P;. section hands were passing Emmet Taylor's residence, the boys pushed one of the Chinamen off the sidewalk and the gentleman from the celestial kingdom resented the insult, when the boys jumped upon him and knocked him down. COL. T. EGENTON HOGG KECE1VER. Our citizens will learn without much surprise that the period of delay and uncertainty in the affairs of the Ore gon Pacifie Railroad Company has come to an end. The Oregon Pacific Railroad and the Willamette Valley and Coast Rail road Company were, on the 28th in stant, placed in the hands of a re ceiver, on the petition of the Farmer', Loan & Trust Company, of New York, who represent the bondholders. Their counsel, Mr. D. W. McClure, of the firm of Turner, McClure & Rolston, of New York, applied to Judge Pipes, at Eugene, for the order, and for the appointment of Col. T. E. Hogg as such receiver. The receiver gave the required bonds and completed with all formalities, and yesterday en tered into full possession of the prop erty. All employees of the railroad were immediately discharged from the ser vice of the company, and then at once engaged till further orders by the re ceiver. It is understood that these steps are preliminary to a reorganization of the company, and that meanwhile the traffic of the road will be developed and cared for by the receiver to its fullest practicable extent. Choice Bargains. Parties wishing to buy choice lots in Corvallis, at a bargain, for the next thirty days call on J. H. Nicholas.. Annotncement. On account of the seats for the new hall not being ready, J. IL. Hughes will preach next Sunday morning and evening in Job's Theater. Morning subject. "Our Peculiar Mis sion. jveninc. "Diversity and Harmony of th Bible." All are most cordially invited. Two Interesting Services. On last Sunday morning and evening, large and thoughtful audiences gather ed at the Congregational church to listen to J. H. Hughes, the new min ister of the Christian church. All were greatly pleased with, both sermons as well as the service of song. "Two ex cellent sermons," "Cannot be beaten," "The best T ever heard," are common expressions from our most intelligent and thoughtful citizensi Better Mail Service. At the last meeting of the board of trade the matter of securing better mail service in this county and the Willamette val ley was discussed. This is an impor tant matter to the people of this county especially, and immediate steps should be taken to urge upon the prop er authorities the necessity of a better service. An illustration of one in stance would show the condition of affairs. Monroe is only 18 miles south of Corvallis, the mail for that place to reach its destination goes a distance of over 50 miles, is transferred twice, and is then carried about 10 miles by stage. A letter deposited in the Corvallis postoffice on Friday at noon will not rach Mpnroe before Monday or Tuesday of the following week, A man could go-on foot, and carry the mail on his back and give a more satisfaotory mail service than this, and this is not the only case in this countv. Board or Trade The Corvallis Board of Trade met at the parlors of Hamilton, Job& Cos bank last Thurs day evening and transacted the follow ing business. J. II. Nicholas and S. N. Wilkins were appointed delegates to the State Chamber of Commerce for the present year.. The following per sons were elected to serve on the re spective committees of the State Chamber of Commerce: River and harbor, Wallis Nash; railroad transpor tation, J. H. Nicholasthe World'Col umbian Exposition, F. M.' Johnson. Communications from the Columbia and Water Way Association and Ta coraa Chamber of Commerce read and secretary ordered to make proper re plies. Tlw subject of securing better mail facilities was bvougbt up and dis cussed, $100 was ordered to be paid on .the bill of Lewis & Dryden for printing pamphlets. Communications front Ya quina board of trade objecting to pay ing for pamphlets as agreed read. The secretary was instructed to inform said board that this board holds them to fheir agreement and demand payment. A vote of thanks was tendered Hart less & D&visson for the excellent dis play of products of Benton county made by them at the Portland exposi tion. On motion Wra. Hartless and Ralston Cox were allowed $5 each for expenses of telegrams, etc., on business of the board. There being no further business the board then adjourned. AN OPEN RIVER. The most experienced pilots and en gineers on the Willamette river, are emphatic in their statements that well directed work at the right points will keep the navigation on the Willamette, from Portland to Harrisbuvg, free and unobstructed throughout the year. Just such a condition of affairs is what is to be most earnestly desired in every part of the valley, and especially the cities along the banks of our noble river. I Every place is equally interested in securing this end. ' There has been ap propriations made for the purpose, and probably after the fall rains have swol len the waters so that there is a fair boating stage a snag puller will be sent up, and the appropriation duly expend ed in laying around in genuine junket ing trips, and not one particle of last ing good accomplished. Some means should be adopted to secure actual and needed work with the appropriation so that it be not frittered away. The most sure means to accomplish this desired cud would be for the business men, through the boards of trade in the cities on the banks of the Willamette, to appoint committees to look after the matter; or better let the representative