Weekly tallis Gazette, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH t, 18S5. O.-FICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COurlTY JCntefed at the Postoffice at Oregon, as second-class matter. Corvallis News Summary. Almond trees are blooming in Ashland. The Medford Journal has made its ap peanance. Peach trees are blossoming in the Umpqua Valley. Measles are prevailing in different parts of Jackson county. Klamath county expects a large emigra tion in the spring. A wool growers' association effected or ganization -at Heppner a few days ago. A saw mill with a c ipaeity of 10,000 feet per day is being erected at Rosebnrg. Frank Beach, of Liukville, has purchased a half interest in the Lakeview Examiner. The saw and gridt mills at Independence have shut down on account of high water. Of the 38-1 bills introduced iu the last session of the legislature, only 105 passed. The experiment of raising tobacco has been tried iu Linn county with good suc cess. Judge Deady has been re appoited a mem l er of the Board of Regents for the State University. Hon. J. S. Herri n, of Ashland, last sea sou put up 8,000 pounds of superior bacon and lard. Milwaukee made a million barrels of beer last year, and yet wont give over 121 cents a pound tor hops. The railroad repair shops at Grant's Pass baa been ciosed for the present, owing to trouble among employes. Sheepmen near North Powder, Union county, have been feeding their flocks since Dec. 16th, and will continue doing so unt'l March 1st. A Marsh field lumberman predicts that in less than ten years all the lumber on the Pacific Coast will be carried on steamers constructed especially for that purpose. A Yamhill correspondent says: "Bus! els of sound apples are lying on the ground in some of the orchards of this county, and .yet we boast of a fifteen days' bliz ard last winter. The bounty law cost the Territorial treas ury nearly $12,000 iu 1884 for the scalps of wild animal3. During the year there were killed 547 bears, 133 mountain lions, 5,410 wolves and 1,621 coyotes in Dakota. In the State of Oregon there are 463 post offices; one office of the first class, one of the second class, thirteen of the third class, and 448 of the fourth class. There are four teen presidential offices sad sixty-two money-order offices. A correspondent of a Kentucky paper asks the editor why Christmas is celebrated, and in reply the editot expresses astonish ment that anybody in this enlightened age should ask such a question, and then says it is in commemoration of the crucifixion of Christ. A missionary is needed in that locality. They are having abundance of rain in the Cogue d'Aleue country, and as the snow is rapidly disappearing, the prospects for an early and prosperous miuiug season is ex tremely flattering. The miners fetl perfect ly satisfied that thev will make as good a showing as any placer mining country in America. The location of the 1 ndian school at Salem will result in putting something like $15, 00, more or lea-', into circulation there, used in the construction of the building, and $25,000 or $30,000 annually for the running expenses. It is intended by the secretary of the interior to make this a large school for the education of Indians from an extensive district. The peach growers of the country again announce that all the buds have beeu killed by the blizzards of the winter. We shall again be obliged to eat our peaches without buds. You can hardly tell the difference now. The pe reh buds have been regularly annihilated by the winters ever since the memory of the oldest inhabitaut commenced to work. The State Agricultural Society is now assured of success, says the Salem States man. The Governor will soon appoint the necessary eight members of the Board on the part of the State. The society has already uamed as its four,A. J. Apperson of -Clackamas, M. Wilkins of Lane, R. A. Irvin of Liuu, and R. E. Bybee of Multno mah. A striking argument iu favor of small farms ia found in the following: "Un llus sian river, Cal., ten years ago, 100 acres o) wheat land brought an annual profit of $1,000 to the farmer owuing the tract. He cut it into five-acre lots and sold it to hop and fruit-growers. Last year there was a profit ol $32,000, one acre realizing $600 from plums. Eleven families are now sup potted on the 100 acres." The California and Oregon unearned land nnt consists of 3,000,000 acres, principally in Galitornia. A resolution was recently introduced in the California Legislature re questing the representatives and instructing the senators in congress to vote for the forfeiture of unearned land grants. The resolution as adopted, after exempting by amendment the California and Oregon land grant. It was passing kind on the part of the'Califomia legislators to preserve the pub lic domain in other States than their own. This is a case in which charity did not be giu at home. There are about 8000 bushels of wheat in the warehouse at Lebanon awaiting ship ment, anil some 10,000 bushels of oats. Most of the oats is still held by farmers, while