OREGON, JULtflS. 1895. THAT TESTIMONIAL. In common with the forty-four States of the Union, Oregon has just celebrated the 119th anniver sary of .our national debut into this world as its prime civilizing and christianizing power. We have beat our breasts and told how brave and patriotic was our an cestry. Time and money with out stint have been spent in pre paration -for the ever recurring event. It is well that we should thus bear aloft the stars and stripes in a befitting manner in the pres ence of our children, that they in their turn shall transmit to their offspring that patriotism so essen tial to our perpetuity as a nation. No one begrudges the effort spent : or money invested in such worthy enterprise. While we were yet engaged in preparation for this event, and even since, while patriotism pervades the very air we breathe, yes, even when long delayed business inactivity is about to disappear and confidence about to be restored, there comes hoarsely bawling throughout this state the woebegone wail of the cynic. A testimonial is proposed for the new battleship Oregon, and tip go the hands of false econo- mists the state over. The spigot is about to leak a few drops and much noise is forthcoming, bung or no buns:. It creates a feeling: of weariness witain us as we read in some of our state exchanges the objections of thus recognizing the christening of this mighty mistress of the seas after our fair state. And some, having: ex hausted their alleged arguments against this just cause, have turned upon each other in true Kilkenny fashion to establish the fact which one is showing the whitest feather, and who showed it first ; each claiming to cham pion by right of discovery of this unbusinesslike, unnatural, tin patriotic poverty wail too poor to buy our namesake a testimo nial, although she be the mighty mistress of the seas. : From a state 95,000 square . miles in area, endowed by nature with resources second to none in the Union, with its millions of bushels of grain product, its trainloads of wool, beef, and mut ton, its practically inexhaustible supply of timber and minerals, giving ample assurance of liveliT hood and comfort to untold thous ands of humanity, such wailing sounds weird and strange. We cannot speak for the whole of the state, nor even for one of its populous districts, but as far as Pnneville and vicinity are con cerned, when the battleship Ore gon goes down, rived by the shot and shell of an adversary, who ever he or she may be, in defense of our homes, we want a direct property interest in her, if it is only a spoon, and we want that to be a good one. Prineville Re view. The Roseburg Plaindealer has annonnced itself in favor of Mr. Hermann, but its sincerity is doubted by friends of Mr. Her mann in this section of the val ley, and the editorial utterances of that paper are sufficient excuse for the existence of this doubt. Mr. Hermann has no warmer friend, nor any more active and efficient supporter than Col. Al ley, of the Florence West, yet the Plaindealer persistently at tacks him and also Editor Hofer, of the Capital Journal, who is also a strong Hermann man, on account of their supposed ambi tion to succeed Mr. Hermann. Both Alley and Hofer have em phatically denied that they had any intention of entering the list against Mr. Hermann. They have done nothing to merit the accusation, and the Plaindealer must have some sinister motive, not at all favorable to Mr. Her mann, in persistently and annoy ingly attacking those gentlemen. There are certainly plenty of good men in the party who would make able representatives. If it should happen that Col. Al ley should be the logical candi date, his nomination would in no wise be a mistake, and . if the Plaindealer is really supporting Binger Hermann, that gentleman should immediately stop its tirade against his real friends, for such warfare may bring about the very thing it is pretendingly endeavor ing to head off. PORK CHOPS IN ANTICIPTION. Such articles as this from the Salem . Statesman are creating a wild desire on the part of the people of the state to convert the Salem hog into Bologna sausages: "It is encouraging to know that the branch insane asylum case has been decided, in the cir cuit court, even if the decision is adverse to the shoats, pigs, runts, hazel-splitters and all members of the porcupine family, save and except the state constitution and Salem." It is generally admitted that Salem and the state constitution are decidedly swiney, and the Statesman seems to be familiar with the membership of its fam ily in giving a list, such as "shoats, pigs, hazel-splitters," etc. But the rest ot the state will be excused from- claiming any relationship to the breed. It is true the lower court has decid ed against the locating of the branch asylum in