Successful Meeting. - ; ; The parents,' teachers' and school officers' meeting . held in Blodgett Valley last Saturday by Supt. Denman has been pro nounced a success in every sense. ! Notwithstanding the snow storm! during the previous night, and which contiuned the following morning, over one hundred were present. ... When the meeting was called to order at the appointed hour, there were not sufficient seats to accommodate those pre sent. The Summit people brought with them their brass band as well as their baskets. This band, under the tutorship of Prof. Mill er, is making rapid progress' and by the time spring opens up with its picnic season, it will be pre pared to furnish very good music. Miss Anna Hall read an excell ent paper on "The ..Teachers' Duty to Her School." It was filled with valuable suggestions. High ideals on the part of a teacher, moulding of character, .training pupil to live for others, were developed in an interesting manner. Mr. A. Cadwalader gave an interesting talk on "ine L)i rector's Duty in Employing the Teacher." ., Being a director, he went at nis subject in a manner which showed his interest in our schools. Ht thought' directors should always consult with their county superintendent. It pajrs to employ a teacher with a known reputation even if $4.0 has to be paid in the smallest district. Such teacher does more actual good in turee montns tnan an inexper ienced one can do in five. "The Mother's Part in Helping the Teacher" was ably presented by a paper from Mrs. Emma Gellat- y. Sue said mothers can exert great influence in the way of hav ing regular attendance and they should provide for the comfort of the child when sent to school. roper clothing and proper diet demanded the mother's attention Children should be supplied with sufficient books. , If parent dis agrees with teacher remember the children come from different homes with different home- gov ernment. Praise rather than criticise is .the best motto. Re corder Vincent gave a fine talk ou "The difference between the educated man and the uneducat ed man.". His address was well received, and filled with excellent suggestions. Superintendent Den man gave a talk on "Some things about our boys and girls." He placed manhood and womanhood before earthly things. He said the boy in demand in the busi ness, world must have ordinary intelligence, tnorcugn common school education, must -not smoke cigarettes, and - be J willing to work. . - The literary program prepared by the Blodgett school under the direction of the teacher. Miss Hall, was excellent. . Each one participating went through his selection without a single failure. All the recitations were well rendered. A quartette from Summit, ' consisting ot Manly Underhill. Misses - Lang and Strouts and Howard Underhill, rendered two fine selections. Much of the success of the meet ing is due to the nelp trom our Summit school patrons. The basket dinner was beyond doubt the best gotten ' up by the fair ladies of Blodgett. The next parents' meeting will be held in Fairmount. The Original. Foley & Co., of Chicago, originated Honey and Tar as a throat and lung remedy, and on account of the great merit and popularity of Foley's Honey and Tar many imitations are, offered 10 the genuine.

Declares - for New and Square Deal from New Deck, ' Ed. Gazette! There are a few things at least one of the great proletary wants," and . by your permission and kindness we will make them known" through the Gazette. " First we want our candidate for' office, especially for congress, to declare them selves on all issues now before our country for settlement. ' We want free .sugar from the hilippines which means justice or that people. We want no part of the Hawaiian revenue applied op the expenses ot the home government, save only so much as will reimburse us for our outlay made for their benefit. We wanta republican congress with gtit and gumption enough to adjust tariff" inequalities (ox which there are many) without fear or favor. We have no use for "stand patters." We want all candi dates in Oregon .to come out plainly and say whether they are with the president or not in his great effort to clean out the au- gean stables in Oregon land mat ters. Not "one of all who have announced themselves for con gress or for governor, as to that. have dene so. Come out, gen tlemen ; don' t let your modesty cover a multitude 01 sins or 01 good stout words either. Where do you stand? ' Fellow republican, we are in desperate straits, "between the devil and the deep seai" On the one hand democracy, on the other hand the old gang who mock at honesty and sneer at 'the presi dent and his officers who are try- ng to cut the tentacles of the huge octopus of greed and fraud that is strangling honest govern ment. I cite yon to what is said of us in the Washington .Post in the Oregonian of Saturday, Jan. 13. . It is up to the people of Oregon to speak out and let the country know we are for honest and capable men, and we have them in the republican party in Oregon. "Don't want any better men," some one writes on to the Cap itol. Don't that make vou tired? Why does not our central com mitteemen call public meetings and give the voters a " chance to put themselves on record? Re publican "Watchman, what of the night?" With ,the leading republican paper of the state under the ban, a democratic journal supplanting it at the rate of two to one in republican hemes, I s?y, what of the night? For I assure you as 'the people read they will vote, and don't you forget it,. .