Issued Erery Friday Morning by the Gazette Publishing Co. B. W.JOHNSON,- f Editor Rod Business Manager. CORVALLIS, OREGON. April 9, 1897. AT THE CONFESSIONAL. AFTER FIFTY YEARS. Senator 'Carter Retravels by Steam the old Emigrant Route. The Goddess of Reform! How fair she is as painted by those who bow in public at her shrine. Her ways are ways of pleasant ness and she holds the horn of plenty. No tear-stained maiden, she, in robes of white, but a ra diant and voluptuous being, whom - Dives entertains with sumptuous feasts. There was an assembly of Re formers at Oregon City last week and the Reformers who intrigued against organization of the legis lature at Salem were congratu lated. Reformer IT Ren made an address explaining Reform finan ciering. Mr. U'Ren said: "The mem bers of the opposition (of course he could only speak for the populists) received $50 to $75 apiece from a fund that had been made ud bv the enemies of Mitchell. I myself received $80 from that source. Representa tive Ogle was the only one who paid his own expenses out of his own pocket." This means In brief that the populist members of the legislature, the Reform ers, were in the employ of Cor bett. It is unfortunate for Mr Whitakeri of Benton county, that he was not named with Mr. Ogle. No comment seems necessary. Mr. U' Ren's wondrous frank ness estops argument Those Who desire any more populistic reform, will be given an oppor tunity to vote for it. The farmers, especially those living near the Canadian border, have reason to be pleased with the Dingley tariff bill. It re stores the McKinley duty on nearly all their products, includ ing wool, hay, potatoes, butter, cheese, barley, apples and hops. American farmers, and especi ally those in the states of the Northern border, have suffered greatly because of competition from Canadian and other foreign rivals since the Wilson-Gorman act struck down duties. . The new law will give our agricul turalists the protection of which tne democratic party deprived them. Astorian. I Sorregpondenee. OYER THE COUNTY. England has the woman suf frage fever. A bill extending the right to vote to ths fair sex, passed the house of commons, recently, by a majority of 71 The leading papers discuss the subject and the majority seem to favor the movement. In our country the suffragists have not relinquished their efforts. Kan sas women voted in the elections Monday for the first time. Wife and I have just returned from a trip to the settlements up South Umpqua river, and partly over the same route that I travelled fifty-one years ago. Perhaps some comment upon the material changes that have been made since then, and especially the vast contrast in the modes of travel, then and now, would interest your many read ers. Then, the patient but slow movine - oxen toiled over the trail, hauling us and our worldly goods. At the end of the wear isome eight-months' journey, the teams were jaded and poor, and the emigrants were in much the same condition, if not worse. Now we are whirled along at the rate "of twenty miles an hour, riding in comfort, and the trip is one of pleasure. On my original trip, the first settler we found after leaving the Umpqua was at the spot where Corvailis now stands, the lone inhabitant being J. C. Avery, long since gone to his reward. In this last trip, we took the local train from Albany to Rose burg, that we might travel by daylight, and thus be able to ob serve those wonderful, changes that perseverance, intellect, and industry have wrought in the laud of the Oregon, where nauerht was heard save the sound of its tfri dashliigs. After passing Eugene, the railroad follows our old road tor quite a distance, and then, turn ing south, proceeds in that direc tion. Before reaching tne waters of Pass creek, the road passes the old hotel stand at the south side of the Calipooia mountain. The hotel was kept by a Mr. Estis, and was well known to all early travellers. I readily rec ognized the place by its location and surroundings. The next place that I recognized was the home of the late Jesse Apple- gate, the first emigrant ot ump- aua valley tne emigrant 01 an emigrants. I remember reading in the Oregon Spectator, long ago, a burlesqe story concerning a traveller, who, lost 111 the for est, heard voices one dark night', and following- the sound, louna the cabin of Jesse Applegate The old eentleman. with most of the early pioneers, lias passed awav. .uonor may uieir uiwuui ies.be fresh m the minds and hearts of the generations to come, who will dwell in the homes of the Pacific Northwest, that these sturdy pioneers have left for an inheritance. The next familiar spot was Yoncolla. originally a school or college, founded by Mr. Apple gate. It is now quite a flourish ine town. Then came the thriv ing little city, Roseburg, on the original emigrant route. We soon left South Umpqua, The Monroe Creamery New Odd Fellows Hall at Philomath. PHILOMATH NEWS BETTER. Despite strong protests from its respectable citizens, Astoria has licensed gambling. The city power cannot annul the state criminal code, and those who take out such a