Uiabetea, Blight's disease, gravel and other complaints of the urinary organs are not or diuarily cured ill severe cases, but they may be averted by timely medication. A useful stimulant of the urinary glands has ever been fodnd in Hostetter's StouYach Bitters', a medicine which not only affords the requi site stimulus When- they became inactive, but increases" their vigor and secretive power. By increasing the activity of the kidneys ami bladder, this medicine has' the additional effect of expelliifg front ttie blood impurities which it is the peculiar office of those organs to eliminate and pass off. The Bitters is also a purifier au'd streugtheuer of the bowels, an invigorant of the stomach, and a matchless remedy for biliousness and fever and ague. It counteracts a tendency to prematnre decay, and sustains and com forts the aged and infirm. , . Cetpt. Lutjens came up on the tVillam ette Valley.

Immigration to Oregdn from the eastern stateb is starting earlier this year than usual. Already a number of families have arrived in Corvallis from Kansas, Nebraska, New York and tllindis. . Some" have purchased farms and located here permanently, while others rented or are stopping with friends for the time being, and are look ing around for comfortable homes. Al most every train, of late, brings some one here who is looking for a home in the favored garden spot of the west, and every ruaii brings numerous en quiries from all parts of the east ask ing about the Willamette valley and its resources, advantages, etc.- Last week the Gazfti'e mentioned that A. E. Brookwalter with his family had arri ved in Corvallis aud intended to locate. Last Saturday his father arrived here and if the climate is congenial to his health he intends to remain. He is a practical farmer and is manager of his brother's estate consisting of about 58,000 acres of land in Kansas and Nebraska; Last Monday N. F. Ham lin and family, cdnsistltlg of five per sons, arrived from New York and will make Corvallis their future home. They are friends of Mr. Beach, of this place." Oh Wednesday, three families, friends of Mr. Berman, fourteen per sons in all,: arrived here direct from Maroi, Illinois. They express them selves well pleased with what they have seen of the fcbiintry, and say that Others will follow if they firtd it as they expected here. Their names are Mr. Thrift and four children, Harry, Wicks and wife,- Mrs, Wicks and family. Missing H unter FotTNi. From A. T. Zumwalt; tfho'is in the city attend ing fireuii-. court, it is learned that the lost hunter, a young man nmed Tucker, ha fjeealnie separated from his companions op in the mountains above Gatesville, has been found by the searching party. It is now about two weeks since he was lost, since which time the motintains have been scoured fof htm in every direction, but without success until Monday, when Tucker was found. He was alive, but reason had left him and his mind is a blafnfe. At times he is said to be vio lent and has not the least recollection o"f the past, nor can he comp'fe'hend the present. After several days of un successful searching one of the relief parlies found traces of the missing hunter up on Thomas- creek, nd fol Jowing these for a short distance they came upon the long-sought friend, whom they were aggrieved to find de mented. The First of the SEsso'N.--The foot hills near Corvallis- were covered with snow for the first time this winter, and in the valley we have had almost a continuous fain for the p'aSf three days. It would seem that the controller of the weather po vers are making up for lost time and endeavoring to redeem our naine as a "vfebfoot state' as far as this section rs concerned. When we read the accounts of suffering ot the peopfe in the blfcsfaTCr ridden states of of the north we have every reason to be thankful that the weather is as it is here. - Articles of incorporation have been filed witlt the secretary of state incbr poralrngf fhe Rogue River Valley Com pany, with principal office aft Portland. Its capital stock is $f Otf.CfOO divided into 1000 shares. The object is to construct and equip a railroad from Medford, in Jackson county, to Jack sonville, and two miles beyond. . Wm. Hottejinarn, f . Dellart, W. C. Crawford, J. tf. Howell, are the. incor porators. Chicken thieves still contintfe flieif nightly raids on the chicken f bosts. Last Wednesday evening Prof. Ar nold's hen lrottse Was ; raided and a number of fine fowls were taken. The Chinamen- furnish a good market for these stolsn fowls and the theives are, no doubt, carrying on quite a profitable business at present. Perhaps when the new city charter goes into effect this evil will be remedied. Legislative Nbrfis. The Iegisrature has one more week before it in which to wind up the work on hand. " Tuesday there were 43 bills before the senate on third reading, 18 of which passed. The friends of the Portland consoli dation bill have hopes that it will pass. Last Monday a delegation of 150 rep resentative citizens went to Salem in the interest 6f the bill. A bill appropriating $400,000 for a portage railway at The Dalles and Celilo passed the senate List Monday, yeas 18, nayes 8, absent 3. The bill to abolish the state board of horticulture, as introduced by Senator Cross, failed to pass the senate by a vote of 11 to 16. The world's fair bill, introduced in the house by C. E. Moor of this coun ty, passed the house Tuesday as amended. It appropriates $50,000 in a lump sum; $10,000 for 1891, and $20,000 each year following. Moor's bill extending. Newport city limits, has passed the house. Crosno's wagon road bill appropri ating $3000 for road on Alsea river from Tidewater' fo its mouth has been