upon as very good.

By Way of Reply.
Ed Gazette: As I am request
ed by Mr. W. A. Jolly, of Phil-
math, to answer certain questions
that have been suggested to him,
I beg space for the following
brief statements of facts:
When I announced that I
would support the successful re
publican nominee 'for the office
of county commissioner, whom
ever he might prove to be, I did
so with the full .knowledge that
if not nominated myself, Mr.
Jolly would be that candidate. I
promised to support him as he
was (a republican) and asked for
no public declarations of his
ideas on side issues assurance of
his republicanism and the en
dorsement of his fellows
have sufficed for me.
However, in reply
would
to Mr.
support
do not
answer
or as a
Jolly's question if I will
the local option taw, I
hesitate in the least to
that as a private citizen,
public servant, I
propose to en-
force, so far as in
my power it is
possible, such laws as are favored
by a majority of our citizens.
Hoping on this statement that
Mr. Jolly cau find no fault with
my condidacy for the office of
county commissioner, I am,
Very truly,
Geo. W. Smith.

" Ask and ye shall receive
there seems much truth in the
saw. Duiing the recent past we
have been ssking a little and
have been receiving. Few towns
the size of Corvallis can be found
in Oregon with railroad lacilities
such as ours. This is the termi
nus of the West Side and the C.
& E. passes through the city
from east to west. Aside from
this we have several trains be-
tween AlDany ana orvauis
dailv.
Heretofore if any person had a
desire to 20 to Independence on
a freight they were compelled to
get a permit. Sometimes a
person's notice was so short that
there was not time to secure sucn
nermission to travel on the
r ' . . . .
freight tram and mucn incon
venience resulted to the Corvallis
nublic havinfir business id Inde
pendence, Dallas, or way points,
The same trouble was experien
ced bv those who resided in the
last mentioned towns.
Recognizing our needs and
wishing to improve conditions
here, B. W. Johnson, president
of the Citizens' League, took the
matter up some time back with
Mr. W. E. Coman, of the South
ern Pacific Co. A letter with re
ference to the communication ad
dressed Mr. Coman was penned
Mr. Johnson recently by A. L
Craig, of the S. P. In this let
ter Mr. Craig says: .
."I: have much pleasure in say
ing tnat arrangement will be
made to handle passengers on
trains 55 and 56 between Inde
pendence and Corvallis and in
termediate points. I " am very
glad,- indeed, that you called our
attention to the matter."
Just when the above accomo
dation will be inaugurated is not
known, but it will be appreciated
to the fullest at any time.
