A. M. WITHAM,
Corvallis, April 16. Chairman.
REPUBLICAN JDUNTY TICKET.
We take pleasure in placing the
ticket nominated by the County Re
publican Convention, on the 10 inst.
at the head of our paper. Most of
the nominees are too well and favor
ably known throughout the county
to require any special notice, or for
mal introduction, at our hands.
P. M Wadsworth, of Soap Creek
precinct, who stands first upon the
Legislative ticket, is a staunch Re
publican, who stood by his country
in the hour of danger, serving some
four years in the Union army during
the Rebellion ; is a man of over
average intellectual attainments, and
ot sterling integrity and honor. Mr.
W. is a farmer, and will make a good
representative.
Mr. George Wagner, is a merchant
of Monroe, with whom we have little
personal acquaintance, bat who comes
well recommended and endorsed by
his neighbors, which is- a good omen.
He is represented as a solid, substan
tial man, of sound judgmeut and
steady nerve, who will look well to
the interests of the county and State,
and never give his vote or influence
eo any "jobs" or political trickery.
Just the kind of a man the people of
Benton will delight to honor.
Dr. F. M. Carter, is a graduate of
Willamette University, and too well
known to need any eulogy from the
Gazette, having grown up from
boyhood in this county. The Doctor
will, doubtless, speak for himself upon
the stump, and make it warm for his
opponent. Our representative ticket,
'as will be seen, has been selected not
only with reference to ability and
honesty, but so as to represent every
portion of the county. Mr. Wads
worth from the extreme north, Mr.
Wagner from the extreme south, and
Dh, Carter will ably represent the
central and western portion of the
county. With such a ticket, the
tepublicans can count on success,
nest June, pretty confidently.
For.coirtiy commissioners, Messrs.
p.. A. Hurj'lfcftt and J. L- Lilly will
meet a moat bferty response from
the people, both being pioneers of
the county,! among our most sub
stantial and influential farmers. The
judicious and successful manner in
which they manage their own affairs
is a guarantee of careful, prudent,
and economical administration of
county matters. They are too well
and favorably known throughout the
county to he affycied by any personal
slang and billnqgfgatc, even though
it should emanate from the personal
organ of thgjpI5osiT
For SheJEfF, which is considered
the most important pfiieejo the coun-
ty, Sol. King is nominated for the
third time, and will be re-elected, as
a reward of honesty and efficiency.
The taxes were never more fully and
promptly collected than by Mr. King,
during his term ot office, and all his
official acts have been performed in
snch a quiet, yet firm and faithful
manner, that he has made hosts of
friends, in all parties, and will poll a
larger vote, next June, than ever be
fore. But, notwithstanding his in
creased popularity, as evidenced by
his nomination, on first ballot, over
such competitors as Messrs. Honck
and Hawkins, we are authorized, by
Mr. King, to state tbat he will not
again allow his name to be presented
for this office.
For County Clerk, Mr. B. W. Wil
son had no opposition, and was nom
inated by acclamation, without a
dissenting voice. For eight succes
sive terms Mr. W. has filled this of
fice, and discharged its increasingly
responsible duties with marked abili
ty, honesty and efficiency ; he is, em
phatically, the farmer'b friend, and
has savrd the farmers of Benton
county thousands of dollars, in the
way of gratuitous writing and attor
neys' fees, hecce the ill disguised
emnity ot u Boss" McFadden, and
his coterie of followers, as exhibited
in his personal organ from time to
time. Ihe people ot Benton county
the voters the bone and sinew
know very well who has been their
true friend all these years, and do not
need any instructions from " Boss"
McFadden's personal organ as to
their duty in the coming election.
Bush Wilsori is a man " of the peo
ple," " for the people," and will re
ceive a larger majority, next June,
for the office of Clerk than ever be
fore. Stick a pin there.
For School Superintendent, Prof.
. B. McElroy had no opposition in
convention, and that office is left
blank on the Democratic ticket. 'Tis
well, as Mr. McElroy's popularity
throughout the county as an educa
tor and indefatigable worker, places
him head and shoulders above any
competitor for this office. Our com
mon schools were never so prosper
ous and harmonious, or our teachers
so thoroughly imbued with the dig
nity and responsibility of their call-
IMPROVING YAQUINA BAY.
