Issued Every Frithiy Morning by The Gazette. Publishing Co. JORVALLIS, OREGON. Dec. 24, 1S97. THE FRUIT OF LABOR. The great material improve ment, noted by a correspondent, in the western portion of Benton county, is due directly to that successful conjurer, intelligently directed labor. The whole west ern section of the county, though in the mountains, is chiefly no ted for its well cared for and pro ductive farms and ranches and the kindly hospitality of its peo ple. A few years ao the prospects for the western portion of the county were not at all promising, It was commonly referred to in derision as "the burnt hills,"and one must confess that at that time the thing that attracted the most attention, other than the miserable condition of the roads, was the waste of blackened tim ber stretching for miles and miles over the mountains. Now the erstwhile wilderness is presented to us as a garden, where the results of toil and pa tience are shown in pleasing licrhts. Nor is the picture of O A material prosperity dimmed by the stories of the people's hospi talitv and culture, that are told by all who visit among them. The bad roads still exist and nnfortunatelr this section docs not have a monopoly of wretched highways, but it is hoped tha methods and means will be found to soon make the roads of the county something more than a libel on the name. These farms and homes in the hills do not mean great fortunes, but they mean solid comfort and an easy conscience. They mean health and genuine happiness, besides which the garish pleas ures of city dissipation are but tinsel and empty shades. THE POLITICAL ARENA. The many parties and factions in Oregon are stirring early. It will require skillful generalship to create an orderly, compact army out of the scattered, rebel lious sections that today repre sent ttie old political parties. Just now the leaders and would be leaders are feeling and bluff ing. Each one wishes to be in . a position to dictate when the time for dictating comes. The opposition to the republi- can party is far from being uni- r ted. At the present-outlook there is nothing to justify the predic tion that the Pennoyer people and the' Young-U'Ren crowd will ever come together. In the republican camp all is not har monious, but there is little ma terial' division outside of Mult nomah county. The only issue between republicans is the mat ter of the legislative hold-up last winter, and in the state the claiming republicans .who aided in that disgraceful affair or who uphold it now are so few and un influential that they will hardly be a disturbing factor in the state convention. The gubernatorial candidates are keeping well under cover. Ivord, of course, is very earnest ly striking for renomination, but he will have scat support. Su preme judge, Frank Moore, would run well and make a splendid governor, but it is understood that he wishes only his present position. Virgil Conu, who . is mentioned also as a likely can didate for secretary ot state, is freely spoken of as a - fine man for governor. There will be but little oppos ition to Tongue in the republi can convention. Nor will the combinations that nearly defeat ed him in the election of 1806, be operative next spring. Bar clay wishes to run against Tongue and the republicans are quite willing. "Claude Gatch, of Salem, is one of the "sought." He has who are urging him to make the race for secrstary ol state or for state treasurer. ' He has so far, however, refused to consider the matter. A. C Woodcock, of Eugene, can probably secure the nomination for attorney general, if he wants it. But he is more likely to be a candidate for cir cuit judge of this district. Ben ton county will strongly urge a candidate lor the judgeship. McBride rushed his Klondike relief bill through the senate with extraordinary dispatch. He is ev idently a yery influential member, indeed, the entire Oregon delega tion is entitled to great credit this matter, which cwi: the Oresronian admits, i ,n coldly aim reluctantly, attitude of some Portland The business men since Alger's deter mii! itioji to make the expe dition no advertising scheme, shows that their professed hu manity was nothing 'but a sordid desire for self gain.- Karl's Clover Root Tea for Constipa tion, its the best, and if after using it you don't say so, return the package and gut your money.

