Word has been received from
Dongresiman M. C. George to the
effect that bill has passed congress
rhich reimburses the State of Ore

Rscent news from the clerk of the
board of state school land commis
sioners on the subject of reducing the
mount of security for the loan of
school funds, informs us that they
find no reason for modifying the rule
AS thoy have recently had to refuse
several good loans for lack of funds
and that they are entirely oat as" funds.
While at first we were inclined to
take the other view of the matter,
this certainly proves that the rule is
not too stringent.
jponrrs decided by the supreme court
OF OREGON.
The Supreme court of this state
bss decided: That a will ofany per
son can not be admitted in evidence
to support title to land founded up
on it until after such will has been
admitted to probate in the county
court and there proven to be the last
will of deceased in the manner pro
vided by law for wills to be proven.
Nearly all the other states which
have probate courts with exclusive
jurisdiction pertaining to the proof of
wills have held the same doctrine.
A promise made by one party
without a corresponding obligation
or promise made by the other pai-ty
ts void.
Where a title is derived through a
deed which is not reeorded""or ex
hibited to thejpurchaser, the title is
defective, and he is not compelled to
accept it.
A contract to mako a good and
sufficient warranty deed of
into power, desire to fill the places
with persona who will not only voJ.e
themselves, but influence the votes of
others. Women can do neither: they
are lamentably ignorant of the gfeat
art of ''setting 'em up for the boys,"
and setting "solid with the gang,"
and they must step down and out to
make room for the lords of creation
proficient in this necessary business"
Women will never be a srreat suc

A recent dispatch says: The
Times. Tribune and Herald lecture
Governor Cleveland on his first ap
pointments. The Times says: Th
troubles of .Cleveland have begun
before he has take possession of the
governor's chair. The removal of
pardon clerk of 12 years' experience
whom Cornell, the most chary of
governors in the matter of pardons
pronounced exceptionally well fitted
for-the position, has led to an unfav
orable comparison between the pro
fessions of tho governor and hi
course as foreshadowed in this earlv
ejercise bl-power. The appointee i
said to have no special fitness for the
plaice and to be known chiefly as a
protege of Cleveland.

Thi Herald titters characteristic
warning against heeding the dvice

advice only wastes their lime. Let
them serve the people. That is the
main thing. Parties just now are of
little account. That is the reason
why Cleveland and Pattison were
elected.. The grand old democratic

Sellers cf Toy Pistols;' get Their Deserved
Punishment.
The supreme court of Indiana has
furnished to the sellars of toy pistols
some hws which will please them less
than it will please society. Two little
Indiana boys, aged ten and twelve
years, had a toy pistol, and bought
some ball catridgen for it of a dealer;
the latter instructed the bqys how to
use them. They were used with
such effect that one of the boys was
killed by the other. The father
brought action for damages against
the dealer, got judgment and was
sustained, as to the law of the case,
by the highest court of the State.

LIQUOR BILL.
It is confident'" stated by parties
who are .wd ItfTnow-tbafr there are
a jfreat deal of misrepresentation of
facts by the distillers in their appeal
for relief by the Sherman bill through
the two vears extension of time for
payment oi . the tax on goods in
warehouse. The talk about the
eighty or ninety millions of gallons;
which must be taken out soon it the
bill should not pass, thereby bank
rupting the trade and affecting finan
cial circles generally, is untrue. There
is no danger of a panic during the
coming year on account of whisky
and there are no eighty or ninety
millions, nor even halt that, of liquor
in bond upon which tax miiBt be
paid during the corning season. The
whisky which must be unbonded
during 18S3 amounts to only 14,000,
000 gallons, on which the tax
amounsa to $1,200,000. The whisky
men themselves, in their representa
tions to congress, claim that the con
sumption by the country of their
goods is fifteen million gallons per
year, which is more by fifteen million
gallons, obviously, than the amount
upon which they are asked to pay a
iflx. During the entire year of 1883,
in fket, distillers can handle their
goods w"ith ease, provided they can
induce cong to pass a law which
will benefit tfcijm by allowing them
to hold spirits in &.f ore with a tax un
paid for a year longed- during which
time it would double in J'altie. This
is the secret to the whole movement
of whisky going out of bond. .They
have not more than they need, b-Jit
it iney can hold it at government
expense two years longer and double
their money it would be very profit
able legislation for distillers and in
the meantime the country would be
supplied with so much more com
pound whiskies while this bourbon
is getting additional age.
The New York Post says: John
Craw will leave the composing room
of the Post lo-morrow after a con
tinuous and faithful service of fifty
six years, entering the office in 1826
as a boy of fourteen to serve his
time. Probably no other compos
itor in the country can boast of so
long a service in one office.
Ban Francisco Democrats Reform.
The Chicago- Times says: "The
democrats of San- Francisco propose
to exclude women from employment
in the municipal offices, where at
present the petticoats are numerous.
The fair officeholders are greatly dis
turbed thereat, and one of them
writes an indignant and energetic
protest. Up to this time women
iave been" tolerated in office through
sort of political gallantry, but the

The Chicago Times says the pur
pose of a certain bill in congress' is
to enable the Southern Pacific and
other railroad corporations to con
solidate as one corporation so as to
make a through lin,e under one man
agement from the Atlantic to the

Huntington and Crocker have been
trying for years to complete.

