TO TAX-PATERS AND VOTERS. n COAST DEFENSES. Senator Dolph, as chairman of mmmitififl on coast defenses of "th fiftv-first consress, contributed uninteresting article to the New York Recorder on that subject. That paper . highly compliments Senator Dolph upon the publica tion of this article jn the following language: ' The article which he has fur nished for our columns will en hance the reputation he has earned as the author of official addresses and reports on the subject to which his attention has been aevotea, In fact, the contribution which it eiyes us pleasure to publish, is an exrtert compendium of the recenl nroffresa and present condition of years, the science of war as applied to the protection of American ports against attack from the sea. As chairman of this committee, Senator Dolph has most naturally become the foremost authority on the measures necessary to render oar seaboard secure against foreign incursion. He has given the mat ter thorough study, and has a broad conception ot the necessi ties serviceable to our coast line. Thus his knowledge will be a potential element in the delibera tions of the fifty-second congress Vin pnast. defenses. Speaking of the importance ot legislative action iannn the protection of our sea eoastj Senator Dolph observes: One of the most important ques the President Harrison's message is a plain, business-like document. Itdeals with emphasis upon the Chilian "and Behring sea questions, the New Orleans lynching, the silver and tariff problems, the ger rymander, and many other impor tant matters. On the tariff ques tion the president comes out bold ly in defense of the McKinley law, and says: "Rarely, if ever before in the his tory of the country, has there been a time when the product of one day's labor of the product of one farm crop could, purcnase sucn a large amount of things that enter into the living of the masses of the people. I believe that a lull test will develop the fact that the tariff act of the fifty-first congress is very favorable in its effect upon the prices of articles flowing into common use. The president makes some plain comparisons on imports and ex ports the past year with previous and shows the economy inaugurated in the operations of the new tariff law. It is evident that the country's industrial in terests have been materially bene fitted, and that commerce has been enlarged and strengthened. The president says again: It is interesting, ana to some will be surprising to know that during the year ended September 30, 1891, our imports of merchan dise amounted to $824,745,270, which was a increase of more than $11,000,000 over the value of the imports of the corresponding T months.of the previous year, wnen the imDorts of merchandise were 13rcA in anticipation of the tariff legislation then pending. The average annual value oi ineim- nnrfa nf merchandise for the ten T rttskY will -vr- - V-fnrft next coneress for consideration is years from 1881 to 1890 was $692,- that of coast defenses. The re cent improvement in guns, pro jectiles, explosives, armor and other offensive and defensive ap- nliances have rendered our exist ing defenses comparatively worth less. Onlv a besnnnine: nas peen 186.522. and during the year end ed September 30, 1891, this annual average was exceeueu uy sjno-s, 528.469.

Being a citizen, a voter, and a tajc-payer, as soon as 1 had read the article mentioned, which was in the editorial columns of your paper, I went to the president and secretary of the water company, showed them the article and asked their version of the matter. From the information which I obtained from them, my own knowledge of the condition of the water worlcs and from comments which have been made by well advised and representative citizens I am con vinced that the object ot at least the first "Reauest" mentioned is ill-advised and its statements can not be verified. The Gazette being a champion of iustice and having indicated that the matter is open tor discus sion, vou will pardon me if in crit icising "Request No. 1," I am led into a severity of expression which mav possibly hurt somebody's ieel- ing8. If the feelings of the author of "Request No. 1" are hurt, trust it will be seen that nothin has been said which is not justified by the fact that "Request No. 1, if successful in its purpose, would be to damage seme good citizens, affect their property interests and be the means of inciting the city to violate its agreements and break faith with those who in the investment of considerable capital have relied on the city to abide its compact.

The strategic occasions of warfare are almost incomprehensible,and petty international disturbances may re- salt very disastrously within the limits of a very brief period. Sen tor Dolph gives vent to his idea of warfare when he adheres to the ' antiauated proverbial maxim, In time of peace prepare for war." He says: The best way of preserving an honorable peace is preparation for irar. The knowledge that an ad- Tersarv is Drenared to resent an lUBUlIt Or IcllVO 1BULCSO 1U1 miUlJoJ will make a nation careful to avoid cause for offense. While prepara tion for war might make us more tenacious- of our rights, it would make other nations more ready to accord them to us, The idea is well taken. We are on peaceful terms with other na tions only as long as they permit as that privilege. At the present , time, under existing conditions, an evasion of foreign conquest would utterly destroy our commerce on the sea. and render the situation .helpless at home and deplorable abroad. Of our needs in the line 6f coast 'defenses, Senator Dolph affers the following recommenda tions: ' We need a number of fast cruisers with modern high-power guns to police the seas, to bear our flag to foreign ports, and in case of war to destroy the commerce of the enemy. We need for Jthe ixjrt of San Francisco and the mouth of the Mississippi, and pro bably for the . port of New York, floating batteries, not designed for sea service, built for strength, of Bcht draft, with thicker armor and more powerful euns than those of the ships ot an enemy which could . tA-brought against them. But fixed J fortifications for coast de ffisssa should be provided before we provide a navy of great armored . war ships. ' Throughout Senator Dolph's ar tide consists of many statesman like suggestions. It urges appro priatiops for hasty operations, and the advice should be timely laKen and regarded with popular ap provah '.The Gazette will appreciate cor- " fespondence of news items from nirlihnrin localities.

