SPEEDY ACTION NECESSARY. Mr. Blumhart, who ia thoroughly conver sant with the situation, was seen this week by the Gazette man in regard to the best policy to pursue. He believes that a com mittee should be seut to Washington imme diately for the purpose of urging upon our representatives the necessity of speedy ac tion. Unless this matter is brought to the attention of the committee on rivers and harbors in the very near future, the appro priation bill will be passed, we will be too late, and another year must elapse before any government funds can be had for this purpose.' i BEST COURSE TO PURSUE. Tits t I - 1. .V 1 r , - -jf r Graham's island, has become obstructed with drift, forcing the main river through vcuKuuiiu unite, aruuiiu to me ease oi we island, at the northeast corner of which it turns through Hogue's creek and runs in a westerly f course into the old west channel. Here it turns north and runs in that direc tion to the lower end of Alexander island, where it turns in a north-easterly course and flows some distance to the bend in the river where the current threatens to divide. Here the channel again turns west, forming nearly a complete semi-circle, the diameter of which is about eighty rods, and would ex tend through an old water way from the soathern extremity of Alexander's island, to a point not far south from Fischer's mill. The bottom of this slough, or water way, is only seven feet above low water mark. By dredging this out, removing the obstructions at the upper end and putting in a wing dam at the mouth of East river, the volume of water can be confined to this channel. At any rate, this is the most feasible plan yet suggested. Mr. Blumhart says the work can be accomplished with an expenditure of only $10,000, while others estimate that it will require from $15,000 to $20,000. The Gazette, through the aid of its col umns, was largely instrumental in securing the last appropriation for this improvement and now that it has begun the agitation for another appropriation, it proposes to leave no stone unturned until successful A New Enterprise. The building on main street formerly oc cupied as a barber and tailor shop has been thoroughly overhauled, the two rooms thrown into one and will be occupied as a restaurant. Mrs. M. Armstrong, formerly proprietress of the "Royal," a most success ful cateress as well as congenial hostess, will assume charge of the new parlors on the 19th inst., where she will conduct a restaurant first-class in all its appointments. Mrs. Armstrong has proved in the past her ability to please her patrons and in this venture hopes to excel former efforts. The tables will be supplied with the best the market affords, served in an attractive style. Everything ia new and anyone wishing a good meal cannot fail to be pleased at this cafe. Popular prices will be charged and re dactions given to boarders by the week. There is an old adage that "when spring comes in like a lamb it goes out like a lion, and when it cornea in like a lion it goes out like a lamb.' This year the lion made him self heard and felt with a vengeance and dur ing the past two weeks many uncomplimen tary remarks nave been made, in which the lamb, lion and weather elerk each came in for a fair share. It is to be hoped that be fore many days the lion will retire to the seclusion of his lair, and that ' the gentle, lamb-like weather will come forth for a good long stay. We shall hope, at least, that the weather during the latter part of the month will be an improvement on that spo ken of by an old Pennsylvanian, who, after 1 OVlWlll VX10 tUUMUUU BiUIX.

The Beuton county republican club held another enthusiastic meeting at the court house last Saturday evening. Although the weather was inclement and the populists were being held spell bound by the elo quence of a speaker imported from Linn county, the meeting was well attended. The resignation of E. Finley Kitson, as cor responding secretary of the club, was ten dered and accepted. In his letter to the club Mr. Kitson expresses the belief that Benton county will cast its vote in June for the republican nominees if this club will only continue with the same energy she has evidenced since its organization, and ex tend the good work to the outlying dis tricts. A vote of thanka was tendered the Colonel for his efficient services and a reso lution introduced by Mr. Kriobel express ing the sincere regret of the club at his resignation and wishing him success in his new field of labor, was passed and the sec retary ordered to prepare a copy of same and mail to Mr. Kitson at Roseburg. B. W. Johnson was chosen to fill the vacancy. After the regular order of business had been completed Hon. G. A. Waggoner delivered an eulogy on the democratic party, which was wen received, ilia address appears in full in another column. Three excellent selections were rendered by the male quar tette club, which added much to the en thusiasm ot the occasion. The musical fea ture of the program is each evening becom ing more popular. Itjenlivens the meetings, is entertainuig to all and acts as a tonic on the sleepy ones.' Presbyterian Social. The regular monthly social of the Pres byterian church was held Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. J. A. Spang ler. The ladies of the church have an es tablished reputation for providing pleas ing entertainment, and their efforts on this occasion only went in