He intends taking the first vessel that sails after he reaches the Sound, no matter what its destination m ly be.

Baker Citv Blade. Those Notices. The statement that W. T. Burney, the register of the Oregon City land ofiice, caused official notices to be published only in democratic papers is not true. We see many notices by him in the Hillsboro . "Independent," a republican paper. Oregonian. Yes, and he was asked to publish !iis Hand notice" of Mr. Eastman's, in the Gazette but he sent it to the up-street contemporary, which is democratic. But then, he did just right ifhe is a democrat let him be a thorough one ,and Kke wipe a republican. . For Young Men Only. "Drop a plumb line from the tip of a perfectly formed woman's nose, and it will touch a point one inch in front of her great toe. Her ; neck and thigh should be of the same circumference. She should stand not above five feet seven, or "below five feet three, and should Weigh not more than 140 pounds," say an exchange. All Corvallis -young men should carry the above in their pocketbooks, and follow its - instruction when they are "lovesick." V Sand. The East Oregon Her ald is published in Burns, . Harney county, and comes to this office each week. For the last four or five weeks the paper has been . filled with sand, regular Eastern Oregon sand, which no doubt sifts in through the mail bag while be ing carried by the etage to the railroad 'station. Telephone-Register. Tt'3 generally a good thing to have plenty of sand. Lost. A small pair of folding pocket nail scissors. Finder will .be rewarded for return of same to the Gazette office. GONE UP IN SMOKE. SOT JIENIX LIKE, BUT BT THE WORK 0 THE BLAZING ELEMENTS. About 12:15 m., on Friday the bouse occupied by H. E. Harris, situated On the sontbeast corner of Washington and Fourth streets, burned id the ground. The fire started near the kitchen flue in the roof, and as the building was very dry it was soon com pletely taken up in smoke. , Every thing in the upper story of the house was destroyed, while the contents . of the lower floor were all saved. A piano was damaged somewhat in being carried out, but it was insured for $300, while the furniture was "insured for $500. The building was valued at about $700 or $S0O. The next lire was on Monday morning about 2:3$ o'clock, and in the northern portion of town "on Second street, near the residence of Ed. F; ! Bier. It was in a small room 12x14, owned by the Thomas boys, formerly residents of Corvallis, and was occu pied by a mJn named Zumwalt, hav ing a bedstead and a stove in it at the time. The nre was evidently the work of an incendiary, but who the culprit is no one knows. At both of these fires the pressure of water was very slight through the mums and it is about time the hydrants Were attended to, so in cssa another fire should start some thing can be clone besides pointing a 10-foot stream at it. TEMPERANCE WOltK. To the V. C. T. U. workers through out Benton county Greeting: At the sessions of both the county and state convention, our work was: presented by the superintendent of the Sunday school department. A lively discussion followed in the county convention showing that a deep interest was felt in this department, and a resolution was presented and unamimously adopted by the conven tion "asking the international Sunday school convention, in its annual meet ing for 1890, to place the temperance lesson on some other than the last Sunday of the quarter." In the state convention after the work had been presented Mrs. L. A. Nash, president and superintendent of . the state, presented the resolution which had been past by the intern a tional convention in an anual session which was a? follows: Reserved, That with emphasis we give expression to a conviction, which (deepens with the passing years, that every Sabbath-school should be in fact and effect, a temperance training school fitting the rising generation for active and aggressive effort in this and every other department of Christain work. We trust the time may speedily come when every teacher and scholar in our Sunday schools shall, by example and precept, practice and protfiote temper ance; when none shall follow the bad precedent of him who asked: "Am I my brother's keeper?". And Rev. Rogers again presented the one -adopted in the county, both were adopted without a dissenting voice. Both sessions were well at tended by our people, and we feel that our work will make a. better showing next year, L. A D. A NICK PUBLIC PARK. Eds. Gazette: - 1 see that you are favorably dis posed toward any enterprise, which will enhance the pleasure of the peo ple or beautify the city and make it more attractive. So, I come to you with a new plan in which public gath erings can be held, and there is noth ing in that line to attract tourists from surrounding places. Lying on the east bank, up little "Crystal Lake," along the county road leading through the river, botton, is a tract of beautifully shaded land, which if it was fenced, wigwam . placed in it and seated, a windmill, with pipes reaching to the lake, a fountain could play, flowers and ornamental shrubs planted, rustic seats erected under those rustic maple trees on the bank, 'a yacht house built, where skiffs and minature yachts could be kept; stock sheds putover on the east side' near the lake. Then a county fair could be held, and here would be a nice place for public assembles, picnics, Sunday school reunions, etc. . Mr. Lily is clearing the land near this, so if any steps are- taken to secure this delight ful spot for a park, it must be inime diately. Can't stock company take hold- ot, this enterprise? Strangers visiting the city always asks: "Where is the Park?' Ju A.

