.River. and Boats. When the
steamer N. S. Bently left her dock
on Wednesday morning she did so
- with the intention of the captain
to go clear to Portland before
returning. Since the thiid day ot
February the U. P. locks at Oregon
City have not been in shape to per
mit of the passage of steamers
below the talis. A large portion
of the freight taken on board this
steamer here was for the metropo
lis consisting of hardware, wind
mills, furniture, and groceries. The
Hoag was at Oolie's landing yester
day where she took on wheat and
brought it to this city. This morn
ing she will start on her regular
schedule time, for Portland and
way points, with a carg of general
merchandise and sixty caskets for
an undertaker in the city, which
came up from 'Frisco via. Yaquina.
The Bently ; will be at Corvallis
again to:morrow. Duringall this
Union Pacific's have been plying
on the river above the locks the
Orient, Champion, and the Modoc.
There is a large amount of freight
to move. One great detriment -to
moving some of it is the Jack of
wharf facilities at some of the
points below." Both the O. P. and
U. P. docks at Salem wero carried
away by the high water of .last
winter and it is difficult for boats
to land there even with no load.
In due time new buildings will be
erected and everything will, move
all right again. The river here is
-about eight leet above low water
mark and witlrthe snow in the
mountains will permit of the boats
running well along into the coming
summer.
To Move to "Wash." J. W.
Hanson and Jacob Weber who,
a few days ago, went over to look
at the Puget sound country, re
turned on Wednesday. The result
of their trip is that Corvallis will
in a 6hort time lose both these gen
tlemen. Mr. Weber has purchased
a lot in Fairhaven, Wash., ( 25x
100) paying $4,500, and Mr. Han
. son has leased it of hint for five
years for $50 per month. Upon
this ground he will have a" build
ing erected to occupy as a store
room, the contract already being
let,, and he will move his stock of
general clothing. there immediate
lyhis desire being to open up by
April 15th Mr. Weber will also
move there in a few weeks. They
report everything booming on the
sound. . -
A Successful Architect. D.
D. Neer, the gentleman who was
the architect of the court house in
4lt?i rtlftr Itoo CAinro fViA nAntronr
for a $30,000 building designed for
the same purpose to be erected at
Snohomish in the state of Wash
ington. He had litteen other arch
itects to compete against. If he
gets up a '-palace" like Benton's
for the Snohomish people, it 'will
be a fine piece of architecture.
- "Ywn TT n. TTwrirmrCT Snrn W
C. Crawford interest in the brick
building on corner of Adams and
Second streets has beep sold by
Lim to E. . AllenV . of the firm of
. Allen & Woodward, druggists. The
price paid was $5,500. -It will
hereafter be known as ; the Farra
lAlieh brick.
Too, To. There is a young lady
in Corallis who is. so modest.that
ebe calls it tel imb raphy" when
speaking of-working m the W. U,
telegraph offices, etc, ' .'.
New Supreme Court Clerk. E.
B. Skipworth was, on Tuesday at
, Salem, appointed clerk of the su
preme court, vice W. H. Holmes,
resigned. Mr. Skipworth is a well
known attorney of the Oregon bar.
He came across the pla'ns with his
father's family in 1874 and settled
near Independence, Polk county.
He afterwards studied law with
Judge li, S. Strahan at Albany and
was admitted to " practice at the
March term 1881.- He practiced
three and one-half years at Alba
ny, three years in Corvallis, two
years at Pendleton, and" over one
year at Eugene. He was a presi
dential elector on the democratic
ticket in 1888, at which time - he
canvassed the state." He entered
upon the discharge of the duties of
his office immediately after being
sworn in.
A New Grubber. Geo. Strope,
of near Philomath, has invented a
new grubbing machine .which is
destined to revolutionize the work
of '; clearing land of grubbs and
small-sized timber. The manner
of its working is bya series of puL.
leys eight" in number, which,
with ropes, are so arranged that
one horse does most of the work.
It is said that by its use, two men
(with the horse) can do the work
of four in the same amount of time.
The leverage power ot the machine
is about sixteen feet. ; One thing
especially claimed for . it in the
clearing of oak-grub land is that
the larger the tree the easier will
the machine work. r G. G: Newton
has had one in" operation on his
place during- the past week 'and
praises its workings very highly.
The Temple of Justice Lights.
That beautiful chandelier, which
has been hanging in Rose's cigar
store for the past week., is the one
which' will be suspended from the
center of the ceiling in the circuit
court room of the court house. It
will have six incandescent lamps of
30-candle power attached to it
with porcelain shades of exquisite
designs above them. Mr. Fryer
has. finished the. wiring pf the build
ing and is now engaged in attach
ing the lamps to the wires in the
different rooms. It would be a
capital idea to place a light in front
of each dial of JLhe large clock - in
the tower it could be done very
easily. The expense would be but
a small item. What, think you,
Judge?
'New Officers. W. H. Pettibone
and wife arrived in Corvallis on
Tuesday last from Chicago, also E
W. Hadley, wile and four children,
from the same city. The former
gentleman will assume the" duties
of superintendent of the Oregon
Pacific railroad viceF. W. Bowen,
resigned. Mr. Hadley will take
the position of assistant to the gen
eral manager, Wm. M. Hoag. Both
are fine-lookinggentlemen and will
be valuable additions to Corvallis'
social circle. Mr. H. has secured a
residence' and will begin house
keeping at once, ii? . ; "'-
His First R. R. Ride. R. Grier,
of Alsea, came to, Corvallis on
Tuesday last to' see the sights. V He
is a man whose age has reached the
seventieth notch, and the ride he
had on the Oregon Pacific train on
the above day was the first one he
ever took. on a railroad. He has
lived in Oregon twenty-five years.
In politics he is a democrat this
accounts for his going so.long with
out journeying on the cars.
A Slight Fall. -On Tuesday,
"Josh" Mason, while 5 skipping
around in his- Tiack yard after a'
chicken, ; it is supposed stepped
upon a board which gave hi in a
tumble to the ground, striking on
the right side of his head and doing
him up for a few minutes. Restora
tives were applied and he was soon
brought1 to consciousness. Don't
get too frisky, Josh.. , " ;