the wheat is in the hands of the mill men. The barn of (i. W. Ebbert, about one mile east of Springfiold, Lane county, was burned Thursday at 9 o'clock. It contained about 1,000 bushels of oats, 400 or 500 bushels of wheat, about 200 bushels of bar ley, ten to fifteen tons of hay, and all his farming utensils except a wagon and two saddles. There was but slight insurance and Mr. Ebbeit's loss is a serious one. The Swain court-martial is finished at last. Brig. Gen. David A. Swain has been sentenced to twelve years suspension on half pay from rank and duty, and the President has approved the sentence. This will carry him past the time of his possible retirement from the army. The sentence was upon the charge of comlsct to the jjre juiiice of good order and military discipline. The last case of smallpox, which was de veloped some time ago at Baker City was that of a girl twelve or fourteen years of age. The case, like ths one which preceded it, proved fat d, the giri dying in a fe;v days. Every precaution was observed to pre7ent further spread of the disease by the authori ties. The patient was isolated, and after her deatli every care was taken in the in tc ment of the body. No new cases have been developed, and the quarantine has been raised. Vancouver Independent. The Salem Statesman says, The superin tendent of the Indian school at Forest Grove has received instructions fiom the department at Washington to take posses sion of the ground north of this city, near the fair ground, which has been donated to the government for th? purpose of con structing a building for the Indian school thereuu. It is understood that a number of the male students wiil shortly be set to work clearing the ground preparatory to the work of construction. The work ot constroctioi of the budding will probably be commenced with the opening of spring. The work of improving the Columbia has began. There is a large lot of preliminary work ncess-.ry before the actual work of the jetty is begun. The magnitude of the the undertaking makes it requisite that plans sufficient shall be built and collected, and nearly all the important parts of this preliminary work are now contracted for and building. It is probable that the ap pliances necessary to make ready for the work proper will absorb the $100,000 ap propriated, aud if congress appropriates half a million before adjourning next Tues day, considerable progress can be made. This summer w ill see a good deal done that is necessary to get in proper shape for get ting at the real work of building the jetty. FOR THE LADIES.

Temperance Department EDITED BY THE W. ('. T. U. Many well-meaning puoole in our churches talk of the social problems of the day, be wail the sad state of thi::ys, theorize and speculate as to what ought to be done, but meanwhile do nothing, absolutely nothing, to improve them. Eliphaz, the Temauite, once asked concerning a wise man. "Shoul 1 he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?" The Apostie James also had such in mind when he said, "If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, anil one of you say unto them, depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are need ful to the body, what doth it profitr" We need on all hands to press the oil adage "Deeds, not words alone." ' 'Christian! fy," says Bishop Butler, "is to be very particu lar! y regarded as a solemn trust deposited with us in behalf of mankiud, as well as for our instruction. No one has a right to be called a Christian who doth not something in his station in discharge vf this trust; who doth not something iu keeping up the profession of Christianity where he lives." Are we uot commissioned to "Go work in my vineyard. " The field in which work needs to be done is the world. Survey its moral condition. "Darkness covers the earth and xross darkness the people." The dark places of the earth are full of the habi tations of cruelty, drunkenness, stealing, cursing, lying, impurity aud inhumanity of all kinds, abounds in our midst, where shall we go and find the hideous monster, evil? The voice of the Master who called to prophets of old, is calling to the Christi.in people to-day. "Whom sha'l I send, aud who shall go for us." Who like him is ready to respond, "Here I am, send me." The age in which we live is one of activity. Satan is actively at work, his agents are all over the wide earth. Who are God's agents'; What is the duty of Christians to-day? "Am I my brother's keeper?" It would be well fir us to weigh this sentence well. If it is to be answered in the affirmative, what is your responsibility? what is mine? With out hesitation I call upon every Christian whose heart has been touched with the power of (iod to be up and doing; to begin at once to ask in the sanctuary of his own spirit, and with a deep sense of his own re sponsibility, the question, "Lord what wilt Thou have mo to do?" For we ajl, even the least of us, may do something. God help us to find out what that something is and at once do it. Syrup of Figs. Nature's own true Lnx ative.
