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

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

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.

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.

Some merchants use but little judgement
about advertising. 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.

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

The Standard says: A good many repub

or on account of the arrival of John H.

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.

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.

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

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.
