CORVALLIS, OREGON, JULY 9, 1896.
SIMON VS. BOURNE.
The Oregonian is demanding
the resignation of Jonathan
Bourne, secretary of the state re
publican committee, giving as its
alleged reason, the supposed luke
warmness of his party loyalty.
The only evidence it offers in sup
port of this charge is the well
know lact that Mr. Bourne is a
silver man.
The Oregonian should have no
influence in determining the man
agement of the republican cam
paign, nor in the selection of the
committee officers. It is not a
republican paper. It is a pro-
Vfessional bolter. The Oregonian
is riding astride of one idea it
is a veritable monomaniac. The
republican party will never be a
one-idea party, and its manage
ment should be in the hands of
those who recognize the true mis
sion and purpose of the party.
Joe Simon rises to say that
Bourne must go, for the party
good demands' a "true republi
can" as secretary. Simon is one
who believes that a true republi
can is he, who. as chairman of
the state central committee,
would have republican tickets
printed and distributed, bearing
the name of a democratic politi
cian for judge of the supreme
court, instead of the republican
nominee. Simon is the man,
who having control of the state
campaign, plotted to defeat D.
P. Thompson for governor, and
elect Mr. Pennoyer, the populist,
This man "doubts Bourne's party
loyalty." Hetfry McGinn, cuckoo
and tongue of Simon, echoes
'Bourne must go." This drunk
en ward heeler, a disgrace to the
judiciary of Oregon, compliments
Bourne by disliking him. He is
a fellow who never voted tor a
republican unless he was a Simon
man. This man doubts Bourne's
loyalty. Harvey Scott wants
Bourne dismissed. Scott is the
editor who urged the election of
Populist Quinn over Republican
. Elliii. Scott is the professional
bolter. He should have no more
authority in the republican party
of Oregon than the emperor of
China.
Mr. Bourne has no right to re
sign at the dictates of such men
as these. Nor has he any right
to obey the dictates of so-called
republican clubs of Yamhill or
Marion counties, nor the demands
of such politicians as Apperson,
of Clackamas. These counties
gave populist pluralities. The
republican self-appointed leaders
in these counties have by their
woeful lack of sagacity, their dis
gusting conceit, and selfish pur
poses, given Clackamas, Yamhill
and Marion to the populists.
Such management as their' s will
lose us the state in November.
When the republicans of Polk,
Tillamook, Benton, Lane, Curry,
Douglas, Lake, "ClatsopGilhani,
Grant Wasco, and the other re
publican counties speak, Mr.
Hirsch and Mr. Bourne may well who Doited iillis and leit tne

THE FINANCE CRAZE.
Those who fret themselves into
a frenzy over the financial ques
tion lose sight of the fact that
there is a great body of American
citizens who have a decent regard
for other important matters that
concern this nation of ours. The
radical advocates and opponents
of free silver have worked them- j
selves into a mental state that j
allows them neither to reason nor j
to listen to reason. They nave
come to imagine that the pros
perity of the nation and the sal
vation of the people depends
upon the adoption of their money
views by the government They
fill the air with their lamenta
tions and fairly succeed in drown
ing the cool voice of truth.
With the supremest indiffer
ence to actuality, they have
appropriated McKinley as the
representative of this sole issue?
They make him the special object
of their adoration or hate.
"Hurrah for McKinley and the
gold standard !" shout one faction
of these fanatics." "Anything
to beat McKinley, the 'gold bug,"
cries the other. Yet, what little
excuse they have for making
McKinley their god or devil of
finances!
It was the masses that nomi
nated McKinley and it should be
apparent to the craziest financial
ite that it was not as a represent
ative of any peculiar financial
views that he gained his popular
ity. In fact, the uncertainty of
his position on the money ques
tion was severely criticised before
the convention, but it did not
prevent his nomination. It is
the principle of protection that
McKinley chiefly represents, and
his nomination proves that the
return to that principle is 'the
greatest concern of the great
mass of American voters.
Patriotism does not seem to
be the mother of invention. Our
Fourth of July celebrations sel
dom vary from the old type.
The parade of soldiers and fire
men, the brass bands, the god
dess of liberty, the little girls
that represent the states, the
I explosions of powder, and the
inevitable nreworks, greet us
year after year. Sameness seems
to be the law. Even the two
column Fourth of July panegyric
of our populist cotemporary, the
Times, had a strangely familiar
appearance, suggestive of "books
we have read."
The insinuation of the Bee
that "several of the erold bugs
who voted the gold bug ticket in
June have come out for free sil
ver," is misleading and without
foundation 01 tact, and we cnal
lenge our neighbor to name even
one. On'the contrary, scores of
those who voted the bimetallic
ticket are pronounced for Mc
Kinley gold or no gold. Val

A MATTER OF BUSINESS.
What Shall We Do to Protect
Our Commercial interests?
