CARVED HIS WAY ALCNL C. E. Woodseo, Republican Candidate for County Judge, the Ideal Type of Amer caM Manhood. It is a part of the American character to admire the man who ly honest, earn est, patient effort has made something of himself- The wholesouled, every da v American finds more to cherish and emulate in the life of a Lincoln, Garfield or McKinley than in the lineage of the proudest king. "He is a self-made man," has come to be as high a compliment a9 one can pay. x When the republicans of TJenton coan ty named C. E. Woodaon as their candi date lor county judge, they paid a trib nte to personal worth, manly qualities, and unquestioned integrity ; and gave merited recognition to those traits of character that make our best citizens and worthiest men. "While young in years, be has'Been'aoing a man's part since he was a lad of nine, and has carved his way from a friendless orphan to a place high in the confidence andesteem of all who know him. He was bom at Newcastle, Va., Octo ber 12, 1868. At the age of nine years he was left an orphan and, as he express es it, "had to root bog or die from that time on." But the genuine American grit within him never said die, asd at the age of 16, he came west to grow up with the country. In April 18S5, he landed in Portland with a net cash capi tal of $10, and a wealth of determina tion. He took the first job he found for honeet work has always been honora ble work to C. E. "Woodson which con sisted of grubbing stumps and clearing land with a little general farm work mix ed in. After two years of this work, he went to Eastern Oregon, iu the spring of 1888, and herded sheep for a year. Com ing back to the Valley yn 1889, he was engaged for the next two years as clerk in a general merchandise store. By careful management and frugal habits he had saved up $1,000 by the fall of 1891, and had an opportunity to go into business. Up to this time young Woodson bad had almost no education, but he was am bitious to learn, and decided to goto school for a year or two atleast. Enter ing the University of Oregon in 1S91, for the next six years he attended that insti tution during the winters and worked at driving stage and in a logging camp in theurnmers, graduating from the uni versity in 1897, at the head of his clasp. His ability and worth were appreciated and he was employed for the next two years as an instructor in history and latin in the university. During this time and for the following year he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1903. About tins time he came to Corvallis and enter ed the law office of Attorney E. R. Bry soa, with whom he later became a part ner. Since severing his business rela tions with Mr. Bryson, he has continued the practice of his profession alone. Although modest and unassuming, Mr. Woodson has come to be regarded 3 one of Corvallis' 'most progressive citizens. When the' Benton County Citizen's Lea gue was organized, C. E. Woodson was looked upon as the man best fitted to be its secretary. The greater part of what it has accomplished is due to his untiring efforts, and he .has done more to keep the organization alive than any other man. The Benton County Souvenir, which has attracted so many homeseek ers to this county, was compiled by him, and he has given his time and attention to answering letters from intending set tlers conceining Benton couaty's climate, resources, and the hundred and one things new comers want to know. The Oregonian selected Mr. Woodson to write up Benton county for that jour nal's New Years edition, because it be lieved him to be better acquainted with this county's resources and better able to describe them than anyone else in this vicinity. He has cheerfully given assistance in entertainments for the purpose of raising funds to assist the various organizations at the Agricultural College, and has thor oughly identified himself with Corvallis and Benton county and every enterprise looking to their upbuilding and develop ment. The nomination for county judge came to him unsought. No more capable, competent or deserving .man could have been found in Benton county to admin- stcr this responsible office. From Wells. Autrust Paseukopf. an old resident of this locality, who recently disposed of his farm, has decided to purchase a small tract of land near Corvallis, on which to spend his old days. H13 friends are pleasrd that Mr. Pagenkopf and family will continue to make their home in Ben ton countv. Mesdames Lizzie and Ida Harris, who have been seriously ill for several weeks with pneumonia at the home of the lat ter, are rapidly recovering ; Lizzie Harris being so much improved as to be able to retura a few days ago to her own home near Wells station. Rev. Samuel Woods, of Corvallis, preaches at the Wells church every first and third Sun.iay of the month, having been returned to this circuit by the con ference at its last meeting. Eev. O MacLean fills the pulpit on the second and fourth Sundays. A general invita tion is extended to the public to attend these services. Sunday schftol begins at 3 o'clock. Farming is about completed in this section, and grain fields present an at tractive appearance. The prospect is en couraging for a season of bountiful crops, Eugene Dodele shipped a carload of hogs to Portland Saturday. JUiey were driven to Albany. It is understood that the price paid was 5,L2 cents, on foot. Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Baldwin and little enn utiil Mr anil 'Mrfl. H." T.