0:FiC!AL PAPER FOR BENTON COuNTY
'0 teroii at the Posteffiee at OorvalKs
Oregon, as second-class matter.
Let everybody get ready to subscribe
towards the building of the State Ag
ricultural building in this county, be
cause it is time that it will soon be nec
essary to start out solicitors for that
purpose.
in several counties of this state the
people of their respective counties are
organizing local boards of immigration
to look after and to induce immigrants
to visit their respective localities for
the purpose of finding homes for them.
Marion county has organized, and sent
a man to Portland to specially work in
that line. If Benton county gets her
share of immigration her people will
have to organize their local board and
look carefully to the point that the
merits of Benton county soil and other
attractions be made known to people
seeking new homes.
Secretary Manning has appointed
B. Frank Abbott of New Jersey, as
chief of division in the office of audi
tor of the treasury for the post-office
department, instead of Widdieombe, of
Maryland, wh resigned by request.
This appointment is -mad clearly in
violation of the rules of civil service
reform, hj appointing Mr. Abbott
from the outside, when by require
ments of civil service reform it should
have been made by promotion and ex
amination. Civil service reformers
have already become alarmed at this
inovartion and hare made efforts to get
the president to interfere and require
the chiefs of divisions to be filled by
examination and promotion, thus far
the president has not interfered as the
president's interference to require such
places to be fiiled as the civil service
reformers' desire wowSd prevent some
of Mr. Cleveland's favorite Democratic
friends from occupying such positions
therefore it is more than probable that
he will utterly fail to see any reasons
for his interference and instead will
place the responsibility upon the re
spective members of his cabinet who
nake the appoint merits.
SADDER, WISER, POORER.
The latest way adopted of' getting
around the civil service reform profes
sions of president Cleveland is by dem
ocrats ot Oregon who represent to the
president that there aie seven federal
office holders of Portland who control
ibe republican politics of the state, and
ire now laboring in behalf i of the re
publican party and that if such repub
lican officials -are removed and demo
crats appointed in tbeir stead the dem
';rats can at the next election carry
the state. The representation that
seven or any otber number of republi
can office holders of Portland rule or
have ruled the republican party is
another democratic fabrication but it
will furnish a good excuse for the
president to step over the bounds of
civil service reform with which he is
endeavoring to gull the country. Re
publicans never expected anything else
but what "Cleveland would turn out
republican otfice holders in order to
give place to the ravenous, hungry and
buzzard-like throng, which formed a
large portion of his following, and if
he had went about it in a straight for
ward way to give his friends the po
sitions nothing particular cauld have
been said against it, but whn he de
clares himself to be a true lover and
follower of civil service reform and at
the same time puts republicans out of
positions and gives as an excuse that
he wants to reduce the force of em
ployees when those remaining are com
pelled ta do one and a half days work
in every twenty-four hours in order to
give him an opportunity to determine
in a short time chat more help is need
ed in place of those dismised so that
democrats can be found to fill such
places, and again when he removes
officers upon the excuse that appropri
ations are exhausted where every one
knows that the duties of such office is
necessary to be performed every day
and when such removal is also made
for the purpose of giving the place to
a democrat in a short tun all has a
tendency to make the public believe
"that president Clevelands' civil service
Teform professions are purely hypocriti
cal and looses for "him the respect of
honest people where he could have re
tained their respect by pursuing a
straight forward course, ,
unhappy Experience of a Very sanguine
Young Man from Texas.
This young man evidently supposed
his natural born qualification especial
ly adapted to fiill any office within the
gift of the people, in fact Corvallis peo
ple have experienced sensibly the ikct
that as soon as Texas people cross Ma
son and Dixons line they have a very
strong and incurable desire for office.
HIS FIRST WEEK IN WASHINGTON.
"Just got in from Texas yesterday.
