Each person getting one of these statements by examining tbe date near the bottom can readily ascertain the time to which tho amount in each case will pay them to.

It is the intention of the railroad compa ny to soon put most of their force of work men to work on the end of the road next to the Yaquina bay, probably about next week. The late rains have somewhat materially interfered with work on the O. P. R. R., yet the work is still proressiug as rapidly as possibly could be expected. The Linn couuty fair at Albtny la3t week was rather light, as we are informed the weather was cloudy and the attendance small though a very good display in thd pa-villion- We are informed that a certain widow in this city has a yery neatly works 1 motto displayed in her parlor learing this inscrip tion: "What is home without a husband."

Dr. Lee says he knows who the "meosely cur" is that sto:e his rubber b anket, aud that if he does not return the same he (the Dr.) will publish his ancestry and give a complete diagnosis of his moral, physical and coinnierci.il condition. Ta.it fellow bad better bring the blanket home. A number of gentlemen from Germ ny , and reported to be interested iu the Vilurd Railroads on ths coast, came up from Albany Tuesday aud passed down on the West side They had been over the whole route to Roseburg on the East side. We took the trouble to count the passen gers on the Albany stage one day this week, and counted twelve and yet the load did not seem to be greater than usual, this is the way people come to Cory iliis to say nothing of the train which is now seldom more than 30 or 40 minutes behind its advertised time. On Sundey evening as the family of Mr. George Johnson, of Dry creek, Umatilla county, were sitting down to supper, their little girl, aged two and a half yeais, stumbled over a coffee pot which stood upon the floor. It scalded the poor little creature so badly that she expired after lingering twenty hours. On last Friday night the city Council ordered the marshal to enforce the Sunday law by arresting anyone who should violate the provisions by opening their doors. The result was a more, than Sabbath calm on Main street. No arrests were made as our business men are all law abiding gentlemen. Quite a serious quarrel occurred between two of our prominent citizens in this city last Saturday which came near ending in blows, if not more serious, but as one want ed to fight before dinner and the other after, they did not fight at all, and we are inform ed that their differences are now amicably settled. Opening Dat. Mrs. Kelly will have a grand opening day at her Millinery store tomorrow to which all are invited. Her tine stock of new goods will be arranged with special regard to display, and her patrons can thns have an 'excellent op portunity of seeing what she keeps in stock. Thkown from a Horse. Last Friday evening Elmer Morris, son of J. H. Morris living on soap creek, aged about 18 years while returning home from Albany and only a short distance from the ferry at that place was thrown from bis horse tailing with great violence on a feuce by the road side, he was immediately taken back to the Revere House at Albauy. Dr. Lee was summoned from tSis place and from him we learn that the injuries are mostly internal and very serious, in fact at our last inquiry the Dr. feared they might be fatal. "iTEW G30D3 1 Mrs. Eelley has moved into her new store and opened with the most complete stock of new millinery goods ever kept in the city. She makes a specialty of ladies' furnishing goods, cloaks and dolmans, keeping a com plete stock i:f the very best in the market. Also Ia-iics' ulsters and fur trimmings con stantly in stock. Feather pillows, a nice line of glassware, and all kinds of childrens' goods. Ladies are especially invited to cull and examine before purchasing elsewhere. Alsea Bay. Our valued friend Thomas Russell, Esq., of Lower Alsea was in town Wednesday. Mr. R. iuforms us that the country around Alsea bay is rapidly tilling up with settlers and that that portion of the moral vineyard will soon be a very im portant part of Benton couuty, and from the reputed character of the soil and other natural advantages including an outlet to the ocean sufficient for the passage of vessels of considerable tonnage and capable of improvement that will admit alniott any steamer, we have the utmost confidence that friend Russell will soon see his -hopes for the Alsea future full verified. PHILOMATH. The ministers are all away attending the U. B. conference that is' beicg held in Wash, ington Ty. The pulpit w is ably filled on last Sunday at 11 o'clock by Prof. Stanly of Monmouth, and in the evening by Rev. J. A. Hanna of your city. The roads are lined with . wheat wagons going to Corvallis to store thiir wheat in order to send it away to the markets of the world by the long circuitous and expensive route "ia Portland. How much better and cheaper it will be when the railroad is completed to the sea for the farmer to send their grain out that way. Depots will be established all along to load at convenient distances, so that the old time way of teaming trough the mud will be a thing of the past. The hills and valleys now unoccupied will be settled up with an indus trious people, and the wilderness wili be made to blossom as the rose. Oregon is rising and occupi.es a prominent place iu the great constellation of states that ma ke up our union. Her resources are just beginning t j be developed. Sunday evening a g3naral row and free--fight occurredva't 'Hodges saloon about one mile from Philomath in whiili a hurabsr of persons were badly braised and beaten up. The difficulty grew out of a dispute, as to who should treat, a few harsh woids were passed, when the tight commenced six cr ciht persons were knocked down among them Mr. Hode who recjive.la sever j gash upon the top of his head; after falling to the floar the old mm crawled into the room where his wife was in order to be out of danger. Soma of our town boys were there but wh in th ;y saw tlio tight in full blast, took to their heels an 1 ran home. and with bated breath tol.i what they had seen. They were not used to thi3 kiud of fighting and thought it was awful; one of them in the fracus got too or three licks over the head. This is what is termed in Irish wake all can engage in it that wish to. Correspondent. Yaquina Bay Harbor Impravesasat Fund.

