mm win tins GAZETTE. Corvallis, April 29, 1881. OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY a. CAETKK. HOW NOT TO DO IT. When the Court House at Albany was full ol farmers and grangers, rrady, nay eager, to do wha ever was pointed out to them as likely to assist in the great work ot opening out for the Valley its own independent route to the great world beyond, a certain gi'ntleman who professed to attend the invention as a representative o Ben ton county rose to give adv ice to flfit; h i Hence so directly contrary to the object for which the meeting waacall--! t igetlier, that it seems to call for ex'rn.t: on one hand, and to de-in.-md some comment on the other. Whit sort of a speech was it that he nit-le? The essence of it, stripped of sme interesting information as to his 0 ow n birth and parentage, was to say ti the farmers of this valley: tillers of th- soil you are, tillers of the soil you mi-. remain; and so keep your eyes wel! down in the mud, and raise no thoughts, no efforts to anything what ever outside your own snake fences. Take what providence sends you in the way d imDiovement, but lilt no finger, s-t no signature, spend no mo mentof time or cent of money to aid in any public work whatever. If we are correctly informed, the speaker was only justifying his own consistent coarse of conduct. It would be interc epting to know by what influences this farmer, pure and simple, had been dragged from the retirement of his own acres into the center of that active, excited crowd. Most men if they are unwilling ei ther from principle or circumstances, to join their neighbors for a public end, will at least stand by with friend ly wishes for their friends' success. if they will not or can not put their own shoulder to the wheel, they wil at !e8t cheer; hose on who are stri vim; and- pushing at the loa3. But some there are who find a perverse pleasure in putting stones in the way and if they can but succeed in stop ping the cart in the mud: "I told yon how it would be," they cry: Why on earth can't you let things alone, or it yon must stir, wait till I give the word. Fortunately sueri- men are few, very few. And when the cart dot move, as it always does sooner or Utter, it they don't clear out of the way, they get very quickly pushed aside and forgotten.. Katurally what the convention re solved ou was all to the good : the friends of the enterprise see how' res olute the valley is in the support ot the work the Corvallis Gazette has advocated so long. By all means let us have the peti tion to Congress and work heartily to make it so strong, so numerously signed, as to demand attention to its prayer. It will doubtless do good. If the committee which has been nominated see that a farther effort is necessary, in the direction that the Linn County Grange were prepared to work, they will tell us so, and their voice will command our efforts. We hear from the Bay that the present appropriation will last about four months yet, possibly a little longer. Therefore there is time to act again if action it necessary. In another column we print an af fidavit as to the depth of water and the condition of the entrance to the Bay, that we trust will help to con firm any who may yet be disposed to doubt. But with what force does it prove the utter, we had well .nigh written the criminal folly of the acci dent that cost three men their lives. Here we have a harbor with twenty feet of water on its entrance at high water, and with twelve teet at one. east of the lead only at but two hours flood. The channel we know, and here it is sworn that it is well defined, nnd plain, easy to find and to keep. The U. S. Eengineers are at work ; they know the channel just as well as one ofour readers know the main street of this town ; a little patience in waiting would have brought off a ca pable pilot. But as the unfortunate captain's mind had been stuffed with tales of the dangers of the Yaquin. , and as has been, well said, he neg!e( t -d surveyed ranges and channels in fa vor of as wretched Hue of amateur buoys of lager beer kegs, and bis own life and the lives of two of his men pay the forfeit. In other days and -other seas hang ing was not thought too bad for those wretched criminals who by alse beacons aud feigned lights de coyed vessels to their doom on rocks and sands. But whoever save those false warnings to Captain Penm-l, which drove him and his men to their fate, seem to as to have been guilty of moral wrecking; their con wdmMi ought to carry a heavy bur den for years to come. DEATH OF PENPAL LANE. On Tuesday night, General Joseph Lane, the first Territorial Governor of Oregon, and a man who has occu pied a most important place in the state's history, passed away at the ripe