A movement is on foot for the
establishment of a free ferry at
Corvallis. This is a matter
whose importance has frequently
been urged upon the citizens of
Benton county by this paper and
it is greatly pleased to note that
the project is assuming some
tangible shape. A petition to
the legislature asking that it
confer the proper authority upon
the court of Benton county is al
ready generously signed, and the
bill which the promoters of J the
matter have prepared will not
likely be opposed in the legisla

ORDER AT CECIL THE TAILOR'S.
THE DEADLOCK BROKEN.
The House Organized Yester
day With Benson as Speak
er Other Salem News.
(Special to Gazette.)
Salem, Or., Jan. 21. The
ten-days' deadlock of the Oregon
legislature is ended. The 29
republicans who have been in
their seats ready for business
forced an organization this after
noon. This course seemed the
only one left for those to pursue
who. wished to uphold the spirit
of the constitution.
Promptly at 2 o'clock the Toll
was called, showing 33 members
present Brown, of Morrow,
introduced a resolution to remove
I Temporary Speaker Davis and
; elect in his stead, Dr. Smith, of
i
j Marion. Upon Davis' refusal to
it , ,
kdo so, Brown put the motion,
which was carried, ' Riddle with
drawing. Iake and Stanley es
corted Smith to the speaker's
desk. Smith and Davis shook
hands and both took seats.
Thomas, of Multnomah, made
a report on credentials, which
was adopted. Chief Justice
Moore then administered the re
quired oath to members present
and Benson, the caucus nominee,
was elected permanent speaker.
The other caucus nominees were
also elected and Judge Moore ad
ministered to them , their oaths of
office. . - .
Two democrats, Misener and
Gratke, were in their seats and
by their presence, made up the
majority necessary for organiza
tion. After the transaction of
some little business, the house
adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow mornine. A crowded
gallery and lobby heartily ap
plauded the entire proceedings.
Sunday. The daily program
for the house all last week has
been calling to order, occasional
oratory, - roll call, adjournment
There has ' not boen a quorum
present since Monday. Public
sentiment, regardless of party,
is against .the action of the ab
sentees. ,While the 29 members
who have beerf ever present try
ing to get to work are all repub
licans, the "hold-up" is not con
sidered a party matter, for those
assisting in it are of every shade
politically, except straight-out
republicans.1 , - Every nian who
has deliberately absented him
self has his personal, individual
sin against the public to answer
for. .
The delay in organization can
not be explained or excusd on
any grounds of law. honesty,
public necessity or public good.
The clever stayouters do not at
tempt to give reasons. 1 he dull
er ones offer the feeble, evasive,
tricky excuses built for their use
by the smart politicians whose
interests they are serving.
Simon intends that the house
shall not organize, that the leg
islative assembly shall
not convene, and that no senator
shall be elected. Mitchell, he
resolves, shall be defeated. The
First National bank of Portland
is behind Simon, the Southern
Pacific R. R. company is behind
him, and other wealthy corporate
interests. Allied to those repub
lican members who are directly
under Simon's control, in hold
ing up the hands of the politically-interested
men and corpo
rations of wealth, are all the
populists of the house and nearly
all of the few democrats. This
combination, in contrast with
recent campaign oratory, would
be the richest of. humor, were
not the enterprise it is engaged
upon so dangerous to the public
and to free institutions.
Tlie republicans who are so
anxious to proceed with business
insist upon no terms, nor could
they carry out any obnoxious
measures, even were such con
templated. They are but twen
ty-nine. All they ask is that
every man elected by the people
to represent them in the house,
come into the house and repre
sent their people.
Mr. Lake said Friday:
have no political advantage to es
tablish. I am elected as a re
publican to represent the people,
and the people want us to go to
wcrk and to get through with the
business for which we were elect
ed. Let the members take their
seats and we will proceed to
organize. If my vote will not
help elect the republican notni
nee for speaker, I will be glad to
meet on neutral ground and as
sist in the speedy organization of
the house, that business may be
carried on." Mr. Lake's speech
delivered with earnestness ana
without any show of passion
made a decided impression.
ohuathan Bourne, still con
trols the situation, in a measure.
He declares that he is a repubji-1
can and the reasons given by one j
ot his close followers for not at
tending the session is more appar
ently valid than any yet offered.
He says: "Its apparent that
no faction can afcpresent elect a
speaker, The republican caucus
that nominated Mr. Benson was
attended by only 29 members,
after most diligent efforts to ob
tain the necessary 31. An at
tempt to organize last week
would .have been futile, and
would only have ..resulted in
arousing bitter feelings that
would make permanent organi
zation still more difficult. I
Bourne's supporters, in order to
avoid undignified and senseless
wrangling before the public,
withdrew until prospects were
favorable for an amicable agree
ment.' He has no support trom,
nor combination, with the Simon
republicans. They withdrew tor
reasons of their own."
