OREGON RI VERS AND HARBORS.
The senate committee on com
merce has finished the considera
tion of the river and harbor ap
propriation bill, and it will be re
ported to the senate without delay.
The Oregon appropriations were
considered and Senator Dolph had
a lively time in the committee,
but succeeded in increasing the
appropriations for Oregon and the
Columbia river $420,000, as
follows:
Old.
Siuslaw harbor $10,000
Yaquina By 75,000
Mouth of the Columbia 300,000
Lower Columbia aod
W illamette rivers . . . 50,000
New.
$ 20,000
85,000
350,000
150,000
The senator also had inserted an
appropriation for $250,000 for the
commencement of the boat rail
way at The Dalles rapids, with
Tjower iriven to the secretary of
war to contract for the completion
of the work, a provison similiar to
that for the canal and locks at
the Cascades. The senator says
the aDDroDriation for the mouth
of the Columbia will virtually
comDlete the work, and place it
in such a condition that it will not
suffer until another appropriation
ran be made. He hopes the $lo0
000 ; amoroDriated for the lower
Willamette and Columbia rivers
in addition to the amount beiru
expended by the city of Portland
will continue the work without
loss until another appropriation
can be secured. The provisions
for the boat railway secures the
immediate commencement of the
work, its prosecution without in
terruption, and its speedy com
pletion. Under the provision
made, the boat railway will pro
bably be completed at the same
time the Cascade locks are com
pleted. The Yaquina appropriation
would have been futher increased
but the committee were not wil
ling to appropriate the whole
amount to complete the improve
ment, and divided the amount,
leaving $80,000 for the next river
and harbor bill. Senator Dolph
secured the provisions in the bill
ibr an examination of the upper
Willamette for a new project and
improved navigation, and of Ya
quina bay, with a view of secur
ing twenty-five feet of water on
the bar. The senator feels greatly
elated, over his success in the
committee.

ounty recorder.
S. Linville for
Somk one has said. "This is
;Mr. Jolly's third attack of par
aphimosis" aud then goes on to
-ay that Dave Osburn is the best
.man for sheriff. Strange, that
while being defeated is a crime if
the candidate be a republican, the
more times this independent-democratic
paper finds a democrat has
been defeated the better it loves
Jiim-. This is friend Dave's fourth
attack of the paraphimosis and yet
be is liable to have it any time.
If Dave is the best sheriff timber
Benton county supports, she ought
to have free raw material and go
into the manufacture of this use
ful commodity. See that Jolly
fias your vote he is deserving in
very sense. Newport Times.
There will be 444 presidential
lectors in the electorial college to

HOUSE DILL NO. 160.
Introduced by Mr. Belknap and
read first time Jan. 29, 1889.
A bill for an act to appropriate
money to aid the county court of
Benton county to construct a
wagon road from Alsea valley to
Tidewater.
Sec. 1. That out of the funds
now in the treasury of the state of
Oregon not otherwise appropri
ated, the sum ot two thousand dol
lars be appropriated in aiding
the county court of Benton
county to construct a wagon road
from the Alsea valley to Tide
water, at the mouth of the Alsea
river in Benton county, Oregon.
Sec. 2. That the county court of
said county is authorized and re
quired to superintend the con
struction of said road within Ben
ton county, and that when said
road shall be completed and ready
for use, the county court of said
Benton county is 'authorized to
draw upon the treasurer of the
stafe of Oregon for the amount
herein appropriated.
The above is an exact copy of
the bill as introduced by Hon. E.
II. Belknap, in 1889. The sum
this bill appropriated was the
amount recommended by the
county court. The county court,
had at that time already expended
money in the road and had made
carelul examination and estimates
as to the amount required in their
judgment to complete the road
to Tidewater. As the petition
failed to name any sum as requi
site for the purpose, Mr. Belknap
acted on the advice and opinion
of the county court, and asked
and obtained the sum of two
thousand dollars, which sum the
said county court proceeded to ex
pend, as provided in the bill, and
Mr. Belknap is entitled to the
credit of securing the first and
only appropriation for that road
from the state of Oregon, llle
last republican legislature passed
a bill appropriating $l,5uu more
for the same road, but His Ex
cellency, the Governor, vetoed the
bill. Newport Times.
W. S. Linville, the republican
nominee tor the omce ot county
recorder, is a native Oregonian, a
thoroughpaced business man, who,
by years of industry and close ap
plication among us, has built up a
reputation for perlect honesty,
capacity and faithfulness in the
discharge of every duty assigned
him, second to none. He is well
versed, through an extensive and
varied business experience, with
all legal papers, is a fine penman,
an exnert book-keeoer. and his
methodical habits acquired in
keeping accounts tor large inter
ests, sneciallv aualifv him for Ihe
7 Jt W JL
office of recorder of Benton coun
ty. His wide acauaintance with
business and affairs generally, his
steady habits, his high standing in
social as well as business circles,
his push and energy exhibited ' in
all his undertakings, are factors
that will draw to his support all
men who desire to see a compe
tent, honest and obliging man
nlaced in the important office of
recorder. If thorough compe
tency and worth count in the se
lection for an important office,
then Mr. Linville will be elected
recorder of Benton county next
June and none will have cause
to reerefc casting their vote ior
him. Toledo Post.
