ffEEKLV mnim num. Corvallis, JunelO, 1881. Yantis fe Woodcock, Editors. OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY THE YAQUINA RAILROAD. tr the last two weeks the "Ben ton Blade" lias departed from the course of silence it has followed for a year past and more, on this suliject, and has taken on itself the part of Shimei, who cast stones and cursed. The trange feature of these articles was that ihey betrayed a different origin than the pen of the responsi ble editor and publisher. No one who knew him, and the whole city is familiar with him, gave him credit for either the will or the power to write sentences calculated to sting, intended to wound, and fit to be transplanted into the congenial soil of the Oreronian. It has been our painful lot during the last twelve months to read in the badly spelled, and Worse printed columns of the Benton Blade, the contributions of several, more or less live Democrats : and the style and working of these volunteers has be traved each in turn. But these rail road articles we confess we could not rightly place. True it is, more the pity, that petty politicians will de scend to anything. True it is that spite, spread over a course of years, and intensified by failure' after failure to injure' the hated object, will vent itself in strange ways, and will not stop to ask whose windows will be broken by the shower of mud it ftfrigfsV But we confess freely that we cannot see what possible good any aspiring, and conspiring democrat, could hof e to get by falling foul of the management of an enterprise like the railroad in question. If a writer like this, who takes care to hide' his' name and parentage, when he slips by stealth into the edi torial chair of the poor. Blade, had sense enough and courage enough to say in plain words what he tries to insinuate and hint he could be dealt with and answered. But' who can take in this stuff about texts and themes, and the bleeding of General Washington, and sanguinary fields, and victims and calliopes. What every one saw was just this, that no matter by what in ducements, no one can say by what means, a Benton county journal was got to publish a collection of all the stupid gossip that is sure to hang about the skirts of every enterprise that takes time to come to comple tion, and that, as was fully expected, the Oregonian picked up the article and republished it, to do what harm it could, on the principle that any stiok is good enough to beat a ("Ya quina") dog with. All this is too plain. No one is misled by the affectation of "public spirit" in making personal attacks. So far as this paper is concerned, it does not propose to enter on any match at mud slinging with the Blade. Let.the galled jade wince, our withers are nnwrunr. For many years past our conrse has been one ol faith in the future of Ya- qYtina Bay, confidence in the com pletion of the railroad, earnest sup port of all who are loyally trying in the face of many obstacles, to achieve a success so important to the people of the state. We have not seen any evidence of dishonest pur pose in the management who are spending their own and not the peo pie's money, their own and not the people's time and labor. For, be it remembered, that for every dollar contributed, the fullest value has been shown, and yet is here before our eyes. Wo are quite sure that the Orego nian will not republish this article. The Boston Herald says. The German Republicans of New York have adopted, in their opposition to Senator Gonkling, the principle of action laid down by Postmaster-Gen eral James in his war against the! star-route frauds "to'fight a system, not men." Mr. Dittenheofer, a lead ing German of the city, in supporting 'the resolutions adopted by the com' mittee upholding the President, spoke iri'admirhg terms of Mr. Con klfags abrfities, but denounced his methods. As a political leader, he said the ex-senator had been despot ic and unrelenting, and had crushed out all independence of thought orao tion in the organization. The Ger mans hd enough op this sort of ''leadership" at home, and do not take kindly to bossism in America. AMERICAN SHIP building. The past year has developed the fact to the people of Oregon, that the shipping interests bf the United States are of more than ordinary im lortacce to her prosperity. Oregon last year with the largest crop of ce reals ever raised, on account of scar city of shipping had to dispose of and send to foreign lands', her im mense crop at prices which left the producers financially in no better con dition ihan when they commenced to cnltivote the soil for the year's crop. Such i condition of affairs is wrong. The price of wheat in foreign mar kets since last harvest has been at figures which would have given pro ducers here a handsome profit had not such excessive rates been d -mantled for tonnage. A large majority of ships, upon which our crop has been transported, to foreign markets, have been of lor eign register. This undoubtedly suggests to tin refleclingmiiid, that the United States is loosing her once enviable position among nations when she bid fair, to be mistresf of the the seas. While the United States was only in her infancy, the nations of the old world were jealous of the position which she was then gaining in the carrying trade of the world. But from some cause, since that time, herenvirable, position in that res pect has dwindled into insignificance when compared with the advance ment she has made .n every other particular. There is no good reason why there should not be as many or more sea going vessels sailing under the Amer ican flag, than of any other country. This important industry should be encouraged to a much greater extent than it has been heretofore. Our Senators and representatives in Con gress should thoroughly investigate this important matter and when they hare found where the fault lies, they should enact such reasonable meas ures as will encourage our American people to engage more extensively in ship-building at home. And if they find it neccessary they should also pass any necessary reg ulations to induce more of our own countrymen to engage in navigation with Ship sailing mider the Ameri can flag. If Congress would pursue such a course it would no doubt have the effect to greatly increase the num ber f American sea-going vessels and thereby