The railroad trains on Wednesday on both the east and west side roads failed to reach their destination. The recent heavy storms Narrow Escape. Last week Tuesday as Rev. Jas. Taylor and family were returning to their home a few miles south of Philomath, the wagon was turned upside down, caging the family under neath the bed. Very fortunately - j . uuuer ueatbii me ueu. very lortuni on urflaf ci'.l. win A Vio.l nrfljl.mai) nifitA an 1 m ' ... ... " i , mr, jl. was driving a gentle team that nn- extensive land slide between Summit and derstood the exclamation whoa! else some Beaverton. At Gaston a bridge washed out so that the trains comeing from either end of the road could not reach each other and hence a connection was prevented. Every thing was so far repaired as to make regular connections on yesterday. On the east side road like causes washed several bridges- and made destruction to railroad property gen eral alon the line. The trains along that line also failed to make connections. About two hundred feet of the trestle work at the south end of the bridge at Jefferson was en tirely washed away, and several more brid ges on that side were destroyed. It it said that the water in the Santiam river was higher than ever known before. The storms north of here were certainly quite severe. Wheat buyers from below were telegraph, ing south from Portland to learn how the wheat was being cared for and to know if the storm had so far effected the water as to destroy it. Vacuum Motor Co. Organized. The shareholders of the above company met in this city on Monday last for the pur pose of organizing the company. Proper by-laws Were adopted, and the following persons elected directors: H. M. Vincent and F. H. Sawtell, of Corvallis; A. E. Bre dull and R, Gerdes, of Portland, and M. J. Connor of King's Valley.

Another meeting of the stockholders was held on Tuesday, and the capital stock of the company was-increased to $500,000, to be divided into 25,000 shares of $20,000 each. All but 5000 of these shares were taken by the original stockholders. Mr. F. H. Sawtell, the secretary, now has the stock, books open at his store in this city, and is ready to receive subscriptions for sto;k. The Remains of John Dsnnlck Found, Last Friday young Hannon across the river, about J o clock in the afternoon while hunting about five miles down the river from thi3 place, on the Linn county side, on quite a large island, be found the remains of John Dennick, who was drowned near the saw mill at the lower edge of town on the 1st day of June last. At the time of the discovery the end of ajlarge log was lying across the feet of deceased at which time young Hannon was on the log shooting at some birds. There was nothing left of the remains except the bones and these were all found seperate and had to be gathered to gether piece at a time. All of his clothing was found except his hat. Part of this however was decomposed. His shirt was found and in a good state of preservation and was recognized by his aunt, Mrs. S. A. Hemphill of this place, who had made it for him. His remains were deposited in the Masonic cemetery last Sunday. Many of his schoolmates who attended school with him before his death, and other friends were in attendance- at the funeral. A Dangerous Weapon Mr. Show, a commercial man represent ing Messrs. Moody & Valentine of Port land, dealers in notions, was in Corvallis last Monday night. He went out after dark and was walking along the sidewalk when he claims that two unknown men purposely pushed him off the sidewalk. Mr. Shaw had a quantity of money with him belong ing to the house which he was representing but he succeeded in getting by the intru ders and went on around the block where again he encountered what he supposed to be the same two men who again pushed him off the sidewalk. The night was as dark as the remotest dungeons of Hades, yet Mr. Shaw thought from the snap of bis pursuers eyes that they meant robbery. He however succeeded in passing them again when he rushed down to Mr. Langworthy's store and requested the loan of a pistol. Mr. Lee whom he applied to granted to him the loan of a dangerous weapon with the lock likely broken off and the triger lost and which had probably not been loaded since war times with the savages on the frontier. Armed with snch a weapon of death and destruction Mr. Shaw wended his way back to his hotel and there remained until morning without being further molested. It is astonishing how '"varmints" keep out of the range of those persons armed with dangerous weapons. . Common Council. v Monday, Dec. 11, 1882. Street committee was instructed to have side walk in front of Crawl ord & Farrar's new brick pnt in repair. street committee reported favorable on application to build side walk on east side of block and ordered by council that petit ioners present an ordinance, in accordance with the report, and it would be adopted.

Parties wishing to supply the money please apply at this office. Yauima, W. T. M. S. Woodcock. Sir: In looking over the Gazette I see you are wanting to hear from different parts of the country. As I am a constant reader of yonr pa tier every week, I therefore send you a few lines from the far off land of Yakima. This evening I find myself in the little log-cabin that I call my own, where the sound of pratling children are not heard, and where the old bachelor sits quietly by the fireside smok ing his pipe in peace and quietude, and thinks back of the land where he once lived and longs to be there again to eat red ap ples and talk with the pretty girls. The winter so far is all that heart could wish. Up to this time we have not had any snow in the valley and bat very little on the low hills. We have had some rain which has caused the green grass to grow and in some localities it is three to four inches high. Stock of all kinds are doing well which makes an average cowboy feel happy. At present wo are having a skoocum turn turn on account of our prospects of a railroad next season, which when completed will give us an outlet to market and cause our county to rank among the leading counties of the territory. Immigration is coming in slow compared with other parts of this up per country. Yakama City is improving rapidly. The merchants all have large stocks of goods and business is generally good. Wheat is worth one dollar per bushel. Oats and barley each 75 cts. per bushel. Flour seven dollars per barrel. Produce of all kinds is higher this fall than usual on account of the drouth this season. Cattle are still looking up and it is hard to tell how high the figures will reach before the market stops rising. -. There are several Benton county boys in this part of the world. Mr. Russell and family are living in Yakima City, also Wm. Thornton is there wielding the paint brush and seems to be doing well. Mr. Abe Eglin passed here a few days ago on his way to his sheep camp where he went to deliver some mutton to an Ains- worth drover. Dr. F. D. Brook is also in the valley and will soon have him a nice little home. - Our old friend Harry Bickwell who is well known to lots of your townsmen, has a -nice ranch and a good house on it and in a few years will be able to come to the land of wedfoot and carry off one of your darling widows. Fisk Cauthorn is still in our midst, and looking after the stock ears of the cote kind. He rides good horses and keeps his rope well oiled and most generally bloody. The talk is that he wants to sell out and go west. -' I will lot you hear from this part of the world again some day la the future. Yours Truly, Cow Boy. . Dec . 1, 1882. Obituary. John C.
