GONE TO WORK-A SUGGESTION
Capt. Geo. G.. Smith, of the Govern1
ment snagboat called last Saturday!
The snagboat is now at work soms
distance above the city clearing tbe
river Of snags and other impediments
to navigation. During last season.
under the direction Of Capt. Smith,
large amount of substantial work
was accomplished on the Willamette
between Oregon City and Corvallis,
no less than two hundred and eighty
snags being removed, among them the
big Pine" at Luckiamute, and others
almost as large, all of them more or
less serious impediments to the naviga-
ton of the Upper Willamette. If an
appropriation could be secured en-
nabling Capt. Smith to purchase an
engine for the boat, more than thribble
the amount of work could be done each
season, as the power could be trans
ftrred to the capstan, when not in use
propelling the boat from point to
point, and used in pulling out snags.
At present all the work is done by
hand-power, which is iaborous as well
as slow and tedious. As there seems
to be no probability of obtaining an
increased appropriation from the Cen
eral Government for the improvement
of our river. it might be well enougt
for our Granger friends to look into
the matter. If we are correctly in.
formed, about Sc. 600 were secured or
subscription last season tor the Inn.
provement of the Willamette. 1t is
possible that if a portion of this money
could be used III placing the snagboat
in a condition not only to help itself
rendering it capable of moving up Oh
down the river without the aid O.
another boat, but increasing its useful
ness generally, and the balance appro
priated to putting in wing-dams where
needed, more good would result thar
in any other way. A small amount o
money, comparatively, we are assured
| placed in proper hands where it woulG
be honestly and intelligently expended
during the coming season, will secure
the much wished for resllt-rendel
the Willamette river to this point al
least navigable during the entire year

To STOCK RAIsERs. - The noted
thoroughbred Deyonshire bull. Victor
Second, is now owned by the Messrs.
FL. B. and T. B. ,Sprenger, and can
be seen at their farm, two miles north
of Shedd Station, during the season.
This is said Co be one of the purest
blooded animals ever brought to the
State, and on the two occasions when
exhibited at the State Fair took the
first premium. It costs no more to
raise good stock than It does to raise
interior; but the difference in price
between the thoroughbred and CONF
mon stock is at once appreciated either
by the party selling or the one purchas-
ing the thoroughbred article. Beliey-
ing it to be to the best interests of
stock raisers to get the best, we refer
them to Messrs. Sprenger. See ad.

after The statement of Col. Farr APP
peared, it will be noticed that the
abuse of the former was dropped,
and that all the force of Democratic
scuirilty was turned against the
veracity of Farr. The act itself
was not defended, but was evaded
by browbeatiug the accusers. it
was however generally admitted
that should single soldier come
forward and by an affidavit sustain
the accusation, its truth would be
beyond a doubt Such we have
already he'd, and there ought not to
be shadow Of doubt in the minds
of thinking men, that VIM. K. lay

REFORM COUNTY CONVENTION.

EDITOR TRlDUNE-The Reform (l)
Democratic Convention for Iowa
county met at the Court House Oh
Thursday last for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for County
Supt. of Schools. The convention
was called to order by g. L. Frost,
Esq, whereupon Senator McFar-
land was elected chairman, and
Messrs. Crawford, Of the National
Democrat, and Harry, of Highland,
were elected secretaries. After a
brief discussion as to whether the
delegates from the city of Mineral
Point were entitled to vote on the
nomination for Co. Supt, in which
it was decided by vote that they
were not, the convention proceeded
to take an informal ballot, in which
Mr.. Watkins, of the National DEM
ocrot, received a majority of all the
votes cast. A formal ballot was
then taken with like results, conse-
quentIy Mr.. Watkins was declared
the nominee of this convention for
County Supt. of Schools Mr..
Watkins thanked the convention for
the nomination, and very naturally
did not forget to ask the delegates
to labor for his election, at which
DR.. YAH did not seem much
pleased.
The convention having adjourned,
the delegates from the Northern
Assembly District immediately or
ganized, and proceeded to nominate
an Assemblyman. Mr.. Ansley Grey
received the nomination by ma
jority of few votes Mr.. Gray is
doubtless a young man of fair ahll-
tiles, but his youth and inexper-
fence, coupled with tAe fact that he
has been a resident OF this district
but a short time. makes the nomi-
nation. in our opinion, n very in
discreet one. Even some of his
democi attic brethren admit that if
the Republicans nominate a good,
substantial man. his chances for
election will be few

