C. H. Pearce returned Monday from a
four weeks hunt about the forks of the Siletz
river. He promises an intensely interest
ing account Of the trip, and description of
the country of which but little is known.
During his stay he claims to have killed an
immense elk. Many of Charley's friends are
inclined to doubt this statement. and believe
that instead of!an elk, he slew some ranch
er's favorite mich COW.
H. s. Loomis, superintendent of circula-
tion on the Morning Oregonian, was in town
yestesday. Mr.. Loomis is an enthu-
siast on the subject of poultry raising. and
has gone into the business on quite an ex-
tensive scale. At the coming poultry show
to be held at Portland in November, he ex-
poets to make an exhibit of twenty birds
raised by him this season. They are of the
Buff Cochin stock, and raised from prize
birds.
Suit was recently brought in Justice viii.
| sons court against guest of the Occidental
hotel to compel the payment of $l.90, due
| for board. The unwary proprietor had al
lowed the debtor to remove his baggage to
Wells. Fargo & Co.'S office, from whence it
was to be shipped to Albany. Hearing of
this, and believing he was to be victimized,
Landlord Schmidt speedily swore out a
complaint and'ordered the goods attached.
The papers were given to the high sheriff
and just as Lenger was about to leave the
Office for the o. p train. that official duly at
tached the effects of the would. be absconder
and caused them to be retained in the ex.
press office. A few days later the fellow
came to town, paid his bill and $6.25 in
costs. By the experinece he is doubtless
much wis er. and it is safe to say will never
attempt to film fam hotel keeper again.

THE Chicago Inter-Ocean recalls the
first speech of Abraham Lincoln OH the
tariff which was certainly short and to
the point. Mr.. Lincoln said he did not
pretend to be learned in political econo-
my, but he thought that he knew enough
to know that "when an American paid
$40 for steel to an England manufacturer,
America had the steel and England had
the $40. But when he paid $40 for steel
to an American manufacturer, America
had both the steel and the $2o." Per
haps this point will be made clear to the
American people under the workings OF
the German law.

"During my service in the army con-
tracted chronic diarrhna ," says A. E. Bend
ing, of Halsey, Oregon. "Since then I have
used great amount Of medicine, but when
found any that would give me relief they
would injure my stomach, until Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was brought to my notice. I used it and
will say it is the only remedy that gave me
permanent relief and no bad results follow"

THERE are some things for which re-
publicans are truly grateful to the popu-
list party. Jones, of Neuada, has left
the ranks of the G. o. P, and it is report
ed that Teller and Wolcott, of Colorado
are to follow suit. Cameron, of Pennsy1-
vania, nurses secret longing to be the
populist presidential candidate in 1896.
Republicans are not at all anxious that
any of these gentlemen should stay upon
the order of their going, but sincerely
hope they will go at once.

WoULDit not be we'll, dairymen in Ben
ton county, to reflect upon the PROPOSE
ton of sending your product to market
from creamery i'll large quantities,
rather than sending off little butter balls
from every farm house? United action
on the part of farmers would surely bring
about such a result.
Perhaps some ofour readers would like to
know in what respect Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better than any other. We will
tell you. When this remedy is taken as
soon as cold has been contracted, and before
it has become settled in the system, it will
counteract the effect Of the cold and greatly
lessen its severity, and is the only remedy
that will do this. 1t acts in perfect harmony
with nature and aids nature in relieving the
lungs, opening the secretions, liquefying the
mucous and causing its expulsion from the
air cells of the lungs and restoring the sys-
tenn to a strong and healthy condition. No
other remedy in the market possesses these
properties. No other will cure cold SO
quickly. For sale by Graham & Wells.

MONDAY was good day for republi-
cans in Maine, and a corresponding bad
one for democrats. Governor Cleves was
reelected by a majority of over $4,000,
the largest in the history of the party in
that state Out of Isl members in the
house the democrats will have only
twelve. This insures the reelection of
Senator Fry. Thomas B. Reed has plu-
rality of 10000. H. Boutelle, Nelson
DINGHY and Seth L. Mi11ikin are also re-
elected by rnajorities ranging from 5000
to 5000. Thus, the people of Maine have
in most emphatic manner entered their
protest against the deadly blight of a
policy that would destroy the industrial
system built up in this county by the pol
icy of protection.

SALUTATORY.

