The la CENTER HORROR.

-
Y The following particulars of the above
terrible affair, of which brief mention is
made in another place, is from the Oregonian
of the 18th inst:
About twenty children were in the school
house, most of them eating their noon
lunch. Four children of John w. Bartlett
were seated together near the stove, when a
huge tree came crushing down, demolishing
the building. The tree fell directly over
the Bartlett children. Two-a boy aged
nine and a girl aged eleven years-were in
stantly killed. Nearly every bone in the
body of the boy was crushed. The Oldest
child, Miss Ruth, aged sixteen, had several
ribs broken, and suffered severe internal
injuries. Her recovery is doubtful She
lay fastened under the tree for nearly two
hours before she could be extricated. The
fourth child, a boy aged thirteen, received a
cut across the forehead, and his scalp was
torn off from an inch above his eyes to the
crown of his head. Notwithstanding his
severe injuries he is not thought to be in a
dangerous condition.
Two children of Joseph Gathens were
severely injured, as was also son of Frank
Briggs. The remainder of the children, as
well as the teacher, Mrs. Loper, escaped
with slight bruises.
A tree fell across the house of Mr.. Ennis,
damaging it to the extent of SlO0. The
damage to barns and outbuildines in the inn
mediate neighborhood of La Center is
about So, 600.

"THE NEGRO. Some anonymous wri-
ter in the Blade, last week, under the non,
de plume of 81, raises fearful howl about
the niger, and intimates that the Demo-
cratic party is in imminent peril, and that,
in few generations, g the negro race will
become the dominant race of this country. .
This frightful .sscare" may be the result of
indigestion, added to the fact that a few
score of colored people have found their
way into Indiana. The logic" of this
writer is amusing, and his figures are as
founding. If two or three colored families
should happen to immigrate to Oregon and
settle near ~ the coroner would doubtless
be called upon, at an eaIly day, to hold a
"crowner's quest /" on said H." Oh it
would be awful, to be gobbled up by the

THE YAouInA Boom.

1t is really encouraging to note the
unanimlty Of the press of the Will
lamette valley upon the Importance
of the Improvement of Yaquina bay,
the natural outlet for Central and
Eastern Oregon. The Dallas Item
izer, Geo. E. Good, editor, publishes
Hon. r. A. Bensell's recent letter Oh
this suhjet, and adds the following
pertinent and well-timed remarks,
which sustain our views, heretofore
frequently expressed in the columns
of the GAZETTE, relative to the out
let of Eastern Oregon. We COM
mend them to the careful perusal of
our readers
The construction the West Side Railroad,
now nearing completion to Corvallis, with
out government aid, and the proposed line
from Astoria, passing through the Mimic or
Mount Jefferson pass, now mooted to be
built, if at ALL without subsidy, will doubt
less stimulate the capitalists, of whom Col.
Hogg is the representative, to utilize their
now unremunerative way across the Cas-
cades The fiourishing town of Prineville
is built in part on the company's land. Soon
Wasco county will again be divided and
Prineville as county seat will, instead of, as
at present, dividing the trade of the vast area
around it with The Dalles, monopolize the
fast increasing traffic of its natural tributa-
ries. From Prineville d desert stretches
ninety miles south to Silver Lake-a desert,
only for the want of water. in summer, an
oasis in winter, when the thousands of cat
tie gather, even from the California line, to
feed on the abundance of fine bunch grass,
the snow their substitute for water.
The trade of Prineville, situated on the
verge of this desert, equals, perhaps ex-
ceeds, that of any town in Polk county, all
now hauled on wagons from The Dalles. If
connected with the Yaquina Bay by railroad
it would soon rival that of the upper Co.
lumbia town. More feasible than the PEN
gra route and far more profitable if owned
by Colonel Hogg's company, the enhance
ment of the value of their vast road grant
paying for the road, while their capital
without railroad is an improbable invest
ment, the toll on the wagon road, as we are
Informed, scarce paying for collecting and
and repairs. The Soda Springs, Fish Lake,
the vast bodies of timber and the trade of
Eastern Oregon are incentives, as we be-
lieve, to insure the construction of the short
and surely profitable line from Yaquina to
Prineville, to diverge thence upon easy
grades to some point on the Central Pa

SPEC OF WAR.

