Democrat, after a trip of four and a half
days. There are now only about nine miles
of snow, which is about two feet deep.
While on his way across he passed six
wagon teams coming this way, and met one
going to Prineville. So that it may safely
be said that wagons can cross the mountains
now without, much trouble.
Funeral.
All that was mortal of Thomas G. Alex
ander was laid to ict on last Saturday in
Crystal Lake cemetery, followed by a large
number of relatives and friends. Quite a
number of persons from Albany were in at
tendance at the funeral. The ceremony
was performed according to the form3 and
usages of the Independent Order of Odd
fellows. The procession was a large one.
The cause which led to his sudden death,
still remains shrouded in mystery. Many
theories and speculationshave been advanced
but it is difficult to tell which one or if
either is true. The exact truth of the mat
ter will likely never be known.
Narrow Escape.

wharf the team being young colts started
suddenly and the tongue of the hack droped
out of the neck yoke and at the same time
the tugs of one of the horses came un
hitched which also frightened the team
very much as they continued plunging and
ruuning in the direction of the river. The
team was on the brink of the river nearly
close enough to pitch over the steep bank,
when they stoped suddenly and everything
was put in order without any great damage
being done. It was a narrow escape.

Work on the Railroad.
The Oregon Pacific Railroad has recently
finished a large cut on the line of their
track some eighty feet deep near Wiser's
point. They are now working on another
large cut at Oneatta in the rear of Parker's
saw mill. Quite a large force are at work
at this place and they are at work at both
ends of the cut. Much blasting has to be
done owing to the rock that they meet
with. It will require at least 6 weeks to
finish the last named cut. A large amount
of cribing is being put up across a large
slough beginning at one end of this cut.
The work is progressing finely on all three
of the tunnels. At tunnel No. 3 a tressel
across the Yaquina river has been made
upon which the company run all timber
and material from the opposite side of the
river to the tunnel. Col. Smith has con
cluded to give his special attention to these
works and he is now giving about three
fourths of his time to them.
LECTURE to the ADELPHIANS.
Last Tuesday evening the spacious Chap
el at the Agricultural College was crowdad
to over Rowing to listen to the exercises before
the Adelphian Literary Society, which op
ened with a recitation by Miss Willard.
Hon. W. D. Fenton was the speaker chos
en for the occasion who delivered a very
able and instructive address. The large
crowd listened eagerly and attentively to
it. It was full of current thought and
treated of many of the National questions o
the day. It was a very able effort and high
ly appreciated by the large audience. The
exercises closed with a recitation by Leo Stock
followed by some excellent music under the
skillful hands of Prof. Milner.
After all was concluded the members of
the Adelphian went directly to the Vincent
House where the good things to eat had
been prepared and was in waiting. After
refreshments were served, the pleasure of
the evening was enlived by toasts, speeches,
etc. Mrs. Vincent was also presented with
two handsomely painted placques, by Judge
Bryson, in behalf of the society, as a token
of respect and esteem, in which the estima
ble lady is held by the society. After all
had enjoyed themselves to their heart's
content they dispersed, all uniting in saying
that the first annual reunion of tho Apelph
ian society was a grand success.
Adelphian Entertainment.
At Hamilton's Hall last Saturday evening
the spacious hall was filled to overflowing
while the eager crowd were anxiously wait
ing to witness the entertainment of the
Adelphian Literary Society. So full was
the crowded house that some could only
find standing room. A selection from "Lady
of the Lake'' opened the performance.
Frank Irvine carried the part of Rhoderick
Dhu while David Osburn did well the part
of James Fitz James Both of them per
formed their parts very well. JNext came
a Drama in three acts entitled "Enlisted
for the War." David Osburn performed in
a very creditable manner the part of Robert
Trueworth, a Union Soldier and only son
of a widowed mother, who had enlisted dur
ing the war and who had fallen deeply in
love with Gaylie Gifford (an heiress) who
had lived from early childhood with his
mother's family, having been placed in care
of Mrs. Trueworth by Gaylie's father who
had went to distant lands te seek his tor-
tune but iu latter years had died leaving
Wilder Rowell guardian of the person and
fortune of his daughter, and who was also
madly in love with the heiress for the sake
of her fortune, whose character in the drama
was to act that of an unprincipled villian.
