CORVALLIS. 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.

OP INTEREST TO HUNTERS.
Just now there are many inquiries being
made by sportsmen regarding the provisions

printed below:

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.

We wish to state to the publie of Corral
lit and surrounding country that, in the
absence of a local representative, we decided
to ship two carloads of our pianos and

L. V. Moore, our Pacific Coast reprssenta
tive, and have instructed him to close these

time, thai while we have decided to give
you the benefit of our wholesale price on

strictly one price business. "Equal

believing the average man is satisfied if he
is treated as well as anyone else. Don't
