C0RVA.LLIS, OREGON', JULY A 1895,
WASTED SARCASM.
With beautiful diction and
wealth of argument, the Salem
Statesman pays the following
compliment to the Gazette:
"With an innocence as dis
tressing and ignorance as pitiable
as the arrogance of its publisher
is dksgusting, the Corvallis GA
ZETTE at one fell breath squelch-
es- all opposition to tne projecieu
gift by the people of Oregon of a
silver service to the warship Ore
gon by opposing the spending of
the people's money on July 4tn
in celebrating: an event which
appeals less to the patriotism of
the UAZETTE man, wno is a
Htember of the warship souvenir
committee, than does the snobo-
cratic movement contemplated.
But when he says 'the money for
the testimonial will not be spent
in Salem that sufficiently ex
plains the attitude of the Salem
papers,' we are led to believe
there must be something in the
souvenir for the committee, aside
from the champagne drunk that
would follow the presentation."
That paper ought to be named
the "Diplomat" as well as
"Statesman." It would take a
Browning club to cipher out just
what it meant to say. The Ga
zette is sorry it spoke. It cost
the editor five solid hours' work
to get up that piece of 4th of
July sarcasm with which it meant
to annihilate a few valley papers.
And now to be told we oppose
the celebration of the glorious
Fourth well, the Gazette will
pour no more water on geese's
backs. The Statesman says the
Gazette has squelched all oppo
sition. It is to be hoped so. Of
course the btatesman is not
silenced, but, then, its opposition
is practically nil. An apology is
due from this paper to the Albany
Democrat for coupling its name
with the Statesman in a former
editorial.
The editor of the Statesman
has been so long at the seat of
the state government that he can't
imagine anything of a public
nature occurring; "but that there
is something in it" for somebody,
on the quiet, and of course that
editor cannot understand that
some people may do something
out of the ordinary without get
ting drunk over it.
However, aside from such lit
tle peevish and ignorant criti
cisms, there are no objections to
the proiected enterprise. Its
"originators are simply patriotic,
public-spirited citizens. The
committeemen, who act without
1 M M-
pay ana are at tneir own expense
when attending meetings, have
only to devise means for raising
funds and select an appropriate
memorial which will be of use to
the crew and officers of the bat
tleship "Oregon." ... The press of
the state have generally favored
this meritorious movement The
Salem papers, for some unan
nounced purpose, have endeav
ored to excite an antagonistic
feeling against the enterprise.
As before stated, their voice is
but a grunt from the Salem hog.
There can be no real opposition,
as no one need contribute unless
he so desires, and those who do
not so desire cannot possiblv have
any objection to other people
showing their patriotism in this
way.
GOOD TIMES IN STORE.
The enthusiasm and sincere
interest shown by the masses in
the late celebration of the anni
versary of our- grand national
birthday, proves the fact that the
patriotism and devotion of the
citizens of this vast common
wealth have not suffered from the
hardships and privations they
have been forced to endure,
through the woeful blunders of a
lot of block heads who have
proven themselves as incapable
of administering public functions
as they are unequal to the dignity
of high places.
As the time approaches for
another presidential election and
the return to power of that noble
old party whose name has been
the synonym of freedom, patriot
ism, purity and the proper em
ployment of the laws in the in
terest of right and justice, a thrill f
f hope,, a broad rainbow of con-1
fidence, fills "the industrial sky.
As "eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty," so mutual confidence
between man and man is the
price of prosperity. Confidence
is the mother of success. Confi
dence in Columbus enabled him
to realize his day dreams at Ge
noa, and discover the New World ;
confidence in Washington and the
general congress at Philadelphia
resulted in the establishment of
this grand republic, at whose
birth the monarcUs 01 tne uia
World stood awed, and parlia
ments and cabinets started in dis
may to their feet; confidence in
Lincoln and the constitution van-
auished the hordes of secession
and preserved us a Union, and
confidence in tne old repuoncan
party will save the republic from
its threatened danger; restore us
to our former high place among
the powers ol tne eartn, ana
raise the industries and commerce
of the nation out of the chaos
into which they have been
thrown. With hope at the helm
and a bright sea of activity ahead,
the next republican administra
tion is impatiently awaitea.
COILS UNWINDING.
The Albany Democrat quotes
the GAZETTE'S bit of poetry con
cerning the sea breeze at Albany
and Corvallis, and answers it in
a sensible and courteous manner.
Of course the Democrat under
stands that this paper meant to
exhibit no real unkind feeling
toward our sister town. It was
but a playful touch called forth
by a similar article in an Albany
paper. The Democrat is quite
right in saying that every city in
the Willamette valley ought to
rustle together for the future.
Our conditions, climatic and oth
erwise, are quite alike. The
spirit of stagnation that has
wrapt us in its clammy toils tor
some time has begun to .unwind
itself as hope and determination
wells up within us, and we shall
soon be breathing the air of pros
perity. Prosperity is composed of two
elements confidence and energy,
All that the people of the Wil
lamette valley need is the exer
tion of a little will power an
united effort in a common cause.
If our town, or our county, does
not suit an intendingsettler, let
us tell him that there are other
good towns and other good coun
ties in the valley that might make
a favorable impression upon him
It seems inconceivable that a
new-comer ould find no spot in
the valley that would please him.
Brother Nutting, you are ex
actly right Petty jealousies
should be ignored, and let us all
grow tog-ether. There is room
in the valley for many prosper
ous and lively cities.
If all the world be falcons, what of that ?
The wonder of the eagle were the less,
But he not less the eagle. Happy days '
Roll onward, leading up the golden year.
