Newspaper Page Text12; mm mm gazette. Oorvallis, June 24, 1881. -EDITED BY- YANTIS & WOODCOCK, ATTORNEYS AT LAW. !),-FICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COurtTY PORTLAND AND THE OREGCNIAN In the Daily Orejonian of he 17th Inst., Ln a contrilmted article emitted "The Ileal Estate Market," We find the following unkind com ments: "The Yaquina Railroad Co. is retorted to have floated its bonds in New York. Some wlio are well acquainted with Yaquina Bay, inform us that au enormous expense will be required to Mali e it an available shipping port. Be that as it may, we have no fear 1 hat it will Work any harm to Portland Concentrated wealth and well cemented t cmiaemal ties are hard things to move or t. fight, and Portland has both. Possibly if a number of capitalists would unite and rpend a hundred millions in building up .-.r.other city at some point on the sound, i r even at Yaquina Bay, with another hun dred millions to make tbo chosen site afrail i i'le, a real rivalry might arise-" It is a common thing to find com i . nts like the above appearing in v- i-lolumns of the Oregonian some 1 :;ie? in its editorials and at Other ! tinea contributed by others of the i g under the disguise of newp, and ii! .ny times mingled with other mat ters under an inappropriat title like the one under consideration. This class of individuals among the whole lot ot them do not appear to entertain "a single i3ea concerning public improvements in the state ex cept the same is to be made at Port land. In fact they neither advance or have any ideas concerning public mprovtmenls for the benefit of the whole state at large but amon them the single idea appears to be common and that is only about Portland. If a piece of improvement is suggested to be done in any other part of the stat2 the Oregonian which is taken and supported by all classes in all lo calities in place of pursuing a thor ough public spirited course as it should do its ostensible editor or some of the ring who pretend to con tribute news in the place of inquiring and considering whether or not such improvement will be for the general benefit of onr young and growing fcJate the first question they propound is. Will such improvement if finish ed injure Portland? "No we have no fear that U will woik any harm to Portland." And then she will strike at the contemplated public enterprise a back handed lick probably by say ing that "some who are well acquaint id with Yaquina Bay" (aud who nev er saw it and who probably are iufln euced by Portland (fpital in the in terest of the ling) "'inform us that an enormous expense will be required to make it an available shipping port;" such a course by a public newspaper which claims-to be published in the interest of 'he public enerallY contemptible. An orjran which claims to be a state paper should rise aoove individual interests and should in quire into advocate and endeavor to promote first the interests of the state at large and then interests of different localities. We think we can safely speak for the other portion of the state in this that they do not wish Portland any haim but on the contrary they want her to continue to advance in impor tance as it has done heretofore, but while they cnteitain this commenda ble feeling toward Portland, they de sire to eve other portionsof the state advance in proportion, and while it is not probable that other localities will advanoe equal in proportion to Port and on account of the concentrated capital there to assist her, yet we do think that it is for the interest of the whole state as well as Portland that other localities should be improved and grow to importance. How would it appear to the passing stran ger to see Portland like the stall fed calf, pampered to unusual propor tions, while other portions of the state dwindled into insignificance or remain without having a correspond ing amount of improvement. Such a state of aftairs would without doubt be charaoteiized as unwise by every sensible man. The course of ihe Oregonian adopted in trying to retard the prog ress of all other portions of the stale in order to sustain Portland if it speaks ot tnese matters as conveying the sentiment of Portland, it puts us in mind of the unfaithful boy who had been fed, sustained and reared in luxury and affluence by bis tco fond parents until he had arrived at the age of majority, after which he left the parental roof and treated with utter scorn and contempt those parents who had sustained him when with out it he would have perished. It has been sustained by all other parts ef the state from which their hard. earned savings have annually, flown in a continual stream for the last twenty five years into the tills of Portland the result of which is that Portland has grown to unusual pro portions compared with other parts of the state and now when other por tions dare think of improving their locality Portland, through the Orego nian, comes forward with unusual promptness to discourage and put a stop to nieh progress thus attempt ing to destroy the hands that have so long sustainad aud supported her. Wc confidently believe that the contemplated improvement com mencing at and extending from Ya quiua bay when completed will not in any way injure or retard the prog ress of Portland for the reason that it the proper condition of affairs ex ist all other portions of the 6tate in cluding Portland will increase in proportion and importance as well land while the Kail Road to Yaqu'na bay will nndoubtedly take away a large portion of the produce of Ore gon, yet the state with her over abun dant facilities for agriculture, manu factories and other industaial pur suits will undoubtedly improve to such an extent that Portland will still maintain her present commer cial importance and suffer no incon venience or harm on account of de velopments elsewhere. THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, CQR-VALLiS. The last days of May and first of June are set apart for the end of the College yerr. There are public ex hibitions given by the various class es, in which the pupils declaim and recite, to the admiration of numer ous audiences of their friends and ac quaintances. But to us th J more interesting part by far are the public examinations of of the advanced class in agricultural science. This year they had the added attraction of a committee of three members of the StateGrange of Patrons of Husbandry. An attack was made some months ago on the management of the College by a res ident in Marion count y, on the ground that is was wrongly named, and that it had no title to be called an Agri cultural College because of the gen eral and wide range of the studies. To this President Arnold and his colleagues replied that whilst they gave all the students the opportunity of improvement in general learning and literature, yet they paid special attention to the various'subjects bear ing on scientific farming, and they invited their assailant, in common with others, to attend this examina tion and judge