aye of 80 years. His death has long been expected and it was no surprhdi to his4;Vieuds. Geti'l Lane was boi ii in North Carolina in 1801 and 1621 moved to Indiana, settling ou a farm in Vanderburg county. In 1822 he was retured to-the legisla ture; his representative. -c-arees, thence' forth, extending over 20 vears ; as Slate Senator audi member of the low er branch of the Indiana Legislature. At the breaking out of the Mexican war, in 1846, he resigned his Beat in the Indiana senate and volunteered as private soldier, but was at onee a pointtdjColonel by president Polk and soon afterwards commissioned Briga dier General. At the battle of Buena Vista, where he was wounded; he commanded the left wing of the American army. Oct. 9, 1857, at the head of 3000 men, he defeated Gen. Santa Anna at Huamautla. On the l9.h I e took Atlixa, losing only one man while the enemy lost 500. Nov. 22, Lane took the strongly for titled town of Mai. hie Mori, with a large quantit y of military munitions. He afterwards took Orizaba. On the 44th he defeated Gen. Jaruota at Te haulapan. At the couclusion of the war Lane was bieveted a Major Gen eral ot the U. S. army and in August, 1848, was appointed Governor of Oregon territory, from which office he was subsequently removed by presi dent Taylor. In 1851 Gen'I Lane was elected delegate to uongress, beating Gov. Gaines, and continuing to represent the territory until 1858, when, on July 7th he was elected to represent the new State of Oregon in the U. S. Senate, receiving 45 out of 50 votes in the Legislature. In I860 Joseph Lane was nomiuated by the National Democratic convention, at Baltimore, for the Vice Presidency on the ticket with Breckinridge and on the breaking out of the war was in sympathy with the doctrines of se cession. During the Indian war in Ilogue river valley he took an active part, having been unanimously ten. dered command of the forces opera ting against the Indians. General Lane filled every position honestly and well and any errors committed, even the fatal mistake of sympathi zing with the rebellion, were errors of judgment As a private citizen Joseph Lane leaves the unsullied rec ord of an honest man. The brave old veteran has answered the roll call of the Eternal an 1 may his rest be easy. The old soldier was laid to rest in the Masonic eumetery at Roseburg in the family vault just constructed, and to which the remains of his wife had been removed. There was a large at tendance from Salem. Albans. Cor vallis. Eugene City and Oakland, and there was a very large attendance from Douglass county. A very elo quent and impressive -oration was de livered by his old friend, ex-Senator J. W. Nesmith, who paid a fitting tribute to the memory of a man who hasfilied so large a space in Oregon's history. THEFCONVENTICN, YAQdNA BAL IMPROVEMENTS. A few days since six cow-boys, who were stopping at a ranch near San Simon, A. T., by mistake used a large quantity of arsenic instead of yeast powder in making bread. They mixed up enough poisoned dough to kill a regiment of soldiers, and then when baked ate of it with all their accus tomed heartiness. In a few moments they were stricken with a frightful agony. They swore, raved, rolled in the dust, and finally by a supreme ef fort succeeded in starting for town on their bare backed steeds thinking the Asiatic cholera had surely attacked them. Two of the boys fell by the way -side and stretched out to die ; the other four reached their destination an 1 did the same. But the immodei- atj qua:it'ty of arsenic worked the needed cure, and after the lapse of several painful hours the boys were able to quaff an extrordinary draught of whisky in honor of their salvation from dark, cold graves in the cattle covered hills. At Walla Walla, the county Audit or has paid the bounty on 1307 squir rel scalns turned in during the month of March this year. For a corres ponding time in 1880 there were 10,- 711 scalps, and farmers are delighted that the work of extermiaating these pests is almost ended. According to call, the Jfarmers ami citi zens of Linn and adjoining valley counties responded in large numbers to give ex pression of their willingness to further the proposed improvements now progressing at Yaquina Bay, and early in the day the streets we.e dotted here and there with lit tle groups, talking over the ohjects of the proposed meeting at the Court House. The general expression on the street was that the Willammette Valley must have another opening to the seaboard for its products, and was unwilling to pay 'exacting tribute to the monopoly that now dictates terms to the people in -a manner that is making it odious in the extreme. The best and quid est methods for accomplishing this object, upon