A CHANGE IMPROBABLE.
Various at'jorueys have various meth
ods of workiiicr up the cause of their
clients. Some prefer to practice in a
legitimate, straightforward way, while
others seek lo accomplish their ends
through ways that are dark. Of the lat
ter class, T. N. Strong, the alleged attor
ney of Ginn & Co., and other publishing
firms interested in a change of school
text books, has adopted a style of prac
tice altogether new and original he
pleads his case through the columns of
the Oregonian. Law briefs are usually
paid for, but Mr. Strong seems to have
a faculty of sesuring the publication of
his as a communicatiod.
After heaping insult after insult upon
the school teachers and superintendents
of Oregon; accusing them of being a ver
itable school machine, run in the sole
interest of the American Book Company,
and insinuating that the superintend
ents and board of examiners have been
bribed by it in the past, and that they
will be again, the Committee of One
Hundred, through Attorney Strong, at
tempts to intimidate them into voting
for a change in text books by threaten
ing them with exposure. He is making
a desperate oflbrt to force a vote that will
be favorable to his alleged clients. Al
though the people's welfare should be
considered first, he attempts to make the
interests of those publishers who want a
change, paramount to all other interests.
In this he will never succeed, and if he
has undertaken the task on a contingent
fee he had better- make a new contract,
and require a good sized retainer.
During the coming two months, books
for use during the next six'years will be
selected. These publications will be
chosen by ballot in which forty-one votes
may be cast thirty-two by county super
intendents, and nine by members of the
state board of examiners. This vote" is
to be canvassed by the Committee of One
Hundred, and the result of their findings
will be published in the Oregonian.
Those who vote for the books now in use
will be regarded with suspicion as having
been unduly influenced by the American
Book Company, while those who vote for
the publications of rival firms, which will
cost the school patrons a quarter of a
million of dollars, will be considered
above reproach. Of the forty-one votes,
two will be cast- by citizens of Benton
county. They are both regarded as men
of sound judgment; friendly to the inter
ests of the school patrons of Oregon, and
have no axes to grind. They are gentle
men of integrity and can not be purchas
ed, an the Committee of One iIundred
would have it appear. Threats of expo
sure and malicious insinuations of dis
honesty will not swerve them from doing
their duty for duty's sake; and, when
they have done so, it will be an honor to
have their names placed on record as
having served the interests of one hun
dred thousand school children rather
than a half dozen school book publishers,
whose books Attorney Strong is work
ing so assiduously to have adopted.
Should a change be voted, its evil effects
will not ba felt until next fall, when par
ents will be compelled to expend from
2.50 to $5.00 for new books for each of
their children. Although books pur
chased this year may be in good condi
tion they will be discarded when the
change takes place. These circum
stances, coupled with the hard times,
especially when the books now in use are
giving satisfaction, makes the move both
unwise and unpopular. Under these con
ditions it is altogether improbable that
men of sense and good business judg
ment will favor a change.
PORTLAND'S FAIR.
There was a time when Portland was
. up to date. Until this year, she has giv
en an industrial exposition annually.
These displays have always been looked
forward to with pleasure by those in a
position to attend. Each year, the expo
sition has been a credit to Portland, and
to the state. Now they want to bring
the fag end of the world's fair to Portland
aftar it has been exhibited in San Fran
cisco and Tacoma. The everlasting wail
of "economy," "retrenchment," "hard
times," and the like, which has gone up
from Portland's Committee of One Hun-
dren, and been given vent to through the
columns of the Oregonian, has led every
one living in the cow counties to believe
that the metropolis is about bankrupt.
People residing outside of Portland see
that there is no end of bickerings among
the business men there, and that there is
no disposition evidenced to pull together
for the general advancement of their
mutual interests. Such lack of harmony
can never build up a city or a state, nor
will it make the tail end of a two-year-old
show either interesting or a financial
success. Prom the depressing statements
sent broadcast by the Committee of One
Hundred, no one in. Benton county can
believe that there is enough money left
in Portland to buy even a meal ticket.
How, then, can we expect an exhibition
gotten up under such circumstances to be
worth the seeing? Whenever Portland
getirid of her moss-back committee she
will resume her wonted air of prosperity,
and not before. Then the exposition
will be reopened for the display of Ore
gon wares, Oregon fruits, Oregon grains,
Oregon minerals, and other products of
the state. Then the people of Portland
will find that every citizen of the state
will take a personal pride in making the
enterprise a success. For the present,
however, the Gazette will say to its
readers what the Oregonian said, during
the progress of the world's fair, "stay at
home and save your mony."

