ELECTIONS FOR 1908.
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

Waggoner,-at Portland.
Mrs. Denning from near Junc
