WEEKLY (iilll VLLfS GAZETTE, Corrallis, April 18, 1879. WESTS) DE EXTENSION Nevsr ha? the future of Corvallis looked more bright and cheering than ' at 'present. The few days, of sunshine gave an impetus to business, of all kinds, and the " music of hammer and saw," are heard in all parts of the city. Several handsome residences will be built this season. Mr. Thos. Graham has already let the contract for his new house. Dr. Farra and Messrs. J no. Smith and J. H. Lewis also intend to commence building in a short time. Real estate is going up in price, new goods are being rushed in, while there is a constant demand for laborers and mechanics. The westside road is being pushed toward Corvallis, as will be seen by the following from the Oregonian of the 15th inst : . ... The line of the proposed extension of the Oregon Central, or Westside railroad, has been definitely located, excepting at one or two points, and the rtht of way in Yamhill county secured excepting in the cases of a tew land tracts owned by non-residents. For the privilege of passing over these lands the company may J e compelled to sue under the law condemning rights of way. In any case the progress of the work will not in any way be hindered. The company is now se curing right of way in Polk county. The contract for grading the first ten miles of the road, from the present terminus at St. Joseph in Yamhill, to Amity in the same county, has been let, and the work is pro gressing fairly considering the state of the weather. Another contract for grading from Amity south will soon be let. Piles for the bridee across the worth fork of the Yamhill have been built, and the bents set ap ; and the pile s driven for a pier on the west side of the main stream. The work of driving piles for a bridge to span CSozine creek, near McMinnville, will com mence in a few days. . Almost all the tim bers for the larger trestles and for the truss bridges of the northern part of the road are framed and ready to be set up, at the build ing yard at St. Jo. Over 17.000 ties have been completed, and a special train is now engaged in carrying them to St. Jo, from where they will be sent out by construction cars as required. SILETZ AGENCY. The telegraph announced a few days ago that E. A. Swain, of New York, had been appointed agent of the Siletz reservation. Who Mr. Swain is, or what hjs qualiffca tions, we knnw not, bat it seems a little strange that a New York man should be ap pointed to a Federal office In Oregon, espe cially in view of the recommendation made by the last annual conference of the M. B. Church, under whose supervision the agency is supposed to be placed. It will be remem bered that W. G. Piper, of Albany, was recommended for that position in cise of a vacancy. Jude Piper hs the confidence of the community in which he lives, and Ts certainly worthy and competent We do not know that he desires the situation, but this certainly is a strange proceeding. Tha above is from the Salem Statesman, of the 15th inst. In the first place, we were not aware that a vacancy existed in the po sition of agent at Siletz reservation. If .there is, we think the person recommended by the conference of the M. E. Church, should stand first on the list. Can it be pos sible that there 13 no person connected with that Church, on this coast, capable of filling the position. If that is true, then send a " hand " from " York State." CIRCUIT COURT.

Mon teith, of Albany, returned from Yaquina Bay. last Wednesday. They went for the purpose of investigating Cape Foulweather as a harbor of refuge, and return well satis fied, as to its practicability, and are highly pleased with the Bay country. It is mmored that an "opium smoking den" exists in Corvallis, nnd frequented by young men of the city. If such a "sink of iniquity" exists, the city authorities should look after it, at once, and bring the offenders to time. Opium smoking is one of the most pernicious and demoralizing vices, and should be abated, like any other nuisance. Services at the Evangelical church, next Sabbath, April 20th, at 11 a. m. After the sermon the sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be administered. In the evening, at 7:30, o'clock, there will be a missionary ser vice, consisting of addresses, music and other appropriate exercises. Rev. Mr. Baker, of Salem, perfected the organization of a Baptist Church, in this city, last Sabbath. Seven new members were added to the church, four of whom, as follows, were baptized on that day : Dr. H. Green, Wm. Fergurson, Mrs. Drake and Miss Emma Allphin. FRtrrr Driers. The greatest excitement of the week has been caused by the model Plummer Fruit driers, and samples of fruit, fish and vegetables preserved by this pro cess, on exhibition at the Vincent