Tbe republicans of Benton county,

A well known republican voiced the gen

If fhose people
cannot agree. I am, in favor of holding
the state convention without a deleeatiov
from Multnomah county. The outside
republicans should not undertake to
choose Portland's representation, and
the best way t forci. the factions to
gether is too keep them both out."

The C y;llis Actress as Seen
b an Ex-Lor al isite.
Dover, N. H., Jan. 3, 1898.
Ed. Gazette: "See Naples and die."
"See Boston or die a fool." Now, I
have never seen Naples, consequently
am uot quite ready to die, and it was not
through fear of dying a fool that myself
and daughter visited Boston a few days
ago, but for the express purpose of seeing
Miss Maud Hoffman; and knowing that
the goad people of Benton county have
a kindly feeling for, and are interested in
anything concerning this talented young
actress, who has made such rapid pro
gress in her chosen profession, I take this
opportunity to add my feeble tribntu of
praise to one who is not only talented,
but has had the push and energy to over
come almost insurmountable obstacles
and prove it beyond a doubt.
We found Miss Hoffman blessed with
the sau-ie sunny temperature, happy dis
position, as when we knew her iu Ore
gon. While oar talk with her was very
brief, we left her feeling our appreciation
of her artistic work pah- before ur ad
miration for hi.r as a true and noble wo
man. As Lucy White, the professor's secre
tary, in the coiiuly entitled, "The Pro
fessor's Love Story," Miss Hoffman ex
hibited that keen perception of charac
ter innate in all true artuts. The charac
ter portrayed was neither "over dene nor
come tardy off," it was like holding "the
mirror up to nature;" not a line nor wrd
had escaped her notice. The most trivial
matter received the same attention as
the most difficult passage. If one were
as!ted which particular scene was the
best enacted it would be hard to answer
the whole was so near perfection. I pre
dict for Mis Hoffman a brilliant future.
She will persevere in overcoming every
obstacle until fame and fortune are at her
command.

at 7 p. m. in the court house. The
selection of delegates to attend
l he forthcoming meeting of the
state league of republican clubs,
in Portland, February 1. will bo a
part of the business ol this meet
ing. Member? are earnestly re

ment are-cordially invited to at

It has been sugge-ted that the
various clubs in the county unite
to form a county league ol elubs,
similar to that existing in other
counties. It is proposed to hold
a county convention of delegates
from the various clubs, on Satur
day the 29th inst. One delegate
is allowed to every ten members
or major traction thereof. The of
ficers of the county clubs will aid
the Corvallis club committee very
much if they will, at an early date,
advise lire secretary of the num
ber of delegates that will attend
from their respective clubs.
A Very Proper Complaint.
Alska, Ok., Jan. 9. 1898.
Ed. Gazktte: 1 see that in
your last issue you have my name
mentioned as one of the union
ists. I will admit I was in the
room (tit the union convention),
but I did not take any interest in
th' work except as a spectator. I
am a republican and have always
been one. I have keen in the re
publican county conventions for
the last lour years as a delegate,
and I was vice-president of our
McKinley club and am not asham
ed of my political affiliations. Do
not think that I am offended at
the mistake, for I am not, but I
do not want people to think that
I am a Bryan democrat. I hope
the republican party will nominate
a clean, strong ticket that will be
elected, and believe it will,
Your truly,
S. N. Warfield.
A thousand apologies are due
Mr. Warfield. His true blue re
publicanism is well known to the
editor, and only most inexcusable
inadvertance mixed his name up
with tho "probable sympathizers"
of the union movement. The
nameg of Mayor Woodward, Judge
Hufford, Geo. Waggoner, John
Buchanan, Jerry Henkle, Judge
Moor and hundreds of other loyal
republicans might as well have
been associated with the fusion
cause ns that of Mr. Warfield.

No Discou
Your money is just as good as smy'iody's. We don't mark our
stuff at a price where we can afford to give anybody s. discount.
Don't think because some stores offer you a discount that you're get
ting an inside price, because all stores ths.1 give discounts allow for
these discounts when gopds are marked. Get them to offer you as
big a discount as they will then come Vare and see how much lower
you'll find our goods marked, in plain figures, on every article. The
one-price-to-all system is the only fair, honest way of doing business.
