The fog is so dense in Portland
that people are walking into the river.
Life preservers are, therefore, likely to
become a part of fashionable attire in
the dear inland sea port Persons not
already in the swim that is to say, in
the Willamette will adopt the new

Now that the holidays are over and
matters are settling1 into their accustom
ed channels, it will be well to remember
that when you want anything in the
line of watches, jewelry, silverware and
plated ware, the best place to look for it
is at Ed. GrefToz's store where there is
a fine and complete assortment of
everything of that kind at prices that
defy competition.
A local farmers' institute will be
held at the court house hi , Corvallis,
February 18th and 19th. This insti
tute should be made an object of
much interest to farmers and friends
of agriculture, and is expected to be
well attended. It promises to le an
interesting occasion.
A Gazette representative had the
misfortune to run afoul of the smiling
phiz of Captain James Robertson, for
merly an old time "skipper," but now
a prominent real estate speculator of
Yaquina, who is again on onr streets.
The captain has been laboring under the
usual attack of la grippe, which, he
says, the people of the bay in general
have become to look upon as an every
day occurrence, but with no serious
results.
A company has been formed at
Springfield, Lane county, with a capi
tal stock of $10,000 for the purpose of
establishing an electiic light system at
that place, and to convey the power
to Glenwood and Fairmount for the
same purise. The two dynamos of
the Eugene eltctric light . works were
completely destroyed by fire one night
fast week, but will be replaced by
similar ones and will be in running
order in about thirty days.
Carl King's entertainment was a
success in every particular. It was
everything that it was represented to
be. Indeed, the feats performed in
mind reading were simply marvels,
and seemed to be almost beyond the
range of a possibility. His perform
ance is certainly the most remarkable
of its kind ever witnessed by an
audience n this city, and we doubt not
that he outranks all others in this
field of strange phenomena. Carl
King will get a big house if he ever
finds it convenient to return to this
city. ....
REMINISCENCES OF A PIONEER.
PAPER NUMBER SIX.
On the coast proper the bay wideus
out, there being anchorage for a large
fleet of vessels of. any description, a
land locked harbor in which any ves-
! sel can lie in the heaviest storms as
steady as a church. At the terminus
of the railroad there is quite a village,
known as Yaquina City, at which
place there is no speculation, for the
reason that there is no property in Hie
immediate vicinity for sale. Four
miles further down the bay, imme
diately on the coast, and a half mile
from the bar of the Yaquina bay,
wher0 it empties into the Pacific ocean,
is the town of Newport. Properties
in this town, which could have been
bought twenty years since for $25 per
lot are now worth and are selling for
$100 per foot front. This being a sea
side resort, of course it is quite popu
lar in the summer months, as the ma
jority of the people coming into this
section of the country congregate at
this particular place, where they can
get the most satisfaction and enjoy
ment for the least amount of money
My experience of over twenty years
has been, that no matter in what
locality a man may place himself, he
may err in judgment as IO prospective
values. For instance, in 1875, 1 had
offered to me, acreage property within
a radius of three miles of this place
the purchase price was to be about
$25, and a land right for one hundred
and sixty acres of land. The same land
within . the thirty days last past, has
been held against a bona fide offer of
$150 cash, per acre. Two men in
particular have realized comfortable
fortunes off of a very small investment
For instance, one party bought 2OO
acres of land or thereabouts, ten years
since, of improved land, good title,
etc., for which he paid the the sum of
$1600. Nine years later he sold the
same for spot cash for the considera
tion of $20,000. His neighbor ad
joining, had a body of land comprising
about 400 acres with but little frontage
on anything! beach hills, etc., for
which he realized $20,000. The last
named party was not out on said pro
perty in actual money to exceed, the
sum of $500. The present valuations
of property are not as high compara
tively shaking, as they were two years
since.