Shortly before Roberts enlistment his father
had died leaving their old home under
mortgage to Hosea Jenks a countiy auc
tioneer and jack of all trades who after
Roberts enlistment sold out their old home
to Wilder Rowell. Mrs. Trueworth matron
of Trueworth farm and mother of Rob, was
performed in a very easy and graceful man
ner well suited to the occasion by Miss
Christina Willard. The character of Miss
Mattie Trueworth, sister to Bob, was very
well done by Miss Janie Buchanan, whose
devoted lover was Hiram Jenks a young
man of twenty and son to the auctioneer
who dubed his sou "a mere boy." Mattie
at first disfavored the boys' entreaties, but
when Trueworth farm was sold out from
under them and left them homeless, Hiram
came to the rescue and found and purchased
a home for them, she then besran to open
her eyes to the fact that the young man had
a heart beyond that of a "mere boy," where
upon she soon reciprocated his entreaties.
After learning that Robert had enlisted
in the union army and that Bob's love was
warmly reciprocated by Gaylie Gifford,
Wilder Rowell in order to crush Bob se
cured the position of Colonel of Bob's regi
ment who was a most tyranical officer over
Bob his inferior in ranks. It however hav
ing come to the knowledge of Gen. Grant
and Lieut. Col. Boxer that Rowell was
unmercifully cruel to Bob who had inter
cepted the latter's letters from Gaylie the
Gen. had arranged a court martial for Col.
Rowell who resigned his position and Bob
having been found to be a true, faithful and
brave soldier was appointed in his stead.
The character of Wilder Rowell was very
well doue by Mr. Fred Yates. Hosea Jenks
the auctioneer and postmaster whose ap
pointment Rowell had secured, wa3 well
represented by A. S. Buchanan. Hiram
Jenks representing a jolly rolicking boy of
20 years in short trousers and jackets court
ing Mattie Trueworth, was done up in good
style by Mr. W. G. Emery. Crimp a jelly
and antic colored gentleman and servant in
the Trueworth family wa3 made true to
nature by Mr. Alouzo Allen. Mr. D. H.
Glass did well the honors of Gen. Grant
upon the occasion and Mr. W. H. Holman
that of Lieut. Col. Boxer. Miss Minnie
McFarland represented in a very becoming
manner the character of Gaylie Gifford a
gay and lively young heiress whose ample
fortune she was always ready to bestow
where it would do the most good to the
worthy and needy. The entertainment was
a success both as being entertaining and
financially and its moral was good. The
characters were all represented far better
than could reasonably have been expected
from amateur players. In fact we have
often seen the stars at Portland and with
the same scenery and other things equal
the performance would compare favorably.
In fact it was far better than all of the so
called theatrical troops which travel through
and perform at this place.
Description of the Country.
Editor Gazette: I presume some of
your readers would like to know something
of the country in the big bend of the Col
umbia. So I will try to give my impres
sion of it in an impartial manner. After
leaving Ainsworth there is nothing to de
light the eje of the traveler until Palouse
Junction is reached. Then there is some
signs of a change in the country; the sage
brush grows smaller, there is less sand and
more grass. Alter Hock lake is reached
the land improves in quality. The R. R.
runs along the north side of the lake 6 miles.
Two miles above is the thriving little town
of Sprague on the N. P. R. R, Four miles
north there is fine rolling prairie black
sandy loam and as good bunch grass as can
be found in Washington Territory. All the
good land is taken up for 15 to 20 miles
from here. Eight miles to timber from
Sprague. Eight miles northwest of town
is the bead of the much talked of Crab
Creek; good soil, good grass and fine stock
couutry around here. As you go down the
creek it becomes rocky on either side for
two miles; but a few miles each way will
bring the land hunter to good land, but all
the time he will be going away from timber.
There is no timber to amount to anything
only on the mountains east of here. The
couutry south of Sprague is a better watered
country than to the north; all this country
south to Coltax is a rich soil and good stock
range The only drawback is the lack of
timber. The land is pretty well piled up,
but that does not matter so much as the
granger gets more land on a quarter section.
Plenty of wind power here. It appears to
be a good country for colts, calves and
babies. No Sage.
