The team of Clyde Beach indulg ed in an animated spin last Satur day at noon. Mr. Ueach had just unloaded some milk and cream at the Corvallis Creamery when the whistle of that institution announced th hour of twelve. This was too mnch for Clvde's fractious steeds and thev started on a tour without their owner's chaperonage. They laid their course due north and had only proceeded as far as the Sheas- oroon and mix ton mm. some iiuy yards or such a matter, when the wncron turned so nearly over mat thinsr in it was SDilled out. The" horses broke away from the vehicle at this point aud continued their flight, to be captured later. The harness was pretty badly used nn nd the tonsrue of the wagon broken. The whole affair was bad for Mr. Beach, but he mav be thanktul that it did not turn out even more disastrously. For the first time in the his tory of the state a great trans continental railroad has entered upon a systematic campaign for the settlement of Oregon. Pre liminary to the inauguration of this movement, a party of promi nent railway omciais nave oeen touring the state for the purpose of acquainting the people "with . t i. the ways ana means wmcu aic iu be employed and to enlist local ;J co-operation. In the party are G. M. Mc Kinney, of Chicago, general im migration agent for the Ham- man system, Messrs. -Mackenzie. H. A. Townsend, W. H. Burke, T. A. Kruse, I. A. Conk lin, R. M. Hall, Adv. Agt. O. R. N. lines, V. E. Coman, Lr. P. A. for S. P. Co., J. P. Jones, T. P. A., J. H. O'Niel, T. P. A., H. E. Lonsbury, T. F. A. A special train bearing these gentlemen arrived in Corvallis Friday morning. They were met at the depot with carriages, whence they were taken to the college farm, where they were shown the various buildings and about the grounds. A public meeting was held at the city hall at ii o'clock, at -which time Mr. McKinney addressed the business men in attendance. The speaker was introduced by Prof. E. R. Lake. Mr. McKinney began by saying that he was familiar with the climate and resources of all the states of the Northwest and that Oregon surpassed all others in both particulars. For a num ber of vears it was his business to enrnin-nore immigration . to the state of Washineton, and no lit erature concerning the state of Washington was ever permitted to come to light daring that time if he could prevent it. "There has been a systematic effort," said he, "to keep Oregon in the background, but her opportunity is now here. All that is neces sary to have this state make great bounds in commercial and industrial growth is the co-opera-tmn nf her teonle in the work proposed by the Harriman syndi cate. " Mr. McKinney is the head of the immigration bureau of the rTarrimnn railwav svstem. and his headquarters will be at Chi cafro. The plan ot operation will be this: Agents will be the cities of Des Moines. Indianapolis, Chicago, Pittsburcr and Louisville. These cities will be their headquarters. From them thev will visit tne various towns in their territory, and become acquainted with the namfs' nf nersons who are con- temolatinff a change of location L . T.ists of these names will be sent to Mr. McKinney' s headquarters at Chicago, and the prospective immigrant will have placed in his hand literature setting forth in general terms the advantages offered by the state of Oregon. Literature setting iorth the ad vantages of any particular sec tion must he rrovided bv tne people of that section. For in- stance, if the people ot .Beaton t county wish to attract setllers to this locality, they should have printed 50,000 or 100,000 pamph lets descriptive of this county and its resources and turn them over to the agent of the S. P. company at Corvallis. They will be sent to Chicago and dis tributed free of charge. No such opportunity has ever bean offered to the people of Oregon Mr. McKihnev predicts tnat within the next five years 100,000 that he was going west, he did not stat at the time the exact point oi his destination, nor definitely his business. It appears that a complication had arisen over the right, title and possession of the grain ware house at Philomath. - The ware house was leased bv the C. & E. R. R. Co. to W. A.

Somers is pretty well acquainted in this locality, navmg prac ticed law in this city several vears ago.