of the new flouring mill is being

their inimitable concerts at . .the
Presbyterian church on Friday
evening, April 4th. This ; is the
original company and' they have
sung in all the 'principal cities of
this country and , Europe. - They

Should Hold Conventions. It
is getting along toward city eleo
tion time, and some steps . towards
both parties holding conventions to
nominate ' candidates for their
respective tickets should -be acted
upon. Heretofore these candidates
have never been brought before
the people prior to the election,
which is a decided mistake. Let
the needs of the city be . party
issues and then if they are not car
ried out properly the party in pow
er will be responsible. M

The contract.
What coutractt . -
The contract for the construction of the
first mile of the street railway in Cor
vallis. , . " ;
The board of directors of the Corvallis
Street Railway compauy held a meeting last
evening, in the office of the secretary, for
tbe purpose of opening the .bids for con
struction of the first mile of their street rait-
way. Afyer all were opened it was appar
ent that J. E. McCoy, of Salem, was the
lowest biddor, and to him was the contract
awarded.
Mr. McCoy is the gentleman who has
superintended the building ot nearly all of
the lines in Salem, and, taking them as
specimens of-his work, it is conclusive that
Corvallis street railway will be built right
"korrectly." The rails, which were ordered
last week', have been loaded onto cars and
started toward the'heart of the yalley,"
and are wanted here by the 15th of next
month. - v-
The cars will be ordered in a few days
also. '"" " ' r
The directors also elected the ' Rt. Hen.
Ralston Coz as superintendent of the line,
and the selection is A 1. He will keep his
eaiile eye on the Condition of things of this
company's venture and see that everything
moves without a hitch barring the, horsef.
" The route, of the first mile to be construc
ted, is: Beginning at the cross-walk on Sec
ond street, nearly in front of the posfoffice,
theuce north to the intersection of Monroe
and Second streets, west along Monroe to
Seventh, north on seventh to Harrison, west,
on Harrison to Ninth, thence north along .
county road and into Job's Addition. 'After
this is completed and cars begin, ruuning,
the road will probably be extendSti south I
from the postotfice along Second street and
out to the" depots by a circuitous route.'
April showers bring May "flowers and
with "the latter you can efijoy a streetcar
ride here in Corvallis without going to Sa
lem or Portland.
