THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
To the end that public acknowledg
ment may le made to God for Ilia
unnumbered mercies, 1 do hereby ap
point Thursday, the 28th day of No
vember, 1889, as a day of Thanksgiv
ing and I would remind the good peo
ple of this commonwealth that no ex
pressions of gratitude can be more ac
ceptable to heaven han are gifts, from
their abundance in aid of the poor.
In testimony whereof, I hereunto
sign my name and cause the seal of the
State to be affixed at the city of Salem,
this 4th day of November, A. D.
1889.
Sylvester Pennoyer,
By the Governor: Governor.
Geo. VV. McBkide,
Secretary of State.
Chicago's water supply costs $1,
000,000 a year, and the city owns the
works.
The Mining and Engineering
Journal declares that after spending
$2,000,000 in the search, only two
pounds of tin has ever been found In
Dakota.
It is lather damp this week on the
outside, but then that has nothing to
do with the idea that in a few months
Corvallis will have a street car line in
full operation.
E. P. Ferry, the first governor of
the state of Washington, and the forty
second officer of that kind in the
United States, was inaugurated at
Olympia on last Monday, November
18 th.
The population of Mexico is 10,000,
000 and an area of 743,948 square
miles. The tax paid for the support of
the government is $28,000,000 or $2.80
per capita. This maintains a standing
army of 40,000.
Governor Alger thinks that Gov
ernor urn, 01 .New York, will have to
be politically dead and buried before
Cleveland will ever have a running
chance for office again, esDecially
when alluding to the next democratic
presidential nominee.
California's two state prisons cost
$550,000 a year, and the cost of con
veying prisoners is $55,000, while the
arresting, rewards, etc., amounts to
$25,000 more. The last legislature of
that state made an appropriation of
$1,167,000 for the three insane asylums
and transportation of patients, besides
appropriating $710,000 for two more
new buildings.
The increase in electric railways in
the United States has been phenomi
nal during the last year. In 1880
there was not an electric road in the
United States. Last year there were
thirty-three railways with 130 miles of
track. There are now 101 roads in
operation with 375 miles of track
The number ot electric railways has
been more than trebled within a
single year. San Jose Mercury.
Who would le a president? Now
comes the West Shore and says that
President Harrison acted perfectly
silly in the "way he juggled with his
signature on the Dakota proclamation,"
and says there will never be anyway
of making a list of states in the order
of their admission that will be correct.
There certainly will be no trouble in
selecting a presidential nominee in '92
- as long as such smart (?) editors aie
alive.
Til A TAD VER T1SEMEMT.
WILL BE TRUE.
That advertisement of Albany, in
the Oregonian of last Tuesday, seemed
to contain some assertions that appear
considerably stretched. Yet, if they
are true, no one should object, because
what Albany does is only a small
showing compared to other places on
this northwest coast. And, again,
what she does in the wiy of improve
ments helps to push thw end of the
Willamette yalley further along in the
march of progress. When Corvallis
was advertised in the Oregonian last
spring the Albany evening paper
nearly went wild over the assertion
that "Corvallis was the head of river
navigation;" no attention was given
to the slurs it put forth simply for the
reason that nothing but an Albany
evening sheet would be guilty of such
work.
It is scarcely twenty-five years since
John P. Hale, m the United States
senate chamber, delivered the memo
rable assertion that, "the child is now
living who will see this country con
tain a population of one hundred mil.
lions." In view of the fact that the
then population was less than thirty
five millions, the prediction certainly
sounded somewhat visionary. And
and yet a quarter of a century later
shows that one half of the gap lias
already beeu covered, and even child
ren who were "of larger growth" when
Mr. Hale spoke, may have a reason
able expectation of seeing it closed.
Perhaps the census of 1919 will closely
approximate the "even total." An in
teresting estimate on this basis might
now be made as to what section of the
country will receive the largest pro
portionate share ot this increase. The
opinion that is based upon the wish,
is possibly an inaccurate conclusion,
but we may join our neighbors in the
belief that Oregan and Washington
will, at that date, each certainly
possess and probably will exceed one
million of prosperous and contented
inhabitants. And the further exami
nation of the subject induces the opin
ion that much the largest percentage
of this national growth will be found
in the newly admitted states, and prob
ably more than one half the increase
will be found west of the Mississippi
river. We had almost said west of
the Missouri, for Minnesota, Iowa and
Missouri are no longer the recipients of
extensive immigration. In fact Iowa,
once regarded as the gem of the west,
has scarcely held her own during the
last decade. The young men of to
day, both individually and collectively,
have rich prizes within their reach,
AJV UNSAFE LEADER.
The next day after the late elections
in the east some one interviewed ex
President Cleveland upon the causes of
its results, and, in his pompous way, he
says "it is evident that the leaven of tar
iff reform has at last leavened the whole
lump. The people have considered
and passed judgment."
Let's sec; Massachusetts was the
only state where the tariff w as an im
portant issue in this election, and it
went republican by a good majority. It
is quite evident that the ex-president is
anxious to have the people think that he
is the only true priest and apostle of
tariff reform and th VUt is the single
issue of every election. And yet the
people refuse to think just as he desires
them. Local issues are always domi
nant in :"ofF year" elections and it is
a case of voting for men rather than for
parties. ThisjMr. Cleveland fails to see
and it places him as an unsafe prophet
and leader foi the democrats to have
faith in or to follow.
No doubt, about next June, Oregon
will show up a republican governor
to take the seat made vacant by Mr.
Pennoyer's time expiring and another
republican member of congress will
also be chosen, then Mr. Cleveland
can talk some more about the result
of his preachings on tariff reform.
A JV IMMENSE STRUCTURE.
The Illinois Central opened its
$2,500,000 bridge across the Ohio
river at Cairo on the 29th ult. Presi
dent Fish, Vice President Harrison,
and other officials of the Illinois Cen
tral, were present at the opening.
The bridge proper is 2 miles long,
and the approaches 4 miles long. The
bridge is 58 feet above high water, and
110 feet above low water. The piers
are in pneumatic caissons, and are
sunk 50 teet below the bed of the
river. An engineering feat was here
successfully attempted which reads
like a fairy tale. At this depth below
the river no foundation was reached,
and it was impossible to sink the piers
further. They were consequently
packed with sand, and the immense
bridge is really sustained by the fric
tion of the sand on the side of the piers.
The bridge was tested with nine Mogul
engines, and was pronounced perfectly
satisfactory. It was built by the Union
Bridge Company, of Buffalo. The