verification of their ability. Each gentleman entering drew a card for which there was a corres ponding card held by a lady who was to be his partner for lunch. This had the effect of causing the guests to move about and meet everyone present with the re sult that all felt acquainted and quite at home. The success of the evening was largely due to the hostess, Mrs. Spangler, and her daughter, Miss Ora, who spared no pains in behalf of the company's pleas ure. Through the evening a musical pro gram was in grogress and much enjoyed by those present. It was as follows: vttai soio, miss ivuiu opangier; piano solo, Miss Leon Louis; piano and flute duet, Miss Louise Webber and Mr. Fred Yates; vocal solo, Mr. Alex Samuels; in strumental, orchestra; recitation, The Chieftian's daughter, Miss Amy Vaughn Grey-Haired Boys. The most ridiculous farce ever enacted in oar city came off at the courthouse on Wed nesday evening, pursuant to the call for a young men's democratic club. "We must rally our young bloods," said the grey beards," for between the nether mill stones of the populists and repub licans we are being ground to death." So Judge McFadden, standing for Roderick Dhu, sent the tiery cross by the youthful Malise, Jim Cauthorn, into all precincts where democrats were heard of last election, demanding that all young warriors come to the master place at once. . What language shall tell the sequel? Not a young man ap peared. The hall was brilliantly lighted, and, in order to make persons on the streets believe they were organizing a club, a few old veterans of the Confederacy stood about the windows, and by moving about, tried to make it appear that a crowd was within. Thia maneuver was suggested by lr. Wil kins, who had seen it put into successful op eration against the Union forces ma'fcy years ago but it was no go. There was not enough present to man the windows - and so the blinds were pulled down on the north side. Just what they said has not yet come to light, but. this much n knowo.' every man there bad white hair and br fs so feeble he had to be helped to a seat. A the window sill. POLITICAL ASPIRANTS. Persons Alleged to Entertain Hopes for State and County Plums. If the number of aspirants for political honors be taken as a criterion, both the re publicans and democrats seem confident of success. Although the state is generally conceded to be republican and a nomination on their state ticket is equivalent to an elec tion, there is nothing to indicate that the democratic nominating convention -will be compelled to go begging for material with which to fill up their ticket. Cautious dem ocrats, however, see plainly that the repub lican state ticket will have a walk over, and they do not feel justified in making any strife to secure a nomination, while some of those unsophisticated in political affairs and others who presume entirely too much on their individual popularity are red hot for a place, and if successful, will be ignorant enough to suppose that they can be elected. The outlook for the republican nominees was never better. The party is becoming well organized; its members are enthusias tic and all are confident of success. Fu sion of the democrats and populists is the only thing we need to fear. There is little danger of that, as the pops do not favor it, feeling confident of success without putting up any combinations. The democrats, how ever, are eager for the consummation of such a deal, as this is the only plan that can be suggested by which they can even hope for success. The following list of state offices, and the men who are said to be seeking nomina tions for them, shows how low is the tide of democratic aspiration: THE STATE OFFICES.

P. being attacked with fainting fits at one of their love feasts held at the courthouse. . A republican club was organized the other night in Philomath and we fear the Times might imagine a sim ilar performance occurred at their meeting. Mr. Williams informs ns that no fainting was indulged in. The "Times editor appears to be afflicted with "spells' of , . When one of these are on his brain refuses to per form its usual functions. His mind wan ders from the subject at issue,' apparently to some ladies' sewing bee, where fainting is both allowable and fashionable. These "spells'' usually come when attempting to write up the doings of a republican cam paign meeting, and hence he is excusable in a measure for what he says, J When this is thoroughly understood the public will sym pathize with him on account of his affliction and pay no attention to his babblings. Still on matters other than political that paper is thoroughly reliable. THE LATEST DEVELOPMElS. A Plausible Proposition Made By The Hoggs. There seems to be a good deal of do ubt and questioning as to the meaning of 1-he option paper which is being circulated among the labor and material creditors of the O. P. R. R. We notice also seveial inaccuracies in the accounts of it which have been appearing in the papers. We have taken some pains to get what w e believe to be accurate information abou t this, and the result we now place at th e disposal of our readers. The paper is ai a option to purchase these debts and not a purchase outright. This option expire s one day after the coming sale of the rail .