Prof F L Kent, of the Oregon

The policy of the agricultural de

and creamery interests of the Wil
lamette valley.
rates in this state
peison occupied with local affairs,
has little time and less opportu
nity, to make any study and
comparison of questions of rail
road rates and transportation
charges generally.
If one happens to be abroad
and desires to ship goods to a
point in Oregon, the rate given
will be for Portland, and any
haul beyond will be paid for at
the local freight rate. Thus it
costs more to ship to a valley
point than to a point say, in Port
land, a hundred miles beyond.
It will be readily seen that such
a condition gives shippers near
the point where the through rate
applies, an advantage over the
shipper further 'distant from that
common point. Local legisla
tion and inter-state commerce
regulations seem powerless to
alter this condition of affairs,
and as a result, many classes of
industry in localities which have
to pay the additional local rate,
languish and remain undevel
oped. For the reason that the
cost of material, labor and other
expenses being equal throughout
the country, the additional rate
for freight destroys competion,
and cuts off the looal industry.
An excellent letter in the Ore
gonian of the 12th iust., by
President Hammond of the C. &
E., and Astoria roads, states
some of the effects of this condi
tion, nnd would indicate that a
paramount necessity to insure
prosperity for this valley, as well
as other points, is a common
freight rate applying to all local
ities equally. Just how the
communities affected by the dis
criminating freight rates are to
bring about a common rate, is a
question yet to be solved. The
person who arranges a pian by
which this may be accomplished,
and succeeds in enlisting in its
support the united strength of
the several communities affected,
will confer a benefit to the en
tire slate. It is useless to com
plain of Portland, the metropo
lis, that she gets the benefit of
the commos rates and that she
does not assist to establish like
common rates throughout the
state. Portland alone cannot j
accomplish such a change. It is
to the interests of Portland that
the entire country tributary to
Portland, have common rates in
order that the country may pros
per and enlarge its trade with
Portland to the utmost extent.
Trade is what develops and
makes important any city.
Look back into history and see
how England forged ahead, un
der Edward IV, owing to the in
terest he took in his trade with
Flanders. Look at the wealth
which flowed into Vienna from
its eastern trade. At the as
cendencv which followed the

commerce. And in these mod
ern times the railroads and
steamship lines are the great
arteries through which flow the
rnmmerce that stimulates and
gives impetus to all branches of
trade and to all lines of inter
nal development.
Now, if you close up these

The open season on deer began
Sunday July 15, and in order to not
miss a shot a number of Corvallis
ites departed for the different
ranges of deer. The first party
to start out consisted of R. E. Gib
son, Punderson Avery, Jos. Yates
and Nat Stewart. They left Thurs
day for Grass Mountain, the place
that has been the scene of former
triumphs. They left before the
open season in order to reach their
destination and get their camp com
fortably established before July
the 15th. This company is composed
of vetc.au hunters and if venison is
in f.lm mountains thev will have it.
It would be hard to ted what might
happen to a nice juicy buck had
he showed up when tne party were
en route to Grasrs Mountain, even
though it lacked a day or so of the
open season.
About 3 a. m. Saturday morning
the town xas the scene of considera
ble commotion, occasioned by the
departure of another party of
hunters. This party consisted of
Sheriff Burnett, E. R. Bryson, Ned
Smith, Julian McFadden and Asa
Alexander. They will hunt in the
neighborhood of Marys Peak. They
went well prepared for a hunting
trip, and they had a wagon load
of articles necessary for a successful
hunt. Their outfit consisted of
salt and other things. Each man
was armed to the teeth and wore
spurs. They had a saddle horse
each and will run their game down.
A LIFE LOST.
A Timely Suggestion.
Ed. Gazette:
What a pity it is that there are
no seats in that fine park around
the Court House. Now, for in
stance, many an aged person
would welcome an opportunity
to sit down and rest in traveling
along the streets about the Court
House square.
There is the location in the
center of the town, fine shade
trees, and all the necessities of a
beautiful park, excepting the
walks and the seats. The ex
pense of doing this would be
nominal, if any at all, and many
persons who come to town, and
others who live here, and who
furnish the money to keep the
county going, would be very
glad to see seats conveniently
placed under those shade trees,
and have a chance to use them.
Yours truly,

Sad News.
A week ago Mrs. Mary Webber
received a telegram from Mt. Cle
mens, -Mich., which announced the
drowning of her eight-year-oid
grandson, Perry Irish. A letter
followed a few days later giving
an account of the sad accident.
It appeared that the party had
strayed away from home and fell
into the company of a party of boys
and went in swimming. He ven
tured beyond his depth and the
otiilJ erronmerl fnr assistance. His
ijiur. j .
companions were not able to rescue
him and he sank to rise no more.
The body was quickly recovered
and for over three hours the father
worked in an effort to resuscitate
the child. It will be remembered
that Mrs. Irish spent the greater
part-of last summer in Corvallis,
visiting relatives, and this bright
little fellow accompanied her.
A. Team Raa Away in Albany, Friday. ad
Caused a Death. 2 . "
By his coolness and good
horsemauship Austin Lafferty,
whose parents reside in this city,
and who is well known here, un
doubted saved his life a few J
days ago. He is now employed
in the livery stables of A. J.
Miller, ot Albany, but prior to
going there he was in charge of
the brick stable in Corvallis.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ramsey,
of Arlington, arrived in Albany
Friday noon and a couple of
hours latter they engaged a rig
at the Miller stables and started
for the home of their daughter,
Mrs. J. C. Hardman, who resides
near Tallman. Austin Lafferty
was to drive the team. The
horses were very spirited and be
gan to run as soon as the party
started out. They were stopped
and Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey got
out of the vehicle, but soon over
came their fright and climbed in
aoain. Once more the animals
started to run, and, one of those
unforeseen accidents occurred
that resulted in. disaster. One ot
the bridle bits broke and the
team becarne almost unmanage
able, and tore away like mad.
Mr. Ramsey became alarmed
,and iumped out, striking on his
head and shoulders.
Against the remonstrance of
Mr. Lafferty, Mrs. Ramsey
jumped out and struck on the
back of her Head. tone
rolled some distance and was
nicked ud unconscious. She
was cared for by the best physi
cians, but it was found that her
skull was fractured, her right
arm broken and she was injured
internally. She did not regain
consciousness before her death,
which occurred at 4:30 p. m.'
Mr. Ramsey's shoulder and
arm were badly bruised, a deep
cut was found in his head and it
tfas thought that he had sus
tained internal injuries. Austin
Lafferty succeeded in stopping
the team within a block of where
Mrs. Ramsey sprang from the
rig, and had she heeded his
warning against jumping out she
would have escaped uninjured.
As the result of Mr. Ramsey's
injuries, he remained in a semi
conscious state for hours. No
blame can be attached to anyone
for the runaway and much credit
is due Mr. Lafferty for his pres
ence of naind. Corvallis" citi
zens will remember that Mrs. W.
P. Lafferty, of this city, mother
of Austin, figured in a runaway
while visiting in Albany, luckily
escaping uninjured.
Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey formerly
resided in Linn county and-this
is a very sad ending of what
would otherwise have been a
joyous visit.
