CORVALLIS, OR., MAY 17, 1889.
The Presbyterian Church House.
On Monday last the' board of trus
tees of tho Presbyterian church of this
city met to open the bids for repairing
and improving the church. .C. R.
Morrison being the lowest bidder he
, was iiven the contract -The spire
will be torn down and rebuilt out of
new material with the same design, the
Vestibule will be rearranged so that
there will be but one entrance and that
directly in the centre, a new roof will
be put on and then everything repaint
ed. It will be very nice when com
pleted. This church has stood in its
present location for over thirty-one
years with but very little additional
work being put on, and it now deserves
a new lot ot lumber and a coat or two
of paint. The Presbyterian denomi
nation of this city and vicinity was
founded in Sept. 23, 1S53, with three
members, S. K. Brown, John Grubbe,
and Mrs. E. Bell Hsnna, with Rev. J.
A Hanna, as the first pastor. Since
that time, "Dr. Geary, H. it. Avery, A.
Simpson, W. Monteith, R. Wiley, D.
K. Nesbit, L. G. Downing, I. F.
Knowle3and H. P. Dunning, have oc
cupied the pulpit, and now in this 'itf
year finds Rev. E. J. Thompson as the
jmstor. he having been in this place
nearly every Sabbath day for the past
two years, and no more highly educa
ted or genial a person cm be found
than he. This is the second Presbyte
rian organization on the Pacific coast
and was first called the Marysville
1'irst Presbyterian church. Its en
rollment has been nearly 400 members,
"and its present membership is over 70.
It can be said that this church has rep
resentiws in a majority of the Presbyte
rian churches of Oregon K. H.
Piper now of Salmi, was the first per
soti to unite with this church after :ts
organization, also one o! the first mem
bers of the Presbyterian church in that
city. Tim Donahue, the old sexton,
was the workman who layed the brick
' for the foundation of Corvaliis' church,
nd the brick and lumber were made
sind prepared here. " The old bell
which has rung nearly every Sunday
for a qu u ter ol a century, and which
was brought around "the horn" from
Mest Troy, "N". Y., wiil take a rest for
a whiie.
Articles Filed. The Salem
Statesman, of May 10th, says. "Ar
ticles of incorporation were filed yes
terday in the ollice of the secretary of
state as folhiws: The Corvaliis Amal

incorporators.
At the Waterworks. The wind
mili and its pump, having been placed
in position at the new waterworks
last Saturday, was let loose and al
lowed t run. Everything worked
smoothly for awhile and quite
an amount of water was carried up.
At present it is not working as some
thing is wrong with the valves of the
numD. You ean form some idea
about the lifting power of the mill by
learning that when the valves refused
to do tlieir duty the pull was strong
enough from the wheel to lift the
ivhole length of 8-inch pipe (over 100
feet) up a few inches. From the end
of the suction pipe in the river to the
end of the pipe at the top of the
tower it is over 212 feet, and this
shows that it requires some work and
pressure to get the water up there.
J. C. Young is now engeged in con
structing the building just on the east
side of the base .of the tower in
which to place the large boiler which
is in use and stands at the foot
of Madison street.
On May 24th. The public schools
will close on Friday, May 24th, and
examination in the different rooms
will occur dmiug the coining week.
The promotion "&nd literary exercises
will take place in the city hall on the
24th. On that evening a speaker
from Salem will address the pupils of
all the public schools, and all their
friends are invied to be present.
4,CC6. An acre- of prune trees in
the vicinity of Salem yielded 4,666
pounds of dried prunes last year, and
this very thing can- .fee' done around
" and close to . Corvaliis. Purchase
yourself a few acres and try it..
T. C. Case is now prepared to give you a
bath if you desire one. He has just fitted
up his barber shop with a tub, c'e.in and
.. neat in every particular, ad has both hot

