Hon. E. B. WATsoN.-Judge Watson
gave us pleasant call on Tuesday. He ap-
pears to have been pleased with his visit to
Corvallis, and especially with prosperous
condition he found Corvallis Agricultural
College in. During the forenoon he visited
all the departments of the College heard
recitations in mental arithmetic in the pri-
mary department and expressed great salts.
faction at the proficiency and readiness shown
by the pupils Judge Watson appears to
be a man of middle age, was graduate OF
Forest Grove College, and was admitted to
practice law in 1869, by the Supreme Court
of Oregon. Has since practiced law mainly
in Douglas, Coos, jackson, Josephine and
Lake counties. Has served one term as
County Judge in jackson county and one as
County Clerk i'll that county. He is greatly
esteemed for his straight forward promptness
and honesty, and the people of jackson
county have shown their appreciation of his
worth by electing him without regard to
party politics. As candidate for the Su.
preme Court, he will poll large vote in
that part of the State, as well as throughout
the State.

HON. R. A. RENSELL,

The above named gentleman, as our read
ers know, has been nominated by the Re.
publicans as joint Senator from Polk and
Benton counties. From his general repu-
tatlon throughout the State and his services
as Legislator, we are justified in saying
that no better nomination could have been
made. Mr. Bensell is known as an active,
energetic man, who has perhaps devoted
more time and labor in furthering the inter-
ests of the people of Polk and Benton coun-
ties than any other man in the State. He
is everywhere known for his energy and his
public spirit. As public servant he was
always at his post of duty. As matter of
fact it may be well to note that while here
in the discharge of his duties as Legislator
for Benton county he voted upon every
measure presented and never missed a roll
call. This argues for him conscientious
desire to discharge his whole duty to his
constituents and proves that he was never
afraid to show his hand upon any question
at issue. He has honesty and energy and
and capacity, and with these nothing
is lacking to make him an efficient Leg
islator. His most strenuous efforts have
been directed towards securing improve
ments about Yaquina Bay, which if obtain
ed would rebound to the immense advan-
tage of not only Polk and Benton counties,
but of the whole Willamette valley. His
election is not a mere matter of local impor-
tance. We are all interested in the improve
ments named, and looking upon him as one
who has been a special champion of this
work and who in all his relations to the pub
Ii, has ever been an active and efficient
worker, we hope and expect to see him
elected by rousing majority.

MEDICAL FEES.

DR. Shrader, editor Of the Medical
Record, says with truths "There is
no deabting the fact that the longer
bills are allowed TO run, The larger
they are apt to become and the more
anwillingly are they paid. II is d
bad fashion which sanctions the pres.
ent action Of accounts not eftener
than every elk months. The well-to,
do practitioner ,does 40, and bis inn
peeunious brother Ia compelled TO do
likewise. Some how or other 1t IL
considered undigni6ed fsr the physi.
eian TO be In any seeming hurry to
present his account. II must conse
quently be more genteel for him to
owe his butcher and baker, than ask
money Of those who owe hlm There
il false modesty in this that is ridi
culous to the business man. The only
one who suffers by it, in the long
run, is the Doctor himself No man
who has been in practice need be
told that money should never be re
fused, when it is offered, and yet he
is, by the halfyearly and yearly sys
TEN of sending out bills, practically
encouraging the patient in becoming
a delinquent debtor. The best time
TO present the bill is when the services
ale terminated, and if the patient is
unable to pay at that time, it is bet.
ter that he should think the delay il
due to his carelessness rather than to
the want of ordinary business tact
in his medical attendant"
We wish to call the attention OF
the public to the above extract from
the American Practitioner, as one
containing a great many good prac.
tical ideas, in which both the medical
profession and the public are inter
ested. When farmer sells load OF
wood, or hay or anything else, it a
business man, he tells the purchaser
what it is worth, and the buyer. if he
do not pay him Immediately, knows
just how much he is owing the farm
er. With the names changed the
same statement can be applied to
men in any other business. Whynot
alloso the Physician the same business
privileges granted to others !? In con-
sideration of this fact We, the under
signed practitioners, have concluded
to present statement of the amount
due us for our services, in any given
case, Immediately upon the expira-
ton of such services. We know
that our patrons will appreciate the
Justice of this, and not consider our
" statements" in the ordinary sense
of g duns." Ii able to pay them a,
the tine, very well, if not, you will
know how much your bill is when
you come to settle. Respectfully.

