now TO INVEST.
The lanrs of finance and banking
nre almost as well established as the
laws of nature. In either case their
violation is followed by disastrous
consequences. The greater the inter
est the more perilous the risk to cap.
kal. An expose has been made of
the operations of the so-called national
building and loan associations, which
discloses an alarming state of affairs.
Under alluring promises of 20 to 25
per cent interest, thousands of in
vestors have actually ended in paying
that rate for the privilege of making
deposits.
One rule can be safely followed:
Never deal with any agent of an in
surance company, banking concern, or
loan association who asserts the pre
posterous proposition that you will re
ceive in return a fabulous rate of in
terest. It can not be done. Men
who have made a life study of finance
are content to loan their capital at a
very low rate.
Building and loan associations when
properly conducted are excellent insti
tutions, and encourage in the indus
trial classes ideas of thrift and econ
omy. But they should be coaducted
at home and by home officers. Such
a system retains capital instead of
draining the country, and builds up
cities of homes. Such institutions,
when properly handled, as they
nearly always are, have never failed.
And there is another mode of in
vestment that is even better and safer
than this real estate. Laboring men
who buy town lots or farm property,
making use of ordinary judgment, al
most invariably reap a rich reward.
Every laborer and artisan in this city
ought to do two things as speedily as
possible: Insure his life in some one
of the solid and long-established com
panies and buy a town lot with a view
to some day making his home thereon.
And then when itinerant agents, often
tuiscruplous and plausible, come along
he will not be duped into a false ven
ture. A pity it is that such men can
take advantage or a man's best im
pulses to rob him. in comparison
with them the gambler becomes an
honorable gentleman, for he thrives
on man's cupidity, while fellows of the
former ilk prey upon the manly im
pulses of thrift and home building.
The proper way to secure live offi
cials to govern the city of Corvallis,
is to have both parties place their best
men in the field. This can only be
done by holding primaries and conven
tions on the same plan as the county.
Let's do this next yearand then voters
will know who they are balloting for.
Probably better flaws and cleaner
streets would result therefrom.
Who would make a good marshal
for Corvallisl Remember city elec
tion occurs in a few months,
to think about this now.

MORE COLLEGE TALK.
Eds. Gazette:
Some weeks ago your columns
kindly gave an article setting forth the
facts as to the secession from the Unit
ed Brethren church, and the effort of
the seceders to carry off Philomath
college in the schism. , To that article
an extended reply has been made. I
do not wish to indulge in a personal
controversy, nor can I be inducod to do
so. The facts contained in that article
can not be covered by any personal in
nuendoes, or reflections cast upon the
authorities of the church by any one,
or by any amount of sophistry respect
ing the rights of seceders to the col
lege. So far as is known to the writer
no one connected with the church or
college is the bearer of personal ill
will toward any in the controversy or
with evil purposes or with thoughtless
disregard are guilty of betraying per
sonal friendship It were, sorry day
for a church when any thing should
induce its trusted officers to benedict
its sacred interests. The principles of
property right claimed in a former
article are being now sustained by the
courts in other cases. The first sceek
ift October a prominent case involving
i
(lie title WJ a Cliuruil uuuac naa liicu av
"New Lexington.. Ohio. The ablest
-----
lawyers secured by the seceders pre
sented their case with great energy
which was heard by the judge with
unusual natienee. After a week's
research the court, in a masterly decis
ion sustained every point claimed by
the church, basing the decision upon
justice and various decisions of the
courts of the county, and especially of
the supreme court of the United States.
The decision showed that the only
ground upon which the civil courts can
have jurisdiction in a case like this is
that of an alleged perversion of trust.
In determining whether the general
conference in its acts violated the
trust under which it holds its property
by transcending its power or jurisdic
tion as a legislative, judicial, or execu
tive body the court said:
"The general rule is, that the doc
tnnal decisions and constructions ot
legislation of the highest judicatory of
a church are binding upon the civil
courts. 1 desire upon this point to
refer to a few of the leading authori
ties in support of it.
In the case of Watson vs. Jones,
decided by the supreme court of the
United States, and reported in 13
Wallace, 679, the court on page 727 of
opinion says, "In this class of cases
we think the rule of action which
should govern the civil courts, founded
in a broad and sound view of the
relations of church and state under
our systsm of laws; and supported by
a preponderating weight of judicial
authority, is that whenever the ques
tions of discipline, or faith, or ecclesias
tical rule, custom, or law have been
decided by the highest of these church-
judicatoiies to which the matter has
been carried, the legal tribunals must
accept such decisions as final, and as
binding on them in their application
to the case before. tli9m." And further,
"from the evidence before the court,
this church, in a legal, Christian, an9
wise manner, did its .work with a de
gree of accuracy, commendable to the
world of churches.
These matters were all within the
province and jurisdiction of the gen
eral conference to determine, and hav
ing determined them it is not within
the province of the civil courts to re
view its decisions in that respect,
except as above stated; and,
moreover, it is the opinion of the
court that it determined all these
questions in accordance with its
organic lw. And Bishop Wright and
his followers having left the church,
and also having since been expelled,
they have no light to the property, but
it belongs to the church as represent
ed by the plaintiffs, and a decree will
be entered in their favor."
The other case involving the title to
church property was in Lecompton,
Kansas, where we have a flourishing
college. The seceders recently got
out an injunction against the authori
ties representing the church, as they
have done at Philomath. The church
authorities pressed the matter before
the judge at once, and after hearing the
evidence aud two days reflection he
set aside the force of the injunction,
at once delivering the college to the
church authorities and at the cost of
the seceders reserving the final decis
ion as to quieting of title for the regu
lar process ot trial. The seceders wisely
have given up the suit which they saw
was a "forlorn hope." This would be
the manly and chrrstian course for the
seceders to pursue in respect to Philo
math college. It is a reproach and
sorrow which has been cast upon the
church by a process which can only
bring added disappointment and loss.
Even under these trials the college is
growing in patronage and favor, and
the ministers of the church are going
forward with success and hope "with
malice toward none and love for all"
we wish to go forward seeking, with
all worthy agencies, to do something
in building up christian morality and
tine manlines among the people of this
beautiful country.

