The disappearance of the Atalanta
has given rise to a suggestion in the
Pal Mall Gazette that every seagoing
vessel should be compelled to carry at
least ono of the So-called ''sea- -meSsen-
gers" The sea-messcHger is a cask
made in various sizes OF copper, in
compartments: and, according to its
size, letters, dispatches, ships logs,
jewclry, and other valuablcs can be
inserted in it. The cask can be quick
ly hermetically sealed 50 that no wa
ter can get in, and may then be thrown
overheard with the assurance that it
will remain af1oat for a very long
time.
The Toxic Times says the education
of japanese girls in American schools
is not viewed with favor in Japan, and
the practice of sending young ladies
to this country for this purpose is not
likely to become a settled custom.
The reason is that OH returning to
Japan the girls find their education
and acquired tastes utterly antagonis-
tic TO the social customs to which, of
necessity. they must conform. Japan
is practically a new and strange coun-
try to them, and its sex restrictions
and humiliations revolving. The con-
vcntlOnal laws can not be set aside
and they are forced to become Japan

KINGS VALLEY souIes.

EDITOR GAZETTE: The people here are
well pleased with the nomination Of Mr.
Woodward for State Senator. The commit
tee did wise thing in putting Mr.. Wood
ward on the ticket. He will receive the
hearty support of every Republican in this
precinct.
This cold wet weather is giving the farm
ers the blues. Visions of rust are continu-
ally fitting before their mental vision.
The narrow gauge road is now all the talk
here. Over six thousand dollars of the
subsidy has been subscribed. Every body
comes down lively, young men, old men,
girls and mothers all take lively interest
in this matter. One young man was lit
tie obstinate, said he would not give cent.
his girl interviewed him, he came down to
the tune of one hundred bushels of wheat;
they will be married in month. Two
other young gentlemen were paying their
addresses to the same lady, one subscribed
two hundred bushels of oats, the other gave
one hundred and fifty bushels of wheat,
but was too slow, oats had already won
so the interest grows. We will have rail-
road from Portland to Kings valley sure by
the first of October, 81, and most probable
to Yaquina Bay.
l believe every time there is an election,
Corvallis has some little enterprise on hand,
such as building City Hall, or buying
Fire Engine. Kings valley expects every
candidate for office from Corvallis precinct
to subscribe for this railroad. So Messrs.
King, johnson, Wilson, Burnett, Wood
ward. and all the rest of you fellows help
us now, or we will return to you the same
compliment your Fire Department did to
some of our candidates two years ago.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescription
of DR.. A. Boschee, celebrated German
Physician, and is acknowledged to be one of
1t quickly cures Coughs, Colds and all Lung
troubles of the severerest nature, removing,
as it does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in a strong and healthy
condition. It is not an experimental medi-
cine, but has stood the test of years, giving
satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms. Two
million bottles sold annually. Beware of
medicines of similar names, lately intro
ducsd. Boschee's German Syrup was intro
duced in the United States in 1868. and is
now sold in every town and village in the
civilized world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price IS cents. Sam
ple bottle, 10 cents.

"HoNEsr JOHN" WHi1EAkER.

A statement is made by prominent DEM
ocrat to this effect: Honest John" Whit
eaker, who was an ardent supporter of the
clock and Dam" bill, that robbed the Ore
gon School Fund of $500, 900, Immediately
after the adjournment of the Legislature
was in possession of ten shares in the Lock
Company's stock that he acknowledged
the possession of the stock that these ten
shares were represented for him by proxy at
the meetings of the Company. and that sub
sequently he sold three Of them for So, 900
in cash. Gen. Lane was so well satisfied of
the truth of the charge that he refused to
vote in the Democratic Convention for
Whiteaker, and has stated within the past
few days to the editor of the Roseburg
Independent ''that prominent Democrats
and men of responsibility had informed him,
that it was within their power to prove that
John Whiteaker, while member of the
Oregon Legislature, had accepted bribe,
amounting in the end to $1,000" The citi-
zens of Oregon do not intend to be repre-
sented in Congress by a bribe-taker when
they know it, and Mr.. Whiteaker will be
compelled to come before the people of Ore
gon and refute the charge, or he will meet
with an overwhelming defeat in June Come

HON. w. B. CARTER.

Ed. GAZETTE: Permit me to occupy a
space in your excellent paper. No one in
Oregon heard of the death of Hon. w. B.
did. Others may utter more howery lam
guage concerning his life and virtues than
can, but none feels more than do, in this
sad bereavement. Perhaps my knowledge
of Bro. Carter reaches back farther than
most persons in this state. knew his fa-
theirs family on Spring creek, in Sangamon
county; Illinois, where William was born.
They were from London county, Va, and
were of the old school of plain, God-fearing
Methodists. His mother was one of the
best women I ever knew on earth. William
was raised in the way he should 60, fearing
God and acting justly towards all persons.
A godly example was always set before him,
and in early life he embraced the christian
religion and lived it. He served an appren-
ticeship at the printing business, in Spring
field, with Walters & Webber, state print
ers. In the temperance reform he was with
us. He was a model young man, and was
pointed at as one worthy to be initiated by
Others.
In 1852 was travelling on French Prairie,
in Marion county, and met in the road
strange young man, whom recognized at
once to be none other than my beloved
friend, W. B. Carter From that time un-
til his death we have been on the most init
mate terms.
We have labored together in everything
to promote the best interests of the people
of Oregon. The cause of temperance, the
Yaquina railroad and bar, agriculture, solic-
iting immigration to this state, we have Ia
bored for with one accord together. When
ever was at Corvallis my first place to WIS.,
it was at the GAZETTE office, where l was
treated as brother by him. He has been
pillar of strength to the temperance peo-
pie, and to the Church in Oregon. Well
may it be said that a great man has fallen
in our midst. Little did think that 1
should live to write this notice of his death.
He has left noble record on earth. May
we, his friends, follow his example. While
I write tears flow down my furrowed cheek,
for the early death of one so beloved, SO
worthy to be honored. shall soon join
him in that bright world where there will
be no more sorrow, no more death and be-
reavements: In that City, not made with
hands. eternal in the heavens, we shall meet
our brother who has gone before us. He
shall die no more. In the bosom of his God
he rests from earth's tolls and sorrows. His

baffet the ills and tolls of life. They have
the sympathies of the people Of Oregon.
His sun has set IN halo of glory.
And heard voice from heaven saving
unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord from henceforth Yea, saith
the spirit, that they may rest from their Ia
bors and their works do follow them"