license practically confess that they in tend to violate the laws of Ore gon. The ordinance is so flag rantly unconstitutional, that only Astoria council men would at tempt to make it a law. Without organized effort good roads in Oregon will only be a fair dream of farmers and wheelmen. The good roads movement must have a head, and the Oregon Road Club is such head. The Corvailis branch now organizing, should receive the active and financial support of prosperous Benton county farmers. The Portland Chronicle has its hand upon the lever that con- - trols the universe. The coward- - ly, though natural, instinct of self preservation prevents the Gazette from engaging in a hopeless combat with such a powerful enemy. Miss Julia M. Taylor is having a neat fence built; around her property. After the 1st of May, there will be a daily mail between this place and Alsea. Mrs. Blackwell, of Columbia City, is giving lessons in painting and drawing. Miss Emma Ross and Mrs. Beth Crow, of Albany, are visiting rel atives in the city. Editor Robinson left for Port land Friday. His family will re main here a short time. The Odd Fellows are planning to build a hall -on College and G i-treet, opposite the olhce of Dr. Logran. On Monday evening some 20 young men, equipped wan penny whistles, created a great deal ot amusement by serenading the res idents of the city. Last week Mrs. George Emrick, who has been afflicted with epi lepsy for 35 years, was examined bv Dr. Losean and W. H, J.

The young ladies' prayer meet inir was held last Friday alter- noon at the residence of Mr Parker. Plans Were arranged for the year and the next meeting will be held at the home of Miss Gertie Sheak. The Laurean Literary Society has adjourned, subject to the call of the president. The students are so busy with the closing term of the year that it will be impossi ble for them to carry on the liter ary work m addition to the regit lar rhetorical work. Saturday morning we were fa vored by a call from Bishop Dil Ion, who conducted chapel exer cises. makins au impressive ad dress that will long be remember ed bv the students. We were pleased to creet a number of the striking across Let us have a decent city election and a decent campaign. The candidates are all respecta ble citizens and should not have to urge the demerits of others, in asking for the votes of their fellow townsmen. Of all the populist papers of the state, the Oregonian is the only one that has not a more or less repressed desire to see the new protective tariff bill become a law. President McKinley is man ifesting great firmness, without being boorish or harsh. He is no' amiable weakling, but a strong man and a wise one. Populists call it reform. Or dinary people -have a harsher name for it, to Riddle, thirty miles from Roseburg. From Riddle we took the stage to Canvonville. This town is built on the spot where we camp ed fifty-two years ago, after emerging from that miserable Umpqua canyon, and I venture the remark that no one who made that early passage will ever forget it We were three days and two nights traveling nine miles, with nothing for our stock to eat, and most of the people in the fifty-two wagons but little better off. Getting through the canyon, the stock fared better, but the people found their condition hardly improved, as far as provisions were concern ed. However, the Indians were friendly and allowed us to hunt a privilege that had been de nied us for months. In casting my eye down the creek, and bringing memory to bear on by gone circumstances, I thought I could almost see the spot where I killed a deer the first morning after we made a camp at this place. I am certain that no one can ever appreciate the value of that deer, as I did, for I had a widowed lady and two children in my care, and neither they nor myself had had anything to eat since the morning before, and there was not a scrap of provi sions about the wagon. How changed the times, the circum stances and even the face of na ture itself! After a visit here with friends from whom we had long been parted, a conveyance came for us and we struck out again, go ing ten miles up the river, through the delightful valley, finally stopping at the residence of my brother-in law, Mr. Cala way Hodges, who has has a beautiful farm, with a splendid orchard, containing all kinds of fruit trees. The bustling towns and vil lages, the cultivated and en fenced farms, the public roads and all the evidences of civiliza tion that we met along the way on our comfortable journey from Corvailis to Canyonville, were in strong and happy contrast with the country as I saw it over fifty years ago.

He spent part of the week here, preaching Saturday and Sunday evenings to large and appreciative audiences. The bishop conducted the devo tional exercises at chapel Friday morning and gave the students a very excellent talk concerning things he had seen and heard dur ing his travels. In the afternoon, he visited the recitations of psy chology, and Greek and made some very instructive remarks to each class. Fall wheat looks well, but win ter oats are about all frozen out.
