ROJSBVELT TO WIN.
It now begins to look like a
battle-royal between Roosevelt
and the great corporation inter
ests of tha ''0'jntry. It is alleg
ed that there is a conspiracy on
foot under the supervision of
the Rockefeller-Harriman-Hearst
combination to defeat the further
ance of what is generally known
as "Rooseveltian" principles and
policies.
In fact, the allegation is made
that a fund of 5, 000, 000 has
been pledged to defeat any man
whom President Roosevelt might
endorse as his successor. In the
meantime beyond doubt every
thing possible will be done by
this combination to block such
legislation as may be a hindrance
to the consummation of certain
undertakings as are not sanction
ed by Roosevelt and the masses
In this task the alleged conspira
tors will undertake to mould
public sentiment against Roose
velt and his party. Just at this
time they could conceive no
greater task-
While not always approving
tV? president's acts the public
n.ver distrusts his motives; that
his objects are worthy and his
aims for the public good the vast
majority of his fellows will
agree. That he is a man for the
people cannot be denied, and his
policy for attempting the regu
lation of railroad and corporation
interests is a matter very close to
the.public heart. Such being
the case the majority will side
with --oosevelfc and will stick
closer thin a wax plaster in the
straggle betwaen him and those
pledged to down his policies.
It looks as though the effect of
tha fight made against Roosevelt
or any man he might select as
his successor in the presidential
chair, democrat or republican,
might drive Roosevelt into the
acceptance of another term at
the White House. And the more
corporation and railroad inter
ests fight him the greater the
certainity of his re-election.
Should Roosevelt again run for the
presidency he will be a good man
to back- It is also a safe pre
diction that he get none the
worst of it in public opinion
where there may be a clash be
tween the president and the cun
ning triumvirate, Rockefeller,
Harriman and Hearst.
Great are all things Oregon!
Whatever we set out; to do we
always play first "fiddle" before
we're done with it. To U3 be
longs the credit of the greatest
"true" fish story this year. A
sturgeon got stuck on a Snake
river shoal and was hooked.
Small wonder the sturgeon got j
stuck as it weighed 560 pounds.
A few of these fellows in a fish
basket would represent a good
day's catch.
Up at Hood River the school
boys are said to have killed a
skunk in school. Probably the
varmint followed Mary there, a
la' lamby. At any rate it lost its
life for following a dangerous
precedent there is no school in
session at the present time, as
the house is being fumigated and
the boys are enjoying large doses
of the open-air cure.
Old Landmark to be Razed.
The old building on Main
street just vacated by the J. B.
Marvin restaurant is one of the
oldest in Corvallis and no one
seems to know just when it was
built nor who built it. It has
been used mostly as a saloon,
among the proprietors who have
been in business behind its doois
being Cushman, Baker, Cooke,
Hanson & Taylor, Davidson and
Tomrny Whitehorn.
Away back in 1884 a shoot
ing affrav occurred there in
which Nick Baeson was shot bv
Hugh McTimmons, and the af-
1 fair is often recalled by old
(timers to the present dav. Be-
-on was a butcher and McTim
mons was a bartender. John
Meninger and a gambler named
Sid M jore also w minor parts
in the play. Braeson was not
! riouslv wonndfd, but Mc
Timmons got a year in thepen
for the shooting.
These, and many other inci
dents of by gone days are dis
cussed about 1 he streets as the
rorkmen begin tearing' away
this old landmark in order to
make room tor a modern brick
building. A part of the building
will be moved back towards the
alley for use as a wood shed and
the remainder will be razed.
Meanwhile the old structure,
that stood next door is now on
north Main street, in front of the
Beach warehouse, stuck fast in
1 the mud and waiting for the sun
to appear and dry the streets so
that the moving can proceed. It
goes, as previously stated, to a
location near the saw mill, to be
used as a dwelling.

Survey is Completed.
Will Newport have a railroad?