business men of Salem, Independence, Albany, Corvallis and llairisbiug, through their boards of trade, send delegates to some one of the places designated, to form a river improvement board, to hunt up, watch and solicit the faithful expenditure of the appropriations for the same purpose and to give no rest until the object is accomplished. This committee could accomplish for the Willamette what the water way committee is accomplishing for the Columbia. Let our Albany board of trade take initiative" steps in the mat ter and work it up. It means prosper ity for us and all the others. Albany Herald. Looks Like Business. Articles of incorporation have been filed witu the 'Secretary of State by the Corvallis and Benton County Prune Company. The incorporators are E. R. Lake, Robert Johnson, J. R. Markle, S. M. Stock, M. S. Neugass. Capital stock, $18,000. The purpose of the com is to purchase land, plant prune trees and dry and ship the product. The company have already purchased 155 acres of one of the Thayer places situa ted on the O. P. railroad five miles north of this city, and are arranging to at. once plant the entire tract to Italian prune trees. This is. an enterprise which the citizens of Benton county will be glad to see inaugurated. The adaptability of this state ior the pro duction ol prunes, the extent of the market and certainty of good prices are well known, but the farmers have not entered into the business as rapid ly as the conditions would seem to justify, for reasons probably best known to themselves. In this vicinity the prune orchards are small, limited in number and have not begun to bear, but in two or three years will make an excellent showing. The most profit able orchards, however, and those which will mostly affect the value of land in the community will be the larger ones such as that to be set out by the newly formed company. Ore gon's possibilities in fruit production can not be overestimated, and while her people, generally speaking, are un accountably slow in availing themselves of the advantages spread out before them, it is certain that they are now be ginning to come into the correct move ment. A Fine Entertanment. They are here, we have seen them, and we take pleasure in pronouncing the Merrill- Abt-Abbott Modern Miracle Compaq7, 'the finest novelty organization ever visiting Corvallis, and different from all other shows ever seen here, being moral, refined, instructive and amus ing, as well as beautiful. Ink and type cannot exprsss the cleverness of that youthful phenomenon little seven-year-old Eddie Ablwtt, and his colored servant, "Jumbo," is an amusing back ground to his marvelous performance. Professor Abt's beautiful and wonder ful "Grecian Mystery" is a show in it selfj well worth the price of admission, and is the finest our eyes have ever feasted upon, while Merrill's cleverness on the "big wheel" is too well known to be mentioned by us. Those who did not see them last night, should at tend to-night, or they will miss a treat long to be regretted. Admission only 50 cents with children 25 cents. Seats on sale at Roberts' store.. WALDPORT ITEMS. Editor Gazette: Thi3 is a "red letter day" for Alsea bay. The W. B. Harrison tailed to-day for Portland, with her first eargo of lumber. She rode with majestic pride across the bar, spread her white wings, and with steam and sails took her course for the metropolis of the northwest. May Neptune speed her on hsr way. Mr. David Ruble is erecting a new residence on Broadway. Mr. James Harrison is also building on his lots. This savors strongly of a matrimonial venture. Considerable work has been done on the Waldport and Tidewater road. The amount of travel over the new Alsea rivet road is gratifying in the ex treme, to the denizens of the bay. The steamer Mischief has been ex pected here at any time, for some days, with a cargo of merchandise. In the meantime there is almost a fam'ne in our town. We trust that the W. II. Harrison will remedy this evil in the future. Jack Shaw. Waldport, Oct. 23, 1890. A Botch From the Beginning. About the worst botch in the way of public enterprises in Oregon to-day is the Salem bridge, the people of Marion and Polk counties really deserve sym pathy. The contract was let several months ago to a San Francisco com pany to build a bridge across the Wil lamette at Salem. The contract price was about $G5,000. Tvo piers were con structed which were condemed by the county courts, and a solid pier of con crete was built around the old ones, at an extra cost of $10,000. Now the whole pier is about to tumble into the river, and the courts are in a quandary how to proceed. Upon the recom mendation of one engineer the pier was ordered to be blasted off to high water mark with the intention of build ing two cylinder piers upon this foun dation. Now comes another engineer who says the whole pier should be blasted out and new ones constructed, which, judging from reports, is about the only thing that can be done to make the bridge a substantial structure. If the last engineer's plans are adopted, it will add an extra cost of nearly $20, 000. This with the $10,000 already ex-, pended, will make about $30,000 that the tax payers of those counties will have to pay in addition to the contract price and the bridge will hardly be started either. A substantial suspen sion bridge could have been built for less money. Public School Notes. The enroll ment is now 357 The new seats have come and are being placed in one of the vacant room Miss Newton was absent on Monday to attend the funeral of her grandmother.
