Welcome Home. As soon as the news
reached Corvallis that Col. Hogg would soon
return, the people of Corvallis commenced
to make arrangements for an appropriate
reception of their honored citizen, and on
Friday evening a public meeting of the
citizens was held at Hamilton's opera house.
Judge ChenOweth was chosen chairman and
M. S. Woodcock Sec. After due deliber
ation it was decided to refer the matter of
making arrangements tor the reception to a
committee of six to be chosen by election.
The meeting then elected as such committee
Pr f. B. L. Arnold, Dr. J. B. Lee. Hon.
John Burnett, Dr. J. R. Bayley, M. Jacobs
and Judge F. A Chenoweth. On motion
a committee of five was. appointed by the
chair to prepare suitable resolutions ex
pressive of the feeling of the people toward
Col. Hogg, said committee to report at the
time of the reception. The committee to
consist of Col. James Kinney, M. Jacobs,
Dr. J. B. Lee, M. S. Woodcock and J as. A.
Yantis. There was also a committee appoin
ted on finances, consisting of John Ray,
Zephin Job and T. E. Cauthorn. As the
exact time of CoL Hogg's arrival was not
then known, no time was fixed for the re
ception, but on news being subsequently
received of the time of his arrival, yesterday
evening. was fixed as the time for the re
ception at the Hall but as we were compell
ed to go to press last night on account of
our mails no report Jof the reception could
be given in this issue, but we will furnish
a full report in our next. On Wednesday
afternoon about 3 o'clock, CoL Hogg, ac
companied by his brother Wm. M. Hoag
and Wallis Nash, arrived at the ferry land
ing in this city having come to Albany on
the noon train aud driven over by private
carriage. At the ferry the party was met
by the committee of reception, city officers
and a large concourse of citizens in carriages
and on foot. The services of the 2nd Brig.
Bind having been secured was on the hank
of the river and saluted the party with some
of their finest music while the boat w:is
crossing the river; on the landing of the
boat the baud took its position in front of
the Colonel's carriage and escorted him to
his residence on the corner of 3rd and
Adams street, where a large crowd of peo
ple assembled to give him personal welcome.
Every one who could get out was present.
The College and District schools had sus
pended and were out in full force, and none
could fail to lie pleased as Col. Hogg walked
back nearly half a block to shake hands with
these young people who had come to do
him honor. AfterasVjrt time thus sp-jnt
the Colonel from the steps of his house ex
pressed his thankful appreciation of the
welcome he had received and promised to
talk to the people more at length in a short
time; when three cheers were given with a
hearty good will and the people went home.
HiO'TP.P. We are informed that the
proprietor of one of our most public offices
in the southern part of town id in a horrible
dilemna. Almost daily a tall preposessing
human may be seen striding slowly and
cautiously towards the office. He uncere
moniously steps in, finds a chair, chats about
the weather, throws out leaders nn various
subjevts, and invariably waits until noon to
accompany the poor unsophisticated agent
to dinner. Our : gent is fast failing; his
once vigorous vitality is alamingly wasted.
His former full face, witli such rosy cheeks,
presents a picture of untold suirering. The
ngueisb complexion, the wau . countenance
too plainly tell the tale of distress. Even
the once vigorous moustache is fast fading,
it deigns not to grow upon flesh that re
quires an everlasting cultivation. Reader,
beware of breathing ghosts. The blasted
life physical and mental, of our beloved
friend is a terrible warning.
We have not been furnished with the
name of the gentleman who is thus blasting
tha life of the agent, or we would geek a
personal interview and urge him to desist,
for 'tis sad for one so yonng to die thus.
Articles Filed. The Alsea and Tide
Water wagon road company havo recently
filed articles of incorporation in the office of
the Secretary of State for the purees of .con
structing a wagon road from the lower end
of the upper Alsea valley to Tidewater.
The capital stock is fixed at $3000. The in
corporators are Thomas Russell, and Wm.
