A Fire Alarm.
A little before noon on last Friday the
alarm of fire was given. In a few moments
Young America with her engine and the
Hook and Ladder Co. was on their way
towards the south part of town where it
was found that the alarm was occasioned by
some sparks catching in the roof of Mrs.
Monteith's house near the kitchen flue.
Before the engine could be set and water
get to the flames the H. & L. boys had ex
tinguished it by throwing a few buckets
of water upon the fire.

A Curious Effect of a Seaside Visit.
One of our townsmen famous as an ex
pert with paste pot and scissors, while on a
trip to the ea-shore recently, it is said,
found personal attractions in the cooking
department of one of the principal hotels,
where he was stopping, in the person of a
young lady. So much so did these allure
ments attract him that he found it no use
to attempt to count the sands upon the sea
shore during his stay, but straightway en
tered that department of eatables as assis
tant to the object of his attractions.
A Bad Sewer.
Mrs. James Taylor has been sick at her
residence for about two weeks, and also
her sister and Mr. Taylor during last week.
Their sickness is said by the doctors to have
been caused by the effects of a sewer which
the city attempted to build just across the
street from their residence, but failed and
neglected to complete it, and have left it
unfinished in the middle of town as a pois
' onous and festering sore to contaminate all
who were so unfortunate as to live near it.
Mr. W. B. Hamilton who lives alongside
of it and who has been sick for a couple of
months and his sickness is said to be caused
by the same influence.
Pleasure Seekers.
Mr. H. E. Harris and two daughters, and
r. r . A. Horning and family, who nave
been spending ten or twelve days in recre--ation
near the "briny deep" at Yaquina,
returned the last part of last week having
enjoyed the trip well. While gone they
took a trip down to Siletz reservation un
der charge of agent E. A. Swann. Their
trip to the Agency was one of the most en
joyable portions of their time. They all
agree in praising the polite and agreeable
manner in which Agent Swann treated them
while they were there. Mr. Thos. Horn
ing took the ague on the trip which made it
disagreeable and unpleasant for him.
Good Grain Cutting.
Mr. Gilbert Quivy formerly of some
newspaper notoriety in this place and else
where, has turned to be a horny handed
farmer, and during the present harvest has
been running a McCormick twine binder.
During one day it is said that he cut
twenty-five acres of heavy wheat and also
during a 3 days run he averaged twenty
acres per day and during several days cut
ting he averaged nearly twenty acres per
day. He works three horses to a seven
foot binder- aud fin-Is that it is not near so
hard on them as ordiuary plowing hardly
raising the sweat on them at all.
Salem Woolen Mills.
Plans and specifications for the factory
have been drawn and accepted. The build
ing is to be of brick, five stories hijjh, 140
feet front, 35 feet wide, and will have two
wings of 60 feet each attached thereto. It
to be erected on the site first selected for
e flouring mills, between the old E. N.
Cooke place and Mrs. Thatcher's, on the
bank of the river. Work will be coin
meucea as soon as tiie flouring mills are
under sufficient headway to warrant the
commencement on the factory. The ma
chinery has been selected in New York and
a practical woolen manufacturer engaged iu
Scotland to take charge of the business.
A New Alsea Road Being Opened.
Mr. Seelv of Alsca Valley kindly informs
U3 that the road leading from Alsea to
Monroe lias neen graded around what is
termed the big kenyon that being the worst
part of the road, and after harvest it is the
intention of the people of that Valley to
commence at the west end of the road and
put it through. When the road is com
pleted it is the hopes of the people that
they will have a much better road to travel
over in the mountains than the old one up
Mary's river. It is said to be almost as
near for a person wanting to po to Alsea
Valley from here as the old one. Perhaps
two or three miles further only and much

