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

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.
