General election June 1. Registration reopens Sept. 20 Closes for election Oct. 20. Presidential election Nov. 3. HE IS RESOURCEFUL. The many notices occurring in the papers of the state indicate that our genial friend, Geprge E. Chamberlain, is rapidly measur ing the length and breadth of the state, speaking to the people to convince them that he is better fitted for their United States Senator than for the Governor of the state. George is a very re sourceful individual in the way of putting forth his claims, when a fat office looms up before his wishful vision. During the campaign preced ing the last state election, he succeeded in convincing many of the people of Oregon that it was important that he be elected gov ernor, in order to hold in check and forestall the ill effects of a republican legislature. His term as governor has not half expired when he is now advising the p?o ple that it is more important to their interests that he be elected United States Senator, and as a consequence, it follows that his remaining as governor is not so important and the danger which may arise from the acts of a re publican legislature, are not so great as his previous recommend ations indicated. Probably he was mistaken on that point when he run for gov ernor. The question, therefore, naturally arises now, whether ha is not now mistaken about the interests of the people and whether they will be better serv ed if he is elected United States Senator. The fact is the govern or is a very clever politician, and as such it is no more than natural for him to keep himself constant ly before the people grasping for' public office. The allotted terms of office are entirely too long for him- When he was prosecuting attorney of Multnomah county, he tired of that office and run for the office of governor before his term of office as prosecuting attorney had expired. He did not resign be fore he took the office of govern or, however, but retained the former office until after he was sworn in as governor, and there after appointed his successor as District Attorney. The question arises, if George is elected United States Senator, (which he will not be) will he soon thereafter deem it more im portant to be president of the United States and hold on to the office of Uni.ed States Senator until alter he shall be elected and sworn into the office as President of this great nation? These queries naturally arise, because George's vision is truiy wonder ful. ALL ARE FIRSTCLASS MEN. The names of the candidates placed at the head of-the editori al columns of this paper present an ideal lot of men, well qualified for the several offices for which they are candidates on the repub lican ticket. They are men well known in this county, and quali-j fied for the offices for which they are asking the people to vote for them. vFor these considerations an(J ! further reasons that the republi can party has been identified with and made the history of this coun ty for the last forty-eight years, the Gazette unqualifiedly rec ommends to the people these can didates for the respective offices, for which they are soliciting the support of the people. SOMETHING ABOUT MACK. Candidate for County School Su perintendent. The following information is furnished the Gazette in regard to the life and character of the republican candidate for county school superintendent: H. L. Mack was born in Clac kamas county, near Oregon City, in 1877. On completing the high school course at Stayton he entered the Mineral Springs college from which he graduated and immediately thereafter took up the profession of teaching. He has spent 12 years in the work, in Linn, Grant and Ben ton counties, being for three years the principal of the John Day high school. Mr. Mack owns 80 acres of land near Bellefountain and is a fixture in Benton county, wheth er elected county school super intendent or not. He has no property interests outside of Ben ton county, and his energy and interest in school work is plainly demonstrated in the elegant new, school building recently built at Bellefountain, the credit for which is largely due to Mr. Mack's efforts. He is a christian gentleman and stands for the highest principles in all that makes for the betterment of man kind and his candidacy is en dorsed by leading teachers of Benton county. The people of the county are surely to be congratulated in having such a man to succeed Sup't Denman. This office now needs a strong man, and Mr. Mack can and will fill the bill. If he is elected, and this is a foregone conclusion, for demo crats and prohibitionists alike are now openly advocating his election, Benton county will never be ashamed of the trust in him reposed. There is nothing in all his past life for which an apologv will have to be made. A successful teacher, honest in ever- transaction, a christian gen tleman, a temperate man, with a spotless private life, and a pub lic life one of inspiration, are the