THE DOUBLE MURDER CASE.
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

t
THE COLUMBIA RIVER BAR.
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

meant to be on the side of sound
money and sound national credit.
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

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

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.

like. Castoria because it gives

Is nature's remedy for assimilating

Is a compound of the virtues of sarsaparilla,
sfiliingia, mandrake, yellow dock, with the
iodide of potash and iron, all powerful lilood
mnking, blood-cleansing, and life-sustaining
elements. It is the purest, safest, and in
every way the most effectual alterative medi
cine known or available to the public. The
sciences of medicine and chemistry have
never produced so valuable a remedy, nor
one so potent to cure all diseases resulting
from impure blood. It cures Scrofula, and
all scrofulous diseases, Erysipelas, Rose,
or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples and
Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, Bolls,
Tumors, Tetter, Humors, Salt Rheum,
Scald-head, Ringworm, Ulcers, Sores,
Rheumatism, Mercurial Disease, Neu
ralgia, Female Weaknesses and Irregu
larities, Jaundice, Affections of the
Liver, Dyspepsia, Emaciation, and
General Debility.
By its searching and cleansing qualities
it. purges out the foul corruptions which
contaminate the blood, and cause derange
ment, and decav. It stimulates and enlivens
the vital functions. It promotes energy and
strength. It restores and preserves health.
It infuses new life and vigor throughout the
whole system. No sufferer from any disease
which arises from impurity of the blood need
despair, who will give Aveu's Sarsaparilla
a fair trial. Remember, the earlier the
trial, the speedier the cure.
Its recipe has been furnished to physicians
everywhere; and they, recognizing its supe
rior qualities, administer V in their practice.
For nearly forty years Ayer's Sarsapa-rim-a
has been widely used, and it now pos
sesses the confidence of millions of people
who have experienced benefits from its mar
vellous curative virtues. .
