CORVALLIS. OREGON, SEPT. 5. 1895.
THE YEAR ONE.
With this isiu tha Gazette ends its
first year under its present management.
- Tht paper is now in its 33d year, being
identified with the early history of the
state. The present management has not
bagged for patronage, nor has it at
tempted to curry favor with th powers
that be. It has aimed to make the pa
per an absolute necessity to the wide
awake people of the county by telling
all the news, and by treating tf all pub
tie questions impartially and without
fear. We are satisfied that the paper
has been of great usefulness to the pub
lic in its frank criticisms of various
matters. This policy will be continued.
The experience of the Gazette dur
ing the past year proves that such a pol
icy not only makes it a readable, useful
paper, but also makes it a successful
one. This last year has been a very un
fortunate one for business enterprises.
Hard times affect the newspaper business
as quickly as any other, yet the Gazette
has no complaints to make. Our sub
scription list has steadily grown, not
only helping the paper financially, but
giving the management flattering assur
ances that its efforts are appreciated.
The Gazette intends to further widen
its field by winning support through
making the. paper deserving of it. It
does not intend to beg nor demand pat
ronage. It intends to give value re
ceived for subscription money and for
advertising money. For this the paper
will be under no obligations, and will be
in a position to criticise independently
that which ought to be criticised and to
commend those matters worthy of com
mendation.
The Gazette is a republican paper
and is recognized as one of the leadiug
republican journals of the state. It has
a large circulation outside of its own
county. It exchanges with all the im
portant papers of the state and is able to
wateh the drift of public sentiment and
keep its readers advised of all happen
ings of interest. The editorial utterances
of the GAZETTE are quoted very gener
ously by the state press, thus extending
its influence beyond its immediate lo
cality. During the coming year the Gazette
management intends to add new features
to -the paper. With this issue com
mences a serial story by one of the best
f modern novelists Julian Haw
thorn. It is . a story of social life,
written in polished, yet vigorous lan
guage. It is intensely interesting and
elevating in character. We are arrang
ing for correspondents from -every pre
cinct in the county. Prominent men
will contribute articles on various sub
jects during the year. Many other ad
ditional features are contemplated that
will add to the interest of the paper.
We thank all our subscribers for their
past favors and hope our present pleas
ant relations will continue.
The editor of the Plaindealer, who is
a gentleman of literary attainment,
writes a long .editorial on the Agricul
tural College, from which the following
quotation i taken: "The school is
good one, as good . as any in
the state, and : all who are
able to do so should take advantage of
the opportunity offered to get a college
education at bed-rock prices."
The Roseburg Plaindealer doubts the
practicality of the education at the Ore
gon Agricultural College. The editor
of the Plaindealer has never visited the
institution and it is for this reason that
he selects it as an editorial topic he
writes better of those things he wots j
not of. He says among other things: !
"Its merits as a practical ' institution is j
not known, for the reason that it has no j
practical use, except, perhaps, to those j
who wish to enter the professions."
"Not a practical farmer or mechanic has
ever issued from its walls." "It is prac
tically a Greek, Latin, higher raathe-
matics, grammar and philosophical in
stitution." j
The college certainly teaches higher
mathematics. Mathematics are sup
posed to be of 'considerable use to a me-1
chanic. The pattern maker must draw,
so the college teaches drawing. Some :
of the students might write for the pa
pers, and the college teaches grammar,
so that they won't say, "its merits is."
as the Plaindealer does. English is the
only language included in the regular
course. Tire other statements of the
Plaindaaler are, diplomatically speaking,
slips of veracity, or, in plain English,
lies.
The education at the college is practi
cal. The remarks of the paper might
have been pertinent to the college some
seven or eight years ago, before the in
stitution was divorced from the Metho
dist church, South. Now, however, such
criticisms are absolutely silly. The Ag
ricultural students are not only instruct
ed in plowing, sowing, harvesting, drain
age, dairying, care of stock, and such
matters; but they work every day in ac
tual employment in the various duties
connected with a farm life. Mechanical
students daily don ' overalls and work at
the forge, bench, in the machine shops,
and in various ways acquire mechanical
knowledge by actual experience. The
girls are instructed in sewing, darning,
millinery, cooking, sweeping, house fur
nishing, and, in fact, in every branch of
household economy. This instruction
fits the girls to make and take charge of
model homes."
