THE HEART OP THE VALLEY-"
That the above is the signification of Cor
vallis, is well known to our Oregon readers
but not so well known to our readers abroad
of which the Gazette is able to boast a
large list, scattered throughout the adjacent
territories, the Atlantic States, and is ex
tensively read throughout England, by favor
of Wallis Nash, Esq., Col. Hogg and other?.
Coming to Corvallis (then Marysville) in Feb
ruary, 1S53, and claiming this as our home
most of the time since, gives it a place in
our heart dearer than any other spot on
earth, excepiug the place of our birth. We
came here a "beardless youth," when only a
few temporary houses marked this beautiful
site. We built the first-house in what was
then called " Middle Town," not far from
where the new hotel stands. It was then
one of the most thriving business places' in
the upper country, being the head of river
navigation, and the shipping point for the
Southern mines. It was no uncommon sight
to see pack 'trains of from one hundred, to
two hundred animals arrive and depart,
while the commons were dotted with huge
piles of flour, bacon, beans and whisky,
awaiting the dextrous manipulations ofjtbe
"greasy packer." Times were flush and
mouey plenty. Fifty -dollar slugs were more
common then than eag!es now.
We then thought thisthc loveliest site
for a town upon this coast, and we have nev
er changed our mfnd. And such seem to be
the opinions of all comers. After having
carefully and anxiously watched its rise, de
velopment, and manifold changes for more
than a quarter of a century, ami devoted
fourteen long years (the liest portion of our
life) to advocating its best interests, through
the columns of the Gazette, is it any wonder-
that we feel proud of its present, rapid
improvement.
Here have been born to us three as bright! gtMehoo! commences September 2d 1879.
interesting and sweet children as ever blessed
f on 1 parents. But just as they reached tl e
most interesting years of childhood and
were shedding light and joy around the fam
ily hearthstone, akin to that of paradise it
self, the angel of dark wing snatched them
ruthlessly from us, and they now sleep side
by side in yonder cemetery, By the mys
terious dispensation of Providence this place
seems hallowed and sacred to us, and we
have no desire to remove hence, notwith
standing failing health admonishes us that a
change of climate, or business might be ben
eficial to us.
The future of Corvallis and Benton coun
ty seems to be brightening every day. Im
migration is now pouring into every section
of -the county at a rapid rate, while hous'-s
continue in the city. A ride to Philomath,
last week, disclosed quite a number of im
provements there, and along the road. Not
withstanding the incessant cry of "hard
times " onr farmers, generally, seem to have
money, and the prospect; for an abundant
harvest was never more flattering. All these
things combined, together with the almost
positive assurance of the completion of a
railroad to Yaquina Bay, in the near future,
places Corvallis head and shoulders above any
other location south of Portland. The iron
and rjdling'stock for the first section of the
road will soon be in Corvallis but the road
bed is not quite ready for it. Will the citi
zens of Benton county allow this grand en
terprise to fail on this account ? Of course
not. It would be worse than commercial
suicide. Every interest of the county de
mands the road, and we will have it.

8CHOOL REPORT.
Auxiliary, June 20, 1879.
Ed. Gazette : To-day I close a ten
months' school. To me it has been the
most successful and pleasant time ever
passed in a school district. There are no
better people or pupils to be found I have
kept a strict Roll of Honor, and the most
remarkable deportment ever gained by any
school is due to this one of 29 pupils. The
Roll of Honor includes attendance, deport
ment and good recitations : Lizzie Currier,
100 ; Emma Starr, 100 ; Ju.stina Johnson,

egon, do hereby tender to you our most sin
cere thanks and gratitude for the strict, hon
orable and impartial way in which you have
labored with us for ten months as a teacher.
And as a kind teacher, able educator and re
fined gentleman, we shall ever remember
you. Wm. Buchanan, Lizzie Currier, Isaac
Garrett, Jennie .Buchanan, and 20 others.

Mr. Lawless, of Albany, has taken up a
ranch on Yaquina. He passed through this
city l?st Monday morning with a load of
household effects. His faini y is already
over there.
Hndreds of Chinamen are being sent to
the front along the line of the wes . side rail
road : the advance cam;) ban ; in the vicin
ity ot the Luckiamute, near ttie south end
of Polk county.
