For some time past the papers of tins State and Washington Territory have contained some startling facts relative to the murder of a man and woman in the upper country. The circumstances, as we glean them, are about as follows: A party of tour persons registered at the Columbia hotel, Walla Walla, W. T., January 28th, under the names of A. D. Thomas and wife, and S. W. Broom - Geld and wif The party started out in search of land, purchasing a team and wagon. After a time the man Thomas was missing from the party. Then his wife mysteriously disappeared. Later still, Broomfield and wife give the name of Fox. The bodies of the murdered man and woman have been found, and circum stances point to Broomfield and wife as their murderers. It. A. Truax, sheriff of Whitman county, W. T., sends us a postal card, dated Colfax, April 5th, containing the following description of the mur dered woman, also of Broomfield and wife, her supposed murderers, for whose arrest and conviction a reward of $800.00 is offered : His Description : Height. 5 feet, 7 or 8 inches ; very slim ; will weigh about 135 or 140 pounds; small moustache, light, siiglitly sandv : 25 or 26 years of ace : has dark brown hair, very thin; long scar in center of forehead, pink birth-mark around it ; left ear clipped, dark scar; scar on right side of heart, well up and back, no hair on it; wnen he is sitting, holds his head down and chews moustache; when last seen was dressed in dark suit of yellowish-brown color ; wore stripped blue and brown shirt, and answers to the name of John Broomfield.

The recent flourish of trumpets by the Portland Hoard of Trade, and certain newspapers, about the shoal ing of the Columbia river bar, put forth for the ostensible purpose of se curing a large appropriation by Con gress, has proved to be a very serious matter, and is most effectually cut ting off elm. ,m-8 for large foreign vessels. The " howlers " have prov ed too much, and now the Portland papers are calling upon the Board of Trade to undo the mischief they have aided in doing. Through recent re ports of this Portland Board of Trad o shipowners in foreign ports look upon the Columbia bar with great suspi cion, and leading firms have express ed an unwillingness to send their large vessels thither. Every sensible, right minded per son in Portland, and throughout the State, is anxious that the Columbia -. river should continue the great ave nue of commerce, in the future, as in the past, and deprecate all attempts at misrepresentation and fraud to se cure aid for its improvement. Let only facts be stated, in public and private, and thus save trouble. WJetber or not the Columbia bar is w eftoajing, there can be no gainsaying trrgjaet that we need another ocean ouUet t the Willamette valley at Yibina Bay. With an appropria tion "lb the removal ot obstructions s at that Bay, by the present Congress, a hw ensr Wi'l dawn mxn the com rrterce ' of-yDregon. The people of tiegon qjemaim an appropriation lor .this workj'aiid our Senators and Rep resentative dare not trifle with so im portant a matter, or let it go by de fault. Surveys and estimates have been made, and are now before the proper committees, so that there is no longer any reasonable excuse for atiis matter, about which the ibiy in earnest.- YAQUiKA BAY MUST BE MADE A BET TER HARBOR. Like most of the press of Central Oregon, the Harrisburg Review is striking some telling blows for the improvement of Yaquina Bay. Mr. Allison, the editor, is giving no un certain sound on this matter, as will be seen by the following which ap peared as his leading editorial article in the issue of the 9th inst : From present indications our delegation is having a hard tight to secure an appropia tiou to improve Yaquina Bar. The emissa ries of powerful companies, anxious to fore stal an enterprise of vast importance to the shipper and producer, have made, and are making it appear that the demand is confin ed to a small part of Oregon. The most ridiculous