WESTS) DE EXTENSION
Nevsr ha? the future of Corvallis looked
more bright and cheering than ' at 'present.
The few days, of sunshine gave an impetus
to business, of all kinds, and the " music of
hammer and saw," are heard in all parts of
the city. Several handsome residences will
be built this season. Mr. Thos. Graham has
already let the contract for his new house.
Dr. Farra and Messrs. J no. Smith and J. H.
Lewis also intend to commence building in
a short time. Real estate is going up in
price, new goods are being rushed in, while
there is a constant demand for laborers and
mechanics. The westside road is being
pushed toward Corvallis, as will be seen by
the following from the Oregonian of the 15th
inst : . ...
The line of the proposed extension of the
Oregon Central, or Westside railroad, has
been definitely located, excepting at one or
two points, and the rtht of way in Yamhill
county secured excepting in the cases of a
tew land tracts owned by non-residents.
For the privilege of passing over these lands
the company may J e compelled to sue under
the law condemning rights of way. In any
case the progress of the work will not in any
way be hindered. The company is now se
curing right of way in Polk county.
The contract for grading the first ten miles
of the road, from the present terminus at
St. Joseph in Yamhill, to Amity in the same
county, has been let, and the work is pro
gressing fairly considering the state of the
weather. Another contract for grading from
Amity south will soon be let.
Piles for the bridee across the worth fork
of the Yamhill have been built, and the
bents set ap ; and the pile s driven for a pier
on the west side of the main stream. The
work of driving piles for a bridge to span
CSozine creek, near McMinnville, will com
mence in a few days. . Almost all the tim
bers for the larger trestles and for the truss
bridges of the northern part of the road are
framed and ready to be set up, at the build
ing yard at St. Jo. Over 17.000 ties have
been completed, and a special train is now
engaged in carrying them to St. Jo, from
where they will be sent out by construction
cars as required.
SILETZ AGENCY.
The telegraph announced a few days ago
that E. A. Swain, of New York, had been
appointed agent of the Siletz reservation.
Who Mr. Swain is, or what hjs qualiffca
tions, we knnw not, bat it seems a little
strange that a New York man should be ap
pointed to a Federal office In Oregon, espe
cially in view of the recommendation made
by the last annual conference of the M. B.
Church, under whose supervision the agency
is supposed to be placed. It will be remem
bered that W. G. Piper, of Albany, was
recommended for that position in cise of a
vacancy. Jude Piper hs the confidence of
the community in which he lives, and Ts
certainly worthy and competent We do
not know that he desires the situation, but
this certainly is a strange proceeding.
Tha above is from the Salem Statesman, of
the 15th inst. In the first place, we were
not aware that a vacancy existed in the po
sition of agent at Siletz reservation. If
.there is, we think the person recommended
by the conference of the M. E. Church,
should stand first on the list. Can it be pos
sible that there 13 no person connected with
that Church, on this coast, capable of filling
the position. If that is true, then send a
" hand " from " York State."

It is mmored that an "opium smoking
den" exists in Corvallis, nnd frequented by
young men of the city. If such a "sink
of iniquity" exists, the city authorities
should look after it, at once, and bring the

of the most pernicious and demoralizing
vices, and should be abated, like any other
nuisance.

Apologetic. In' consequence of extra
work, occasioned by preparing for and re
ceiving an entire new, and extensive job
office, we have been unable to devote our

printing establishment of Mr. D. T. Stanley,
lately connected with the Messenger office,

