Mr. Editor : I shall not attempt to give glowing description of these two valleys ; lor, people would not believe it. No one away from there, can realize the healthful Bess of the climate and the beauty of the scenery. After a residence of several weiks 1 can safely siy that there is no place like Alsea and Yaquina. The man who can leave bis business and ruu away from the heat and dust of town, will derive great benefit from the air, the water, and the diet of this de lightful (I could'nt help it) country. These adjectives will come up : hence 1 must say na more about the country. The people are kind and hospitable ; aud, although we may find them in small bouses, they have large hearts. Some on lower Alsea have lare houses and take great pleasure in entertain ing visitors. Mr. Russel and wife, noble and generous, are always ready to give away anything they have, even the hue house they live in. Mr. and Mrs. Peak are never happier than when they are doing a favor. Mr. Mc Kenney aud family are valuable citizens in any eommunity. Messrs. Springer, Doty, McWil.is, Titus aud many others are hue people to live among: Coming from Alsea one finds an oasis at Mr. George Collins'. Courteous, refined, an 1 well-known. Mr. C'ol.ius is the most prominent man on the Coast. On the South B.-ach of Yaquina Bay we find Mr. Lem Da vis and Mrs. D. excellent people. Here we had the pieaure of meeting with Mr. W. B. Carter, whose health is improving. I went from (Jorvallis to Newport with Mr. C and Mr. B. W. Wilson, and I hereby tender them sincere, thanks for their numerous acts of kindness to my sick family. They are the best traveling companion I have ever had. At Newport, the Bay View House is full to overflowing; another house had to be rent ed. Mr. Abbey and his excellent wife are sure to provide for all that come. Naturally kind-hearted people, they make one feel at home all ths tima. St .rting from Newport late in the afternoon Monday, we reached Pioneer at supper time good supper. The steamer with all of its past mishaps, is evi dently a success. It is in good running or der, and under a competent engineer. The Conductor, Mr. Mack Crow, is as polite as Chesterfield. Tuesday morning, the old Crow took us under the shadow of his wing and flew (?) over the mountains to Corvallis. Aug. 15th, 1879. Pilgrim. UP A TREE. One evening last week, as a Corvallis ju venile was smashing a commandment by depredations on an apple tree into which he had climbed, at a farm south of town, he Was discovered by the owner, who marie tracks for him with loud threats of ven geance. In the urchin s hurry to reach the ground and " scoot," the broken end of the limb caught in the dilapidated rear of his trousers as he was about to jump from a lower bough to terra firma, and securely held him. In vain did he twist and strug gle to free himself from his unhappy posi tion, for speedi y the irate citizen reached the spot, aud, seizin the sinful little fellow, who was now wailing bitterly, by the leg, gave, a vigorous pull. Rip went the breech es, completely devastating the seat thereof, mod down came the boy. As if the destruc tion of apparel was not sufficient punish ishment, the angry owner of the tree placed the sorrowful lad across his kne- and wreak ed his vengeance. Board of Encumbers. The members of the Board of Pa. ific Coast Engineers have completed the work of observation and re turned to San Francisco. Nothing definite is known concerning the conclusions reached by the board in relation to the point select ed for a harbor of refuge. Some significance Was attached to the fact that after having examined the various points along the coast, the board ordered that Lieut. Payaoo make a survey of Coos Bay: This does not indi cate that the harbor of refuge will be built at that point, as Congress at its last session made an appropriation for the improvement Of Coos Bay, and Lieut. Payson's duties are in connection with that appropriation. Who was It? The CrueihU says "that on last Saturday night a citizen of Philo math went out about the hour of eleven to get some water, and during the few mo ments that he stood at the well drinking, some person broke from the rear of the premises and ran down the street. Now, the question is, what was that fellow doin? at that place at that time of night ?" We can't answer positively, neighbor, but if the party had a phosphorescent cheek and was clothed with a pair of brass-mounts 1 spec tacles, it must hive been our friend Yantis. who is at present running at large some where so the westward. He was" probably Seeking something good to eat. Insurance Paid. Mrs. A. L. Stinson, Widow of A. L. Stinson, deceased, received on Saturday last by the hand of Hon. I. R. Moores, grand receiver A. O. U. W., two Checks for $1000 each, the same being the amount due her as insurance by virtus of membership on the life of her husband, who it will be remembered died in Salem about the 1st of June last.

Daw, whose farm is ten miles south of this city, has twenty acres of wheat which, in the opin ion of all wh.i have seen it, will yield sixty I iushels per acre. This crop comes from one pint of seed that Mr.' Daw procured at the Centennial in 1876, and planted two years ago ; it grows on ground that has been culti vated for twenty consecutive years. It is known as the Russian variety, and i? entirely free from rust, while grain immediately ad joining on all sides is more or less affected. In our opinion this is the " boss" crop of the Willamette valley this year, and if anybody cau beat it, let him step to the front. Sentenced. Dr. C. A.

When she lifts her foot to scratch, the spur digs into the ground, throwing the hen tor war. i ; thus s!ie is kept going ahead, and is eventually propelled out of the gar den. Rail Road Meeting. There will be a mass meeting of the Citizens of Corvallis held at the Court House, Saturday night, August 16, 1879, at half past seven o'clock, to take into consideration the proposition of the West Side R.