- road, on the second of June next. If thi ? option is accepted, in the event of th : purchase of the railroad by the parties ii I question, the price to be paid for the debt s is 36 per cent in cash on the completion: of the purchase of the road, and 64 per cent in the new first mortgage interest bearing bonds, to be issued by the pur chasers. Such bonds are to be of the same rank and quality aswhatever other bonds are issued by the purchasers. They are to be issued, to trustees, to be ap proved by the judge, who are to realize them as they think best, and distribute the proceeds, without deduction, among the signers of the option paper in pro portion to the amount of their debts. It appears, therefore, that there is no ques tion of a permanent holding of these bonds, as some persons appear to think; but the realization may take place just as soon as the the bonds come into the hands of the trustees. Some such course was necessary to carry out the intention of the persons offering to take the option, as the bonds will come we suppose in the usual denominations of one thousand dollars each, therefore some way of real izing them and distributing the proceeds was involved. Some persons also have inquired what the term and amount per mile of the bonds wonld be. These ques tions cannot be answered now. The pur chasers must determine when the sale has been made, what their bond issue will be. Whatever bonds they take themselves they will give to the option sellers if they accept the options. What is good enough for the purchasers must be good enough for the creditors, and the selling of these bonds will have to be supported by these purchasers for their own sakes, we should think. Some questions have been raised as to who will be the trustees for the creditors. Of course they should have a voice in the matter; they should have trustees in whom they have explicit con fidence. By the option paper this result will be reached by the provision making the approval of the judge necessary to the appointment of the trustees. If the creditors are not satisfied with the names suggested their course is plain: to make their objections known to Judge Fuller- ton, who may be relied upon to follow the wishes of the creditors in this respect, A Deserved Appointment. KObert Jonnson was the nappy recip- ient of numerous telephonic congratula tions Wednesday evening from Portland friends, who informed him of his appoint ment as I postmaster of Corvallis. Mr, Johnson has received no other advice of his appointment except through the press dispatch in the Oregonian, and does not know when he is to take charge, This is a splendid Appointment, and will give unqualified satisfaction to the citi zens of our town. Newspaper men in the state rejoice and are glad, for his selec tion from among th'e worthy candidates, is a genuine tribute to the press. He is very popular among the fraternity, and received active and potent endorsements from .the OreeonLPress association, of which organization he was a charter member and one of the "hustlers." The Gazette does not like the politics and policy of Grover, but it must commend his wisdom in some of the Oregon post office appointments. The power of the press should be recognized. Philomath Pickings. The second meeting of the McKinley club was held Monday evening and adopted the constitution furnished bv the I committee. Then an opportunity was given for those who wished to become members to sign the roll, and thirteen more names were added to the list Then the club was ifavored by a very instructive address by Prof. Bonebrake and shorter talks by Prof. Gregg and others. After the general order of business was gone through with the meeting adjourned to meet next Monday evening. , Prof. Gregg will teach in the Union school this spring. Mr. Mason died last week and was in terred in the Newton cemetery. He was sick only a week, but endured intense suffering. Quite a number of the farmers' in this vicinity are getting short of feed for their stock. If some of the straw that is burn ed every fall in large quantities was taken care of it would come in good place about this time of the year. Dr. J. M. Applewhite has not yet re turned. . Sensational theories regarding his departure have been advanced galore. He may be guilty, but the GaxeTTE be lieves it not It is definitely known that he did not leave Albany with Mrs. Kenyon. On leaving that city by the Southern Pacific train, a girl was placed in his care, to be delivered to her parents at Woodburn. The child arrived there in safety and under the doctor's care. A Gazette reporter who has been in San Francisco some time says that he was seen frequently on the streets and at the fair, always alone, and nothing in his demeanor indi cated that he was aware of the scandal his departure had caused. Recent advices state that he will be home next week, and will , be able to prove himself innocent, and much injured by the scandal. i LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

From Albany she was ac companied by her daughter, Mrs, Chas Kohn and daughter Florence, who came up on the overland train last night. Dr. G. A. Whitney, an old resident of Philomath, died at Newport last Saturday at the age of 51. During the past few years he had resided with his family at Albany, but last July removed to Newport in hopes of benefiting his health. The deceased came to Oregon in 1868 from Ohio, and was a G. A. R. comrade. He is survived by wife and two daughters. There is nothing small about Judge Stra- han, and he is such a modest fellow, too.