Representative George at Wash
ington recently said that some ap
prehension exists regarding the char
acter of the reports made by the en
gineer officers on the improvement
at the mouth of the Columbia river.
George said: "The report of the ma-
Ljority of the board is good, ar.d
Mendel's report is still better. While
he thinks the jetties should be high
er, he thinks they need not be so
long as recommended by the major
ity, and therefore need not cost,
even if stone is used instead of wood
much more than $1,100,000. The
majority estimated the cost at over
3,500,000. All the members of the
board are agreed that wood work at
t he mouth of the Columbia will be
free from the attacks of the toredo.
as col. jriiiespio believes the cost
will be greatly lessened, there is en
tire unanimity as to the general plan
to be pursued and certainty of a
great and permanent increase of
depth over the bar. All the mem
bers of the board are united upon
Col. Gillespie's plan to Drotect the
wall on Clatsop spit. I have given
the subject of this improvement much
study, and am gratified with the re
port of the board. Nothing but an
ignorant and unfounded clamor
against" the river and harbor bill can
retard the early beginning of this
work.

Corvallis, the southern terminal point of the
west side division of the O. & O. R. R. and
on the bank of the Willamette river. It
has a population of twelve or fifteen hun
dred, and is not only a local center, but the
distributing point for the whole of Benton
county and the western part of Lane. It
has banks, fine stores, handsome streets,
good residences and wears an air of thrift.
The chief office in this state ot the O. P. R.
R. is located there. The school privileges
of Corvallis are particularly ifne. The state
agricultural college is located there, and
the town is also well provided with public
schools.
Benton County
The southernmost of the chain of west-
side counties is also the largest, says the
Oregonian. It extends north and south
about 50 miles and east and west about 60,
occupying a span between the Willamette
river and the ocean, east and west. It is
less thickly settled than any other of the
west-aide counties, but is perhaps richer
than any in natural resources. Its eastern
third is level alternate prairie and light
black land, and the remainder is timbered
hill land, admirably alapted for pasture.
The level land of Benton is almost exactly
like the level lands of the other west-side
counties. It is well watered and timbered,
rich in soil in short, a farmer's paradise.
It is thickly settled and has been for many
years, and it3 principal product is wheat.
Stock, vegetables, fruit, etc., are grown
here as in Yamhill and Polk, but not as an
independent and special crop.
The western part of Bsnton county is
probably the best stock section in Oregon,
though comparatively little stock is raised
there. The hills, originally covered with
dense forests, have been burned over and
are now comparatively open. The debris
of the burned forest has enriched the soil to
a highly productive state and peculiarly
adapted it for the various "tame" grasses-
The hills' are seamed with creek and river
bottoms which yield hay, or in fact, any.
thing planted in Jjreat abundance. The
climate is a softened ocean climate and the
extremes of heat and co.'d are not known .
Snows are rare and never lie on the ground
more than two day3 together. Benton has
a fair share of coast country and natural
harbor at Yaquina bay. Its western part,
particularly the Yaquina country, is rapidly
filling up with immigrants.
Benton is just now the most progressive
county in western Oregon. The Oregon
Pacific Railroad Co., is building a line from
its eastern to its western extremes, termin
ating at Yaqnina bay, and the enterprise
has put new life into the county. The
company proposes to extend its line across
to an eastern connection and the people of
Benton confidently hope to see Yaquina bay
one of tbe chief foreign shipping points in
the stata.
The principal town iu Benton eottnty is
General News.
The city council of Salem soon to go ou
of office as their last official act passed an
ordiance reorganizing the fire department
which has been approved by the mayor. It
is thought that the new council will appeal
it.
The Baker city Tribune relates one among
the worst attemps at murder we remember
hearing of, in which one William Carll who
being'destitute was picked up last fall on the
road by teamster Mr. P. Brenan who- gave
the destitute man shelter nd food and soon
furnished him a job. A few days ago Bre
nan unhitched hi3 horses to pull ont a team
3ter who had stuck in the mud which made
Carll mad and they fell out and C.trll went
away. At night Carll returned aud Brenan
caught him in the act of making way with
one of his horses and a blanket, Brenan gave
pursuit and Carll stabed him twice with a
a knife. Brenan will likely recover.
It is thought that owning to the recent
storms at sea that the Kate rnd Ann loaded
with flour and other freight for Nestucca
and Yaquina Bay is lost.
We learn from the Itemizcr that Mr. Free"