statements, wholy, or in part un true, are circulated for the purpose of de feating our members in their labors for the Willamette valley and Eastern Oregon. Without repeating arguments made again and again favoring the necessary improve ment, we wish at this time, with a full un derstanding of the interests involved, to say, and in doing so, we reflect the opinion of nineteen-twentieths of the voting popula tion of Central Oregon, that no man Demo crat, Republican or Greenbacker can vote against this measure and retain the com monest respect. Wo, to the man or men in Congress who stands by criminally idle, and allow capital to fasten its galling chains on the industry of the State. YV are in dependent, wearing no corporation's collar of servitude against the real welfare of the people, and while this matter is pre-eminently above party or politics, its policy, the wisdom of which no one can doubt, for the dominant party to confirm by its action all it promised in the beginning. Now, neglect the people and they will neglect you make a liberal appropriation, one sufficient to fully meet public expectation and requirements and the people will rise up as one man en dorsing your conduct and glorifying your names. HEAVY SNOWS IN THE MOUNTAINS. Mr. John Gilliland, keeper of the toll gale on the Lebanon road across the Cascade mountains, furnishes some interesting information to the Albany Democrat, from which we make the following extracts: A week or two before he came down he made a trip to the Santiam canyon as far Upper Soda with a team, taking up that far a large lot of provisions for his gang of work men. To get there he passed through snow on some grades to the depth of 18 inches. He removed all land slides untlil wagons can make the trip without any danger, but could not do a great deal of work lor the reason that the ground was frozen. Some of his men walked on up to the Mountain House from Upper Soda, and found things in rather bad thape. At Elk Creek the snow was two feet deep, and kept deepening until on the fiat on which the Mountain House is situated it was about 3J feet deep. At this place the weight of the snow had demolished the barn and sheds and damaged the house. Mr. Gilliland found a great many trees blown across the road on his way up, and he is afraid that the tornado in January has literally mowed the timber down on Seven Mile Hill. He expects high water on the Santiam as soon as spring opens, and for that reason he has taken a wagon load of provisions to Upper Soda. He will com mence work clearing up the road in earnest as soon as the weather settles, and will keep a gang of workmen up even with the snow line. From the fact that there has been no freshets on the Santiam this winter, he is certain no rain has fallen in the mountains all has been snow, and he thinks there is more of it than has been known for fifteen years. He says that the snow is packed very solid, and that horses and cattle can pass over almost as soon as the weather set tles, but it is probable wagons cannot make the trip before June. Republican Ticket. We present, this week, at the head of our paper, the Repub lican county ticket, and we feel proud of it. They are all "good men and true," and can, and will, with united effort, be elected in June. Space forbids extended notice at this time. The omens Q&kaccesa aw'with us.

It was very refreshing to hear a man, so well qualified, who understood the full force and meaning of the term "equitable adjustment" give its real definition and object. After a long discussion in which policy and expe diancy seemed contending with the real hard money sentiment of the convention, Judge Thompson offered a hard and soft" resolution, which being adopted restored peace, but not harmony. The Eastern Oregon delegates were very determined, and from this quarter came Field's sym pathy ; they said " with Field's we can succeed, with Tilden and Hen d ricks yon will suffer defeat." But the old Bourbons stuck to Sammy Mr r,r.