Ti e San Francisco Chronicle of the
14th has the following special from
Washington :
The secretary of war, in response to the
senate resolution of the 18th ultimo, calling
for data respecting the entrance to Yaquina
bay, Oregon, transmitted to the senate a let
ter from Gen. Wright, chief of engineers, sub
mitting a copy of a letter from Lieut. Col C.
S. Stewart senior member of the board of
engineers of the Pacific coast, and also a re
port of George W. Wood upon the survey of
the bay, dated Nov. 28, 1879. From an ex
amination of these it is found that a bar ob
structs the entrance which is not fixed in po
sition, but is rapidly movable within a rather
wuie limit. L'oi. Stewart states tnat toe
material of which it is composed shifts back
and forth under varying forces which act
upon it. Its outflow lrom the bay is not sui
ficient to keen the entrance free from sand,
so as to enable a vessel to carry in it at low
water more than nil e feet. He concludes by
adding that an artificial channel, excavated
from deep water inside to deep water outside
would not, in the opinion of the board of en
gineers, with the data before it, remove
permanently the obstructions to the en
trance. The above extract we find in Tues
day's Oregonian, without note or
comment. While we are willing to
grant that the statements of Col.
Stewart will have weight, and may,
for the present, delay an appropria
tion tor the improvement of Yaq.uina
bay, yet it is consoling to know tbat
Col. Stewart's statements do not
coincide with the surveys of Lieut.
Chase and Capt. Wood, and the ac
tual " soundings" of hosts of practi
cal seamen.
Col. Stewart could not, of bis own
personal observation, state that the
obstructions to the entrance of Ya-
quina are "not fixed in position,
ing as now, and the Professor has
contributed largely in this good
work by his system of interesting
and successful Teachersr Institutes,
which have become established insti
tutions, and a most potent auxiliary
m our common school work. Our
people want no change.
For Treasurer, J. W. Williams was
nominated on first ballot. Mr. Wil
liams (or "Johnny" as he is familiarly
called) came to Corvallis in 1852 or
1853, we believe, and has been a resi
dent ot this county most of the time
sine--. During that period he has
suffered numerous reverses of for
tune, from causes beyond his control,
and for which he was in nowise re
sponsible; but amidst them all he
has preserved bis honor and integrity,
and has hosts of friends, all over the
county, who are eager to show their
appreciation of him at the polls in
June. He is eminently qualified for
the position, and, judging from the
satisfaction expressed at his nomina
tion, in various parts of the county,
will receive a ronsing vote, and be
our next treasurer.
Mr. Silas Howell, of Alsea, receiv
ed the nomination for Assessor. He
is a practical farmer, well acquainted
with the price of stock, lands, etc.,
and will make a good and efficient
officer. Mr. H. comes highly recom
mended by his neighbors.
The office of county surveyor is
one that absolutely requires a thor
ough practical knowledge of the
business, Mr. Geo. Mercer, in addi
tion to his thorough knowledge of
surveying, brings a long personal
experience to his aid, and is just the
man for the position.
The office of Coroner, although
last on the ticket is, by no means,
the least important. It is, in fact,
next in importance to the Sheriff, as
the Coroner is the only person com
petent to serve process upon the
Sheriff. But, aside from this, the
duties of the Coroner frequently
require medical skill, and for this
reason the Convention selected Dr.
F. A. Johnston, a man of age and
experience, who will certainly be
elected, as his name appears upon
the Greenback ticket also.
Work has commenced on the Yaqnina
railroad. Whoop her up lively. This nice
weather makes us feel like a trip to the Bay
would be "awful splendid.'' Albany Reg
ister.
Several of our State exchanges have con
tained items like the above, recently, and
we regret, more than anybody, that they
are not literally true. We mentioned that
the work of improvement had commenced
on the Yaqnina Bay wagon road, and our
cotemporariesrgot the roads mixed. Such a
mistake is pardonable, owing to the grow
ing interest in the Yaqnina railroad' project.
We hope to be able to chronicle, before Ions.
that active operation have began on the
rauroaa.-
but rapidly movable within a rather
wide limit." Himself and party
were landed at Cape Foulweatfier,
four miles north of Yaquina Bay ;
took a carriage and was driven to
Newport; went up the bay a few
miles, and returned to Foulweather,
same afternoon. This is all the op
portunity Col. Stewart had for ob
serving the obstructions to Yaquina
Bay.