The deadlock is unmarked by
personal bitterness, and even
U' Ren's exasperating smile fails
to irritate the waiting republi-
s. The feeling is growing
that organization must be effect
ed, even tnough U' Ren be speak
er. The best men tor speaker,
in the . house, so far as ability
goes, are in me n s- deusuu,
Bourne and Bilyeu. tsrown
might also be added to the list :
Populists are quoting the Ore
gonian's editorials in support of
their position, and Col. Hofer
smiles his most expansive smile
as he explains, "Oil, Harvey is
all right when he gets his eyes
open."
The Oregonian's statement
that "the house will not orga
nize until organized in the inter
ests of 'remedial legislation,' "
i. e., organized by Bourne and
Barclay, is oppressively funny.
That paper indulges in some
very unwarranted libels upon
the members who stay in their
seats. It affects to presume that
they are disposed to favor ex
travagant legislation, when the
very contrary is the case.
While some of the stayouters
profess extravagant devotion to
reform, sensible people will take
their very vague explanations
with a very large pinch of salt
They know that no legislative
reform can be accomplished un
til the legislature can transact
business. Meanwhile" the use
less commissions, prodigal fees
and other tax-eating luxuries
maintain their sway.
Probablv the . chief cause of
the "hold up" is not the speak
ership nor the senatorshipbut a
row between Portland politicians
over control of the city. Simon
wants a new charter that will
o-ive his followinsr the reins of
the city government. Anti-Si
mon republicans want another
new charter, and Bourne desires
the present charter.. This is not
a fight that deeply concerns' the
rest of the state, yet country
legislators refuse to do the work
of the state, at the dictates of
Portland politicians. It is not,
after all, so very strange. These
interests and the corporations
are better paymasters than the
state.
A Sunday session of the house
was held today, due to the stu
pidity of the speaker pro tem.
He thought it necessary, and as
the' senate had adjourned, - Mr.
Simon , was not present to set
him aright. Of course, nothing
was accomplished.
Salem is quiet, considering
that a session is "on." The
populist headquarters, with ev
erything free, are playing havoc
with the business houses that dis
pense beverages, and there is not
much money being spent by the
egislators or the sightseers. A
dramatic company played to fair
liouses all week.
Citizens of Philomath sent a
petition, or rather, demand, to
Benton members of the house,
asking them in distinct terms
to attend to business. Populists,
democrats and republicans, to
the number of ,80, signed it.
Among the names were those of
Ed and Joe Bryan and: J. W. In
gle. ; '
Iuesday Morning. lhe air is
heavy with an impending some
thing, and prospects are favorabh
for an organization today. Three
democrats surrendered yesterday
and answered to roll call. If a
quorum is present, it means that
Benson is to be pea ker and that
the populists have been conceded
some committee?. .Republicans
real republicans place the peo
ple's good above party advan
tage. Harry B. Miller, president ol
the Oregon Agricultural College,
is here again this week. Salem
may be the proper place now . for
college presidents, but, strangely
enough, President Chapman and
President Campbell find plenty to
do at home. Mr. Miller stated
that he was not down here on ac
count of politics, and that he has
had nothing to do with Joe Simon
for six years. tHe claimed ; to
have dropped politics on assuming
the presidency of the college and
was only down here in the interest
of college legislation.
Senator Carter recently received
a petition signed by several Ben
ton county republicans, asking
that he do not vote for Senator
Mitchell. Mr. Carter states that
some of the names were those of
good republicans and good citizens
and men whose opinions are
worthy of respect. He will -be
sorry if his course gives offense,
but he believes that under tne
circumstances, oenaiur owa,uiu
should be returned ana minus
that such is the larger sentiment
in Benton county. A caucus 01
republicans, sufficient to elect,
was held and Mr. Mitch
ell was the only man who thought
it worth while to ask that caucus'
support. He is the republican
candidate and he shall support
him.
The house "hold-up" the sena
tor denounced in severe . terms.
"It is costly, wrong and cannot be
defended. It is an offense to the
public p.ud while I did not come
down here as a Mitchell man, but
on the contrary, refused to pledge
myselt in his favor, the disgrace
ful actions of those who conspire to
defeat him, and attempt to lay the
b'ame for their own ill doings up
011 his shoulders, are enough to
draw honest men to his support.
Iain not ashamed l any ol my
associates in that caucus."
.Senator Carter's. 1 lire especial
bills are lor the, -.Analyzing " of
Fertilizers," the Regulation of
Salaries of i3cnton County OIB
cers," and the -Abolishment of
the Horticultural Board." There
are bills abolishing nearly every
commission in the ft ate and Mr.
C irier will ,vo:e My" on every
one. The senator has the respect
of all of his associates and is an
honor to Benton county.
