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

and all !he other popular means

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."

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.

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.
