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.

WARM CONTRIBUTION.
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.

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

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.
