White, superintendent of con struction, who is recently fro.n New York, came from Yaquina to Corvallis last Sat urday and started back last Monday. A lot of the old bosses who formerly worked on the railroad have put in an appearance in the last few days apparently in condition to resume work. The tunnels on the line of the railroa l have recently been pumpe I out an 1 put in condition so that work can be resumod on l,bem soon as deeired. Last Monday the steamer A. A.

Nick Baesen. advertiser. The Gazette has a better and larger cir culation in Benton county than any news paper ever published in the county, and its subscription list is increasing every week. If advertisers desire to get the worth of their money these are important points that they can not loose sight of. If they ad vert:se purely as an advantage to their business these elements in a paper are in dispensable. Quarterly Meeting. First Quarterly meeting next Saturday and Sunday Rev. E. G. Michael P.

At the regular annual election of Corval lis Lodge No. 14, A. F. and A. M -, held in this place last Wednesday evening, the following officers were elected: W. C. Crawford, W. M ; J. M. Osburn, S. W.; S. N. Lilly J. W., Thos. Graham Treas., B. J. Hawthorne Sec, Ira Hunter Tyler, Z. Davis S. D., E. Holgate J. D. After the election they were duly installed. wnac Is tne Reason ? Some of our firemen who have served over their seven years time are anxious to know why it is that they have thus far been unable to get their exempt certificates, a though having long ago applied for them. W.ien any of the board of fire delegates are' a iked about it they reply that the several companies have not sent notice to the board of such applications. What the companies say about it we do not know. But parties who have served their time ought to have their certificates as soon as ordinary prompt ness would permit. Mr. Geo. A. Peak, of Lobster valley, ends ns a long article for publication set ting forth his grievances in regard to his experience in subscribing for a so-calle I live local paper and the "American Agri culturist" at clubbing rates. He claims that one of the papers never has reached him although he paid for both and has since written several times about it and can get no answer. The communication is en tirely too long for publication in our limited space, besides it would probably not inter est our readers generally, and it being a personal matter entirely between Mr. Peak and another only, we canuot now publish it. We can only say to Mr. Peak when he sub scribes for papers at this office we will see that they are sent to nun if we have to carry them, or else we will refund the money. We oan not right others wrongs, hence Mr. Peak will have to look else when to get his redress. Alpine. Everybody is saying what a favorable fall we are having and how unliku that of last year, at least, in regard to temperature. Many tropical plants have thus tar, re mained out exposed to the weather without injury. Thanksgiving was duly observed at Simpson's chapel, Rev. Ira Waketiehi preaching a rather lengthy sermon at 11 o'clock. Now preparations are being mile to celebrate Christmas day with a tree. Mr. E. Horton is home on a visit at least and perhaps to stay. Miss Emma Woodbury of Harri.sburg is now making a short st y with her relatives Mr. Hartons. Messrs. Ed. Belknap, Marou3 Watts and Willis Hawley of our neighborhood, consu tute the graduating clas3 of Willamette University uext commencement. Mr. George Howell who some time ago took up a place somwuere out north, and who recently return; 1 from a visit here, as one of the things prep iratory to returning collected quite a qu intity of fir seed. He hopes to start iu that treeless region a little forest of firs such as we have many of here. Since our last another signal h is ben waved back to our Alpine school, and this time it hails from S. H. Hawley : Hold the fort till I can wear A jacket, pants and siioe, Iu six or seven lieeting yens My papa'll seud me too. Since tlie election of Carlisle as speaker of the National Hoase, Republicans of this end of the country in cons uiauce with Re publicans everywhere see in the event a sureodlenof success next year, and are thereat very jubdant. It certaiuly does eem as though the Democrats had again lost their wits. Anxious and determined as they have shown themselves to carry the next presidential election at all hazards how can they afford to ignore the prevailing priciples upon the tarid' in such states as New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, In diana and some others which have for njany years ben accounted doubtful. People won't vote for a party which it raised to power is likely to in ike a free trade plat form its basis of action when it goes counter to their financial interests. The mauiu facturiug states of the north, upon the whole, want to be protected and they will tell the Democratic party so next year. The Republican party breathes easier and easier. Astorlan Items. The lost Victoria hal 1,100 cases salmon aboard. The Sarah Bell docked yesterday and will bein discharging 900 tons of coal to day. The british ship Oberon cleared yeste--day with 56,041 bushels of wheat, worth S55.480. The Gen. Miles is bringing up 1,300 cases of salmon from the Aberdeen Packing Company to load on the Oen. S. Homer. At the new O. R. & N. dock are piled several thousand cases of salmon from the West Coast T. X. L., Tillamoolc, and other packing companies. During November