Trip to Lebanon and Soda
SpNG.T-Set)d behind a spank
ing pair of horses,, owned and driven
by Mr. R. Custar, in company with
our better half, Mr and Mrs. Kay
mond, and Mrs. Belle Van Cleve,
on Saturday last, we "struck out"
tor Lebanon : and intermediate
points. The weather was warm,
with just enough breeze stirring to
make travel agreeable and pleasant.
We first drove to the fine farm ot
Mr. Custar, about six miles north,
east of this city, where we spent a
pleasant half hour eating delicious
carries, W berries and rasp
berries, an abundance of which we
foubdinthe orchard and garden.
The residence is situated on a high
piece of ground, giving a delightful
view of vast acres of farming- lands
which stretch away to the east and
south almost as far as the eye can
reach , covered with luxurious, waiv
ing grain, and dotted here and there
with neat farm houses and other
evidences of thrift and comfort.
51 r. Custar has lately erected a new
residence, and when he has carried
htto execution his various plans for
improving and adorning, will have
one of the handsomest and most
elegant places in the valley. A
drive of something over ten miles,
through some of the richest portions
ot Linn county, brought us to Leb
anon, a neat and thriving little
village of probably three hundred
inhabitants, where we were hos
pitably entertained for the night at
the only hotel, at present, the San
tiam Hotel, presided over by Mr.
Mossholder and bis worth lady.
We speak advisedly when we say
that Mrs. M., assisted by her
daughters, gets up an elegant and
palatable repast a meal fit for a
king. A few steps trom the hotel
is the hall of Lebanon Lodge No.
47, 1.0.0 F., where we found a
large number Ot three linkers, mem
bers ot Lebanon Lodge, and visit
ing brotbers from Jefferson, Albany,
Junction City, and other points,
among than District Deputy Grand
Master, D. Thompson, preparing
for the public installation of officers.
About four o'clock P. M ., the usual
ordswsirflfernMd,with
lbs LsbiaM brass baud in the lead
and Mr. C, 9, Ralston as Marshal,
and the line of march taken up for
the Santiam Academy, a fine large
edifice in the begincement ot the
village, owned by the Methodists
and presided over by the Rev. Mr.
Nickerson and his estimable lady,
where the installation oeiemonies
transpired. D. Thompson, D. D.
G. M., assisted by H. D. Godley,
G. W.; P. H. Raymond, G. S.;
V. Mauzey, G. T., and Coll. Van
Cleve, G. M., installed the follow
ing named gentlemen as officers ot
Lebanon Lodge for the ensuing
term: F. M. Morgan, Jf. G.; S.
H. Claughton.V.G.; C. H. Ral
ston, R. S. ; P. H. Faell,P. 8.;
S. A. Nickerson, Treasurer; R.
McCalley, C; 0. F. Moist, W.;
J. Elkins, I. G.; H. H. Miller and
J. Bell R. and I S. ot N. G.;
L. Ritter and A. Blue R. and L.
S. ofV. G.; James Settle, L. S.
S. After the' installation ceremo
nies, Rev- Joseph Emery, of Cor
vallis, was introduced, who enter
tained the large audience with an
omtiou that, for deep feeling and
pathos, has hardly been surpassed,
if indeed equalled, by any speaker
on this coast. It was a very able
address, and met the universal ap
proval of all present. The Lebanon
brass band, under the leadership of
Mr. P. H. Farrell, tilled up the
"betweenities" with excellent music,
adding largely to the pleasures of
the occasion. This band, for the
time it has been in existence, plays
well, and bids fair to soon excel
some ot the older bauds of the
State. From the Academy the
Lodge marched back to the ball,
where, after transacting the nec
essary business of the evening, it
adjourned for supper. And right
here we wish to say that for variety
and general excellence in the way
ot eatables, the Sisters ot Rebekab
ot Lebanon, under whose care the
supper was gotten up, don't stand
a peg behind any ot their sisters in
any country. We pronounce the
supper on that occasion perfectly
splendid, aud we are sure that ail
of those who were permitted to par
take of the rich viands so lavishly
spread on that occasion, perfectly
agree with us in the above assertion.
Late in the evening, we had the
pleasure ot assisting to initiate ten
ladies into the mysteries of the
degree of the Daughters of Re
bekab. It was a most pleasant and
sociable occasion throughout, long
to be remembered by all the partic
ipants. Sunday morning bright
and early, we were on the road to
Sodaville, some five miles trom
Lebanon, at the toot of the moun
tains, where is located one ot the
famed soda springs famed tor its
health-giving properties. Arrived
at Sodaville, we were soon domi
ciled at the hotel kept by Mr. H.
D. Godley aud wife, said hotel be
ing situated within a few yards of
the spring. The hotel is not 'he
most el?gaut appearing, externally,
but its interior is presided over by
a hospitable host, and one of the
best little women in the world as
hostess, under whose kind care and
attention one soon forgets "outside
appearances." The soda spring has
often been reteired to in these col
umns, and we shall only say now
that large numbers of people, some
of them from long distances, visit
them during the Summer season
for health and pleasure. Numbers
have purchased lots aud erected
residences thereon, which they oc
cupy two or three months in the
year, for the special purpose of so-

joying the free mountain air and
drinking the sparkling waters of the
spring. There was a large number
of people there last Sunday, an' so
it will be every recurring Sunday
during the Summer season. The
dinner served on that day, to the
patrons of the hotel, was equal to
the best and there were probably a
hundred and fifty persona who sat
down to dinner there on that day.
The universal remark was, "Wasn't
that a splendid dinner?" There are
grounds lor croquet, ana trout are
said to be plentifnl in a little stream

Causelessly Abusive. What
was the incentive to the unwar
rantable and causeless abuse of the
i firemen and citizens of Albany by
j
i the last Corvallis Democrat, we
urn inmronntwl tn olv Km that.
r J
. all the charges made were unfounded
we have the best of evidence. The
. , , .
eaiiors certainty must, naye oeen
imposed upon, for all of Corvallis'
occasion, had been made by Albany
Fire Company, aud they were, in- j
vited to partake. Albany Fire i
Company or the citizens of Albany
' never have been found lacking in
liberality or courtesy to guests, aud
on the occasion of which complaint
is made, special pains had been
taken to entertain in good shape all
who came trom our sister city.
We cannot believe that the ma-
nt. Moln.o Illinois came un on Mon
day night's boat. They were the
first arrival of the lot of wagons
saving one.
Jerry Luckey, of Eastern Oregon, i
was in the city on Wednesday.
He brought with him specimens of
wool from his large baud ot sheep, j
He sheared sixteen hundred and .
fifty sheep, obtaining ten thousand i
pounds of wool. His band is made

His experience is that the mixed

three quarters cotswold, make the
