1t is rumored that Mrs. Beach,
the owner of the house across the
river where the colony of Holy
Rollers has been located has sue
ceeded in forcing them to vacate
the premises and it is also said
that Parson Crefield is now in
hiding near this vicinity. To save
trouble, this gentleman should be
hunted up and made to leave this
section Of the state for good. The
story Of one of his victims con-
signed to a living death in Salem,
bereft of reason, is fresh in the
minds Of every father and mother
in Corvallis. Who knows whose
daughter will be the next victim?
We have no room in the county for
men who murder reason. Save
your own neck, Parson Crefield.
and the quicker you go the better
for you.-Corvallis Gazette.

The action of the Oregon Legis-
lature in passing the Cello canal
bill merits the commentator Of the
people of two states. By appropri-
ating 100000 and providing for a
board of commissioners to secure
for the Federal Government the
right of way, the first step has
been taken preliminary to a work
of great Importance. Since the
fund appropriated is ample, the
commissioners have power to re-
move with the least practicable de-
lay, obstacles to project the COM
pletion of which not only will
operate to the advantage of the
people of Eastern Oregon, but will
be of material aid to the residents
of Eastern Washington. People Of
both states who make their homes
in that fertile region known as the
Inland Empire for long time
have looked upon the Columbia as
the highway marked out by nature
between their part of the country
and the coast; and they are entitled
to general support in their efforts
to interest the Government in the
plan to remove from the river the
obstructions to navigation. That
the Legislature Of Oregon has acted
promptly, and with much wisdom,
in matter affecting the interest Of
so many people, is subject for
congratulation. Seattle Post-In-

Congratulations.

Mr.. John H. Cullom, Editor of the

ter OF congratulations to the manufac-
turers OF Chamberlain Cough Remedy
as follows: "Sixteen years ago when
our first child was baby he was subject
to croupy spells and we would be very
uneasy about him. We began using
Chant berlain's Cough Remedy in 1887,
and finding it such reliable remedy for
colds and Group, we have never been
without it in the house since that time.
We have five children and have given it
to all of them with good results. One
good feature of this remedy is that it is
not disagreeable to take and our babies
really like it. Another is that it is not
dangerous, and there is no risk from Civ
ing an overdose. | congratulate you
upon the success of your remedy" For
