New Pumps. The big duplex
pumps ordered by the Corvallis Water
Company some two months ago from
Chicago arrived last Saturday and are
being placed in position and will be
raady for service by the first of next
week. The pumps were manufactur
ed by Henry R. Worthington of Chi
go, and weigh XlOO pounds, their
their pumping capacity is over 1,000,
000 per day, enough to supply the de
mand for water in this city for a good
many years to come; Tho new pumps
will not be used at present in the regu
lar service, but will' be placed in posi.
tion and will be used in case- of acci
dent to tfier old pumps which are of
ample capacity to supply the present
demand for water, about 130,000 gal
lons of water, per. day. They will be
thoroughly overhauled and repaired as
soon as the new pumps are ready to
start.
Bring in- Your- Samples. The at
tention of the farmers is called to a
card by Hartlessfe Davisson in another
column asking samples of your pro
ducts, to be placed on exhibit at the
Industrial Fair at Portland, Septem
ber 25th to October 2Sth. They are
taking anactive interest in this mat
ter and already have a fair collection
of grains, grasses and fruits for exhibt.
Benton county is one of the largest
counties in the state and should have
an exhibit of her products at the fair
that will be a credit to her; It will not
only show that this county can pro
duce as fine grain, and. fruits as can be
grown in the United States, it will be
an excellent-advertisement. Let every
farmer, when he comes to town, bring
in some sample of his produce.
The First of the Season. Last
Tuesday A. F. Hershner, the grocer,
was selling Oregon roasting ears and
peaches, the first that has been brought
to market this season. The corn was
raised on J. D. Barton's place just
across the river. It was fine flavored
and well matured.. The peaches were
brought in. by Mi. Bogue, who also!
lives on the other side of the river.
Picnic. A very enjoyable picnic
wa held in Jbb's Addition yesterday
aftemooni. Those- pi esent passed the
time pleasantly in- various ways, and
it seemed to be the general desire that
fche opportunity for- such enjoyment
will occur frequently. The Corvallis
brass band in new uniform provided
excellent music during the afternoon.
Ocean View Cottage, 1
Newport, July, 14, '90.
Editor Gazette: Once more we
looking out upon old ocean's restless
waves and drinking in the fresh salt air
from these Pacific waters. It seems
more stimulating than ever and I really
believe is more exhilerating than the
best of Corvallis beverages. The
weather is clear and during the day the
atmosphere is delicious, while at night
one can sleep soundly and dream
gloriously.
Newport has improved quite a good
deal during the past year. Several
new buildings have been erected and
others are in course of construction.
The new steam saw and planing mill
is quite an industry and is kept run
ning to its fullest capacity. Dr. Bay
lev is buildiiicr a fine residence, one of
the best in Benton county. From my
cottage window I can count a dozen
new cottages going up, to be owned
and occupied by Albany parties. The
roads and sidewalks have been greatly
improved, making it much easier and
pleasanter for visitors to get around.
The hotels are not crowded as yet,
although quite a number of tourists
have arrived. I have not noticed
many Corvallis people as yet. Our
rustling merchant, George Fish, was
swimming around these waters last
Saturday for some supposed valuable
bait which I hope he secured. There
are several camping parties on the
north beach who are enjoying them
selves eating rock oysters aud bathing
in the ''salty sea" Of course the fel
low and his girl are here "acting well
their part," which consists in seeing
nothing but one another. It is some
times strange how devoted people be
come when at the seaside; how they
anticipate each other's wants and
how exclusively they devote them
selves to one single object they ac
tually fall in love with that one object
and take it home with them.
We noticed our genial grocerman,
Thomas Bell, and his family pitching
their tent under the trees near by, the
other day.
The Bay View House and the Ocean
House are in good shape to welcome
and entertain their guests. They de
serve liberal patronage as they are mak
ing special effort to have visitors
feel comfortable and enjoy them
selves while with them.
This morning the steamer Willam
ette Valley was waiting outside for the
tide, about ten o'clock she passed in
and is now lying at her dock at Ya"
quina.
Though I have been here but three
days still I feel stronger and better, and
I believe after a few weeks rest I shall
be ready for another year of stirring
work.
I hope to write the Gazette more of
a letter next time. Till then good bye.
E. J. T.
Again in Jail. J. A McDonald, a
stone cutter, was arrested in Salem last
week, by Dave Osborn, on a charge of
larceny of some tools belonging to J.
R. Scraffbrd. A trial of the cr.se be
fore Justice Carlile, resulted in his ac
quittal. He had no sooner got out of
this scrape than he became gloriously
drunk and is now serving his sentence
in the city cooler. McDonald is be
coming mute notorious havinsr figured
in a number of scrapes lately in Cor
vallis, Salem and Albany, we are in
formed that an Albany party would
like to see him after settling up bis
business in Corvallis.
Will Move to Corvallis. Ben
ton county's newly elected judge, W.
S. Hufl'ord, purchased a house and lot
on sixth street last Friday, of R. L.
Lawrence, for $ 800 and will move his
family and household effects over from
Newport sometime next week and will
make Corvallis. his future home. He
is also having room five in the court
house fitted up in a neat style for an
office.
Ho for Newport. An excursion
train will" leave Albany on- Saturday,
July, 19, 4:35 p. m., Corvallis 5 p. m.
for Newport. Keturning leave Ya-
quina 6 p. m.,. Sunday, 20th. Tickets
gocd. to- return on regular train Mon
day the 21st. Fair lor round-trip in-
eluding steamer fare from Yaquina to
Newport, Two ($2) Dollars.
A. Good Growth. The limb of an
elder tree, found growing on the river
bank near this city, is exhibited at the
office of the- Corvallis State Land and
Loan Co. There is nothing curious
about the- limb of an ordinary elder
tree, but tHis particular limb is four
teen feet Iorg and is f 11 of this year's
growth. "Beat it if you can.
The State Horticultural Society
came and has gone and those visitors
who expected to see and hear Benton
County pomologists were sadly disap
pointed. Our people no doubt are in
terested in horticulture but their inter
est is of the silent absent kind.
When the society comes again there
will undoubtedly be a little more en
thusiasm manifested! Perhaps our
friends who are just setting out these
large (r") orchards of prunes, peaches,
etc., could learn nothing at such a
meeting. Such being the case they are
indeed fortunate. Yet, even then it is
their duty to lend a helping hand to
those poor ignorant and deluded mor
tals not so fortunate, but, who, despite
their ignorance awl uncouthness are
intensely interested in our horticul
tural prospects both state and national.
The best part of all such meetings
lies in the discussions. The papers
are mere outlines. As such the ones
offered at the late meeting certainly
furnished material enough for profit
able discussion as was evidenced by
the afternoon and morning sessions.
The hue and cry against this organ
ization h-s been that it was purely
local. This can no longer be said to
be the case. The society held a meet
ing in this city for the purpose of en
listing our people in its work to the
end that it might become state in fact i
as well as in name. How many did Press of Col VanCleve and will change the
they enlist? Six. A marvelous good ; name of the paper to the Santiam Weekly
