WEEKLY MUtttl GAZETTE. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE STATE )FFICIAl PAPER FOR BENTON COuiiTY Corvallis, June 11, 1880. W. B. CAKTI-.K, THE CONTEST. Last Monday wns the culmination of the political campaign in Oregon. In Benton county, lln-re were three full tickets in the field, and the can didates and their friends have used all honorable means, and in some cases, we tear, resorted to questiona ble methods to secure the election of themselves or their trienus. J lie contest has been a severe one, th Republican hii1 Democratic parties being nearly equally divided ami each hoping to achieve a complete victory, have done all that politicians could do to secure that end. In an other column will be found the result, of which it is not our purnoae to speak in this place. We were ourself a candidate for an important otiice, ami lake this op portuuity to return to our many friends, who made our election their own interest, and supported us will their votes and influence, our most sincere thanks and gratitude; we will not soon forget them. We have endeavored to conduct the Gazette in a manner that would secure the endorsement of our political principles at the polls, and at the same time to avoid everything of a personal nature, and oppose the principles ot our opponents without wounding the feelings of any one, as nearly every one ot our politica enemies we were glad to ackuowl edge as personal friends, and if, at any time, in our zeal tor the cause we advocate, we have either ourselves or through correspondents, suffered anything to appear in our columns that has hurl the feelings of any one we regret it, and in our cooler mo ments would gladly recall the wicked words, and say to all whom circum stances, or the conviction ot right has compelled us to oppose, have done what we could, but have done it in the spirit of kindness. THE NEXT PRESIDENT- Tuesday afternoon, on the 36th Uallot, the Republican National Con vention nominated Hon. James Gar field, of Ohio, tor President of the United Slates. To many, perhaps, this choice was unexpected, but to no one was it unwelcome. Of course the people of Oregon wanted Blaine, but are satisfied with Garfield. In many respects this nomination is a strong one. Gen. Garfield has always been a favorite with a large portion of the American people. Is not radical in his political views and has never been strongly identified with either the Blaine or Grant t'ae tiou of the Republican pirty during the recent struggle tor the nomina tion. It is almost like giving up an oWl friend, 10 abandon the idea of Blaine being our next President. Yet Gi field will be just as eiuhusiaciically supported by every Republican, lor he is just as able a man, and lully as much entitled to their suppoit. The only percent in favor of Blaine be ing the faet, that he has, lor so long a time, been before the people as an aspirant for the position. That Mr. Garfield is a statesman of the highest ability no one will for a mom, m question. As an w as or he has few equals, and no superiors, in America at the present time, and he will be elected, in November, by a large popular majority. Hurrah for Garfield! The appropriation for the im provement of Yaquiua Bay has pass od both Houses of Congress, and is awaiting the signature ot the Presi dent. This appropriation has been watched by our citizens with the greatest anxiety, for a long lime. We reserve further comments for the future. We we The Republican nominee for Tice President of the United States, Hon. Chester A. Arthur, of New York is a man, in all respects, worthy of the second position on the ticket, and if anything could add strength to Gar field, it would be the nomination of Mr. Arthur,, who is at present prac ticiug law in the city of New York, but will for the next four years be the presiding officer of the United Slates Senate. Linn Cocmtv Redeemed. For the last sixteen yean, Lion county baa been over whelmingly Democratic, bat has at last be come tired of Democratic rule, and on last Monday came forward with "an entirely new change of programme," by electing the whole Republican ticket, except the Asses sor and one Commissioner. Capt. N. B. Humphrey. State Senator, leading the ticket. has 246 majority. T.ie Democrats were j abundance of nionev, elected in 1878, by nearly three hundred. SUP-SHOD INDUSTRIAL AXIOMS. The political economy that is ome- limes developed in the newspapers not a ffood article of its kind. When imports begin largely to in crease the explanation presented al- wav is that our people have, in con sequence of some revival in industry, entered on a career of extravagance and waste. There is usually not much time tor the newspaper econo mist to work out bis problems with the thoroughness which an obscure subject demands. When imports suddenly swell the obvions inference is that we are consuming more ioreign .roods, which, by the way, are mostly luxuries, than formerly. I3ut the generalization gives a character to our neoiile which does not belong to i hem. It assisrns them a place not much more advanced than that of children whose pockets burn until i hey get rid of whatever loose change .hev may have in them. It anybody had ever come across a large class of the kind stated there might be soim reason for regarding frivolity as a national irait. Individuals, no doubt, can here and there be found whom momeiHarv prosper! v may drive inti extent ional expenditures, but they are not numerous enough to make so large an impression on the currents .. .a- oa iWed. Thev are for the most part speculators who spend asonicklvas they make, but they e. . - inconsiderable part of KM 111 "'J . . . - the American people. If the time which has elapsed since . i.,. ooiiLmpnt of the country has tnc Di i - brousrt out any national tendency clearlvit is that of carefulness and thrift. Many giasp for more than they can retain, and in this way come to irrief. But thoughtless extrava gance is something that is entirely ihtM national mind. There is more self poise and breadth of idea than the industrial axiom which we are considering allows. But for all that it has become almost venerable by the frequency of its application Tr ! rpcrnlarlv triven ai airine when -" " - l r-t the volume of imports begins tvi in crease, no matter what may be th real cause. No one seem to olj.-ei to the people neing relegated to the position of infants who have no thought for the morrow. No one has ever thought of resenting the idiocy which, by implication, is s ught to be stamped on the national character. Additions to the imports are ordin arilv referable to economic facts of a different order. It is not disputed that more foreign luxuries may In- consumed in times of business activi ty than when stagnation prevails But imports usually expand when we are selling Innids of various kinds to Europe, and when the conditions of exchange and freight are favorable. Further, we are more subject to " booms" than any other civilized nation. These " booms" are usually of the same nature. They are trace able to some manipulation of the currency which is but imperfectly understood. They were almost drunk with prosperity on the other side of the mountains at the very time when the life blood of industry was flow ing out as a consequence ot the d pieciation of the currency. The "booms" is rather an evidence of the speculative spirit in commerce than of the childish exiravagance of the people. There is a rush to get in on the "boom" at low figures, whieh, of course, stimulates imports largely. Hie people require a certain amount of foreign an ielex during the vear. On a rising market there is always a temptation to lay these ar tides up in larger quantities than are needed for immediate consumption, If the rise keeps on il will be likely Co more than pav the cost of storage and interest. The people with some extra cash in their pockets and crazy to let it fly are not factors at all in the problem. If any one should come across a genuine specimen of this alleged variety, it would pay to exhibit him. It is commercial spec ulation with which we have to deal, and not a nation of silly spendthrifts. Of course if the " boom" is short and it certainly cannot be prolonged beyond the canse which produced it, it there is no tampering with the measures, many fingers are sure to get burned. The "boom" ot the present year was traceable to the increased demand tor breadstuff from Europe in consequence of crop failures there. No doubt it had moral effl cts far beyond the material. It put heart again into the people uazeu ny the seeming ram which re sumption was causing all around. But lor all that it could have no such run as former booms."

