Among the items of the detailed
account of the proceedings of the

Eugene last week, the Register
says: "Dr. Thompson was released
last January from a pastorate of 14
years over the church at Corvallis,
a pastorate long enough to test any
man, and the presbytery in forma
action recorded its appreciation of
the valuable service of Dr. Thomp
son at Corvallis in which he showed
himself to be a Christian gentle
man, a man of fervent piety, a
loyal friend and a fervent minister
of the gospel." .
.. Mr. Holgate Explains.
Editor Gazett: Your edi
torial comment on one of my let
ters makes it necessary for me
to beg space to explain that my
article was either very clumsily
wri:ten or very oddly interpreted.
I referred to a rumor afloat
here to the effect that a number
of prominent senators of both
parties urged Chairman Jones to
telegraph the democratic mem
bers of the Oregon legislature
asking them to vote for Senator
Mitchell. I said that even the
rumor, since it testified to the
public estimate of the senator's
relations with his colleagues,
was itself an evidence of his
strength. Despite the bright
light of yonr criticism, I fail
utterly to see that I even hinted
that his democratic support in
Oregon was an evidence of bis
strength. I referred to his
power as a senator, not a candi
date. As to his electien: The faot
that he was elected is tke princi
pal thing. The mere political
alignment ef his supporters,
since he was elected as a repub
lican, will cut no figure. Sena
tor Morgan has loss no prestige
on account of' the republican
votes given him ; nor has Sena
tor Hoar's influence greatly
diminished because of the fact
every democrat in the Massachu
setts legislature .voted fer him.
Of course, as you state, Senator
Mitchell should fcaye received
the votes of all the repnblicas
members of the legislature.
You say: "The mention in
Mr. Holgate's letter that Sena
tor Simon and Representative
Moody are especially sought out
by the special correspondents of
the Oregonian and their doings
chronicled in a more friendly
and elaborate way than the acts
of other members from Oregon is
very indiscreet. This paper be
lieves that when members are
elected te the national legisla
ture it is best to encourage all to
work together and to hold op
their hands and support each
and all of them in every way,
dropping the small talk engen
dered to some extent possibly
by antagonistic efforts in political
contests."
How indiscreet? If you mean
it is not good policy on my part,
that is a very small considera
tion. The statement is abso
lutely true; and is not, as you
seem to fear, discreditable to
Senator Simon and Mr. Moody.
I cannot agree in your infer
ence that the friendship of the
Oregonian stamps a man a de-
enerate. We ought all to take
a pride in knowing that these
gentlemen are censtantly doing
something for the state, werth
mentioning. I was net mourn
ing because their good work was
reported by the Oregonian, but I
simply called attention to the
fact that the delegation as a
whole has not received, and is
not receiving, the fair treatment
and support that the best inter
ests of tke state demand should
ba accorded it.
I fear that my letter was not
read with that careful delibera
tion which the commentator
usually employs
H. L. Holgate.
Washington, D. C.
Made of Bell-Metal.
A day r two ago W. J. Meere
brought to this office a medallion
that was found last Thursday by
Charley Knotts. Sometime back
Mr. Moore purchased some real
estate in the Soap Creek coun
try, and among other places,
he acquired a quarter section of
land of Ira Hunter. The last
mentioned place lies well up on
tha hills, and is in charge of Mr.
Moore's son, Samuel. It was
on this place that the medallion
was found. The souvenir is
quite an attractive piece of work.
On one side is the "American
Eagle," while on the other ap
pears, in relief, old Port Dear
born, as it was during the fore
part of last century. The medal
lion is about an inoh and three
quarters in diameter and is made
from the Chicago court house
bell. It bears the date of Octo
ber aa, 1871, and commenorated
the great Chicago fire., The
supposition is that somebody had
it in his pocket, possibly many
years ago, while hunting and
lost it.
Mound Openers!
Professor Raymond's class in
archaeology, which has recently
been organized in this eity with
Mr. Toha Smith as president.
took its first look backward , last
Saturday. Early that, morning
a nartv. consisting of Mrs. Calla
han, Misses Crawford and Cham
berlain, ana about a dozen stu
dents, drove to a point a mile or
so east of Shedds, where they
held a grand opening of some
mounds which had been located
there. These mounds are about
fifty feet in diameter and four or
five feet high. It is believed
that they were thrown up cen
turies ago by parties now
dead. They contain skeletons
of prehistoric tribes, arrow-heads,
and light on the history
ot savage man.
It has been discovered that the
soil in these mounds is much
richer than that of the surround
ing country. Whether this is
due to the fact that valuables
were burled there, or because the
builders brought rich soil from a
distance, is a matter for the so
ciety te determine.
Saturday's party spent a most
enjoyable day, and brought home
with them numerous beautiful ar
rowheads, both white and dark.
and a better knowledge of early
settlers in this country.
' Of Interest to Cyclers.
From present indications, it is
but fain to presume that no at
tempt will be made to do any
thing officially regarding the
Collection of bicvele taxes in
this county this year. In many
other counties no action has been
taken in this matter. According
to aa act passed by the last legis
lature the matter is practically
placed in the hands' of the county
conrt, and they may or may not
act in the matter as they see fit,
although the law says that they
"shall" have poweran author
ity to levy at tha same time that
other taxes are levied, en or be
fore March 1, 1901, a license
tax of one dollar, "to be paid by
any and all persons riding a
bicycle in such counties as have
exercised the authority above
described on such paths as here
inafter provided."
The Benton county court saw
fit to follow the lead of other
counties in this matter and made
no provisions for the collection
of the bioycie tax. along with
other tax items prior to March
1, 1 901, for the reason that the
law was only approved about a
week prior to this date and the
court held no session during- the
the interim.
Section 4 of this act says that
the court "may" order a war
rant to the sheriff of the countv
to collect a license of $1 on all
delinquents as shall not have
paid said license tax prior to
April the first of each year.
From the above it will be
seen that tbis matter is left
wholly in the hands of the conrt
and it has seen fit to take no ac
tion whatever in the matter and
in this way will escape entangle
ments that have befallen othar
counties.
Fifty Cents an Acre.
E. M. Howell, of the Portland
City & Oregon Railway Co., and
T. C. Howell, both residents of
Oregon City, have completed a
deal with A. .1,. Maxwell, re
ceiver of the Oregon Develop
ment Co., whereby they are now
owners of 6000 acres of land ly
ing along the line of Corvallis &
Eastern, and all other property of
tne u. D. company. . These gen
tlemen are brothers of J. D.
Howell, of Benton county. The
new owners propose to place this
land on the market shortly, offer
ing it for fifty cents per acre.
The deal includes all lands,
docks, wharves, warehouses, jet
ties, dikes, canals, basins, dry
houses, machine shops, elevators,
wagon roads and bridges, and all
other property, real, personal and
mixed, which the O. D. com
pany owns or in which it has any
interest in the state of Oregon.
It also includes all franchises of
every kind and description. The
property included around the bay
is the Yaquina water works, car
shops, wharves and a tug called
the Favorite. Two steamboats
in Portland, the Wni. Hoag and
Albany, are no doubt included in
the deal. They are now tied up
at the wharf in Southern Port
land. . - .

