It has been demonstrated by a

In New York on Thursday last
tte newly appointed minister to
Russia, Allen T. Rice, died at ihe
a;ie of thirty-six. He has been
Jie editor of the North American
Iveview since 1S78.
In 1860 the cattle in this
country numbered 418 head to
each 1,000 of population. In 18S5
it had fallen to 722 per 1,000, and
now the best authorities put it at
' TOO, or a loss of 114 head per 1,000
iai twenty-nine years.
Mr. Hurd has done a grand
tiling for Corvallis by furnishing
her with an electric light system.
Now let the council do the right
... thing by taking as many of the
lights as the city will stand. And
let all the businejss men nse them
also.
The new method of execution
fcy electricity, adopted in New
York, will put the question of the
efficacy of capital punishment, as
a preventative of crime, to the
test. Persons arrested for mur
der are said to have the utmost
dread of this form of death.
Tiisrk were 100 suicides in the
United States between January
1st and May 1st. The self
slatfghterers ranged in age all
along between first and second
childhood, and the causes em
braced everything that can affect
morbid self-consciousness.
The Evening Star, ot Washing
ton City says editorially: '-The
nomination of Solomon Hirsch,
for the Turkish mission, removes
Senator Mitchell's most dangerous
rival for the benatorshjp in 1891,
and removes alt doubts of the
lat.ter's return to the senate."
Mitchell, it says, may be depend
ed upon t& secure .Hirsch's confir
mation. The president has appointed
Solomon Hirsch, of Portland, as
minister to Turkey. Mr. Hirsch
has been foremost in the republi
ean party for a number of years,
and was a candidate for the U. S.
senate from Oregon at the time
J. II. Mitchell was elected. The
office of iinister to. Turkey i.s osxe
f the KHst responsible foreign
posts, nrti hfts. been? hehl hereto
fore by such men of national repu
tation as Geu. Lew. Wallace, Gen.
Loncstreet, S. S. Cox and others.
TJie appointment is a good one,
and Mr. Hirsch will no. doubt
prove an able and worthy repre
sentative of the United States at
tJUe Turkish court.

AN EMIGRANT'S IDEA.
CoRVAELla, May 22, 18S9.
Kds: Gazktte
I was rather favorably impressed with the
appearance of your town, and thought of
locating here, but when I read the Leader
and Times this week I was somewhnt dis
oou raged. It would seem from the article
in the Leader that a person would bj run
ning a great risk to stop over night in this
pestilential, Cod-forsaken place, and that if
he ever passed through he would be fortu
Date if he did not catch the scarlet fever or
cow pox; aud according to the Times of this
morning, the population is largely made up
of "yellar doijs and brindle cows."
Not knowing whether these papers truth
fully represented the condition of your
town or not, I concluded to make an exam
ination for myself, and found: 1st. that the
town was the healthiest one in the state;
that there was no sickucsss to amount to
any thins; that while . other towns were
being scourged with scarlet fever, diphthe
ria, and other fatal diseases, this place was
exempt. Secondly, I found that the place
was as clean and well kept as towns goner'
ally are; there are a few ditches into which
the kitchen slops are run that are a nui
sauce, but there is an express ordinance
against doing so, and if the marsh.ill wovUl
do liia duly that nuisance would be abated
in short order. Thirdly, I found men who
had been residents of the place thirty aud
forty years, who informed me that they had
not been confined to their room twenty
four hours with any kind of sickness during
that time. Fourth, I found a fine college, a
magnificent court house," a splendid district
vchool house (in preparation of construction),
good water works, electric lights, aud many
tine family residences, and some of the tin
est flower gardens in the state, all denoting
comfort, healft and thrift; and, lastly, a
community of thrifty, intelligent, respect.i
bio people. And I wondered how these
papers -could derive any satisfaction from
slandering our town. Emigrant.
