The GAZETTE is thirty-fve years and
eight weeks old today. 1t has, so far as

Interest i'll politics may revive toward
the end of the campaign. but at present
aPoitical speaker on either side would
draw slim audience in Corvallis. The
war absorbs the general interest and out
side of politicians men hardly remember
whether they are republicans, pepulis:s,
prohibitionists or democrats.
A letter received recently from Chas.
Pearse, of San Francisco, enclosed

attacks of long, hot, parching weather
and there will be al exodus to the web
foot state.