Since Harry Warrior enlarged his store,
it is one of the most tasty and comvenient
business places in the city. Mr. August
Hodes is making asplendid display of goods,
and is very obliging to customers.
Capt. William and George Stevens came
ont from the Bay cn Friday of last week
and returned on Monday. They are well
prepare.l with sail and row boats for the
occasion of visitors at the bay, aud will
meet parties, at the head of tide, any day,
provided they are notified, by mail, in ad
vance. Thanks to Uncle Davy Irvin for a ride to
Philomath,, in his bugcry, last Friday. By
the way, it seems too ba4 that he should be
riding around alone, so much, when there
are so many nood-lookiiie, attractive, elderly
females who would enjoy a nice buggy ride
on a pleasant afternoon. Why not :
We understand that Mr. J. E. Dixon is
making arrangements to start a stage be
tween Corva lis and head of tide, to connect
with Capt. Stevens' boats. He proposes to
run on alternate days with the mail stage
thus making a dai'y I;ne, I'ur'ng the sum
mer, between Corvallis and Newport. This
is a goid scheme, and the traveling public
will be glad to learn of its successful opera
tion. Mr. Wm. Pitman is extending the mains,
so as to supply water on some of the back
streets. This is a good move. SoL King
and Col. Hogg have their residences con
nected with the " tank" already, and we
hope soon to have the pipes liid to our
dwelling. They will prob ibly be extended
to third street, along Monroe, so as to ac
commodate Messrs. Chenoweth, Judge Bur
nett, Max Friendly, Dr. Farra, Mr. Ray,
and Messrs. Jacobs & Neu?ass.
Pleads "Not Guilty." In our issue of
June 6th appeared among our state items,
clipped from some exchange, an item to the
effect that Don Byland had disappeared very
suddenly from Scio, and was charged with
improper conduct with female students.
Mr. Byland writes us from Weston, under
date of June I9th, stating that the charges
were false, and says the authorities are not
looking for him. Of course we know noth
ing of the circumstances, or who started the
report, but give Mr. Byland's statement as a
simple matter of justice to him. The Ga
zette is not the exponent of individual ani
mosities. - "
Fine Fish. Capt. Wm. Stevens came
over from the Yaquina last Friday, looking
hide and hearty, and as jolly as ever. He
brought with him a box of fish, which are
usually called flounders, but are, we are in
formed, by those who profess to know, gen
uine turbot. Be that as it may, for flavor
and delicacy they are superior to anything
we have found in the fish line. They are
considered excellent, when cauehht fresh
from the bay, but are improved at least one
hundred per cent, by the curing process to
which Capt. Stevens subjects them. The
Captain presented several of his personal
friends, in the city, ye editor, of course, in
cluded, with samples of them. It is his inten
tion, we believe, to snd out a box, for sale,
every week. Count us in as long as we can
raise a quarter. If any of our readers will
procure one, place it on the grid-iron and
broil it right nice, and then add a little pep
per and butter, and don't agree with us as
to its excellence, we will foot the bill.
Plant Shade Trees. Nothing adds more
to the beauty and attractiveness of a town
than neitly arranged and neatly kept shade
trees. Fine houses, neat fences, beautiful
flower gardens are all charming to the eye,
but ihey all come short of the effect which
fine rows of stately and beautiful shade
trees have in giving to a town an appearance
of solidity, comfort and prosperity. A few
dollars and a little care expended by prop
erty owners in planting trees along the
streets in front of their lots would bring a
good return in the actual increase of value
of the property, to say nothing of the satis
faction given in the beautifying of their
houses.
Hotel Change. Maj. G. W.' Johnson,
formerly of this city, .but now of California,
has made a change, as will be seen from the
following notice, found in the Calistoga In
dependent of June 18th s " The Cosmopoli
tan Hotel, Calistoga, has been leased by G,
W. Johnson to L. E. Broocke, of Petaiuma,
who takes possession of the house to-day.
Mr. Broocke has also purchased the furni
ture in the hotel."
FROM THE BAY.
