LETTEH-EXPRE8S MATTER-
The report of the Postal Commission con
demning the letter carrying service of Wells,
Fargo & Co., and recommending its prohi
bition by Government, is causing considera
ble stir upon this coast. A paper has been
filed, we understand, with Postmastef-Gen-ral
Key, signed by every Senator and Rep
resentative and Territorial Delegate from
the Pacific Coast, protesting against the re
port. The charges against the Express
company, in brief, are : That it carries its
own correspondence, as well as that of the
ailroad and telegraph companies, with
which it has connection, free ; thut it carries
tetters very frequently at a less late of pos
tage than is required by law ; that it is a
formidable competitor with Government for
public favor, and that it diminishes postal
services to a serious extent, &c.
We are no champion for " over-grown
monopolies," and have had frequent occa
sion to condemn, what we thought ' exorbi
tant and excessive charges made by the
Agents of Wells, Fargo & Co. But, not
withstanding all this, that company, by its
enterprise and energy, has done much to
develop the resources of the Pacific Coast,
and lias furnished mail and express package
facilities to mining camps and other remote
districts, that the Government could not
reach. By this service they have made
hosts of friends all over this coast. If, in
their rapidly increasing business, the com
pany have become somewhat careless, and
violate law, they should be held to strict ac
countability ; but it hardly seems fair and
just to prohibit them from carrying letters
and other mailable matter over their lines.
It might be well enough to restrict the com
pany, somewhat, but prohibition of express
letter carrying would be a serious public
calamity, especially on this coast.

To Correspondents. " Liberal," on wo
man's rights, will find find a place next
week. We should like short, newsy corres
pondence from every part of the county.
Please send us news items, and matters of
local and general importance. The more
brief and pointed the better. As heretofore,
we will continue publishing correspondence
on various subjects, but shall reserve the
right to cut out all unbecoming personalties.
The Gazette, to a certa:n extent, is a com
mon carrier, and the editor is in nowise re
sponsible for the views of correspondents,
unless indorsed publicly, but will, at all
times, be the judge as to what is proper to
appear in the Gazette. Our constant aim
is to deal justly and fairly with all corres
pondents and patrons of the paper.
Look Out for Prowlers. We learn
that some night-prowlers were " hanging
around " the premises of Messrs. Felix Do
ieley and John Miller, of Soap Creek, last
week. They went through the house of
Mr. Dodeley, one night, but did not secure
any valuables. They entered a back door,
taking an ax with them, which they left at
the front door, where they undoubtedly es
caped in haste. It would be well for every
family, in city and country, to be prepared
for such emergencies, and ive these noctur
nal visitors the benefit of a load of shot.
' Mark them " so that they can be recog
nized the next day.
Correction. A brief note from Capt.
Aylea, at Camp Hamar, on the Yaquina
road, informs us that we were mistaken, last
week, in stating that he was in charge of
work on the Yaquina road. He is employed
by Mr. Wallis Nash, in constructing a road
from the main Yaquina road into Rock creek
valley, which will shortly be completed.
We got the two roads mixed. Work on the
Corvallis and Newport road should com
mence as soon as posssible.
Evangelical Church Excursion. The
excursion from Corvavallis to Portland by
the West Side R. R., will be on Saturday,

bility.

Church, we understand, cleared thirty-four
dollars by their entertainment, last Friday
evening notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, which prevented a great many
from attending.
Wm. Foley, traveling agent and correspon
dent of the Portland Standard, was in the
city this week looking after the interests of

reports good success in canvassing and col
lecting.
Vol. I. No. 1, of the Draintville Quarterly,

to you, C harley. .

tion of Second and Monroe streets, and one
half the alley, for building puriioses. Mr.
T. intends to remove the large frame on the

