The Lecturer. Col. L. F. Cope
knd, who will visit this city Jane
17, 18 and 19, to deliver his popu
lar lectures, "Snobs and Snob
bery," ''Mistakes of Bob," and
"The Future of the Republic," does
not come as a stranger; he was
in Oregon last year on his way to
Long Beach, Oal., where he de
livered a full course of lectures to
the summer training school, being
called to the same place to deliver
another course of lectures. He is
re-called to the points in Oregon
where he lectured last year. He
.will be in the cities of Astoria,
Portland, Salem, Eugene City,
Corvallis, and Albany. The cities
that had one night last year have
secured him for three nights this
year. The colonel stands at the
head on the American platform as
a lecturer. Corvallis is determined
to hear him, and will take all there
is in his lectures.
To Take a Voyage. J. R.
Baldwin, Esq., will leave on a
trip for the benefit of his health in
a few days. It is his intention to
go to the Sound and take a sailing
vessel for an ocean voyage. For
some tima past Mr. Bild.vin ha
been in poor health, and he thinks
that a trip on salt water will prove
a benefit. He intends taking the
first vessel that sails after he
reaches the Sound, no matter what
its destination m ly be. Mr. Bald
win has m iny friends throughout
other portions of -the state as well
as in B.iker who will wish him god
speed in his journey and hope that
he will ultimately regain his
health. -Bakei City 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,

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?'

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-.

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.
