The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1885-12-11

During the last few weeks some oi
our citizens have been working among
the people of Corvallis and advocating
the propriety of the citizens Of Corvallis
to subscribe and pay sufficient money
Or property with which to buy depot
grounds for the Yaquina railroad at
Corvallis. No doubt our citizens
would be glad to give in this matter.
a it seems to be Il kind of universal
custom for people to supply depot
grounds for railroads, but under the
peculiar financial strain of the last two
years, few of our citizens are able to
give much for any purpose at this time,
no matter how willing they might be
to aid in this matter. The people, and
business men especially, during the last
two years have carried such outstanding
Indebtedness, which has to a great ex-
tent embarrassed them, and in many
instances it has had the effect to en-
barrass their credit, but as general
thing they have borne it with patience
and forbearance, which is not common,
and in view of all of these facts it
might not be amiss to suggest that if
the railroad company should wait be-
fore providing for their depot grounds
and other improvements in and about
Corvallis, until the company shall pay
up all it's Oregon Indebtedness, that
then the people of Corvallis and Ben
ton county would, no doubt, feel them
selves in a condition to contribute
to the purchase Of the necessary
grounds. The only reason that will
prevent the people under their present
condition from subscribing the neces-
sary funds is certainly lack of ability,
for while people have to some extent
become restless under burdens which
they were carrying, such restlessness
was done because parties felt them
selves unable to carry the load, and not
because our citizens felt any unfriendly
disposition toward the enterprise. The
people and citizens of Benton county
feel as warm and friendly to the en-
terprise as they ever did, and would
no doubt do anything within their
ability 20 aid the enterprise. We GER

Gen. John A. Logan declines with
thanks the honor of the election to the
vice presidency, says an exchange. AS
a matter of taste his action is unques-
toned. Having failed of an election
to that positi on in the regular way he
scorns to accept it at the hands of ac-
cident. There is, furthermore, no
doubt that he can serve his party and
country better without being handicap
ped by position which is great only
in its possibilities.

Says the n. Y. Ii76une: The cham
Der of commerce has passed a resolu-
tion declaring that the government
ought to do something to encourage the
building Of American ships. The reso-
luton is good one and ought to have
some effect, but it is sad fact that
the administration does not care at all
about Indefinite declarations of this
kind. 1t INDUCES in 'glittering gen
eralities itself about reform and other
important matters, and does not mean
anything, and it naturally supposes
that the generalities of other bodies Or
societies are equally meaningless with
it's own. Yet this chamber of COM
merce might make an impression upon
this democratic administration if it
would indulge in ID little emphatic
denunciatio of the postmaster-gener-
ais present effort to damage our ship
ping and merchantile interests. What
is more, it would stop Mr.. Villas as
sertion that the foreign mail service of
this country is better than ever before. :"

Delegate Voorhees,, of Washington
Territory, is indignant at Senator
Dolph for preparing a bill for the ad-
mission of Washington Territory, and
to that extent interfering with his
work, but in addition to that he claims
that he desires the enabling act for
the admission of Washington territory
to- direct that the constitution shall
contain anti-monopoly provisions. He
says that Dolph favors admission with
out these provisions.

its way into publicity, to the ef-

New England has been engaged in

Col T. Egenton Hogg, the untiring
worker in behalf of the Yaquina rail
road and the improvements connected
Herewith, arrived in Corvallis some
days ago, and is remaining few days
to view the situation and improve
ments which have been constructed
since his visit here before. The Col
and his brother William have spent
fifteen years of hard and unceasing
labor to build this railroad and to de-
velop Central Oregon. If Eastern
capitalists who had engaged to furnish
money to put the road through had
been as vigilant in coming to the front
with the coin, as these gentlemen have
been industrious in promoting the good
work, few if any people would have
cause to complain of lack of financial
assistance from this source. When the
road is completed so as to form an
eastern connection it will be one of the
grandest and best improvements on
the coast. During Col. Hogg's stay
here the eastern management of the
business is in the hands of Mr.. n. S.
Bently, who has long been an associate
and a valuable co-worker with Col.
Hogg in this long and toilsome work.
To these gentlemen and their associates
and their untiring work is due fol the
appropri atoms which have been passed
through congress to improve the har-
Dor at the Yaquina bay for the last
few years thereby making valuable
harbor where large sea going vessels
may enter and build up a competition
in carrying the produce and freights of
the country. When the iron horse
shall start at Yaquina bay and glide
over the Coast range to Corvallis,
across the valley and over the Cascade
Mountains and over the plains Of east
ern Oregon to connection with an
eastern bound road, then the people of
Benton County and all over Oregon
will realize something of the ideas
which have involved the careful atten-
tion'for years of the builders of this
enterprise. No doubt during all this
time embarrassments have beset the
people as well as managers and pro-
jectors of this vast improvement, which
at times seemed almost impossible to
curry the difficulties, but so far as de-
veloped things have gradually righted
themselves, ami no doubt time will
right all these things and tie road at
some future day will be completed, SO
that the fondest hopes shall lie realized