You know we gave Cleveland 125,000
plurality in our state, and he's net the
man to forget it. I've got as strong
indorsements as ever a man brought
to Washington from every public man
in Texas, and I feel that I'm solid as
any man can be for one of the com
missionerships. I'll drink nothing
but champagne for the next four years,
and smoke only imported cigars."
SECOND WEEK.
"I can't understand it at all. The
last of the commissioners was appoint
ed yesterday, and it wasn't me. I'm
afraid I'll have to be satisfied with a
Chief Clerkship. They pay about
82,000. It isn't just wh it I expacted,
but it's fair pay. Old brandy and
Henry Clay cigars are good enough
for any man."
THIRD WEEK.
"It beats the very Old Harry how
all the Uhtiif Clerkships wur snapt up
by ravenous sharks, from the North
and West. The Texas delegation feel
sure, though, that they can grit a $1,
G00 clerkship for me. That means
plain Bourbon whisky and 10 cent
cigars. Wed, they say that we are to
have a return to Jelt'ersonian simplici
ty, so I must put op with it."
FOURTH WEES.
"Saw our Congressman yesterday,
and he said their was no ea. thly show
f r a $1,600 placj for r,ir. I always
knew he was a putty man, without
vim eHOugii to make tracks in the
snow. He said that the pressure wrs
so great that a sl,030 place was all
that I Ciiild expect. I'll stt!e him
when he comes up for nomination.
That means that I'll have to put up
with beer and 5 cent cigar"-.
FIFTH WEEK,
(ami for months afterward.)
"For the love of God, Senat r, if
you'll only get 'me a place as laborer
at $35 a month I'll make ont spmcioTu.
I'll smokfc a corn-cob pipe and drink
nothing but trnsr." National Tribune.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Com pondent.)
Washington. April 10. 1SS5
Preparations had been made for the
first general reception at the White
House of the present administration,
but the announcement that Gen Grant
could not live through the night
brought preparations to a stand still.
When the death of Gen. Grant occur
president Cleveland will issue an order
closing the executive departments and
directing that they be draped in mourn
ing. It seems to be settled now that
Gen. Grant will be buried in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Various sites have
been spoken of for. his final resting
place. Gen. Sheridan has the matter
in charge and he has been consulting
prominent army officere. The spot
known as the White Lot, which is be
tween the White House and the Wash
ington Monument, has brfen suggested
as an appropriate one. Others favor
the Congressional Cemetery, and the
crypt of the Capitol, Arlington, or the
Soldier's Home, and it is probable one
of the commanding elevations in these
beautitul grounds will receive the dust
of the nation's dead. The month of
April is thickly studded with Grant an
niversaries, and now his death is likely
to add another memorable one to the
list. It was on April ist, that Gen.
Grant turned Lee's right at Five Forks;
April 2nd he assisted and carried the
lines at Petersburg And Richmond;
April 6th the battle of Shiloh opened;
April 7th he drove the rebels from the
field; April 8th he had thrown his cav
alry across Lee's line of retreat, and on
April the 9th Lee's army surrendered.
Now that most ot President Cleve
land's diplomatic appointments have
been settled, some curious stories come
out concerning the ambitions and dis
appointments of his appointees. Ex
Senator Pendleton who served as the
manager for the civil service agitator
in the senate, and who fathered their
bill, set the example of spurning one of
the elementary principles of their creed.
He desired the English mission above
all others. He got the endorsement
of all the democratic senators and ap
plied for the place. When minister
Phelps was offered a foreign mission he
declined to have anything but England,
thus depriving Mr. Pendleton of the
object of his ambition; and leaving him
to choose between Germany and Rus
sia. Ex-Gov. Jarvis, of North Carolina
did not want the Brazilian mission.
He said it was the same as banishment.