Dollars and sense don't always
go together, but, in the case of the
street railway and other improvements
in Corvallis, they do. It takes sense to
use the dollars to the greatest advan
tage in the building up of the city, and
encouraging immigration. When the
court house and school building were
built it was a case of dollars and
sense going together.
THE CHAMBER OF TOKTURE
la the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from inflamitory rheumatism is
confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is reach
ed, that tine 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
cau produce no lasting-efiect npon rheuma
tism, because they have no power to elimin
ate from the blood the rheumatic virus.
Hostetter's Stomach fiittets does this, and
checks at the outset a disease which, if al
lowed to gain headway, it is next to impos
tible to dislodge or to do more than relieve.
Rheumatism, it should be remembered, is a
disease with a fatal tendeucy from its prone
ness to attack the heart. A resort to the
Bitters should, therefore, be prompt Dys
pepsia, kidney complaint, malaria and ner
vousness are relieved by it. ml.

WIS IM
In JOB'S ADDITION to the City of Corvallis.
OfhFifteen Minutes Walk from Business Center, Ten Minutes
walk from New Public School and Court House. The south
west portion of the Addition is within twro blocks of the State
Agricultural College. This most delightfully located
TEJLCT of LAND
Immediately adjoining Corvallis on the northwest was pur
chased by a syndicate who have platted and laid it out in town
lots and blocks, and is now placed upon the market. The tract
embraces seventy-five acres of rich land, there being just suffi
cient slope to insure good drainage. The entire tract has been
highly cultivated for years. It is the FINEST
RESIDENCE PROPERTY
Now on the Market, and the fact that the growth of ths city
both in public buildings and private residences is in the direction
or this property insures a rapid increase in values-
"Corvallis spent in public improvement alone the present year $165,000, not to
mention private buildings. , The erection of three substantial brick edifices, a large steam
flouring mill, a block ot elegant cottages (by outside capital) certain to be built the com
ing season, with a canning establishment and other enterprises receiving favorable con
sideration, speak well lor the development of the city. The long deferred extension ot
the Southern Pacific Company's road to a junction with the main line, seems assured the
coming season, and that the West Side will then become the main line seem equally
certain. Then indeed will this side of the valley experience such a growth and corres
ponding increase in values of property as she lias never yet known. This is the history of
the East Side, and is sure to be ours. , That Corvallis will maintain her position as the
leading city on the West Side no one can doubt. The State Agricultural College would
in itself be an important factor in the growth of any community, requiring for its main
tenance large and increasing sums each year, and drawing to our city hundreds of families
to avail themselves of our superior educational facilities. The low prices of all classes of
Real Estate as compared with some of the much-talked-of "Boom Towns" cannot tail to
attract capital, and a consequent enhancement of all values will result. It is the intention
of the company (and it Assesses both the ability and will) to make Job's addition worthy
the attention of both the home-seeker and the investor. The unsurpassed location, within
a few minutes' walk of the business centre, schools, public buildings, etc., excellent drain
age, magnificent views, etc., combine to make it specia'ly desirable as residence propertv
while the investor can not fail to net a handsome profit. The property is laid oJF in
blocks 200x300 ft.; lots 50x100 ft. The central block in the addition is reserved and will
be laid out as a public park and planted in ornamental trees and shrubbery. The com
pany have also reserved land for an electric-light station, proposing so soon as a sufficient
number of lots are sold and residences erected to operate a small plant (arc system) for
street lighting. The Corvallis Water Company have agreed to extend their mains
through tin's addition when needed. Other improvements tending to increase the value
of the property are contemplated.

this elegant property, which will be conducted in such manner as the owners of the lots
may elect and a warranty deed for the property given the person drawing it.