Nearly thirty-one years have elapsed
since the GAZETTE stepped into the jour
nalistic arena; and during great part of
that long period its editorial chair has
been occupied, and its destinies presided
ovsr, by some of the ablest and most
widely known men of our state, the best
energies of whom have been drawn forth
and exhausted, while acting in this capac-
ity during the most promising period OF
their lives. Cognizance of these facts IN
spires us to consume every energy to
make the GAZETTE take place in the
journalistic field equal to, if not better,
than any it has ever held III the past
Our efforts are not to be spent in striving
after an unattainab1e ideal, but rather, to
make the paper the very best possible,
within the limit of our means, experience
and ability And by dint of genuine toll
and persistent effort we hope to accom-
plish much that shall reflect credit on the
paper, and further the interests, both
moral and political, of the community
whose cause we represent.
The future policy of the GAzETTE may
be succinctly, statedas follows:
In the matter of news, we hope to make
our columns spicy and readable; with
special attention to matters of interest to
the farming community.
It shall be our aim to take stand in
au.matters, that shall be compatible with
strict morality, and no dissoluteness shall
go unnoticed nor pardoned; and i'll con-
sequence, it shall be our first duty to turn
a deaf ear to all immoral doctrine, no
matter how thoroughly society may have
established it or law protectedit.
.Ggzsyegy effort shall be directed to-
ward re1nedying existing evils by eHe';t
; .-s s4saae>i. sossscc- = :
in vogue, whica morality and christianity
enjoin. ''sa--'
While it shall be our endeavor, at all
times, in matters political, to review the
methods of parties rather than those of
individuals, it needs to be fully recogniz-
ed that men are rightly to be held re-
sponsib1e for the consequences of their
own acts.
The GAzETTE will be independent; un-
predjudiced and impartial in dealing with
all current and local issues, our con-
slant aim being to uphold and support all
that affords the greatest good to the great
est number. 1t will be strictly republi-
can in the discussion of political issues;
thoroughly American in its teachings,
and intensely patriotic in its utterances.

SCHOOL, BOOKS.

CHM & Co., of Boston, school book
publishers, have man in their employ
named Tappin, who is at present making
tour of the valley towns in the interest
of his company. It is noticeable fact
that, after his departure from city, one
of the local newspapers takes up the cud-
gel for him and advocates, in most Wig
/ orous style, the necessity for change in
school books. This nan Tappan was in
Corvallis week ago last Tuesday, since
which date the Times has advocated a
change.
The principal reason urged for change
is, that the American Book Company,
which is now furnishing the state with
their publications, is trust. In a sense,
this is true. 1t is composed of some ten
concerns; which is really benefit to the
state. The law provides that the pub
fishers who furnish the books must estab-
llsh and maintain repositories at conven-
lent points in each county for the distri-
button of text books. Where a publish
ing house furnishes but one book, the
maintenance of hundred or more sup
ply depots would be very expensive, but
with the American Book Company which
furnishes all the books, this cost is reduc-
ed to a minimum, and the purchasers re-
ceive the benefit.
Following upon two years of panic and
business depression the people will not
tolerate change that will entail an ex-
penditure of two hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars, An approximate estimate of
the cost of a change in the most impor-
tatlt text books will be $2.65 per pupil
With school population of 600, it
can be readily seen that the cost to the
state will not be less than quarter of a
million dollars. Of this vast SUM $1,000
must come from the pockets of persons
residing in Benton county.
At present four different grammars are
in use, and a change of books in this one
branch is necessary to preserve uniform
ity. The cost of the series now in use is
sass, while the proposed series Of Max
wells will cost but $I.oo There may be
text books which are somewhat superior
to the ones now in use, but the funda-
mental principles of arithmetic, for in
stance, have not changed since the world
began. Five times five are twenty-five
just the same now, as then. The fault of
today, if any there be, lies not so much
i'll the text book as in the teacher. If he
can not apply the: principles laid down
in Fish's arithmetic just as readily as
those in some other publication, he is in
capable of filling position in any school
in the land He is mere machine, and
unworthy the name of teacher.
Aside from gramlnars, the parents want
no change, but will insist that the board
of education require the American Book
Company to reduce present prices from
10 to rs per cent. The GAZETTE IS
informed that it is the conpany's inten-
! ton to do this, in which event the1e can
be no possible reason offered for change
