W. Freil informs us that unusually large fires have been devastating the forests of 1' Jounce rock precinct, says the Jackson vine 1 tmcs. In most cases reckless hunt ers have been the cause of this wanton de struction there as well as elsewhere. This is tne time of year that we ought to be most careful with fires, after having stood all summer the stove pipes and chim neys are more liable to catch on Are from theoldsut that has laid in them. This should be attended to and the chimneys ex amined before it is too late. The latest rumors from Josephine county are to the effect that parties representing Eastern capitalists have purchased the cop per mines m the vicinity of Waldo, and that several men are now encaged in nros Himu xl is ueiievea mat tnere is a large deposit of ore that will, pay well Railroad Accident. The south bound train last Wednesday afternoon on the west side roatl about half a mile below Mount View station found a cow upon tne tracK wnicn prefered to give the locomotive a chase rather than step to one . side. The whistle was sounded to scare the dumb brute away which signal was unheeded until the animal fell through as usual and instead of stopping the train they attempted to run over the animal which resulted in throwing off the engine and several box cars, which delayed the train until about seven o'clock this morn ing before it got in. The Legislature which is now in session should pass a law with severe penalties for noncompliance, requir mg railroad companies to fence their track and then they should pass another law with like penalties for punishing the employees of such companies for running over ani mals on the track and thus endangering the lite of all passengers aboard of their trains. If the company officials were placed upon the cars at such times in place of passengers whose lives were at risk, but few animals would be run over. Severe punishment for a reckless disregard of life and property is the only wholesome manner in which successfully to prevent such accidents. The Eight of lnterferan.ee. Frequently the question is asked, "what right have you to interfere with what a man eats, drinks, or wears?" just as though the prohibition of the manufacture, sale and use of intoxicating drinks is the first and only instance where law steps in and interferes with the citizen's private judgment and right of self control. It is a fact, however, that the general government, the state, in corporated cities and towns of our nation do assume to control and regulate the manufac- ure and sale of ' 'what some Deoole drink trge quantities of. The law fixes the quan tity even and says who are not proper sub- ects to sell to. The principal of iuterfer- ance with questionable occupations, with methods of procuring the enemies of honest industry by one set of men from their fellow men has been, is and always will be in all ell regulated governments, an acknowl edged right. The law forbids the druggist selling pois on without marking it "poison" and if the druggist is aware that the purchaser wants for suicidal or homicidal purposes, he is not justified iu selling it. The law dictates to the citizens of some cities how they shall build their houses, of what kind of material even. The law contemplates the general good. Prohibition!" Success In Life. Hard work and judicious economy of strength, time and money, are the secrets of success in life. Luck does not count for so much as many people suppose. Acciden tal circumstances, as regards time and place, of course, contributes much to sue llff 1 A -L 1 1-1 1 coas in me, out it may rje laid down as a general rule, that men who seem to be suc cessful, have not attained to eminence with out intense and continued thought and pei severance. A stickling about houra of work is obstructive of all success beyond a humble mediocrity. Never was there a truer word uttered than that "the hand of the dilligent maketh rich." In no depart ment of life do men rise to eminence who have not undergone a long and diligent pre paration; for whatever may be the differ ence in the mental power of individuals, it is the cultivation of the mind alone that leads to distinction. Every young man who is ambitious of success must be willin to work for it. He must prepare himself for it by systematic training, and then he may rest assured that he will seldom fail of accomplishing it. It is an ill-founded : tion to say that merit in the long run neglected. Don t tear that lor a moment. Educate yourself practically and usefully. then be dilligent and faithful in your work ami rest assured mat 3'ou will nave every chance of a brilliant success. Ex. Where is Butcher? The above question has not been answered but a similar one has met with a response. The answer came from Jas. Hays of this Place.

Why Will people continue to use blank envelopes, letter heads and bill heads, when they can get printed heads and envelopes at the Gazette office in the most approved style at only a little more than the cost of paper and about what they buy them by retail. Mellons, peaches, pears, tomatoes, apples, grapes, and a general variety of ail other kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables in great -abundance to be found cheap at A.J. Lang--worthy's Cash Store. The Corvallis Gazette is one of the best advertising mediums in Oregon, because it goes to a large paying list of subscribers who are able to buy and pay for any article they see advertised if they want it. Why will people continue to use plain envelopes, letter and bill paper, when they can get them with a nice stylish business card or liead printed thereon at the Gazette office at about what it costs to buy the blank material at retail.

JMAJMNOb At Independence, Oregon last tnday evening, the 15th inst., Zella Stannus, aged about seven years, the eldest daughter of Eva and Leander Stan nnus.

The funeral ceremonies took place at calvary fresbyterian church, Independence. Rev. A ..11 or it- ... . Auiuouy oimpson omciating. me remains were buried in the Monmouth burial ground. Mrs. n,va btannus was with her two little daughters at the time of this sad bereave ment visiting at the Belt house, the resi deuce of her husbands parents, the hus band being at home in Idaho which circum stance added to the sadness of the affliction; but it will doubtless be a comfort to him to know that his wife and children were sur rounded by kmd and sympathising friends wno did everything in their power to miti gate the severity of their grief. The younger child of Mr3. Stannus who has also been quite sick is now in a fair way of recovery. Arrival from Russia.

A shooting and cutting scrape occured in Jacksonville on last Sunday night about 11 o'clock between AVm. Colwell and Charles Hanna, in which the latter was shot in the head and afterwards had his throat cut. Hanna was shot just below the left eye, the ball ranging downward and it is report ed in the back part of the head. The most cowardly part of the affray was when anoth er man, named Charles Dodson, a stranger there, rushed in and cut Hanna's throat after he was shot and had fallen to the ground. Although seriously wounded Hanna's chances of recovery are better now than at first supposed. Both of the assail ants are in jail. A Great Change. Dr. J. K. Bayley returned home from a protracted visit to the bay last Saturday. He looks much refreshed and in fact the in vigorating sea breeze has the effect to make the Dr. look quite corpulent so much has his appearance changed in that particular that many of his friends at a distance hard ly knew whether it was a country squire or a live picture of Fallstaff which they saw walking up street on Monday morning.

JYl. IS. U1SL,1j, 161 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, Md. 10:2yl Ford, War in Egypt. Cairo, Sept. 17. Araba Pasha says he was compelled to fight against his will. He maintains a calm, resolute demeanor. Arabi informed General Lowe he trusted himself to English honor, as a soldier whose army had been defeated. Gen. Lowe re plied he could not discuss the question of war, bos only mission being to arrest him. Arabi considers DeLesseps shamefully be trayed the national Egyptian party who de pended upon his assurances that he would prevent any landing of troops or war ma terial by way of the canal. British troops are everywhere well received, even in na tive quarters. A number of Egyptian levies are leaving for home, in many cases taking their Remington rifles. Throughout the campaign Egyptians had a complete system of spies in Alexandria and Ismailia. The rebels expected the British would at tack Telel Kebir at midnight and they re mained on their trenches all night. This shows the attack was not a surprise. Alexandria, 18.

One en tire regiment with arms marched off east ward and joined Abdalla Pasha at Dam ietta, and the remainder of the first detach ment, about 150 men, reached Kafr el Dwar THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE" Clubbed with other publications with which we have mad-? arrangements, so that persons wishing an Eastern paper can secure the- same, together with the Corvallis Gazettf, at a price but little more than one; post age prepaid.
