HE CQRVALLIS GAZETTE Published Tuesdays and Fridays by the Gazette Publishing Co., for $2.00 per annum, or 25 per cent discount if cash is paid in advance. A PRINCELY TIP. John D. Rockefeller has again given a striking evidence of his liberality by making a waiter, who served him at dinner in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the mu nificent tip of five cents, accom panying the gift with the sage advice to put the money in a sav ings bank. While there has noc yet been any report thatStand ard Oil has advanced a notch, it is certain that the people will be required to make up for the do nation and when John D begins the erection of that marble palace in Queen Anne Gate, where he hopes to hobnob with London swelldom, it is possible that he may regret squandering, that nickel. Collis P. Huntington once made a similar gift of three cents to a seeming tramp, w ho applied to him for the price of a meal, and he told the party to buy '"sinkers" with the coppers, as they were filling. Chickens al ways come home to roost, so the former Southern Pacific magnate found to his cost, for the poor chap proved to be a shrewd rail road promoter, down on his up pers at the time, and it took just three millions of unpaid dividends for i he S. P. to afterwards secure control of a little Arizona branch line which the hungry beggar had cinched. It does not always pay to give too lavishly, nor to hand out advice with one's giv ing. MUST OBSERVE NEW LAW. Although many, if not all the candidates, for President of the Senate or Speaker of the House may not be aware of the fact, yet their campaigns for election come within the regulations of the cor rupt practices act adopted by the people last June. Section 10 of the act specifical ly provides that the term "public office" shall apply to the presid ing office of either branch of the Legislature. Such candidates would not, however, be bound by section 8 of the act, limiting campaign expenditures, for that section applies only to a candidate "who has received the nomina tion to a public office." But they are apparently subject to the pro visions of section 19 of the act, which forbids, directly or indi rectly promises of appointment to any position of honor, trust or emolument. Under this regulation it will be dangerous for aspirants for pre siding offices to promise commit tee chairmanships, by means of which these contests have fre quently been decided in the past. They are also bound to the terms of section 26, which pro hibits treating, with the hope of influencing votes, and by seccion 37, which makes ' it unlawful to become a candidate for the pur pose of defeating another candidate-and not with a bona fide in tention to obtain the office. The section relating to promises of appointment is apparently the one that applies most directly to the contest for the Speakership and the Presidency of the Senate. committee to include in the bill such appropriation as is neces- sary in connection with . an ap propriation by the Oregon Leg islature to purchase the canal and locks at Willamette Falls or build a new canal on the -opposite side of the river. ..

Representative Hawley, of this state, has started in at the be ginning of the Congressional session to land everything he can for Oregon, especially in the matter of rivers and harbors im provement. Not only will he work for all the projects indorsed in the report of the chief of en gineers, but for rivers and har bors along the Coast, and he feels reasonably confident of get ting appropriations for Coos Bay, Tillamook Harbor and Siuslaw, as recommenced in the special report of the engineers. He will also undertake to per suade the rivers acd harbors Benton Coiinty Ignored By Portland Papers. It is a well known fact that Corvalhs and Benton county are always intentionally slighted or openly misrepresented" by the Portland papers whenever an opportunity is offered, but no more marked illustration of this utterly uncalled for antipathy could possibly be found than the description given by the Pacific Northwest, a Portland farm jour nal, of the trip recently made by the Southern Pacific demonstra tion train through the Willam ette Valley. This train, as is universally known, was prepared and fitted out at Corvallis. Its prominent demonstrators were nearlyif not all from OAC at Corvallis, at which point it stopped over one night, but in all the write up of the trip, occupying several pages and exhaustively describing the 442 miles covered, the 27 prin cipal agricultural centers stopped at and the resources of the sec tions passed through, not one single mention in the entire ar ticle is made of either Corvallis or Benton county. This might be passed over as a matter of forgetfulness on the part of the writer who accompa nied the train, were it not for the fact that every other stop and all the different counties in the Valley were given prominent mention. Such a spirit is too narrow for impartial criticism and well de serves the contempt of every res ident of Benton countv. WE In considering the problem of Resolve to visit us.

Stark Delicious Apple is a wondrous success, and solely on its genuine merit is the most talked of apple today. This is what one of the greatest commision houses in the country says of it: "Last year we secured one carload of Del icious from Washington and placed them in small lots in Chicago and large Eastern cities at 40 per cent more in price than oth er varieties we handled at that time. Who ever had them last year, have repeatedly asked for them this year before our supply arrived. This year we are selling Delicious at 50 per cent more than Jonathan, Grimes Golden, Rome Beauty, Alexander, etc. They are just what particular people want in a fine table apple, being neither too sweet nor too spur, a fine looker and have good keeping qualities. We unhesitatingly(say we consider it the best all round apple, espec ially for table use, and in our estimation Delicious should head the list of all apples.