The Blade has deemed it proper
to give Hon. Robt. Glow compli.
mentary notice and refers to his leg
islative record. The Blade is always
unfortunate in its efforts to assist
friends, and we call attention to

thorize the State of Oregon to ac.
quire possession of the Canal and
Locks at Willamette falls by lease.
and to purchase the same and make
appropriation therefor" This Bill
against the passage of which every
county in the Willamette valley
petitioned in 1876, Hon. r. Glow
voted for, first. last and all the time;
was he representing his constituents,
or few monopolisfs? The history
OF that Bill is too well known 10 re-
qnire special explanation now. The
Blade also refers to some measure
tabled through bad management on
the part of Mr.. BenselI. Just give

you again attempt. to mislead the

EDITOR GAZETTE: Living right
in the heart OF one Of the greatest
aud best agricultural districts, I think
talk TO those who have 20 many
faults to find with all aud every thing
that is connected with farming, viii
find space IN your columns.
So many OF our city people call
farming a low, slavish liie. So far
as that Is concerned, any business,
cl,sely followed, 10 slavish enough.
Others say, II is not genteel. In
deed Washington was farmer,
and yet everybody looked upon him
as being nothing else. than a gentle.
man. Nobody ia forced 10 associate
with the low, coarse and unrefined,
no more in the country than in cities.
The idea of farming not being gen.
teel! Farmers are at the very top,
the cream OF society. Another fault
of theirs is, that there are too many
farmers already. II SO, it would
seem that there are too many build
ers, carpenters, mechanics, clerks.
ETC., as well, for all these people are
complaining that their business is as
bad or even worse than the farmers
declare theirs TO be. 1t can hardly
be the case that there are too many
people in the United States already.
it don't seem so when we look at the
population Of Europe. Germany. for
instance, not much larger than Cali
fornia contains as many inhabitants
as the whole United States. In one
respect these fault finders may have
right, that is that farming was not
paying well in every case. But
then, there never was more mistak-
en- notion entertained by mortal men,
than that farming can be carried on
profitablY and successfully with no
knowledge on the farmers part be-
yond the routine Of ordinary meth
ods in it's various departments.
knowledge is the great want of some
OF our farmers; and some knowledge
is the key to unlock the wealth that
resides in the soil. Many of our
farmers would do better by reading
Horace Greeley's What know
about farming instead of making
fun of it.

ful, and machinery is being constant.

Who ever heard of horse power or

why a farmers life should be more
desirable than other callings, they

While the tired merchants income
stops with his days work, and the

the farmer can 60 to bed and sleep

that all the rest of mankind depend

Gentlemen of the Common Council of the
city of Corvallis In pursuance of the re-
quirements of our city charter, herewith
submit to you retort Of the financial con-
dition of the city and make such sugges-
tions, as in my judgment is for the best in
terest of the city.

city to SLIP 81.
(For particular refe you to the Reports
of the Recorder, Marshal and Treasurer.)
As governments in cities are instituted to
promote health and prosperity and to pro-
tect property, this end. would recommend
to have the alleys well cleaned and gravel
ed wherever it is necessary to have the
streets graved and otherwise improved /;
and in all cases such improvements of streets
aud alleys should be done at the expense of
the owners of adjacent property, and should
also be done at the proper season, and to
provide for such drainage, as the means of
the city will permit.
The Fire Department should be kept in
its full efficiency. Our cisterns should be
kept in good repair--and provide for new
ones, as the finance of the city permits. ]
would further recommend to take steps, to
have our charter amended by the next legis-
lature so that we may collect our road tax
within our city limits.
The sidewalks M well as the crossings
will require your special attention.
In conclusion, permit me to say to the old
Council, that thank you for your courtesy
and assistance that you have shown me
while was presiding over your deli oeration.
To the new Council, will say, may you be
equal to the trust reposed in you by your
constituents may the all wise Providence
