syrups," and "Ton ii s," in the market. The preparations made from these mineral poisons, although they ar:i palatable, and may break the chill, do. not cur.s, hut leave the malarial and their own liu poison in the system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, heatt aciie, vertigo, and other disorders more for mhlalda than the disease they were intended to cure. AvF.it's A:rn Crur. thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest eases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate patient; and its crowning excellence, aliove its cer tainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as free from disease as before the attack. For Liver Complaints, Avf.r's Ac.vk. Cuijr, by direct action on the liver and bil iary apparatus, drives out the poisons which produce these complaints, anil stimulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition.