Ed. Gazette : From all reports published
there seems a strong influence working in
favor of Columbia river as a harbor of ref
uge. My opinion is that all this effort is
simply a move to divide Oregon's strength
on this question, and, if possible, succeed in
removing the location of the work as far
south as possible. There can be little sin
cerity in Portland's advocacy of this point.
Vessels of a larger class than can now reach
Portland stop at Astoria ; the "Sam Watts"
was of this kind. Any improvement of the
bar, deepening the channel, must result in
bringing vessels of a deeper draft, and con
sequently cheaper carriers, to Astoria. Con,
pie this fact with the termination of the"
several proposed railroads at Portland, and
the rail ioad from Portland to Astoria be
comes a financial scheme certain to enlist
capital, and, sooner or later, nothing is surer
than a railroad to deep water. While this
will benefit the state and enrich Astoria, it
can hardly be called an interesting picture
for Portland, who now realizes largely from
the transfer and re-shipment of Oregon's
staple products. I suggest the propriety of
the gentlemen selected to meet the U. S.
Board of Engineers, to do so at Foulweath
er, There is something quite tangible in
thus meeting the Board within 60 miles of
the interior, fresh from the anxious people
of the Willamette, and at the terminus of
the W. V. & C. R, R. Then the delegates
can meet the Board in Portland as acquaint
ances, and will feel freer to discuss this
question of so much importance to the state.
Monday, the 30th, Capt. Lutjens launched
his steam schooner, the " Kate and Annie."
The steamer Alex. Duncan sails on the
28th, for Yaquina Bay and other ports,
north of Rogue river. She is evidently
seeking to build up a coast trade, and with
proper management, will prove profitable
to the company, aud of great advantage to
the coast country.
Your complimentary notice of Captain
Winant's efforts in our behalf is heartily
seconeded by his many friends on the Bay.
The Captain understands the text and sticks
to it.
The U. S. steamer Shubrick landed sup
plies for Foulweather light, on the 26th.
She brought wheat that cost at Astoria
$1 25 per bushel. The tonnage over the
Columbia would add something, and yet,
within sixty miles of here this vi heat was
grown, and can be bought for seventy
focr cents A bushel. Fifty-one events has
been added to its cost in transportation and
handling with the tonnage bill of Columbia
to hear from. For ten cents per bushel
that wheat could be delivered at Yaquina
Bay leaving a clear profit to the favor of
the farmer, of say, 37i cents on every
bushel. RlALTO.
Newport, July 1, 1879.
Still Coming. In addition to the large
number of Englishmen already in Benton
county, Mr. Alfred E. Acklom and wife, ap
parently newly married, arrived by last Fri
day's boat, and are stopping at the Vincent
House. We have had the pleasure of mak
ing the acquaintance of Mr. A., who seems
to be very intelligent and affable gentleman;
of means and business experience. He says
many capitalists " across the waters," are
looking anxiously to Oregon. Times in
England, like in most of the old settled
countries, are very dull, and opportunities
for profitable investment of capital scarce.
This, together with the low rate? of inter
est there, is causing many to seek new fields
of adventure and enterprise. No state in the
Union, perhaps, oners areater inducements
for investment of capital than Oregon, and
no county greater than Benton. We need
several manufacturing establishments, so as
to prevent our capital from being sent
abroad, as well as to give us a home market,
which is better for the farmer than a foreign
one.
Fine Markets. Among the numerous
improvements going forward in Corvallis,
none are more noticeable than the markets
of Mr. Nick Baesen and Messrs. B. T. Tay
lor & Son. The latter geutlemen have just
completed some very handsome improve
ments in their market. Besides enlarging
the front room and thoroughly repainting
the same, they have replaced their clumsy
counters by beautiful Italian marble slabs,
giving it quite a city appearance. In the
rear shop they have placed one of the latest
improved sausage machines for chopping the
meat and also an ingenious contrivance for
stuffing be same. In these improvements
they have exhibited a"" very commendable
spirit of enterprise, which we hope to see
soon extended to other business places.
Serious Accident. From the Crucible,
we learn that Mr. Thos. Skipton of this
county, a short time since fell from his wa
gon, and mashed his wrist. The doctors
were immediately summoned, and the wound
was dressed. After about one week it was
found that the parts were not all adjusted,
and the wounded member was reset. The
patient now bids fair for entire recovery.
