WATCH LINCOLN COUNTY.

The men of Lincoln comfy do not sit
down and suck their thumbs; they jump
to their feet and meet new conditions
with courage. For several years hel
principal industry has been that of the
manufacture and sale of town lots. Stop
page of work ON the eastern extension oi
the Oregon Pacific has practically killed
the business. Lack of capital, attendant
upon the hard times, has caused work on
their rich coal mines to be abandoned
temporarily at least. These were hard
blows, but the men of Lincoln have
found their county possesses other re
sources of wealth, and already announce
that good times are coming.
We prophesy boom for Lincoln coun
ty. She is going into the dairy business
and creamery is to be located at Toledo
We will see her numerous quarries pour
ing their output into cities, to be used il
the construction of massive stone build
ings, her farms supplying the market
with numerous commodities, and tn,
wheels of many industries r,erri1y singing
the song of prosperity. She is to max.
creditable display of her resources a
the coming holiday exposition which viii
bring her to the favorable notice of thos,
residing in the Northwest. We say
watch Lincoln county grow.

o. Hodges, the proprietor of the no.
torious Palace saloon, had an alteration
with deputy collector of internal revenue
Wednesday evening over license matter.
Hodges later aocosted the collector in the
Occidental hotel, aud called him q vile
name, being promptly knocked down for
his abuse. During the succeeding scufie,
the officers revolver fell to the floor.
Hodges had the deputy collector arrested in
the oity court, where he was fined $40 for
assault and battery, upon pleading guilty.
Hodges had him arrested in Justice Hol.
gates court for assault with a dangerous
weapon. and in Justice Wilson's court,
charged with carrying concealed weapon.
He was released on nominal bonds to ap.
pear for trial December Sd. Reputable
witnesses say the officer punished Hodges
only with his hands and was properly jus.
titled. The saloon keeper is a big bully,
twice the size of the man who thrashed
him and sought revenge for getting ''done
up." Tho Palace saloon continues to earn
for itself the name of 'City Disgrace"

LENIENCY A FARCE.

It a very nice thing-for the prisoner
when staring seven years penal servitude
IN the face, to repent; promise to lead
better life and ask the court for leniency.
In the case of Saunders, who was SELL
fenced last week to eighteen months in
the penitentiary on a charge of grand
larcency, there were no extenuating cir
eumstances. He has been guilty of
similar offenses; came from family of
thieves; had already served term at Sa-
lem: was menace to the community in
which he lived, and his hardened coun-
tenance was an evidence of his criminal
practices. Repentance, under such cir
eumstances, and promises of reforma-
ton, are daily occurrences, and so long
as courts listen to such twaddle, and al
low it to work upon their sympathies, just
30 long will the evil continue Criminals
of the Saunders type should be shown
no 1eniency; they should understand
first, last and all the time that once in
the clutches of the law they will receive
the punishment so richly deserved.
Another instance where this evil has
been noticed by residents of Benton
county, is the case of Frank Peck, now
a fugitive from justice for stealing a
team and buggy from an Albany livery
man. A few years ago, he hired team
from Mr.. Eglin, of this city, and failed
to return it. Officers pursued him, but
: he e1uded capture by hiding in the woods
of Lane county. He was finally taken
into custody by the Eugene sheriff, and
sent up on charge of embezzlement,
preferred by the Singer Sewing Machine
Company. On being liberated, he was
next heard of from Coos county, where
he was serving a sentence in the county
were thrown open, Peck was greeted by
Sheriff Osburn with warrant for his ar
rest. On being arraigned before the cir
cult court of Benton county for stealing
the Eglin team, he pleaded guilty, PROM
ised to reform, and asked the judge for
1eniency in passing sentence. He was
given only year. Seven and one-half
months later he came back to Corvallis,
and the next heard of the culprit he is at
his old tricks, and is now being pursued
by Linn county officials for stealing a
team from 1iveryman of Albany.
Such instances as these should be
borne in mind, when passing sentence
upon hardened criminals. Criminal
courts exist for the protection of society
and punishment of offenders; not for the
protection of criminals. After convic-
ton the second time, leniency should
seldom, if ever, be shown to the prisoner
. at the bar. 1t is farce. The longer
such individuals as Saunders and Peck
are securely confined, the longer society
will be safe from their depredations.

