rapidly passing away, and many carry to

may seem trivial within themselves, but

just appreciation of the benignly influence
of woman for the good of man, thus greatly
assisting in removing the asperities of from
tier life, they were cordially invited to be-
come members of the Association.
The Re-Unions have been source of great
profit to all who have arrived in Oregon of
late years, as well as of pleasure to those
who are eligible to become members. To
the former class. it affords an opportunity
to see many of the old men and women who
have become more or less noted as pioneers,
and listen to their accounts of incidents,
both grave and gay of days long gone by, as
they are related around the camp fire, To
listen to the addresses replete with valu-
able historical facts which cannot be obtain
ed in any other way. To see the men who
rocked the cradle of Oregon in It's infancy of
of Provisional Government, guided III sturdy
youth as a Territory, and looked with pa
rental pride when it was fully developed
and admitted as State of the union. To
members, it brings them face to face with
those whom they most probably have not
met for years, and affords an opportunity to
talk over old times; to refresh the memory
of those departed, and ascertain the welfare
of the living; it affords an opportunity for
social gathering which is beneficial to ALL
Such being the case, it is sincerely hoped
that all pioneers and their friends will make
an extra effort to attend on Oregon's Day,
the 10Th of June next.
That day was chosen for several reasons;
but the greatest is for that mentioned above,
the final settlement of the Oregon question:
another, it is the most pleasant time of the
year, when there is really more leisure than
at any other time, it being between seed
time and harvest. And certainly we can
afford one day from the toll of life from
the farm and workshop, from counting
house and factory. We, as people, do not
have sufficient number of holidays-but
too much toll
Arrangements have been made with the
different transportation companies, that all
who attend, to pay full fare in going, but

tary.. j. HENRY Brown,

FOR STATE SENATOR.

Last Saturday the Republican county Gen.
trail committee met at the court house for
the purpose of nominating candidate for
state senator in the place of Hon. John Bur-
nett, resigned, and was called to order by
Hon. A. NJ Witbam, chairman, and w. P.
Ready chosen secretary, all the precincts
being represented but four. On motion,
Hon. Elias Woodward was declared the
choice of the committee for state senator by
reclamation.
A more fortunate choice, for the party,
could not have been made nor for the coun-
ty, for Mr.. Woodward will be elected by a
handsome majority in June. Mr.. Wood
ward is too well known in Benton county te
need any extended notice from our pen. He
came to this county in 1865 and has ever
since been resident in June 1866 he was
elected superintendent of common schools
in this county, and held that office continu-
ously until July, 1872, having positively re
fused to be candidate for the Office any
longer he was the first teacher of Philo.
math college, teaching there one year under
its first organization, and resigned the posi-.
tion for one in this city in the fall of 1868
in 1869 he and Mr.. Emery Allen formed
business partnership of Allen & Woodward,
which has been continued in this city until
the present. We cannot forbear again men,
tioning Mr.. Woodwards connections with
the public schools of this county; he has
ever held that an educated people were a
prosperous people, and to that end has been
an untiring worker in the interest of the
public schools of this city as director for
for the last ten years. giving his time freely
for the good of the rising generation, and to
his efforts much of the success of our city
schools is due. The irreproachable private
character of Mr.. w. is fact of which the
voters will by no means lose sight of at the
coming election, and it makes us enthusiastic
to have the privilege of supporting so wor-
thy candidate for this important office.

TREAD CAREFULLY.

The Blade of last week, referring to the
nomination of Hon. M. C.. George for con-
gress, said she was nominated in the inter-
ests of Portland capital. Now the facts
are the delegation from Multnomah voted
for Rufus Mallory Mr.. George did not re-
ceive a single vote from that county. We
do not consider the statement made by the
Blade of any particular consequence or sig
nifcance, except this, if the influence of
Portland is damaging in its effect, what is to
become of Hon. John Whiteaker, for it is
well known the Multnomah county Demo-
cratic delegation were INSTRUCTED for him.
In this connection it might not be improper
to call attention to the position of the par
ties, as indicated in their platforms. The
Republicans resolve in favor of appropria-
tlons for Yaquina Bay and other points along
the coast. while the Democrats are silent on
the subject. Every member of the legisla-
ture of lS76-7S will remember Mr.. George
as an earnest advocate and friend of any bill
supported by the Willamette Valley men,
bers.

