Lewis has recently sold his meat market in this place to Mrs. Andrew Emerick. He therefore hereby respectfully invites all persons indebted to him to call and settle immediately. Contributions to the Yaquina Bay Harbor Improvement Fund should be madefi rompt ly. Small sums from each will make a handsome amount in the aggregate. Wheat can be subscribed in lien of cash. Let every good -citizen of Benton who desires to be released from the extortions of the Oregon Railway and Navigation (Jo's, monopoly; constitute himself a committee to solicit contributions to the Yaquina Bay harbor Improvement Fund. We hope that every farmer iu Benton county will lend a helping hand to the great work of continuing the harbor improve ments at Yaquiua Biy during the coming winter. Small contributions Only arc asked for. From three to five dollars each will raise ample funds to carry on the work Four work oyen,...used in the logging ramp of Frank Dolan, on the Snoqnalmie, were killed accidentally a few days since. A chopper, while fal ii.g trees, threw three together on the team. One yoke was crushed into mince meat, and the other was s i bad'y hurt that its immediate killing was considered an act of humanity. The Chinamen employed to work on the R. R. tunnel at Summit commenced to arrive in Corvallis the latter part of last week, and for several days the road was almost lined with Celestials from here to Summit. All the avalible teams being already employed, it was almost impossible to find transportation even for their baggage, while Mr. C'hiaaman was in all cases com pelled to walk. Irvine, Mansfield, Foster and Monteith have fitte 1 up a small Ijouso a 'ew doors north of the Vincent house into sleeping quarters. The boy's are quite comfortably fixed an ! put on a good many airs about their new rooms and have given it a high sounding name, but as the name is either French, It ilian or Hog latin, we have not yet learned how to spell it aud so omit, but Bullet can pronounce it with perfect ease. John Lewis has sold his meat market and the new proprietors bare adopted a new but very offensive way of advertising. A few days since they were evidently rendering lard and a most wretchedly offensive smell came from the shop, extending all over the block and penetrating every store and office for considerable distance round. None would doubt that there was a butcher shop there, unless they mistook it for a Chinese pest house. Will this offence be repeated? Tuesday morning of last week as Natben Paul, was at work with a threshing ma chine about ten miles North of Waitsburg and while on top of the machine pitching the grain to the feeder he was struck by the derrick fork and knocked into the cyl inder. His right foot was caught by the cylinder teeth and but for the presence of mind of S. Upbike, a strong man who was at that time feeding, he would evidently have been torn to pieces, but Mr. Updike immediately grabbled hold and jerked him back. As it was, one of his toes was entire ly torn off and two others badly mashed so bad that one of them had to be taken off. He was immediately brought to town, and his wound dressed by Dr. Maston and is doing well. Will be Home. Col T. Egenton Hogg arrived in San Francisco a few days since on his way to his home in this city, and will arrive in Portland by the next steamer and will, no preventing circumstances, be in Corvallis oil Wednesday next. We are glad to see that the citizens of Corvallis fully appreciating the great efforts and ultimate success of Col. Hogg for the construction of a Railroad to the Yaquina Bay thereby removing from the shoulders of the people the heavy burden imposed by the present Railroad monopoly, are making preperations to tender Col. Hogg a public reception on his arrival home, thus testifying to the deep feelings of gratitude for his valuable services as veil as expressing their personal feeling of private esteem. A preliminary meeting will be held at the City Hall this evening to make arrangements for the reception to which all our citizens are invited. Press For Sale. We have on bands at this office, a quarter medium Liberty job press in good condition a id perfect running order, which we will dispose of on reasonable terms. Harbor Improvement Hooting at Albany. On last Saturday in pursuance of notice a large crowd of the citizens of Linn county met at the Court House is Albany to make arrangements in relation to contributing to the harbor improvement fund for Yaquina bay. The meeting was called to order by Hon. D. Froman, Mayor of Albany, and Wallis Nash Esq., of this city, was invited to address the meeting. Mr. Nash accepted the invitation, and in a clear, forcible and able speech of forty-five minutes stated what had been and was being done at the bay and on the railroad, as well as what was derived to be done on the harbor im provement. At the close of Mr. Nash's remarks, Judge Strahn offered a resolution, seconded by Mr. J as. Foster, to the effect that it was the feeling of the meeting that the work on the Yaquina Harbor improvement should be continued, and that the citizens of Linn county should, and are desirous of assisting in the same. During the pendency of this motion, Rev. A. J. Moses, of Tangent, made some excel ent remarks in which he asserted that the present was the crisis of the people's history in Oregon, and that it was the duty of every one to assist in delivering the country from the