At 11 o'clock last Saturday morning when Chairman Whitaker called the pop ulist convention to order, about forty per sons were present. Of this number, but sixteen were of populistic faith, the bal ance being either democrats or republi cans who attended merely out of curiosity. Addresses were made by Messrs. Dodele, Williamson, Skeels and Chenoweth, in which no new ideas were advanced. Most of their time and eloquence was de voted to a senseless harangue against the two old parties. Banks and bankers also came in for their full share of blame for the present financial condition of the country. They seem to lose sight of the fact that eastern capitalists have millions of money lying idle in New York banks on which they are receiving no income at all. Several speakers advocated the idea of two per cent government loans direct to the farmers, also the free and unlimit ed coinage of silver, and made the start ling declaration that any commodity bear ing upon its face the stamp of the United States government, was good money and would pass as such. After dinner the convention was again convened at which time delegates to the state convention, and county officers were chosen and are as follows: Delegates, James Bruce, C. Vanderpool, J. Whitaker and C. Skeels; county judge, F. A. Chenoweth; sheriff, Willard L. Price; assessor, R. Loggan; commissioner, D. Vanderpool. There was little contests for the nominations and the balance of the ticket will have to be made up later, when they can- find men who will accept them. In the even ing Ramp, of Linn county, spoke of the present political issues from a populistic standpoint. He was a fair speaker, and aside from the rank absurdities which must necessarily burden every populistic speech, it was as good as those usually delivered by campaign orators. There may be Method in His Madness. The Gazftte Iihs' taken the stand all along that the scandalous accounts re garding Dr. Applewhite, which have been foisted upon the public and given promi nence to by the editor of the Corvallis Times, were untrue. The publication ot such mat ter is a heavy responsibility in fact, the heaviest an editor can assume. What mo tive has prompted it? The good name of a respected and widely known professiqnal man is blasted; the happiness of his family wrecked; his usefulness as a public ser vant administering an important trust is directly attacked. This is done on the strength of rumors and one-sided statements, while the evidence on the other side is not presented. Why? Can it be that envious eyes are cast at the position Dr. Applewhite holds? Such things are being said. Some motive must have impelled the editor of the Times to violate the rules of a clean and hon est newspaper. What is it? The Gazette may have something more to say in this matter later oil that will be a revelation to the Corvallis public. CALL FOR REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION. A republican convention tor the county of Benton, State of Oregon, is called to meet at the court house in the city of Corvallis on Saturday, the 7th day of April, 1894, at 11 o'olock a. m. for the purpose of nomi nating delegates to the state and congres sional conventions, and candidates for the offices of county jndge and all other county officers, and to transact such other business as may properly come before the convention. The convention will consist of 57 delegates, chosen by the several precincts as follows; Soap Creek 3 Corvallis No. 1 4 " 2. ...5 " " 3.... 6 " 4.... 4 Willamette 3 Monroe ..5 Philomath 9 Kings Valley 4 Summit 2 Wrenn ..3 Lobster 1 Turn Turn 2 Fairmount 3 Alsea. 3 The same being one delegate at large from each precinct, and one delegate for every 20 votes, and one for every one-halt thereof cast for republican congressman at the elec tion in 1892. The primaries will be held in the several precincts, Saturday, March 31st, 1894, at 1 o'clock p. m. , for the purpose of electing delegates to the county convention. Thos. H. Coofer, County Chairman. AN UNSEEN ENEMY Is more to be dreaded than an open and visible one. That subtle and lurking foe, which under the generic name of malaria manifests itself, when it clutches us in its tenacious grasp, in the various forms of chills and fever, billious remittent, dumb ague or ague cake, can only be effectually guarded against by fortifying the system against its insidious attacks with Hostet" ter's Stomach Bitters, a thorough anti dote to the poison of miasma in the sys tem, and a safeguard against it thoroughly to be relied upon. In the event of a ma larious attack, avoid poisoning your sys tem with quinine, and use instead this wholesome remedy, unobjectionable in taste and far more efficacious than any drug. Use the Bitters for dyspepsia, billiousness, constipation, kidney complaints and rheu matism. In language more forcible than polite, the Gazette man was informed last Sunday that neither J. C. Hunter nor his son John were aspirants for a nomination on the dem ocratic ticket. Ira, however, still has his hazel optic on the clerk's chair and seems confident that he will have the distin guished honor of occupying it after July 1st. The chances are, even if he succeeds in getting the nomination,, he will before that date be a passenger with several disappointed democrats, bound for the head waters of Salt creek.

Tomorrow will be the 1522ud anniversary of the birth of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. According to the - most authen tic authorities, he was born near the site of Kilpatrick, at the mouth of the Clyde, in Scotland, in the year 372, and died in 464. At the age of sixteen, he was carried captive to Ireland by a band of ''marauders, but made his escape after six months, and reached Scotland. Carried off a second time, and again escaping, he resolved to become a missionary to the (Irish, and was ordained in Scotland, 'and after a' long preparation, was consecrated bishop. Having previous ly, according to some accounts, visited Gaul aud perhaps Italy, he passed over to his chosen field of labor about 432, and preached the gospel w ith such extraordinary effect that although not absolutely the first t introduce Christianity into that country, he has al ways received the credit of its general con version. He baptised the kings of Dublin and Munster, and before his death' had con verted almost the wholensland to'the, faith. It appears that he appointed several bishops with whom he held councils to settle the discipline of the church which he had plant ed. The Roman Catholic church keeps this festival on March 17th.