K. Hammersly, and W. P. Ready, the
principal office being at Tide Water. This
road, when completed, will connect the two
Alsea's, and furnish for the people of the
Upper Alsea an outlet to the ocean, with a
harbor at Alsea Bay, where sea going vessels
can at any time come in and carry away all
the produce of the two Values; beside this
it will be a great advantage to the citizens
of the Lower Alsea. We hope to see this
much needed enterprise a perfect success
and have no doubt but it will be soon.
This is one of the. most fertile portions of
Benton county and has a large population
who are now considerably hampered for
waut of this very road.

Bro. Mays on Future Punishment.
Many of our renders will remember the
Rev. F. W. D. Mays who was a member of
the recent conference of the M. E. Church
South, that met iu this city this summer,
and who was stationed at Pomeroy W. T.
where he is the editor of the Washington
Independent. This is the way the Indepen
dent speaks of the future of Guiteau:
Bro. McAlistei defends Guiteau spiritually,
and tries to get him to Heaven finally.
We will go some other place if such men as
this assassin is to be our companion in the
Universalist Paradise. We believe in
mercy, but God has to be just also. If He
is just, Guiteau is in Hell everlasting. We
have no confidence in the repentance of any
man who commits the crime of premeditated
murder. We believe such are roasted on
the grid-iron of Hell, while his soul drinks
molten lead to quench its thir.-t as the fires
of Damnation arc bursting upon it, aud all
the little Devils burst tire-crackers of Eter
nal misery on Guiteau & Co.'s head forever.
Wm. Lloyd Garrison in an address before
the Woman's Suffrage Convention at Port
land 'ant week said that the social condition
here was a constant surprise to him, having
formed the same idea tnat many others had
beforehand who have not been to this coast,
that we were but semicivilized. He paid
Portland the compliment that it looked for
all the world to hinv like a New England
city, and the only thing to make its ad
vanced civilization the more apparent was a
Woman's Suffrage Convention such as was
then attending.
Fisk Cauthorn, well known in, and for
many years a resident of this city, is visit
ing relatives and friends here. Mr. C. is
now a resilient of Yakima, W. T., and
engaged in stock raising, tie informs us
that he lost about six thousand dollars
worth of stock last winter, but has some
left and proposes to stay with them until
he makes a fortune if it "takes all Summer."
We admire his pluck and sincerly hope that
he may not meet with another misfortune
simular to the last, but eventually become
rich and prosperous for he deserves success.
The foliage of our city shade trees is the
first thing to remind us of the coming winter.
Just now we are having the well known
October tints in the leaves of maple and
poplar. The latter at this time are particu
larly beautiful Like the closing days ot a
good man or pure woman, growing more
and more beautiful as the fading days cast
their shadows into this life only to bring
out a brighter character for the life immor
tal, these leaves put out their loveliest tints
just before they faU to the earth and pass
out of sight.
Charlie in Difficulty. One day this
week we chanced to meet Charlie, the Chi
nese contractor of the Oregon Pacific who
related to us a little difficulty he was at
tiiat time in, as near as we can remember
about the following language: "Me startee
34 Chinamen to the Bay, they askie me how
far? Me tell 'em 15 mile; they go three day,
mi gettee there; they sendie me letter, say
me heap lie, want me come out. Me no go;
they all heap mad, me keep way off 'til
they over mad."
' Death of Wm. H. Elliott. On last
Tuesday afternoon Wm. H: Elliott, a weal
thy farmer residing about three mile's north
of this city, and one of our most respected
citizens was taken with quite a severe
attack of neuralgia, which becoming con
stantly more severe Dr, Lee was summoned
and every means known to the profession
resorted to, to check the disease, but at
about noon on Wednesday the disease struck
the heart when death instantly ensued. .Mr.
Elliott was one of the first settlers of our
county, and has resided ever since on the
farm where he died. By honesty and in
dustry he had accumulated about him the
comforts of life, had sean his children grow
up to matuaity and some of them settle in
business for themselves.