Bro. Qnivey, of the River Side, gave us a
friendly call last Sunday. He informs us
that he is now building a new office 22x48,
two stories and basement. Gl.d to here of
this token of prosperity of Messrs. Quivev &
Waller. The River Side is an outspoken
friend of Yaquina Bay.
The Republican State Convention meets
at Portland next Wednesday. It is desired
and expected that all delegates will attend,
in person, as far as possible. Let us have a
giand rally at that time. It will give
strength to the ticket and party.
We learn that a portion of the Portland
fire department contemplate an excursion to
this city on Sunday, May 2. Corvallis is a
quiet, Sunday observing community, and we
predict a not very enthusiastic reception on
that occasion.
On the 13th inst., Senator Slater, of Ore-

c domain the unearned portion of the O.
C R. R grant between Astoria and Mc
Minnville, and for the right of way of the
Ast-'ria and Winnemucca road through the
Willamette valley and South-eastern Oregon.
Street Improvement. The citizens of
Portland, or more particularly certain con
trrctors, have been having a lively time, re
cently, over the proposed improvement of
Front street, by laying the Belgian stone
pavement. The contract was awarded to
Messrs. Hall & Kern, but after considerable
delay, and much wrangling, and failure to
give the requisite bonds, the contract was
relet to the next lowest bidder, S. S. Cook,
who proposes to do the work for $2 17 per
square yard. By the way, a little street im
provement and alley cleaning in Corvallis
would be in order.
Good Rent. The Portland Telegram of
the 10th inst., says : Yesterday Mrs. G. F.
Wells rented her elegant mansion to the
Villard Party of eight, soon to arrive. She
was preparing for a trip to Eastern Oregon,
when the agent for Villard called and de
sired to rent her house. No caring to do
so, she fixed her price at $300 per month,
thinking it would frighten the agent. Not
so. A check was quickly drawn for that
amount, which may be considered rather
high. W
Suspended, The last week's issue of the
Yreka Union contained the announcement
that with that number the publication of
that paper would be discontinued, for the
reason that it was not given sufficient sup
port to pay expenses. In his valedictory
Mr. Bird says: "As to why this should be
so of a Democratic paper in a strong Demo
cratic county I will leave for those who may
feel interested in the problem to solve for
themselves. It is a fact and that is all sot
ficient for me. "
SOCIAL EV'NG OF THE CONQREGATION AND
FRIENDS OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
In consequence of the unexpectedly large
number of visitors who have proposed to be
present this evening, it is found necessary
to engage the City Hall for this purpose.
The entertainment will take place there in
stead of in the school room at the church.
Friends are requested to come at 7 o'clock.
The principal feature of the evening will
be music consisting of glees, duets and
songs. The new organ just purchased for
the church, will be used for an organ recit
al. There will be two or more raffles, for
various useful and ornamental articles, con
tributed by friends. Recitations and read
ings, by Mr. C. J Her vey Gray and others.
A short description of travels in Norway, by
Mr. Wallis Nash, illustrated by water-color
drawings. Exhibition of drawings and pho
tographs, contributed by several friend?.
Tea, coffee, and other refreshments will be
provided free of extra charge. It is partic
ularly requested that persons intending to
be present will provide themselves with
tickets beforehand, if possible, so that the
ladies may form an idea for how many they
will have to provide. The Second Brigade
Band will be in attendance.
SOUTHERN OREGON PRESBYTER
The Presbytery of Southern Oregon met
at Roseburg, April 1st, 1880.
The Moderator leing absent, the opening
sermon was preached by Rev. J. A. Hanna.
Rev. W. A. Swick was chosen Moderator
for the ensuing year, and Rev. J. A. Hanna
temporary clerk. This Presbytery consists
of seven ministers and a like number of elders.
The reports of committees were highly
satisfactory, and the increase of the churches
very encouraging. The usual routine of
business was dispatched with harmony.
Several resolution were adopted in regard to
missionary work within our bounds, one of
which was in reference to the importance of
continuing the work on the Yaquina Bay,
and urging the board of home missions to
commission Rev. J. A. Hanna to this work.
The ministers all remain in their several
fields of labor as heretofore.
Rev. E. R Geary, D. D-, was appointed
commissioner to the General Assembly, to
meet in Madison, Wisconsin, May 20th,
1880. A resolution was presented to consol
idate the Presbyteries of Oregon and South
ern Oregon, which was deferred to the ad
journed meeting, to be held in Corvallis in
October.
Devotional services were held every morn
ing and evening the evening services were
well attended, and were of more than usual
interest. J. A. Hanna, Clerk.
Corvallis, April 13, 1880.
Good Haul. From Geo. King, of New
port, we learn that on Monday of last week,
Messrs. Sam. Logan and Wm. Boon, killed
three large elk near Mr. Logan's place.
They were part of a band of six that had
been grazing in that neighborhood, for some
time. Capturing three out of six is consid
ered good luck, and we presume the boys
are having a big feast of elk.
The Russ House. Under "New this
Week," will be found an advertisement of
the above popular hotel. It seems to be
the headquarters, not only for Oregonians,
but for visitors from all portions of the
northwest coast. WTe found Messrs. Sey
mour & Barnard very gentlemanly and
obliging, and the waiters very attentive and
prompt We take pleasure in recommend