which all were unanimous, were also topics of dismission, aud a warm interest was evinced by all. At about II o'clock, s. m. the meeting at the Court House was satSed to order and the proceeding were as follows: The meeting was called to order by H. C. Powell, Secretary of the Linn County Busi ues Council. R A. Irvine was elected chairman of the meeting, C. H. Stewart, Secretary, and J. H. Maine, Assistant Sec retary. Mr. Wallis Nash then read the following resolutions adopted at a late meet ing of the Linn County Council, in explana tion of the object of the meeting: Whereas, It appears that the $10,000 just appropriated by Congress- in support of the works for improving the Yaquina harbor en trance is not sufficient to provide for the vigorous prosecution o.f the works. And Whereas, The completion of the improve ment is an object of deep interest to the whole of the farming population of the Willammette Valley and especially to the farmers of Linn comity because of the lm portant influence of the improvement on the completion of the Oregon Pacific railroad conuecting the Willamette Valley with la quinna Bay. And Whereas, This council deems it desirable at this juncture to make a public united ef fort in aid of this object. Therefore Resolved, That steps be taken by this council to call a public convention ot the farmers of the valley counties at Albany within the next 21 days to adopt such steps as may appear best to prove the public in terest in this object and to contribute to its attainment, and that measures be adopt ed to call the public attention and arous one common effort for this end. Aud Resolved, That a public convention for the above purposes of all interested be held at the Court bouse in Albany, on Thursday, April 21st at 10 a. m. H. C. Powell moved that a committe of seven be appointed to draft resolutions and present them to the convention for action thereon. Motion carried, and the following committee on resolutions were appointed by the chairman: . Judge C. E. Monroe and Hon. Jas. Gingle, of Benton county: Hon. S. A. Dawson and H. C. Powell, of Linn county; E. H. Bel linger, of Marion county; Hon. Harvey Shelton and F. M. Kizer, of Linn county. The meeting then adjourned until 1 o'clock, p. m.. when it was called to order by the chairman, who made a few remarks saying the meeting was in the interest of a great enterprise and one in which the peo pie of the whole valley should feel the deep est interest. He did not want the people to feel that it was a Granger meeting, but that it was in the interest of all, and he wanted everybody to feel free to take a part in it and help aloug the object for which it was called. The report of, the committee on resolu tions was then called for and the secretory read the following RESOLUTIONS: Whereas, This meeting recognizes th pressing need of developing and sustaining m honest competition tor both freights and passenger traffic, especially in the Willam ette valley, but also throughout the whole state of Oregon; and 'Whereas, This meeting is of the opinion that such competition can only be effectual by other ports being opened, and Whereas, This meeting adopts the prin ciple that it is a duty owed to the state of Oregon and to her increasing population to make all necessary efforts for these ends. Therefore be it , Resolved, That the improvement to the entrance of Yaquina Bay to an extent suf ficient, or the entry and departure of grain ships, and other larye ocean going crafts is a matter of the deepest interest to the peo ple of Oregon; that the convention has every confidence in the ability and willing ness of the United States government to grant us such relief; that we appreciate its action in the appropriations already made and ask that Congress make such additional appropriations as may be sufficient to com ple the work. That the thanks of this con vention are hereby tendered to Col. Gilles pie of the U. S. Engineers, and to our sena tors and representatives in congress for their services in obtaining the appropriations already made for the improvement of the bar at the mouth of Yaquina Bay, and Resolved, That this convention appoint a committee consisting of one person from Benton, Lane, Yamhill, Marion, Linn, and Polk counties for the purpose of drafting a petition, praying the government for ad ditional appropriations tor the improvement of the Yaquina bar, and that said committe be instructed to circulate the petition in ev ery Quarter of the counties mentioned, and in such other sections of the state as they s je tit, aud Resolved, That copies of the proceedings of this meeting be sent to t he valley press and New York papers for publication, and that coptes also be seut to our senators and