Soon after this official visit to Ya
quina Mr. R. A. Habersham was or
dered to make a survey of the Alsra
bay and entrance, some 15 miles to
the south of Yaquina. Here was
found a "movable obstruction,"
shifting sands; and Col. Stewart,
without any intention of mistatement,
has, undoubtedly, got the two places
confused in his mind, and the state
ment he makes above, should apply
to Alsea, and not Yaquina.
As a positive and unanswerable
proof that the " obstructions to Ya
quina bay are not movable or shift
ing," it is only necessary to state, as
a fact, that the ranges and beacons
erected by Lieut. Chase, in 1868,
were found by Capt. Wood, in 1879,
to be correct, remain unchanged,
and have been used by mariners all
that time. We assert, upon the an
thority of both Chase and Wood,
and without tear of successful con
tradiction, that the obstructions to
Yaquina bay are soft, shelly rock,
easily removed. It is a sunken reef
or ledge of rock, one hundred and
fifty yards across from deep water
outside to deep water inside. The
only sand that is, or could possibly
remain, upon this obstruction is found
in holes or " pockets" in the rock.
Of course no statement of Col.
Stewart, or any one lse, will change
the facts in the case, or make one
inch more or less water on the reef.
All we desire is fair play and official
statements. If Yaquina Bay is not
all we claim for it, we will give it up.
But we have not been striking in the
dark, or guessing at this matter for
the past fifteen years. We know
whereof we affirm, and Capt. Wood's
survey, when published, will forever
close the mouth of all croakers, and
enemies to Yaquina Bay. Facts are
stuborn things.
REPUBLICAN STATE C0NAENTI0N.
Going to press, as we do, on Thurs
day forenoon, we are nnable, this
week, to give a report of the doings
of the Republican State Convention,
which convened in Portland on
Wednesday. The following dispatch
was the only news we had np to the
hour of going to press, sent to . Al
len, of this city, by T. C. Alexander:
"M. C. George nominated for Congress.
Delegates instructed for Blaine."
Full report of proceedings of con
vention will be given next week in
the Gazette. The nomination of
Mr. George will give perfect satisfac
tion throughout this portion ot the
State, and add strength to the entire
Republican ticket.
The Right Ring. The Albany
Register, of last week, published an
extract from a private letter, written
by Hon. M. C. George, which ba
the ring of pure metal. In speaking
of the Yaquina railroad project, Mr.
George says: -
"This whole north
west will ere long be honeycombed with
railroads, and the upper valley counties seem
to be equally favored in this respect, for by
the papers I see that work is commencing on
the Yaqnina road. This is business, and I
hope to see it pushed through to final suc
cess. I have ever and long before I moved
from Linn county regarded it as one of the
great enterprises of the State, and it is of
State importance that all of nature's outlets
for our rapidly growing commerce should be
opened for traffic Entertaining snch views,
while occupying a seat in the State Senate
I favored the measure all in my power. I
believe that we scarcely realize the grand
future that is in store for us as a State, and
aH narrow-minded sectionalism is inimical
to our future prosperity.
RUMORS 0FOPP0SITION.
The Portland Telegram of the 10th
inst,, has a long article, headed in
display lines as follows : " Sensation
al. A rumor floating about to the
effect that the O. R. & N. Co. is to
have an opposition. A groundless
report. A story set adrift by a San
Francisco man flatly contradicted.
The new company prosperous."
A Telegram reporter had been de
tailed to work the matter up, and af
ter considerable trouble, could find
no authority for the rumor. It was
reported that Mr. R. R. Thompson,
now of California, but formerly one
of the leading members of the old
O. S. TS. Co., was dissatisfied with
the way the afiairs of that company
had been disposed of, and proposed,
in connection with leading capitalists
of San Francisco, to enter into active
competition with the new company
not only for the carrying trade of
the Columbia and Willamette rivers,
but also for the entire coast trade b -
fween San Francisco and Portland.
It was also rumored that matters
were not as harmonious as they might
be in the new company. The Tele
gram reporter, however, could find
out nothing detwnte in the premises,
and pronounces the whole matter a
" groundless report."
As to the foundation of these ru
mors, ot course, we know nothing.
But that the new company will meet,
sooner or later, a formidable rival in
the carrying trade referred to," is
scarcely to be doubted. The new
company, to far greater extent than
the old O. S. N. Co., now controls
the entire carrying trade of Oregon,
and a large portion of the trade of
Washington and Idaho territories.