visiting the Bay City.

Organ Repaired. Mr. J. P. Thomson,
with D. VV. Prentice & Co., dealers in musi
cal instruments, Portland, returned to this
city last week. He informs us that he had
just completed repairing the large pipe or
gan in the M. E. Church, in Salem. Mr.
Thomson makes repairing all kinds of mu
sical instruments, and tuning pianos, a spe
cialty. He may be found at the Vincent
House,
Accidental Drowning. On Wednesday
of last week, Mr. Wm. Love, aged 19
years accidentally fell from the Calliope, ly
ing at the Madison street wharf, in Port
land, and was drowned, despite the efforts
of comrades to save him. The body was
recovered about two hours after the acci
dent. The Standard, in noting this sad af
fair, says the family has been unfortunate in
the deaths of its members by drowning, the
father and a brother of the deceased having
met a similar fate. The widowed mother
has the sympathy of the entire community.
Fine Piano. Mr. J. P. Thomson sold to
Mr. Humphrey, of this city, last week, a
fine upright piano, from the manufactory of
Pease & Co., New York. It is said to be a
very fine instrument. Mr. Thompson is
agent for the best piano and organ establish
ments of the country.
The highest authority in New England,
the State Assayer of Massachusetts, after a
careful analysis of Hall's Vegetabls Sicilian
Hair Renewer certified that it is the best
preparation for its intended purposes that
has been exhibited for examination, that its
constituents are pure and carefully selected
for excellent quality, and that it forms an
efficient preparation for promoting the
growth of the hair and restoring the original
color. This world-renowned preparation is
for sale by all druggists. Record, Red Oak,
Iowa.
Fire at Corvallis. We understand that
a fire occurred at Corvallis yesterday after
noon destroying a dwelling house. No f ur
ther particulars were received by the insur
ance agents Portland Standard, 13th inst.
Another instance of going from home to
learn news. The above was the first intima
tion that we had of a "fire at Corvallis."
It is true that on last Monday night, about
9 o'clock, the residence of Mrs. A. N.
Locke, some four miles northwest of this
place, was destroyed by fire. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but supposed to be a
"defective fine." Insured in the Phoenix,
Messrs. Chenoweth & Johnson, agents.
DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM.
The Democratic party of the State of Or
egon, in kconvention assembled, profoundly
sensible of the important consequences de
pending upon the immediate result of their
deliberations, do declare and reassert the
principles of popular liberty and rights laid
down by Washington, Jefferson and other
founders of the Republic. We believe that
the tendencies ot the Republican party to
centralization are contrary the principles of
our institutions. We insist on unity, fratern
ity and concord, and the issues formed by
the war shall not be reversed. We demand
an honest election and an honest count of
the votes. Never again by fraud or force
shall the popular will be set aside by unscru
Ious partisans. That we are unqualifiedly
opposed to any one holding the office of
President of the United States for three
terms.
Resolved, First That we favor honesty,
efficiency and economy in every department
of the government, State and Federal.
2d. That all property should bear its just
proportion of taxation, and we favor the
enactment of such laws as will accomplish
this end.
3d That we favor the equal protection of
the rights of labor and capital under just
laws, thereby lessening the burdens, and
increasing the advantages of the working
people.
4th That we claim as amongst the pow
ers reserved to the States the right to pass
at any time, by their legislatures. laws de
signed to prevent common carriers from mak
ing unjust discriminations against persons
and places.
5th That we favor the maintenance of
the public schools, the hope and pride of a
free State.
6th That the Democracy demand free
and fair elections, and to that end denounce
all interferance by the military power ; that
