GOOD TIMES IN STORE.

The enthusiasm and sincere
interest shown by the masses in
the late celebration of the ami
versary of our grand national
birthday, proves the fact that the
patriotism and devotion of the
citizens of this vast common
wealth have not suffered from the
hardships and privations they
have been forced to endure,
through the woeful blunders of a
lot of block heads who have
proven themselves as incapable
of administering public functions
as they are unequal to the dignity
of high places.
AS the time approaches for
another presidential election and
the return to power of that noble
old party whose name has been
the synonym of freedom, patriot
ism, purity and the proper en-
ployment of the laws in the in
terest of right and justice, thrill
of hope, a broad rainbow of con-
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1895-07-11

fdence, fills the industrial sky.
AS "eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty" so mutual confidence
between man and man is the
price of prosperity. Confidence
is the mother of success. Conf
dence in Columbus enabled him
to realize his day dreams at Ge-
noa, and discover the New World
confidence in Washington and the
general congress at Philadelphia
resulted in the establishment OF
this grand republic, at whose
birth the 1lonarchs of the Old
World stood awed, and parl1a-
ments and cabinets started IN dis
may to their feet; confidence IN
Lincoln and the constitution van
quished the hordes of secession
and preserved us Union, and
confidence in the old republican
party will save the republic from
its threatened danger; restore us
to our former high place among
the powers of the earth, and
raise the industries and commerce
of the nation out of the chaos
into which they have been
thrown. With hope at the helm
and a bright sea of activity ahead,
the next republican ad1ninistra-
ton is irnpatiently awaited.

NOTWITHSTANDING some crit
icisms that have been made, the
financial affairs of the Agricul-
tural College are in very good
shape. The report of the treas
urer shows that the funds have
generally been wisely and judi
ciously spent. Itmust be remem-
bered that the college had some
$4,000 tied up in the Job fail
ure. It has required able fnan-
ciering on the part of the board
to bring the college through in
its present excellent shape. Most
of the criticisms have been level
ed at Mr.. Wallis Nash, but they
are proved unfounded by the
reports of the officers and a study
of the conditions of the institu-
ton. Mr.. Nash has been secre-
tary of the board for seven or
eight years and on his retirement
from that office the board of
regents passed a resolution con-
graduating him upon his faithful
and able performance of duty.
It was deemed advisable to elect
a resident member as secretary,
and the board made no mistake
in its selection of w. E.. Yates.
1t is well that the public under
stand these matters and not place
too much reliance upon unfound-
ed criticisms whose circulation
more or less tends to discredit
the college.

A petition from w. Taylor was read.

COILS UNWINDING.

The Albany Democrat quotes
the GAzETTE's bit of poetry con-
cerning the sea breeze at Albany
and Corvallis, and answers 1t IN
a sensible and courteous manner.
Of course the Democrat under
stands that this paper meant to
exhibit no real unkind feeling
toward our sister town. 1t was
but playful touch called forth
by similar article in an Albany
paper. The Democrat is quite
right in saying that every city in
the Willamette valley ought to
rustic together for the future.
Our conditions, climatic and 9th
erwise, are quite alike. The
spirit of stagnation that has
wrapt us in its clammy tolls for
some time has begun to unwind
itself as hope and determination
wells up within us, and we shall
soon be breathing the air of pros
perity.
Prosperity is composed of two
Observation-Disclosures and energy.
All that the people of the Will
lamette valley need is the exer-
ton of a little will power-an
united effort in a common cause.
If our town, or our county, does
not suit an intending settler, let
us tell him that there are other
good towns and other good coun-
ties in the valley that might make
a favorable impression upon him.
1t seems inconceivable that a
newcomer could find no spot in
the valley that would please him.
Brother Nutting, you are ex-
actly right. Petty jealousies
should be ignored, and let US all
grow together. There is room
in the valley for many prosper.

WASTED SARCASM.

With beautiful diction and
wealth of argument, the Salem
Statesman pays the following
compliment to the GAZETTE:
"With an innocence as dis
tressing and ignorance as pitiable
as the arrogance of its publisher
is disgusting, the Corvallis GA
zErrE at one fell breath squelch-
es all opposition to the projected
gift by the people of Oregon of a
silver service to the warship Ore
gon by opposing the spending of
the peoples money on July 4th
in celebrating an event which
appeals less to the patriotism of
the GAZETTE man, who is a
member of the warship souvenir
committee, than does the snobo-
cratic movement contemplated.
But when he says the money for
the testimonial will not be spent
In Salem-that sufficiently ex-
plains the attitude of the Salem
papers, we are led to believe
there must be something in the
souvenir for the committee aside
from the champagne drunk that
would follow the presentation. !"
That paper ought to be named
the Diplomat as well as
STATESMAN. It would take a
Browning club to cipher out just
what it meant to say. The GA
zETTE is sorry it spoke. 1t cost
the editor FIVE solid hours work
to get up that piece of 4th of
July sarcasm with which itmeant
to annihilate few valley papers.
And now to be told we oppose
the celebration of the glorious
Fourth-well, the GAZETTE will
pour no more water on geese S
backs. The Statesman says the
GAZETTE has squelched all oppo-
sition. 1t is to be hoped so. OF
course the Statesman is not
si1enced, but, then, its opposition
is practically nil. An apology is
due from this paper to the Albany
Democrat for coupling its name
with the Statesman in former
editorial.
The editor of the Statesman
has been so long at the seat OF
the state government that he can't
imagine anything of public
nature occurring s'but that there
is something in ito for somebody,
on the quiet, and of course that
editor cannot understand that
some people may do something
out of the ordinary without get
ting drunk over it.
However, aside from such lit
tie peevish and ignorant criti-
cisms, there are no objections to
the projected enterprise. Its
originators are simply patriotic,
public-spirited citizens. The
committeeman, who act without
pay and are at their own expense
when attending meetings, have
only to devise means for raising
funds and select an appropriate
memorial which will be of use to
the crew and officers of the bat
t1eship "Oregon." The press of
the state have generally favored
this meritorious movement. The
Salem papers, for some unan-
nounced purpose, have endeav-
ored to excite an antagonistic
feeling against the enterprise.
As before stated, their voice is
but a grunt from the Salem hog.
There can be no real opposition,
as no one need contribute unless
he so desires, and those who do
not so desire cannot possibly have
any objection to other people
showing their patriotism in this
way.

That Great Mine.

VIM. Bonner is owner of one of the
prospects about camp, upon which he
has done considerable work. He thinks
more of it than he does of his office as
alderman of second ward, and almost as
much as of the new baby which lately
made its headquarters at his house. He
sent some samples to Jack Hurley, a
friend. who presides over the d~estinics
of Rock creek and occasionally strolls
down to town to get supplies and meet
his friends.
Jack, without the knowledge of Mr..
Bonner, took great interest in the claim
and examined it carefully, after which
he sent the owner the following letter:
Mr.. Bonner:

mine, and find it to contain the follow
ing minerals:

From the llusbandman:
Florence mining stock is worth fifty
cents on the dollar and is cheap at that
price. A mine that pays a dividend
every sixty days in these times ought to
be worth much more.
One of the most valuable properties
in this section is the coal mines owned
by Messrs. Rces, Bainum & Co. They
are located on upper Sixteen mile only
a few miles from the line of the Mon
tana railroad and will furnish the same
a large amount of traffic. Tests which
have been made of the coal prove that
it is as good as the best opened in the
state. From appearances the supply
will be i~nexhaustible. The veins where
it has been opened are large and are not
half full of waste as in some mines.
Two shearing crews of twelve men
each, mostly local shearers, started out