It certainly begins to look that
way tor a Newport writer says in
the Reporter:
"The surveying party under
the direction of the chief sur
veyor, S. L. Miller, completed
the survey from Seaside to
Newport Thursday, March 28th.
The whole distance Irom Sea
side to Newport is 116 miles.
The party was in the hill for
about three months. The last
stake was set on the bluff above
the Ocean House. The survey
ran along the high bluff north of
Nye Creek and crossed the creek
at the hath house. Andrew Por
ter who carried the transit said
the route was practical lor a rail
road but it would be costly to
build it; said that along the Til
limook coast was the worst he
ever saw for logs and brush, but
he said the views both on land
and sea was grand beyond des
cription. But the road once
built wou'd be traveled by all
tourists who enjoy the scenic
beauties of nature. The party
by orders from headquarters was
disbanded and departed for their
homes Saturday morning as
happy as clams at high tide af
ter being in the mountains fo?
three months. But the most
fortunate thing of all w-isof.tbt-eighteen
men who composed the
party not a single acc dent occur
and none.of them got sick.
He is Dead.
The death of Woods Jackson
occurred at the Occidental hotel
at an early .hour Friday morning,
after an illness of a number of
weeks, and because of long con
tinued ill health the end was not
unexpected by relatives and
friends.
The funeral occurred Irom the
residence of E. D. Jackson, a
son, in this city at one o'clock'
Sunday afternoon, the services
being conducted by Rev.
and interment was in the Locke
cemetery.
Woods Jackson was born in
Illinois Jine 14, 1830. He came
to Oregon from tnat state in
1852 and was married to Rebe
kah Vale December 25, 1853.
With his wife he settled on a
donation claim near Sulphur
Spring and in 1863 removed to
a farm near Parker station. In
November 1892 Mr. and Mr .
Jackson came to Corvallis, and
Mrs. Jackson died in 1893.
Mr. Jackson has ever since
made his home in this city He
has suffered greatly from rbeu
matism and for a long time be
fore his last illness had been ob
liged to go about on crntches.
The immediate survivors are
three sons, Isaac, Eugene and E
D. Jackson ot Beoton county;
and two daughters, Mrs. Neat-
hammer of Sheridan, and Mrs
Nancy Bates of Porreroy, Wash

" COMMON SENSE """" '
Leads most intelligent people to use only
meendines of Known composition. There
fore it is thai Dr. Pierce's medicines, the
makersof wftich print every ingredient
enteringhjio them upon the bottle wrap
pers and attest its correctness under oath,
are daily grewing in favor. The com
position of DV.JPierce's medicines is open
to ever? bod vVPr. Pierce being desirous
of having the srm-h iisht. of investipa-
Hon turned fully upon his formulie. being
conhdent that tho better the composition
otthese medicines is known the more
will theJpg"-.'a"t curative merits be recog-
nizea. neing wnouy maae 01 the actwe
medicinal principles extracted from na
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with Dr. Pierce, and without the
nse of a drop of alcohol, triple-refined and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit - forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers the same as sworn to by
Dr. Pierce, and you will find that his
"Golden Medical Discovery," the great,
blood-purifier, stomach tonic and bowel
regulator the medicine which, while not
recommended to cure consumption in its
advanced stages (no medicine will do that)
yet does cure all those catarrhal condi
tions of head and throat, weak stomach,
torpid liver and bronchial troubles, weak
lungs and hang-on-coughs, which, if neg
lected or badly treated lead up to and
finally termi:!- e in consumption.
Take the " widen Medical Discovery"
in time and it is not likely to disappoint
you if only you give It a thorough and
fair trial.' 'Don't expect miracles. It
won't do supernatural things. You must
exercise your patience and persevere in its
nse for a reasonable length of time to et
its full benefits. The ingredients of which
Dr. Pierce's medicines are composed have
the unqualified endorsement of scores of
medical leaders better than any amount
of lay, or non-professional, testimonials.
They are not given away to be experi
mented with but are sold by all dealer in
