SO The mote wealth a man has the louder his children talk. You cau'fc realize how few dollars there are in a $5 bill until you break it. Canada is about ready to adopt a re publican form of government, bo it is intimated. The administration has paid off about $60,000,000 of the national debt during the last six months. I New York since the beginning of this year eighty-seven persons have been killed by electric light wires. There is 23,000 bushels ol grain stored in the "farmers" warehouse at Eugene awaiting an .advance in price. In Dakota Susan B. Anthony has opened the war for woman's rights, and threatens to make the campaign warm and interesting. The moss back may be a little slow, but when it comes atound to the point f beingfpppoeed to enterprise he gets there every time. If Corvallis can't have the west side extended on to Junction she will not grieve. It would be a great help, though, to have such a thing done. It takes four tons of type for the San Francisco Examiner mail list This, evidently, is more than used by all the Oregon papers put together. There is a spot in Siberia about thirty miles square where the ground has not thawed out for the last hun. dred years and where it is frozen to the depth of sixty feet The city of Boston had a $4,000,000 fire on Thanksgiving day. Several stone and brick buildings were con. sumed, and three steam fire engines demolished by falling walls. In some parts of the country cigar ettes are quite commonly referred to as "coffin nails." This is unjust to coffin nails, which are, in their way, useful and even necessary at tides. Even when you have lost your over shoe in the mud, simple language is the most forcible. But when crossing some of Corvallis' streets you are ex pected to say almost anything. Let every resident of Corvallis have his "latch strings" on the outside for the teachers who will be here daring the coming session of the second dis trict institute during holiday week. The Knights of Labor were organ. ized twenty years ago, on the 30th of November. The first general assem bly: was held in 1879, and the name oi the order was first publicly announced in 1882. The building, which was owned by the Tribune of Minneapolis, was de stroyed by fire on November 30tb. A number of the employees lost their lives, and the total loss of property is estimated at $300,000. Bt recent acts of congress every male Indian over twenty-one years of age, who accepts an allotment of land in severalty, becomes a voter. There will probably be more than 20,000 such voters at the next election. Mondat, December 2, 1889, will be remembered by Corvallis people as the day when the new central school build, ing was used for the first time. Every citizen should be proud of (the edi fice, and also of our educational facili. tieai. For the first time since its construe, tion, the White house is free from rats as ferrets were successfully used in their extermination. Some means or ridding the White house of office-seek, ers should be invented and then the president's cap of happiness would be full., There is more unconscious humor to the square iach in the comma box than jn all the remainder of the printer's case. For instance, a liveryman ad vertises for "a horse suitable for a lady with a kug tail." Also a Southern newspaper announces the erection of a beautiful monument over the grave of gentleman "who was shot as a tribute of respect by Lis brother." ABOUT HIGH LICENSE. The indorsement given to the sys tem of high license as a practical plan for reducing the evil of intemperance. by the dignitaries of the Catholic church at Baltimore stamps that sys tem with an unexpected but very po tent approval The authorities of this greatest of Christian sects do nothing blindly, are controlled by no wave of enthusiasm and try no experiments in uiicharted ways of social reform. The Catholic church, therefore, makes few mistakes in the practical wisdom of the policies which it adopts and when it comes out squarely in favor of high license as its favorite method for aiding the cause of temperance, that system has at once a powerful ally and de fender. The resolutions adopted at a mass meeting presided over by Cardinal Gibbons show the care which the churchmen of this sect have given to the study of the subject In a few sentences the whole method and his. tory of high license are given and the way for its practical enforcement pointed out It was resolved that high license was the only feasible and peaceful means of exterminating the de'uge of vices and crimes of which drunkenness is a fruitful source. The license should be put so high as to make it practically prohibitory as re gards the multitude of low saloons Certain restrictions should be enacted as to the time and place of sale. The The number of saloons in any one ra dius should be limited bv statue and should not be allowed near a church or school, and a license should be given only to persons of tried character. Only the blindest kind of radicals upon the temperance question could object to the application in a corr.mnity of a sytem of high license which pro. ceeded by such methods to such effects. THE O. R. $ Jf. The Oregon Railway and Navigation company, now known as the Pacific division of the Union Pacific railway company, was incorporated on June 12, 1879. The capital stock was placed at $6,000,000, and the incor porators were Henry Villard, A. H. Holmes, J. B. Fry, C. Bors, W. H ' Starbuck, C. E. Bretherston, H. W. Corbett, C N. Levis, J. N. Dolph, N. Theilson and Paul Schulze. Now, 1889, this company has about thirty river steamers, which are valued at about $650,000: four ocean steamers plying between Portland and San Francisco, their total value being near $660,000. Their railway line has an enormous amount of money invested in its construction and equipage, and the traffic of the Columbia river is practically controled by them. No corporation in the country has made more money on the actual capital in vested, or has a better record in safely carrying passengers, on ocean rail, or river, than tho O. R. & N. In regard to the report about the extension of the west side 'from Cor vallis to Junction, the superintendent Mr. Brandt, thinks "there 's nothing in it" Of course, he knows (1) all abou it If the Southern Pacific company gets their eye on Astoria then what Mr. Ducky Brandt t In the minds of most people Portland is not - the only place for railroad terminal points. The purity of the ballot k the only safeguard for the perpetuity of republi can institutions. When a citizen exer cises the highest privilege of citizen ship by casting his ballot, knowing that he is exercising an influence for the general welfare of the state or nation he at once becomes an interested party in the administration of the affairs of his country. Each time a 110-ton gun is fired, $1,200 goes out of the treasury. Over one million people, and over 375,000 square miles of do main, have been admitted into the Union this month. In no other year of the American republic has so many states, since the trigi nal thirteen, come in as have been admitted during the first eleven days of November, 1889. MOTHERS!
