CORVALL1S, OR., SKPT. 6, 1889.
An ALl-Oveh Fall. Prof. W.
2f. Hull has been calculating on
having a good hunt before the agri
cultural college opens, and on
Wednesday afternoon arrange
ments were completed, and to
gether with a friend, a start was
to be made. After he had hitch
ed his horse to his buggy he no
ticed that something about one of
the wheels needed fixing and
started to look: after it. While
there at work his horse became
scared at something and began to
meander around the block. The
professor made a lunge for the lines
and in so doing completely fell
all over himself. The radius of the
right arm was broken and also a
bone of the little finger of the
tight hand, the elbow was skinned
and a portion of his forehead. Dr.
G. R. Farra was called and set the
broken member, dressed up the
bruises, and at this writing Prof.
Hull is getting along very well.
The horse was caught before it
had gone far. .
Blaze at Yaquina. About 9:30
o'clock on Wednesday night, the
old foundry building, belonging to
the Oregon Pacific railroad com
pany, and located at Yaquina City,
northeast of the depot, caught lire
in the roof and burned to the
ground in spite of all efforts to
save it. As soon as the flames
werediscovered, the citizens of the
town formed themselves into a
bucket, brigade" and carried
water with which to use on the
surrounding buildings and thus
saved the machine shop. This
foundry was a detached building
and had already proved too small
1or the work, and the management
at this time had begun prepara
tions for a new and enlarged one.
Tlie clearing of the foundation for
the new building has already been
started. The cupola, coke oven,
etc., received no damage, There
was no insurance on the building;
and the fire evidently started from
a spark from an engine.
AllIIeue. Margaret Snail, of
California, the professor of house
hold economy and hygiene, E. L.
Bigelow, assistant professor of
chemistry, G. A. Covell,ot Minne
apolis, professor of mechanics and
mechanical engineering, F. L.
Washburn, professor of zoology,
and entomology, the additional
new members of the faculty of the
agricultural college, are now in
OorvaUis, ready to enter upon the
duties set before them during the
next school year which begins
next Thursday. The last named
professor is accompanied by- his
wife and child. Rufus Anderson
was elected to the chair of me
chanics and mechanical engineer
ing, but on account of receiving a
position in an eastern college
which had a higher salary attached
to it, he declined, and Mr. Covell
was chosen to fill the vacancy.
Across the Santiam. A new
bridge is being built across the
Santiam river at Stayton, to join
Marion ana iinn counties, it is
to be a Combination Pratt Truss
bridge, and be of wood and iron
Will have three spans the middle
one being 301 feet long and the
two outside ones 152 feet each
Huffman & Bates, of Portland,
have the contract for $18,250. A
portion of the irons for this struc
ture passed through Corvallis on
Sunday by an extra' Oregon Pa
cific freight train. The O. P
track passes Stayton on the south
by about one and a half miles.
Come Off Yesterday two Cor
vallis men were in the city pretty
well loaded with tarantula essence.
Forgetting themselves and becom
ing a little hilarious one of them
braced up and in a loud whisper
said to his companion: "This is
not Corvallis; let's go." And they
went.-Albany Democrat, Sept 2,

The O. P. Tbacklaying. Deputy
Sheriff Frank Wrightman returned
yesterday from his trip to the
mountains up the North Santiam,
and reports that die work of lay
inz track on the extension of the
O. P. railroad is to be commenced
early next week, says the Salem
Statesmen of Aug. 5 30th. : Should
there be sufficient iron and other
track material on hand, and a
reasonable force of 'men kept to
work steadily, the road can be
placed in good running order clear
to the summit before the season
compels a cessation bf labor. An
ordinary track laying gang will put
down a mile to a mile and a quar
ter a day, and two years ago this
kind of work was done until the
middle of November. It' takes
eighty-eight tons of steel, or six
carloads, to the mile, so the reader
can see it is no small matter to are supported. McMinnville Tele
have on hand and get to the front J phone-Register, Aug. 30. Inrefer
the material for an extension of jence to the above it might be
thirty-five or forty miles. Mr added that if the afore-mentioned
Wrightman had not heard, nor has real estate agents are live men
this writer seen stated, how much j then there are lots of others right
steel the company has on hands,
so the amount of work to be done
this year is uncertain.
Ohegox (Benton Co.) Corn.
uAdam Ohmart came home yes
terday froni a trip through the
coast section of Benton county,
and brought with him, among
other trophies of his tour, a stalk
of corn of the mammoth variety,
which measures 12 feet 6 inches
high and carries two finely devel
oped ears, it being six feet to the
first ear and seven feet to the
second. It was raised off the larm
of J. M. Sharp, in the Alsea val
ley, and can be seen at the office
of the Oregon Land company."
Salem Statesman. Sept. 5. Sev
eral stalks have been, brought to
Corvallis which have measured
over thirteen feet. And, .right
here, it may be said that this
county produces just as fine grain,
vegetables, fruit, etc., as any other
section, and yet, when it comes to
getting up an exhibit' of such to
send east, somehow , or other no
body has any life in them to col
lect a few samples.
The North Jetty:. In regard to
the recent decision of U.' S. J udge
Deady in the case of Samuel Case
vs. the U. - S.'; government to re
strain the erection of .'the govern
ment tramway on the north beach
at Yaquina, a portion of which
was given in last week's Gazette,
it is but justice to Mr. Case to state
that the case was simply brought
to determine whether he or. the
city of Newport owns certain rights
to the water front. ..The decision
being in his favor will not interfere
with the government work, as he
is as deeply interested in, the im
provement of Yaquina harbor as
any one. The government will go
on with the work iust as it has
before. .."

