1HE OCRVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1891. I s Highest of all in Leavening Power. ABSOLUTELY PURE OREGON WEATHER REPORT. TOR WESTERN OREGON, FOR WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1891. The weather has been cool and cloudy and general rains have fallen. Frosts occured in various portions on September 27th and 2$th. Snow fell on Mary's Peak, Benton county, on the 29th, the first : of the season. The temper ature averege three degrees a day below the normal. Over one-half ot an inch of rain fell during the week. CROPS. The frosts nipped a few tomato and , other vines, but did no ser ious damage. Some oats and wheat that were not thresh ed, were slightly damaged by the rains. Plowing on stubble land was commenced and considerable summer fallowed wheat has been sown. Potatoes are being dug and the yield is very large. Apples and pears are be ing picked. The grass is growing nicely and affords good pasture. Grape picking and wine making will begin next week in some of the southern counties. Some Corrections. Most of ou readers will probably remember the article on early days which the Gazette published in its issue of July 31st, 1S91, furnished us by Mr. Ash by Pierce, whose biography the article contained. A few mistakes occurred in the statements made and we have been requested to correct them. The first one reads like this: "In M.ircli 1847, he (Mr. Pierce) joined Nathaniel Brown's train and started for Oregon." Brown's should have been Bowman's. The next one rends: "In 1847 he came to Benton county, and located on the farm now owned by Caleb Davis, which is some five miles west of this city."' Mr. ' Pierce came to Corvallis that year to locate, but he found his claim was taken by other parties, so he returned to Linn county, where he remained till 1849, when he went to California in search of gold. The third mistake is: "At that time (1850) Corvallis had never been thought of." But it was. Mr. Avery's house was built in the spring of 1850, and goods were being sold three months before. Speaking about freight rates, the state ment was made that competition be tween the river b ats from Corvallis to Portland reduced freight from $10 to $6 per ton. Il should have been tint the introduction of railroads brought it down to $6, and the O. & C. railroad was completed up the val ley, when freight was carried as low as $3 and $4 per ton. We regret the occurrence of the mistakes, and we trust that these will be satisfactory cor rections. AN INTERESTING BOOK. The well-known writer and historian Mr. J. W. Buel, author of "The Beauti ful Story," '-The Story of Man," "The Living World," "Russia an,d Siberia," etc., lias just completed what is probab ly the greatest of his works, entitled "Heroes of Unknown Seas and Savage Lands." The work is a complete re coid of the discovery of all lands, and contains descriptions of the first visits made by Europeans to the wild races of the world. The descriptions of the superstitions appertaining to the sea and the obstacles which strange beliefs opposed to extend voyages are most in teresting and instructive. The work also comprises an authentic history of the discovery of America by the Viking Sea-Rovers, and its settlement by the Scandinavians in the ninth century. It is supplemented with thrilling nar ratives of voyages, discoveries, adven tures, battles, darings and sufferings of all the heroic characters and bold ex plorers who have made ocean history and who have established supremacy over the most savage lands of the earth. The book, which is a most instructive and eutertaining one from cover to cover, contains 600 large quarto pages, and is eml-ellished with more than 300 original eai avians and several large double-"p;ge colored pl-nes, liiawn es pecially for the work by the most fa mous artists of the day. It is elegant ly bound and b a book which should oert iiuJ; rin j a jl;n-fi in Jv-ry family, The Poimmon Publishing Co., of Van U. S.