Our friends ot the democratic
party are constantly urging as a
reason whv Wm. Joilv. the re
publican candidate for the offiice
of sheriff, should be rejected at
the polls next June that he has
already been defeated and must
necessarily be a weak man in con-
quence. Would they consider the
defeat of Grover Cleveland for
president a valid reason for his
defeat a second time? Will the
Leader and the Times use that
kind of an argument if he is nomi
nated ? Mr. Jolly's democratic
opponent, David Osburn, has been
twice defeated right here in Cor
vallis in a democratic stronghold.
Jolly was defeated by only 18
votes in a close county, by a man
the democrats considered unap
proachable. Under such circum
stances Jolly's defeat by so small
a majority speaks volumes in his
behalf. Jolly will make an effici
ent officer and will always be
found on hand when duty requires.
Ever since Hon. Binger Her
mann was first elected to congress
the democratic press of the state
has been seeking by every means
in their power to injure his re
putation and besmirch his char
acter. Just the same, the gentle
man - steps in at each succeeding
election with a handsomer ma
jority than before, and he will
beat all previous records this
year; 6ee if he don't.
All who vote for D. C. Rose
for county treasurer can rest as
sured that they will vote for a
worthy man, one who is honest,
capable and obliging. He is a
veteran who has served his country
well, and he will serve the county
well, if elected.
QUESTIONS FOR REPUBLICANS
TO ANSWER. '
In view of the fact that republi
can patronage has been so be
stowed as to build up an excess of
democratic newspaper circulation
it is time that a lew .uipu.ta.Ji.
questions should be pressed on
the attention of all earnest re-
nnKlins While but lew demo
crats patronize republican papers
great numbers of republicans take
rlpmorx.ilie papers regularly and
give them liberal support. They
will, no doubt, continue to ao so.
Republicans are disposed to read
both sides and listen to what the
onnosition has to sav. and while no
objection may be made to this
practice in itselt it is certainly
time to protest when such patron
age of the democratic press is ac
companied with neglect of repub
lican papers. It may be, ot course,
that some republicans are so
throughly informed that they can
learn nothing horn their local re
publican papers, but such
instances are certainly rare. As
the most powerful agency to pro
mote the success ot the party and
to inclncate and preserve patriotic
principles, the local republican
naners in every locality merit rne
generous support of earnest repub
licans. Take democratic papers if
vou choose, but not to the neglect
of those of your own party.
Let everv reouplican put nun-
self on the stand and propound
such questions as these:
Is there a republican paper puo-
lished in your county? If so do
you get a copy of such paper reg
ularly, and Jo j'ou pay ior it
promptly?
Do vou make any effort to in
duce vour friends to aid in extend
ing the circulation of local re
publican papers?
Is vour lnendship lor the
republican press active or passive?
Are vou aware that the republican
party has been put at a great dis
advantage through the lailure oi
republicans to give liberal aid and
support to the republican press?
Koseburg JtMaindealer.
Some democratic miscreant,
with a woful lack of good sound
horse sense, has taken it upon
himself to promulgate the report
that Hon. C. B. Crosno and SVil
lard Linville had combined for the
purpose of defeating B. W. Wilson
for the office of clerk, elect Ira
Hunter to that position and in two
vears elect Linville to the clerk
ship. The utter foolishness and
nonsense of such an absurd state
ment must be apparent to all, and
the fact that any person in the
possession of their faculties should
make such a declaration makes it
easy to see that the opposition is
hard up for campaign ammunition
It is scarcely necessary to say that
there is not the slightest shadow
of truth in the report.
As the day of election ap
proaches, the democrats are be
coming desperate. They are
busy circulating reports (among
republicaus however) how one
republican candidate is working
against another, and how republi
cans are fighting like Kilkenny
cats in some other precinct. At
present the precincts are widely
separated, but of- course the
nearer election day approaches
the nearer the fighting will be
When a true republican hears
such things he either traces the re
port to an authentic source, and
if it is found to be true, endeavors
to harmonize the differences, or
else pays no attention to rumors,
A dispatch " from La Grande,
dated May 17, says: "The demo
cratic campaign was to have been
opened in this city today by a
speech by G. W. Bell, of Washing
ton, who was extensively advertis
ed as an eloquent expounder of
democratic doctrine. Notwith
standing the efforts made to get
out a crowd, so few appeared that
the gentleman refused to deliver
his address. Several of the demo
cratic - candidates of both the
county and district are in the city,
and are much discouraged at the
apparent lack of interest shown.
Oregonian.
The Reporter, of Ellsworth.
Kansas, has this to say of D. C
Rose, the republican nominee for
treasurer; "D. C. Rose, we re
member, was one of the early set
clers of the Mulberry, in this
county. Several years ago he re
moved from Mulberry to Corval
lis, Oregon, where he has since
resided. We congratulate Mr.