His cotirtious, fair and honorable dealings
with his neighbors and friends had given
him a large place in the esteem, respect and
confidence of all with whom he came in con
tact. Mr. Elliot was about 50 years old;
the wife of his youth survives to mingle her
tears with those of her children of the un
timely death of a devoted husband and
affectionate father. Mr E. had for many
years been a consistent member of the Bap
tist Church, and died in the well founded
hope of a blessed immortality beyond the
grave. Thefnneral will take place to day
from his late residence under the direction
of Corvallis Lodge of free ami accepted
Masons of which he has long been an honor
ed member.

Captain J. C. Ainsworth, lately shipped
ninety young black bass from San Francisco
to Mr. W. B. Blackwell, of Tacoma, to be
placed by him in America Lake near that
town. Owing to the water not being
changed in the barrel in which they were
placed, unfortunately they died before
reaching Kalama, Capt. Ainsworth has al
ready introduced the Eastern speckled
brook trout, with which he has stocked a
lake near Tus residence on the Sound, where
they are doing 'well, and it is a pity he has
failed in the attempt to introduce this other
splendid game fish. Such fish as speckled
trout an 1 black bass ire likely to prove of
more value than the mud e.iting carp.

It is generally supKied that newspaper
men. by reason of their goodness and vir
tues, are not amenable to the accidents and
ills which usually afflict the rest of the in
habitants of this sinful world, Ht this
theory received a checkmate 'ast Sunday by
reason of this sad experience of the writer,
while out riding behind a team of uncivilized
cayuses. To make a long story short they
run away and spilled the editor of the
Times unceremoniously on the ground, pro
ducing sensations something akin to what
the lamented Jim Fisk complained of when
he sayed, after a long military review on
on horseback, that he would be compelled
to take his meals for the next two weeks
from a high mantel-shelf, Jacksonville
Times.
The partially completed arched roof of
the dry kiln at the new building of the
Oregon Furniture Manufacturing Company,
between First and Front streets near Salmon
fell in yesterday forenoon, owing to the ine
fficiency of the snpports and Captain Harry
Gurr, who was at work thereon and two
hod carriers named Michael Duncey and
John Flynn fell with it some twenty-five
feet. They were completely buried among
the falling biicks, and Captain Gurr was
severely cut and bruised about he head and
arms, whiie Duncey's injuries consisted cf
severe bruises ou the legs. Flynn h id an
ear split and a thumb mashed, but was able
to resume work. It was a very n rrow
escape for all three men as the weight of the
bricks which fell wai about two tons.
Will Continue. The following letter

Portland, Oregon, Oct. 22. 1880. I
Mr. Wallis A' ash, Corvallis:
Mr: I nave the ftonor to acknowledge
the receipt of your favor of the 19th inst.
Full arrangements, in consequence, have
been made to continue the Yaquina Bay
improvement. Mr. Polhemus has been di
rected to use the light iron of the railroad
company according to your kiud offer.
Very respectiully,
Chas-F. Powell,
Captain of Engineers.
Radical Reform. The spirit of reforma
tion and purification has been aroused in
the bosom of our senior. On Tuesday eve
ning he attended the auction and purchased
some towels and socks, and on Wednesday
he invested in a box of extra condensed
soap. He now contemplates triu to toe ,
I warm, springs.
We learn that a faw days ago, obstruc
tions were placed on the high bridge across
the Yamhill river it this place, similar to
those placed on the bridge across the Yam
hill river at this place, similar to those
placed on the track of the Western Oregon
at the North Y amhill bridge a short time
ago. Fortunately however the weight of
the engine cut the timbers into and the
train was not thrown from the track. There
must be some infernal fiend in this vaciuity
that hanging would be to good for.
Workmen and supples for the railroad are
arriving in this city faster than they can be
transported to the front. This is owing to
the fact that teams are scarce and the roads
have become so bad that the present force
of teamsters cannot remove the supplies as
fast as they arrive, although a large quanti
ty has been shipped to-the bay by water.
Shot Gcns foe Cash. We offer for the
next sixty days breach and muzzle loading
shot guns cheaper than ever before sold in
Oregon. Call early and secure a bargain at
Woodcock & Baldwin's.
Press For Sale.
We have on bands at this office, a quarter
medium Liberty job press iu good condition
and perfect running order, which we will
dispose of on reasonable terms.