FISHING.

Respectfully dedicated to Miss Leon LOUSY
Two youths went out distinguishing ali the
day.
When the sun was waning, nothing caught had
they.
Still they tried their cunning-still they threw
the fly.
What was there a-wanting? Hand, or hook, or
eye?
Two maidens stood a-watching the fishers for
awhile;
Watched their futile efforts. watched them with
smile.
Glanced such glances on them from each BEAM
ing eye,
The youths forgot their hshing-forgot, alas, to
try.
Such glances caught them fairly, by hook or eye,
for when
AIaidens go a-fshing, they're sure to catch the
men.
The youths gave up their fishing saying none
with them cam vie,
For woman's far too clever, both with the hook
and eye.

THE board of regents of the Agricul-

THE board of regents of the Agricul-
taral College allowed golden opportu-
nifty to pass when it failed to create a
position for Professor E. B. McE1roy,
whose term of Office as state superinten-
dent Is soon to expire. The University
people at Eugene saw the opportunity
and promptly took advantage of it. His
ripe experience, wide acquaintance, ,schol-
arly attainments, and powerful influence
bring to an institution of learning COM
bination of attaiuments that are advan-
tageous to both pupil and school and are
seldom found to exsist to such marked
degree as in Mr.. McElroy. The Univer.
sity of Oregon Is to be congratulated on
having its chair of English literature
filled by professor so well fitted for
the position, and Mr.. McElroy's many
friends in Corvallis will join with the
GAZETTE in wishing him unbounded
success III his new field of labor

FROM Eugene to Portland the distance
is 123 miles. The Southern Pacific Co. s
tariff on grain, -four and millstuffs from
Eugene to Portland in car lots, is ten
cents per hundred. The distance from
Eugene to Albany is 43 miles, and the
tariff between these points on same class
ifcation of freight is nine cents per hun
dred. In other words, the first 43 miles
of haul costs nine cents per hundred and
the next SO miles costs Que cent. This
unjust discrimination against shippers
via the Oregon Pacific is fair sample of
the benefcent supervision of our indis.
peusable railroad commission.

IN LEAGUE WITH TAMMANY.

The action of Senator Do1ph last win
ter regarding supreme court appoint
ments, is we'll worth the serious atten
ton of the citizens, whatever his party
affiliations may be. 1t is a reasonable
presumption that the president, in send
ing to the senate for confirmation the
names of men selected by him to fill so
important position as associate justice
of the supreme court, had carefully con-
sidered the eligibility of the candidates.
When no proof against the learning,
ability and integrity of the nominees
was had, members of the senate who
voted adversely, subjected themselves to
severe criticism. 1t was not party is
sue. The question of politics did not
enter into the proceedings at all. Both
president and senate were democratic
and there was no possibility of securing
the confirmation of a republican.
On one side we find the New York
Bar Association passing resolutions eulo-
CYSTIC of the learning, experience and
integrity of the candidates; and, upon
the other, a notorious machine politician,
an unsuccessful leader of hostile fac
ton in the Chicago convention and the
sworn enemy of the president Sup
porters of Peckham and Hornb1ower
were lawyers of the highest standing OF
both parties; their enemies such fellows
as 'Dave" Hill, ed" Murphy and J.
N. Dolph. The former demanded in
their candidates honor, ability, learning
and an unsullied record; the latter, de-
votion to a machine, the head and front
of which was "Boss" Croker, of Tam
many Hall. The citizens of New York,
firmly held by the throat by Croker,
were accustomed to seeing good and
true men 'turned down." but they, in
turn, in a momentary fit Of manhood,
turned down. a certain Judge May
nard, to the surprise, disgust and amaze.
ment of the aforesaid Croker. III re-
taliation, ''Dave" Hill and "Ed" Muir
ply, loyal SONS of Tammany, abetted by
Dolph, turned down" MIR. Hornblower,
who was prominent in the indictment
of the aforesaid Maynard.
This may be politics, but does it not
strike the citizen whose safety is only Sc
cured by the wise and honest Interpretation
of the law, that here was more politics
than is healthy for the republic? Such
proceedings disgust the patriotic citizen
and fill him with well-founded reasons
for alarm. If the wheels of government
can be blocked by spiteful and ven
ouous leaders of local factions, it is
about time that the people turned
down" the "leaders'' and the factions u
Such actions are causing our-senate to
become, instead of the most dignifed,
the most ridiculous body ever foisted
upon people. To return Dolph IS coll
elusive evidence that the people of Ore
gon commend aud countenance such
disgraceful and altogether unpatriotie
performances.