Such a wide field, and so remunera
tive a traffic, cannot escape competi
tion, especially when so much idle
capital in San Francisco is seeking
investment. In connection with the
above rumors, it is intimated that
the combination between the old O.
S. S. Co., now O. R. & N. Oo., own
ing the Oregon and Elder, in fact all
the steamers plying between San
Francisco and Portland except the
State of California, and the P. M. S.
S. Co. will cease on the 1st of May,
1880, and the new iron steamer Co
lumbia, the finest vessel that ever
came to this coast, will take the place
of the State of California in the
Portland trade. If this be so,
Messrs. Goodall, Perkins & Co., of
the P. C. S. S. Co., will be compelled
to run the State of California in op
position to the O R & N Co., or with
draw from the trade. This being the
case, the talk of opposition may not
bean entirely "groundless report,"
although not coming from the source
referred to.
Honorable, fair competition in the
carrying trade, as in other legitimate
business transactions, is light and
proper, and should be encouraged.
But to revive the old style " opposi
tion," as in the days of the ill-fated
Republic, should be deprecated, and
we trust will never come to pass The
people of this state can well afford,
and are willing to pay reasonable and
fair prices for freights and fares, and
do not desire, nor is it to their inter
ests, to have the prices go below liv
ing rates. There is a marked differ,
ence between honorable competition,
and an " opposition " that means
" rule or ruin." The former tends to
enterprise and thrift ; the latter to
bankruptcy, hard-times, the crippling
of all classes of industries, and filling
our state with paupers, criminals, and
the lowest dregs of San Francisco
brothels. From all which may the
good Lord deliver us.
THAT CAUSEJJF DIVISION.
The Portland Sunday Mercury
gives Judge Burnett, of this place, a
very complimentary notice, but, at
the same time, severely criticises the
action of the late Democratic State
Convention. That paper is on the
" war path " so far as Judges Kelly,
Prim and Bellinger are concerned, as
will be seen by the following article
which appeared as the leading edito
rial in the issue of the 11th inst.:
The Democratic State Convention met at
Albany last Wednesday and nominated John
Whiteaker for Congress, P. P. Prim, James
K. Kelly and John Burnett for Supreme
Judges, and C. B. Bellinger for Judge of the
Fourth Judicial District. Whiteaker is too
well known to need any mention at oar
hands. John Burnett is the only fit nomin
ation for Supreme Judge made. He is a
good lawyer, an honest gentleman, and if
elected, will make a most excellent Judge.
Kelly, Prim and Bellinger are recognized as
being the most corrupt men in Oregon, and
there are thousands m Democrats through
out the state who ill not support them.
We gave the convention due warning before
the nominations were made, tbat a very
large portion of the Democratic party would
not support the Judicial candidates if those
men wore placed on the tiket. We repeat
the warning of disaster now ; and when- the
votes are polled and counted next June, the
result will justify the most direful forebod
ings of defeat with a decisiveness that will
astound the base corruptionists whose acts
wil hare brought wreck and ruin to the
prospects- of Democratic control of this
state.
MR. B0WLITS ADDRESS.
We are indebted to Bro. Ireland,
of the Astorian, for a copy of the
very able and interesting address and
annual report of Hon. John 14. A
Bowlby, President Astoria Chamber
of Commerce, submitted to that
body January 19, 1880. Mr. Bowl
by's review of the commerce, local
and general, of onr State for the past
year, and bis timely suggestions as
to the best modes of improving onr
transportation facilities, are clear
and concise, and evince research and
thought. The document is worthy
of perusal by all persons interested
in the general prosperity of the
northwest coast, and should receive
careful consideration at the hands of
our Sen ltors and Representative, It
touches upon such a variety of topics
so neatly, handsomely, and masterly,
that it must be read to be appreciated
Alter speaking 01 the various ap
propriations for. and improvement of
the lower Willamette and Columbia
rivers, Mr. B. thus refers to the im
provement of the upper Willamette
" The appropriation for the upper Wil
lamette was 312,000. That portion of the
river is not yet open to easy navigation of
river boats during the whole year. The
work of removing shoals, rocks and snags
should be continued rapidly.