Sad. Two little sons of H. S. Jory, of
South Salem, aged five and nine years, were
recently drowned near a boom of logs in
the Willamette, near Kinney's mills. They
were found only five feet apart. It is sup
posed the younger fell in and his brother,
in attempting to save him was also drowned.
It was a crushing affliction to the bereaved
parents,
Norton's Vidette. As a literary paper,
this monthly has no superior on the Pacific
coast. As a family paper, its contents are
unobjectionable and deeply interesting,
while the quality of the paper and its typo
graphical execution are unsurpassed. It is
but 50 cents a year, postage free, and is
published by E. O. Norton, Salem.
Attoicrkys from abroad. The follow
ing named attorneys have been attending
Circuit Court in the city, during the week :
Ben. Hay den, Eola; R. S. Strahan, L.
Flinn, C, E. Wolverton and J. J. Whitney,
Albany ; S. H. Hazard, Diet, Attorney,
Empire City.
Improvement, Our popular Postmaster,
Mr. N, R. Barber, having an eye to the con
venience of the public, has greatly improv
ed the postoffice by the addition of 36 lock
boxes, neatly painted and numbered, and
fastened with a new patent lock.
ALSEA bay.
Editor Gazette :
Your reporter is still making observations
hereabouts. The Alsea Bay is a pretty
body of water with a good bar, of from nine
to nine and a half -feet of water, at low tide.
The entrance is strait and the bay furnishes
good anchorage of from fifteen to twenty
feet of water.
The new schooner for the Alsea Bay, the
Helen Jane, will soon be done probably by
next Monday. It is already under contract
to go to Astoria or to Portland for Engineer
Habersham, who is going to survey the Al.
sea Bay. Fish abundant. The people are
enterprising and hospitable. They have
just completed a new school house, and the
school starts off with fifteen pupils. Mr.
Ernest White is the popular teacher. There
is to be a P. O. route from Alsea to Tidewa
ter. Bids are now in order.
Mr. Mercer is a rapid surveyor. He is
now filling a large government contract
will survey up the Lower Alsea river as far
as Tidewater. He reports large bodies of
good land on the Yahnts, enough for a hun
dred families. Lands on the ocean beach
are now surveyed and open for settlement,
clear up to the Bay entrance. It would
have been difficult for the government to
have found a man more suitable for this
work of surveying than Mr. Mercer. He is
not afraid pf work. He walked from Cor
vallis to the" Indian agency, 64 miles, in two
days and a half. That is the sort of a man
to make a faithful survey in rough places.
We are delighted with the looks of things
about here, and the only thing that hurts
our feelings is, that there is not a single
copy of the Gazette taken at this postotfice.
Why is it thus ? I cannot do without it.
And, moreover, with your permission, I will
canvass for subscribers. What say you !
With two or three sample copies by the next
mail I think I could do something.
Tidewater, June 26, 1879. Reporter.
Matrimonial. During the month of
June, the County Clerk issued five mar
riage license, as follows : Wm. H. Hart
less and Miss C. C. Davidson ; Alfred Flick -inger
and Miss Eunice L. Brown ; Marion,
H. Parker and Miss Emmarelda Starr ;
Newton A. Thompson and Miss Addie M.
Allen ; Alonzo J. Locke and Nancy E. Hol-man.
We Heartily Concur. The Harrisburg
Nucleus of the 28th ult., closes a closes a
clinching article in f Avor of Cape Foulwea
ther thus :
If Trinidad, Port Orford or the mouth of
the Columbia, is to have the harbor of ref
uge, the Central Valley and Eastern Oregon
win not De oenentxeti one loca tmacuji.
The great body of resources lies at these
points. Benton, Polk, Marion, Linn, Lane
aud territory contig ious, can get a charter
trom the Uovernme:it to open up the grand,
natural Harbor at Foulweather, and they
must do it. If t le development of this
broad Y:'akening State is to be given into
the hands ot men r r selfish personal con
siderations, we be i ;ve there is unanimity
enough, wealth enough, public spirit enough
among the people of the Central Willamette
Valley, to take this great enterprise upon
their shoulders and carry it to a complete
and successful termination. And what is
more, unless we greatly overrate the public
pulse they will do it. Such an investment
would save to the farmers of Oregon hun
dreds of thousands of dollars every year on
exports alone ; in fact, would save enough
on exports, imports and the excess of profit
on accumulating production, to pay off the
cost of this enterprise, principal and inter
est, within three or four years at the furthest.