Albany, April 9th, 1880. CCKMITTEE MEETING. A meeting of the Benton County Republi can Central Committee is hereby called, to meet at the court house in Corvallis on Sat urday, May 1st, 1880, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for State Senator, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resig nation of Hon. John Burnett. Let every precinct be represented. A. M. WITHAM, Corvallis, April 16. Chairman DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. The convention could not be called enthusiastic or one of unanimity. Gen. Lane, in his speech as chairman, said this was no time to " blow hot and cold," that the only constitutional money was gold aud silver. In com mittee there was a prolonged wran gde over this question and advice of Gen. Lane. A minority report from the committee on platform, supported by such men as Judge McArthur, Ish, Condon and others, nndertook to deal honesty with the financial sub ject. Amendments more or less in the interest of John Henry Smith, who was supposed to control the Greenback vote, was showered on the chairman, in such numbers as to completely befog to the "Nestor of Oregon Democracy," whose parlia mentary ideas seemed blunted by age. Judge McArthur in argument supporting the report of bis commit tee stated some plain truths, and promised a Democratic defeat in June, if the convention failed to meet the question at issue, "fairly and honestly." This brought Auden wreith of Jackson to his feet; he de precated such language especially from men who had been sneeringly called the " left wing of Pap Price's army;" but "all his eloquence appeals to prejudice did not weaken the bunch grass delegates,!, their stand for principle, andjfcajntain ance oi me puoiic ergs Mne one opposed to the jafl re minded Mc. FROM UMATILLA COUNTY. Ed. Gazette : While on my way from Southern Oregon to the Palouse country, in Washington Teritory, I passed through many splendid valleys, but none of them that excelled, in my estimation, the splen did county of which Corvallis is the coun ty seat. From Portland we took one of the O. S. N. Co's boats, and in due course of time reached The Dalles, where we halted for day, and under the care of the proprietor of the Umatilla House, the fatigue of travel was soon forgotten, and, for the first time in our lives, we began to realize the true hospitality of western people. After a rest of twenty-four hours we bid farewell, for a time, to The Dalles, and taking the next boat up the river, one hundred miles, to Umatilla Landing, where we arrived in the midst of a gale, or sand-storm, and not be ing favorably impressed with the outlook on shore, we did not leave the boat until next morning, when we bid farewell to the old Columbia, taking the stage for Pendle ton, a distance of forty miles. After a ride of eight hours, we were landed at the Pen dleton Hotel, kept by E. Baker and a true host is he and no better kept hotel this side of Portland. Here the traveler finds a true home, and in every department the utmost attention is paid to the comfort of guests. Leaving Pendleton with many regrets, we again take the stage for Weston. Twenty miles further on, passing through the Indian reservation the most ot the way, we come to Ceuterville, a young, but thriving town. Here we halt for fifteen minutes aud change horses, when again the driver cracks his whip, and " all aboard" we are off for Wes ton, a distance ot three miles. And now the scene that burst upon our view fully established the truth of all we had heard in favor of E istem .Oregon. Fine farms are on either side, with well cultivated fields, enclosed by substantial fences, good houses; fruit orchards, and every thing that goes to make home comfortable and happy, are possessed by the farmers between Center- ville and Weston. But we are aroused from the spell occasioned by the admiration of all this loveliness by the harsh grating of the brakes on the wheels ; we look out, ana behold Weston, snugly stowed away in one of the finest little valleys it has ever been our good fortune to behold. As we peered from the stage wiudow, oh ! what a pano rama of beauty was spread out before us The cluster of buildings, with Pine Creek winding its way through the heart of the city, the charming valley extending for miles, until it loses itself in the Blue moun tains, while on the other baud the eye is lost in admiration of what it beholds, tar away, as it traces the crooked course of Pine creek through farms and groves, till lost to sight, and, at a dead halt, we are brought in front of the Weston Hotel. Here we meet with a hearty welcome from C. A. Robe v, the genial proprietor of the hotel. Here we halt for rest, and while strolling around town, meet an old friend, K. M. Powers, and enjoy a social chat. Was in formed of the sad end of Charles Taylor, one of Weston's former residents, and a highly respected citizen, who left Weston about one year ago for the lower country. His death was announced in some of the vaUey papers. The many friends of Mr. Taylor will read this sad news with many regrets that death should have robbed them, so early, of a true, friend and noble man. A Traveler. Weston, March 28, 1880. Passed Away. Departed this life, April 4th, I860, Mrs. Lizzie Royal, wife of Dr. W. B. Royal, of Ashland, in her 47th year. Sue had been quite ill for a number of weeks with tvphoid fever, but the cause of her death was valvular disease of the heart, from which she had been a sufferer for many years. . The funeral took place on Wednes day afternoon, and a large concourse of sor rowing friends followed the earthly remains to their last resting place. A large family of children are left to mourn the faithful mother heart that yielded them such self sacrificing devotion. The above sad intelligence is from the Ashland Tidings of the 9th inst. Deceased was the beloved wite ot a brother ot our fellow-townsman, Mr. C. W. Royal. We made the acquaintance of Dr. Royal and family in Portland, some sixteen years since, and deeply sympathise in their afflictions.