A Wild Ride.
E. E. Wilson and J3. W. John
son, the pamphleteers, had an ex
perience Sunday which would have
tried the nerve of men engaged in
other lines of business. They loft
Corvallis in the morning behind a
team from McMahon's stables and
drove to "Monroe, for the alleged
purpose of collecting views for the
coming Benton county pamphlet
There is no Sunday closing law in
Monroe. But that is another story.
Returning home in the evening
at 6:30, they had reached a point
between the butte and Mac Porter's
place, when the bolt which held the
single tree broke. The horses took
fright and lunged ahead, letting
the tongue fall to the ground. It j
soon struck a bump and a section
was broken off. This rendered the
buggy unmanageable, and Johnson
dropped the lines and began jump
ing about as a moveable ballast as
the buggy rocked from side to side,
between the ditch and a barb wire
fence. "Jump far out Johnson,"
said Wilson in that calm tone used
by him when addressing a iury.
Johnson jumped, doing a couple of
halt-nelsons and the strangle hold
as he grappled with mother earth.
A few yards further on, Wilson
alighted eracefullv on the back ef
his neck, rolling up on his feet just
as Johnson was gathering himself
for a spurt after the team. It was
finally decided that the attorney
should go to a farm bouse and bor
row a horse and buggy while the
postmaster guarded the' demolished
rig. An hour after, as they were
jogging cautiously into town behind
one of Dick Irwin s horses, they
met John Rickard who informed
them that their team was in his
stable and unhurt.

Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has tha
largest sale of any medicine in tha
civilized world. Your mother and
grandmothers never thought of
using anything else for indigestion
or biliousness. Doctors were scares
and they seldom heard of appen.
dicitis, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to cleanse out the system
and stop fermentation of undi
gested food, regulate the action ot
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad "with headaches and
other aches. You only need a few
doses of Green's August Flower, in
liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Get Green's Prize Alma
nao. Graham & Wortham.
You will waste time if you undertake
to cure indigestion or dyspepsia by stary
ing yourself. That only makes it worse
when you do eat heartily. You always
need plenty of good food properly diges
ted. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the re
sult of years of scientific research for
something that would digest not only
soma elements of food but every kind.
And it is the one remedy that will do it.