Eastern Ore gon, but the supreme court is yet to pass upon this matter, and there is a court still higher than that, for there is a growing idea among the people that our state constitution is not such as we need, and the affirming by the supreme court of Judge Hewitt's decision, will augment the desire for a new constitution, and the Salem hog will grunt in pain and astonishment at the general and determined demand for a consti tutional convention that will im mediately arise. Our present constitution is unwieldy, unsatis factory, unjust and out of date. The Salem hog has grown fat at public expense and the balance of the state is getting hungry for the spare-ribs. The English are howling be cause the Cornell crew rowed a race through leaving its compe titor at the starting post wrang ling with the referee as to wheth er it was ready or not Fair En glishmen, and there occasionally exists such an exception to the breed, admit that the American oarsmen could do nothing else but obey the umpire, but the gen eral brutal and bullying cads across the water turbulently in sist that the Cornell men acted in an unsportsmanlike manner. This should effectually stop in ternational sports as between this country and England. Let Americans compete with Ameri cans; not with snobocrats from a land that has made itself a power through its bullymgs and bluster ing. ' . Joseph Cook, of Boston, took occasion in a fourth of July 'ora tion, delivered at Honolulu, to criticise President Cleveland. He was promptly called down by Minister Willis, who presided and whose action was approved by the audience. Cook's perfor mance was in very bad taste. " It is considered indelicate and out of place to discuss present day politics at the celebration of the Declaration ot Independence, and it is certainly censurable and unpatriotic for an American to criticise the president of our country in a foreign land on that day. Benton Could Win It Too. The state fair manager have concluded to offer a premium of $250 for the beat exhibit by any county, barring Marian, at the fair, of grains, grama, fruits, vegetables and minerals. This premium Linn county can easily win if she will but get a move on. Our county court and commissioners coald well afford to take the matter in haud and collect the neeessary material for the exhi bit. Mr. Myers informed us that the exhi bit is to be taken care of ao that it will become permanent, and properly labeled, would be of lasting benefit. By all means let Linn county compete for and win the prize. Scio Press. The Keystone of the Arch In the edifice of health is vigor, which means not merely muscular energy, but an active discharge of the various functions of the body, such as digestion, secretion of the bile, the action of the bowels, the circulation of the blood. Nothing more actively and thoroughly contributes to the united per formance of these functions than the renowned tonic and regulator, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The result of its use is a speedy gain in strength, together with the agreeable consciousness that the tenure of life is being strengthened that one is laying up a store of yitality against the unavoida ble drafts which old age makes upon the svstera. The fortifying influence of the Bitters constitute it a reliable safeguard against malaria, rheumatism, and kidney trouble. Appetite and sleep imrjrove through its use, and it protects the system from the effects of cold and damp. Protection!

Just now there are many inquiries being made by sportsmen regarding the provisions f the game law passed : last winter, and from reports of the flagrant violation of the provisions of the act it seems that there exists a wostnl lack of respect for the law or else the general publio is ignorant of its requirements.

WANTED,: One Hundred Thousand' Bush - els of Wheat The undersigned has again leased the Canthorn Warehouse, in Corvallis, and have made all the necessary arrangements to store this year's crop ef grain. As you are doubt less aware that I did not store any wheat in this house last year, neither was I in the market for wheat at this point, I leave it to farmers themselves to decide whether or not Corvallis' reputation in the past for paying the highest price for wheat has or has not been sustained. Without any comments or reflections apon any ene, I simply call your attention to this fact, letting the responsi bility rest where it belongs. I have had many years' experience in the grain business, aad with the knowledge I possess, I feel warranted in assuring yon that I shall be able to give satisfaction. Will be pleased to see you before you en gage elsewhere. It will be my constant endeavor to so deal with yon that I may expect a continuance of your patronage from year to year. W. A. Wells.