representatives in congress. It was moved that the above resolutions be adopted as presented, and that they fairly represent the feeling of this meeting. Car ried. A motion was made asking that the resolutions be taken np separately and pass ed. It was not supported, and the resolu tions were adopted as read. Wall is Nash, of Corvallis, was then call ed upon and addressed the meeting at some length. He depicted in a clear and able manner the position of the people in this section, and said unless some effort' was made they would be entirely at the mercy of one gigantic monopoly that has already fastened itself upon the people of this state to such an extent that it can dictate to the producer the price of grain and every prod- act of the farm that the rates of transporta tion affect. He made a showing from their own statements of the vast wealth they were accumulating, and for which they were grinding thepeople to the last point of for bearance. He spoke of the manner in which they opposed any competition, aad claimed the whole northwestern territory as their own by right of pre-emption. The evils of such a monopoly are too plain not to be seen and felt by every citizen of the State, and it is time the people were alive too ganize methods of counterbalancing the dan ger. He gave a very interesting account of the progress of the work now going on at Yaquina Bay, and illustrated the description by maps. He pictured the benefit of im provements and ot a railroad from Yaquina eastward, sail called upon the -citizens of this valley to do all iu their power to fur ther the enterprise. Mr. Nash estimated the amount necessary to complete and put iu shape the harbor improvements at about $330,000. Senator W. R. Bilyou followed Mr. Nash in an Able manner, presenting the case hi several forcible ways and urging the necessity if prompt action. He referred to the rew ords . of the last legislature and the fight then made by the monopolists to defeat tin railroad bill iu the interest of the people. This he said was a fair example of the influ ences that are being and would be brought to bear against this movement, and In- thought it was time the people stood up for their rights. Judge Moore of Corvallis, discouraged the farmers from making any personal contrihu tions toward the enterprise, but thought best to rely wholy on petitioning emigres--. Hon. Ralph C. Geer, of Marion county, was then called and said that he w. s wholly in favor of the citizens of the valley making every effort, person il and thi swi. for the accomplishment of this object, which would give so much in return for the outlay demanded. He wanted to see the matter pushed and the work done and in a short time the advance in prices and general pros perity would more than repay the outlay. He had personally inspected the harbor, and his inspection was made at the request of a capitalist who had at one time thought of investing in the enterprise. Ae was thor oughly satisfied of the feasibility of the project in eyery particular. The mate ot the steamer "Alex. Duncan'' had told him that vessel had made the passage oftengand never had any difficulty. There had al ways been from 12 to 14 feet of water and the entrance was a very safe one. At the conclusion of Mr. Geer's remarks, the chair man adpointed the following gentlemen as a committe authorized by the resolutions to draft petition and to see to its proper cir culation. Hon John Whittaker, Lane county; Manly Carrier, Benton; Hon. Ralph C. Geer, Marion; Hon. Rob't Clow, Polk; Hon. W. R. Billyeu. Linn; Hon. J. C. Bra ley, Yamhill. The meeting then adjourned. R. A.

The citizens of Gold Hill are threat ened with the distract ion of their town. The ground is settling so rapidly as to crack the window-panes of the railroad depot house and other buildings. A crevasse in the neighborhood of Fort Homestead is constantly widening and the town is gradually sinking. In Mendieino county two weeks ago Samuel Piercy warned Peter Munson to cease visiting Piercy's two daugh ters. A few day since Munson went to the Piercy premises armed with a repeating rifle, and whistled. to attract attention. He got it. It was the old man's warning voice, followed by a shot which killed Munson instantly. Recently a paragraph went the rounds of the press, to the effect that a scoundrelly stage-d river who attempted to outrage a young lady passenger near Lewiston, I. T., had drowned himself in order to avoid capture. It is now known that instead of committing sui cide he was ferried across the river by an old man, whom he employed to de ceive the pursuing officers with a false report of his death, and that he suc ceeded in escaping to the northern part of Idaho, where he is still driving on a stage line.