short notice. Further particulars next week.
This will account for limited amount of edi
torial matter in this issue of Gazette.
Indians Arrested. The Portland Stand
ard of the 11th inst. says : " From Klamath
Agency we learn that Agent Nickerson has
arrested ten Indians of the Snake tribe, who
are suspected of having taken an active part
in, the Bannock war last Summer. They
have been accused of. killing horses and
cattle, and burning dwellings, and two of
them are charged of murder in Warner val
ley. The testimony taken at the agency is
very strong against the Indians, and also
implicates Ochoco and his men in stealing
horses and killing cattle. We understand
that the testimony has been sent to General
Howard and to Camp Bidwell, but have not
yet learned what disposition is likely to be
made of the case. "
ELOCUTIONARY ENTERTAINMENT.
Miss Sarah Tuthifl, of New York, whose
entertainments are highly eulogized by the
Portland press, has consented to give one of
her popular readings for the benefit of the
Presbyterian church, in Corvallis, this even
ing. The Oregon ian reporter, says : "The
readings of Miss Tuthill fully justified the
numerous eulogistic enconiums of the eas
tern press, and we have no hesitation in -saying
that the flattering notices which have
frequently appeared concerning her aie well
merited." The programme for this evening,
comprises some of her choicest pieces, and
our citizens, who attend, will enjoy a rare
treat. Tne object is a worthy one, and we
hope to see the church crowded, this evne-
ing. Entertainment commences at 7:30
o'clock.
Three Cheers for Eugene. The Eu
gene Journal of April 12, in speaking of the
work of the Blue Ribbon Club, says
" What's wrong with our saloons. Three
months ago we had eight in full blast and at
the present time there are only four. Four
of them have blue ribbons on the front door
knob."
From the Oregonian, April 12.
A VOICE FOR FOULWEATHER.
I read in your issue of the 7th inst. a com
munication on the subject of a harbor of
refuge, signed by " Traveler," and I should
judge by his reckless statements and his
style of argument that he was a lineal de
scendant of the celebrated "Arkansas Trav
eler," or, perhaps, that ancient gentleman
himself. He has discovered a serious objec
tion to the bay north of Cape Foulweather
on account of its entire bottom being "lit
erally filled with large and small boulders."
When was the discovery made, and who
made it? Nobody except "Traveler," and
1 imagine the largest boulder he ever found
was in his hat. He attempts to prove that
the bight north of the cape is "to fortune
and to fame unknown," arid produces a num
ber of names of persons that h say3 were
never there. Well, what does that kind of
negative testimony prove ? Nothing at all.
1 notice among the names that " Traveler "
attempts to array against Foulweather is
that of Capt. Winant. Well, Capt. Wiiiant
knows a great deal more about Cape Foul
weather and the bay north of it, than does
"Traveler." Aud here is an extract from
an article written lately by him on the sub
ject and published in the Alameda Encinal :
"To sum up and make this article brief; 1
claim that it (Cape Foulweather) contains
such a basin, enclosed by such a reef as set
forth in Mr. Habersham's report, and if a
harbor of refuge can be constructed at a
figure far below the cost of any cher point
yet mentioned, it is a matter well worthy
the attention of the engineers."
And when " Traveler " says that the gen
tlemen he has named would scoff at the idea
of a port of refuge at Foulweather, in the
face of the favorable report of an experi
enced engineer and in absence of the fact
that they had ever given the place any ex
amination or had even been there. I am sat
isfied he is nsihg their nairie3 without any
authority, and the assertion is about on a
par with his assertion " that the interior
of our state has sacrificed lives euough for
the want of an asylum for vessel s " I would,
like to ask " Traveler " when and how the
interior of the state ever sacrificed a single
life for the want of a harbor of refuge ? And
I denounce this charge against the people of
the state (or the cow counties, if you choose)
as without foundation and utterly false.
All that has been done by the j i pie of the
iuterior of the state is to nro upon con
gress the necessity of an early construction
of a harbor of refuge at some suitable point
on the coast, so as to prevent the loss of life
and property continually occurring from
southwest gales.' "This is 1 ad and
front of their offending,; it a.:..'.: ' extent
and no more. "
"Traveler " has also discovered dense fogs
at Cape Foulweather. This, like his other
brilliant discoveries, was probably made
when he was not there. To say that the
fogs are any worse off Cape Foulweather
than they are at Crescent city, Trinidad,
Port Orford, Coos Bay, mouth of the Ump
qua, or the mouth of the Columbia, will do
to tell to the marines, but it in too thin for
an old salt.
On the boulder question if "Traveler"
will examine the bottom of the roadstead at
Port Orford he will find ten boulders where
there is one in the bay north of Cape Foul
weather. If "Traveler's " idea that a harbor of ref
uge cannot be of any benefit to ships if it is
to be entered from the southwest, or west,
be correct, then the report of Col. Wilson
" that the gale3 most dreaded by mariners
are from the southwest " is all wrong, for a
harbor that a wreck could drift into would
be no harbor at all.
Notwithstanding the assaults of " Trav
eler " and "Shipowner," the facts remain
that the bay north of Cape Foulweather is
the most avail.acle point for a harbor on the
whole coa3t. for the reason that the injury
to shipping being caused by southwest gole3.
no point south of that would be of any prac
tical use, especially when we consider that
vessels leaving the Golden Gate must beat
five or six hundred miles westward to get
the trade winds. That the capacity of the
harbor is am-de is shown by Col. Wilson's
reeort, said report showing that the harbor
wou'd be about a mile long and a third of a
mile wide. That it can be built for about
one-sixth the cost there that it can at any
other point is also shown by the report. If
a harbor was constructed at Port Orford at
a cost of millions to the government, not
one vessel a year would enter there to escape
a southwest gale. COASTER.

