This valuable work, the compilation of -which was begun something over a year ago, as now on our table, illustrated, copyrighted and published by D. D. Fagau, Esq. The work is well worthy of the perus.il of every .'citiz-ln of our country, containing as it does a complete history of the county, including its geology, topography, soil and produc tions, together with the early history of the '""Pacific coast, compiled from the most au--ttartic source; a full political history, com prising a tabular statement of officers of the -County since its formation; incidents of pio neer life and biographical sketches of early .and prominent citizens; criminal history; t.M ahnwin? earlv assessments from 1850 to 1884, .and also a table showing the re ceipts and disbursements from 1851 to 1884; population from 1S60 and every ten years thereafter; and also containing the history of the towns, cities, churches, schools, se cret societies, etc. , and many other inter estiiig sketcnes too numerous to mention. The illustrations, of wiiich there are thirty five in number, consisting of public and pri vate buildings, farm and farm residences, .are from the pen of J. T. Pickett, are artis tic in execution and wojld adorn the pages of any work. The biography of nearly 200 of our prominent citizens adorns the work. The history of itself, so far as we are able to judge, is reliable and correct as to date and events, and is written in J. P. Munro J)ras er's hanmest stvle. Mr. Fa;an informs us that about 800 copies have been subscribed for. and that he is meeting with success in the delivery of the same. Snooting Affray at Wells. A Vootin? affrav occurred at Wells Sta tion nn the West Side railroad a few miles north of Corvallis on last Monday evening, in which George Snell shot John Stew ard, Loth of whom were lads of only about 14 years of age. The pistol used in the shoot ing was a 4 4-caliber Bull Dog; the ball en tered the right cheek of the unfortunate lad "Jthdit is thought will prove fatal, though at jast accounts he was still alive. The shoot ing is clouded in mystery, as no quarrel or fend was ever known to exist between the parties, and it is hoped was accidental. Both of the lads are of highly respected families of that vicinitv. A warrant for the arrest of young Snell was placed in the hands of an officer on Tuesday afternoon. Proline Productions. Mr F. A. Horniutr. livtna about 14 west of Corvallis, brought to town last Wednes day some of his garden products which for aize;- We consider somewhat extraordinary. Two specimens of beet, or mangel wurtzel, weighed respectively 52 and 58 lbs., and one head of cabbage 44J lbs. Some time ago the Portland Standard boasted ot a beet weiirhm?40 lbs., and challenged auyone to beat it. Mr. Horning is several pounds ahead, and will wear the belt until some larger productions are reported. These spec imens will likelv be shipped to the State Board of Immigration rooms. A Lively Runaway. TVesdav forenoon as Mr. Wm. Irwin was driving into town and just approaching the track by ithe Corvallis foundry, the team be earne frightened at the engine on the turn table, and wheeling at right angles, started bp the street towards the depot, throwing Mr. Irwin, who was the only occupant of the hack, to the ground. The team ran on ly a few rods farther when they smashed a wheel aud tore loose from the hack, and left it in a badly demoralized condition. Mr. Irwin was considerably bruised but not seriously.

Little Jessie RoWe had the misfortune to break bis right arm last Sunday, by falling from a small wagon with which he and some other small boys were playing. Dr. Farra was called and set the broken member, tud the sufferer is how doing nicely. This make the fifth time the same arm ha been broken and it is likely he will be playing on our streets again in a few days, but it is hoped not to meet with tbe same misfortune the sixth time. Hovel Marriage. Last Wednesday afternoon a couple bent on matrimony were united for life by .lude Bryaon in tbe store of J. Senders in this itv. The hauDV couple were Ja. moore and MUs Eliza Oaks, both of this county. The cermouy was without pomp and splend or, and seemed to be entirely satisfactory to the contracting parties. Meade C.wper am) Jas. Osburn were witnesses to the cert mouy. Jake now claim one-half of Judge Br y son's fee a presiding officer. Wonderful If Tru. An Albany paper perpetrate the follow- inff: "Wallace Baldwin, of Corvallis, was roused from hi sleep on, Monday nhzht,-12ch inst., by a lowl rap on the oor. Hastily donning hi, pant he went to the door and amaait it. . when a laree Chinook salmon held up its tail and Wallace read the follow ing notice which was .engra veil on brass aqd attached to the nsb a uaud.l extremity by swivel: 'I am tbe first salmon that scaled the hah ladder at Oregon City. .1 made- the riffle by taking my tail in. .my , mouth - and rolling over. I led the attack on the stag in Southern Oregon when it was crossing the Umpqua. I am now on roy way to Alaska to interview Judge Dawne and notify him that h is suspended. T shall immediately - return to Salem and be present at the elec tion of a senator. I know who is going to be elected and if' you will give me a chaw of tobacco I will tell youl' Wallace iuadvsr tantly rammed hi band into his breeches pocket and while polling away at the weed the salmon cocked hi eye, flapped his tail and was off like a rocket. Wallace says 'the salmon left in the direction of Mary's river. It has probably gone to Mary Peak to take it bearing for Alaska. Mr. Bald win was so dumbfounded that he. cannot give an exact description of tbe salmon. He i says, howevM, it looked very fishy.' " true as regards the bankers and brokers of Portland I do not propose to ditcuss. I write to say that as regards all wheat ship ped to San Francisco, via Yaquina, by tbe Oregon Pacific from Corvallis, the following arrangements has been made with one of the chief Warehouses in connection with that city. First On. all wheat delivered there by the steamer Yaquina no landing charges are mad. Second Wheat can be Stared there until January 1, 1886, for 50c par ton, and until January 1, 1886, at 72c per t,,n. Third On all wheat so stored an advance will be made to the owner, if he desire it, up to 920 per ton equal to 60c per bushtd at the rate of 6 per ceut per annum. Fourth Insurance on grain be tween Yaquina and Sau Francisco can be effected to-day at tbe rate of 40c per 9100, with prospects of a reduction to a still lower figure at an early day. It will thus be ap- I parent to every farmer and business man in j Oregon that "robber rates need not be feared, either in transportation, handling, storing or selling grain entrusted to this route, which cairien it to the highest mar ket on the Pacific coast.

Tbe first indication was a funnel-shaped cloud pawing through the ky rapidly. The wind began io blow furiously, and fast commenced its work at Geo. Ebbert'a place, blowing two or three different fences several yards. At Mr. J. H. Goodman' place the wind Mowed a plank fence away and then struck a work shop and took it up iu the air and carried it at least fifty feet aud broke the plank, in tbe same into splinters.. It next struck a flock of sheep and carried them in the air for fifteen yard, but did not kill any of thtm. It is the general opinion that the storm was of a ey clonic nature. Nothing of the' same kind Was ever seen in Lane county hereto fore. Can it be possible that Oregon will be subject to Eastern cyclones in time? Guard.