In olden times when a man went to
the coast with his entire family, in two
wagons, with a few head of stock, they
would pitch their tent wherever night
overtook them, lie around in thu sand,
bathe in the surf, go fishing every day,
get sunburned, well tired out, etc., and
return well regulated for another sea
son's hard work on their,, ranches. I
have seen at one tiniethliJOOO- wagons
camped in this viduitywiayhfefcwith an
average of five 1 people -to 'the'-' wgon',
making a population of over Sfit)0,
Of course, this state of things is done
away with now, as a person can get on
the train any place in the Willamette
valley any morning, arrive at the coast
at night, and return the next day, if
they wish to, for less ontlay of actual
cash than was necessary in thorfe days.
At that time, say ten years since, had
a person suggested that within a decade
there would be no lot ir. the town of
Newport purchasable for less than
$100, he would have been laughed at
and apostrophized as visionary or in
same. That state of affairs exists to
day.
The extreme northwest corner of
Benton county is occupied by an In
dian reservation, which is being opened
for public settlement. While it is
largely a mountainous region, there
arc many good homes in this section,
there is also some money to be made
in placer mining along the ocean beach
at the small streams which put into
the ocean in this vicinity. The forest
fires which destroyed the timber,
spoken of heretofore, did not prevail
so extensively in this section, and there
still remains large quantities of good
saw timber, old growth of spruce, fir,
hemlock and cedar, which, while it is
practically inaccessible at present, can
not fail in a very short time to come to
market, the only alternative being to
ship the same material there 1 00 miles
by rail or 300 by water. This north
west corner of the county, although it
is practically unexplored, is a favorite
resort for tourists, pleasure seekers,
etc., on account of the natural curios
ities such as shell beachs, mineral
deposits, etc., all of which are to be
found by a pleasant drive over the
solid ocean beach. A person can
leave Newport in the morning, drive
through a country well settled in parts,
and totally wild in other parts. The
scenery consists of the Pacific ocean
on the one hand and the Coast range
of mountains on the other, traveling
the distance of twenty miles or farther,
and return the same day.
: Traveling south from Yaquina the
country consists of low table land"
well settled and tolerably well.improved'
for the distance , of seventeen miles
when we come to the Alsea bay, which
is about one-half the size of Yaquina,
with a fair settlement, two towns, a
cannery, saw mills, etc. Continuing
still further south a distance of nine
miles we come to the Yachutz river.
The country between Alsea and
Yachutz is very sparcely settled. For
a sportsman, no better opportunity
affords, as this is the home of the deer,
the elk, trout, etc, and along the coast
from Yachutz to Cape Perpetna deep
sea fishing is superb without being off
of the land to enjoy it. This brings
us to the extreme southern line of
Benton county. The Yachutz valley
is especially a frontier country, where
the principal thing is hunting, with
some improving. - Several years since,"
beach mining was carried on quite ex
tensively in this vicinity, but the action
of the elements, that is, high tides,
causing shifting sands, etc., has caused
a complete cessation of this industry,
as it costs more money to strip one of
these bfcach mines, than can be ob
tained from them after being worked.
At the Alsea, there have been several
vessels built for the coasting trade.
The lumbering and finning industries
of this.bay are superior to most places
on the coast, on account of the size
and formation of the bay and sur
rounding country.
(To be continued.)
Several of our more enthusiastic
citizens were considerably aroused by
the raelo-dramatic display of celestial
fire crackers, supposing it to be an ini
tial Chilean bombardment to this city.
Upon repairing to the scene of con
fusion, however, it was discovered that
the Chinese were indulging in their
annual New Years' festivities. It was
formerly their custom to set out the
best brands of palatable beverages to
the numerous frequenters of their
habitations during their holidays. But
of late years they have taken a tumble
to the "bums," and now retain the
genuine article for their own exclusive
use. -
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever,"
might be remarked about the shade
trees of Corvallis in the early summer,
but unless this thing of cutting them
for wood is stopped, our city's appear
nnce will be greatly spoiled before
spring. Just why this is done, when
wood is so plentiful in the Willamette
valley, is hard to say. It would be a
great thing for our city if our citizens
took the pride in them that Mr. Max
Friendly does, who is having the trees
in front of his residence properly
trimmed.
YAQUINA ITEMS.
