Newspaper Page TextIssued Every Friday Morning by The Gazette Publishing Co. CORVAIJJS, OREGON, Oct. 8, 1897. - 1 ' " . - 1 Benton county is a most marvelous region. The Ga zette gives an account of an other "mysterious disappear ance" ;a young man by the name of Chas. Beam, who resided 25 miles west of Corvallis, and the next morning the man with whom Beam had been residing left under "suspicious circum stances." Benton county takes the lead in sensational incidents a good region for a 'local" Pacific Christian Advocate.. This item was reprinted in the GA ZETTE, Dec. 1, 1866 nearly 31 years ago. It proves that Ben ton county's reputation for sensa tional happenings is not newly acquired. The editorials in many .of our . high tariff exchanges read sus piciously alike. Possibly they were sent out ready made from that editorial factory in Washing ton that is so kindly saving re publican editors the trouble of thinking. Roseburg Review, The Review, one of the most ably edited of Oregon democrat ic papers, is very uear the truth. The fact to which it draws at tention, however, does not re flect upon the protective tariff system, but upon the editors who dose their readers with "fur nished" editorials. There are two things that tend to keep Collector Black in office. One is his great work for the cause of sound money in the presidential campaign, and the other his unusual efficiency as an officer. The old line demo crats in Oregon did not support McKinley because of hoped for patronage, but a graceful act on the part of the administration, would be the recognition of the gold democrats by retaining Mr. Black in office. The president evidently has so determined. The following item from the Evergreen correspondence last week, will strike fruit growers as a neat bit of irony. "Mr. Hors- fall harvested the most profitable crop of prunes in these parts, asv there were but eleven bushels. "The republican party" re marked William McKinley, "stands for honest money and the chance to earn it." There is now work for everybody and the money is above suspicion. The Gazette is regularly sent to its actual subscribers on ly. : It is a newspaper doing a legitimate business. It is not a handbill or dodger published for gratuious distribution.

Welty, an employ of A. Wilhelm, & Sons, was seriously hurt by a premature explosion of powder at the, rock quarry wesof Monroe on Wednesday of last week. A hole had been drilled for the purpose of blasting out stone to be used in repairing the dam at the mill. The hole wai not just as Mr. Welty desired it to be, so he put in some black powder, lit a piece of fuse and dropped it in. He was kneeling down and bending over the drill hole at that moment, and from some unknown cause the powder ignited, the full torce of the blow striking the man directly in the face. The injured laborer was taken to his home and the face was bandaged, but nothing could be told as to the extent of dam age done. The eyes are complete ly swollen shut and badly burned, so much so in fact, that it i not probable that the victim will ever recover his eyesight. Mr. Welty has a large family to support and the blow falls very heavily on them all. It is needless to say that they have the sympathy of the community. Rev. M. E.