How to retain our trade is a
matter of much concern at this
time to the business men of Cor
vallis. For years past Albany,
Independence, Harriburg and
Junction hae steadily striven for
Benton county business, and each
of these towns has succeeded
surprisingly. Although this en
croachment upon our territory has
been slow, it has been none the
less subtle, determined and vigi
rant. The trade that "Corrallis
merchants enjoyed five years ago
has fallen off to a marked degree,
and in the aggregate the loss may
safely be estimated at from 35 to
50 per cent. Beginning at Gran
ger and taking in Fairmount pre
cinct and the eastern hal' of Soap
Creek precinct, we find most ol'
the truJe going to Albany, and
from Soap Greek North, and as
far west as King's Valley a consid
erable amount ot trade finds its
way to Independence. In the
southe n portion of the county are
found many citizens whose grocer
ies, provisions and clothing are
purchased m Junction and Harris
burg, while even in Corvallis we
see a large amount of business
diverted to Albany.
This is a matter that has grown
gradually, and only recently have
the local business men awakened
to find that while they slept their
pushing neighbors had surrepti
tiously encroached upon the terri
tory theretofore tributary to Cor
vallis, and captured much business
which our merchants might con
trol. This trade has been wrested
from their grasp so quietly and
slowly that the loss was not appre
ciable for some time and only
now has the matter assumed such
proportions that there is a demand
for prompt and vigorous action on
the part of Corvallis business inter
ests to reclaim their losses.
There are many influences that
have tended to divert business
from Benton's metropolis which
will be hard to overcome. In the
first place, the Ir-e bridge at Alba-
ny altorus tne residents 01 ine
north end of the county a more
convenient market, while the
deplorable condition of the roads,
during portions of the year, lead
ing to Corvallis, rendered trading
here inconvenient and often im
practicable. We might have
equalized the loss in the north end
of the county, alter the Albany
bridge was constructed, by ouild
ing a bridge here, and although
the matter was disc ssed consider
ably and some liberal subscriptions
vouchsafed by enterprising citi
zens, among them Judge Burnett,
who offered to head the list with a
donation of $500, the .plan failed
to be properly encouraged and the
mailer came to naught. Another
reason for our losses has been a
woeful lack of unanimity ot pur
pose on the part of our business j
men. We nave no board ot trade 1
or other organization of business , his family to the coast lor the sum
men for the furtherance of our,mer
commercial interests. In fact we Leonard Herron has been ad
have gone to sleep wailing over
the hard times, and until we arouse
ourselves from our prolonged leth
argy and organizo thoroughly for
a vigorous campaign the retriev
ing of our losses will be impossi
ble.
Another matter many of our
business men overlook or fail to
realize the importance of, is pub
licity. Says a prominent writer
on this subject, 'Advertising is
business. The man who cannot
utilize advertising in his business
has no business to be in business
and generally isn't. The most
.successful business men prove, by
liberal expenditure, that there
never have been times so dull that
extra advertising did not pay.
The foolish business man cuts his
publicity appropriation when bus
iness appears to be poor and
allows the neighbor in business to
cut into his old customers, and
keep new ones away f om him."
A perusal of the Corvallis papers
during most seasons of the year
might, by the amount of advertis
ing appearing in them, reason
ably convey to a stranger the
impression that this is little more
than a county cross-roads.
It is probably true, as a busi
ness man stated the other day,
that there is no better market for
agricultural products in the state
than Corvallis. It is well known
that as a grain center Corvallis
has attained a state wide reputa
tion, her grain buyers having for
several years paid from one to five
cents per bushel for wheat above
tin quotations in neighboring
towns. On account of he excep
tional transportation facilities no
city of the valley can undersell
Corvallis, and few of them .in leed
can successfully compete with
her. Possessing so many natural
advaniages. there is no good reason
why Corvallis should iv t be t he
most prosperous and enterprising
town in the valley it not m the
state. . .
Albany's bridge dost $110,000
01' which amount the county
Linn assumed $40,000, leaving
$70,000 for which the city has
issued bonds bearng interest at
the rate of 6 per cent. Thus, the
interest, together with the expense
of repairs, annually costs Albany
over $6,000, yet her citizens claim
the construction of the -bridge to
have been, a paying investment.
It is not necessary, however, for
Corvallis to construct an expeu
sive bridge across the Willamette
at this point in order to derive
practically, the same benefits that
have accrued to Albany by the
building of her bridge. A free
terry at Corvallis for practical
results will do quite as well as a
bridge and cost very much less
Several years ago Fred Blunihart.
proprietor of the ferry here, made
a very liberal proposition to the
business men, but for some reason
it was not accepted. In effect his
agreement was, that for $1500 per
annum he would operate his terry
free to the public and keep up all
repairs. At a safe estimate this
plan would have had the effect of
increasing the trade of Corvaliis
fullv $10,000 annuallv. This sum
is probably close to the amount of
our losses in the north end of the
county by reason of the Albany
bridge. But their original invest
ment was $110,000 and it costs
1 hem not less than $6,000 per
annum to maintain the bridge,
wh'le for $1,500 per year without
any further investment, Corvallis
could ofiset Albany's gains from
1 his county.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
business. The business men of
Corvallis have in their own hands
the power to regain their lost trade
and acquire new business. This
wiil not be easily accomplished,
parhaps, but what is worth having
is worth working for. Our busi
ness people must work together,
be ready to make concessions, and
pay contributions. They should
organize and adopt some definite
plan of operation. And then,
individually they can do a great
deal more than they are doing
both for themselves and for the
town in general. If Corvallis
wants business she must b- enter
prising. Enterprise does not mean
extravagance it means wide
awakeness, push and thrift.