Representative Lake chafes tin
ier the continued inaction of the
house. He wants to do the work
lor which he was elected and go
hom. He is carefully revising
several bills, and when the house
does organize, if it ever reaches
that devoutly-wished for consum
mation, he will be thoroughly
ready. At present he can only
join the other 28 and k-wait." .
Mr. Whitaker was seen in re
gard to the flnlomath petitioit
He at first relused to make any
statement, but finally remarked
thai he understood the condition
better than people back in the
c untry and that he was able to
choose his own course. 4The
house cannot organize as far as I
m concerned until it is organized
right." This is the answer the Si
mon men give, only the Simonites
want Riddle for speaker and the
Bourneites desire Bourne. Bourne
is a royal geod fellow in many re
specls, but he is known as the
"prince of prodigality," and Whit
aker, in insisting that Bourne
alone can organize the house on
economical liney, assisted by Bar
clay, who was the champion of ap
propriations in the last house, can
not expect intelligent folks to en
dorse his revolutionary methods.
Again, the men who slay in their
seats the Benson" men have
only 29 votes tor Benson. Bourne
has 25. As it takes 31 to elect,
there can be no real fear of any
oinbination that cannot be defeat
ed by - the" obstructionists, if they
take their seats as men.:
People do not like cowards
skulkers. If those stayouters who
profess to be in fear of economical
legislation and who think the
Benson men are liars in saying
that they insist on economy, would
come into the house and fight like
men, and win or lose like men,
their course would be much more
respectable. '
At present it looks as ll the 4U
days will expire and all the com
missions will still remain in lorce.
All the salaries will still remain
unreduced. Kincaid will still pile
high hi; lees and Pennoyer con
tinue to levy personal tribute up
on the dens and robbers of Port
land. Such will be the economy
accomplished by our Benton coun
ty statesman, John Whitaker,
and his associates, acting under
the re.illv sagacious direction of
interested politicians. Mr. Whita
ker thinks he understands. co
did the cat, but thecatdid not get
the chestnuts.
SOHE CORVAtLISITES.
A Corvallisite, writing from Salem,
furnishes the following interesting items
concerning some of our townspeople:
Ex-students of the Oregon Agricultural
College are numerous. Will R. King is
a populist senator. Miss Jessie Samuels
has an important clerkship. Clande
Williams is also a clerk. J, J. bturgill
is helping direct the populist cause, and
Barney Martin also hurrahs for the ob
structionists. Mr. Curnn, a college man
of the 70's, is here occasionally. Mar
vin Chandler, Marion Johnson and oth
ers are "waiting." Barney Martin, by
the way, is a married man. J: Fred
Yates and B. W. Johnson were seen here
this week, and Editor Robinson, of the
Philomath Journal, interviewed Benton's
representatives. Jas. Flett made a short
visit to the capital Tuesday. Frank
Conover is in business here and is rushed

ATTEMPTS COERCION.
Miss Snell Makes a Futile
Effort to Organize a Boy
cott Against This Paper.
In Miss Margaret Snell, professor of
household economy at the O. A. "C, Pres
ident Miller has a devoted friend and
ally. In fact, her pleadings in his behalf
are almost pathetic, and her praises of
his scholarly attainments and manage
ment of college affairs border on the
extravagant. It is hinted even, that with
her gracious manners and extravagant
praises she has virtually hipnotized the
president, and there are potent reasons
for believing that the institution, to an
extent at least, is under petticoat man
agement. It is also claimed that petti
coat management of state insttiutioas is
the litest political fad having been in
troduced into Kansas by the notorious
Mrs. .Mary Ellen Lease and that Presi
dent Miller, desirous of being up-to-date
politically, had turned over to Miss Snell
a portion of his arduous duties. Be that
as it may, she seems active and energetic
in the discharge of her labors, and will
doubtless be of great advantage to the
institution as her experience matures.
One of the first duties assigned to her
was the muzzling of this paper. She
hadn't had much experience in the muz
zling business, but she undertook the task
with avidity.aud with a zeal that was very
refreshing. She knew that editors were
poor and quickly coucei ved the . idea of
starving the Gazette into silence. Sat
urday morning she sallied forth and spent
the day organizing a boycott. She repre
sented herself as an ambassador from the
faculty, with full power to conclude nego
tiations. She visited the busiues men
and demanded that they withdraw their
advertising patronage from the Gazette
and stop their subscription to the paper,
under the penalty of losing the trade of
the students and faculty.
The conversation reported to have tak
en place in one business house is about
as follows;
"Do you take the Corvallis Gazette?"
"I do."
"Well, I want you to stop it"
"Why so, Miss Snell, I have no fault to
find with the paper ?"
' "Because it criticises President Miller,
and he is such a dear fellow and is mak
ing such a grand success of the college.
We college people are going to get as
many as possible to stop their paper, and
that will make it cease its unfavorable
comments," she said, with an emphatic
nod of her head.
