Deadbkat asd liousr. Sheriff
jtfackay, John Scrafford and John
Riely, returned from a trip to the
Cascade mountains, along the line
of the Oregon Pacific, on Monday
last. They report a splendid time
wif-h a few exceptions. Scrafford
was reported to the hotel keeper
at Gates as a deadbeat and at
Mills City Sheriff Mackay and Mr.
Riely would not be allowed to sleep
in one of the regular beds on ac
count of being "lousy." The way
thisall started was first through
the sheriff, who, on the trip up,
told the Gates hotel man that
VScraf never paid his bills, was a
deadbeat, etc., but he got his bed all
right in time. "Scraf" didn't say
-very much, but on the return put
up a job on Benton county's
sheriff about being lousy and also
implicated Riely. Both of these
gentlemen have ordered a tomb
si one for Scrafford, to be made by
his own hands. They had ' better
sue him for libel.
- Runaway. John Custer, - who
resides on the bol. lung place
about three miles south of this city,
q:i Tuesday afternoon, had quite a
runaway. lie was hauling oats
to Corvallis and in coming into the
road from a field with a wagon
loaded with seventy five bushels
he had to go through a gate. After
he had closed the gate and just as
he had seated himself on the. load
his team, two bunch-grass horses,
started to run and he was pulled
clown between the single tree . and
the "near" horse, but luckily he
fell just far enough so that the
wheel did not hit him, but a few
sacks of oats fell on him causing
some severe cuts and bruises. He
was unconscious for awhile, and
was carried to a house by some
men wno were . working witn a
threshing machine. Dr. Apple
white was sent for "and at last re
ports Mr. Custer was recovering,