The Polk County Teacher's Associa-
I tion will be organized nt "Dallas Ratnrdav
--o J ,
October 27th. Let Benton county teach
ers look well to their laurels.
In spite of the stormy weather, the fol
lowing rural teachers attended the B. T.
A. on Saturday; Mrs. Nelms, Miss Car
rie Woods, Messrs George Denman, W.
T. Lee, and Frank Watkins. This should
speak volumes in their lavor to the pa
trons and officers of the schools they
teach.
Miss Eunice Alexander began the win
ter term of school in district No. 36, near
Summit, on Monday.
On Saturday evening of last week Miss
Carrie Woods organized a local reading
circle in district No. 8. We have not
learned what books will be read, but feel
sure that, under an earnest teacher's
guidance and the hearty support which
the parents of this district are giving Miss
Woods, the circle will be a decided suc
cess. Who'll be the next?
W. T. Lee, of Bell Fountaine school,
has two very interesting literary socie
ties in progress in his school, one of
which is under control of the pupils, and
the other is conducted in the interests of
patrons and "old folks" generally. This
is something to be commended, and we
trust that other teachers will take up the
good work.
The Benton County Teacher's Associa
tion was m session on Saturday last.
The forenoon session was devoted to
queries and discussions on White's School
Management to page 43- the work of
the afternoon was devoted to scanning
the coming month's reading in Cathcart's
Literary Reader, a study of methods in
percentage, and a general discussion of
topics of interest to teachers, and of
importance to our schools.
Quite an interest was manifested in the
subject of grading the country schools,
and the sentiments expressed were favor
able to the adoption of a course of study.
Owing to inclement weather, the attend
ance was light; but the few who were pres
ent manifested an interest in the proceed
ing that augurs well for the success of the
association. The next meeting of the
association will be held in philomath, on
Saturday, November 17th, for which an
interesting program has been prepared.
Next month's reading circle work is from
pages 48 to 86, inclusive, in White's
School Management, and in Cathcart's
Literary Reader, from the beginning to
page 136. This will be reviewed at the
Philomath meeting, and we trust that
every teacher in the community will take
up the work. For information, corres
pond with Prof. S. I. Pratt, or the county
superintendent.
The following, which we clip from the
Oregon School Journal, received today,
is in line with the remarks in this column
last week: "California has a law provid
ing that teachers shall be dismissed only
for violations of the rules of the school
board, for incompetency, for unprofes
sional or immoral conduct. Districts
may, however, employ teache rs for a
definite term, thus making tlje law virtu
ally optional. This is a move toward
greater permanency, and shows that
teaching isjbeing more and more regarded
as a profession. When teachers are em
ployed nine months in the year, and it is
generally understood that they are to re
tain their positions so long as they ren
der faithful service, the ranks will be
kept full of ambitious and better educa
ted young men and women."
OREGON PACIFIC SAXE.
Will the Oregon Pacific sell, and will
the sale be confirmed, are the questions
uppermost in the minds of those inter
ested in the future welfare and develop
ment of this section of the state. Last
Saturday an adjourned sitting of the cir
cuit court was had; at which time the
court fixed the date of sale between the
15th and 22nd of December. A notica
ble feature of this session was the absence
of the usual large array of legal talent,
which has always been present to offer
suggestions and objections to every move
ment during the three years of continu
ous litigation. There was some little
sparring between Lawyers Bryson, Nash
and Weatherford as to the wording of
the order involving the question of
whether the taxes should be paid by the
purchaser, or out of the proceeds of the
sale. Besides wanting the taxes paid by
the purchaser, Mr. Weatherfojd was anx
ious for an order of reference to deter
mine the relative priority of all claims
against the receivership, so that a dis
bursement of the proceeds could be had
immediately after the sale was confirmed.
During the discussion, it developed that
about $ 60,000 was due for taxes, and that
no deduction for indebtedness had been
claimed. Had this offset been demanded
at the time the assessment was made, it
would probably have been sufficient to
relieve the company from taxation alto
gether. Prior to the operation of the
present assessment law deductions for
indebtedness were allowed if demanded
before the roll came into the hands of the
sheriff. This was not attended to for the
reason that the company believed it was
exempt altogether by reason of a statute
enacted to that effect several years ago.
This law, however, was held to be un
constitutional and therefore all taxes le
gally assessed against the property are
due and collectable. It is not at all im
probable from expressions of several at
torneys that a portion of these taxes, at
least, will be found to have been ilWallv
assessed and consequently worthless.