THE CHAMBER OF TORTURE
Is the apartment to which this unhappy
ufferer from inflamitory rbeumatism is
confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is reach
ed, that fine pieventitive, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, " is used by persons of a
rheumatic tendency, much unnecessary suf
fering is avoided. Nervines, anodynes and
sedatives, -while having none but a specific
are yet very desirable at times. Yet they
can produce no lasting effect upon rheuma
tism, because they have no power to elimin
ate from, the blood the rheumatic virus.
Hostetter's Stomach Bittets does this, and
checks at the outset a disease which, if al
lowed to gain headway, it is next to impos
sible to dislodge or to do more than relieve.
Rheumatism, it should be remembered, is a
disease with a fatal tendency from its prone
nesa to attack the heart. A resort to the
Bitters should, therefore, be prompt. Dys
pepsia, kidnev comprint, malaria and ner
vousness are relieved ly it.. mL

FIFTY TEARS AGO.
If some of the American states
men who, forty or fifty years ago
expressed their ideas concerning
the western portion of the United
States, could visit this great
country to-day, they would declare
that they had reference to some
country still larther west, says an
ex. Even when Bell represented
the territory of California in con
gress, in a debate in the house he
said there was not a foot of land
in that territory which could ever
be used for agricultural purposes.
In the senate of the United
States, when Hon. Thomas H.
Benton was introducing and urg
ing the adoption of some measures
for a territorial government for
Oregon, Daniel Webster declared
that it "was all nonsense to organ
ize that territory, as it was so far
off it could never be governed by
the United States; and if it was
organized into a territory and
elected a delegate to congress, he
could not reach Washington until
a year after the expiration ot his
term, as he would have to come
around by Behring sea, Baffin's
bay and Davis straits, or south,
around Cape Horn."
It is interesting to note what
half a century has done for these
coast states. All these impossi
bilities have been overcome, and
the Pacific coast stands forth now
second to no section of the United
States in prosperity. And what
is better, we have just begun grow
ing. Watch out for us at the ex
piration of the next half century.
"SENSATION IN CORVALLIS."
Under the above heading the fol
lowing is taken from the Albany Her
ald, of yesterday morning. For fur
ther particulars enquire of the parties
interested. Ed.1
"Corvallis, Oct. 30. A sensation
has developed at a farm near this city,
which has led to warrants being issued
for the arrest of Rube. Rigor and his
hired man on a charge o- seduction.
The story told your correspondent is
that Miss Oakes, a young girl aged 15,
whose parents live at Monroe, has been
employed at Kiger's to do housework.
A short time ago it became known
that she was about to become a
mother, when the hired man was in
duced to agree to man y her.
Her father, on visiting the girl, how
ever, became acquainted with the facts
in the case, and took the girl home
and swore out warrants for both the
men, the girl having confessed to
criminal intimacy with Kiger and the
latter's scheme to man-y her to the
hired man."
Land in Tacoma is very high,
ranging m price Irom $1,500 to
$60,000 per lot. No lot is offered
for sale within the city lor less
than $1,500. JNearly all of the
lots are 25 by 120 feet. The
country extending back, probably
four miles, is all divided into cify
ots which sell from $300 to $1,000
per lot. Not a foot of land can
be bought on the point of land on
which Tacoma is situated for less
than $500 per acre, and out at
American lake, twelve miles dis
tant, they ask $1,000 an acre for
and. Fortunes have been made
in these lands within the last tew
years, lo illustrate, one man nas
a tract of 160 acres which he ob
tained from the government as a
iomesteadl not paying a cent for
it, and now he refuses $600 per
acre, or $96,000 for the tract, and
this change of Values has occurred
within the last seven years. There-
are residents in Tacoma, who five
years ago were poor men, now
worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars, all acquired through the
ncreased value of lands.

Such practical tests an so startliugly convinc

two of the active principles of the new remedy
belong to the vegetable kingdom of California
and are so well known to us all under common

But we are not surprised at anything Callfor

another instance of the astonishing possibUities
of a soil and climate like ours.
The Tax Levy. From assessment
rolls already received by the secretary
of state, judging by the rate of in
crease over last year, indicate that the
total taxable valuation of property for
the state will be over $100,000,000, as
compared with $85,000,000 last year.
Washington shows a valuation of
$125,000,000 and is inclined to look
down upon Oregon. The last named
state has the valuation but by her as
sessment system the figures do not
show it. The tax levy, it is estimated,
will be less than six mills this year.

Cured by Cuticura
For three years I was almost crippled
with an awful sore leg from my knee down
to my ankle; the skin was entirely gone,
and the (flesh was one mass of disease.
Some physicians pronounced it incural le.
It had diminished about one-third the size
of the Other, and 1 Was in a hopeless con
dition. After trying all kinds of remedies
and spending hundreds of dollars, from
which I got no relief whatever, I was per
suaded to try your Cuticura Remedies,
and the result was as follows: After three
days I noticed a decided change for the bet
ter, and at the end of two months I was
completely cured. My flesh was purified,
and the bone (which had been exposed for
oyer a year) got sound. The flesh began to
grow, and to-day, and for nearly two years
past, my leg is as well as ever it was, sound
in every respect, and not a sign of the dis
ease to be ssen. S. G. A HERN, DuBois,