for themselves. Hence the presence of the Grange Commit tee. The examination was held on the 27th of May, and lasted from early morning till late at night, with nec essary intervals for refreshment. The senior class, of about 16 or 19 students were called cn in turn, and read essays, aud were examined in various subjects, such as rotation of crops, tre chemical constituents of various soils, manures aud' fertilizers, draining, green crops and grasses, :he comparative values of different farm products, the distinctive peeuli- arit es and appropriate treatment of various breeds of horses, cattle and sheep. Tne audience coutained a good many farmers, who had the op portunity given them, and used it free ly, of putting searching questions so the Btodc uts. The answers given show ed a very fair knowledge of the sub jects, and demonstrated that the teachers studied the great art of mak ing their pupils think and reason, as well as learn by rote. When the ex amination was concluded Messrs. Miato and Bewick, two of the visit ing committee, rose in turn to ex press their satisfaction at . what they had seen and heard. It must have been very gratifying to the Profes sors that these unprejudiced judges, chosen as representative farmers, who showed their sense of the impor tance of their mission by coming long distances from their homes to fulfill it, should speak as they did. It was equally gratifying to those of the au dience who took a real interest in the success of the College to bear the hearty expression ot the desire of the President andhis colleagues to ac cept from these practical men any suggestion calculated to still farther improve the course of learning pur sued. We bold a strong impression that the Agricultural College is doing a good work, and we would urge the Professors to continue to use every effort to make agricultural science attractive to the students. Oregon Colonist. The genius who invented wooden tooth-picks for hotel use has made over $50,000. The Supreme-court of the United States haa decided that parties buy ing policies of insurance upon tbo live of individuals can only claim the amount of money actually due to them out of the policy. Any excess collected from a company can be re covered in a court of law by the heirs of the person insured. This decision, recently rendered, is a matter full of interest for parties who are in the speculative life insurance business. This little game, it would seem, has its limitations as a matter of profit. If the heirs ot deceased persons whose lives have been heavily insured, do not take advantage of their opportu nities they are not the style of heir to which the country is accustomed. Tie San Francisco papers describe a dangerous count;ifeit in circulation in that city, and as it is likely they may be put in circulation here, we give the description. It is a five-dol-I r piece that bears the date of 1869, and at a casual glance seems as well milled as the genuine product of the mint, the impression on both sides being sharp and well defined. Its ring closely resembles that of gol A slight scratch betrays the fact that the bogus piece is gold plated on some white metal some-what harder then silver. In a very short time the plating wears off on the edes, exhib king the counterfeit. A close in spection ot the stars will betrav the piece, as they are larger and not as mathematically accurate as those on the genuine. When new the bogus coin will deceive anyone but an expert. A South Carolina plantation is to receive Chinese laborers from San Francisco by way of experiment. They are to be sent there under the watchful supervision of an overseer, who is to see to it that none of them take advantage of having their ex penses paid to the Atlantic states to slip away and settle down among their countrymen in one of the large cities. If they prove desirable labor ers others will probably follow. The Servia, the latest great Cunar der, is 530 feet long, with a burden ot 8,500 tons. Her engines are ex pected to work up to 10,500 horse power, and it is expected that she will make 20 miles an hour, or from Liverpool to New York in a week. She is built of steel throughout, and has an inner hull five feet from the outer one. Another very destructive fire vis ited Quebec on the night of the 9th. Eight hundred buildings in the principal streets were destroyed. Losses five lives, and -$2,000,000. Several remarkable whirl winds were caused by the fire. Men were in some cases lifted off their feet. On the lower field,whcre most of the burnt out people has cammed with their saved goods, the fire followed the unfortunates and burnt up most of the goods piled on the grass. Burniug shingles fell over the city and as far out as Maple avenue, ou ing the night, endangering every" part of town. Several incipient fires in differeut streets were suppressed by Lhe vigilance of their occupants. A telegram states that a hundred persons were killed ar.d six injured by an eartbqnaka which recently de vastated a number of villages in the passalic of Ean, Armaria, Turkey. Disastrous storms are repoited in ihi Northwest; also in Kansas, in southwestern Missouri, and in Penn sylvania and the east. There will be three more hydrants put up at the shops, making twenty in all. The Good Templar Lodge of this city will join with the shop boys in celebrating the Fourth. Road Master Shaw put on three more gangs of section men this week making 35 sections in all. Two immense 10,000 gallon tanks have been made ot the car shops dur ing the week for Walla Walla. About 10,000 rails have been ship ped to the front during the present month, for the differeut extensions of the O. R. & N. Co's. road. A conductor and three colored por ters for the new Pullman sleepers have been in )'n for a number of days. They were sent from the east to tike charge ot the cars on this road. There is not an express office in Grant county; hence the mail bass are used for the transportation of all valuables. Grant county lias 10 postofficea, and perhaps no other county in East ern Oresron receives the amount of mail matter that Grant does. Two of the new Palace Pullman coaches for the O. R. & N. Company have arived at The Dalles and will be nlaced on the road without delay. We notice by the Boise Democrat that the advance gnard of immirr;i tion has reached that lace on its way to Oregen. Several wagon loads of people camped there last week. A notice is posted up around town calling for 200 men to work on the Dayton extension of the O. R. & N. Co's. road. Wages $2.50 per dey. Men enough cannot be obtained to push the work ahead as rapidly as desired. Our Willow creek neighbors were visited last Friday with a hail storm that for a time threatened to tear up generally. The hial stones were the size of walnuts, and fell in such pro fusion, that with the accompanying rain, the whole section of country was in twenty minutes covered with water to the depth of three inches, and the hail was washed from the side hills into the creek, ton upon ton.