House, by Messrs. J. J. and Frank Cooper, of Salem. W. S. Plummer, the patentee, was expected np yesterday afternoon. Messrs. Wheal don & Edwards have purchased the county rights of these celebrated machines for Ben ton and Lane counties, and will soon give fruit growers an opportunity of knowing jusff what they propose to do. This machine has the advantage of being a home institution. Apologetic. In' consequence of extra work, occasioned by preparing for and re ceiving an entire new, and extensive job office, we have been unable to devote our usual time to editorial duties, this week. In connection with Mr. W. P. Keady, late of Salem, we have purchased the entire job printing establishment of Mr. D. T. Stanley, lately connected with the Messenger office, Monmouth, and are now ready to do all kinds of plain and ornamental printing on short notice. Further particulars next week. This will account for limited amount of edi torial matter in this issue of Gazette. Indians Arrested. The Portland Stand ard of the 11th inst. says : " From Klamath Agency we learn that Agent Nickerson has arrested ten Indians of the Snake tribe, who are suspected of having taken an active part in, the Bannock war last Summer. They have been accused of. killing horses and cattle, and burning dwellings, and two of them are charged of murder in Warner val ley. The testimony taken at the agency is very strong against the Indians, and also implicates Ochoco and his men in stealing horses and killing cattle. We understand that the testimony has been sent to General Howard and to Camp Bidwell, but have not yet learned what disposition is likely to be made of the case. " ELOCUTIONARY ENTERTAINMENT. Miss Sarah Tuthifl, of New York, whose entertainments are highly eulogized by the Portland press, has consented to give one of her popular readings for the benefit of the Presbyterian church, in Corvallis, this even ing. The Oregon ian reporter, says : "The readings of Miss Tuthill fully justified the numerous eulogistic enconiums of the eas tern press, and we have no hesitation in -saying that the flattering notices which have frequently appeared concerning her aie well merited." The programme for this evening, comprises some of her choicest pieces, and our citizens, who attend, will enjoy a rare treat. Tne object is a worthy one, and we hope to see the church crowded, this evne- ing. Entertainment commences at 7:30 o'clock. Three Cheers for Eugene. The Eu gene Journal of April 12, in speaking of the work of the Blue Ribbon Club, says " What's wrong with our saloons. Three months ago we had eight in full blast and at the present time there are only four. Four of them have blue ribbons on the front door knob." From the Oregonian, April 12. A VOICE FOR FOULWEATHER. I read in your issue of the 7th inst. a com munication on the subject of a harbor of refuge, signed by " Traveler," and I should judge by his reckless statements and his style of argument that he was a lineal de scendant of the celebrated "Arkansas Trav eler," or, perhaps, that ancient gentleman himself. He has discovered a serious objec tion to the bay north of Cape Foulweather on account of its entire bottom being "lit erally filled with large and small boulders." When was the discovery made, and who made it? Nobody except "Traveler," and 1 imagine the largest boulder he ever found was in his hat. He attempts to prove that the bight north of the cape is "to fortune and to fame unknown," arid produces a num ber of names of persons that h say3 were never there. Well, what does that kind of negative testimony prove ? Nothing at all. 1 notice among the names that " Traveler " attempts to array against Foulweather is that of Capt. Winant. Well, Capt. Wiiiant knows a great deal more about Cape Foul weather and the bay north of it, than does "Traveler." Aud here is an extract from an article written lately by him on the sub ject and published in the Alameda Encinal : "To sum up and make this article brief; 1 claim that it (Cape Foulweather) contains such a basin, enclosed by such a reef as set forth in Mr. Habersham's report, and if a harbor of refuge can be constructed at a figure far below the cost of any cher point yet mentioned, it is a matter well worthy the attention of the engineers." And when " Traveler " says that the gen tlemen he has named would scoff at the idea of a port of refuge at Foulweather, in the face of the favorable report of an experi enced engineer and in absence of the fact that they had ever given the place any ex amination or had even been there. I am sat isfied he is nsihg their nairie3 without any authority, and the assertion is about on a par with his assertion " that the interior of our state has sacrificed lives euough for the want of an asylum for vessel s " I would, like to ask " Traveler " when and how the interior of the state ever sacrificed a single life for the want of a harbor of refuge ? And I denounce this charge against the people of the state (or the cow counties, if you choose) as without foundation and utterly false. All that has been done by the j i pie of the iuterior of the state is to nro upon con gress the necessity of an early construction of a harbor of refuge at some suitable point on the coast, so as to prevent the loss of life and property continually occurring from southwest gales.' "This is 1 ad and front of their offending,; it a.:..'