Perhaps there should be no direct ap
propriations for the benefit of some state
institutions that are now receiving such
support. The state, in accepting na
tional appropriations for the Agricultural
Col lege and State University, agreed to
furnish suitable buildings. The people
of Corvallis believe that the appropria
tions should be confined to such pur
poses. . The delegation from Benton
county, will ask for the appeal of the
law appropriating $5,000 bi-annually for
the maintenance of the institution.
Such appropriations are. generally con
sidered contrary to public policy. The
appropriations for the soldiers' home are
also of doubtful constitutionality. Such
matters should be loft to the general
government The next legislature will
probably take care of all these things.
The agricultural college is doing a
good work. Farmers throughout the
state are in constant communication
with the professors on matters pertaining
to their farm work, and every man who
is acquainted in the least with the col
lege, as at present conducted, commends
it for the practical education it is fur
nishing',0 its students. Another evi
dence of the interest taken in the col
lege and the practical results of its work
is the increasing demand for its bulle
tins, eight thousand copies now being
necessary for the regular mailing list.
Preacher Read, who was sent to
the insane asylum last April for holding
up the First National Bank of East Port
land, hag bean released as sane. It
seems that he is too crazy to be punished
for crimes and altogether to sano to be
confined. Mr. polph, his attorney, ex
erted himself tremendously in his behalf,
thus continuing to lend "hi valuable
services to the state of Oregon."
Or. Price's Cream Baking Powder
World's Fair Highest Award.
Representative Elect Clark, who
has recently been paying a visit to Ore
gon, says in a Portland interview that he
did not favor appropriations for im
proving the Columbia river from As
toria up. Mr. Clark expects to be on
the River and Harbor Com.mittee, but he
may be disappointed. He is talking al
together too much. Ha is taking the
surest method of securing opposition to
his appointment on this committee. He
has announced himself as favoring al
most every other improvement in Or
egon, while the one he opposes is proba
bly the most needed and the most de
served. Mr. Clark does not show suffi
cient judgment for the position he
seeks. But even should he secure the
appointment, it would not mean that he
would have control of the committee.
Mr- Hermann "will, in all likelihood, be
made chrirman of this important com
mittee and he can be depended upon to
exert himself in behalf of the "Columbia
river, as-well as any other deserving
project. Mr. Hermann is peculiarly
fitted by experience and long service to
be of benefit to the state he represents.
T3E Long Tom river could be made
navigable for river boats as far as Monroe
with the expenditure of a very small
sum. This would mean considerable to
tha people of southern Benton and
northern Lane counties. Monroe would
then become a shipping point, saving
the merchants and surrounding farmers
long and expensive hauls by wagon.
Besides being a very rich grain district,
the prune industry is assuming exten
sive proportions. Many orchards, con
taining hundreds of acres, are already
bearing, and trees are constantly being
planted. As the general government
takes charge of all such" improvements,
the next congress will be asked to make
an appropriation for the purpose. In a
conversation, while at the coast, Senator
Mitchelk expressed himself as strongly
favoring such an appropriation and said
he would urge the matter to the extent
of his influence and ability. By proper
action, the people in lhat neighborhood
can doubtless secure an appropriation
sufficient for the purpose.
Copies of this issue of this paper are
sent to every voter in the county. Those
who are not already sebscribers will
kindly consider this as ' an invitation to
become one of the paper's constant
readers. The subscription price of the
paper is $2 per year, and those who re
mit $2 in advance will receive the paper
until Nov. 15th, 1896, or after the presi
dential election. ' This means two and
one half months' subscription to the
paper free. You wlil want to watch the
course of the state and presidential cam
paigns that during tha coming year will
absorb the attention of the voters of
Oregon. Republicans, democrats and
members of the people's party will all
be interested in reading what this pa
per says.
Little -Baby Ci.vevei.and is to push
tha button that will set in motion the
ponderous. machinery at tha opening
of the Atlanta exposition, so tha dis
patches aay. '. Stoppage of machinery
and paralysis of business has been the
policy of the Cleveland administration,
and that Grover should permit his lit
tle one to make such a radical reversal
of this policy is indeed doubtful. . He
has the-matter under advisement and
will doubtless continue on the old lines.
. Ex-Governor Foraker, of Ohio,
probably comes pretty near the truth
when he says, "I believe that everybody
think that Cleveland would like to have
a third term. . I know that opinion pre
vails among democrats and republicans
alike, and I interpret Mr. Whitney's in
terview to mean that an effort of that
kind is to ba made."