TAKINQJANDS. A Bill to Aid Settlers to Choke off Jumpers and Speculators. Washington, March 10. The bill passed by th- senate yesterday for the relief of homestead settlers is a measure of great im portance to a very large number of settlers on the Pacific Coast. It was originally in troduced by Booth, and his persistent efforts procured its passage, both in the public land committee and in the senate. Under the existing law the right ot pre-emption on public land attaches from the date of settle ment, but the rijht of a settler under the the homestead law only from the date of the entry. This bill provides that the land shall be given to the first settler, whether he claims it as pre-emptor or as a home 8teader. Senator Booth said on this point "There is no reason why the right of homestead settlers should not relate back bv his alleging the date of his settlement in his homestead amdavit, and the fact that t set tier now, lie fore the survey, has no oution but must claim under the pre-emction law in order to cut under intervening settlers or grants. Many settlers nave already used tneir pre-emption right, and are now, at though in possession of valuable improve ments, entirely at the mercy of intervening pre-emptors, or railroad grants. The bill next provides that the first set tler upon an abandoned homestead entry snau nave a preference right to acquire title to it after the original entry is cancell ed, and the last section substitutes for the present roundabout and dilatory method of canceling reunqueshed homesteads and tun ber culture entries in the general land office, the common sense provision that such re liuquishments shall be effectual as soon as they are hied m the local land office. Booth, in explaining this section, said : " The relinquishments are nearly always made as the result of purchase of the im provements (j some person who is looking for a homestead, and if the cancelation were immediately noted, he bv reason of his be ing a party in the matter, would be able to enter before any one else; hut as long as cancellation in such cases are made as at present, he has no advantage by reason of such purpose, for in the interval it becomes widely Known in the neighborhood and at the land office that the claim to that tract has been relinquished, and all the jumpers ami speculators of both localities are imme diately on the alert to ascertain in advance of every one else the manner of the cancel lation. This desire is no small source of corruption in the local land offices, and re porting cancellations hy telegraph which eoes by mail, forms a considerable part of the pusiness oi some land attorney s in this city Prot,ificnkb8 op thk Oyster. Dr. Brooks of Johnsons Hopkins Uni versity made some extended exiieri ments last summer in a Maryland oyster town, and proved to his own satisfaiM ion .that American oysters do not breed their young within thi shell and that their eggs can be ter tilized art ifieiallv in the same manner as those of the fish. The eggs of tin oyster are uihiiilesxiiiia! in siw, of different Irregular si apes am) have a dear spot in the center, an averagi oyster eon'. amino from six to nitii million eggs, while some of the larger ones contain as niauv as fifty million each. The plan pursued in fertilizing the egg is to chop the male and fe male oy-'ers up together and thus the fluids are mixed and the impreg nation made complete. Immediately the process of development begins nd goes on so rapidly that a change can be noted every 15 seconds. In a very few hours the embryo is suffi ciently formed to swim in the water. The shells at first are very small and are not adjacent to each other. They grow very rapidly, closing down over the sides, and finally nnite and form the hinge. In the short time of 24 hours the young oyster is able to take food, and in from three days to 1 ; n - - a weeK ii. an a ins perfect form. Uur ing its early life it is a swimming an imal. At one time he had as manv as half a million embryonic oysters in a watcn crystal, ur. Brooks stated that the reason why oysters were not good during the months without the R was because the female oyster was full of eggs, which were verv nerish- able and died rapidly when the oys ters were long out or water, but it eaten as soon as caught, the oyster was as good in snmmer as any time.