qualifications and recommenda tions made to the good people of Benton county in behalf of him. Our people have the reputation of being up in things, industri ally and educationally. We know they do not now intend to take a backward step. L. L. Brooks has recently re ceived from an Eastern relative a clipping and a picture from a newspaper there, giving an idea of the terrible cyclone that de vastated the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisana and Geor gia. The picture shows the cy clone sweeping through a town, leaving ruin in its wake, and even the picture is enough to terrorize an Oregonian. The clipping gives the number of dead -in this one storm as 1,173 and the number of injured at 356. Oregon is a pretty safe place in which to live, if it does sprinkle once in a while. TWO RUNAWAYS With Rather Serious Results. No. 9'' Injured.. John Lenger, the well known driver of "No. 9" delivery which carries the mail to and from the depot to the postoffice, is con- fined to his home with numer ous culs and bruises on his per son and with lamed muscles and stiff neck, and Mr. Burrows of j Portland is at Hotel Corvallis with a broken rib and minor in-. juries, as the result of a runaway which happened about noon, Wednesday. Mr. Lenger was driving along near the John Smith home, ac companied by the two railway mail clerks, Burrows and Mc- I.Closky, when the horse sudden i lv began kicking and running. n going over a rather high crossing near the M. E. church the men were thrown out, Mr. Leneer alighting on his head and shoulders. The other men were also pitched out, Mr. Bur rows meeting with the most seri ous injury, but Mr. McClosky was able to return to Portland on the afternoon train. It is presumed that a strap broke and frightened the horse, as the accident happened so quickly that Mr. Lenger is un able to account for the cause. The animal ran on down Main street with a part of the rig and this frightened a spirited team belonging to Ray Stoner which stood on Main street hitched to a .buggy. The team dashed away and was caught several blocks southwest of the starting point, the only damage done be ing a broken neckyoke and single-trees. PRAISE FOR OAC SPEAKERS Farming Demonstration Train a Great Success. The farming train which left demonstration Portland Sun day night over the O. R. & N. and is touring Eastern Oregon, is meeting with ovations at every stopping place from the farmers of the section through which it is" passing, and the speakers from OAC are receiving yery flattering notices through the press. They are Dr. Withy coc .be, Prof. Lewis and P,roL Scudder, and Byron Hunter, of Corvallis, assistant agriculturist of the U. S. Department of Ag riculture, is also with the train. In regard to the visit of the train there a Condon dispatch to the Oregonian says: "The lectures were not stereotyped- discourses on scientific farming, but were bright, snappy recommendations by men who were letter perfect in their knowledge of the subject. "Prof. Withycombe warned the farmers that it would be im possible to continue indefinitely the growing of wheat, declaring that there were but few other crops that were more exhausting on the soil. He asserted that every ton of wheat shipped from the farm carries with it $S worth of plant food, all of which could be saved or returned to the soil by live stock husbandly. He spoke in glowing terms of the fine market that would be pro vided for livestock by the estab lishment of great abattoirs at Portland. He expressed the be lief that the best returns from land now idle in summer fallow could be secured from peas, rape or alfalfa, which could be fed to hogs at a great profit as wTell as incidentally being of great value in returning to the soil proper ties that had been exhausted by continued cropping to wheat even when summer fallowing was practised . " 'There should be trainloads of fat hogs and sheep shipped out annually from these sections,' said Dr. Withycombe. 'The great feeding grounds for lamb and mutton production of the North west should be found in the wheat farms of the Inland Em pire. "Professors Bradley and Scud der went into details regarding the plainly demonstrated advan tage of crop rotation and showed in a convincing manner how all of the snmmer fallow land now idle could be cropped to the ad vantage of the wheat crop, and also to yield a heavy profit in the off year when wheat was not grown." . Monroe News. Merle G. Howard Came home Thursday evening to get a team to take apart of the botanv class from OAC to Mary's Peak. Dr. Howard went with him and re ported a fine time with as nice a class of young people as he ever saw go" on an outing trip. Rev. Bryan is 'conducting re vival meetings at the Simpson Chapel M. E. church. Henry Hawley is improving slowly. He had his leg broken recently. Miss Reta Price of Portland is visiting at the A. H. Hawley home. Mrs. Walters is at her home near Simpson Chapel.