oppression of the present system of monopoly, and that the Yaquina Bay and the Oregon Pacific Railroad was now the offered means of delivery. Ths Resolution was then nnanimously adopted. Several other Resolutions were passed, among them one appointing John Conner as Treasurer of the fund collected and one authorizing a thorough canvass of Linn county for contributions, and appointing R S. Strahan, L, E. Blain. S. E. Young and N- Baum a committee to solicit subscrip tions. The Chairman of the meating then opened the subscription list with a contribution of S20, which example was rapidly followed by many other promenant citizens and the meeting adjourned. Still on Top. A few weeks ago we published a truthful statement in relation to a pieplant leaf grown in this city and then supplimented it with a statement made by one of our promenant citizens about another leaf much larger, Immediately thereafter the Dayton (W. T.) News re printed and added to it the following, "That's a pretty good pieplant, but we hear there ie a potato in the upper part of town that is being cut out for use as a two story dwelling house with basement, cellar and all the modern improvements for a large family, in the main portion while a sort of an L will be used as a barn, stable for horses and a cow. The owner has contracted to supply all the hotels with mashed potatoes for a year. The alleged possessor comes from Corvallis where he has relatives living." Now when we read this story we groaned in spirit and was troubled: the Editors of the "News" aie young men, they have relatives living in Corvallis, who will pre sist in telling ns that some Editors are smart, yet we were determiend to confine ourselves either to truth or a good witness so we took council with our former inform ant J. L. and read to him the potato story, but he turned aside and wiping the moisture from his eye sadly said "I cant it beats my experience and I wont lie," so we earned our trouble in silence in: til Monday last when Mr. Goldson a well known citizen of our town told us that he once had a garden in Arkansas covering just one acre of ground that he planted it as usual but no vegetables made their appearance save one turnip in the center he could not account for this but was more surprised when th fence com menced to fall down as though it were raised up from underneath this caused him to examine and he found that the turnip had (.Town and expanded until it had reached far beyond the confines of the garden and that in the coming winter Gen. Price went into winter quarters near by and fed his army on that turnip for thiee mouths. Yaquina Bay Earbcr Improvement Fond.

So long as they have an "ail" in the paper paying for it, they think it sufficient, and trust to luck for the con sequences. They shut their eyes and dis cbarge their guns into the air, and wait for the game to drop. They are for duck and get crow. Advertising requires as much good judgement as any other part of the merchant's business. Judicious advertis ing always pays. There are business men who seldom advertise, and that are always complaining about trade. They treat ad vertising as the improvident and shiftless do r iof 3. When the sun shines, they do not need patching; when it rains they cannot patch them. When trade is fair they see no need of advertising; when trade is dull they cannot afford to advertise. Moral: Repair a leaky root when it is fair weather, and advertise all the season. Ex. TO the Stock Solders of the Willamette Val ley and Coast Railroad Co. Gentlemen: The report for the year ending Oct. 15th, 1881, has not reference to direct work done by our own company, bnt jet it is the pleisant duty of the directors : to state the progress made in the work of j constructing and equipping our line now in course of being carried out by the Oregon Pacific Rrilroad Company under their con tract with ns. Early in July last, Colonel Hogg tele graphed to Corvallis that he had successfully surmounted the difficulties which had been thrown in the way of his financial operations and that immediate steps in construction were to be taken. Since then not a day has been lost. Two engineering corps were at once engaged and placed in the field, and the number of en gineers has siuce been considerably increas ed. The line from Corvallis to Yaquina Bay has been completely surveyed and found practicable, as was fully expected. The chief engineer of the Oregon Pacific, CoL Isaac W. Smith, arrived at his head quars and assumed his duties on the 1st of September last. The permanent location of the line is being vigorously prosecuted, and is now far advanced towards completion. Contracts for Chinese labor were negotia ted, and work began on the 5th of Septem ber. A large number of teams for work on plows, scrapers, and dump carts were pro vided. An ample outfit of material, inclu ding 100 dump carts were purchased. We are informed that upwards of 900 men are at work on the road and already have made considerable progress. A very large amount of work had to be done on the ten miles of grading previously done by this company, ns the original grades and curves required very serious modifica tions to conform them to the requirements of the first class road laid out by the engi. neers of the Oregon Pacific. The most serious obstacle to the rapid and economical prosecution of the work has been found in the conduct of the managers of the West Side Railroad, who