- Hall and little 'daughter, of Buena Vista, were guests Sunday at the. home of Mr. and Mrs, Jack Hall. There was a pleasant family re-union and a sumptuous dinner at the Drnry Hodge home Sunday: The occasion was very pleasant. "Grandma" Hodge is ia very feeble health. Ben Hams is the owner of a fine new cream separator, which is said to have cost $100. Mr. Hams finds that there is good profit in handling butter fat, and from past experience, felt secure in mak ing the purchase mentioned. A number of friends , were pleasantly entertalitfd fat dinner, Sunday, by Mr, and Mrs. Al Thurston, the occasion be ing the birthday anniversary of the host. TOOTSY. , Will Visit Us, On May nth there is to be an excursion through the. Willam ette Valley for ? the benefit of Portlanders. Few ' people of the metropolis have - had an. opportii -nitv of seems this beautiful val ley and beyond doubt the excur sion will be largely aitenaea. The valley at this season of the year should be at the height ol its glory and a ride of axouple of hundred miles through it will be like a glimpse of Paradise. The train will leave Portland; under the auspices of the Past Sachems' Association, at 8 o' clock in the morning, and run up the East Side to -Albany, and J alter a stop pi au uuui ui iwj will proceed over the C. & E. to Corvallis. A : stop of. sufficient duration will be made in this citv for the pleasure-seekers to enjoy a jaunt about the city and view the O A C grounds. Few people have seen this part of the Willamette vauey and all will want Zto see it, it be ing the cream of the Upper Wil lamette. Returning on tne west side, the train : will arrive at Portland about 9 o'clock at mgnt. This is an opportunity not .al ways afforded the' people of Port land, and a bumper crowd should take advantage of tne trip. Arrangements have beer made so that no one will have to stand, plenty of scats being pro vided" for all. , Five-Mile Race. Tuesday afternoon some horse talk between Walt Brown and Roy Rickard resulted in a chalj lenge for a race- between the big black and the bay horse of their respective owners.. The race was from the Marys' ':riv bridge to the Ned Smith place," "a distance of something "more--, than five miles. The" race took place about seven o'clock' :itt the eve- nin? and attracted quite a crowd of men and boys out to the bridge to see the start. George Smith and Chester Avery acted as starters, while Walt Brown and his son, George, and Herman Breyer! ; went out to the Ned Smith place before the race to officiate as 5udges- Rov Rickard rode his own horse and Tem Vidito rode the black ani mal for Walt Brown. The horses took- a good pace from the word "go" and, con sidering the state of the roads,, made fairly good time. They made the distance in something like 17 minutes. The wager was for $20 and horse against horse. The big black of Walt Brown won by about half a mile, as nearly as could be judged. A few bets of cigars, dimes and quarters were made by outsiders. The whole aiiair passed 011 gooa naturedly. Talk about Climate ! Mr. C. Stimpson, of Sioux City, owa. who ia visiting ..with -his brother-in-law, Mr. W. G. Davis, of this ci v, is in receipt of a letter dated at Sioux City, April 26, lo02, which contains an account ot a storm that had been raging in that section. Oregonians will read it and thank their stars tnat they ive in Webfoot. Tne writer says: "We are glad that we are alive. We had the worst storm here yes terday afternoon this country has fiver knew. Today it is cold as No vembtr, with a very stifl wind from the North. Streets look like the? had been strucKwitn a club. The plate glass fronts in a half dozen stores are blown in.

The report is that in 'the vicinity of Nor folk. Nebraska, dozens of houses and barns were destroyed. Rain am rlnwn in torrents. Tfien it turned cold and snowed. Many people remained in their stores all night. It was dangerous to venture on the streets. "' V V- I "Talk about climate! We have the only climate in the world.

A Word of Protest At the. risk of repetition, the Gazette wishes again to offer a word of protest to the false re ports concerning Oregon made by irresponsible visitors from the East, who spend a few days in this state and return home to discourage desirable emigration. .; " In our last issue we devoted a few lines to a Mr. ' Hayden, of Franklin. Nebraska, who paid a flying trip to this section and re turned home with an adverse story regatding tbe country and its resources,- which the Sentinal, published at Franklin, to remark:, "We cannot recom- A letter received a few days ago by Mr. Francisco, himself a recent arrival from Nebraska, credits Mr. Hayden with the statement that Oregon is over run with people and the mud here is knee deep. Oregon, with a land area of 94,560 square miles and a popu lation of less than 500,000, over run with people! Nebraska has a land area of only 76,840 square miles, while her population is nearly 1,500,000. A few days ago a five-mile horse race occtlrr- j ed on the state road south of this city. The time made takes the edge off of Mr. Hayden's mud story. On the first day of last month Nebraska was visited by a howling blizzard and snow storm; three weeks later the peo ple of that state were sweltering in a temperature of 98 degrees and experiencing tiie pleasures of a sand storm. During that period citizens of Corvallis were enjoying an aver age temperature of 60 degrees; some beautiful spring days, and some unseasonable showers. Additional Local. ; Ride a Rambler.