Rose and. feel proud of the honor
conferred upon him."
Do the voters want a sheriff
who will make that office one to
which they can point with satis
faction which Mr. Jolly's well
known carefulness and high stand
ing will assure for it?
Every person iuterested in the
management of this county's af
fairs should help to elect Joe Ed
wards, of Monroe, for county commissioner.
HO W THEY ARE DOING IT.
Ed. Gazette: Last Sunday
Virgil Watters, the 'democratic
candidate for recorder, was elec
tioneering for himself and Osburn
in Kings valley, and his method
of so doing is deserving of some
attention. Not only does he make
use of the old democratic plan of
setting up the drinks to the boys,
but also tells them that whenever
they are in Corvallis to call on
Osburn and their meals, drinks
and cigars free of charge will be
furnished while they are in town.
I would like to say that the Kings
valley people do not have to sell
their votes for whiskey or meals
when they come to Corvallis.
They are well able to pay for
their own meals and drinks; if not,
they can take a lunch with them.
Kings Valley Resident.
Editor Gazette: I desire to
see fair play on all sides and while
I do not beleive in throwing mud
during political campaigns, the
democrats have seen fit to circu
late the report in some portions of
the county, that Captain Robert
son is a whiskey sot and is not . fit
for the office of assessor, for the
purpose of injuring his reputation
among the temperance people and
gaining votes for their man Alex
ander. While the Captain is a
jolly good fellow and may take an
ocassional drink or cigar with the
boys, he is far from being a whis
key sot, nor was he ever guilty of
keeping a public saloon in his own
house, as did Asa Alexander for
three weeks before the election two
years ago, where Mackay whiskey
flowed as free as water and the
young voters of Kings Valley
gathered on Sundays and were fill
ed up to intoxication. The writer
drank Mackav whiskey two years
ago with Alexander at his house,
but the whiskey did not buy his
vote for Mackay nor will it. buy it
for Osburn or Alexander at the
coming election. A Voter.
For the office ot prosecuting
attorney for this judicial district
S. W. Condon of Lane county hjis
served one term and has filled ihe
office with universal satisfaction
to all. He has had learge psactice
as an attorney and should be re
elected. See that his name is on
your ticket when you vote next
June.
Our democratic contemporary
asks if Mr. Jolly has ever shown
any particular qualifications which
make him capable of filling the
office of sheriff if elected. We
think he has. He has always
been success! ul in the manage
ment of his own business affairs,
and has shown himself a good
business man in every way. Can
as much be said in favor of his
opponent on the democratic ticket?
From present indications, says
the Portland Oracle, judging from
what you hear in "going around,"
Hon. F. A. Moore, the republican
candidate for supreme judge, will
carry Multnomah county by over
3,000 majority.
For twenty eight years B. W.
Wilson has occupied the position
of county clerk. During all that
time lie has discharged his duties
faithfully and shown that he is
just the man to retain in that po
sition. Not only do we want a man of
ability lor county school superin
tendent, but one of broad edu
cation and culture. That man is
T. H. Gragg.
You certainly want the funds of
the county to be in sale hands.
Then vote for D. O. Rose for
treasurer.
The county campaign opened in
real earnest at Waldport yefter
day. Jos. Edwards is just the man
you want for commissioner.
A REPBESEN TA VIVE WA N TED.
In former articles we have advised
going to the next legislature hy our
citizens to obtain the relief necessary
from undue taxation. This, of course,
should be done by and through the
city council if possible, but if failiug in
this, a strong petition of property own
ers backed by tespunsible uiun to urge
the necessary changes in the charter,
must be adopted. Another effective
weapon may be used in the coming
election, for at that time two repre
sentatives to the legislature are to le
elected. One ol the candidates is, or
was, city attorney during the sitting of
the last legislature, and was there urg
ing the passage of the charter under
which we now live.
. All this time very little was known
outside of the council as to the fea
tures of the charter. But with the
citizens, or many of them, there were
grave forebodings. - These led to a
petition being sent to our represen
tatives with letters praying them thst
nT'tlie charter preparedly the council
for their . use, the interests of the
property owners should be proteoted,.
The city attorney and members of Ihe
council were aware of these proceed
ings and, we suppose, caused our ef
forts to miscarry. It is not out of
place here . to say that when we saw
the charter in print, it was more serious
than we expected.; it is, we think,
whether intentional or not, "Tam
many" through and through.
Further, that though Mr. Jeffries
frustrated our -wishes of softening the
lines of the taxpayer, the work no doubt
was done under instruction, "and now,
if he would undo that which never
should have been done, he would be
the best representative the citizens
could have. Otherwise, no vote of
the property owners should be cast foi
him.
There is no one who can regret
more than the writer having to
write the words we have written, for
we have always held the gentleman in
great respect and desire his prosperity,
but our complaint is serious and se
vere, nor can good citizenship give
way to friendship. R.
