LOWER ALSEA AND YAQUINA.
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.

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.