AN old Reformer, in writing a
letter to the MI. Sentinel, gives six
reasons why he cannot vote for
Taylor. With some Of them our
readers are already familiar. Three
of them are as follows:
2. A common rumor prevailed in
Madison, based on tho publication
of certain facts in the Chicago pa
pers, which is generally believed by
the Observation-Disclosures Gov. Tay-
lor's special friends or not-that
Gov. Taylor did not sign the Cen
trail Railroad certificates until $1,000
had been paid to his soa-ia-la,c, or
or ut least to the paper which he
controls. If this be really so-and
it has not been denied, though the
charges are some two months old,
and generally believed, how much
better is it than Bashford's corrup-
ton bond transaction.
4. have it on good authority that
Taylor refused to fulfil promise to
appoint a gentleman as Supt. of Pub
lie Property, because he refused to
DIVIDE HIS SALARY WITH THE GOV
ERNOR.
My God, this beats the charges Of
mercenary conduct brought against
Grant
5. l have it on authority, which l
dare not question, that Gov. Taylor,
while a member of the county
board. offered $40 to another men,
Der for his vote on certain bridge
resolution, in which Taylcr was in
terested. l understand the Repub-
licans have the proof of this in the
Governors own handwriting with
the signature omitted) and will prove
the facts and the handwriting by
credible witnesses. The old maxim
that he who will offer a bribe will
receive one, is as good to-day as
ever.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1875-10-07

The delegates from the Southern
Assembly District did not nominate
an Assemblyman. Why, we cannot
say, unless they concluded that it
would be useless to bring out can
didate, because of the absolute GER
tAinty of defeat. We feel assured
Of this, that if the Republican con-
vention nominate good men, and
the electors Of the county do their
duty at the polls, that Iowa county
will roll up a handsome Republican
majority in November next. ~

aEroax NOMINATIONS.

Despite the encomiums with which
the Madison Democrat, in an arti-
Gle doubtful authenticity, has seen
fit to acknowledge the ability OF
Ansley Gray for Member of Assem-
bly,, we can but see in that nomina-
the brightest for a Republican
victory. That Mr.. Gray is a young
man OF more than ordinary ability
we admit, but his age must neces-
sarily render his life void of expe-
rience in managing the interests OF
the people; his acquaintance in the
district is not sufficient to render
him conversant with those measures
that need to be pushed forward in
the legislature, and the short time
he has had in which to grapple
with the world must needs render
him limited in his knowledge of
men; yet these are the very quail
fications that an assemblyman needs,
and must have to be o success, and
to be Of advantage to the people.
A man Of experience and Of stand
ing in the district is what the peo-
pie want, and such only need be
nominated to be elected. The peo-
pie in the northern district are not
fond enough Of experiments to
trust their most sacred interests in
the hands OF novice, though he
may be ever so well versed in the
pages of Kent or Blackstone.
Everywhere the superior value of
legislators, middle aged at least,
and of experience, has been recog-
nized, and it is not probable that
the Republicans in that district will
fail in electing such one if pomi-
mated in opposition to the present
candidate.
Mr.. Watkins has filed the posi-
ton of County Superintendent for
nearly one year, during which time
his tidlity to the position, and his
ability to fiji it, it is true have not
been questioned yet there are
men in the Republican party of
equal qualifications, who have long
been practical teachers, an expe-
rience which in the minds of think
ing men will recommend them far
beyond one of no more experience
than the present incumbent. TO
secure an election the Republicans
must nominate strong man, and
strength for such a position will be
found in a thorough education, a
practical knowledge, and an interest
in the education of the people. A
Republican of such qualifications
need have but little fear of being
defeated. The success, therefore,
in the election lies in the wisdom
with which the convention chooses
its candidate.
