". y. Omeial Paper for OrcEen.
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 25, 1874.

The Legislature has gone to work APP
number of bills introduced in the two
houses. Repeating bills have been in
troduced. which, ii they become laws,
will undo about all the work of that
body two years ago. Among them
we notice a bill TO repeal the Litigant
Act to abolish the law creating Com
missioner Of Sate Lands for la Grande
district, to repeal the game law; to
repeal the law creating State Board
of Equalization to repeal the law pro-
viding for the payment of the travelling
expenses OF the Supreme Judges. etc.
Bills have been introduced providing
for the abolishment Of the grand jury
system to amend the mechanics lien
law; to provide for the payment of
claims arising out of the Nodoc war !;
to amend the Code in relation to prac-
tice In the courts; to amend the road
law; to provide for the payment OF
bo,tnties ON the scalps of wild animals;
to provide tor the dis0rganization OF
ITllamook county; to provide salaries
for clerks and sheriffS. instead Of fees
as now paid to amend the act for pro-
tecting game and Ash; providing that
the Legislative Assembly shall meet
| on the second Monday in October,
1876, and on the same day every second
year thereafter; to exempt o home
stead from forced sale in certain cases.
Also. bill, introduced in the House
on Monday. was read a second time
| and referred to the Judiciary Commit
tee. to repeal the act of 1872. providing
for clerical aid in the Office of Secretary
Of State. A bill has also been intro
ducetl repeating the act creating an

ment is the watchword of the hour.

fulfill the promises made in tho last
! canvass.

The excitement over in Benton
county regarding the proposed Cor
Wallis &c Taquina Bay Narrow Guage
Railway increases in intensity, and
the feeling that her people not only
have the ability but the will to COM
plete the road-bed ready for the tics
and rail, grows stronger each day.
The subscriptions for stock in the en-
terprise has progressed so favorably
since the books were opened, that o
meeting of the stockholders has been
called for the 18th of next month. for
the election Of Directors, and the tran
saction Of such other business as may
be deemed necessary, by which time
it is confidently believed that every
dollar Of the stock will have been,
taken. The Gazette asserts its conf
dence in the belief that by next har-
vest the railroad will be an accom-
plished fact, when Benton county will
be placed on a par with the most
favored counties i'm the State in the
way of an outlet to market for all her
surplus produce. We hope that these
bright expectations may be fully reai--
lied. No one, we presutne, will for q
moment dispute the fact that the COM.
pletion OF the improvement under con-
sideration would prove Of immense
importance to the commercial interests
of Benton county. affording as It
would cheap and quick transportation
to market for all her surplus products.
The completion Of this railway would
be the precursor of other important
lines leading to the heart Of the Will
lamette Valley, which, connecting at
Corvallis, would build up city there
of no mean importance. Yaquina
Bay, too, would soon feel the influence
of the mighty trade that would at ones
be inaugurated by the completion OF
the iron track to her border, and a
great commercial mart would bo
erected on her banks, afforling em-
ployment TO large and thriving pop
ulation. Seeing the prospect before
them, let the people Of Benton county
take courage now, and give willingly
and literally toward the prosecution OF
this great enterprise, and the future
will repay them thousand fold.
