THE preachers of New York
sermonized Sunday on the war
question. Most of them took
the ground that "a war between
Great Britain and the United
States would be a crime, because
we are the same people, same
blood, same tongue; Our fathers
are the same fathers; and we have
the same principles What has
tongue and blood to do with it
By what authority do these
preachers tell us that it is less a
crime to war with Germany,
France or Japan, than with Eng
land =? Is German, Frenchlnan,
or Japanese, less human, OF less
regarded by the creator, than all
Englishlnan? Then, too, we are
not the same people, and we have
not the same principles. Such
sermons are no credit to religion,
War is not an unlnixed evil. 1t
is costly in lives and property,
buta a war for principle betters the
world otherwise.

THOSE would-be muzzlers c

THOSE would-be 1nuzzlers OF
the press, do not propose to go
far enough to effect their purpose.
They wish the papers to sanction
rottenness by silence, but public
journals are not the only means
of disseminating news. A com
mittee of censors should be ap-
pointed to open all private letters
going through the post Office and
blot out everything containing
the forbidden information. The
10. A. c. students especially
should be kept under surveillance;
guards should be stationed at all
points of egress from the city,
aud nobody allowed to leave, un-
less he gives bonds to keep silent.
Halfway expedients will not suf-
fee. Adopt heroic measures, pull
down the blinds, put out the
lights, and let lis have a rough
house. Otherwise, the GAZETTE
will continue the even tenor ol
its way; and, believing that fire
is the best disinfectant, will, as
ever, expose and "burn up" pub
lie rottenness.

WHAT OF THE WINTER I

The Portland Farmer and
Stock1nan, of November, cites
several peculiarities of this sea
son that resemble those of 1862.
suThe summer and fall of the
present season is very much like
that of 1861. The Indians in
Idaho, Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington were, as they said, led by
the actions of their horses, the
elk and deer, to believe that a
hard winter was to follow. The
Indians said their horses
were inclined to seek the higher
south-hill sides. While the elk
and deer came early from the
mountains, and Inhabited the
lower-hat ranges. We are told
that the Indians are now calling
attention to the similar actions of
these animals" After calling
attention to the impressions these
animals have, the editor asks:
''Why do the wild birds nil
CRATE? Why does the hog often
commence to build his warm
bed, even when the weather is
warm and pleasant? Instinct is
natural, it cannot be cultivated,
as the trotting horse editor some
times talks"
1t is common occurrence that
straw is burned in the fall. Why
not keep it till spring to ascer-
tain whether it will be needed
for the stock. The good farmers S
motto is Get, thee, food for thy
stock; keep them we'll in hand" +"
for should an 1861 December
storm come again, the stampede
before the blizzard cannot be
checked.

DURING the present year, the
State Agricultural College has
grown more than all the other
colleges in Oregon. At the pres
ent rate of increase, the attend
ance next year will be more than
twice what it was last year. This
will call for more dwellings than
have been occupied; and it will
call for more neighbors. AL
ready there are within our midst
several new families who have
come to breathe the intellectual
atmosphere that hovers about
Corvallis; and since the average
Corvallisite will not be outdone,
it it safe to say that our visitors
will be entertained. They are
our guests, and 1--WE are the peo-
pie"

An OREGON SCHOOL.

Editor Train, of the Albany
Herald, visited the Oregon Agri-
cultural College last week, and
after reaching his Office wrote the
Iaattering comment of how the
institution impressed him:
GA recent visit to the city OF
Corvallis, gave an opportunity
to look in on the workings of the
Oregon Agricultural College, and
to say that a most agreeable sur
prise was given, when the extent
and pe1fectness of the workings
rof that school were seen, is but
stating simple fact.
In every department the equip
me1t is full, complete and as per-
feet as the advancement of science
can make it, and the work in
instruction bears the impress of
being thorough and of solid
worth. President Bloss, with
the professors in charge of the
various departments form corps
of earnest and efficient educa-
tional workers.
Limited time only allowed of
a hasty view of the work of the
young ladies in the mending and
making classes, and glimpse OF
the department where instruction
is given the culinary art, but
enough was seen to show that no
part of domestic life is neglected,
and that the best and most ap-
proved methods are illustrated
and ably taught.
So to in the mechanical de-
partment, and the agricultural
horticultural fields, every opera
ton is brought out and thorough
ly illustrated by applied methods
until pupils are SO thoroughly in
strncted that they arc equipped
to meet all the requirements OF
life in whatever occupation they
may engage.
'In the experiment station
work, in the chemical depart
ment and in the microscopic pho
tographic development of facts,
wonderful and most useful things
are demonstrated, which are of
great value if acted upon, and
which should be more widely
known and applied.
''Oregon has reason to be proud
of her Agricultural College, and
the advancement it is making,
and appreciates it, too, in meas
ure, as evinced by the largely in
creased attendance this year.
But if our people fully appreci.
ated the advantages throughout
the state, there would be still
larger use of the privileges Of
this educational institution. y