Oregon. Rosebnrg will celebrate the coming Fourth of July in good style. Scio people had a ball on the occasion of the candidates holding forth there. All the members of the graduating class of the State University passed the examinations. A Yonng Men's Christian Association has been organized at Hills boro, with C. T. To zier president. An exchange softly says of a detaulter, "He admits a gap of $2,000 between him self and creditors." Judge Perham's son, who was accidental ly shot last month, died lately at his home at Hood river. Preparations for the Pioneer reunion are complete and extensive, and a "grand, good time" is anticipated. Mrs. M. J. Thorn, of Canyonvilie, has raised ripe oranges on a tree she has, and it now has green fruit and blossoms on it. The Brownsville Woolen Mills are again running, the dam having been repaired. rsew machinery has been added. The house of Isaac Cramm, near Glencoe, burned sometime since, during his absence, and his family are left destitute. Citizens of Mohawk valley are enjoying ripe strawberries, but are grieving because their blackberry vines are killed. A daughter of Henry Fitzhugh, Lake- view, took a ht and tell into the tire, and had her leg badly damaged. The pioneer reunion, on the 15th mst.. promises to he verv interesting, and will doubtless attract hundreds to Portland. Pacific University this vear will graduate but one student, and the junior class con tains but three. However, the preparatory classes are fair-sized. Last year about $50,000 was paid to hop- pickers in Puyallup valley, and this year, owing to greater acreage, the sum win, it is thought, be fully $10,000 more. The American ship Wildwood, the first of the fleet bearing railroad iron, which sailed from Sew York f ebruary Uth, arrived in Astoria 3d inst., 115 days out.

A girl who was going to be married at French town. Union county, changed her mind and wouldn't budge for anybody, and that was after all things were sent and the justice waiting. Allman and Brugger, neighboring farm ers, near Readsville, each shot the other's dog. A personal encounter followed which resulted in one of the parties being brought before the courts charged with assault with a deadly weapon. The Indians are reaping a rich harvest in the vicinity of Umleute, by catching fur seals. The profits of one day's work fre quently reaches $20 per man. The skins are worth from $3 to $10 each, according to size and quality. Roland Flournoy. one of the oldest settlers of this county, was drowned in the Umpqua river on Tuesday last. He attempted to ford the stream at Evelyn's mill, when his horse got beyond his depth, and in trying to guide it his saddle slipped from under him and he was carried away with it. Western Star: Manufacturers and wool operators in this State are bidding down the price of the raw material, and in conse quence the market has a somewhat dicour aging look. Holders are sanguine of the prospects in the future, and show no indica tion of uneasiness. We have heard of sev eral lots of wool in Roseburg being sold at 25 cents. A fellow in Roseburg having read a Mor mon prophesy, that the world would come to an end on the first of June, fortified him self with a lot of spiritual invigorator and kept vigils till the morning of the doomed day. But at the peep of dawn, he got dis couraged, cocked his eye at the vanishing stars and concluded to go to bed, ejaculat ing ' Let her rip. Astnrian : The little steamer Cleveland arrived here yesterday morning, having in tow two ot apt. .Nelson's barges loaded with 40,000 brick and a large amount of stone to be used in the construction of the lillamooK rock lighthouse. Hie stones are faced and numbered, each one ready to fill its allotted place in the building. They were quarried near Jiast ForMand. Last Friday, says the Salem Talk, while two prisoners at the penitentiary were mak ing a fence, each having hold of a rail at the ends, and upon throwing it down, the light end rebounded, striking one of the prisoners, a young man named Romer, in the temple, knocking him down. He was taken to the prison, wheie he lay in an unconscious state until the next morning, when he died. Twin daughters of Wm. Bonham, living near Mount Vernon, Grant county, aged three and a half years, while gathering flow ers near their home fell over a precipice. One of the children was killed and the other seriously, perhaps fatally, injured by the fall. They were found by the distracted mother several hours after the dreadful ac cident. The little twins were pretty and winsome and the pet of the neighborhood. Nicholas Bills, who so inhumanly butcher ed bis wife on Mosier creek, Wasco county, on Monday afternoon escaped to the Dalles, where he secreted himself until Tuescfly night, when he ended the tragedy by blow ing out bis brains.

