What Shall We Do to be Saved?
CORVALLIS, July IA, '96.

Ed. GAZETTE
Your article of the 7th inst,
pointing out the lack Of enterprise
and hnsi:: foresight that exists
in Corvallis, is, alas, too true. A
blind man can see that there is not
more than hall the business done
IN Corvallis, that there was five
years ago. Even now few enter
prising citizens are canvassing for
stock to build a creame.y, and the
enterprise is dragging and may fail
Tor want of little assistance from
those who are most interested in
in the business and prosperity of
Corvallis. Why is thisg Have our
people deliberately decided to let
this place run down to "whlsling
station?" 1t looks that way to a
man up a tree.
The first blow that Corvallis re-
ceived was in the division of the
county, but that could have been
overcome by proper effort on
the part of property owners, and
business men of Corvallis. The
same unf1inching effort and deter
mination of purpose that secured
the funds and built the Agrlcul-
tural College. would have built a
bridge across the Willamette and
secured to US a large portion of
Linn county trade. We have
reached that point a0zeye some
thing must be done to save the
place from utter collapse. "The
g DIS help those who help them
selves" Let US make an effort.
1st.-Let the lacking shares Ill
the creamery be taken, and stop
hauling milk to Albany.
2nd.-(1ive all necessary aid in
getting the Carriage Factory out
|of the hands of the assignee and
put it in operation.
3rd.-Take immediate steps to-
ward securing the building of a
free wagon bridge across the Will
llamette, and to that end I would
suggest that a bill be prepa ed to
amend our charter, so as to author
ize the city by vote to sell BRIDE
bonds to the amount of $4,000.
and then ask the county to aid us
to the amount of $4,000. Cor
wallis is the best place to build a
bridge south of Oregon City. The
banks are high and the stream mar
row, so that a good substantial
bridge can be built for twenty five
or thirty thousand. Five years ago
| secured an estimate of the cost
of bridge at this place, by the
superintendent. of the Madison
street bridge at Portland, and he
put it at thirty thousand dollars.
A bridge would be worth to Cor.
Wallis ten dollars to every one that
the Albany bridge benefits that
place, for all the north end of the
county traded at Albany before
the bridge was built. To secure
the foregoing improvements, l am
willing to enter into a written
agreement to pay ten per cent on
the assessable value of all my
property, if all all who are assess
ed for more than one thousand dol
lars will do the same.

negan lake, pretty little place near

matter thereof is an elOpement, which
is unique in that it is three-cornered,
the principal characters being Fritz
Morensen and the Misses Turner of
Nanaimo. AT first fifteen-year-o
Amy found most favor in Moresen's
eyes. Then Julia, who is her senior
by three years, prevailed. Finally, in
sore peTplexity, he propOunded the
proposition that the twain should fly
with him to California, and it appears
they closed the bargain. In any event

Virginia Fair narrowly escaped drown

at Bailey's Beach for the first time this
season. People who were watching
her say that Miss Fair was about to

edge, poised for the dive, when she
slipped on the wet plank, lost her
balance and fell Her head struck the
edge of the raft and she was stunned
for a moment.
The surf was heavy and the under
tow stronger than usual. Miss Fair,
almost senseless, was being carried out
when the life guard in his boat near at
hand took her ashore. She was taken
to the villa of her sister at Rose Cliff
She soon recovered her spirits and was
extremely grateful to the life guard

Due TO the Labor Troubles.
CLEVELAND, August "a start
ling piece of news in connection with
the Brown strike, which comes from
an APPARENTLY reliable source, is to the
effect that the strikers are arming
themselves and drilling. 1t was said
today that forty of the strikers had
organized a company last Saturday,
elected captain and purchased re-
volvers. The company drilled Satur-
day evening and it was announced that
the purpose of the men was to avenge
the death of the two men who were shot
at different times in conflicts between
union and non-union men.
James O'Connell, the head of the
Machinists' Union, who was here in
charge of the strike and who helped to
bring about the settlement under which
the men returned to work, came back
to Cleveland today. He was surprised
and chagrined to learn that the men
had struck a second time.
Four companies of militia are on
duty at the works tonight.

Cochran VIII Oppose.
NEW YORK, August Wv. Bourke
Cochran returned last Saturday from
Europe by the steamer Paris. Cochran
did not forget American politics during
his trip, and he has evolved plan by
which he thinks the defeat of the Chi
cago candidates may be encompassed.
Speaking of the situation, he said:
Il regard it as the grayest in the his
tory of the country, exceeding in i'm
portance the crisis of 1860. The seces-
sion movement was but an attempt to
divide this country between two Gov
ernments, each of them designed to
protect property within the limits of it's
jurisdiction. The movement launched
at Chicago is an attempt to paralyze
industry by using all the powers of the
Government to take property from the
hands of those who created it and place
it in the hands of those who covet it.

politics. No political convention can

He Recognizes the Gravity of the
VENEZUELAN Situation.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-The long and
elaborate, article by John Morley, the
late Chief Secretary for Ireland, in the
Nineteenth Century, on arbitration, is
attracting considerable attention. Mr.
Morley contends that while the line of
difference between Secretary Olney and
the Marquis of Salisbury is narrow, yet
one British non possumus could easily
convert it into a risk of fratracidal
war. He strongly believes that what is
to be done must be done quickly, and
breads the result of fatalistic conf
dence in the wisdom of Downing street
Mr.. Morley adds that if the Foreign
Office leaves arbitration alone it would
be nothing of a disaster to one of the
greatest causes now moving the West
ern world. If Lord Salisbury fails the
question will be set back for many
years.

DALLAS. Tex, July 3O.-Since Sat

to heal by touch, through faith. and he

different ailments. Some reported that
they had been cured. He left suddenly

East, and that he fasts for forty days
each year, and has walked on the water
like Christ.

Government has protested against the
delay in the transmission of mails be-

to three days longer than when they
are sent to San Francisco and New
York. The delay is due to the slow

the Canadian ports, as compared with
the Atlantic liners running between
New York and British ports.
