TURNS PHILOSOPHER.
Mr. Jackson nass "Studied Out" What is
the Matter With the Salvation Array,
nod Things in General.
Errroa Gazette: God grant I may
be worthy of the appellation, "Peace
maker," as suggested in the heading yon
placed over my letter of the 2nd inst.;
for nothing would rejoice my heart more,
than to see all the christian people of
Philomath united in an harmonious en
deavor to elevate the moral and financial
condition of mr beautiful little college
town. And I can also say the same in
regard to Corvallis. For, being as I am
a soldier in an "army t peace" which
girdles the earth, I could not discharge
my duty in any better way than to say or
do something that would cause the re
conciliation and nmty of action among
the followers of Him the hosts of heav
en rang in commemoration of His birth.
Glory to God in the highest. Peace on
earth, good .will to men. And what
more fitting time or opportunity than
the coming festivities in celebrating the
greatest event in the world's history,
could such reconciliation take place the
birth of the child, Jesus, who was to and
does save His people.
I think I have studied oat the reason
or first pause, which leads to so much
strife and contention, both in civil and
religious bodies. It is (according to my
observation and view of the case) undue
harsh criticism. While it is our prive
lege and right to criticise the conduct of
others, we should exercise that right,
tempered with a full measure of charity.
Oh ! how it has pained my heart to listen
to the unfriendly criticisms of comrades
in the Salvation Army of our officers and
leader?, and also in church organizations !
And I have observed that this kind of
criticisms leads to contention and striie,
and I fiimly believe this kind of criti
cism led to the unsatisfactory condition
in the Salvation Ai my in Corvallis. I
feel sure this is the reason of so much
discord iu Philomath, in regard to our
city officials. ' J
It is so natural and easy for us to 'ob
serve the faults and discover the mistakes
of others, and so hard to perceive our
own faults and wrongdoings, that we
sood, I may say, unconsciously kindle
the fire of distrust and contention, until,
to the surprise of our better natures, the
little flame bursts forth in its awful fury
of burning conflagration of angry strife.
This onght not so to be, especially
among christians.
In conclusion let me thank you for
your kindness in publishing my letter of
2nd inst., and may the God of peace
abundantly bless you, is the sincere
prayer of
Yours for better times,
E. A, Jackson.

Their Election.
Perhaps in no place of its size
is there a larger lodge of the or
der, a better class of members,
more interesting meetings or
more perfect harmony, than is
found in the United Artisan
lodge of Wells.
That the attendance is not
larger is a source of regret, and
being due to carelessness on the
part of members, could easily be
overcome. During the coming
year it is earnestly hoped that
each one will attend regularl y
and do his full duty towards
building up the local lodge still
further.

Wednesday's Oregoniaa an
nounces the resignation of Geo.
E. Waggoner, an old Corvallis
boy, as chief clerk of the surveyor-general's
off ce, to enter into
business with a land and mining
investment company spon to be
organized in Portland: That
paper speakes in the following
complementary language of Mr.
Waggoner:
As cheif clerk of the Surveyor
General's office for six years, Mr.
Waggoner has made a large ac
quaintance with . the business
men and public men of the state.
Patrons of the office regard him
as one of the most obliging and
efficient men in that department
of the government service.
The vacancy will be filled
from the classified service, rec
comraendations for appointment
coming from the Civil Service
Commission. It is likely that
preference will be given to some
Oregon man already in that
branch of the service. The sala
ry is $1800 per annum, with an
annual leave of 30 days on pay.
This is one of the best clerical
positions in the state. Were the
appointment to come from politi
cal maneuvering, Mr. Waggon-
er's resignation wouia give rise
to a lively contest. But as the
appointment comes. -from compe
titive examination and proved
ability, the struggle for prefer
ment will not come before the
bublic.
Will be a Gala Day.
Benton county Woodmen of
the World have about completed

It is said to be a fact that at
last the farm, for 17 years occu
pied by A. J. Hall, at Wells, has I
been sold. The owner is J. J.
Yore, of Downey ville, California,
and the buyers, according, to re
port, are George Green, of Port

prises 243 acres, and the part on
which the house and barn are lo

the future are not known.

few improvements will make one

Miscalled His Hand.
Clum Reed's hand is not a dia
mond. He proved this fact to
his utmost satisfaction one day
this week. This is not saying
that Clurn's hand is not so valua
ble as a diamond, nor yet so or
namental, but it lacks one of the
properties that distinguishes that
gem it willnot cut glass. Clum
was arranging Christmas toys in
fetching display on the shelves
at H. W. Hall's, and stepped
back to survey his work, forget
ful of the fact that he was bal
anced upon the top of a step lad
der. On his way to the floor, he
endeavored to balance on the
glass show case on his left elbow.
His intention was all right, but
his elbow was too sharp, and as
it passed through the glass,
Clum straightened out his arm.
The knuckles of his hand struck
with great force against the edge
of the broken glass, cutting the
fingers to the bone.