furnish 'a strong competition in the carrying trade to foreign porls. Aftd thin! operate aft a means of reducing the present exhorbitant rates of tonnage to a reasonable com pensation. We do not wish to be un derstood to mean that unless some ac tion by Congress or otherwise' is ta ken to relievf this exorbitant tax on producers, by paying that high rates of tonnage, will be demanded each year. But we mean to say that unless the tonnage of the world is made equal to the demand for carry ing capacity, that such exhorbitant freights are likely' to be demanded of us at any tirnA- President Garfield's cabinet' is the first one since the war which has not contained a soldier Dnring the present! week we have heard it. stated on the street and in various political circles, that Wallis Nash, Esq., Was one of the owners' of the Gazette, and this same state ment has been at least hinted at by some individual to fame and fortune unknown who sits behind the curtain in the editorial department of the so- called Democratic paper of this city and copies Villard's railroad edito rials prepared in Portland and pub lished here in opposition to the Ya quina railroad. In replv to these statements we tKOSt emphatically state that Mr. Nash, nor any other man outside of the advertised editors of the Gazette, ownes one dollars interest in the same. In short, the Gazette belongs to no one but its advertised editors, and they belong to no one, and certain persons may yet learn that we are not afraid to use the freedom of the press. We have in the past, and intend in the future, to advocate every enterprise that tends to the improvement of Benton county, the Yaquina Railroad included, and any man who will not is unworthy of the privilege of liv ing in Benton county ; furthermore, we propose to advocate what we be lieve to be right without fear of or dictation from any man or set of men The Mormon atithorities are count ing upon an immigration of converts this season to the number of three thousand five hnndred. A good deal of missionary work is being attempt ed in the soot hern states, with pros pects of great success. The steam ship Wyoming-art ived at New York on Thursday with 200, and more are to follow. Editors Gazette. I see by a communication in the last issue of your paper that the assessor is still "upon his ear" because he was criti cised for the very unfair and misera ble way that he is assessing the peo ple. This is hot a personal matter but concerns every tax-payer in the county. As a reason for complaint I will give a few examples of the bad asscsfing done, so the public can be the jutfge as to whether ii is right or wrong to call a public officer to ac count for his acts. Mr. John Foster who owns one of the best farms in the" county was as sessed at from 1.25 to $7 per acre. Arch Johnson who owns1 another valuable tract of land was assessed at $5.50 per acre. The land on both of these places is worth at least $22 per acre. The Marion Fcister place near by on tlie in II was assessed at I0 per acre. Wallace Post was assessed at $12 per acre, while Warren Starr who owns a very valuable tract tff land vas.a8sessed at $10 an acre. Starr's place is worth at least $30 an acre. Sam Davis; Tessey Walker, Per man Henderson, and Joe Morrison" place, owned now by Mrs. Henkle, were all assessed at $12 per acre. It would take at least three acres of this land to be. worth as much as one acre, of the land first mentioned: The Trapp place near town, and one of the best farms in the county, was assessed at $15 per acre, William Wyatt owns the place now. The most casual observer cannot fail to see the injustice of this kind of assessing, i he assessor ought to do better work than this or quit the field and let some one whe is better qualified than himself assess the county. We have a good Sunday School in our community and I have no need to go to Philomath to learn how to bring a public officer to account for not doing his work properly. The people are disposed to look over small blunders but when they get so large as this it is sure to attract at tention. Now if onr assessor would go to school'for ten years and study the valuation of property thoroughly he might make a competent assessor. 1 desire this controversy to stop here unless Mr. Skipton demands pi oof, in that case I can bring forth sufficient evidence to substantiate every word that I have said in the matter. Lee Hexkle. Muddy, June 8, 1881. The Arkansas democracy, like that of Tennessee, is going to pieces on the question of state finances. The democrats of the southern states, hav ing begun repudiation with entire unaniity, afe quarreling as to when and how to stopit. In Virginia two factions of repudiators are attacking each other with a fierceness excelling that which when united thev exhib ited towards a common foe. In its desperation one faction comes out squarely for the doctrine of eqnal rights to all without distinction of race 6f color. In Tennessee the quarrel was so managed that the re publicans elected their governor, and the state creditors have made a bet ter arrangement than the most san guine among thsrivever dared to hope for. They have received a low inter est bond, with the coupons receivable for taxes. Iir Arkansas troubles are increasing, and threaten to culminate in a grand fight over repudiation. Work has begun in earnest on the Oregon extension of the Union Pa cific. The starting point is Granger just west of Green river. An Ug- den paper reports that a train of twenty-five cars left that place a, few days since, carrying 175 horses, 100 men and forty wagons, to work on the Oregon extension from Granger. The line k says, now presents a very lively appearance, with the hundreds of men and teams which are now working on the grade. Rails and material are being piled up at Gran ger, ready for use as soon as the grade is in condition for track laying. The track layers will soon bagin their work. Ex. Should Peru, as' proposed, be" an nexed to Chili, the result would be thepnost remarkably shaped nation on the face of the globe something after the style of an early spring rad ish. Its extreme length would be 2,340 miles, and its average breadth for over two-thirds of this distance not more than 120 miles little else than a strip of sea coast walled in upon the east by continuous moun tain ranges.
