Since Governor Urover sought to vent a little' personal spite at the people of Benton county, by vetoing the Yaqutna railroad bill, last fall, the matter lias been sulleml to remain Bat with the rise in price of wheat, and the prospect of a double yioM next harvest, the people are again waking up to the importance of an ocean outlet in the heart of the lllaniette valley.

I At their December meeting, the Hoard of rectors, of the Willamette Valley and Coast R. K. took very important steps in this matter, wliich, "in our opinion, will have the effect of uniting our people in one more rally for this important enterprise; In consequence of misunderstanding, and -the Jumbled condition of the old 'stock Looks, thev. resolved to open new withiiew headings, so as to receive la- .1 iii till fnfi7ii tniiv choose to give in aid of the road, and allow canvassers 2 per for subscriptions'1 one half to 1J taken '-in stock, turd the other in cash. It is estimated that 4.tiO.OOO will -grade, bridge; tie and iron the entire road, and the people of Benton county can do this much within themselves.

We Have waited long enough for outside capitalists to build our road, and we believe the Directors have strnck the key note of this enterprise, at last. Let every able-bodied citi.en of Bon-ton county pull off his coat, roll up; -his anil go to work in and ground will be broken on this road before the 1st of tirade and tie a section of live or ten miles, commencing at any point of deep water, and the iron and rolling stock 1.. 1 1 jierieneeof river monopoly and high freights, should rouse the people of Benton and adr joining counties to action. is now favorable for a forward movement on our long-looked for railroad project. Will the people of Benton county take hold of this matter in earnest, and secure1 a permanent check ftipon -transportation monopolies; or.

will they supinely s'ulviiiit while the galling chains of ruinous freight tariffs, are being forged about their necks. What say you, fanners and business men. of OUR RIVER IMPROVEMENT. Among the items under River and improvements," in the Oregonian of the 6th occurs the following: It is proposed to build some 4,000 or o.OOU feet of wingdams on the Upper Willamette durjng the coming -The improvement of Upper Willam; ette river conies1 next in importance, to the people of Benton county; to the building of a -railroad to Yaquina Bay. In both enterprises our farmers are' vitally interested.

For the past two years appropriations have lecn made and the- money.1 squandered iur making on thei upper river. Last sntnnrcr and a number of wingdams Vre constructed, which, instead of imprt.vrng" navigation, were a positive disadvantage we liaVe been credibly in formed bv i sti'nTTd-i mfn Tf llic nnip liumbuggeryi i to be repeated this, year, in the nanfe of the pet ip'le interested, we object; Wingdants, to be of any benefit, whatever, should be built at the lower end of a riffle or rba'r, so as to back the water and. increase the depth of the channel upon the same. Just the opposite course was -pursued in the construction of wingdams, last" summer, and hence they were worse than a failure, and their removal was loudly called for. If "4.000 or feet of wingdams" are to be constructed on the upper -Willamette, the coming summer, it is to be hoped the work will be under the superintendence of some practical river man, so) that the money expanded will in way benefit the people in whose interests it was The 'money foolishly expended, annually, in improving the upper and lower Willamette would soon construct the Yaipiina railroad, and thus give the people of the Willamette, valley, as well as Eastern Oregon, a direct and unfailing outlet to the Fad lie ocean.

Look at your maps, and see if the Yaquina Bay is not the nearest and "mostl feasible ocean outlet for Eastern; as well ias' Western Oregon? CitAVCiED His Mind.

At the close of the meeting Rev.

I have been too Of course we regretted to hear this remark, as we fully -expected our'friend would renew his subscription to the two copies of the (iAZETTE he has taken for years. Even though every Democratic paper started in Benton county has diid, and' bilked him, that is no reason why he should throw off on the Gazette, which has the blast" for fourteen years; and stood true to the best interests of the county. A live local paper is of incalculable benefit to any locality and the Oazettk is just that kind of a paper; but give us increased support such a support as will justify still futher outlay of capital, and we will give you a still better paper. As i our Democratic friends have learud, from experience, it takes money to run a newspaper successfully.

We regret to lose a single subscription, but the success of our paper depends upon prompt payment and we deviate from ourrule.and in view of the heavy losses we have sustained by the credit it is unreasonable to ask us to do so. Fire Last week, we no-ticed the test made of the Babcoc'k Fire Extinguisher, in this place and pronounced it "almost a failure." We have nothing to take back relative to that test, but are surprised to think that any "blame" should' be attached to! Mr. Buford, Foreman of! the Ilooksy in matter. B. simply did his duty in causing the test to be made, aiid not waiting to experiment upon an "actual fire." From our own i observation, as well as numerous notices of the press, we feel confident that these Extinguishers-a'nd we have four of may be of incalculable benefit and aid to our fire department, fires first originate.

And we have no doubt their adaptability will be clearly demonstrated to ourj: citizens, when Mr. Stevens, (as no doubt he will,) gives a test of the same in our citv. When Mr, Buford made his test, some of the chemicals were not properly and xho fire was not fairly built. We desire to see fair play. If, however, after due trial, machines should prove "failure," we will not be at all backward in saying so.

For instance, he testified on direct examination that he was made a little angry by l'atrick's telegram that he could get anything from Tilden if Tilden was elected by his instrumentality, but under Morton 'd cross-ex-anation, shortly afterwards, he said Patrick's suggeststion had -not offended him at all. Being questioned whether he thougt it was' right to withhold certificates when the majority of the college demanded them, he seemed to fall off his guard and inadvertemly answered that he did not consider it a question of right but one of expediency. Cronin's acknowledgement that he.

received nominally for expenses created much significant comment. It' is now ascertained beyond perad-venture that the' whole proceedings under which Cronin was appointed presidential elector were orignated in. New York and directed thence. It is difficult to see how certain; wit nesses to be examined by Morton's coriimittee, can avoid confessing these facts unless they commit -purjury, which be brought swift home to them.

4. The Inter- Ocean's Washington special frays: The Democrats have been trying all day tocx-plain Cronin's testimony in a manner least damaging to Tilden. It' was first supposed Hewitt in behalf of Tilden would throw The odium of the fc.ljOOO transaction upon the Democratic State committee, but besides being unkind to them, He witt fears other corroborative testimony will follow make the denial useless. Finally it was decided-: adhere to the already given explanation, namely, that Cronin having a -large legal practice, and several cascsaboutto be called, it was decided. to furnish him with the party's funds, and this sum was "supposed to be a fair value for his time and services.

This is the story. It might be well to inquire, however why he was chosen elector, it he must be paid for performing his duty. It is the first instance' in" the history of the country of an elector being paid from funds of the candidate for the Presidency, on whose ticket he was elected. Tilden's New York bankers have been summoned and commanded to bring the identical drafts which were cashed at Cronin's order, and all other drafts payable to persons in Oregon, whose names-are mentioned in.the subpenas. It will then be discovered who furnished the money to pay drafts.