Raphael's pictures of, the Uoly Mother liave never been cousjqer ed "loud," yet a contributor -'to Peterson's Magazine lor Decem ber, thus begin his aitk-le, "'The Madonnas of Raphael have charm ed unnumbered audiences for nearly lour hundred years." The Puritan tor .December has a sensible editorial comment upon the anti-i'o6tball agitation. It . rt .1 11 11. ; 1 savs: "ine iooidhii 1011s merrujr on,but the clamor against it grows dailv more insistent. Jbor every broken le-r or sprained back or mutilated face (here is a fresh burst of wrath from parents and guardians and others in authority, and when, now and then, a game close with a tragedy, and a play er is carried off never to come hack, the molest comes for the moment almost national. If it is the waste of life they deplore, why. in the name cf logic, dosn't the whole country rise up against bievclins. vacktinsr. hunting. coaching, baseball, lacrosse, polo. and all !he other popular means of mutilation? New York can show fifty bicycle casualties to a month, iind the record of any hunt or polo club contains broken necks as well as broken limbs. If lootball is to be condemned for its squandering l youth and strength various other amusements should share its doom. This is not an at taek on snort. It is merely sn appeal for public logic. We thor oughly believe in athletic exer eise, looking on its casualties a; an inevitable tax, infinitely sad in eneh individual case, yet worth enduring. Measured by percent ages, the penalty is exceedingly small almost infinitesimal, in most lorm; ot sport. A nere is iust risk enough to show that there is bodilv valor among us yet that wc still 'know fire of the blood.' and can fight with muscles as well as tongues. Football is rough, no doubt-- brutal, perhaps: but the pluck and power and en durance ot these holiday warriors stands for something too good to be suppressed. A nation is likely to need a hero any minute and one is not made in a day." Some recent magazine article.! by Englishmen rather sneeringlv re fen- to the people of the United States as a people without a di tinetive name. Other nationahti are known as Britishers, English men, Irishmen, Russians, Caiia dians, Chinamen, Mexicans, etc, but the only named claimed by or given to the people of ou country is "Americans," which belongs to the-Canadians, Mexicans and Central ana bouth America as well as to us. A local writer contributes poem on this subject, that will ap pear next week. The verdict of the Corvallis council 111 the recent trial of our chief ol police, does not necessar ily imply that the eity fathers en dorse fist fighting by the head of the police department. They evi dently considered that in this in stance the chief only accepted what was practically a challenge, to ignore which, would reflect up on the bravery of our police force. It should be understood that the chief is not addicted to tke habit of fighting. Finally the matter if sett!ed;quarrels are unprofitable and unpleasant;and there is virtue nd happiness in harmony. This Christmas season is a good time to quit our petty bickerings and be come better neighbors, better citi zens and better men. "Stabbed by an Old Friend," is the title of a pamphlet lately re ceived. It is an attempt to show, by means of New York Sun edi torials, that the New York Tribune has joined"an attempt to split the republican party." It will take more than the efforts of a free lance like the Sun to prove the Tribune disloyal to the republican party. The Alaska Miner has inter viewed a truthful gentleman who has ju?t cseaped from the Klon dike, and who is authority for the following: "A man who had win tered up there seven years told me that it was so cold in January that they ifoze the flames of their candles and' sold them for straw berries. He knew of one case where the smoke from a chimney froze after it got a hundred feet up, and fell back on the house, driving a hole in the roof big eiiough to drive a yoke of steers through." HOFFMAN ITEMS. Every one is looking forward to Christmas and a good time seems to be expected. Emmett Williamson has removed his engine from where it stood and has been sawing wood for . the neighbors. H. J. Moore spent Sunday with his family. Elmer Williamson's health is much improved. August Krosehel contemplates a trip to eastern Oregon soon. Mr. and Mrs. Emmett William son will leave for Portland Thurs day to spend, Christmas with her folks. The Klondike fover is sill rag ing in our community and some, we believe are severely afflicted. Our Sunday school is reviving under the direction of our new superintendent, Miss Woods. . Earnest Coffey has purchased a set of shoemaker's tools and ex pects to open up a shop in the rear of the "Klondike Store." ' Scudd. TOWARD THE SUNSET. Rambles of a Roamer in the Western Mountains of Benton County. During two days of raging storm I enjoyed the genial com panionship of comrade George Wamsley and Ins family, at islod gett. His wife, although an in valid for many years, still infuses sunshine into her home. The un selfish devotion of this happy co.uple to one another, gives the he to the olt repeated cant, "mar riage is a failure." Here we met Scott King, who lives nearby and who enjoys the distinction of being justice of the peace, and also being recommend ed by the Oregon delegation in congress for the position of post master at Blpdgett. Mr. Wood, the present incumbent, still holds the fort, however. Blodgelt alley is an ideal local ity. It is surrounded on an sides by lofty hills covered with fir timber, whose dart green toliage makes a striking contrast to the delicate green ot the growm grass and grain. Laughing brooks take their rise in these hills, and come surging down into the t alley furnishing the purest of water tor man and beast. The sea and mountain breezes are tempered by the warm air of the valley, so rr il'ying the atmosphere that but lit tle fog exists in this section. The O. U. & E. K. K. runs through the southern portion of the valley, giving good facilities for shipping the large tonnage ot gn.ia grown here as well as trans poi-Mtion for