It . is particularly incumbent upon the physician to observe and study tbe hygienic condition of the community wherein he resides; to point out matters of a common interest regarding the health producing and contaminating influ ences of the same. The situation of Corvallis is one of the mout healthful in the Willamette Valley; being high, in ranse of the delightful and refreshing sea breeze, naturally drained and surrounded by no marsh, or malarial pro ducing regions. With these favored points we are required to look within the corporate limits of the city for the subject of our remarks. Of course this town is not of sufficient size to warrant the expense of a complete system of sewerage; but that does not afford a shadow of tea excuse for the amount of negligence that we are often reminded of in massing along the street, when a gust of foul air meets our olfactories; doubtless emanating from a cesspool formed by a sink outlet, or other decomposing matter allowed to accumulate. Yet this does not meet our approbrium so much as the disgusting appearance of a water closet, seemingly lifted from its base by the excrements projecting from beneath it. Some of these buildings we learn have not been cleaned inside of five years. What i3 the effect of foul air or noxious gas upon the health. , Air is a part of our daily food, and by far the most important part; a man can live on seven meals a week, aud survive the warmest summer day with seven draughts of water, but his supply of air has to be renewed at least fourteen thousand times in the twenty-four hours. Every breath We draw is a draught of fresh oxygen, every emission of breath is an evacuation of easeous recrements. The purity of our blood depends chiefly on the air we breath, for in the labratory of the lungs the atmospheric air b brought in contact at each respiration with the fluids of the venous and arterial systems, which circulate it through the entire body; hence can be easily seen the reason for the longevity of hunters and herders, who breath the pure air, which is a prophytaris of disease as well as a promoter of health. The next and we think the most import ant factor of our theme is the consideration of water. Water is the great vehicle of nature, it constitutes "four-fifths of the animal economy. Man has been facetiously described as twelve pounds of flesh wet up iu six pails of water; all plumpness of flesh and fairness of cheek are given by the juices of the system; a few ounces of water causes the physical difference between the round rosy face of sixteen aud the wrinkled, withered features of seventy, Man requires about three-fourths of a ton anually. Since water is the groat carrier of nature and enters so largely into, the composition of our bodies, what are the probabilities of its effects on the health if impure and holding in solution the germs of disease. The rainy season is coming on, the. surface will be,, saturated with water, the water will rise and fall in the pits of water closets; a witer closet has been. . known, to contam inate a well- with -the typhoid fever, germ at a distance of six, hundred feci, .What 'are the chances of a well escaping, with a house barn, water closet and well all crowded on one lot 50x100. "' ' . ' This is a matter that interests all alike, and demands the attention of municipal law, What remedy can be suggested: that all water closets be constructed with a ventilator and movable box, or water tight pit, that no decomposing matter be allowed to lay about on vacant lots or alleys. Think of it, shall Corvallis be known as a filthy town or not. Yaquina Bay Harbor Improvement The works are progressing well. The breakwater was out 4S0 feet from its shore end on Saturday last. It had been tested by a severe equinoctial storm three days before, and the engineers looked with some anxiety the next morn'ng to see if any dam axe had been done to the unfished work. They found none: not one brush' mattrass had moved, none of the rock coverings hail been disturbed. But, on the contrary, the heavy waves had brought and piled in from. four to five feet of sand on each side of the work, strengthening and solidifying the whole, and giving the best possible promise for the entire success of the structure. The July and Angnst number of the Resources of Oregon and Washington has been on our table for some days. This work is devoted to the developement of the Pacific North-west. We have just finished examining it and are compelled to pronounce it an able work in its chosen line, It is a good periodical to send to friends in the east in order to give them an idea of tbie donntry. TELEGRAMS, We are creditably informed that two of the Hinton's living at or near Monroe, went out on a bear hunt last Friday and on that day killed two and on the following, Satur day, seven, making in all nine bears for two days work for two mm, one of which is re ported to be the largest bear ever killed in