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.

' W. F. 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.
