THE STREET CARS ROLL
THE CORVALLIS STREET RAILWAY COMPLETED
AXD IN OPERATION.
"All aboard for Job's Addition!" Cor
vallis now has a full fledged street railway
in operation. The road is a mile lotig and
runs from the postoffice along Main street
to Monroe, thence west to the public
schools and to Job's Addition. J. E.
McCoy, the contractor, commenced the
work of laying the track about live weeks
ago and on Wednesday of this week had it
completed to the addition. On Thursday
morning at 7 o'clock this car was run over
the track for the first time in order to Eee
that everything worked right and allow the
horse to become familiar with its new
work. At 1 1 o'clock all was in readiness
for the trial trip, and the directors, mem
bers of ,the press and several others who
held special invitations boarded the car at
the p03tofIioe and were wheeled along at
the rate of six miles an hour to Job's
Addition. Here Manager Ralston Cox
took the party through Central Park, and
showed them over Job's Addition and ex
plained to them its advantages, and the
great opportunities afforded for investment,
after which the party returned to the city.
In the afternoon the car made regular trips
for the benefit of the public and will con
fcinue to run regularly hereafter. Mr. McCoy
will be ready to turn the road over to the
company Saturday and as it seems to be in
good condition it will no doubt be accepted.
The promoters of this enterprise are de
serving of much credit, a. thay have
worked under many difficulties from the
start and were even laughed at for under
taking such an enterprise, but they put up
the money w ithout asking favors and built
the road and it will in time be a great
benefit to Corvallis, a3 well as a paying in
vestment to its owners..'
Death of a Japanese. One day last

malady could not be learned, where he was
from nor whither he was bound. It is pre
sumed, however, that he (tame to Corvallis
for his health. .Anyway, he died on last

people attended the burial.

EXCURSION SATURDAY.
pleasure seekers enjoy a pleasant
"1ay at the frost:
On Saturday morning at seven
o'clock an excursion train, consisting of
five ears, and a baggage car, under the
supervision of the Congregational
church left the city depot for the front
on the Oregon Pacific railroad. There
was a jolly crowd of about 250 of our
citizens on board including the mem
bers of the Congregational Sunday
school and the Corvallis brass band.
From the number of lunch baskets, fish
ing rods, etc., taken everybody had evi
dently prepared themselves to have a
good time, and in this they were not
disappointed, except perhaps as to the
fishing part. We did hear that one
man, after casting the fly for several
hours in the numerous ripples of the
stream where speckled beauties abound
so plentifully, (?) succeeded in allur
ing just one into his basket thereby
saving tho reputation of the entire
party.
The train, after making short stops
at Albany, Gates, Mills City, and
Brown's Mills, arrived ac Bridenbush,
about 8 miles from the end of the track,
at 11 o'clock, where the lunch baskets
and bagfface were taken off. Most of
the party got off here, some remained
on the train and went about three
miles further up the road to Coe's, the
last station on the line, returning to
the picnic grounds 'at one o'clock.
Bridenbush station is situated at the
junction of a beautiful mountain stream
by that name and the Santiam river and
is a fine place for a picnic. After par
taking of lunch of which most of the
excursionists were abundantly supplied
the party scattered out for various
amusements of the day, some with
their fishing outfits, some strolling
through the woods after wild flowers,
of which there were many varieties,
while ethers with their best girl found
a shady seat on the bank of the river
to watch the clear sparkling water as ii
dashed over the rocks at their feet.
Music was furnished at intervals dur
ing the day by the band, and Cameron
& Co. supplied the thirsty with lemon
ade, soda water, and ice cream. At 4
o'clock the train started for home, arriv
ing in Corvallis about 7:30 o'clock.
The scenery along the road for
grandeur and beauty cannot be excell
ed any where in Oregon. The San
tiamriver along which the route follow
ed for the entire distance is a continua
tion of cascades and deep and narrow
channels cut through the rocks by the
continual wear of ages. The water is
as clear as crystal. The banks are
covered with a fine growth of timber
and before many years this will be a
great lumbering section.
Altogether the excursion was a grand
success and those who went only re
gret that the day was not several
hours longer. .
Natural. Gas. It would seem that
the little town of Drain, in Douglas
county, is in a fair way to become very
prosperous. A vein has been dis
covered near that place which promises
to supply the natural gas to inflate a
real boom. In this respect it has de-
cidely the advantage of other Oregon
towns which necessarily resort to the
artificial article, which is an excellent
substitute but which comes high
when the Oregonian and West Shore
are drawn upon for a supply. It is to
be regretted, on this account, that the
efforts of the Northwestern Mining
Co., which organized to develop a gas
well near Corvallis, have not been more
successful. It is questionable, how
ever, if the bowels of the Pacific coast
contain sufficient gas to supply the
present demand if it were all avail
able. Moving Right Along. The As
toria fc South Coast railroad is being
graded to Hillsboro by a force of over
800 men. There has been no let up
on this undertaking, and it is kept
moving right along. Last week the
rails were delivered in that city for the
street car track, and men were at once
put to work laying them down. As
toria is moving right along, and those
desirable lots in North Pacific Addi
tion are selling quite readily by The
Oregon Land Co., and property is
steadily improving.
A New City. A plat of the city
of Shelburn has just been filed with
the county recorder. Shelburn is lo
cated at the junction of the Oregon
Pacifieand the Oregonian railroads.
It is well located and promises to be
come a thriving country village.