Besides fixing the date, the order of sale
requires a deposit of $ 100,000, the road
is to go to the highest bidder for cash.
provides for the payment of taxes from
the proceeds of the sale and provides
further that the unpaid balance between
the deposit of ioo.ooo and the amount
bid shall be paid within 30 days after a
confirmation of the sale.
NEWSY COIXBGE NOTES.

Prof. Craig is busily employed in getting
out a bulletin on the Oregon thistles, and
the best way to exterminate them. He will
discourse in this bulletin five different vari
eties of thistles. This bulletin will be il
lustrated with Prof. Pernot's half-tone en
gravings. Early next spring a bulletin will also be
printed on the native clovers of Oregon.
Over forty different varieties will be men
tioned and illustrated. This bulletin wil'
be the first of its kind on the Pacific coast,
Person desiring bulletins can obtain
them by simply sendiag their
names and addresses to the director of
the experiment station.
The chrysanthemum season is just com
mencing and a large and beautiful collection
will soon be in full bloom, both in the
greenhouses and on the grounds. The
green ami forcing houses have ' been
newly painted and fitted up and now pre
sent a most neat and stylish appearance.
The new heater has also been put in its
place and works to a charm, the houses be
ing as well heated now as any in the coun
try.
The tobacco experiment recently carried
on in the horticultural department has
proven quite successful, as the growth was
very prolific, and the leaves seem to be of
good quality, so far as can be judged at this
early date. The same experiment will be
performed on a much larger scale next year
Another interesting experiment is the
trial of a few roots of Carnegrie, a bulbous
plant now coining into great, favor on ac
count of its tanning properties. The plant
looks like an antiquated sweet potato and
has a very penetrating odor. It is a native
of Arizona, where it grows wild on the
plains. It is very productive Od sells at
$o0 a ton. Prof. Shaw is also interested in
this experiment and has written for more
bulbs. When they arrive they will be dis
tributed to places in Eastern and Southern
Oregon, so that next year it will be known
where Carnegrie flourishes best.

TWO FAVOBABLE EEPLIES.
Representatives Hofer of Ma
rion, and Daly of Lincoln-Benton,
Favor the Gazette's
Wagon Road Plan.
From Hon. E. Hofer, editor of the Cap
ital Journal, who is now on a six-weeks
campaigu tour in North Dakota and Iowa,
the Gazette has the following interesting
letter which is self-explanatory:
B. W. Johnson, Editor Gazette, Corvallis,
Oregon:
Dear Sik: In reply to yours of Sep.
25th, will say that both as a member of the
legislature, and with our newspaper, to the
full extent of our limited abilities, L shall
heartily support your plan of extending by
wagon road the Oregon Pacific railroad
through Miuto's Pass, er any other availa
ble route, into Eastern Oregon. A well
built thoroughfare, connected by rail across
the Willamette valley, would pour out
through Yaquma Bay thousands of tons of
prodncts and take back countless tons of
merchandise and products of this valley.
There are many reasons why a wagon
road extension is the only practical means
of forming a connection between Eastern
and Western Oregon at present. By their
corrupt mismanagement, railroad managers
have made it impossible to enlist capital,
either American or foreign, in railroad
extensions, and if there were no other rea
sons we need not look fur a dollar to be
invested in railroads in Oregon or any other
state for years to come. But the pool of
foreign corporations entering Oregon has
undoubtedly since years enforced a decree
that no extensions nor new lines shall be
built in Oregon, and any line that was built
would be at their mercy for traffic arrange
ments. A wagon-road extension is peculiarly ap
propriate in view of the fact that it is only
by wagon roads that people living off the
Oregon Pacific are now able to take advan
tage of its low sea-going and local freight
rates, and are hauling heavy freight to and
from it between Eugene, Independence and
Corvallis, and many other, points. The
local rates put in force by our railroad com
mission to throttle traffic over the Oregon
Pacific and to prevent shipments into this
valley in aoy other manner than ever the
Southern Pacific railroad, undoubtedly re
flects the attitude of the millionaire mana
gers In California and their satraps in Ore
gon who have no more interest in Oregon
than though they were European landlords
taxing a tenantry.
The $20,000 appropriation now spent on
our worse than worthless railroad commis
sion could be far better invested opening a
wagon road to Eastern Oregon. If the people
had the full service of the rervants they pay
so well to look after their interests, but who
look after other interests with a devotion
that is appalling when we consider the
theory of our government, perhaps they
might hope to have the use of the railways
as common carriers to help them render
their industry profitable and the develop
ment of the state possible. With the
co-operation of the railroad commission, the
state government, the courts, and the enter
prise of the people, there is no reason why
the proposed extension of the Oregon Pacific
is not feasible.