"Well, Miss Snell," the business man
replied, "haue you stopped your paper?"
No, sir," she said.somewhat disconcert
ed. "I never subscribed for the paper, I
have to live within my salary. House
hold economv teaches us that."
The business man thought it rather
queer that she was so familiar with the
Gazette's col umus, but didn't think it
worth while to speak of the matter. He
declined her request, however, in a man
ner that evidenced his utter contempt for
her ourse in tiie premises.
"I a:n too much of an American,4 he
said, "to comply with your demand. The
constitution of .the United States pro
vides specifically for civil and religious
liberty aud the freedom of the press.
The coileee is a public institution and as
such is a proper subject for newspaper
comment. Many of, President Miller's
acts have not met with public approval j
and the comments of the Gazette have
doubtless reflected th sentiment of the
community. My observation has been
that nothing unfavorable appeared in the
paper except ou two occasions: one item
followed the hanging of the president
in effigy and the other related to a matter
brought out by tha president's report at
the recent board meeting."
This statemeut did not in the least dis
courage the lady uor swerve her from her
purpose. She had undertaken the job
of organizing a boycott and she pro
posed to earn her salary. Later in the
day she called upon F. L- Miller and
threatened him with serious pecuniary
loss, unless he agreed to withdraw his
patronage from the Gazette immediate
ly. ''Why," she said, "unless you do
this, none of we college people will
trade with you."
Mr. Miller did not seem at all perturb
ed by her meddlesome talk and plainly
informed her that when he wanted ad
vice from President Miller or other mem
bers of the faculty, he would make his
wishes known. He had so far found
himself capable of managing his affairs
and that members of the faculty who de
sired to trade elsewhere because he re
fused to be coerced, were probably not
numbered among his customers. , He
had never allowed outsiders to dictate in
the management pt his business and
didn't propose to allow it now. He was
opposed tp the principles of boycotting
as being un-American and he was sur
prised that President Miller should en-
courage such contemptible procedure.
fioc Cnall . I c-I t fl nftiAr hucitiACC linnCPC
during, tfie day and wherever she called,
so far as can be learned, met with a
frosty reception. The general feeling
seemed to prevail that her course, in
stead of aiding the cause of President
Miller, was doing much toward aggra
vating the trouble.
Miss Snell has surprised and grieved
her friends by her ungenteel action, and
such distasteful publicity as her course
must necessarily arouse is highly regret
table. The most unfortunate incident
connected with the affair is the fact that
Miss Snell felt called npon to asperse the
memory of President Arnold. Not only
were her reflections impolitic, but are un
just to the scholar and gentleman who
so long and so wisely presided over the
college, and who now is beyond the need
f praise or criticism.

DSATH 09 MAYOR KEtSAY.
The flag at half mast en the city hall
Wednesday morning first told the citi
zens of the death of an Oregon pioneer
and one of the oldest and best known
residents of Corvallis Col. John Kel-I
say. But a few days ago "the .Colonel"
was taken with a severe cold that rapidly
developed into acnte bronchitis, and
about nine o'clock Tuesday evening he
fell into a sleep from which there was no
awakening. The hero of the battlefield
had surrendered to the conqueror of all!
The issues were made up and his last
case called tor trial at the bar of God.
During his seventy-seven years of life,
honor and preferment had come to him.
Before leaving Missouri he had served in
the legislature of that state; as a lawyer,
he had been invested with the greatest
honor that can come to a member of the
profession a position on the bench. As
a citizen he was honored in 1857 by be
ing chosen as a delegate to the constitu
tional convention that met in Salem and
his name appears as a subscriber to the
constitution of Oregon. Ana ai ms
death he was serving a term as mayor of
the city in which he had made his home
since coming to Oregon.
His birth occurred in Wayne county,
Kentnckv, Oct. 23, 1819- Two years
later his parents-moved to Morgan coun- j
ty, Missouri. Education in tnose tiays
was difficult, to obtain, but he availed
himself of all opportunities for study and
at the age of 26 he was admitted to
practice law, which profession he follow
ed through life. 1
In 1846 he was married to Miss Martha
C. Moore and seven years later, crossed
the plains tj Oregon, .locating in Corval- j
lis, where he has since resided.
Fired with patriotism, he' organized a
company of militia, of which he was com
missioned captain, and went into the
field to assist in suppressing the uprising
of Rogue River Indians. At the age of
18,. in Missouri, he had been a captain of
militia, and at the age of 20 was a ma
jor. His first wife died in 1854 and ten years
later he married Miss Countner, who
with a sou and a daughter, survive him.
The funeral services were held in the
circuit court room yesterday afternoon
and were conducted by Rev. E. J.
Thompson, assisted by Dr. Plummer.
The members of the city council and
Benton county bar attended in a body.
The remains were interred in Crystal
Lake cemetery.