THE VOICE FROM JUNCTION CITY.
Junction City, April 11, 1879.
At a meeting of the citizens of Junction
City, held on Thursday evening, April 10th,
Hon. C. W. Washburn was elected chair
man and J. E. Houston secretary. Mr.
Washburn, on taking the chair, stated the
obiect of the meeting to be to give expres
sion in regard to the location of the harbor
of refuge. He then spoke at some length
favoring (Jape foulweather as the place, tor
the reasons that a breakwater can be con
structed at much less expense at this place
than any other on the coast making a sate
and commodious harbor, and at the same
time lessening the cost of transportation on
grain and other exports from the Willamette
valley, by building up a commercial point
that will hasten the completion of the Ya
quina railroad.
JOL Jr. w. r-o.som was ne called ana
made an excellent speech, givi: g some inter
esting statistics on the subject, and calling
attention to the fact that the most danger
ous place, and the one most dreaded by
manners, is within the vicmitj of L-ape
Foulweather. " The very name Foulwea
ther" said he, " is enough to show the ne
cessity of having a breakwater constructed
within the vicinity of the cape."
short speeches were then made by oapt.
A. L. Ewing, J. S. George, J. W. Brastield,
G. H. Marshall, Judge Thompson. J. M.
Shelley and V. Kratz, all favoring foulwea
ther as the most suitable place for the said
harbor of refuge.
A committe of five was then appointed to
draft resoulutions on the subject, consisting
of Col. F. W. Folsom, J. M. Shelley, J. W.
Brasfield, J. E. Houston and John Wort
man, and report at a subsequent meeting.

men throughout the Counties, we therefore take
pleasure in recommending them and their project to
your favorable consideration, trusting that you will

A history ol the hve counties from the earliest set

After tnis comes one of the most complete, and
largest collection of Maps ever published on the Pa
cific coast , cutting all such lands in the counties as
have been surveyed into townships by the Govern-.
ment surveyors, into sections, such as will cover one
page about 13x10 inches, which will there be produced
on a scale of one and one-quarter inches to the mile.
This will enable us to show the original donation claims
original donees, names, with the number of acres do
nated to the same, ine names 01 suDscnors, witn -the
position of their farm lines, the number of acres,
and the location of their houses, orchards, etc. ,' will
also be shown on the maps on lands outside of the
city and village corxrations. Also the location of
wagon roads, railroads, streams, mills, manufactories,
churches, school houses, cemeteries, blacksmith

ment in which they wopic.
An experimental canvass will soon be commenced,
and should it meet with sufflcent encouragement to
warrant the publication, we shall endeavor to finish
the work in from seven to twelve months.
It is impossible for one to get a correct idea of the
work without seeing copies published of other coun
ties, which you will have an opportunity of doing,
when called upon by our agent, who will take pleas

favorable consideration and support, we are,

Don't Forget It.
If you are troubled with nervousness are
disheartened tired of life, fear death or feel
out of sorts aa the saying is, you may safely
conclude that ypu have : the Dyspepsia or
Liver Complaint. The liver is very apt to
become torpid this season of the year as
poisons arising from stagnant water
or decaying vegetation are more numerous
and are through inhalation taken into the
blood Unless the liver is strong and active
and furnishes a supply of fresh and pure
blood to drive out the impurities, the above
mentioned symtoms surely follow, and if
not heeded, end in more terrible diseases
and death. White's Prairie Blower proves
itself the Great layer Panacea. Its action
on the liver is different from any medicine
ever compounded. Its cures are truely won
derful. -Try it.- Price twenty-live cents
and seventy-five cents.
Consumption Cured.
An old physician retired from active prac
tice, having had placed in his hands by an
East Indian missionary the formula of a sim
ple vegetable remedy for the speedy and per
manent cure of Consumption, Bronchi! .s,
Catarrh, - Asthma, and all Throat and Lung
affections, also a positive and radical cure
for General Debility and all nervous ' com
plaints, after having thoroughly tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, feels it his duty to make it known
to his suffering fellows. Thereceipe will be
sent free of charge, to all-who desire it, with
full directions for preparing and successfully
using. Address with stamp, naming this
paper Dr. J. C. Stone, 44 North Ninth
Street, Philadelpha, Pa. ,

A representative of the Yamhill Reporter
has interviewed ex-Sheriff Dale, in his
" prison ce'.L" The ex sheriff says he had
no intention of wronging any one, and in
tended to give himself up. Strong drink
and its concomitants have brought him to
grief, and his family to disgrace. " At the
last it biteth like a serpent and stingeta Ukft
an adder." .
Enjoy life.
What a traly beautiful world we live in!
Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens
and oceans, and thousands of means for en
joyment. We can desire no better when in
perfect health ; but bow often do the majori
ty of people feel like giving it up disheart
ened, discouraged and worried out with dis
ease, when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain satis
factory proof that Green's August Flower
will make them as free from disease as when
born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complanint is
the direct cause of seventy-five per Lent of
such maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous Pros
tration, Dizziness of the Head, Palpitation
of. the Heart, and other distressing symp
toms. Three doses of August Flower will
prove its wonderful effect. Sample bottles,
10 cents. Try i.
Sad Havoc is Created
Among the tenants of the mouth by allow
ing impurities to collect upon their surface
or in their interstices. SOZODONT re
moves every vestige of tartar from the
teeth, and renders their premature decay
impossible. It not only imparts to them
whiteness and vigor, but communicates
hardness and rosiness to the;, gums.- The
breath acquires a most acceptable fragrance
from its use ; it is a purery botanic liquid,
and it may be relied on to accomplish its
beautifying effects without injuring the en
amel like a gritty tooth paste.
