printing and binding of $50 examination
and correspondence tablets for the use OF
college students, ordered by the station
cry stores of Con Gerhard and May War
rem.
This work was done in competition
with Portland and San Francisco firms
and in Workmanship and quality, the tab
lets are superior to those made for these
stores last year by San Francisco houses.
The job required 500 pounds of paper
and Al, 900 impressions. They were print
ed by GAzRrTE Publishing Co., whose
job printing department can compete
with metropolitan printers, as to prices,
dispatch and artistic workmanship.

A SAD BEREAVEMENT.

Mrs. Mary c. Bowersox, the beloved
wife of Rev. Josiah Bowersox, pastor of
the Independent Evangelical church in
this city, departed this life at 1850 p. M.
yesterday at the family home, No. AT
Liberty street, her age being 81 years, 9
months and FL days.
The news of her demise will be quite
shock to her numerous friends and ac-
quaintances throughout this city and
valley, where she was widely known.
She was taken i'll Tuesday evening and
soon it was apparent that her condition
was serious one The best of medical
aid was summoned, but all efforts to pro-
duce a change for the better were of
no avail and death relieved her of her
suffering at the hour heretofore stated.
Deceased's maiden name was Mary c.
Orwig and she was born in Newberlin,
Union county, Pennsylvania, on Decem-
Der ID, I84I. On December I6, 1862, at
that city she became the wife of Josiah
Bowersox and they continued their resi-
dence their until May, 1870 when they
removed to Oregon, settling in Salem in
1870. With the exception of seven years
past at Albany and other places in the
Willamette valley by reason of Mr.. Bow
ersox's pastoral duties, they have lived
here ever since. She was the mother of
five children-four sons and one daugh-
ter-viz: Arthur and Albert W., of Cor
wallis; Mrs. AIDA Allen, of Portland;
Frank, of Sacramento, and Fred, who is
still at home. All are here excepting
Frank who has been telegraphed for and
will arrive tomorrow morning.
Her aged mother is at present residing
in Cleveland, Ohio.
Mrs. Bowersox was an active member
and worker in the Independent Evan
gelical church, of which her husband is
pastor.-Salem Statesman.
Mrs. Bowersox was buried last Satur-
day. Arthur and Albert Bowersox went
to Salem in response to telegram, but
arrived too late to see their mother alive.

A MAN FROM MEXICO.

A gentleman was in Corvallis last Sat
urday who five weeks ago was in the city
of Mexico. This gentleman, Mr.. ]. B.
Johnston, is very intelligent and observ-
ing mechanic, and has been engaged in
the putting in of mining machinery for
several years. He has put in five plants
in Mexico, and his first visit there was in
1873. Mr.. Johnston had his hand crush
ed in hosting machine at Mexican
mine two months ago and returned to
the United States. In reply to an inquiry
as to the operation of free silver in Mex
leo, Mr.. johnson furnished the follow
ing statement:
'In old Mexico there are four classes
benefited by free silver. Ist-The mine
owner. Miners wages in Mexico are
$I.25 per day in silver worth IS cents in
gold. In this country the wages for the
same work are $3.5o per day in gold. So
yon see, the mine owners get their work
done in Mexico for less than one-fourth
what it costs in this country. Conse-
quently, the mine owners are making
money and are prosperous. A great deal
of American money is being invested in
Mexican mines, but it means starvation
to the miners.
2nd-The owners of large coffee, sugar
and rice farms are making money, due
to the depreciation of the currency. The
above articles are exported in large guam
titles to Europe and this country and
sold for gold. These landlords sell the
gold and pay their laborers in silver, the
wages ranging from 80 cents to so cents
per day; equal to IS cents and rs cents
In gold. Consequently, you can see the
laborer of Mexico is in worse condition
than the slave ever was in this country.
1t takes days work to pay for pound
of coffee. So you see, the luxuries of
life they know nothing about. The la
borers of Mexico are not able to wear
shoes. So you can judge of their pros
perity. All other branches of agricul-
ture, except as above mentioned, are in
worse condition than before the depreci-
alton of their currency.
Yours truly,
]. B. JOHNSTON.

MoRrGAGING MILLIONS.

The recent transfer of the o. r. & N.
properties, is maxim G work for Recorder
Gellatly. The transfer from the receiv-
ers to the purchasing committee involved
the necessity of four deeds and mort
gage, all the instruments had to appear
on record in every county where the COM
pany has property. The amount of mort
gage bonds to be issued is limited by the
terms of the mortgage to $24, 500, 900 and
SIS, I74, 900, are to be issued forthwith.
The property in Benton county is not
very extensive, consisting only of the
warehouse and wharf. While the instru-
ments deal only with millions, they refer,
so far as this county is concerned, to only
about 81, 500 worth of property.
The four deeds comprise about 27o To-
lios and the mortgage, 100 folios. Ben
ton county is $40 richer by the transfer,
the recording fees running up to that
amount.

good success. The fair opens Oct.
1st and closes on the evening of

features of general interest.
The supplement that accompan-
les this issue is a compendium Of
political literature and there is not
an article that is not worthy of care
full perusal They are the writings
of thoughtful men, and include
letters and speeches from silver
republicans like Governor McOon-
nell and Senator Wolcott; from
opponents of free silver like Sher-
man and Geer, and democratic evi-
dence is represented in the address
of Judge Macarthur. McKinley's
letter of acceptance is acknowl-
edged by all parties to be strong
contribution to Amerlca's political
literature, and will be eagerly read.

voter in Benton county.

Three Shooters.

Capt. ]. w. Crawford, Samp Hender-
SON and John Huffman are hunting in the
Cascades near Seven-mile mountain. In
a letter from Mr. Crawford to his family
he states that the air has been so smoky
from the big fires that hunting was for
time out of the question, but they have
been very successful since the rains.
They met the families that drove over
the mountains from Eastern Oregon and
who so narrowly escaped with their lives.
One team was actually blistered, one man
had his beard singed, and wonan's hair
was burned.
Mr.. Crawford adds that their clothing
is rapidly disappearing and unless they
return soon, they will have to begin hunt.
ing fig leaves.