The cry is still they come! Farmers will
read with interest the following letter:
MAMMOTH WAREHotJSE

]
CoRvLLIs, May 6, 1880.
DEAR SIR Having made definite ar
rangements for the construction of new
Mammoth" warehouse at the Railroad De-
pot in Corvallis for storing grain, / take
pleasure in calling the attention of the farm
ing community to the following facts rela-
tive to the advantages in storing grain on
the railroad:
lst. You can ship your grain at any time
you desire, and can ship about two months
earlier than you can on the river, thereby
taking advantage of an early market
End. 1t frequently occurs that the first
market is the best, and would therefore
state that ships arriving in the early part of
the season cannot afford to pay demurrage,
and be detained for the arrival of wheat
stored upon the river but will have to de-
pend upon the railroads for their cargoes in
order to get quick dispatch, and thereby
frequently offering more for wheat than
they would otherwise do, which is an ad-
vantage to the producer.
3rd. will be preparedat all times to
buy your wheat as soon as it is delivered at
the warehouse in Corvallis, which no other
| warehouseman has ever done and can afford
| to pay the highest market price, as I shall
be able to ship at any time, while ware
housemen upon the river can not ship until
navigation opens, which may be months af-
ter the delivery of your wheat, and you
would in consequence be liable to sustain a
| decline in the market as well as the loss of
interest on your money.
4th. 1t matters not whether there is COM
petition on the river, bind myself at all
times to pay the highest market price, and
guarantee that no man who desires to sell
his grain will leave the Mammoth" ware
house and " say that RED WELLS wouldn't
buy his grain," for want of orders from
either Millers or exporters.
Farmers, having had some experience in
disposing of, and marketing your grain, /
leave the matter with you whether am still
competent to market your grain to the best
advantage, and would respectfully ask that
when you get ready to hanl your grain to
market. you do not forget Red" Wells
mrmmoth warehous, ON the railroad.
Yours truly, wv. A. Wells.

FIRST GUN FOR yAoAlnA BAY

The promise to recommend $50.000 for
the improvement of Yaquina bar, by the
committee on commerce, is an evidence that
the friends of this important measure have
been heard, and in presenting the facts have
made favorable impression. On receipt of
the above news the people of this usually
quiet city were excited, and everybody felt
good and realized that an important point
had been gained. We feel confident our
members are in earnest and thoroughly un-
derstand the great need of this improve
ment. We sincerely hope the amount will
stand as recommended, for any less sum
would be insufficient. The steamer A. A.
McCully brought up the engine Corvallis, ;"
together with about IS tons of iron and the
trucks for cars, last Wednesday. This
means business, and the people of Benton
county can and do rejoice.

Judge McFadden last Friday, charged with
insanity. Drs. Farra and Cauthorn were
called and the elder was adjudged insane

We are informed that Mr.. J. M. Patterson

meeting with his son, and the voyage from

OREGON PIONEER ASSOCIATION.
RECORDING SEcRETARY's OFFICE,

Salem, April IL, 1880.
Mr.. EDITOR The eighth Annual Re- Un-
ion of the Oregon Pioneer Association, will
be held this year at the city of Portland,
June Is, 1880; it being the thirty fourth
anniversary of the signing of the treaty set
tling the boundary between the two great
powers, the United States and Great Brit
ain. And, as that act relieved the Ameri-
can settlers of Oregon of the uncertainties
that had for so long time been source of
great uneasiness in regard to their status,
whether they would be compelled to live
under an English flag, or have the pleasure
of residing where the stars and stripes that
they loved so well should be the emblem of
their native republican government. But
the signing of the treaty on June Is, 1916,
by the ministers of the two high contracting
powers, settling forever that Oregon should
be portion of the United States, was
hailed with joy by the citizens of Oregon,
who had staked their all and braved every
danger in trayersing the plains and crossing
the rugged moun3Hins or sailed through dist
ant oceans, to introduce civilization and
make homes on the shores of the great Pa
cifc, and lay the foundation of the sun
down state of the Union.
A few years ago it became manifest to a
number of Pioneers, that it would be of
great benefit to the people of Oregon, and
especially to the historian, to organize an
association with one of its objects as set
forth In their constitution, to collect from
living witnesses, such facts relating to the
Pioneers and history Of the Territory of Or
egon as the Association may deem worthy
of preservation, and to promote social inter
course among its members. " This lautlable
object is beng carried out in spirit as well
as to the letter, and even now, at this early
dav Of the Association's existence great