The signs of open war between the
Lane-Glover and Thayer-Bush wings
of the Democrtic party, in this State,
are becoming more apparent every
day. Growers election to the u. S.
Senate was a bitter pill for the
Thayer-Bush ring; bu., as an offset,
they gained control of the State pat
ronage, and now the war is between
the sins and the OUTS" which is
growing exceedingly interesting as
the time for conventions approaches.
The removal of the Mercury from
Salem to Portland is significant
move ON the Democratic checker
board. In this connection, the fol-
lowing communication, dated Hills
boro, Oregon, Jan. 6, and signed
"old Times,' which appeared in the
Issue of that paper announcing its
removal, is more than "political
straw" We quote as follows.
@* The Democrats In this
neighborhood are beginning to believe that
the Mercury is the only Democratic paper
left in the State. They feel that they have
been sold out by all the other papers, espe-
cially the Standard, to the Thayer-Bush
ring, and the, talk is getting very strong
about dropping, all the others and taking the
Mercury. Your course il exposing the tricks

that the State of Oregon viii com

to Hon. G. Schurz, Secretary of the
Interior, Mr.. Walker, says: SIN the
formation of Districts reference has
been had solely to the exigencies of
enumeration due to the geographical
features of States, and to existing
conditions of settlement, occupation
and intercommunication. It results,
as was to be expected, that districts
vary generally in population and in
territorial extent"

HORRIBLE ATRocaTY. The Oregonian of
Wednesday gives the startling intelligence
that Jacob Swanger, an aged bachelor living
some seven miles from Hillsboro, Washing
ton County, Oregon, has been murdered.
From all appearances the deed must have
been committed Thursday night. He was
found ON Friday morning, with an arm sew
cred from the body and his head crushed to
jelly. From the tracks in the snow there
were two persons engaged in the horrid af-
fair. Money, no doubt, was the motive as
it was generally believed that MIR. Swanger
had money in his house.

THE COMING Contest.


Already the political cauldron,
from Name to Oregon, begins to
seethe and bubble, and the various
parties are casting about for their
standard bearers in 1880. Some OF
the papers of this State are putting
forth the names of probable candi
dates for important offices, and, ere
long, states will be made up. Within
the next two months political wire
pullers and party managers will lay
the plans of the campaign for the
coming political conflict. And right
now is the time for the people, the
voters, the rank and file of all parties,
to be up and doing.
In military affairs, the best drilled
and disciplined troops are the most
effective in battle No general, how
ever skilled or brave, would dare to
enter into an important, decisive en-
gagement, without first fully under
standing the ground upon which the
battle was to be fought, the strength
and position OF the enemy, and thor
ough discipline and understanding
among his own officers and men. In
short, the organization of the army
must be thorough and complete. The
same is true in politics, and no party
can hope for success, without proper
organization. Under our form OF
government, at least two great par.
ties are actually necessary for the
protection of public interests. In
Benton the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties are very evenly balanc-
ed, the success Of either depending
very much upon the qualifications
and character of the various candi-
dates. Bearing this fact in mind, the
responsibility of selecting honest,
capable, efficient officers, rests direct
ly with the people, and they should
begin to move in the matter of selec-
tion of candidates for the various
Offices before "party states" are made
up. For instance, if the Republicans,
of any precinct, desire to have a
voice in the county and State con
ventions, their work should commence
at home, and in the primary meetings.
Don't wait for any formal call, but
get together, advise, consult, and
talk the matter up, as neighbors, and
then when the proper time comes,
you are ready to act, without the aid
or interposition of political dema
gogues and wire-pullers-which are
to be found in all parties.
What the Republicans of Benton
county, and the entire State, want, is
thorough organization and united
effort. Let all past party conflicts
and differences be buried, let "by-
cones be by-gones," and let every
true Republican, without regard to
his past political action, resolve to
stand firm and square to his party in
the next contest, and the result is not
prob1ematical. To secure success in
the first place see to it that the very
best, and ablest men, are put forward
for Office, and then go to work for
their election. In this way, the peo-
pie, the "bone and sinew" of the
party, can dictate who shall fill the
Offices, and political tricksters will
be forced to take-a back seat. What
say you, Republicans of Benton
county, will you try it this year2