IT is matter of general regret
among his constituents that Con-
gresham Hermann failed to be
given first place on the commit
tee of rivers and harbors. How
ever, he was given second place
on the committee, which will
make him a member of the con-
ference committee, and place him
in a better position to care for
Oregon's interests than ever be-
fore. In refusing him the chair
manship, Speaker Reed really
pays Mr.. Hermann a compliment.
He thinks the Oregon congress
man has too extravagant an idea
of the Importance of river and
harbor Improvements, and on that
account would be altogether too
liberal with the public funds.
The written request to Speaker
Reed for the appointment of Rep
resentative Hermann to the chair
manship of the committee on
rivers and harbors was signed by:
Senators John H. Mitchell and
Geo. w. Mcbride, of Oregon;
George C. Perkins, of California;
c. D. Clark and Francis Warren,
of Wyomina; Watson c. Squire
and John L. Wilson, of Wash
ington; G. L. Shoup and Fred
7. Dubois, of Idaho; Thomas H.
Carter and Lee Mantle, of Mon
tana; William M. Stewart, of
Nevada, and H. c. Hansbrough,
of North Dakota. The same re-
quest was also signed by the
republican members of congress
of Oregon, California, Washing
ton, Nevada, Idaho and Montana.
The Lake Carriers Association,
powerful union of shippers on
the great lakes and the republi-
can state central committee Of
Virginia also interceded with
Speaker Reed in behalf of Mr..
Hermann.

THE PRESS DECLINES.

The press of Corvallis must
kindly though firmly refuse to be
muzzled. This is not Russia,
and the newspapers can safely
decline the Offices Of these self
appointed censors. While the
GAZETTE stands agllast at the
mighty genius Of those who con-
ceived that brilliant attempt to
efectually vindicate the police
officers, it lnusters up telnerity
enough to suggest that i'll the ex-
citernent of the moment, they
forgot to be logical.
The Corvallis newspapers GER
tainly published the facts concern
ing the doings of our police force
on all eventful occasion. Bat,
respected censors, don't you be-
lieve that those doings were right
and proper and a credit to our
city? You espouse the officers
and their actions, openly, pub
licly and zealously. You surely
would not uphold anything you
considered discreditabie or dis
reputable. The GAZETTE can
not, will not, believe that you
are so unnanly. Then, since
those actions of our officers were
SO eninently proper and noble,
how could the papers injure the
city by making them public?'
"Let your light SO shine before
men that they may see your good
works." is a divine command.
Respected censors, as you are
temporarily so sensitive regard
ing the city's fair name, aud as
the episode of November goth is
a source of pride to you as citi-
zens, would it not be we'll to pub
lish a complete report of the af-
fair in pamphlet form and distrib-
ute it in the hope of increasing
our population The GAZETTE
rests i'll the belief that it was
really the intention of the petit
tioners to uphold the papers, but
that the authors of the document,
being unused to literary labor,
failed to properly express their
sentiments.
It's right that the world should
know that public virtue, as prac-
ticed by the police officers of the
city, is upheld by some pro1nl-
nent citizens of Corvallis, though
the newspapers and public gener-
ally condemn it. Those gentle
men who have SO kindly and tree
ly lent their valuable time and as
sistance to force the city to form
ally endorse such virtue, will long
be remembered by the people OF
Benton county.

The rebuilding of the Salem wooden mill
recalls recollections Of the largest and most
representative ball ever given in Oregon,
and that when the state was young and the
population small. A stock company was
formed in Salem in 1855, to build and oper-
ate a woolen mill; the pioneer Oregon manu-
factury of any Importance. The water ditch
was completed in 1857, and in the fall of the
same year the three story wooden mill build
ing was erected. A grand ball was given in
honor of the event before the machinery ar
rived, and representative people from the
whole state were present. The three floors
of the large building were thronged with
dancers ard spectators, and three orchestras
furnished the music. Senator Growers rep
utation as dancer was thoroughly cstaf-
lished during that eventful evening. Phil
Sheri,lan-thcn Lieut.. Sheridan-braved
social unpleasantries and helped represent
the military element.
The machinery arrived soon after, and
work commenced. The stockholders, how
ever, began to grow dubius otN the financial
success of the enterprise, ard Jos. Watt,
one OF its most active organizers, contracted
for all the mills output at Il certain figure,
profitable to the company. The stockhold-
ers considered themselves fortunate for a
while, and were inclined to pity Mr. Watt.
Soon they realized, however, that his profits
were in excess OF theirs, and that he had IL
bonanza. AS he was interested in the factory
from public more Chan from II personal
standpoint, he agreed to cancel his contract
fora on,ideration, a proposition the COM
pany hastened to accept.
Salem is now building new mill to re-
place the one recently burned, and while
some Of the stock subscribers probably con
tributed for the public good chiefly, they
will, doubtless, enjoy the experience Of the
pioneer stakeholder, whose bread, cast upon
| the waters, made a speedy return.

The Plants Protected.

Mrs. Alex Muir left Tuesday with her
two daughters for a weeks visit in
Pittsville with relatives. Before leaving
she persisted in reminding her husband
not to let the plants freeze. Alex
thought this an excellent time to invite
some of his gentlemen friends in who
had experience III keeping plants from
freezing. Accordingly he invited about
thirty of the young business men at his
home Wednesday evening. They all
responded. Whist waslargely employed
as the means of entertainment. AS an
entertainer few men excel Mr.. Muir
and the evening was made a verv
pleasant one. Refreshments were
served in which nothing was lacking.
S. F. Durga, the popular station agent
on the Green Bay road, was the only
person who received a prize. For
particulars enquire of him. The plants
are all safe and quite apt to be while
Mrs. Muir is absent. She left them in
good hands.
