Tie Ttlepkoae.
Last Sabliath the greatest invention, next
ta telegraphy, of tho age tho Telephone
was put ia experimental operation in Oregon.
The telephspU line between Tortland and
Eosuburg was utilised for the purpose, and
the experiment proved a complete and r
markaWe snceesa. . There were three offices
where the aottnd was taken, viz : Portland,
Albany and Rosebnrg, and the testa made by
a large class of curious pimple at each station
prored conclusively that this great discovery
would be of vast benefit to people within it
reach. Superintendent Lamb at Portland,
Mr. C. B. Flummer at Albany and Dr.
Hamilton at Rosebnrg were the chief engi
neers of the concern, and the way they and
their friends passed, "by word of month,"
friesul'y greetings, snng songs of praise and
rendered instrumental solos on various in
strument!, which were hoard distinctly at
the stations whre taken, perfectly astonish
ed even the favored few who had tho oppor-
taoity of "taking it in." Several of the
loading citiiens of Albany stosd in Dr.
Plummer's office at Albany and freely eon
versed with their friends at Portland and
Rossburg, while ladies exchanged greetings
and gossiped of the ve; .her and fashions at
at their respective localities. - It was indeed
amusing to hear one lady at Albany, after
having been introduced to a lady at Portland,
asy, "How is the weather down there?" and
the answer come promptly and distinctly
back, "Oh, it is a lovely day here; how is it
at Albany?"
This is indeed a most remark abl a stride in
in the line of science and invention, and when
perfected will, we are satisfied, be utilized
to the exclusion of the more enmbroaa and
expansive mode of telegraphy now in vogue.
To Mr. Pinmmer sad his gentlemanly as
sistants at the telegraph office, v e are in
debted for a rare treat on this, the occasion
of the introduction of telephone ia Oregon.

.1 Special Term.
The question of petitioning for a special
term of Circuit Coart for this eounty is be
ing talked of among onr county officers and
the legal fraternity, and is looked upon with
favor by a great many. The-e are already
five canaidates for the penitentiary lying in
our jail, three of whom have plead guilty,
and the testimony against the other two is so
strong that they might as well adopt the
same line of action. Besides these cases
' there are quite a number of others which
would be brought up at the same time. We
could not say whether the special term would
be a matter of economy to the county or not,
but if those who are posted in such affairs
think it would be, let us have it by all
means.
The Severe Utsn.
This house, although only having run a
few months, is getting to be a very popular
resort for travelers, on account of the clean
liness of the house, and the extremely good
tables, loaded with everything the market
affords. Another attraction is the comfort
able spring beds found ia every room in the
house. The third story is now finished and
furnished, and the proprietors have room for
a few more boarders. Look at their card
which we publish this week.

B'ight and early last Friday morning onr
city was astir, and at 8 o'clock the City of
Salem, loaded down to the guards with living
freight, (teamed away from onr wharves for
Corrallis. In due tune the boat arrived at
its destination and onr people were met at
the wharves and welcomed by near the en
tire population of oar sistei-city. After the
excursionist gained terra jima a prose
sion was formed, and after marching around
considerably the immense crowd was collect
ed together in the grove in the Court House
block. The audience was then regaled by
fine addresses from Judge Chenoweth, W.
3. McFadden, and others, and also had the
opportunity of hearing some soul-inspiring
music from the Corvallis and Albany bands.
In this way time flew by fast until the 6th
order of exercises cams around. This was
"jrrnb," and well did the Corvallis folks up
hold their reputation for hospitality in pro
viding refreshments for our people. Many
of the excnrsion'sts had taken along with
them small commissary outfits, but their
Corvallis bretherea would not allow a single
Albany basket to be opened, but packed every.
body off to the tables they had prepared and
then treated their guests in such a manner
as to make more than one button fly from its
place on the . waist-band. In fact our folks
were fed in such a wholesale manner that it
was with intense satisfaction that the heard
"Toasts," announced as the 7th order of ex-
ercises, knowing that they would then have
an opportunity of sitting down and recover
ing the strength they had lost in working
their jaws. After quite a number of neat
little speeches had been made the firemen
"manned the ropes" on Linn's steamer and
repaired to a cistern on Main street for prac
tice. Steam was soon np and the "Little
(riant" threw two as pretty streams of water
as ever a fireman looked at. Aftor this was
over theJCorvallis "Hooks" came out and
gave the people an exhibition of what they
could do, and we must say they are as well
up in their work as any hook and ladder
company we have ever seen. "Big Six"
was then "manned" by nearly every red
shirted fellow in each department, and
though she is a big ungainly looking thing,
her action seemed to be very good when the
brakes were well rilled, The valves were oat
of order and for soma little time nothing
could be got ont of her but wind, but finally
the water started, and then two lengths of
hose burs ted and she was housed, with
out our folks getting a goed . opportunity of
seeing what she could do. At the close of
the drill all the firemen conereirated at the
Hooks hall and had a centime love feast.
and when eur boys started for the boat ahort-
crowd that did not feel that Corvallis was
not only fully entitled to the Yaqnina
Railroad, but also the West Side Road, the
Northern Pacific, the Atlantic Cable, Santi-
a Canal, and "everything else that could be
bestowed upon them by the intelligent peo
ple of the L nited States. After eur engine
was put aboard, all the excursionists had been
gathered in, the boat started for Albany and
arrived in good time. Thus closed one of
the most pleasant days ever experienced by
any person in our excursion party- Every
thing passed off just as pleasantly as possible,
and that day can never be mentioned to Al
banians without causing them to remember
with what princely hospitality they were en
tertained by their red-shirted boys of their
sister eity.
Wheat Thieves.
Last week we had a local about three hog
thieves, and this week we will have to
write one about wheat thieves. A short
time ago Charles Logan, Duran Boggs
and a young man named Eslick stole about
sixty bushels of wheat from a granary belong
ing to a gentleman named Churchill, living
near Tangent. The wheat was hauled to
Corvallis and sold to Mr. Bell, and very soon
after the owner of it found out about -the
whole affair. Young Eslick and Logan were
arrested firat, and the former turned State's
evidence and mads it so warm for his late
companion that he was bound over under the
sum of $.300. When Boggs heard the matter
was leaking out he made himself scarce, but
was finally captured at a shingle camp np on
the Mohawk. Last Tuesday he had his trial
and was bound ever, his bonds being put at
$300. It is not likely that either one of the
parties will be bailed out, and will probably
have to lie in jail until next October. Eslick
says Boggs and Logan are members of a regu
larly organized band of young thieves who
have been practicing their nefarious business in
this and Benton counties for some time, and
other events seem to substantiate his state
ment. Last Sabbath some persons obtained
search warrant and instituted a search at
the residence of Mrs. Boggs, and in a trunk
belonging to young Logan they found several
pieces: of clothing which were fully identified
hx''. been stolen a short time ago at
Corvallis. Truly we have some enterprising
young men in our midst.
Cane te Eagene.
Our fellow townsman Dr. T. W. Harris
left this week for Eugene, at which place he
intends going into partnership with his un
cle, Dr. T. W. Shelton, in selling drugs and
medicines, and also in practicing medicine.
Dr. Sholton started this week for San Fran
cisco to lav ia a mammoth stock for the new
store, and Dr. Harris on his arrival in Eugene
will make the necessary preparations for the
reception of the stock. Dr. Harris is a grad
uate of several first-class medical colleges
and occupies a front rank in the prjfessoin,
as can be testified to by his many patients
in this vicinity. He is a good business man,
a close financier, and will undoubtedly con
tribute a great deal towards making the new
enterprise a perfect success.