referred for correction. The bill for a bridge at Certains" has passed the senate. The memorial introduced by Sena tor Hirscli asking congress to appro priate $100,000 to improve the upper Willamette, Is stiff sleepiiig. Crosno's bill for- the relief of Mr. Hurd, of this countyr. $200,- failecf to pass. - The bill for Santiam county, with Scio 3s the county seat, passed the house ytsterday, but it was short lived. So soon as it reached the senate it was completely Knocked out by an indef inite postponement. ,. ; - - " The big appropriation bills . got through at Wednesday's night session. The !otaI appropriated was $189,500. Of this $80,000 is for the completion of the capitol building; $60,000 for the Cascades portage railrbad,- and $49, 500 for wagon roVds,' house bills that went throiiiilftlie senate. The Monroe Mail Again the Gazette calls attention to tfie route the mail between Corvallis and Monroe is carried. It is an imposition on the people of fhese two places, only eight een miles apart, to have to wait as long, if not longer, to receive an answer to a letter sent to eithef place as it takes to receive a letter from San Francisco, a distnnce of about 700 miles; but such isfl?c case.- A letter put iu the pest- office lice " Friday - at noon, reaches Monroe, after several transfers and a circuitous route of sixty or 70 miles, on the following Tuesday ami sometimes not until Wednesday. The country along She foothills between Corvallis and Monroe is quite thickly settled and it would be a great accommoda tion to these people and those living on &ea-ver creek, back in the foothills, who have to go a long distance for thir mail to have a regular route established. The Snag Boat The government snagboat Corvallis started yesterday afternoon for the Up.er Willamette, undercommand of Captain Miles Efell. Major Handbury has instructed Cap tain Bell to go as far up as Harrisburg, removing all the worst snags and clear ing a passage for boats, arid then return, more thoroughly cleauing the channel on his way dovYf.

Remarkable FoR-ritUDlfe.-Au umbrella stood a long time yesterday, in the post office, unclaimed by anyone. At mail time the county officers went in. Sheriff Mac Kay cast wistful eyes toward itf Judge Huf ford looked" longingly upon it, . but neither of them took it away. Even Superintend ent Yates resisted the temptation to claim' it as his own. It was a castaway and woTtblesSv -, . - THE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. It will be seen by referring td the report of the committee ap- pointed by the legislature f o inves tigate the affairs of the State Ag ricultural College which is pub lished irt another column, that the committee heartily endorses the course pursued by the Board of Regents in the management of the College and Experiment Station, snd that in their opinion the Bdar'd is exerting every effort within their power for the advancement and wellfare of the institution, not withstanding the efforts of the few" who, through personal malice or prejudice, have used every means to retard its growth and work as an agricultural college. The sen ate still furthe'r indorsed the man agement by passing an appropria tion, bill for new buildings by a unanimous vote; The Salem Journal commenting on the bill says: The appropriation bill for the Agricultural college at Corvallis, passed the senate by unanimous vote, even Veatch, the venerable' agricultural objector, assenting. The senate invited Hon. Thos. Cauthorn, one of the board of re gents to address that body in the" interest of the school and he did so with good effect as the above result shows. This gentleman is an ex perienced legislator arid we'll knew' just What points would best im press his hearers. In the house it is not known what will be the fate of the bill. The governor and granger members are opposed tof any appropriation, but it is believ ed that there is a handsome major ity for it there, too. The Benton delegation, headed by J udge Moor, a veteran educatof and incorrupt ible legislator, have been very careful in working' for his institu tion and will probably succeed in carrying it in the house. There is a demand that the agricultural college be more of a farmers' institution. But it rriust be a good College before farmers will send their sons and daughters to it to" learn even practical agriculture and horticulture. The farmer seeks' to make his home something besides a mere place for labor a'rd crop experiments, and a certain degree of culture in the liberal arts is indispensable even to an agri cultural college. But it is certain that the experimental department must not be left behind the colle giate at the Corvallis school. The Agricultural college should be well sustained by the state. Oregon Pacifc News. A promin ent business man jn town informs us that he has received a personal com munication from Col. Hogg, receiver of the Oregon Pacific railroad, in which he states that there are now 26,000 tons of rails oh tre way fo Yaquinrf; that preparations are being made to let the contracts" for sawing and cutting 50,000' ties, and that actiye operations will commence on the eastern exten sion of the road as soon as snow flies. Prineville I7ew'S. We hope the' suorce of the News information is re liable, but as yet no such ncs has been given out here. To Wed. A' license granting the' privilege to wed was issued by the county clerk ' of Vf a ion county last Tuesday, in favof of Jesse T. Wilkins and Jennie Ei Hny. JeSsie Wilkins is well known in Corva-llte, is a grad uate of tlite State Agricultural College and was recently proprietor of the Occidental hotel but is ncAv , running" the - McCialie' House at ' Roseburg.