have not only, as we are informed, delayed the deliv ery of all stores and material intended to be conveved over their road, but have abso lutely refused to carry any powder or other explosives for the use of the Oregon Pacific at any price and under any conditions. We deem it our duty to refer thus publicly to this matter as an evidence of the kind of opposition our road is already subjected to at the hands of the existing; railroad compa ny. What stronger proof could there be of the need there was to pass the bill for the interchange of traffic by common carriers, otherwise known as Senate Bill 82, which was thrown out in the last legislature by the combined efforts of the O. R. & N. Co. and their Portland friends. Before closing this report of the year 1880 1881, so full of promise for the early comple tion of our line, and the realization of all the nopes which led to the original formation of our company, it is right to refer to one matter, which yefr is almost too trivial to notice. A report was set afloat some time since iu this county and gained some belief even among a small section of our own shareholders, that full value had not been showrilorthe $35,000 subscribed for the purchase of the rolling stock for the first ten miles of our line. It is right to repeat here that the account of expenditures of every dollar entrusted to Col. Hogg were duly rendered and vouched, and that the best evidence of it is seen in the locomotive engine and tender, and-other rolling stock, and in the 460 tons of railroad iron, with the nec essary fish plates, bolts, nuts and spikes still in the storehouse in this city, and at Port land and Yaquina Bay- These reports, and others relating to a sale by Col. Hogg to Mr. Villard, made or intended, are set going now to attempt to discredit and baffile the subscription now in progress for the continuation of the harbor improvement at Yaquina. Our opponents know well the importance of that movement as proving the general interest in our under taking. Let each of us do all in our power to strengthen and increase the subscription, so that both names and money may testify. The present board are willing to be re elected for this next year. The accounts are identical with those of 1879-1880. W. B. Hamilton, B. W. Wilson, President. Secretary. The standard says: Mr. Kinross, who has heard the Inez Fasbri Opera Company in rehearsal, assures us on his professional reputation as a singer and judge of vocal music that the troupe which will open here on Wednesday night is fully twice as strong in every way as the Caroline Richings Ber nard Company, which met with such favor among our citizens not very long ago. The professional reputation of this man Kinross may be good. Aside from this however we believe he was one of the main parties who so shamefully manipulated matters in re lation to the band contest at Portland last 4th of J nly as to get the bands into a gener al condition of ill feeling. NEW POODS 1 Mrs. Kelley has moved into her new store and opened with the most complete stock of new millinery goods ever kept in the city. She makes a specialty of ladies' furnishing goods, cloaks and dolmans, keeping a com plete stock cf the very best in the market. Also ladies' ulsters and fur trimmings con stantly in stock. Feather pillows, a nice line of glassware, and all kinds of childrms' goods. Ladies are especially invited to call and examine before purchasing elsewhere. For Colorado. Rev. T. B. White of Albany, and for a long time a resident of this city having been changed from this Conference to the Colorado Conference started for his new field of labor at Denver last week. He has large circle of friends in this cit who hope he may return in a short time. GENERAL NEWS. The Improvement Fond. Messrs Hamilton Job ft Co. Treasurer of the above fund are now employed in collecting the same. Those who have not paid their subscriptions will please call at the bank end pay the same. The Standard says: A good many repub licans yesterday were in doubt whether the Oregonian flig was at half-mast for Garfield or on account of the arrival of John H. Mitchell. The Yreka Journal says: The visit of the engineers of the Centra! Pacific tc this sec tion, indicate that arrangements were lately made between Vice President Huntington of the C. P. R. R. and the Villard party in. New York, before Villard arrived on this coast, in the matter of making railroad con nections at the Oregon line. Col, Stone, superintendent of the C. & O. stage line, says Codwalader, the head surveyor, told him voluntarily on the cars at Red Bluff, that the road would surely be built as soon as possible, and that 'the company meant business in extending the line to Oregon. The .south bound stge on Sacramento river ror.d, was stopped by a highwayman on Bass Hill, on Saturday of lost week about midnight, near Bass station, 11 miles north of Redding. The highwayman ordered the two passengers on board to get off and walk some distance ahead, and then he took off the mail sacks and express Dox, bat he failed to realize much if anything. Jacob Klippel and Thomas Keaton have struck a bonanza in the mines of Idaho Ty. Their last clean up after a twenty-four hours' run yielded $2,000, and they have lots of the same kind of ground left. The tenth annual convention of the Ore gon State Woman Suffrage Association will take place in Portland, beginning on the 18th of this month.