Then suddenly he appeared in Wasl -ington
and accepted it. Gen. Lawton
is trying to go to Russia with his disa
bilities under the fourteenth amend
ment, and Andrew Johhson's pardor
in his pocket. The new secretary ;f
state tells hi u t at Andrew Johnto )
pardoned him for his treason and there
fore the fourteenth amendment does
not affect him. Mr. Bayard knows
that Andrew Johnson pardoned per
haps 20,000 just as he did Gen. Law
ton; and yet, unless they got their dis
abilities removed by congress, the par
don was not legally sufficient to cover
the offence. The president was much
encouraged by the support the re
publican senators gave him in making
appointments at the extra session.
How far this supjwrt was based on the
belief that his course would strengthen
the republican party, and that it was
the hpst way to build it up, is a ques
tion about which opinions differ. It is
only fair to assume that the republi
cans will work for their own party, and
that they will favor what will tend to
divide the democrats. The republi
cans are watching Mr. Cleveland and
the course of his administration with
Intense interest, and on the whole they
are a pretty happy people.
There have been no important ap
pointments made during the week, and
no incidents of r.ote have occurred in
department matters. The special in
vestigation commission of the treasury
is hard at work day and night with its
heavy task, the outcome of which is
awaited with great interest. It is still
engaged with the internal revenue bu
reau, which opens a particularlarly
broad field for inspection.
Secretary Marning has just returned
from an invstieatini tour to the era-5
pire state. His ostensible business j
there was of a strictly private character
but his alleged business was to take
counsel of the wise men of his party,
and manipulate the popular pulse with
a view of ascertaining how fast and how
far the administration can safely go in
the way of making places for democrats
who hunger for the Sesh pots. Presi
dent Cleveland's recognition of civil
service principles is well nigh intolera
ble to the Secretary of the treasury.

Prof. Colladon, of Geneva, has as
certained that when lightning strikes
a tree it la ives -very few in irks of its
passage ftn the upper part and middle
of the trunk, Nat as it decends to the
neighborhood of tlie heavier branches
it tears open the b.irfc and in many in
stances shivers the tre". He ascribes
this peculiarity to the fact that the
upper portions of the tree are more
highly charged with sugar a gpod
electric conductor than the lower
parts. An exception to the rule seems
to be found in oaks, which are often
a?n with tops quite Masted and the
pasge of th: IMi'ning lower down
marked 'iy a gag -Hlee furrow.
Dr. Nachtigal h is described some
curious trees of the region about Lake
Chad in Africa. The bntte-tree bears
a peculiar nut Those oil is much used
is a substitute for butter; a legumin
ous tree Parkia bilobosa produces
seeds from which a meal is made which
is an excellent food; while the wool
tree has a fruit which bursts like the
pods of cotton and reveals a soft and
lustrous mass of fibers, which may be
used for a variety of purposes, such as
stuffing cushions and mattresses.
Dr. Koch, who claim to have dis
covered the germ of cholera duriug in
vestigations into the epidemic in Egypt,
reports that the minute organism re
sembles that seen in cases of consump
tion. According to Commander Gallieni,
the total length of the Niger river is
over 2,000 miles. The upper part
may be navigable far small steamer
the middle course, which flows in num
erous channels through a flat country,
is the scene of an active river trade in
slaves, cattle gold, etc., and is little
kuown; while the lower course has
often been ascended a considerable dis
tance by trading vessels.
A party of Russian savants has
started from the Baltic on a scientific
voyage round the world.
Prof. Huxley thinks that three
years may be regarded as the adult
age of oysters. Their natural term of
life is not known, but there are reas
ons believing that it may extend to
twenty years, or even considerably
more in some cases.
During the solar eclipse of May 6th,
Mons. Trouvelot saw near the sun
bright red star which he has since been
unable to find during a careful search
of the part of the heavens where the
sun was situated at the time of the
eclipse. This would setm to indicate
that the object is a planetary body
moving along with the sun, but Mons.
Trouvelot declines to give any con
clusions at present.
Recent investigations by D S. J.
Blake fail to confirm the idea that at
mospheric electricity is generated by
the evaporation of sea water.