A Washington dispatch of the 9th
inst, says: An effort is being made
to secure place on the committee on
commerce for Congressman Herman, of
Oregon. 1t is the wish of members
from the Pacific coast to have one of
their number on that committee, and
opinion inclines in favor of Herman;
but there is a delay in making up the
committee, on account of the proposed
change in the rules. If some of the
committee are abolished, as proposed
from some quarters, or if the work of
some of the committee is increased,
these changes will have to he made
before the speaker can intelligently
make up the committee. Senator
Dolph has been carefully canvassing
the prospects OF securing large appro-
priation for the Improvement of the
mouth of the Columbia river He
states that the outlook is very favor
able. The engineers have reported
that the present plan Of improving the
mouth of the Columbia has been sue
cessful so far, and in this report and
from the general feeling in the senate
Dolph believes that an adequate sum
will be appropriated for either COM
pfeting or carrying on large part of
the work.

tainly hope and again suggest that be-
fore the railroad company decide upon
anything permanent about their depot
grounds and improvements at Corvallis
chat they wait until our people are re-
im6ursed, otherwise it would be giving
our people no show whatever.

HUNTERS In THE ROCKIES.
a Trio OF HOOsiers Have a Contest
With Three Tame Bears.

w. s. Wyman, R. C. Mcmahon and
Chas. s. Wright, of Indiana, on their
return from the Rocky Mountains recent
~, being asked as to their experience,
told very interesting story. While in
Fairy Pass. just ten miles from Bull
Dog summit, they encountered three full
grown cinnamon bears. 1t was in the
evening and they were nine miles from
camp. When they first saw the mus
cular beasts they were about twenty
rods distant, and were carrying game to
their den. The men thought it good
opportunity to kill some heavy game, and
taking aim fired, each one selecting a
bear. One shot took effect in the side OF
the smallest bear, but the other two
sportsmen shot wild and missed their
marks. The small animal rolled over in
anguish, paved the dirt, and, with mad
grin, charged on the hunters Each man
aimed at the approaching bear, and fir
ing, sent it Keeling back never to rise
again. The two massive bears now came
to the rescue of their companion and
stopped to caress the bleeding body The
gentlemen from Hoosierdom decided that
it was about time to get out of the way
and started for the camp. But they were
not to 60 in peace. The mourning animals
followed them until they reached small
hut on the side of the mountain where
lived hermit The men stopped at the
hut to find that the bears belonged to the
proprietor of the hut, who caught them
when they were cubs and had tanned and
trained them. He was very much grieved
at the death OF the youngest bear, as it had
been his favorite and pet They paid him
very handsomely for the lost, pet, but
could not leave the premises until the en-
ragged brutes which had followed them
had been securely chained. This was
their most exciting and novel exper once
while in the mountains, and they talked
as though they were greatly relieved at
being safely homeward embellishments

THE LASH FOR INCARCERATION,
Whito Regulators Purifying the
Morals OF Fairfield County.s G..

CHARLESTON, S. c., September IA
full account is published OF the recent
doings of bands Of white regulators in
Fairfield county, showing that their mo-
tive is determination to abolish misce
genation. Last July the regulators, COM
posed Of the best young men Of the
county, visited farm near Ridgeway,
where live white family named Boyles,
one of the daughters living openly with
negro man. Two of the others kept dis
reputable house for negroes. The regu-
lators whipped Boyles, his wife and two
daughters, and warned them to leave the
county in ten days. Boyles begged to be
allowed to harvest his crop, and on ac-
count OF poverty he was given leave to do
so, but, in the meantime, the original
order being disobeyed, the regulators
gave the family another whipping. Next
the regulators visited parties between
Ridgeway and Winnesboro and whipped
them badly. Lloyd Davis, who has
negro mistress, was next visited. He got
away. His household furniture was
badly broken up and his colored family
hdilcO W qulI' 4OIl DdflS, TIE IlCIleSt
merchant in Ridgeway, reported worth
$4,000, was given ten days notice to
quit, because he had a negro mistress
and family. He left his business in the
hands of his clerks and put out for Mis-
sissippi. Ross Williams, living on the
other side Of Ridgeway with negro
woman, was visited and showed fight,
but was severely whipped, as was his
mistress, and ordered to leave About
ten families, all mixed, have felt the
power of the regulators so far. The ei-
cuse the regulators give is that the grand
jury does not take cognizance of those
living in open adultery, because it is SO
hard to prove the existence of such
fact The people could not be reached by
law and so it was determined to reach
them outside of the law The chief Of
tenders, whether warned or not, are dis
solving their establishments and leaving,
and fear of exposure and punishment
prevails. The regulators disguise them
selves while visiting by covering their
faces with cloths. No weapons but hick-
DRY switches have been used.