HORRIBLE WIFE MURDER. The Dalles Times ot the 1st inst, contains the following accowtt of a horrible wife murder near that city,; Yesterday afternoon a boy came ridim? to town as last as bis Dorse could carry him, and brought the laiuful news that JN icnoias mils nau killed his wife. The particulars, as uear as we could learn them, are as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Bills had not lived together for some years, the former residing here with his younger children and the latter in the east. Lately Mrs. Bills came out lo Ore gon lor the purpose of seeing her ami v Mc naa ueen siouuintr ai her dauahter's Mrs. Robert Din more about twelve miles from this citv. near the Sandy wagon road About two months ago, when she first came out here, she and Mr. Bills had a quarrel. An elder brother had left the uu tenia! root some time ago. and was staying with his sister, Mrs, Oinsmore. J lie tatfier was so cross that the young man thought he could do heller away from home, lnere were three children at home Jacob, 16 "ears old. a irirl 12, and the youngest, a boy of 10. On the morn mi ot the trauedv.

After eating dinner, Air. Bills went down to Dins more's house and came back and got his shotgun and bowiekuile, and again oroc eded lo Dinsniore's house, im mediately on entering he shot hi wife twice in the stomach and Iheti slabbed her with the knite. it was done so suddenly that the inmates had no time to interfere. The elder brother grabbed the shotgun out of his father s hand and clubbed it over his head. The father immediately fled. Our informant was the sou of the murdered and murderer, who ar rived in town about 4 o'clock, having lett Mr. Dinsinore s bouse about 2 He was in such an excited stale that it was in-possible to learn any definite particulars He said as he left be saw his sister washing the body of her murdered mother. A warrant was immediately issued for the arrest of Bills, and the sheriff sent one ot his deputies in pursuit. Up to the time ol going to press no arrests had been made. The following is a description of Bills : About 50 or 60 years of age. 6 feet 1 inch in height, high chee nones, weighs anoul ldO pounds, n beard or whiskers, face kept smooth ly shaven, dark blue eyes and speak tair Ingush. second uhildhood. The univer sal theory that chid hood steals to us again, in the arms of old age. is wel exemplified in the case of "Old lady Schumpt, mother ot Ueo. Schumpl of this place. The old lady still in fair physical health, has passed her eighty-first year, and bears unmis takable traces of early beauty and vigorous womanhood. Isow she is, intellectually, a mere child.

And who dare tell us, that the pleas ures ot childhood are not sweeter, purer, better than all the achieve ments of after life ? Oregon Sentinel. S0FT-HANDEDPRINTERS. It was a well-to-do farmer, owning a collide thousand aero and count less flocks, from whom we solicited a subscription recently.

We looked into the man's face sun! understood his motive. A spark ofJ human kindness could no more have' lived in his cold, glassy eye than a spark of fire in the heart of a North 1 ern iceberg. Although his pockets were heavy with coin his face was pinched and the lines hardly drawn into a pitiable expression of want it was the face of a miser. We look I ed at the man's heart, and it was a bloodless, shapeless thing, hardened and crystalized by contact with tin dollars that he had hugged to it, it had no pulse that beat a ith a single throb of human sympathy ; it was something that the love of wife could never penetrate, a thing that the af fection ot childhood can never quick en into kindly emotion. We venture to say that this man never contribut ed the value of a shingle to a church edifice or a public charity, or gave a penny to a public school except upon compulsion. He will die alone, un mounted by wife or child or friend or neighbor, and we do not envy him the small amount of a subscription. Let him keep it. It will add another pang to his bitter agony when called on to part with Tiis golden idol; it will be another morsel for vultures who will tear his hoard to pieces cursing him that he did not die sooner and leave them more, and in the place wh?re that infinitesimal quan tity, called his soul, will find no rest, he will not be troubled with the presence of " soft-handed printers."

It is a most agreeable dressing, which fs at once harmless and effectual, for pre serving the hair. It restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use thin hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all eases where the glands are not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable. The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of the humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair, The Vigor is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence. rasfiSSD bt Or. J. C.