, Ciiaff. McMinn ville" is situated
in the best county in the statS but
is seldom heard of outside ttf the
county. During the past week
we have visited Corvallis and can
see a marked . difference in the
two towns: McMinville has better
streets,-better buildings, will have
a better electrical plant, a better
water plant and ftdw shows more
enterprise. Corvallis is dead com
pared with McMinnville. The
business men of Corvallis will not
support their papers, hardly any
one advertises. The only live
men we noticed hi the town were
Messrs; Hartless & Davisson, real
estate agents. We want Corvallis
to stop blowing through the West
Shore and kindred publications,
for we will not believe what is
said. She shows her lack of enter
prise in the way the local papers
here in Corvallis who are
ways from being dead.

To Meet. On Wednesday, Sep
tember 11th, the convention of the
missionary jurisdiction of the
Episcopal denomination in Oregon
will meet in Portland to form it
self into a diocese, and elect dele
gates to the convention of this
church in the United States, which
will occur in New York during
t he month of October. The dele
gates from here to Portland are

and Wallis Nash.
Coming. On Sept. 12, 13, and
14th, Etta Whiteaker, the oil
crayon artist, will be in Corvallis.
Miss Whiteaker recently gradu
ated under the careful and thor
ough instructions of the late Prof.
C. Krumbein, of London. There
being but one other oil ciayon
artist on the coast, all persons de
siring such work should examine
Miss Whiteaker's system, for it is
all free-hand: drawing.
About October 1st. The dor
mitory building at the agricultural
liege will not be ready for use
until about the first of October,
and it has been arranged to use
the rooms oyer the reading room
for the scholars from abroad, and
if these are not sufficient others
will be secured. The masons are
getting along very well with the
brick work on the second story of
the mechanical hall.
Collapsed. The - barn, spoken
of last week as being moved to
Judge Burnett's property from the
rear of the Congregational church,
failed to reach its destination. It
collapsed. The movers thought
wagon and thereby get over the
ground quicker. But, somehow
or other, the building concluded
to fall and over it went ending
in a total wreck.
More Ground. Philip Phile has
purchased the corner lot adjoining
his residence property on Water
street r.nd is preparing to have it
enclosed with a nice picket fence.
The barn which stood on the lot
was given to Norman Lilly and
he has torn it down and moved
the material away. This will
make a splendid addition to Mr.
Phile's already beautiful home.
A Bad Sign. Corvallis papers
are so poorly patronized by the
sleepy home merchants that one
of them has to run a two column
ad. of its own both inside and out
side. The papers there are all
well edited, and in fact are several
miles ahead of the unenterprising
merchants, who need prodding
with a pitchfork. Albany Demo

Turned Loose. Hon. S. T. Jef
freys, "Dr. Green1' Sampson Leon
alus Henderson, Baby Henry
Wortham, Dr. H. Pernot, and
Richard Castile, all ""binds" of
Corvallis, start to-day with the
necessary i camping out-fit, blank
cartridges, toy guns, etc., towards
the Upper Soda country, on the
j Santiam river, about sixty miles
from here, on a general raid on
anything that may come in their
way. Dr. G. S. L. H. says they
will kill anything that runs wild,
no matter whether it is an emmet
or a California grizzly. They
have blood in their eyes.
A Year of Fires. The present year
will lnnir be remembered as one in which
the lurid flame of the destroying element
has enveloped whole cities entailing heavy
loss of property to many, especially those
who thought they could afford to "take
ch nc s" and neglected to provide against
loss by tire by insurance with a responsible
company. You cannot afford to ''take
chances." If your house, barn, store, or
goods are not insured, or your grain i. the
warehouse, lose no time' in taking out a
policy in the old reliable New Zealand
insurance company, which met every loss
at Seattle, Ellensburg, and Spokane,
promptly. Its record of the past 30 years
of satisfactory settlements, and cash pay
ments places it on the first rank among the
companies doini business in Oregon.

Whijie Asleep. "The Tuscarora
(Nevada) Index makes mention of
a somnambulistic miner in the
Homer district, who nightly at
midnight leaves his cabin and re
turns in a few hours with a sack of
ore worth $10 per pound. The
somnambulist has been watched,
but he is so agile in climbing steep
mountain sides, that no one has,
so far. been able to track him to
the spot where he gets the rich ore.
He has accumulated above $4000
in gold mortared out of ore secur
ed in his somnambulistic rambles,"
says an exchange. Don't all turn
somnambulists.