A New Steamer Beached.
The new steam launch recently built at
Portland by Berhe and Co. , to run on the
Yaqnina bay and river, was being towed
from Astoria by the Kate and Anna; while
bringing her into the bay at Yapuina, the
roughness of the sea caused her to lurch
forward and entangled her propeller in the
tow line. The Captain of the Kate and
Anna then cut her loose and she then drift
ed down about two miles and the parties
aboard of her succeeded in beaching her on
South beach. A lot of men went down
to where she was and succeeded in getting
her off the beach. It was the intention to
bring her across the point and launch her
near the government works. At last ac
counts she was out of dangei and suffered
no damage of any consequence. She is said
to be a handsome craft with a nice cabin.
The Sick Temporarily Returned.
It will be remembered that Mr. J. L.
Lilly and Cyrus Powers, long residents of
this county, whose health for a long time
had been in a rapidly failing condition, ac
companied by the father of Mr. Powers,
went east of the mountains last spring in
hopes of regaining their health. Mr. Lilly
and the elder Mr. Powers returned to this
place recently. Mr. Lilly looks somewhat
improved. But he yet bears appearance of
indications which suggest some doubts as
to whether he can fully recover his lost
health. He intends to remain until after
his crop is harvested when he intends to
return to East of the mountains. They
report that Mr. Cyrus Powers has improved
considerable and gained much strength
with indications favorable to his getting
well. He has taken up a piece of land there
and intends remaining in that part of the
country and making it his home. He is ex
pected down soon to see his family but in
tends to return again.
New Arrivals in our Town "From afar off."
Ou last Friday evening there arrived in
our town Mr. S. W. Look and wife, the
parents of. Mr. S. A. Look of our town;
they were accompanied by their daughter
Miss Lizzie J. Look and also by Mrs.
Vaughn and Miss May Vaughn, wife aud
daughter of Mr. E. C. Vaughn of our town.
They came "all the way from Maine" and
a3 we are informed enjoyed the trip well
This is the second time Mr. Look has been
to Oregon. He was part owner and captain
of a ship which he brought round the Horn,
to California during the gold excitement of
1849, and before returning, iu about 18.30,
made a trip up to Oregon. He was also on
board the steamer Central America when
she sunk, about 24 years ago, off Cape Hat
terass and was one of 49 who escaped alive
out of abtut 500 aboard. Mr. Look is now
about 73 years of age and although his ex
periences on land and water have been
varied yet he stood his recent long trip
overland remarkably well for a man of his
age. These parties have all come to make
Oregon their home.
From Florence.
Editor Gazette: Thinking that per
haps your readers would like to hear from
this, at present, rather isolated place, I will'
say for the benefit of those seeking homes,
that notwithstanding quite a rush here of
late, there is room for more settlers on
government land. The lands along Tide
water are mostly taken, but up the streams
which put into the Sinslaw river there are
good bottom lands usually covered with
alder and salmon biush easily cleared.
The bottoms along the streams will average
about J mile wide, the hills adjoining are
susceptable of being put into grass, which
affords good pasture. The Sinslaw river is
navigable for about 25 miles and the north
fork about 8 milef . A cannery is now in
course of construction, with the intention
of canning salmon this season. The fishing
season commences here about the middle of
August. A large steam saw mill is also
talked of and will probably be built soon.
A vast amount of good timber grows on the
upper Sinslaw and Lake creek which can be
easily run to any point down the river.

will be much rough work encouutered, no
doubt, but not as much as down Bear creek,
Mr. Hurlburt thinks. The hills are nearly
bare of timber most of the way on the

surveyors can make much faster progress
than through the forests on Bear creek.

DISLOCATED SHOULDER.
A Horse Jumps Off of a Bluff Some Forty Feet
onr.
On last Sunday afternoon while Mr. Isaac
Simpson of Elk City was riding along the
road between that place and Pioneer, with
a young lady, Miss T. Morrison, iu a buggy
drawn by one horse; the points of the shafts
aliped backwards and struck the horse be
hind the shoulder, which scared him, caus
ing him to jump the grade and all hands,
load, buggy, horse and harness tumbled
down the side hill all in a heap some forty
feet below. No one was seriously hurt ex
cept Miss Morrison whose shoulder was
dislocated during the fall. The horse suc
ceeded iu kicking harness and buggy loose
from him and then climed up the hill on to
the road again. Mr. Simpson succeeded
in gathering the buggy and remnants of
harness together and got them up onto the
grade and soon hitched them to the
horse again. Not long after the accident
all hands were drawu by the same horse
and in the same vehicle on their way to
visit Dr. F. M. Carter who reduced the in
jured shoulder. They then went home and
on Monday morning Miss Morrison was
resting quite as comfortable as could be ex
pected. A Cowardly. Act.
The story of a very savage piece of busi
ness comes to our ears from the Mountain
Mills, says the Yamhill Reporter, wherein
our good friend, Mrs. Petch barely escaped
with her life, one evening last week.
While Mr. and Mrs. Petch were standing
at the gate, a ball from a Spencer rifle came
whizzing at them. It grazed Mrs. Petch's
arm and struck the fence at her side. Just
then her eyes were attracted by the smoke
of the gun, several hundred yards away up
the hillside, and she caught a glimpse of a
man as he dodged through the brush. Mrs.
Petch certainly escaped a most perilous
snare, if all accounts prove true, as she is
confident the shot was aimed squarely at
her for a deadly mission. Much as we may
loathe the idea of a fellow citizen with a
heartful of such dreadful malice, yet so it
is currently reported, and we simply refer
to it as we have repeatedly heard it.
Further details are given us, which we
deem prudent to withhold under present
circumstances.
Death and Diphtheria.
Information reaches us that during the
latter part of last week, two more children
of Joseph Bryant, and also a grand-son of
Mr. Haman Lewis, died of diphtheria.
This dreadful disease has not spread from
these two unfortunate families since they
took it that we have heard of. It is to be
hoped that it may not.