Notwithstanding some crit
icisms that have been made, the
financial affairs of the Agncul
tural College are in very good
shape. The report of the treas
urer shows that the funds have
generally been wisely and judi
ciously spent It must be remem
bered that the college had some
$17,000 tied up m the Job 'fail
ure. It has required able finan
ciering on the part of the board
to bring the college through in
its present excellent shape. Most
of the criticisms have been level
ed at' Mr. Wallis Nash, but they
are proved unfounded by the
reports of the officers and a study
ol the conditions of the institu
tion. Mr. Nash has been secre
tary of the board for seven or
eight years and on his retirement
from that office the board of
regents passed a resolution con
gratulating him upon his faithful
and able performance of duty.
It was deemed advisable to elect
a resident member as secretary,
and the board made no mistake
in its selection of W. E. Yates.
It is well that the public under
stand these matters and not place
too much reliance upon unfound
ed criticisms whose circulation
more or less tends to discredit
the college. :
IT is generally- thought that
the board of regents made a mis
take in abolishing the signal ser
vice department connected with
the Oregon Agricultural College.
Although the utility of the Or
egon weather bureau may not be
apparent to the superficial ob
server, yet it has been demon
strated that the bureau has been
and is of great importance to the
Oregon farmer. The expense in
maintaining , this department at
the college has been slight, all
instruments being furnished by
the general government Sever-J
al colleges of Oregon have
assumed the duties of taking
observations, and it would seem
that a state school, particularly
the Agricultural College, should
be the last to shirk this work.
Not only do the farmers of the
state receive a direct benefit from
the operations of the bureau, but
the state in general receives no
better nor wider advertising than
through its weather reports. It
is hoped that the board will
reconsider this matter. ;

Dovkb, N. H., June 26, '95.
Ed, Gazettx:
When I made my pilgrimage to this part
of Unele Sam's domain, some two years ad
a half ago, the canatry were a very different
aspect to what it does at the present time,
Then old mother earth was clothed in her
bridal garments of spotless white, while all
about, oa every - hand, was desolation and
decay. The trees ware stripped of their
foliage, aud the lonesome wind moaned
drearily among the leafless branches; the
little birds, that but a short time before had
made those branches melodious with their
tuneful voiees, had spread their downy
wings and betaken themselves to a more
genial dims; the beautiful lakes and rivers
were clad in their ioy armor, thus forming
a barrier between themselves and tae chilly
blasts of winter; even the festive bull-frog
had ceased his dismal croaking, and all na
ture seemed hushed as if in anticipation of
seme dire calamity; while now the trees are
all in leaf, the little birds have returned, the
lakes and rivers have thrown off their armor
of ice, and the before-mentioned frog, perch
ing himself npon the spreading leaf of the
fragrant water lily, croaks defiance te the
wot M in general.
Dover, with its many beautiful buildings,
its long avenues of venerable elm and maple
trees, whose leafy blanches towering aloft
reach across the street and lovingly inter
twine, thus forming a perfect arch, making
it one ef the prettiest as well as one of the
oldest cities in New England, is so replete
with the early history of the United States
as to make it a very interesting study to
every true American. I visited, a few days
ago, one ef the old buildings built by the
early settlers more than two hundred years
ago, as a resort for protection against the
Indians. It is a one story structure, some
fourteen by twenty feet in size, constructed
of hewn legs halved together at the ends
and made fast with wooden'pins, the top
layer projecting a few inohes, thns forming
an opening throngh which water eould be
poured to extinguish the flames in ease the
noble red man should fire the building.
The walla are perforated on all sides with
holes abont two inches square on the out
side, but larger npon the inside to allow the
musketeer to change the direction of his fire
as occasion might require. Inside, the
betiding is divided into three separate rooms.
In the center room is a huge fire place large
enough to roast an ox; a long iron crane
swings across it, from which depend iron
hooks for hanging kettles, etc., while beside
the fireplace stands the old bake even, these
forming, together with their necessary equip
ment, about the only cooking utensils known
to the housekeeper of those days. In the
different rooms are many things of interest;
the old spinning wheel, . with which the
thrifty housewife spna the yarn for knitting
the family stockings; the old flax brake for
breaking the flax, and the wheel with which
it was spun into thread, aud the hand
loom with which it was
weven into eloth. Hanging npon the
walls are old swords and other implements
of warfare, some of whieh were used in the
war of the revolution, while others antedate
that period. There are many other curies
too numerous to give special mention.
Mr. Bounds, the owner of the place, has
been several years in making the collection,
and is adding to it as fast as possible.
was shown a room in. the house occupied by
Mr. Bounds, that had not been repainted or
had other work done on it sinee it waa fin
ished, eighty-five years ago, a room toe that
has been in constant use, being occupied at
present as a sewing room. The paint is a sky
blue color," and, although a little dingy, is
in a good state of preservation. The plas
tering also is well preserved, with hardly a
crack or flaw in it It took a carpenter one
solid year to finish the wood work in this
room. The casings are fluted, with corner
and plinth blocks, similar to those used at
the present time. All the work is very
elaborate and all done by hand. . With the
aid of our modern machinery the same
amount of work could be done in two days'
time.
Dover is a thrifty little eity, all business
being conducted en a careful and economical
basis. There is no rush or bustle, but things
more along steadily, and the city U improv
ing, quite a number of fiae buildings are in
course ef construction and ethers are to be
started at once; there are but very few va
cant dwelling bouses, and 1 do not know of
one vacant store room; three daily papers
are published within its limits, of which
Foster Demoerat and the Dover Euquirer
are republican, and the Star, democratic
This Star is net of the . first -magnitude;
rather a falling Star, likely to sink into ob
scurity after the next general election. The
several factories are all running on full time.
There are but very few idle men, and the
people generally seem happy and oonteated;
take it all in all, I believe New England to
bo the most prosperous part of the United
States at present, W. E. Paul.

a very interesting program rendered