nineteen vessels e'eared from this port foreign bound. Of these, seventeen cleared for Queenstown, one for Hong Kong and one for Calais, France. The clearances were 844,234 bushels wheat, and 49,118 barrels flour, aggregating in value 31,079,652. Nothing has been lieord of the Tillamook schooner Alpha for over a week. .She left here on the 23d ult., and on the 25th was seen about twenty miles off Shoalwater bay. The greatest fears are felt relative to the safety of the little craft and her crew. Parties who claim to know, inform the Baker City Reveille that the cars of the Oregon Short Line are now running into Oregon. They will cross back into Idaho, and by the 1st of January will be running on regular time to Weiser city, and a month later to Old's ferry, sixteen miles this side of Weiser. So that by February 1st we will have through connection with the East by this way. It is reported that the superintendent of the Knappton Packing Company intends to do away with Chinese help next season, and employ girls to do a part of the work now done by Chinamen. Girls are in demand for housework, and if a cannery superintendent were to get twenty-five or thirty girls to take the Chi namen'3 places in his establishment, it is ten to one that the girls would leave after the first week and look for situations readily offered them in private families. At pres ent the girl is the "lwss" and doesn't pro pose to have anyone forget it. LIST OF LETTERS Remaining unclaiui" 1 iu the Postoffice at Coivallis, Benton County, Oregon, Friday, Dec. 14, 1833. Persons calling forj same will please sav "advertised," giving date of list. Communication. Grass Valiby, Wasco Co., Or., ) Dec, 6. 1883. S Grass Valley is situated in Wasco county, oetween the Deschutes and John Dajs ivers. To persons who wish to come here, or to others who wish to know something of t, together with the surrounding country, I will try to give a true and faithful descrip tion of it, from timu to time, a general out ine of crops, soil, grass, stock, climate, veather aud vacant land. How to get here. Leaving Corvallis by ra:l to Portland, you are trausfered across the river to the O. R. N. Co's railroad, and whirled eastward along the Columbia, through tunnels, across trestle work, by huge piles of sand and along the side of mountains of loose shell rock which is hun dreds of feet high with its lines of eril work built of stone to k. ep the rock (which is continually sliding from interfering with the running of the trains until you reach what is known as Grant's Station. Alou the eutire hue of R. R., the scenery is one which will well repay the traveller for the small outlay he is called upon to donate for the nrivile-'e of tcaveliiiia by rail. After reaching Grants you then get aboard the stage, bound for Gra.-s valley witl. a pleas ant driver and behind a good team to fazc upon tne noumuess roiling prairie, me home of bunch grass, pretty girls, and ac commodating settlers. After leaving Crauts Station you pass two or three places. where will be found small stores, black- smith shop, and a postoffice, (for people will read and occasionally write a letter). The distauce from Grants to Grass valley is by the stage route about thirty miles. Thirty-six hours from the time you leave C rvallis, if a person unices connections all right, will be here with us. xbout tin. f rst thing a traveller notices wheu he once trets a breath of Eastern Oregon, is our windy weather; or as is expressed here, 1 believe the wind wili blow a little, or is blowing a little. But to a person not ac customed to it, would at tunes say, it is blowing a hurricane; for it fairly shakes the houses. Aud when trying to walk againsi it finds he soon has plenty of wind, for lit too is blowing some. But a person soon gets accustomed to it in some degree, but not entirely. Now you are in rass valley, and will naturally expect to see a valley, or at least something different from all thi day long, up hill and down hill, you have seen since leaving the Columbia. But in this the traveller is disappointed, unless i' is in this respect, that it is not half so broken as the road just come over. Of course the first thing then to be done is to see something more of the vast country so much spoken of. The next is to get something to ride, w hich is easily to be had, as horses are plenty and some to spare. But the greatest difficulty yet to be overcome is to get once seated in the saddle or worse still to stay there, as horses will jump here. In speaking far '.her of the country 1 shall embrace it generally be. ween the two above named rivers, and from Grass valley to Bake Oven, as the country is similar in all respects. Nearly every gully, creek and flat is known by some name, w hich accounts for me speaking in general terms of it, although Grass valley proper is tweniy miles northeast from Bake Oven. More of it in m y next. Weather here now is beautiful. About a week ago snow fell to about four inches deep, but disappeared in a couple of days. Stock of all kinds looks well except horses which are poor owing to a disease among them all summer. Christmas is coming aud we are goii-g to have a good time. I saw Ab Wooly, an old Corvallisite, a few days ago, he looked like the same old A I-. He likes it splendid here. W. H. Arden, Martha. Winn, Mrs. F., B .al, V. M. Dr. Harrow, Henry.

The Good Templars have a flourishing lodge ot about 70 members, embracing most of the young people and quite a respectable number of the old people.