AFTER COOL BREEZES.
THE GAZETTE FORCE FILLED WITH SEA AIE
AT NEWPORT.
The publishers, compositors, etc.,. of
the Gazette office, desirous of taking
one good breath entirely clear of the
scent of festive paste-pot and the high
Icolored ink-barrel and getting their
annual bath, fixed themselves lip'on;
Saturday last and boarded the Oregon
Paci6c train bound for Vivquina bay.
The train, as it pulled out from the de
pot at 1:40 p. m. with E 1. Ford at the
throttle and Conductor Kenedy master
of ceremonies, consisted of one mail
and express car, a. baggage car, and
three CoacJes well filled.1 There were
Salem, Albany, Erjene, and . Corvallis
people, numbering in all about 200,
and as each station was reached others
got : on" which smelted the number to
about 250. . T'ie vide over was very
pleasant, excepting some parts of the
road where the dust was 'very thick.
Arriving at YaqnmaCtty a general stam
pede was made for the boat which was
to take all to Newport, four miles down
theay. -While waiting for the crowd
to get their baggage and trunks loaded
on, it was learned that every available
sleeping room was engaged in advance,
and that forty or mote would have to
walk in the streets or bunk down by
the breakers.' While we were just
about giving up a'l - hopes of r having
a good time and wishing ou reel ves back
in Corvallis, some good' man hiuted to
us that we might find a room, with
only a three-qitarter bed in it, by go.
ing to a certain house on top of the hill.
Oh! when the bo.it landnd this writer
fairly flew up the sand path . and the
good old lady who owned the resi
dence was approached on the subject
of letting ns have that 3-quarter bed,
and whea we showed her a 4-quaiter
dollar she gave us full charge of the
room for that night nd when another
dollar of the same kind was shown we
got it for Sunday night a'so. Some of
the crowd stopped at Yaquiaa City
over night and came to Newport the
n xt day, being afraid that no sleeping
accommodations could be had. Of the
130 or more who did go to Newrorf
about twenty were unable to secure
rooms.
Nothing of much interest occured on
Saturday evening onlv the large num
ber of people walking up and down
the principal streets. Miss Maud
Hoffman gave one of her "select read"
ings" that night in Titnian's hall, before
a good-sized audience.- . On tMonday
night she was at Toledo. -.
About 10 o'clock in the stilly night,
we, with our chain, dropped into that
3-quarter bed arid slept "like a log" un
til 5 a. m. on Sunday,; " when w,e arose.
After pulling on our. unmentionables
or something like thgt, and drawing
on the rest of the necessary, coverings
of the body, a stroll was had down to
the beach. V- Getting on to the , govern
ment works ef the north jetty and
walking out to the erid of the trestle
work where the work of drivinsj . the
piles was being done, a good view of
the south beach, the , south jetty, and
the" wrecked" " Yaquina Baywas had,
between the clouds of fog that were
coming in off the ocean. The govern
ment works on the north, beach be
ginning at Newport are a big thing.
Just belov the entrance to the Ocean
House grounds is the "found house,
the cBal house, the swinging crane,
and other apparatus belonging to the
government All -of this was , built on
piling and at the end of the coal house
begins the approach extending out : to
where the jetty proper begins. Desirous
of knowing how many piles already
had' been driven, and how many feet
of trestle there was, this writer putgjn
a little time figuring. Beginning at the
goal house there was 196 rows of piles,
in 4s and 3s, making 633 already driven,
and allowing about fifteen feet between
each row there is about 2,940 feet of
the work completed, j This follows the
bluff around about two-thirds of the
distance between ""Newport: and. the
north, point, and then Btarts out tow
ards the middle of the entrance to
the bay. A narrow gauge track is laid
upon the top of this work and a loco
motive and several cars are used to
haul the" rock, lifted from the barge by
the crane at the Ray dock, to the place
where ii is to be dumped between the
piling. This north jetty will probably
extend over 3,000 feet out into the
water, aud it will, do great good in
eepeiring the wateron the bar. . : m
Wherever you go along the beach
you will run against a photographer's
outfit and mny are fhe"; cameras that
have been pointed irp and. down the
coast. Mrs. C K. Sterrison, the photo-
taker of Corvallis,. located at the
entrance to the Ocean house grounds
and is doing a very good business in
htr line. Ed. Seidler, who wis - once
a waiter in the Occidental hotel-, has
an exteusive bath-house down near
the government Water tank, and is
getting oceans of patronage. There
were about sixty1 peopl bathing on
Sunday afternoon, old and young;,v -
Services ; were hell- both morning
and evetiing bir Sunday Rev. IS. J,
Thompson, of the Presbyterian church
here, holding church in ' the Presbyte
rian hal 1 in. th e evening. ..
Tents are stretched ;at many, places
on top of the r bluff back of Newport,
and every house large : or small, is
tented. ; T";
Deep-se fishing is one of . the sports
there the schooner Mischief going out
every day over the bar nd to a place
about 6 miles from" shore. It can't be
said that all who take this trip enjoy it
very well for very now and then some
one says' "Oh ! 1 wish I was dead,"
"She can't sink any too quick for me,".
etc. It is astonishing how many peo
ple want to die right a way wherj they
get over the bar and into the swells.
Among the sick . Corvallisijes on the
schooner on Sunday's trip was Olf.
Wilson, and he was the first to begin
saying "New Yor-r r k," and as he lay
on the deck he would ask others if
they were sick, and when told they
were, poor, delapidated, stoirfach
wreiiched Olf svould say "that's good,"
in a very weak tone of voice; but he
was not the only sick. There was Mr.
, who is book keeper in
the office of the Salem flouring mills,
goodness, how bick - he was. Mr. A.
Bush of Salem, heard him express the
degree of sickness he had" reached.
Corvallis' elocutionist was also .placed
on the sick list although on the start
she-was positive that site could "stand
the storm." Just as the Mischief was
crossing the bar, coming in, a heavy
swell struck her and dashed all over
the deckst scattering .fish, buckets, and
sick people in every direction. Miss
Carrie Baldwin, who was reclining on
the deck in a sea-sick condition, came
near being washed over board
Every one seemed greatly relieved
when the schooner was tied up at the
dock again and they could sit down in
a comfortable clmir in the hotel.
Sunday night and to bed again .with
mind set to rise at1 5 o'clock Monday
morning to take the boat for Yaquina
City to board the twin for home
AH this was accomplfshed without
trouble and now, as we write, a wish is
expressed to be over to Newport again.
The next time such a trip is made, we
are going to take about three overcoats,
as they are always needed day and
night. "
Reader, farewell.-.
Wheat ; Sacks. Every steamer
that comes up from San, Francisco
brings a quantity of ; wheat sacks,
says the Telegram. The Columbia
came up on her. last trip with
600,000, and will bring up as many
more on her next trip. It i esti
mated that all of 12,000,000 sacks
will be required to handle this
year's crop. : The number of sacks
brought up last year was equal to
those required, and the prospects
are that this year's crop will turn
out better than last year's, and
besides there is a greater acreage
this year than then. The shipping
of wheat sacks bejjan unusualiv
early this ye"0, owing to the facf
that last season the interior people
got, something of a scare on the
trust question. '
Tombstones. Thyee small tomb
stones have arrived 1 in" Corvallis
from Washington City. They are
to be placed over the graves of the
G. A. R. dead who are interred in
Crystal Lake cemetery Stehpen
BeLknap, Joseph Blanchard, A.
Gragg, These. stones are jurnished
all deceased veterans by the govern
ment upon application being made
by the post !pf which . they were
members orany'relative or friend.
The expense of making the base
stones and work, of setting them
over the graves are not 'paid by
the government. Each one of
these tombstones - cost about $35
and bear the deceased's name and
the -xjompa-hy - to which he be
longed. ' v
Rev. A. Rogers and familygwent

will remain about a month.' He

Cut his Hand Off. John Cur
tis, a convict in the state peniten
tiary, chopped his left hand off
with a hatchet last Friday to avoid
work. He was sentenced to three
years imprisonment for larceny
from a warehouse and was sent
from Multnomah county. This is
the second case of this kind in the
pasE year, a man named- Howard
having done the same thing last
winter.

At the Front. The following
front the Statesman, of Salem ; .
shows the great interest taken iif
the work of the Oregon Pacifier ;
"A gentleman from the upper
country who was in the city
yesterday informed a Statesmaif
reporter that the whole force of
men on the extension of the O. P.
had bewi 'withdrawn from work;
with the exception of a few China
men. He also stated that the tun
nel which was planned to be cut)
through a portion of the Cascade
mountains, has bepn abandoned;
and that the engineers had figured
out a -way of getting around it by st
little circuitous work. The obstruc
tion to progress in building the'
road at the present time is caused1
by the attachments which are hang
ing over a large amount of property
and supplies belonging to Contrac
tors. There seems to be an un
fortunate fatality in the way of
that road being built with any de
gree of rapidity. Every year
something occurs whereby half
the best working season is wasted,
and then just about the time a good1
force of men is secured, the con
tractors fail, lawsuits are com
menced, the men thrown out of
employment and there is Jessie to
pay all around. Everybody in the'
valley has a warm side for the O.
P. railroad in a busines way, and it'
is really unfortunate that its com-'
pletion across the mountains should
be retarded by so many untowarof
circumstances."
