During the presidential campaign Of
last year on every hand was heard of
the large and o, irfowing sums OF
money locked up in the National treas
ury. Mr.. Hendricks in several Of his
speeches demanded change in the
way Of a democratic administration, in
order that the money might he dis
tributed among the people and thus 80
forth into the many channels Of trade
and into the pockets of the poor and
needy people. During the last month
of Sec McCulloch's time he did not
make Il call for bonds, in order that ii
strong treasury might be left for the
Cleveland administration. And now
it is said that Manning ''does not feel
that there is money enough on hand to
Justify Il call for bonds Thus we find
that Democrats were mistaken in their
loud harangues about the surplus in
the treasury and Hendricks is convict
ed of denagoguery and falsifying be-
cause he knew better than to suppose
his assertions were true. The people
who were thus deceived by Hendricks
shameful fllsehoods will do well to
know and remember that the Demo
cratic administration has not changed
in any way the Republican financial
policy, except to make it more conser-
vative, and to clock up still mole
money in the treasury.

OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1885-05-15


Since Mr. B. T. Irvine resigned his
position with the o. & G. r. r. COM
pany Mr.. Koehler the receiver of the
company has sent one w. L. Jester,
to take charge of their business at tie
office and depot here, and great joker
he is, in fact with the business men of
this place. When MI: Irvine WAS in
charge of the company's business he
was always accommodating and oblig-
ing and under his management the
people and business men who patron
lied the road were able to get their
freight promptly and on the day
when it came but the new joker
who has taken his place refuses to al
low freight to depart from the depot or
be unloaded from the cars the same
day on which it arrives, hence freight
which arrives at Corvallis on the
trains in the afternoon, the business
men are compelled by the stupidity and
disobliging management Of this joker TO
wait until the next day some time i'll
the forenoon before they can get it.
This has never been the casa before at
this depot, and never did we hear Of
such delay and lack of business activi-
ty at any other of the depots ON either
the east or west side roads, and why
should it be done here now. There is
not Il particle of reason for it, because
almost every day the drays and trucks
before the advent of this joker, have
been able to load and deliver the
freiehts to the owners the same day
that it arrives. Only last Saturday
Mr.. Curier was in town, who lives
some eight miles from here, and was
expecting some freight On the train
that day, which came at the expected
time but ON account of Mr. koehler's
Joker, he was unable to geJ the freight
that afternoon and hence he was COM
PEELED to go home without it. By the
the time Mr.. Koehlor employs ii few
more jokers to delay business and
abuse tEeir authority, his Rail Rod

STATE BOARD OF IMMIGRATION

S4A> - oSi3so S6 4ukul1U1sA 11ON.
We learn that the above named
Board at one Of their recent meetings
held at Portland, Oregon unanimous
~ adopted the following .to-wit:
"ReSolSsa, That in the opinion Of the
board of immigration commissioners
the sending of immigration agents to
Portland to represent by personal work
their respective counties is an unneces-
sary expense, is ill-advised, contrary to
the letter and spirit of the circulars is
sued by the commissioners under date
of April 9Th, has tendency to create
iiscord among the counties and their
representatives; has already been fruit
tul of these results, and is detrimental
to the best interests of the state in this
direction; whereas the appointment OF
TN agent to reside at OF near the coun-
ty seat, to whom the state board can
confidently direct immigrants for in
formation and loca tion in such county
would be of greater utility and pro
ductive Of better and desired results"
For some time past We have heard
from different sources that the great
state board # immi grafton Lacked by
the great state of Oregon whose ex-
penses are paid by the peoples purse,
have been sending immigrants seeking
h0r,nc 70 4hn e, l. r
the railroad sin different directions thus
giving to the railroads us much of the
immigrants hard money besides send
ing them to the poorest parts Of the
sttate. We do not propose to voucl
for the truth Of it but from some cause
of the zoe and upwards who are daily
arriving in the state hardly any of
them reach the valley counties, the
garden spot of this coast until after
they have travelled all over the out
skirts, by-ways and outposts Of the
whole state, after the immigrant has
thus been duped most of them 5urn
their steps to the place from whence
they came and thus they fail to see the
best and most desirable parts of Ore
gon. Judging from the resolution
above the state board don't intend to
let any Of the immigrants 60 to the
the valley counties if they can help it.
To be sure there would be confusion
when the state board was endeavoring
to send immigrants out to some noun
famous brush heap while at the same
time the agents from some beautiful
and fertile valley county was trying to
get them to 60 to decent and desira-
bic place. Discord would be 10 name
for it, but it would be great benefit
to immigrants if the county agent
could thus prevent them from being
duped and might be the means of as
sisting them to comfortable and desira-
bic homes. While on the other hand
by the time the state board got
through marching them over the noun
tains, canyons and brush heaps ofsome
corner of the state the poor
immigrant would very naturally be-
come disgusted with all humanity and
the state board of inmigra-
ton, and would naturally start for
come better place where state boards
with axes to grind could not be found.

Mr.. S. v. Burnett who resides a
few miles above town on the Calcasieu
river, brought some as fine peesns to
our Office few days ago as we have
ever seen. He estimates his crop at
seven sacks, has sold four at the rate
of $500 per sack, which will give
him a total of about $4,000 the crop
of two trees. What better legacy
could a man leave his children than
an orchard of pecan trees. An acre
set at proper distance, say 40 feet
each way will support about 40 trees
and at no greater yield than that
realized by Mr.. B. $4,000 per tree you
have the handsome sum of $4,000
per acre. While our timber culture
act requires that certain other trees
shall be planted in sufficient numbers
to secure title to the public lands,
still enough pecan trees migit be in
terspersed so as to lay the foundation
for a future competency aud at the
same time secure titles TO valuable
lands. Try it settlers and be con-

Will We Go.

As the Exposition is now open
and everything in readiness for Wis
itors, the next thing in order is, how
are we to get there! Well, of course,
we will go by rail, life is too short to
go any other way. But the question
is, how much is it going to cost usi
THIS can be answered only by the
railroad managers.
In the interest of large part Of
our population who cannot attend the
Exposition unless rates are low, and
will thus be denied the benefit and
pleasure of visiting the grandest show
of the world, we speak, hoping that
the railroads will realize IT to be not
only their duty, as public carriers, to
Americas Exposition, but mutually
beneficial to give us during the next
few months, excursions at such rates
that all may attend.

1t is an i'll wind that blows no.
body good. While our rice farmers,
who had not finished gathering their
crops, were bewailing the heavy rains
last week, the log-man was in his glory.
The heavy rains above have advanced
the running season at least one month,
and as a consequence the timber will
come out of the creeks in much finer
condition than usual. 1t is estimated
that the gain to the log-man will reach
rs per cent. while the mill-lnen will
also be benefited.

Our Parish Treasurer tells us,
that the State Auditor says Calcasieu
school lands are bringing in more mon
ey than those Of any other parish IN
the State. Our last sale, on the 9th
uIt., of 50 lots--a considerable part Of
which were prairie and marsh lands
brought the handsome sum Of $2774.-
~, at an expense Of about $s67.se
for holding elections, advertising, sell
ing, etc. This is not as good showing
as we have made, but when the loca-
ton Of these particular sections is
considered, it speaks volumes for Cal
easieu.
