Deceased meat continues to be

President Harrison has resigned.
We mean the president of the

The west side of the Willamette
valley is now beginning to catch up
with the east and, in time, will be in
the lead.
A man named Gray eight yeavs ago
was offered five lots in Spokane Falls
for $10 apiece. Last summer one of
the five was sold for $45,000.

The democratic leaders have an

This will meet with the approval of
tshe republican party.
Wyoming, Idaho, New Mexico, and
Arizona, will be knocking for admission
into the union as states when con

tome in, if they prove worthy enough.
In the whole history of great na
tions no change of government so com
plete was ever made in so short a
space of time as the metamorphosis ot
of the empire of Brazil into a republic.
-A scHOOLBOY-in New Jersey recently
read an essay on man, in which oc
urred this pleasant bit of description:
Man is a wonderful animal. He
lias eyes, ears, mouth. His ears are
mostly for catching cold in and having
the earache. The nose is to get sniffles
with. A man's body is split half way
np, and he walks on the split ends.
When those long overland trains
Jiegin to pull through Corvallis it will
be amusing to see how greatly sur
prised the tourists will be at the fine
and imposinglippearance of our pub
lic buildings? They cannot help but
see them, as the track is in the center
of the city not away off to one
side.
An international 'postage stamp,
good in England, France, Germany
and the United States, is seriously
proposed. Its chief use would be to
enable persons to remit small amounts,
such as are usually sent in stamps,
from one country to another. It
might pave the way for international
coinage.
Oregon crankologists are always
jlrst in the field when a new party or
lub is talked of. The "Nationalists"
are the next to try and demand atten
tion. If they form many more new
organizations where, oh where, will the
prohibition party be. Maybe when
they all get formed it will be the
"National Reform Prohibition Crank
party."
The new state of Washington has
her great unfnown land like the in
terior of. Africa. The country shut in
by the Olympic mountains, which in
cludes an area of about 2,500 square
miles, has never, to the positive knowl
edge of old residents of the territory,
been trodden by the foot of man, white
or Indian. These mountains rise from
the level country, within 10 or 15
miles from, the straits of San Juan de
Fuca in. the north the Pacific ocean
in the west, Hood's, canal in. the east
and the basin of the QumaU lake in
thi h, and, rising to a height of
6,00u to 8,000 feet, shut in- ft vast ua
explored area.. ?
"THE PROHIBITION SHIP."
Miss Frances Willard is a noble
woman, endowed with a lofty spirit of
philanthropy-bufc, tor all that, her vision
is dimmed by the hazy atmosphere
of impractibility that hangs over the
prohibition camp. She is the trusted
leader of an organization of truly, good
women, whose actions ' are controlled
more by emotional impulses than by
the cold light ot reason. So when
she arises in convention and deals out
glittering generalities about the happy
time when the "good ship Prohibition"
shall come sailing into harbor, with
colors flying and a cargo of prosperity
and good will on board, she is cheered
to the echo, and her . auditors hug to
their bosom the delusion that they are
saving the world and are happy.
This is alWery fine, and does little or
no harm; but for all that it will never
solve the" liquor problem, says the
Spokane Review. Prohibition has had
a fair trial and has been found wanting.
A few years ago the school of emotional
orators declaimed so loudly and ear
nestly that a great many people who
recognized the evils flowing from the
saloon, and observed, as all do, that
high license fell short of the ideal,
were influenced to the extent of giving
prohibition a trial. That they have
lived to rue the day, the results of the
recent elections in prohibition states
give ample proof. In some of these
the sentiment against the experiment
has grown so strong that the people,
grown weary of an era of free whisky
and unrestrained saloons, have risen
with a strong impulse and cast the in
cubus away from them.
If the good ship Prohibition carries
so generous a cargo of contentment
and sobriety, ho v comes it that Iowa,
harboring, as she has for several years,
this figurative craft, has been unabl e
to share a few of these blessings? If
prohibition closes the saloons, banishes
prisons and makes tenantless the aims,
houses and insane asylums, why do we
find these deplorable institutions within
the limits of Iowa, Kansas, Vermont
and other prohibition states? And
where shall we seek an explanation of
the political revolution that lately swept
across the state of Iowa, and converted
a hitherto republican stronghold into
a democratic state, if the voters of that
state are so contented and happy? -If
there are no prisons, nor almshouses,,
nor asylums within the broad borders
of prohibition Iowa, why are the peo
ple complaining of burdensome taxes,
and emigrating by thousands into sur
rounding states where the high license
system is in operation?
The Review (nor Gazette) is no
friend or admirer ot the saloon. It
does not seek to gild vice or evil, but
it recognizes in the saloon the out
growth, the effect, of a cause, and that
cause, it believes, is a curse that has
always shadowed the progress of hu
manity, and always will so long as the
animal part of man delights in the
effects of alcoholic stimulation.
At the recent meeting of the
Christian Endeavor Society in
New Haven, Conn., Rev. H. N.
Kinney thus described the prayer
meeting of the future: "It will in
general be upside down and inside
out, compared witn the prayer
meeting of to-day. The prayer
meeting of the future will have a
cheerful open fire. The leader
will sit where he pleases, only it
will be near somebody. The com
pany present will face one another
in cozy groups around the evening
lamps, only no one will be allowed
his favorite corner."
A nationalist remarks that if the
government owned all the land, a
house that now costs $6,000 could
be built for $2,000, and would
rent for $30 a year. Who would
get the rent?
It is said that the statue to A.
J. Stevens, late master mechanic
of the Central Pacific road, erected
at Sacramento, is ' the first statue
of a workingman erected- in this
country.
It would take a train 3,125
miles long to carry the Kansas corn
crop.
MOTHERS!
Castoria is recommended by physicians
for children teething. It is a purely vege
table preparations, its ingredients are pub
lished sronnd each battle. It is pleasant to
the taste and absolutely harmless. It re
lieves constipation, regulates the boweis,
quiets pain, cures diarrhoea and wind colic,
allays feverishness, destroys worm, and
prevents convulsions', sootTies th6 child . and
gives it refreshing and natuaal sleep. Cas
toria is the children's panacea the mothers'
faeud, 35 doses, 35 cents, 3U6-2y..
THE . CHAMBER OF TORTURE
Is the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from inflamitury rheumatism is
confined. If, 'ere the crisis of pain is reach
ed, that tine pieverititive, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, is used by persons of V
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 rheumatic1 irns.
H" tetter'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 bo remembered, is a
disease with a fatal tendency 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.

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
gCCorvallis 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, ot the city. The long deferred extension ot
the Southern Pacific Company's road to a junction with the main line, seems assured the
. coining season, and that the West Side will then become the main line seems equally
certain. Then indeed will this side of the valley experience such a growth and corres
ponding increase-in values of property as she has never yet known. This is the history of
the East Side, and is sure
