PRETTY NEAR IT.
The Republican National
Committee has gone over the
political situation thoroughly
and carefully and has given its
estimate of the result of the
presidential election. As it
is less than a month until
election day the situation is
not apt to be materially
changed from now on. The
following is the very conserva
tive report of the committee:
"The committee, desiring to
be careful and conservative in
any statement they give to the
public, assert that the republi
cans will carry the following
states beyond question: Califor
nia, q; Connection t, 6, Dela
ware, 3; Illinois, 24; Iowa, 13;
Kansas, 10; Maine, 6; Mary
land, 8; Massachusetts, 15; Min
nesota, 9; Michigan, 14; New
Hamshire, 4; New Jersey, 10;
New York, 36; North Dakota, 3;
Ohio, 23; Oregon, 4, Pennsyl
venia, 32; Rhode Island, 4; S.
Dakota, 4 ;
ington, 4;
Wisconsin,
total 266;
224.
Vermont, 4; Wash
West Virginia, 6;
12; Wyoming, 3;
necessary to elect,
"This does not place Indiana
in any column with its 15 votes
The fight in Indiana will be
closer than in any of the other
States, but with the thorough or
ganization which the republi
cans have in that state, and with
a popular state ticket, the
chances are very largely that
these votes will be found in the
McKinley column, which would
give 281 electoral votes for Mc
Kinley and Roosevelt, as against
271 votes received four years
ago."
DEMOCRACY ON BRYAN.
The executive committee of
the ,gold democratic party issued
a stirring address to the mem
bers of the party last Friday.
The gold democratic, organiza
tion will cast its vote directly
for Mr. McKinley this year, and
not indiractly as it did four years
ago. The address concludes:
"Mr. Bryan seeks power by
an appeal to the anti-expansion
and anti-trust sentiment of the
people. The difficulties of our
external policy were unforeseen,
as their solution is at present
unrepealed. The evil of trust
has no party parentage, and will
be remedied by the combined in
telligence of all parties. With
out minimizing the perils of
either, we affirm tliat no greater
evil can befall our government
than the impairment of its
vigor, the destruction of our
credit and the ruin of our indus
tries, which Mr. Bryan is special
ly pledged to effect if he gets the
power. Therefore we appeal to
ouf countrymen again to avert
disaster to their country by his
defeat."
.Four years ago uregon wa9
not only "fighting ground," but
it took a republican whose bump
of confidence was abnormal to
place a wager that tho slate
would be found in the McKin
ley column. Now Oregon is
conceded for McKinley even by
Chairman Jones. What a pleas
ure to live in a state where the
oeoole are willing to learn, and
where prejudice dees not blind
them to their own interests.
Our contemporary contem
plates the probable increase of
onr standing army to 100,000
men with well-feigned alarm,
and asks "When will it be 200,
000?" In order to relieve sus
pense, we answer: When Mr.
Bryan establishes his protector
ate over AgTunaldo's anarchic
government, and attempts to
sustain it against a hostile world.
County Court.
The commissioners' court of
Benton county convened Wednes
day, October 3rd. After the
usual routine of business, dur
ing which many bills against
the county were allowed and
ordered paid, the following spe
cial matters occupied the atten
tion of the court:
In the matter of a bridge
across the Luckiamute liver in
Kings Valley, M L, Frantz was
awarded the contract for redeck
ing the Frantz bridge for the
sum of $60.65, tas heing for
material alone. Forthesumof
$44, the same party was allowed
contract for cor structing a new
bridge across the Luckiainute
between the Frantz and Watson
bridges. For the joint work
he will receive $104.65 when
completed to the satisfaction of
tho court.
It appearing to the court that
a new bridge should be built
across Marys river at the site
known as the Hartless bridge, it
was ordered that the oouuty clerk
advertise for sealed plans, speci
fications, etc., also for bids for
construction oi same according
to approved plans, etc. The
ooutract to be awarded to lowest
responsible bidder.
In the matter of petition of
Dedrich Mohfield for road, or
gateway, from his residence to
the publio thoroughfare, W B
Kiger, G H Wamsly and Jas E
Davis were appointed viewers
and appraisers in the matter of
location and damages sustained
by parties across whose land
said gateway must extend. Said
gateway is to b& fifteen feet wide.
In the matter of O D Abbott's
claim for exemption on tax of
1899, after consideration the
petition for exemption was de
nied. Sundry persons having repre
sented that J W Dunn, super
visor of road district number 4,
had not done his duty in this
capacity and that the road would
soon be useless as a thorough
fare, said Dnnn was ordered to
appear before the court October
13, and sSate reasons, if any,
why he should nofc be removed
from office aad a successor ap
pointed in his plaee.
W h Prioe was granted a re
bate of $5 on fees paid by him
as administrator of M McGrath
estate.
In the matter of Mulkey-Dixon
road, near Philomath, continued
for the term.
Various persons having peti
tioned in the matter of Corvallis
Philotnath road, the matter was
continued until Saturday,. Octo
ber 13.
C H Worthington, of Alsea,
allowed bounty for one wildcat
scalp.
In the matter of petition of
P H Marley for return of money
paid at tax sales, $ 10. 76 was
allowed in full payment thereof.
The report of S N Wilkins,
coroner of Benton county of in
quest held over body of James
McLaiu was- placed on file.
Tho semi-annual reports of
the county clerk, sheriff and
treasurer of Benton county were
examined and placed on file.
Freight Rate on Lumber.
M. J. Miles, a lumberman from
Wisconsin, and who has- spent
considerable time recently m
the vicinity of the Siletz Indian
reserve, has formed a very favor
able opinion of the timber of
that section. According to Mr.
Miles the price of stumpage in
Wisconsin is about as much
as it will cost to ship from Ore
gon East. Stumpage in the
East is sold at $12 per thousand
while tha freight rate is $13.
As a result of the gentleman's
investigations it is evident that
on the Siletz river there is a
vast forest of very valuable tim
ber and it appears that Eastern
"squatters" have already located
on tho most valuable part of it.
From what he says, there is
water sufficient iu the river to
carry great rafts down to tho
mouth," where sawmills will in
time be located. Furthermore,
there is plenty of water on the
bar to admit fair-sized schooners
to enter the river and load lum
ber for the markets. Regarding
Oregon lumber and the Eastern
market, Mr. Miles is of the
opinion that the present rate will
not keep our product at home
In this connection he says:
He has seen a great deal of
coast fir going by his station
bound for Atlantic seaports, and
even great logs 100 leet long
and squaring 18 inches at their
r
