Already the grass in places on
slopes and embankments is beginning
to turn brown under the hot sun, and
the cry comes that more rain Is needed
1t seems hardly possible to believe
when looking at the rank vendure OF
fields and gardens about town that any
more rain is needed for while.

TIE WooLEN MILL.-In our last weeks
issue we mentioned the fact that an eastern
party would locate a woolen mill in this city
provided a subsidy ofS5,5 500 could be raised
by our citizens. During this week Mr. VIM.
B. Humbert, the party in question, was in
the city inter viewing some of our business
men concerning the project. He is now in
Tacoma having gone there to see his family.
1t is to be hoped that the plan will meet
with the proper encouragement, as it is not
at all likely that q more liberal proposition
will ever be made, and the advantages Of
having the mill are apparent to all.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.
CORVALLIS WILL SURPASS ALL PRE-
vIOUS EFFoRys.-THE PROGRAM.

The anniversary of the birth of our
nation. is rapidly drawing near and ere
the GAZETTE again appears it will
have become a thing of the past.
This day for which Juvenile America
has been saving his pennies a
persistence and selfdenlal which is
worthy of success-that he may invest
them in explosive enthusiasm and pa
triotism will soon he matter of his
tory. On next Monday we will cele
blate the 1l6th anniversary of the
signing Of that immortal document,
the declaration of independence,
which gave to the world new nation
| which, although dubbed at its first
tormation "The Great Experiment,
has far surpassed the widest dreams
of its. most sanguine founders, and
dem lstrated that although an exper-
iment, k-sstands to day as the strongest
and most stabls government in exls-
tence and the model for all the rest of
In the midst of all these festivities do
not let the mind become so morbid as
to lose sight of the re,l objects of the
celebration. Let thought be given
to the manner i'll which this glorious
country was secured to Us by our he
roic ancestors, the suferlngs which
they underwent through eight long
terrible years of warfare, and let our
thoughts be chastened by such rehec
tions, when nothing remains of the
heroes Of Valley Forge except the re-
membrance Of their bravery and fortl-
tude in suffering.
The citizens of Corvallis propose to
make the celebration here one long to
be remembered and extend a cordial
invitation to the citizens of Benton
and the neighboring counties to come
and join them in the celebration.
We present the programme as far as it
has been prepared, 1t is proposed to
make feature Of the horseback rid
ing by ladies and gentlemen, for
which prizes will awarded and we urge
all our horsemen and horsewomen to
take advantage of the opportunity.
Following is the programme:
Salute at sunrise of l3 guns.

form at the city hall in the following
order:

JOHNSON.-In this city, June 25th, 1892,
Mrs. j. d. johnson, aged 42 years, 10
months and 2S days.
She had been in failing health for some
months, and had tried change of climate,
as we'll as all the remedies known to our
physicians. She grew gradually worse, and
last Saturday, at 1890, passed quietly
away in the arms of her faithful husband.
Mrs johnson was one of our most loved,
!! and best known citizens. She was born in
Ohio, July 27, lS49. She crossed the
plains, in 1864, with her parents, and set
tied in Corvallis in 1865. She was devout
and consistent member of the Episcopal
church, having been confirmed by Bishop
Lee, of Iowa. In the year 1871 she was
married, and has lived in Corvallis during
her whole married life. Her three sons, as
we'll as her husband, are left to mourn
their loss. The beautiful service of the
Episcopal church was used at her funeral
marian, by Rev. George F. Plummer, the
rector. The Increment was at Crystal
Lake cemetery. A large number of SORROW
ing friends followed her to the grave, and
stood in mourrful silence around her last
resting place while the service was read and
the casket covered with earth and flowers.
A loving, pure spirit has gone to her hea-
venly reward. None knew her but to love
her; none named her but to praise. She
was devoted wife, a kind, thoughtful
m other a oonstant fr,ena and hmm hJa chr
tian. To her aged father and mother, as
we'll as to her more immediate family, We
tender our heartfelt sympathy.

which became law last congress. The

der the contra ct system, by means of
which work can be undertaken with the
amount appropriated for the year COW
ere d by the bill, and contracts entered
into for the completion of the work and
of its continuance without serious in
terruption, as hae sometimes happened

tirely dependent on the river and har-
Dor appropriations of each congress.