that section of country. W . D. Crow former Editor of the Dayton News, and J. M. Hunt connected with the O. R. Sc. N. Co. from the same place were in the city yesterday looking at the country, both are very pleasant gentlemen and should this prospecting tour be for the purpose of selecting new homes we would be glad to welcome both to our midst as permanent citizens. -i Miss Dorena and Rosa Jacobs, and M. S. Neugass of this' city, went "to Portland Tues day, to attend the -wedding of Miss Bertha Mayer of that city. DIED. Mrs. Elizabeth Pygall died in the 75th year of her age on last Sunday morning the 2nd inst., after quite a lengthy and severe illness, at the residence of her son in this place. Miss Elizabeth Owens was born October 10th, 1806, at Camarver Anglesea, Wales, where she was educated by her uncle, Bishop Hughes, and by him confirmed at the age of fourteen in the Episcopal church. She was married in London, England, Aug. 16th 1835, to Samuel Pygall, from whence they emigrated in the following year to this coun try am' settled in New York. Her compan ion having died July 15th, 1872, she came to this coast with her son Albert Pygall in 1878, with whom she has resided a greater portion of tbe time since in this place and the remainder of the time at Newport, in this county, with her daughter Mrs. George Steve is. She lived and died a faithful and consistent christian. Washington, Sept. 30. The Star route ring is demoralized. They feel that light ning is about to strike them, but don't know just how or where it will hit. Postmaster General James and Mac Veangh have evi ' dence enough, they are satisfied, to convict the ring and there is to ' be no 'delay in tbe prosecution. Bliss submitted indictments which he had carefully drawn against Brady, Dorsey, McGrew,' ex -Chief clerk French, Saulsbury, Gilmer and other star route contractors and beneficiaries' of the riii; . Bliss stated he would p'edge his professional reputation upon conviction, and these in dictments vill be placed immediately in District Attorney Corkhihll's hands for presentment to tne graud jury. All the officials concerned in the prosecution main tain Oorkhill has obstructed their progress from the first, and therefore was determined to prepare all papers of presentment fully and keep them in his hands, So that all he will have to do will be to submit them to tbe grand jury. This is why Bliss drew up the papers. The prompt and determined stand of President Arthur in favor of vigor ous prosecution, has demoralized and dis mayed the ring leaders, who has kept weak ones silent, by assuring them if Arthur be came president, the whol matter should be immediately quashed. As soon ta it was proper after the death of Garfield James aud Mac Veangh had an interview with the j (resident about the star ronte matter. The president had already declined for the time being to accept the resignations of the. cabinet and had requested them to continue in the discharge of their duties just as tiiey would have done had President Ganield survived. President Arthur assured James and MaeVeaugh that there must be no mistake as to his purpose toward i all. persons who had been guilty of fraud towa-d the government If there had been a stir route ring and the government had been "defrauded, he wanted the guiky party pan ished. Arthur assured James it was his earnest desire for him to remain where he was and conduct the department as he had done since he took charge of it, adding that the whole country had appiaudded James' administration. One of the highest officials of the p.ist office department said in the past thirty hours that the several persons connected with the ring had surrendered and turned state's evidence. It is pietty well under stood that Walsh formerly of New Orleans, who brought a few months ago several suits against Brady for the recovery of money is one of them. The government will conclu sively prove a conspiracy and unless some of the accused try and jump the country they will probably be in a tight place before long. The action of President Arthur in removing Starr, postmaster at Deadwood, was a revalation to the ring. The star route ring did not know Starr had made a written confession detailing the fradulent operations of the ring in the northwest .for some months past. One of tbe most efficient inspectors of the postoffice department has been secretly investigating the management of the Deadwood postonice. and wlieu he confronted the postmaster with his proofs the latter confessed. The document charges tho alleged conspirators with defrauding the government out of 350,000. One of the counsel for the government said papers were in active preparation to be presented against ex-Senator Dorsey and several other per sons who hold office under the government, and that the counsel engaged in prosecuting the star route cases intend to proceed against them as fast as formal papers can be got ready. London.

