MARCUS WHITMAN.

Did DR.. Whitman save Ore
sox to the union? The question
has beon debated in newspapers
for years, and the debaters are as
far apart as ever. Nor would q
convincing argument, even il
possible, be of any real value.
DR.. Whitman has rendered his
services and his place in history
snsi in the hearts of the Ameri-
can people is fixed. Facts OF
fiction cannot change it. All
recognize in him the faithful mis-
sionary, the intrepid pioneer,
The patriotic citizen.
More fitting a monument to his
memory than the statute erected
in Philadelphia is the Whitman
College at Walla Walla. The
institution is an appropriate trib'
ute to the broad and practical
humanity of the man. In hon.
oring the memory of DR.. Whit
mau, we honor the brave bans
pioneers whose courage and en-
terprise has developed the mag.
ni6cent northwest territory O.
our republic.

POLITICAL DRIFT.
Lightning Reds are Going Up.
Concern and Activity Among
the Powers That Be and
Would Be.

There are few political Jack
Hornsrs. Humpty Dumpties are
more in evidence, but of course.
each politician fondly imagines
that he Is destined 10 be Jack,
with the Humpties to be recruited
from more common clay. The
average politician is no Jack
Spratt. He swallows lsan fat,
4ristle and bone if occasion re-
qulre. and will say he enjoys 1t.
Humpty Dumpties by scores
are sitting OH the wall i'll Oregon
at present. The undercurrent OF
state politics is moving strongly
and queer fish are swimming,
looking for worms. There Is a
flittiug here and dashing there,
all intended to be sly and secret.
But political waters, however roll
ed, are fairly transparent it one
only chooses to look.
Ii there is genuine fusion OF the
free silver forces next spring il
will be under the populist staad.

the leaders have = perfect under

whelmingly an;i-Simon. They
will not divide en- Mitchell lines.
If Senator Mitchell is still a can
didate he will have the same
chance as any other republican
and no more. Lord Is figuring
largely on tho future, but the re
suit of his calculations, from pres
ont appear ances, will be zero.
The party convention without
doubt will fiud good clean men
for the offices who are not promi
nently identified with any faction.
The Oregonian crowd may posi-
bly, bolt and nominate Simon
ticket, but such a ticket would
cut less figure than that of tks
gold democrats.
At present the republicans are
masters Of the situation and their
success next June seems assured.

Miss Josie Ferguson and VIII

Certain parties have jumped a

case was up Monday before Justice
Kelly, J. H. Wilson and w. S.
NcFadden, attorneys from Corval-
lis, representing the state. The
outcome of the trial will be
awaited with interest by many.
So far the roads are in good con-
dition with the exception of mud
holes now and then. If tho road
supervisors would all take note of
the precise location of these places
which are bad in winter and have
them repaired during the season
for working out road taxes, the
highways in this county would
IHsooR be in extra good shape.

THE TOWN WE LIVE IN.

There are places larger thar
Corvallis-several of them.
There are places that do more
business and have more money.
There are towns that can boast
of finer buildings and bette,
streets. Corvallis can be dis.
counted i'll many ways by many
burgs. But a Corvallis man who
has seen these other places
and observed their particular ad.
vantages still prefers the sue
fcessors to Marysville.
Corvallis people have vim, in
telligence and enterprise. Its
spirit of enterprise has eftez
beex an expensive luxury, as
witnesseth the big empty carriage
factory building, but it is conf
mendable spirit and accounted
one of the town's charms.
Corvallis is a college town and
conducts itself accordingly, but
our people make no disgusting
display of sickly artificial cul-
ture. They ara bright and we'll
read, but natural and practical.
Nor is it fogotten that this is a
business town and county seat,
as well as the site of the leading
educational institution of Oregon.
Life is worth living in Corval-
lis. There is an nndefnable
sometaing that attracts and in
terests. There is the more tang
able charms of slightly location,
healthfulness, beauty and mater
Fal prosperity. Corvallis is a
live, up-to date town, with
enough of the old fashioned to
Hispel any hint of vulgarity.
If your eastern friends are 60
Ing to move west, invite them
here. Later, if they accept
Ehe invitation, they will thank
vou.