eating $32, ,151 900. OF this amount the
Mississippi river gets SIG 600, 900; the

of the connecting waters between the

under the contract system the bill pro-
vides that the secretary of war may
enter into contracts to complete the
present projects, the improvements to
be paid for as appropriations may be
made, the aggregate cost not to exceed
the cost heretofore named as the limit
of the cost of the completion of the i'm
provement. For these projects there
is directly appropriated in the bill sew
eral amounts. The Columbia, at the
Cascades, gets $435, 900.

tions from the interior department, one
as to the Cherokee ownership of the

safety OF rooms in the patent Office, en-
dangered by the storage of heavy papers.
Over hall an hour was occupied in the
presentation of memorials, most of them
from state oranges, on a great variety OF
subjects.
Among the bills introduced and re-
ferred was one by PETER granting Ser
geant Harter, First Indiana cavalry
$4,000 and gold medal for his services
in 'saving Pope's army and the nations

ers from original settlers, and the
amendment was agreed to-

HE WAS A Smoothly.
w. ]. Kyle's Recent Exploits ir
Yuma.

A couple of weeks ago, says the Yuma
Sentinel, w. J. Kyle, who represented
himself as one of the owners of the
Los Angeles Evening Express, visited
Yuma and in due time complained of
being little short of funds. He then
drew his draft on the Express for $50
and asked Lewis A. Hicks, who gener-
ously cashed it for him. Heneeded more
money later in the day and wrote out
another paper for $50, for which Louis
Esselburn handed him cash.
The drafts were forwarded to Los An
geles and the express company refused
to pay them, giving as reason that
Kyle had no authority to draw on that
institution.
The confidence game played by Kyle
would have been successful, but for the
fact that about one month ago he was in
Yuma az the accredited represen tative
OF the Express, collecting money and re.
ceiving subscriptions ior that paper.
Naturally. the people with whom he
came in contact on his "last and la
mented" visit here, supposed him to be
still in the employ of the Express, and
on the strength of his supposed part
ownership and acting as representative
Of that paper he got away with the
money.
Mr.. Kyle has not yet been arrested;
when he is caught, he will be convicted
and he is sure to be severely punished

WASHINGTON, March 21.-It is likely
that radical reform in the matter OF the
privileges afforded members in extend
ing their speeches in the record, will
result from the investigation into the
transgressions of Mr.. Walker of Massa-
chusetts. Ever since the session opened
there has been warm political rivalry
between Republican and Democratic
representatives from the Bay state, and
Walker has had several lively
bouts with Hoar and Williams.
whom he takes pleasure in des-
ignating alternately as "Mugwumps'
and kindergarten Democrats" His
interjection into the printed report OF
his speech of some headlines about
"Hot Shot for Mugwumps," etc., caused
Mr., Williams to rise to a question OF
personal privilege last week, and the
committee on printing today submitted
q report on the matter, accompanied by
a resolution declaring that the house
express disapproval of the unparlia.
mentary language used by Walker in
that portion OF his speech printed,
though not delivered on the floor, and
that the whole of the undelivered por-
tion OF the speech be eXpunged from
the record. The report will be consid-
cred tomorrow.
EnlOe of Tennessee offered resOlu-
tion calling on the secretary of the treas
ury for a list OF all persons employed in
the coast aud geodetic survey whose SAL
aries were increased or decreased during
1890. Also for list of those dismissed
or who resigned during that year. En-
loe said he had information from a dis
charged employee that the coast survey
us in the hands of a ring. The resou-
tion was adopted.
The committee on printing reported
in favor of expunging from the congress
Bional record of the 17th all that por-
tion of the speech of Walker Of Massa-
chusetts which refers to Mugwumps,
ETC., but which was not delivered.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the army appropriation
bill.
A long discussion took place during
the consideration OF the army appro-
priation bill over point of order raised
by Grain of Texas against the provso
in the bill that hereafter no money ap.
propriated for army transportation be
used in the payment of transportation
over non-aided lines, owned, controlled
or operated by the Union Pacific COM
pany or by the Southern Pacific over
the lines embraced in it's Pacific system.
The chair sustained the point on
the ground that the proviso made
permanent law. It was then amended
to be made applicable only to the pres
ent bill. This was agreed to and the
committee having risen, the bill was
passed.
The house went into committee of the
whole on the free wool bill. Goodnight
OF Kentucky assailed the protective sys-
tenn in a speech of some length.
Snodgrass of Tennessee consumed his
time in opposing the bill donating
$5 1000, 900 to the worlds fair.
The committee then arose and the
house adjourned.