PLENTY OF FALL.
Favorable Report by Civil
Engineer Cooper,
A STEAM GRIST MILL.
Over $13,000 Worth of Stock taken
Already in It Every
body Booms.
The size of the number present at
the water ditch meeting ou Tuesday
night shows which way the wind
blows. The interest is grow ing niore
apparent every day. At the meeting
Saturday night Mr. Cooper only showed
how the water could be taken out of
the Willamette near the Finley ware
house and carried to the heal of the
prairie which is twelve miles or more
above here, it being three or four miles
farther to th warehouse. He thought
that a survey had been made over the
twelve miles, and did not report any far
ther, but offered to go and make a
rough survey of the whole distance,
which was done and ou Tuesday night
made a repoit. lie said that in his
workings lie found that an average of
fificeu inches of fall to the mile could
be secured over the whole distance
which would give about eighteen feet
fall when Corvaliis was reached; that
il'adi.ch eight feet wide and three feet
deep could be dug it would furnish
about 180 horse power. After his re
port was heard, a committee was ap
pointed to raise $G00 tc pay for hiring
engineers to make a thorough survey
of the route, estimate the cost of diff
erent sized ditches over eight feet, so
that everything would be in readiness
in case of such a project being carried
out as getting water power for Corval
iis. Take it all over, the report of
Mr. Cooper makes every one in Cor
valiis jubilant and shows that if all
will pull one way that this city will
push right ahead said get out of the
rut of slowness and mossbackism.
Another movement is on foot in Cor
valiis just now, and there is ho doubt
but that it will be carriedoufc. A steam
grist mill company is going to be organ
ized and the roaring of its mill will
probably le heard before the winter
comes again. W. A. Wells, T. Sam
uels, Pun. Avery and others are into
the project and already $13,000 worth
of stock has been subscribed. The
fiist n imed gentleman proposes giving
his property just north of the foot of
Monroe street, consisting of a large,
fine warehouse, including the engine,
boiler and other machinery, and the
around imon which it is situated, as a
portion of his stock, and Mr. Samuels
is derious ofalso getting into such a
scheme since his being thrown out of
of a business by the burning of his
mill at Monroe. Several others are
inclined in this direction, and as they
ar all substantial citieens, everything
seems favorable. Mr. Wells is enthu
siastic on the water ditch idea, but says
that he could not secure enongh power
from it to run such a mill, as it would
require at least 70 horse pov er and
that would be nearly a third of what a
water ditch here would afford. But
then it is evident th it "she's a go."
Duxn Drew the Gun. Marshal
Dunn committed an act on last Satur
day night in Mattox's saloon which
every one is not allowed to do he
drew a gun on C. A. Loud. That is
he drew it in a raffle. It was the
Colt' hammerless shotgun, costing
$135, which Mr. Loud concluded wus
to heavy for him and therefore raffled
it off. There were thirty-five chances
at -$2 each, and as Mr. Dunn had two
chances he shook one, and let W.
Johnson shake the other which
amounted to forty, the highest num
ber. - L. Dyer threw the dice for Mr.
Kriebel, who had a chance, and
showed up thirty-nine. The lowest
number was twenty-one, by Mr.
Fryer, of the planing mill.
Pennoyeh- Berries. The straw
berries laid down here from Thos.
Farquar's garden, of Roseburg, were
thought to be immense, but they wore
bidly discounted yesterday by a b;x
from the penitentiary garden in this
city. Sixteen of these berries filled a
quart box heaping full and the largest
measured 7$ inches around, superin
tendent Downing did not know to
what particular variety they belonged,
so he christened them the, Pennoyer
variety. He says a few days of good
weather will leave them fully a ton of
the finest berries. in the eountry.