We agree with Mr. Bowlby that
the upper Willamette improvements
should be " continued But
under the present arrangements the
work progresses very slowly, and the
appropriations are expended with
but little real benefit, as the river
channel is continually changing
vvoum it not oe well to have an ex
perienced river man in charge of this
work? We would call the attention
of those in charge of these improve
ments to this matter. Some of the
wing dams, heretofore put in, were a
positive detriment to navigation last
summer. Steamboatmen, experienced
pilots, could render much valuable
assistance in the improvement of the
upper Willamette.
New Electioneering Tactics. The
Blade, "Boss" McFadden's perianal organ,
of last week, in closing a bombastic notice
of the Democratic ticket, says :
" Aside from political cosideration, there
is not a candidate upon this ticket who is
not superior to his opponent as a citizen, as
to intelligence and honor, and preferable for
the respective position to which they as
pire."
Here is modesty for yon ! Nothing like
squelching your opponents right on the
start. After such an astounding announce
ment as the above, from the "Boss" him
self, the Republican ticket can hardly ex
pect support in the coming campaign. Our
only hope is, that as the " Boss " is known
to be a great " joker," the above will be ta
ken as a capital "goak." We will not re
taliate, by saying one word derogatory to
the character of any candidate upon the
Democratic ticket ; but we are rather in
clined to think that the honest yeomanry of
Benton county are capable of judging of the
qualifications of candidates, especially as
most of them (the Republican candidates)
have been citizens of the county for nearly
a quarter of a century. Such invidious
comparisons will not set the Democratic
ticket ahead very much. Give 'em anoth
er dose, " Boss."
The New Bishop. It has long been the
desire of the M. E. Church on this coast,
that a resident Bishop should be elected for
for the same, and Rev. T. H. Peame was
favorably mentioned in this connection. It
will devolve upon the next general confer
ence of that church to elect at least one new
bishop, and we are glad to see Dr. C. C.
Stratton's name favorably mentioned, and
heartily endorse the following from the Sa
lem Stateman :
A recent number of the N. Y. Times, re
ferring to the proposed work of the coming
general conference of the M. K. church,
speaks of the probability of the election of
Rev. C. C. Stratton as a bishop of that de
nomination. The Pacific coast claims rec
ognition, and proposes to present him as its
unanimous choice, me people 01 oaiem,
amonc whom Dr. Stratton is so well and fa
vorably known, will hail with pleasure any

CHINAMAN HUNG IN PORTLAND.
Ah Lee one of the Chinamen tried and
found guilty of the murder of a Christian
Chinaman in the joss House, in Portland,
over a year ago, was hanged last Tuesday,
1 1 :20 a. m. His accomplice in crime is serv
ing a life sentence in the penitentiary, and
until the day previous to his execution, Ah
Lee hoped to escape the gallows. His attor
neys worked hard to save his neck, even go
ing so far as to try to cause a clash between
the State and U. S. courts. Such a serious
affair seemed for several days, judging from
the tone of the Portland papers, quite likely
to occur; but Judge Deady was too well
versed in law, and has too much regard for
right and honor to allow any personal or' po
litical consideration to com between him
and the people in his decisions. All honor
to Judse Deadv.- We will eive next week.

Cathartic Pills
Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately ad
justed to secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity of effect. They are the result
of years of careful study and practical ex
periment, and are the most effectual rem
edy yet discovered for diseases, caused by
derangement of the stomach, liver, anil
bowels, which require prompt and effectual
treatment. Ayek's Fills are specially ap
plicable to this class of diseases. They act
directly on the digestive and assimilative
processes, and restore regular healthy ac
tion. Their extensive rise by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized nations,
is one of the many proofs of their value as
a safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative
medicine. Beine compounded of the con
centrated virtues of purely vegetable sul
stances, they are positively free from calo
mel, or any injurious properties, and can l.or
administered to children with perfect safety.
Ayer's Pills are an effecfnnl cure fur-
Constipation or Cos ti veu ess, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite,
Foul Stomach and Breath. Dizziness.
Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness.
liinousncss, Jaundice, Klieiunatisiri,
Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy,
Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic,
Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Gout,
Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all
other diseases resulting from a disordered
state of the digestive apparatus.
As a Dinner Pill they have no equal.
While gentle in their action, these Pills
are the most thorough and searching cathar
tic that can be employed, and never give
pajn unless the bowels are Inflamed, and
then their influence is healing. They stimu
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
operate to purify and enrich the olood, and
impart renewed health and vigor to the
whole system.