Gold on the Santiam. For many years
gold has been found on the Santiam. in fact
it could be washed out on nearly every bar
in the stream, and can yet. During the
past winter and spring considerable dust has
been taken out of the bars above Lebanon,
and quite a number of men are still making
good wages at the diggings in those locali
ties. This all goes to show that there are
rich deposits of gold-bearing quartz some
where up the liver. A great many pros
pecting parties have gone up there in past
years and some good leads have been dis
covered in the Quartzville country, but none
on the South Fork of the river, upon which
the richest deposits are supposed to be locat
ed. A short time ago a Mr. McQuade and
several others prospected up the South Fork
and brought down some quartz with them
which an assay shows to be very rich
with gold. The lead is on the South Fork
about twenty miles south of Quartzville,
; nd forty miles from Sweet Home. Three
men have gone into it with pack animals and
will bring out several hundred pounds of the
rock which will lie sent to different places
for assaying. Gold will be found in paying
quantities on the Santiam, and we hope
these men have at last found the "big lead"

Walter Yates and Miss Jennie Keeton. All
of Linn county.
At the residence of the bride's father,
June 29th, 1879, near Gingle's school house,

county.
' His Excellency, the governor has appoint
ed Jno. J. Daly, of Dallas, and J. T. Simp
son, of Grande Ronde, as notaries for the
ensuing two years.
They All Take It.
When the system is run down to that
extent that you pass sleepless nights, are
nervous and irritable, have gloomy forebod
ings, sour stomach, sick headache and coat
ed tongue, do not enroll yourself as high pri
vate, in the rear rank, under General Debil
ity, but cheer up and try White's Prairie
Flower, The Great Liver Panacea, now for
sale in every city and town on the Continent.
No medicine ever compounded is half its
equal for the cure of DYSPEPSIA and LIV
ER COMPLAINT. It has a specific power
over the liver, and by curing the liver Dys
pepsia and all other diseases arising from it,
vanish as if by magic, Sample bottles are
sold at the small price of 25 cents that will
convince you of its merits. Large bottles
75 cents for sale everywhere.
Fiil.sc Impression.
It is generally supposed by physicians and
the people generally that Dyspepsia can not
invariably be cured, but we are pleased to
say that Green's August Flower has never,
to our knowledge, failed to cure Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint in all its forms, such
as Sour Stomach, Costiveness, Sick Head
ache, palpitation of the Heart, Indigestion,
bad taste in the mouth, &c. Out of the
50,000 dozen bottles sold last year, not a
single failure was reported, but thousands
of complimentary letters received from
Druggists of wonderful cures. Three doses
will relieve any case. Try it. Sample Bot
tles 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. For
sale by Druggists.
Consumption Cared,
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, Bronchitis,
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. The receipe 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. O. Stone, 44 North Ninth

zstte.J TESTIMONIALS:
Albany, April 20, 1S79.
The undersigned physicians of Albany, having
seen the apparatus used in Ames' process for preserv
ing meats, etc., and heard the manner of its use ex
plained, together with the chemicals used, will sayr
that as used, we do rot consider there is any danger
to the health to be feared, either in operating the ap-'
ratus, or in using the articles preserved. Not hav
ing seen a protracted test of the process of preserva
tion by the chemicals, as used in the manner indicat
ed, we will only say that the theory sounds reasona
ble, and we can assign no cause why the process
should not prove a success.

The undersigned physicians of Corvallis, Oregon,
having had explained to us Ames' process for preserv
ing meats, etc., can say that there is nothing un
healthy about it, as used, and that no fears need be
apprehended on that account. We have also seen
meat, fish, butter, etc., that has been kept several
weeks by this "process," and believe that its claims
to keep the various articles of provisions sweet and
fresh can be sustained. H. Gheex, M. D.,