the experience of this and other countries
has abundantly proved that chat presence of
troops at the polls is destructive of the free
dom of elections and is incompatible with
the existence of free institutions.
7th That the efforts of the Republican
party to open nd keep alive the war feeling
between the North and the South are to be
condemned by every lover of his country.
8th That we favor continued lawful agi
tation on the subject of Mongolian emigra
tion to this country, until the federal gov
ernment is moved to modify the treaties
with the Chinese Empire so as to prohibit it,
and thus save those ot our citizens who de
pend upon labor for support from unjust and
degrading competion. We condemn and
denounce in the severest terms the veto of
R B. Hayes of the bill limiting Chinese im
migration to this country, and this experi
ence shows that the people have no hope for
relief from the scourge except a Democratic
President.
9th That we regard with alarm the re
cent decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States as having been made in the
interest of the Republican paray, and in
tended to blot out the last vestige of State
rights, centralize and consolidate the Feder
al Union, and change it to an empire.
10th That we hold to the Constitution
with all its amendments, but we insist on
an interpretation of the amendments in con
sonance with the spirit of the original in
strument. 11th That we pledge our earnest endeav
ors to upholding a system of untrammeled
suffrage absolutely free from federal force
and supervision.
12th That the Democracy oppose all fa
voritism and class legislation. No single in
terest or class of persons should be protect
ed at the expense of others.
13th That we are opposed to any and all
protective tariffs, and are in favor of a tariff
for revenue only, and we pledge the Demo
cratic party to abolish all restrictions upon
commerce as soon as practicable.
A minority report was then pre
sented, which advocated (he expedi
ency ol adding the following tinan
ciid plank to t he platform :
Resolved, That the Democracy believe
now as they have always believed that gold
and silver are the only constitutional cur
rency of the country ; that the Republican
party is responsible for the legal tender
notes and national bank currency, and that
their issue was unnecessary and productive
of evil, but that we believe that through
natural financial laws, independent of legis
lation, the evils caused by their issue will
correct themselves.
THE OREGON KIDNEY TEA!
Read the following testimonials, not from
persons 3000 miles away, whom no one
knows, but from well-known and trustwor
thy citizens of Oregon, whose names written
with their own hands, can be seen at our
office:
Forest Grove, Oregon, March 19, 1880.
I hereby certify that I have used the Ore
gon Kidney Tea, and obtained immediate
relief. It is God's blessing to humanity. I
take pleasure in recommending it to the af
flicted. I am now nearly 90 years old, came
to Oregon in 1842 in the employ of the Hud
son's Bay Company, and since I begun using
the Oregon Kidney Tea, I enjoy good health.
DAVID MONROE.
Highland, Clackamas Co., Or., Mar. 20, '80
I have suffered with a disease of the kid
neys for 6 or 7 years and for the last two
months have been laid. up with a pain in my
back. A friend sent me a sample of the
Oregon Kidney Tea, and having used it
one week I can do a good day's work. I
have derived more benefit from it than from
all the medicines I have ever taken.
J. Q. NEWBILL.
Those Who Suffer
From nervous irritations, itching, uneasi
ness and the discomforts that follow from
an enfeebled and disordered state of the
system, should take DR. HYDE'S GOLDEN
BLOOD SYRUP and cleanse the blood.
Purge out the lurking distemper that un
dermines the health, and constitutional vigor
will return.
m THE BROAD-GAUGE FEEOER8.
The tie contract for the Salem and Silver
ton and the Albany and Lebanon broad -guage
feeder roads have been signed and the
contractors are bnsily engaged in filling
their engagements. The Capital Lumber
ing Company, of Salem, has the contract
for sawing out the greater portion of the