Of course, there would be all sorts of
propositions to build other wagon roads in
other parts, of the state to connect with
other railroads. These propositions would
be encouraged by the corporations of the
state to kill this laudable scheme. If the
Oregon Pacific is not sold for a good price at
the next sale, it should be bid in by the
state for the taxes that are past due and
delinquent, just as any other citizan's prop
erty would ba under similar circumstances.
Not until the state acquired possession of
the property, or through its courts and state
government assumed full control ot it,
which it is its duty to do under the laws at
present in force, could it properly spend a
dollar on it.
There will be many objections to your
proposed plan. Little minds will ridicule
it and many technicalities will be raised
in opposition. We have come to that pass
in our state government where it seems as
though our constitution afforded no protec
tion against spoliation of the taxpayer and
no obstacle to the schemes of the boodler ;
at the same time it is a bulwark from behind.
which the corporation lawyers are able to
throttle almost any effort of the people to
relieve themselves of burdens that are crush
ing the life out of them. Do not be fright
ened from your course by this latter class of
constitutionalists. The people have come to
a point where they must shut down on all
propositions involving partnerships with
corporations controlling the transportation
of their persons and products. Mr. Receiver
Clark's success in managing the Oregon
Pacific as a business enterprise and upon
business principles, under orders of the state
court, shows what can be done witn a rail
road when there is honest application of its
receipts to the actual expenses of operation.
With the wagon-road connection you pro-
nose and such management of - the railroad
continues as it has had under Mr. Clark,
the Oregon Pacific would soon be made to
pay dividends on the capital invested, and
become a profitable, valuable and desirable
piece of property.
Very truly yours,
E. Hofer.
Many excellent reasons for the appropri
ation are advanced by John ' Daly m the
following interesting communication:
Yon ask me if I would favor an appropri
ation by the' next state legislature to build
a wagon road across the Cascade Range to
connect Eastern Oregon with the Oregon
Pacific railroad. Yes, I will favor such an
appropriation, and in voting lor it 1 win
consider that I have voted for a measure
that will benefit more people, in more
places, than any other appropriation ever
voted for by any legislature the state hat
ever had. I notice that some ot your cor
respondents doubt its constitutionality on
account of its "local" character. I don't
understand what they mean by locality.
If a measure that directly benefits one-third
of the population and two -thirds of the
area of the state is local in its character, or
would be held to be so by any lawyer or
court in Oregon, it would very much sur
prise me.
The O. P. leaves Linn county and enters
Marion at Mill City, and from this point
for over forty miles its survey runs east
between the two counties, settled all the
way by a thrifty, long-suffering people,
whose faith, if it could be utilized to remove
mountains, would have leveled them all
long ago. But years of waiting and disap -pointment
have worn them out, and the
spectacle of these people packing in their
stores on their back beyond the end of the
track, . which is sixteen miles from Mill
City and only seventy-five miles from the
great metropolis of the state, is not a very
flattering one to a people who are constantly
screaming for more population. Then cross
over the mountains and you have forty
miles square of country, the finest in the
world, abandoned, mostly by people who
had settled on it yeais ago in hopes of a
railroad outlet.
I can show you an unexplored region ot
country, where the foot of white man has
never trod, less than ninety miles, in a
straight line, from the city of Portland, and
yet it will produce anything that grows in
Eastern Oregon, and its altitude- is not
greater than that of Baker City or LaGrande.
To say that this country does not need an
outlet would be an evidence of a want of
intelligence. To say that any one or two
counties ought to build the necessary roads is
unjust, for all the counties in the Willam
ette valley and most of those in Eastern
Oregon will be directly benefited by the
proposed road.
I think your estimate of the cost is above
the mark, but that is a matter to be deter
mined hereafter. By all means let us have
the wagon road, and an Eastern Oregon
connection of some kind before the winter
of 1895 6 rolls around.
Yours respectfully,
Jno. D. Daly.
WANTS A DIVORCB.
Fannie Sharp, by her attorney John Bur
nett, has begun suit against her 'husband,
Sharp, for divorce. The complaint alleges
that they were married September 24, 1890,
and since that time the defendant has total
ly disregarded his marriage vows, in that he
has kept up a cwuree of cruel and inhuman
treatment, and personal indignities toward
plaintiff; that he has failed, refused and
neglected to support her, or furnish her
with a home, and used profane and indecent
language in her presence, that, soon after
their marriage, defendant deserted and aban
donen her, and left her at her father's house,
and has not lived or cohabited with her
since that time. Wherefore plaintiff prays
for a decree dissolving the bonds of marriage
now existing, and for such other and fur