THE NEW MILLS.
The new steam roller flouring mills
of this city, which have been in coarse
of construction- since the fourteenth of
last April, are completed and the ma
chinery was put in operation for the
first time last Tuesday, and ob Wed
nesday the builders commenced grind
ing wheat for the purpose of testing
the machinery and ascertaining Ine
quality of fiouur that could be turned:
out. When a thorough test is made
and the mill is in good running order,
which will probably be in a few days,,
it will be turned over to the Benton
County Milling Company, the com
pany for which it was built. The mill,
including the elevator, or warehouse,
which is not yet completed, but will
be in time to- receive the first of th9
wheat crop, and the ground upon,
which they stand will cost, complete-,
about $40,000 and will be an impor
tant addition to the industries of this
city. The money for the enterprise
was furnished by home capitalists, the
'company being composed of citizens
who reside here in Corvallis.
The mill is a neat and substantial
three-story building with a basement.
It is. situated on Water street where
every advantage can be, had for ship
ing, both by water or by raiL Flour
and grain can be loaded direct from
the mill, either in the car ob on board
the boat, thus saving quite an item of
expense in handling..
Through the courtesy of Mr. Wilson,
the manager, and Mr. H. R. Spauld
ing, who has superintended the build
ing and placing of machinery fr the
contractors, Joseph Wagner & Co. of
San Francisco, a Gazette reporter was
taken through the buildings. Situated
on the basement floor are the main
driving shaft, the elevator boots, and
the rough shaker, on the first, or roller
floor, are four double sets of Wagner
roller mills and one single set, also a
bran and flour packer. On the second
or purifier floor are one wheat smut
tec, two aspirators, three scalping reels
two purifiers, two centrifugal reels, one
Wagner round reel, also flour and
wheat bins. On the- third floor are
three centrifugal reels, three Wagner
round reels, one scalping reel, one
Wagner wheat scourer,, a cockle ma
chine, one Barnard k Leas separator
and all the elevator top. The power
is furnished with a sixty-horse power
Russel automatic engine and boiler, in
charge
of engineer John Spangle
Corvallis can now boast of one of
the best mills in Oregon. Its machin
ery is of the most modern and improv
ed patterns and was nearly all manu
factured on this coast. The capacity
is guaranteed by the coniiaetet-a to be
100 barrels of flour every twenty-four
hours. By crowding its capacity it
can be raised to izv Darrels. J.ne
Beall corregation as used in this pro
cess is said to be superior to that of
any mill in Oregon, and in a short time
we shall sell the brand "Benton County
Mil's Superior Flour" in all the mar
kets. Mr. Spaulding has- had ten
years experience in building mills on
this coast for the well known firm of
Joseph Wagner & Co., and he certainly
understands his business. He inform
ed the Gazette man that he had en
deavored to make these the model
mills of Western Oregon.
Ten Acre Fruit Farms. The
Sunnyside tract of farm lands, four
miles south of Salem, is growing in
public favor, because of its eligible
location, and the choice quality of the
land. Those settlers who have gone
on to this tract to make themselves
homes, have shown diligence in im
proving their farms, and it wants but
a few years to make this one of the
most attractive spots in the whole
Willamette Valley. The Oregon Land
Co., of Salem and Portland, still has a
few of these choice ten acre farms for
sale-