bridge and trestle timbers for the firstnamed
feeder. The engineer is busy making his
estimates and the rolling mills at San Fran
cisco are turning out a quarter of a mile of
iron per day.
Mr. Henry Villard, President of of the O.
& C. R. R. Co., will reach Portland on the
next trip of the Oregon; Mr. Koehler, the
Vice President, sailed from Germany On the
16th nit., and is expected to arrive before
the close of the month. As soon as those
gentlemem arrive, they, in company with oth
er managers of the road, will visit Salem and
confer with her citizens, and if satisfactory
arrangements can be made we have no doubt
but that the main line of the O. & C. it. R.
road, as well as Silverton and Sublimity
branch will be brought into the heart of the
city. This will be Salem's opportunity, and
if her citizens let it slip this time then they
deserve to have grass grow in her wide mag
nificent thoroughfares and to have owls and
bats perch upon the eaves of her tenantless
houses.
Dog Kill to. Last Tuesday, while out
hunting, Wm. Sellers, of this place, acci
dentally shot and killed his handsome, well
trained black dog, " Rondo." It seems too
bad, as he was a great favorite among the
boys, and will be missed on Front street.
New Store. Mr. Jacob Senders informs
us that he will soon open out a full and
complete stock of general merchandise and
gents' furnishing goods, at his old stand, in
Fisher's brick. " Jake " means business.
I Wish Every body to Know.
Rev. George H. Thayer, an old citizen of
this vicinity Known to every one as a most
influential citizen, and Christian Minister of
the M. E. Church just this moment stopped
in our store to say, " I wish every body to
know that I consider that both myself and
wife owe our lives to, Shiloh's Consumption
Cure." It is having a tremendious sale over
our counters and is giving perfect satisfac
tion in all cases of Lung Diseases, such as
nothing else has done. Bourbon, Ind., May
15, '78. Drs. Matchett & France. Sold by
Allen & Wow' ward, Druggists.
So Deception Used.
It is strange so many people will continue
to suffer day after day with Dispepsia, Liver
Complaint, Consumption, Sour Stomach,
General Debility when they can procure at
our store SHILOH'S VTTALIZER, free of
est if it does not cure or relieve them.
Price, 75 cts. Sold by Allen & Woodward,
Druggists.
Special Notice.
J. R. Lomer, now one of the proprietors
of the Occidental Hotel, wishes to inform
the public and those who contemplate build
ing during the coming season, that he will
give his entire attention to contracting and
building on and after April the 15th. Be
ing an able and thorough mechanic in that
line, with the experience he has had in the
construction of buildings and dwel'ing
houses of all descriptions in the Eastern
cities, ami two years in Oakland, Cal., he
feels confident that he can satisfy the de
mand of the public in general. A fair pat
ronage of the public is solicited. 17:llw4
A Good Thing,
German Syrup is the special prescription
of Dr. A. Boschee, a celebrated German
Physician, and is acknowledged to be one of
the most fortunate discoveries in Medicine.
It quickly cures Coughs, Colds and all Lung
troubles of the severerest nature, removing,
as it does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in a strong and healthy
condition. It is not an experimental medi
cine, but has stood the test of years, giving
satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms. Two
million bottles sold annually. Beware of
medicines of similar names, lately intro
duced. Boschee's German Syrup was intro
duced in the United States in 1868, and is
now sold in every town and village in the
civilized world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price 75 cents. Sam
ple bottle, 10 cents.
Sad Havoc is Created
Among the tenants of the mouth Dy allow
ing impurities to collect upon their surface
or in their interstices. S0Z0D0NT re
moves every vestige of tartar from the
teeth, and renders their premature decay
impossible. It not only imparts to them
whiteness and vigor, but communicates
-hardness and rosiness to the gums. The