.: ' extent and no more. " "Traveler " has also discovered dense fogs at Cape Foulweather. This, like his other brilliant discoveries, was probably made when he was not there. To say that the fogs are any worse off Cape Foulweather than they are at Crescent city, Trinidad, Port Orford, Coos Bay, mouth of the Ump qua, or the mouth of the Columbia, will do to tell to the marines, but it in too thin for an old salt. On the boulder question if "Traveler" will examine the bottom of the roadstead at Port Orford he will find ten boulders where there is one in the bay north of Cape Foul weather. If "Traveler's " idea that a harbor of ref uge cannot be of any benefit to ships if it is to be entered from the southwest, or west, be correct, then the report of Col. Wilson " that the gale3 most dreaded by mariners are from the southwest " is all wrong, for a harbor that a wreck could drift into would be no harbor at all. Notwithstanding the assaults of " Trav eler " and "Shipowner," the facts remain that the bay north of Cape Foulweather is the most avail.acle point for a harbor on the whole coa3t. for the reason that the injury to shipping being caused by southwest gole3. no point south of that would be of any prac tical use, especially when we consider that vessels leaving the Golden Gate must beat five or six hundred miles westward to get the trade winds. That the capacity of the harbor is am-de is shown by Col. Wilson's reeort, said report showing that the harbor wou'd be about a mile long and a third of a mile wide. That it can be built for about one-sixth the cost there that it can at any other point is also shown by the report. If a harbor was constructed at Port Orford at a cost of millions to the government, not one vessel a year would enter there to escape a southwest gale. COASTER. From the Oregonian. THE VOICE FROM JUNCTION CITY. Junction City, April 11, 1879. At a meeting of the citizens of Junction City, held on Thursday evening, April 10th, Hon. C. W. Washburn was elected chair man and J. E. Houston secretary. Mr. Washburn, on taking the chair, stated the obiect of the meeting to be to give expres sion in regard to the location of the harbor of refuge. He then spoke at some length favoring (Jape foulweather as the place, tor the reasons that a breakwater can be con structed at much less expense at this place than any other on the coast making a sate and commodious harbor, and at the same time lessening the cost of transportation on grain and other exports from the Willamette valley, by building up a commercial point that will hasten the completion of the Ya quina railroad. JOL Jr. w. r-o.som was ne called ana made an excellent speech, givi: g some inter esting statistics on the subject, and calling attention to the fact that the most danger ous place, and the one most dreaded by manners, is within the vicmitj of L-ape Foulweather. " The very name Foulwea ther" said he, " is enough to show the ne cessity of having a breakwater constructed within the vicinity of the cape." short speeches were then made by oapt. A. L. Ewing, J. S. George, J. W. Brastield, G. H. Marshall, Judge Thompson. J. M. Shelley and V. Kratz, all favoring foulwea ther as the most suitable place for the said harbor of refuge. A committe of five was then appointed to draft resoulutions on the subject, consisting of Col. F. W. Folsom, J. M. Shelley, J. W. Brasfield, J. E. Houston and John Wort man, and report at a subsequent meeting. On motion the chaitinan was a Ided to the committee. On motion, adjourned to mset at same place next Monday at 7:30 P. M. After adjournment the chairman ordered the proceedings of the meeting sent to the Oregonian for publication. B. R. C The Corvailij Blue Ribbon Club had another very interesting meeting, last Saturday evening, and a large attendance, notwithstanding the unpleasant weather. The address by Dr. H. Green, was both able and entertaining, and well received by the large audience. The Dr. " wheels into line," like an old wheel-horse of temperance. The programme for next Saturday evening, at 7:30, at the Presbyterian church, is as follows : music ; prayer ; music ; address by Hon. F. A.