Uoon this - question the president makes a few emphatii noints as follows It is not my purpose nere 10 discuss the question, whether a choice by the legislature or by the voters of equal single districts is a choice by the state, but only to recommend such regulations of this matter by constitutional amendment as will secure uniform ity and prevent that disgraceful partisan jugglery to which such a liberty of choice, if it exists, offers a temptation. Nothing now is more important than to provide every guarantee for the absolute ly fair and free choice by an equal suffrage with their respective states of all the officers of the national government, whether that suffrage is applied directly, as in the choice of members of the house of representatives, or indirectly, as in the members of the senate and the electors of the president. Respect "for public officers and obedience to the law will not cease to be the characteristics of our people until our elections cease to declare the will of ma jorities fairly ascertained without fraud, suppression, or "gerryman der." All in all, President Harrison's essace is a model state paper, It reflects statesmanship and wis dom on the part of its author, while it indicates a determination of devotion to duty in the servi tude of the public welfare, and a conscientious regard for the com mon interests. ' COR VALLIS' SLO W GRO WTH. A slow and steady growth is significant. It means permanency, certainty and safety. A slow growth never falls with a sudden susDension of business and indus trial interests. Corvallis is emovins such a growth at this time. Property nnees are slowly but surely ad vancing, thus securing safety in real estate investments, which arrow in wealth with the flight of time. Manufacturing institutions are sprinsring up, in recognition of the future importance ot (Jorvallis as a commercial center. , J he rail road connection with the harbor at the sea, and a prospective overland Shasta route to the Golden State, are evidences of a prosperous future outlook. Let us pull together for the en couragement of home industries, and the development of our wou- drous resour&es in, every depart ment that enters into the acquisi tion of wealth, as well as the pre servation and security of persona and individual interests. "In union there is strength," indeed the petition is signed and pre sented, will be made, that citizens believe the water company's pipe and works to be faultily construct ed, and later on suggests employ ing an expert to. examine them and report their condition. I asked the company about that, and was informed that some two blocks were laid with four-inch pipe, connecting . with six-inch pipe, and that complaint has Been heard on that account. In order that no uncertainty might be felt in the matter tests were properly made to the mutual satisfaction of the city and the company long asro and tne city nas not oeen heard to complain of that matter since. However, for the satisfac tion of anyone concerned, the com- . i pany lias now in coniempiauun another connection ot a two-inch pipe with the six-inch pipe below the said four-Inch pipe, which will give a uniform six inch pressure at all points oeiow tne piace oojectea to. Competent experts from other places have examined the works, pumps, tubs, power, connections and all parts of the works and have repeatedly stated that they are as good as any in the state. Just by way of comparison let me mention the support given to the Fairhaven water company, when that city was no larger than Cor vallis. Fifty hydrants at $5.00 per month for city use and the city furnished its own hydrants, to boot; whereas,Corvallis first agreed to use three at $3.00 per month, and has since increased the num ber to nine hydrants and seven eisterns. In all fairness, is it just and right to demand absolute pro tection to the city for this amount mm that this or any other town ought to be properly protected from fire. But to throw the responsibility of the city's neglect on the water company's shoulders seems hardly fair. No one acquainted with the facts will presume, I think, to al lege any violation of its contract with the city on the part of the water company. The writer knows something about that. At the fire in the lower end of town, when an old shed burned down about 18 months or two years ago, it was said that the water did not respond to the call for it from the water company. What was the fact? ..It was ascertained that there was leakage at the hose connection, and the great length of hose used caused friction, which, with leak age, was accountable for the poor supply. At the hydrant the sup ply was all right. - The water company is not under contract to supply a pressure from the pump into the mains at all hours; on the contrary, the pres sure contracted for is from the tubs. The water company has let no cistern go empty, has not al lowed at any time the stipulated pressure at the city's hydrants to cease. If this be true, will some onethe author of the "Request No. 1," for instance indicate wherein the" company has violated its agreement or contract ? As, a matter of fact, the writer, who is alwnvs at firfts. and usual I v frnes . . . i i ... on patrol amy, nas neariy every time gone straight . to the water company's engine to see that the proper amount of steam is kept up during the fire and only once has he found the pump not worK ing at full pressure, and then the contracted pressure from the tubs was on. But it is just to the com pany to say that before the hose connections were made the pump was at work. The writer is not any more fond of the water company than some of the rest of the citizens. He does not like to pay for two lots when, ia fact, he sprinkles less than the area of one ; and there is that old prejudice against monopo lies and corporations which is deep-seated if not inherent, that makes him feel like