Hon. M. J. Allphin sent US down last
week from his farm on Little Elk, a sam.
plo of sugar beet of the new Japanese va.
riety. This beet weighs IS pounds and
Mr.. Allphin's letter states that it contains
fully 900 per cent. of pure granulated su-
gar. We will keep the beet on exhibition
for few days, when it will be forwarded
to Germany for analysis. Mr.. Allphin had
about so acres of these beets this year.
and will put the whole farm in next year.

coin county, his friends were of the opin.

beet containing 900 per cent pure granula-
ted sugar would indicate that he has not
yet severed his connection with the Sazarac
club.

In an ancient decision, Judge Treby
said: "People should not be discouraged
that put their trust in the law; for if men
could not have remedy at law for such
ISLANDERS, they would be apt to carve it
for themselves, which would let in all the
i'll consequences of private revenge" :"
Holms, in his Commercial Law, says:
"If people would crafty the passion of
revenge outside of the law, if the law
did not help them, the law has no choice
but to satisfy the craving itself, and thus
avoid the greater evil of private retribu-
ton" The above is respectfully referred
to Pardoner Pennoyer for careful consid-
Grafton. Perhaps he didn't see this be-
fore pardoning Mason and Watson.

EACH year is noticed growing tend
ency for residents of the rural districts
to move into town for the purpose Of
sending their children to school. AS a
rule these children are enumerated, and
draw public money in the districts in
which they reside, and pay no tuition in
the district where they attend. This is
wrong Taxpayers of one district ought
not to be burdened in this way by resi-
dents of another. The law should be SC
amended, that no matter where child
is enumerated, the district where it at
tends should have the benefit of its pei
capita in the apportionment of school
funds.

TO MY PoRT-LAURRATE.

Write me rhynes-your rhymes don't rhyme
They suit me not, my rapturous worshiper.
Nor yet compare my hair to ravens wing;
The raven is most disgusting bird,
And feeds on offal.
Sing, if you must, in soft moon-shine,
In dark-brown voice that doth alright the COW,
Thy weak-backed songs whose sentiments doth
show
Thou oft hast boozed or else dost need dose of
Carters little pills.
But write no more for public eye;
know too much-you see Pm nicely OIL
And am not flattered with abject praise
Dished up in awful verse.

THE senatorial boom for Govern

THE senatorial boom for Govern
or-elect Lord is growing every
day. With the people, whose wishes
should not be ignored, he is the most
popular candidate by far. The selection
of any other man, especially Mr.. Dolph,
will not be approved by those whose votes
elected the legislators, and by 50 doing
reposed in them the duty of choosing an
United States senator. The public want
some one possessed of more liberal views
on the silver question. The aristocratic
single standard gold-bug ideas of the
senior Oregon senator are altogether too
radical to suit his constituency, and they
are clammering loudly and justly for his
defeat before the coming session of the
legislature.

SONG.

(Respectful1y dedicated to my kind friend.
Mrs. J. B. Lee.
No moreno more for me shall be,
When but one song could please mine ear,
When but one voice was sweet to me,
One only tone found echo there.
Lifes change has swept that joy away
And crushed the hope it could not kill.
Such roses never all decay
Yet, ah, mourn as DER the dead;
I,ifes joys are faded, and LIES hopes are fled.
No moreno more it cannot be;
Now every smile appears the same;
Alike each voice seems now to me,
And, oh, almost alike each name.
Deep in the stiffness of my heart,
Which throbs more with hope or fear,
mourn not feelings which depart;
The charm of sadness fingers there.
Or only mourn them as the dead,
Lifes joys are faded and lifes hopes are
dead.
