FIGHTING THE DEVIL.
Work Of the North Pacific Sal.
vationiStS.

The following is given for publication
by Ensign Leyh of the Salvation Army,
who is at the present time visiting the
different corps of the Northern Pacific
Division in the interest of the social and
mercy boz branches of the Salvation
Army:
The ensign reports that the Salvation
Army has in operation at the present
time in the United States, 40 mems shell
ter., accommodating a,5oo nightly; three
wonlen's shelters, accommodating 900
nightly; eight rescue homes, accomno-
dating 1856; eight work shops, factories
and woodyards; three farm colonies for
ex-prisoners; three ckildren's homes;
fifteen sluru posts; six salvage brigades.
The Corvallis corps belongs to the
Northern Pacific Chief Division, said
division comprising the states of Wash
ington, Oregon AID Southern Idaho,
with Headquarters at Portland, Oregon,
under the command of Major S. Mar
shall.
The following social institutions are in
operation in the Northern Pacific Diyis
ion:
One woodward; one basket factory
one food and shelter depot; one farm
colony and ex-prisoners' colony.
We also contemplate opening, in sddi
etion to the above, rescue home in tbs
near future.
The figures below are taken from
quarterly report Of three months worll
of the Northern Pacific Social Branch:
Meals supplied: I3, sIe; place to sleel
found for 6,655; number of baths given
9S4; pieces of clothing given away, LILO
pairs of shoes given away, 200. Some
thing like 7S4 souls professed salvation a
our different meetings.
The demands on the army extension
of this work are ever increasing. and
therefore, with full confidence and faitl
that all that is undertaken in His nan,
will prosper and rebound to his hone
and glory, we feel that we can confident
ly appeal to the further sympathy an
benevolence of the generous public
which hitherto sustained us, and enable
US to accomplish the work done for Jess
| sake.

An Apology.

We evidently misinterpreted
the meaning of the "Fair
Lady Bicyclists'' in their
communication to the Times
last week, and I trust they
will accept an apology for our
blunder. They say they were
only in fun, and as we are of a
playful disposition ourself, we
trust the mirth will proceed with
out further interruption. We
might have known better at the
time, but the truth is we were
kicked by a mule when we were
a kid ard have had an unnatural
suspicion of females who wanted
to play with us ever since.

\ STORY TOLD.
How Chaos Grew into Success.
A Bit of History.

Benton county is good enough !
for anybody to live in. It's physi-
cal charms have been often por-
trayed. and are apparent to every
seeing resident aud visitor.
The citizens are public spirited
and appreciative. In this -connec-
kion this paper ha. little story to
tell
s Three years ago the Corvallis
GAzErTE was in hard lines. 1t re-
eeived but little support and it
hardly deserved the little it re-
ceived. 1t was hardly more than
an apology for newspaper, and
there was cordial disposition on
the part of discerning public to
grant it needed repose.
Then the present management
took charge. Its capital consisted
fchiefy of faith and energy. The
combined force could hardly make
Ia fifty ,olIar flash. 1t took hold
Iof the paper during the midnight
lot hard times. Nearly the whole
outfit was rented, and the ''good
will'' of the business was burden
rather than help.
When the people of the county
saw that there was a determine
ton on the part of the manage
ment to make the paper readable
and useful, they aided and en-
couraged it. 1t sometimes cl,shed
with their ideas, but they recogniz-
ed the fact that the GAZETTE aimed
to be fair, truthful and independ
| emf; and they preferred a news
! paper that had a will Of its own.
The paper did not truckle to
those in authority. 1t has not
lived on official patronage. The
GAZETTE is strongly republican
and yet when a republican county
court seemed lax i'll its duty, this
j paper spurred it up. 1t has fought
Joe Simon, the Oregon republican,
boss, and when the present mis-
governor of the state began truck
ling with politicians to the detri
ment Of the peoples best inter
ests, the fact that he was repub
lican did not prevent the GAZETTE
! from severely criticising him
5 These criticisms mean estrange
ments and arrangements means
loss of official patronage. But
there is an immense satisfaction il
being thoroughly independent.
Notwithstanding the hard time:
the business prospered. The man
lagement now owns the pl ant ano
! occupies the large two story build
: ing especially fitted up for its u.s.
; It has no debts and is making {
f fair profit. The subscription lis
is very large and every week new
names are added. The paper il
, highly regarded, home and abroad
1t is in simple justice to the cit
, izens of the county tnat these
things are mentioned. They have
made the GAzETTE's success posi-
BILE. They ''pay the printer man
when they can pay anybody, and
E the printer man appreciates it
The news contributors, especially
have been a great factor in build
ing up the paper. No other coun
try weekly in Orsgon has as clev
er force of country correspond
ents.
Benton is a small county, but il
tis all right "from Long Tom Il
: Soap Greek, from Summit to the
!, Willamette" Her people are the
; kind of people that must be and
4 are respected.