Freight. At the elevator dock on
Tuesday afternoon stood eight car
loads of merchandise, iron pipes, etc.,
awaiting shipment to points below on
the river. Among it was a 3,600
pound machine for Salem's ice works
and a lot of water pipe for her water
works. The Hoag loaded the most
of this and started down on Wednes
day morning. The river is at a splen

A Nice "Office. The real estate
office of McConnell & Eglin on Second
street, has been enlarged, .repainted,
repapered, and recarpeted, ajid it is
now as handsome a room as probably
there is ia Corvaliis. A new $30

Among the vahi-tble bird dogs' owned
by Corvallisites, 1 Hud:
"Sport," owned by Zepli Job, a tine
specimen of the Sensation pointer, a cele
brated stock, and at the henl of the win
ners among the pointers. Sport is a tiuo
fiVld performer, rem irkuble nose aud ple.ity
of ttaying qualities and as eager after a
bird in the Held as his owner is after the
10 per cent or a corner on real estate.
"Jack," owned by Ed. Bier, "a dropper."
A cross between the setter and pointer.
Jack, for a puppy, is a good field dog with
good nose, tiue speed and staunch on a
point, and in time with careful training
will make a hard one to beat. Like his
owner heis fondof goin it alone and if
trusted with any thing "wet" he is sure to
"drink it all up."
Ben," owned by the luckiest man in
Benton county, the Hon. James Dunn, is
also a "dropper" bnt t ikes after his sire,
a setter. B.511 is a fine Hold worker, staunch
on a point and a good retreaver. Ben is a

'Spot," a fine pointer owiwd by O. C.
MoClagan, is one of our best fi jld dogs, a
gol ranger, stead yon a point and will wind
a pheasant 100 yards. Ho only needs work
to make him a winner. Spot is not back
ward in helping himself to the goo I thiu;
this he takes from his m ister.
G. W. Smith oVns a fine red Irish setter.
I do not know his field record but if he is
not a good one it is not his fault as he
shows plenty of speed and Kno t sense.
"Fat," a fine red Irish setter owned by
W. A. Wells, a good specimen of the cele

Pat has not had a g-md field trailing as he
would surely make a good one.
Geo. Emerick also owns a fioe pup,

CHIT WOOD CHIPS.
Chitwood, May 13, ISS0.
Weather stormy. .
We can see the snn rise if we climb a
mountain, is what some of our joun peo
ple thought one evening last week and
they did climb and had a line tune.
There is a hen here that takes the cake for
laying big eggs. She deposited one that
measured on the ci renin fcrence 1 by 6
inches. Who can beat that?
We would like to see the game law en
forced more rigidly. It would be a bene
fit to those wiio feel disposed to violate it.
A feeling of sorrow comes over us as wo
realize that tho people of C rval'is want to
make their town a pasture for cow 3. If
they will send their cows out here they
can have plenty of pasture free of charge.

Principal Again. The school
board of this district met on Friday
evening last in regular meeting, and
among thier business elected Prof.
W. E. Yates principal of the schools
for the next school year, and set the
first Friday m June as the time for
appointing the assistants. They will
do this so that it will give thos, who
have made applications for these po
sitions and were not accepted, a chance
to hunt new plaees. Mr. Yates lias
been the principal for the past year
and is liked by every one both as
teacher and f. gentleman. There
were others who desired this place but
they will have to abide by the de
cision of the directors.
Thunder, Etc T-ast Saturday was
a very warm aay in torvaius umu
about 5 p. rn.. when a heavy wind
came up and huge clouds arose from
the north and west. At 6 o clock
black cloud bean coming over from
the north and bv 7:30 the fiercest
linhtninir fl.ishes and the loudest
thunder pealf' that have been seen or
heard from this city occurred. It was
genuine chain lishtmnz, and the
heavens were exceedingly full of it.
Shortly afterwards a heavy rainfall set
in aud lasted a few hours, pulling
the roads in good condition for Sun
day driving, and purifying the atmos
phere in places.
Valuable Cow Dbad. Prof.
Yates lost bis fine cow on Tuesday
forenoon last. She had been baited
in the yard for awhile, and then was
turned out for the rest of the day.
She had gone out towards W. T.
Hoffman's place and in a short time
began to kick and finally fell down
dead. There was Home wild parsnip
crowing in the professor's yard and
probably she bad eaten some of it,
which caused ber death. She was
valued at $75. Mr. Yates says she
probably concluded to take her life
because be voted ' yes" on the cow
question on the 6th inst. Prof.
Grimm
thinks she died fioni eating
too much clover,