Ox TiME.--Th9 Southern Pacific pay-car made its regular monthly visit to Corvallis on yesterday morning and then proceeded on down, onthe westsideJ SPORTING MOTES, The Corvallis Rod and Gun club held a meet on Friday, the 7th, with a good attendance; Before the regular shooj Jpb demanded satisfaction from Smith and the result was another match of twenty-five" black birds each." Smith kept up his steady good shoot ing, while Job was a little off. It looks as if .Job. was laying for a big match and wlieri Mie time comes he will scoope all in. Following is the club score: Fifteen black birtts each. G. W; Smith, 12; Reed, 5; Job, 9; Di-. Smith, 9; Fuller; 6j Hcnkle, 9; C. A. Loud, 12; Dr. Taylor shot at 10, scor ing 5; I. Porter 5 out of 10; Slate" 6 out of 10. The birds gave out and Smith aud Loud could not shoot off the tie on first prize. The club will hold its next shoot to-day the 14th. ty. Marshal James Dunn ppent a few days last week m the foot hi'ls casting the.fly among the riffels. He reports lots of fun fishing, only a few hours each day with a total of over 300. E. M. Davisson brought in a creal, the results of a few hours fishing which counted 146. Zeph Job isfill the king fisherman; 149, but Mr. Davisson says had he known' that he was so near beating Job's" big string he could easily have taken a few more. Jim Irwin, A. Hodes, Geo. Parvin, and Cal Hntton ran the streams on Sunday last and brought in over 300 speckled beauties. The boys from Mary's peak report bear, panther and wild cat scarce, but weather fine. '.'Be sure and call me at three o'clock to-morrow moaning," was the parting words of our king fisherman to. the night watchman. , "All right," came back the answer, and at 3:15 a. m. Zeph rode out of town -with his man Friday bound for the foot hills, saying to himself, "I v:ll beat my old record to-day 'or bust.' I wjjH give the boys a lesson to learn with the rod and flj." After a drive of twelve mile a solitary fisherman could have been seen splash ing along the riffels, first here and then there, but not a strike. "Where are the fish," he was heard to say quite often. Now and then a small fish was his reward, and so passed the day, when about sundown he overtook two knights of the tod with alout 500 fine trout, "H llo," he said, "What luck?" ' Good lurk," was the answer "We have some over 500. How with you, my friend?" "Oh, poor luck, only twenty-seven, and I have run the brook for over ten milef.'1 ."The fact is my friend," said one of the lucky fisher men, "we heard there was a man named .Job from Corvallis, a mighty fisherman, who was coming out to clean out this- brook '. to-day, so we started in yesterday morning and have been fishing ever since. They say he fishes by steam, and if you see him just tell him the countrymen got in a little ahead this time." "Yes, oh, yes, I'll tell hirriall about it; good day gentlemen." ''".-" Little Ingen. MARY S PEAK, The following is what one of the party, wha went to Mary's Peak last Friday, has to say of hiti trip: Last Thursday a party of five, in cluding the writer, started for Mary's peak. This is-the highest mountain in the Coast range and "one of which Mary ought to be proud. It is cover ed with snow two-thirds of the year on an average. The distance from Corvallis is estimated at. 20 miles, but this must be a mistake, for we stepped it and now offer ourselves in evidence against such an assertion. . But can didly, the trip might be made pleasant. A good wagon road runs from Cor vallis to within six miles of the top, and from there a very good mountain trail leads to the summit of the peak. The journey over the trail can easily be made with horses, or a pedestrian like the writer can bite the snow in just three hours, schedule time. It was our first trip, and we must confess our surprise at the sight that met our view as we stepped upon Mary's green cranium. The trail is lined with thick, heavy timber, and the constant ascent for over four miles is hardly realized until you step on the "brow of the hill," at an elevation of -4347 feet From here the sight is something grand, and as you take a bird's-eye view of the Willamette valley and look down on the towns of Philomath, Corvallis, Albany, Eugene and many others, you forget your weary limbs and feel amply repaid for your tedious trip. - Looking to the west, the vision glides over the Coast range mountains and with a second look you see the broad Pacific kissing the sky. On the western side of the peak is beauti ful camping ground,, and these nestled- among the trees, one ought to enjoy himself for a week at legist, with abundance of fuel and a mountain stream "at your door:" Hunting is very good, but it takes an expert to be very successful, is the larger game are very wild. The grouse keep up a continued hooting and an occasional brood of Chinese pheasants 1 tt be seen. -. v ' . The beauties of Mary's peak are beeoming more generally known, and the number of visitors, are growing j early. A party of twenty from Phi lomath, including Mr. and Mrs. J. J. feryaD, Mr. and Mrs. Sheak, Mr. - and Mrs. Keezel and others climbcd"to the summit on Friday, where they spent several days In ' healthful recreation. Other parties in Corvallis are trying to arrange a visit, and with pleasant weather, we believe . they would have no reason to regret the trip. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.'