Sentence according to commutation, expired on September 30th; reason, extra services and term of sentence nearly expired. John Latham, sentenced from Wasco county on December 22, 1878, to two years' imprison ment, for larceny. Sentence expired,' ac cording to commutation, on October 1, 1881; reason, extra services and term of sentence nearly expired. D. C. Courtney, who shot and killed Matt Shannon in Jacksonville, a short time since, has on preliminary examination lie en held for manslaughter in bonds of $2000. He was held to answer a charge of cattle stealing, his bonds being in this case $200. Being unable to find surety, he lies in jail awaiting final trial. Hon. T. W. Davenport, Captain W. H. Walker and Mr. L. A. Luce, commissioners appointed to appraise the military reserve at The Dalles, says the Times, have completed their work and forwarded the report to the Secretary of the Interior. After approval by that officer and the commissioner of the general land office, the president will issue his proclamation, and the lots will be sold by the officers of the land office in this city to the highest bidder for cash. No settler who h-sa made improvements or erected buih'i igs upon the reserve will be give i any preferred right to purchase. Eugene Guard: We have been shown four spcimens of gold taken from the Ochoco placer mines, by Thos. W. Davis, we'ghing respectively $19, $14, $10 75 and $9 25 each. These mines are situated near a spur of the Blue Mountains, and are said to be good paying digginga. A shooting affair which will probably terminate fatally, says the Ashland Tidings, occurred at Linkville in Forbes saloon on September 28tb. A quarrel arose between "Frenchy" and Tom Smithrick, during which Smithrick drew a large calibre revol ver from his pocket. As he was too mnch intoxicated to know much about what he was doing, and when he raised the pistol to about a level with his hip, the weapon was discharged. It did not harm "Frenchy" bnt the bullet struck the floor, and glancing upward, fatally wounded a young man named Wilde, who with his father, was in the saloon watching the quarrel. The ball entered his left eye and lodged in the brain. Wi.de is about 16 years old. He was alive at last reports, but could not last long. Smithrick is under arrest. Later reports by the mail carrier say the young man is dead. A. M. Smith has arranged a splendid display of wares at the Mechanics' Fair, at Portland. Will also have a potter's wheel running with a skillful potter to manipulate the clay. President Hayes and suite were amon0 the many who expressed surprise at the modus operandi in manufac turing stoneware, exhibited at the Fair last October. British ship Charles Worsley, 1,350 tons, Mergan, master, 60 days from Dundedin, is in the river below Portland. ' Among the passengers by the mail train from Roseburg to Portland last Friday eve ning was Fx-Senator J. H. Mitchell. He was accompanied by his sou J. H. Jr., 23 years of age, a lawyer by profession. Jas. Campbell of Lane county sold over 8000 pounds of hops to Bernheim Thursday of last week, receiving 19i cts. per pound. Lebnherr's flour mill at Myrtle Point was tot 1 y destroyed by fire on Sunday of last week, Considerable chagrin seems to be excited, says the western Leader of October 1st, by the action of the O. R. ft N. Co. in showing partially to certain shippers to the serious detriment of all the rest. Foi weeks the wheat has been accumulating at Blue Moun tain Station to snch an extent as to warrant the fear that it would not be removed be fore the rainy weather set in. Those who had grain there were anxious to secure greater transportation facilities. Instead of obtaining this it appears that the mighty company in whose clutches we are helplessly writhing, has granted the exclusive use of the branch road from Blue Mountain to Whitman to one wheat firm for an indefinite length of time. Now other shippers must wait the pleasure of the O. R. & N, Co., to allow them to transport any of the immense piles of wheat that are a waiting shipment at Milton and Bine Mountain exposed to the inclemency of the weather. In the police court at The Duller woman thus attempts to explain away alleged harsh treatment of her poor husband. She says that one day when she was running across the room with a fork in her hand, he jumped up in the way and struck his fist against the fork, wrenching it from her grip by the prongs, which he ran into his wrist. Another time he attempted to strike her, but she held up a pan of hot water between them, and he upset it all over his head: then, in a rage, he attempted to jump at her, but his head came against her hand and he fell down. She took hold of his hair to raise him up, but it was so moisten ed by the hot water that it earns off. She then saw it was no use to argue with him any further, end straightway left the house. Scissors. The tax up in lane county is 20 mills, and every body bucks. BOEN. In this city O j t. 7th, to the wife of J. J. i Scrafford a son. DIED. I In this city on the 18th inst.

This is another victim of that fearful scurge diphteria with which our city has been from time to time visited for the last few years, however we know of no other cases in the city, Mr Cauthorn having re moved his other child to a different part of town in time, it is hoped, to rescue it from this blighting malady. Surely death loves a shining mark and in this instance has taken from the loving care of lender and affectionate parants one that was truly lovely and leaving them without earthly comfort for their irreparable loss, but yet there is an abiding consolation in the fact that our blessed Savior has selected infant purity as a type of perfect holiness.