stock to the seaboard, or direct lv into the Willamette Viillev. At Blodgett station would be a good opening for blacksmith. The valley is settled with intelligent and thrifty farm ers, whose comfortable homes shelter the wayfarer, and beguile him into hours of ease, which he would gladlv let run into days aiu week, were it not that stern duty, that inexorable master, demands continuous and unceasing devotion. Among the prosperous farmers and ranchers in this feitile spot are, Scott King, Abner Wood, W. B. Kiger, Mr. Sliray.Doc. Blodgett, F. H. Francis, A. A. Laskey, W. A. Gellatly, whose ranch consists of about 1300 hundred acres of land, much of which is good grain land and the balance excellent grazing. Will, as he is familiarly called, keeps everything about the big ranch moving, being ably sec ended by his wife. On this place are now being stable-fed three car loads of cattle that will be ready for the Alaska first of March, swine are also market about the Sheep, goats and grown for the mar -t here. A. Cadwalder has ranch' one mile and a half west from Gellat ly'8, on top of the mountains, vhat is surprisingly rich. Mr. C takes just pride in his farm of 80 acres, which produces good well matured corn, wheat, oats, hay, Iruit of var ous kinds and veget ablcs in abundance. The writer's pockets were filled with fine ap ples grown on this place. , They were perfect in flavor and color. Codling moths cannot live here the mountain air js too healthy for them. On all the foothills surrounding Blodgett valley the grass grows luxuriantly and stock of all kinds thrive and are free from disease. Feed consisting of roots and hay is raised to provide food for the stormy days of winter. Mr. Van Melts and Jeff Wood have ranches on the same mountain as Cad-w.-ilder. These people are all prosperous to a greater or less degree, are making substantial improvements, drive good teams, read the current literature of the day, are content ed, happy, sociable and taka great pride in their country school, over which Miss Anna Denman pre sides, dealing out ethics, grammar and mathematics justly and suc cessfully to the devoted pupils. "Roamer" was cordially greeted and made welcome in the homes of the people he met in the valley and was asked to repeat his visit which he hopes to do when milder weather prevails. All seem pleas ed wifh the increasing business ac tivity of the country and hopeful for the " future. A universal ex pression of confidence was given in the McKinley administration, fervent wishes for Cuban liberty and a generally prevailing opinion that the treaty with Hawaiian Isl ands will be ratified by the senate very soon. Roamer. MITCHELL AS AN ISSUE.. There is a disposition to make Mitchell or Mitchellism an. issue between republicans. There will not be lacking a determined effort before the convention meets to create discord in the party over the ex-senator, and these efforts will be made for selfish purposes, and not for the good of the party. Republicans cannot afford to quarrel over Mr. Mitchell, aiid thos persons who are bent upon '-working this lead" may under stand now that the republicans are not going to quarrel over him. They, have more important duties to perform. When a man or a paper, claim ing to be a republican, insists on bringing the name of Mitchell in to pofitioal discussions; that man or that paper, whether for Mitch ell or against him, stamps himself an enemy to the republican party. MONROE ITEMS. Tha saloon in our burg waa op ened Saturday. V George Schneider goes to Klon dike in the spring. The Monroe Palace drug store now spcrts a new sign. An old fashioned Christmas tree will be seen at the Methodist church on Christmas eve. The ladies' aid society is running the affair. A dance will be given in .Wil- helm's hall New Year's eve. Bar- nett and Irwin are at the helm and good order will be one of the mottoes for the evening. Moses Starr, wile and two boys are down irom the Big Bend coun try on a visit to their old home. Mrs. Starr is a sister of Mrs. S. Richardson and T. H. WelUhcr, l this place. A kincloscopc and other ent-.r Uunmen1, will greet those who an in attendance at the performance in Wilhelm's hall on Christinas eve. Six people are billed as tak ing part in the program and since it is the first regular troupa of showmen to visit our town, it tvill no doubt draw quite a crowd, al though it is 611 Christmas eve. A drama and basket social was riven bv the patrons and members of Belll'ountain grange last Friday evening. A splendid lime is re ported and somollih-.s over $40 was netted by the gi angers, Thi sum will be applied toward the erection of their new hall at Dusty. A similar event took place in Monroe Wednesday night, but particulars are not yet obtain able. The Monroe band was be hind this latter scheme. An exceedingly interesting ten minutes was spent by Milt Barnett last Friday. Mr. Barnett was ploughing in a field south sf town on that dav, when along came W. C. Belknap's hounds in tow of cayote. The animal was very nearly tired out,so Barnett stopped his team and lit out after the var mint. The distance to the creek was only a matter of a few hun dred yards, and the recent rains had caused the water to raise so that the lower lands were cofered At the point where the wolf reached the water a log lay, and on this he took refuge. This same log lav near a tree which forked just above the water, and as the hounds came on the log the wolf swung himself, up into the forks of the tree and when Barnett came up, the dogs sat on the log- one on each side of tree, while the eayote sat up in the tree and rest ed his carcass.. Wading waist deep in the water, the erstwhile farmer grabbed mister sheepkillcr by the tail and tried to knock out hfs brains with a lead pencil. In fact, the excitement, ol the mo ment caused Milt to forget that he ever owned a pocket knife, and the efforts he made in his endeav or to drown the animal were" very, very funny, indeed. You should get' Milt to tell it if you want to laugh and grow tat. The cayole was killed. What wouldn't die with so much trouble on its mind. X. Y. Z.
