QORVALLIS, OR., AUG. 23, 1889. The O. P. A. The Oregon press association convenes in a two days' session at Newport to-day. The editors who are in. attendance are the "hungriest" looking crowd that the Newport hotels have had to feed this; year. It is said that Pentland, of the Independence "West Side, has a way of stowing roast chicken in his boot legs that cannot be infringed upon to any degree, and Davejr, of the Salem Statesman, in some manner (know only to himself) eats oysters and clams feet foremost and then shoves the shells into his back pocket, while Graham Glass, of the Yamhill Reporter, swallows plate and all. One sorrowful thing on this occasion is the lack of accommodations for the careful protection of the socks worn by the Albany Herald man very likely they will be caressed by the briny waters which would be something unusual. Then if Floed, of the Roseburg Review, should go, wonder if he will take along borrowed articles to wear in the procession. It may not be gener ally known that he is a borrower of everything excepting money, but he is. Once upon a time a few years ago a "swell" dance was to occur in the legislative hall of the capitol at Salem, and Floed being invited, of course, went The great question to him before the night of the affair arrived was how to attend in the heighth of style that was expected to be seen on the occasion. , Finally Floed got there just the same he ran across a friend who loaned him a clean The First Train. The first train on the Oregon & California road arrived in Albany at 12:30 o'clock, m., December 8th, 1870. Three hundred people from Port land, Salem and other points, in company with Ben Holladay, were aboard it. And the first passen ger train to arrive in -Corvallis from Portland over the O. &; C. was at 9:30 p. m., on Janf 28, 1880. On this train was Hon. J. N. Dolph, vice president of the western Oregon railroad company; Paul Schultz, land agent; T. De Clarke, superintendent of construction; Harry Habbersett, road-master; the train being in charge of Con ductor A. K. Colburn, with Jack Evans as engineer- from Indepen dence. A large crotfd, number ing about eight hundred, awaited the arrival at the depot. Loud cheers went up from the assem blage as the tiain pulled up. Messrs. Dolph .and Schultz were met by a committee and escorted to the city hall, where more than half the inhabitants of this city were assembled.

Jesse Clyde Wil- kins, son of Jasper N. and Amanda Wilkius of Corvallis, Oregon, died August 14, lbbU, aged two years, seven months and four days. The disease, some derangement of the blood, was of such a character, that after the symptoms became sufficiently serious to seem to de mand medical attention, it was too late to arrest the disease. Though everything was done that pair of cuffs, a collar, diamond ring, gold watch and chain, black ing for his shoes, and (the night being stormy) an umbrella and overcoat; and he with his best girl went and were given the leading position in the grand march. He may try to borrow some tide while over at Newport and as there is none to spare in that region the people are warned against him. It is hoped that the inhabitants of the bay region won't take Mitchell, ot the Gervais Gazette, to be Oregon's U. S. senator, for that would be a base slander on him. The editor of the "Economist, the new paper at The Dalles, is talk ing of joining the editors aud he will have a splendid chance to study economical principles while sojourning at Newport when you look at your purse on leaving that town you wonder what has become of your economy. A Curious Incident. A curious incident happened to John Kelley at the "Walla Walla hospital a few days since, says an exchange. A rubber tube had been placed in his side to remove the pus formed by pleurisy. The incision in heal ing had reached the itching 6tage, and, human like, he began to scratch the injured part. While doing this he loosened the pin that held the tube in place, and upon taking the next breath the tube was drawn inside the body. It happened to be in such a spot that it went clear around the spine. Drs. Shaw and: Blalock operated upon the man, having to make a long incision in the back to find the tube, which was finally removed. visiting with Mrs. W. A. Wells, at her residence.