-For as sure as.the miud is focused bv a yellow journal it will see things yellow. We want a new deal, as well as a square deal, and that out t a new deck.; What do we want of a man who sat in the gov ernor's chair snoozing while thieves stole our land, and tim ber? Why sir. the impudence! and gall of the old crowd is enough to send a tremor up the spinal Column of Mt. Jefferson, which only bears the name of a, patriot. And now, in conclusion, 1 wasH born a whig; was christened a republican in the ' 'bloody six ties:" but if our candidates tor office will not line' up with the president in his efforts for honest government, I tor one (and there are thousands of them) will vote for any little old thing that will. . B. F. Totten, Proletary, Oak Ridge, Benton CoAnty, Oregon. The Gazette in extending the privilege ofjpublic expression to Mr. Totten, does not necessarily endorse all of that gen tleman's utterances, but is granting him the courtesy the same as we will to all those who may care to express , them selves on the issues of the times. Others are freely welcome te exprets their views so far as our facilities ' permit of our granting the privilege. An expression of ideas is a good thing, and while on many points the Gazette may differ with a certain writer, the latter shall have a "square deaL" E1. . " According to Contract. Last week the Corvallis water committee sent R. M. Gilbert, of this city, to Ta coma, Wash., in order that he might inspect the pipe that is now in course of manufacture in said city for use in the Rock Creek water system now being installed by the city of Corvallis. Samples ot pipe, that had already arrived in this city were not according to con tract so Vr. Gilbert was sent up to inspect the pipe. As a result Mr. Gilbert con demned much pipe, some of which was ready for. shipment to Corvallis. ,' In view of the state of affairs Mr. Russell , a repre sentative of the Tacoma pipe manufacturing , company, came down to Corvallis during the first of. the week, -accompanied by Mr. Gilbert. , Mr. Russell de sired to meet with the members of the water committee, which pleasure was afforded him Tues day afternoon. When the matter came up for discussion, Mr.Russell said that he was sending to Corvallis pipe such as was being sent to lother cities on similar contracts, that a little sap here and there had never been turned down be fore. The committee firmly told the gentleman that they cared not what was acceptable to other cities, but that the contract with Corvallis called for wood pipe, clear and free of sap, and that said contract must be lived up to'in every detail. This was practically the size Russell ot the situation and . Mr. returned home satisfied that noth ing short of a good, faithful ful fillment of our contract will satis fy us. Mr-G'lbert has also re turned to Tacoma tp continue his duties as pipe inspector, for Corvallis. At the meeting Tuesday after noon every member of the water committee was present except ing Senator Avery, who is in San Francisco on business, and Thomas Leese, who also was out of town attending business'. The water committee have acted wisely in this matter. ' A Social Event! The home at Miss Bertha Davis was the scene of much merriment Thursday afternoon of last week. . It was occasioned by a china shower tendered Miss Clara Fisher, in honor of her ap proaching marriage. Miss Davis was assisted in entertaining her guest by Mrs. ti. o. rernot.., Many amusing incid.ntsot bridal trips were re sponded to as each guest's name was unfolded from a large ball of yarn where they had been coh- cealed. . Attea a delicious luncneon a sparkling toast was given to the bride to be. An old time bridal march by Mrs. T. Fred Yates; vocal solo by Mrs. E. F. Pernot; a reading by Mrs. B. W. John son, added much to the program. Bach guest received a dainty hand-painted souvenir, the work of Mrs. Gertrude Strange. How to Avoid Pneumonia. We have never heard of a single in stance of a cold resulting in pneuoiniiia or other lung- trouble when Fogy's Ilonev and Tar has been taken.. It i ot only stops the cough, bnt heals a d strengthens the lungs. Abk for boiev s Honey and Tar and refuse any substitn e offered. Dr. C. J.