rejoicing when it or any other monopoly gets a "black eve," so to speafc, but even "the devil should have his due," and if the water company has not violated in some particular any of the provisions of its contract with t.hp. r,itv I do not think it is fair to say that it has ; or that any citizen would be justified in petitioning to the council, expressing sucn a be lief when, in fact, he might not be able to state wherein the violation had been made. As a matter of justice and fairness it seems to me that citizens, before signing the petitions mentioned, would do well to insist on having authentic in formation as to the alleged viola tion on the part of the water com nanv's contract. In an early day Mr. Wm. Pitt man; who had a planing mill here, nut ud a small tank, and after a time he circulated a paper among the property owners of Corvallis to ascertain what support he could get for the establishment ofa good sized water works, but being un able to get the support he needed the matter rested for a time. Afterwards a joint-stock company was organized, a pump procured and some pipe and hydrants put in. The business and patronage of the company increased, stock changed hands, franchises were obtained and contracts with the city made, as above stated, ana new capital invested. The earn ings of the company, so I am in formed, have been largely used in increasing the plant, extending the the pipes, enlarging the tanks, and otherwise making the works of a permanent and durable nature. It is hardly necessary to repeat that a company intendind to continue m business would put in faultily constructed works or pipes, or would wantonly violate city con tracts, knowing that to some ex tent they are dependent on the city for success. I protest against proceeding in the manner mdicac ed in the petitions. Let some vio lation be charged: so the company could have a chance to meet the charge and I will not be heard to object : but until that is done I will not stand idlv by and near -, .1 . even mv enemv conaemneu un heard. Tax-Payer, their time where they will gain, not lose. In the new city hall, which is to soon ornament Cor vallis, there is abundant space for a free library, and every taciiny for keepine it open, accessible and attractive, with .scarcely any ex pense to the city. Let us make the council understand that the peo ple expect of them this very easy thing, on the advantage oi which to the citv there cannot be two opinions. .... Believe me, sir, it is no slight thing, when commending Corvallis to hpmeseekers at a distance, to be able to say that this little city in the far west not only has fine public buildings, admirable public schools, the agricultural college of the state, water worKS, eieciric lighting, street -car lines, three newspapers, and various, growing industries, but also has well-filled and supported churches, and main tains in her city hall a public reading room and free library Every well disposed man knows. without argument, that a point like this last might well serve to determine a choice of residence in favor of Corvallis, as between it the like attractions.

(Jorvallis is bestirring itself at last in a way that warms the hearts of some of its citizens who, after many dis couragements, were coming to disbelieve in any worthy public sentiment. New public builaings, new public enterprises, flourishing schools, every house inhabited, new residences springing up in the various additions to the city; all this is encouraging to all believers in the city that, having long been called "the heart of the alley," is at last beginning to pulsate with more generous blood. JSow, this growth means pew duties, not only to the present citizens, but also to those who are attracted- to the city by the in ducements of employments of various kinds. Corvallis gives them the chance to earn money, and plenty of opportunity to spend money. Let us unite to give" the younger men, especially, the chance of passing some at least of Six hundred and twelve bills were introduced in the senate last Thursday morning, breaking the record in the way of measures in troduced in a single day. Among them was one by Plumb,of Kansas, to provide for the retirement of national bank notes and free coin age of silver. The bill was intro duced by Plumb last session with few amendments. Senator Dolph introduced a bill appropriating $1,000,000 to establish a gun fac tory on the Pacific coast; also con tinue in force the Chinese exclu sion act of October 18, 1888, with an amendment requiring Chinese in the United States to be re moved to China, besides appro priating $525,000 for improve ment on the lower Columbia. The senator also introduced a bill ap propriating $100,000 for a public building at Salem, and the same amount for aDubhc building at Baker City. Senator Mitchell fol lowed these with an appropriation ot $2,863,356 for boat railways at The Dallas, Oregon, Celilo falls, and Ten Mile rapids of the Colum . bia river, and for the improve ment of Three Mile rapids. This is an extremelv eood record, and Oreeon's representation seem to be "in it." In the senate last Thursday Senator, Mitchell presented a peti tion signed bv a large number of citizens from Oregon, praying con gress to take whatever action may be necessary to invite a conference of the covernments of the world during the World's Columbian Ex position, for the purpose of devis ing means by which the principles of arbitratiorimay be incorporated in treaties, that conflicting inter national laws may be harmonized, and an international court estab lished having jurisdiction in cases which governments shall fail to settle by negotiations. $75 MONTH $300 Do You Want Employment f By which iov can make from 75.00 to $250.00 PJER MONTH the amount depending on whether you work part or all your time, and on the amount of VIM and vigor and pluck and push you put into the work.
