: Surprise Party.
An impromptu surprise party was gotten
up Wednesday evening by a few friends in
the city of Mr3. Virgil Davis. The pnrly
was composed of Mrs. Emma Smith, as
chaperon, Misses Clara Cecil, Lizzie Callo
way, Rosa and Eda Jacobs and Bertha Neu
gass; and their invited gentlemen friends
who were Mose Neugass as jehu, Kobt.
Johnson for his noisy disposition, B. R. Job,
the banker, for his good looks, W. H. Maus
field as a natural consequence, Dr. C. H.
Lee, for his professional service! in the
event of an accident, and the vi iter for his
good clothes and this notice. After a very
pleasant ride of eight miles the drives pulled
np iu front of the handsome farm residence
of Mr. John Harris, know as the Oak View
Farm, one fr'f the most delightful country
residences in Benton county After a couple
of hours iilsasautly spent in rambling around
the grounds, partaking of refreshments pre
pared by the obliging hostess, etc., etc., the
party returned to Corvallis by moon light,
arriving without accident, or calling into
use the professional services of the Dr.
"Twelve Kile House" Burned.
Last Friday afternoon the residence of
Mr. U'm. Gird, long known as the twelve
mile house, the old stage station, 12 miles
south of Covydlis, was destroyed by fire.
The tire either caught from the flue or on
the roof, and aU efforts to save the building
were of no avail. Some of the furniture
and household good were removed from the
building but were also burned, caused by a
change in the iitd, which however was a
fortunate circumstance, as the barn and
other out buildings would most certsinly
have been burned had it not been foi 'So
change. The honse was insured with the
Home Insurance Co., of Salem, for SoOO,
which will coyer only about one-third of the
loss. The house was occupied by Mr. M.
O'Connor, who lost almost all of his posses
sions, not saving enough clothing for every
day wear.

Meeting of Railroad Ore tutors:
A meeting w-s held on Wednesday of
this week near Philomath by unsatisfied
men who claimed their grievance was be
cause they could not get their pay from the
Railroad Company. We learn that there
was but little enthusiasm manifested at the
meeting, but few had anything to say and
little interchange of ideas as to what they
lesired were given. Aud we also learned
that quite a number of persons were present
from idle curiosity to see what was going
on aud whom the Railroad Company did
uot owe anything. We also learned that
a committee was appointed to interview the
Railroad Company on terms of settlement
aud the same resolutions were passed as
was published in this paper last week and
which were passed at a similar meeting held
in this phtee. It certainly must be the case
that good and law abidiug citizens must
condemn and disfavor that part of their
resolutions which goes to preventing the
railroad trains and operations from going
forward. If prevented by force or without
legal authority those who thus prevent
trains from running would become viola
tors of the law and would be subject to
punishment. Our law goes further than
this because it- makes punishable by severe
penalties any person to make such person
do or not do something against their will.
Those creditors of the company who desire
and threaten to stop trains fr. m running on
the road are centainly standing iu their own
light and work against their own financial
interests, because aside from the conven
ien:e the road is to the public, while run
ning the train from a financial point of view
can earn about $1000 per week, and hence
the company would be 1000 per week bet
ter able to pay a 1 their creditors when the
t ains run than wh-.?h laying idle. Since
last week the Railroad Company have set
tled with the striking engineers, trainmen
aud bridge builders, and have alse- during
the present week, partially paid many to
whom they were indebted along the line of
the road. It is to be hoped that the com
pany will be in condition to pay eveiy thing
up before lonj;; so that the enterprise may
go a head ard come out from under the
cloud of difficulties in which it seems to be
entangled.
Ari Expected Hatca: Game.

CORRESPONEENCE.
Elk City, April 24, 1885.
Eds. Gazette:
This country is now resting-under a cloud
in consequence of the strike on the O. P. R.
R. , and the incendiary burning ot tunnel
No. 2. Just when we were expecting the
good time long looked for, when the road
should be completer! to Corvallis, some per
son or persons too far lost to all human feel
ing, burned the tunnel, and this crippled
aud impared the trade that was benefiting
the country many thousand dollars. The
people over here condemn the burning in
the most positive terms and that the per
petrators of the crime should Vie punished to
the fullest extent of the law. What good
can be accomplished by embarissirig the
company in trie wanton instruction ot tneir
property, and thus prevent them frcm doing
as well by their creditors as they would do
if left alone to operate the road iu peace.
No one who has the welfare of the country
at heart can countenance such acts of V o-
ence for a moment. It s ems to me that
the organization who have undertaken to
control the road aud prevent work by force
partakes more of a mob than the strikers
and they .-an not get the sympathy and sup-
ort of law abiding citizen. The company
owes a great ininy h w I laboring men that
ought to have their money, but I have no
ubt that every dollar will be pail in full
as S"0n as it possibly can be done. As times
ire very h.n and money Scarce let men be
iiatient and give their influence to prevent
the distraction of property and unlawful
ombinatinns and orgrnizations. Reason
hould rule in this matter instead of igni -
ranee, passion and iiotneaneitness. rsotuin..
can possibly be gained by such a course and
much may be lost. Notwithstanding all
this trouble an I dis' motion of property th
ad will be complete I au l the c untry wi 1
fuel the inrpn'se and benefit, ot a good rail
road to the sea. C.
there trill be no deviation:

On Friday the 24th, the Y. W. C. T. U.,-
of this city gave another of thur pleasant
tea parties, t th : resilience of R. M.
Thomps m, an inVitatation was extended to
the Albany V. W. C. T. U., which was ac

from Albany arrived bringing the Snpt, ami
some tweutv tive members, both ladies and

seme beautiful floral tributes. A lovely
harp made of pinsics on wis, with gold
braid for the strings and a piilnw of snow
balls and rose buds, were presented from
the Albany Union, an 1 a beautiful sheild
of paalies and suow balls fr'ri the State
3apt, Mrs. Mark Brown.
After the usual iiftr.xlnctioas a few words
of welcome were spoken in behalf of the
Corvallis Union by their Sunt, followed by
the serving of tea, etc, aril all those who
have tasted the goo I thing? prepair 'J by
the fair hands of the Y. V. cau well imag

G:py comiug wit:: a baaiet of fl nvers tell
ing the fortunes of the young people. The
President of the Albany Union, Hiss Kir't

were also made by .Mr. L. E. Bh.ine,
Snpt. of A'br-ny Union, by Mr. Sturgill in
behalf of the bouary members of the Union
of this city, and by an honorary member of
che Albany Union, whose name we failed
to learn, also by Miss Howard of Albany,
who spoke with much earnestness about the
great, work which lies before them as Y. W.
ot the Union. Miss Custer of Phi!matb
Union, made a few rem irks showing that
her heirt was in the work.
T ie wSo'.e evening passed off very pleas
antly, although we learn that a very pleas
ant part of the programme was omitted on
account of time and also room to cany out
their plans. Such a Union is a credit to
any city, as it helps to elevate the standard
of womanhood aud manhood, wherever
such in organisation exists. The organiza
lion is new in Oregon, but. as the Sapt. of
Albany said, we are sure of it? being an or
