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

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. The band dis

Obituary. 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,

Oregon's U. S. senator, for that
would be a base slander on him.

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.