A New York special says: The struggle agaiust Mr. Conkhng in the republican ranks of the state still con tinues without abatement.. The anti-Conk-linir men are certain at present that taking thp state as a whole they are larffily in the majority and opposition tohhe ex senator's dictation will undoubtedly be made very emphatic when the time arrives. New York, Oct. 1. Tribune: Adopting the present estimates in Mew Yorjc ana Brooklyn of 331 delegates elected or assured by the primaries, the Garfield republicans have 104 and the Conkling republicans 116 with the remainder in doubt.

It is reported that he has disc ivered two large seams of anthracite coal in tbe mountains back of dowichan. '-:"" Chicago, Cct 2. A Times Washington special says: From a trustworthy source tbe Times correspondent has learned tbe true history of what he called Mr. Arthur to New York, and has also indicated some results that will propably follow the visit In the first place there will be a new cab inet, as it is . now believed he will make a clean sweep of Garfield's advisers when the proper time cc mes. ' Mr. Arthur went, with the main purpose of seeing what could be done to harmonize the republican factions in th it state. It has ben represented that he can by fair treatment harmonize tbe elements of his party from tbe start, and has professed an entire willingness to do all he can. It is among the probabilities, if j the present plans succeed, that Robertson will be allowed to remain as collector while the half-breeds will be given such consider ation as will ensure their support ef the administration. It is understood Senator Johns, Logan, Simon Cameron and others best politicians, in the state and now has unusual facilities for healing old wounds, and if reports are to be credited he has al ready a good prospect ot success. As matters now stand Conkling will riot be offered a plaoe in the cabinet. It is felt that his selection as a cabinet officer would be to unpopular. Judge Lapham Signalized his willingness to resign to. make a' place for Conkling,' with the understanding that it is to be made up' tohim. If he does resign he will probably be offered the post of attorney general or eke a leading foreign mission. At the republican primaries to-night to choose delegates to the. republican state convention the socalled Conklingites carried all the assembly districts except the ninth. People identified with the administration of Garbeld as against Conkling claim to have carried Brooklyn. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 2. The programme for the opening ceremonies of the interna tional cotton exposition are just out There is an elaborate programme. Governor H. H. Colquitt, the president Will receive the buildings and grounds on behalf of the exposition. Hon, Z. B. ' Vauce, of North Carolina, will welcome the cuests to the south. Hon D, W. Voorhees,, and others of national fame, will deliver addresses, etc. A large part of Talmage's sermon yester lav was upon Moruionisin.- He said: "It needed a father aud a husband like Garfield to understand the value of a Christian home and to annihilate the abomination of Mor- monism. Perhaps the time ban not yet come; perhaps it- was necessary that a' na tion's indignation should be aroused to a greater pitch ot anger against Mormonism before the extirpation would be attempted. I will not say that G.iiteau was a Mormon, nor would I dare to soy he was not; . but Guiteau says be shot G afield in the name of the Lord. If he was not a Mormon, be was one of the Oneida caramunity, whote chief doctrine was the right to a profusion of wives. He had the .spirit of Mormon licentiousness, of Mormon ciuelty and Mormon murder. I should not Wonder if in the great day when all such thiugs are revealed, it shall be found lhat ho was the paid agent of that old hog which sits making mouths at high heaven between the Rocky mountains and Sierra Nevadas." New York. Oci. 4. Collector Robertson stated to a reporter that he was not at all uneasy about the result of the coming' con vention. Our. people, he remarked, have elected a clear majority of the delegates, and I carmot for a moment share in the ap prehension that there will be a resort to any sharp practice that would defeat the will of f ), nailAla on r-lu r' V VlirP3l)l imicll lpSA to oust such number of members as would place the control of the convention- in the hands of men whom the people have declared tbey are unwilling to trust. Such a result would be a downright farce and would be met by the righteons indignation of the re publican party throughout the- state.- The enUector said that we are not fichtine the president or his administration.