The Geo. M. Chance came in last Satur
day on a smooth bar ami twenty feet of
water, but the big steamer for San Fran
cisco did not go. This pleases the oyster
men very much, as after the oysters have
lain on the steamer three or four days they
have to take them . np to their floats and
put them back into the oyster beds. In
a day or two they are sacked agaiu and
placed on the steamer, and if she does not
sail soon they will have to be put through
the same process again. Some people think
oysters are high priced, but they would, not
think so if they had to dig for them in
twenty-eight feet of water, and handle
those long tongs against a strong' tide, the
wind blowing and rain pouring down upon
them; after catching a bushel, give a
Klatchman two bits to culi them. Oh,
yes, it is very amusing and yet it pays
as every other honest labor does.
The sea crabs are now coming in. They
mate a tasty change in our diet. We are
also looking for the run cf herring soon,
The flounders are as fat they ever get.
Some of onr boys are taking time by the
forelock and taking their preventive of the
grippe by the gallon, and when they are so
full they can touch it with ' their finger in
their month, it leaves no show for the
grippe to get a grip,, thus proving a gallon
of preventive is worth more than a quart of
cure. Obediah.
Hon. Jacob Voorhees, of Marion county,
was in the eity on Wednesday and Thurs
day visiting the agricultural college, and
the "youngsters" of his, as he calls them,
who are attending the institution. Mr.
Voorhees was also a guest of Dr. Thompson
while in the city.
Hot Griddle Cakes.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder possesses a peculiar
merit not' approached by that of any other baking powder.
It produces the hot buckwheat, Indian or wheat cakes, hot
biscuit, doughnuts, waffles or muffins. Any of these tasteful
. things may be eaten when hot with impunity by persons of
the most delicate digestive organs. Dr. Price's Cream Bak
ing Powder leavens without firmentation or decomposition.
In its preparation none but the purest of cream of tartar, so
da, etc. is used, and in such exact equivalents as to always
guarantee a perfectly neutral result, thereby giving the natu
ral and sweet flavor peculiar to buckwheat and other flour
that may be used, the natural flavor so much desired and ap
preciated by all. The oldest patrons of Dr. Prices powder tell
the story, that they can neverjget the same results from any
other leavening agent, that tlir griddle cakes, biscuits, etc
are never so light and ner aste so sweet or so good as
when raised with Dr. Pric

A Bold Tramp. Philomath has had a
sensatiou. A tramp entered the Chinese
section-house out there the othei day, and
in the presence of the entire Celestial house
hold, demanded all the loose change on the
premises. Frightened at the verbal au
dacity of the bold and brazen highwayman,
the liewildered Chinamen bowed in obedi
ance to the request and handed over the
bard-earned sum of tweuty-five dollars,
without offering the least resistance. The
tramp then hastened westward, going as far
as Chitwood, where he held up another
Chinaman, from whom he obtained $100, a
sum, in the mind's eye of the maddened
Mongolian, not to be picked up in the road
every day. The traoap, following Horace
Greeley's advtce, continued to "go west,"
but was overtaken at Toledo Wednesday,
and taken back to Philomath, where he is
today undergoing the severe sufferance of
the punishment of law. He is a bold tramp,
but the penitentiary will put a check on
his plundering of pockets.

Oysters and Seeds Are valuable for
what's in 'em. Good and bad oysters look
alixe in the shell. Good and bad seeds often
have the same appearance. Any one can tell
a worthless oyster on opening it. ' The value
of a seed must be' determined by its growth.
This makes its Quality worth considering.
Yon want seeds that will grow, and you
want the product to be of value. You can
not insure either of these things by mere in
spection. There is but one guarantee, the
reliability of the firm from whieh you buy.
That our advertisers, Messrs. D. M. Ferry
& Co., of Detroit, Mich., are most reliable,
is attested by the fact that millions buy
seeds from them year after year. Their CHor
mous business famishes the highest proof
of their reliability. Their Seed Annual for

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh.. Hall's Ca
tarrh cure is the only positive enre known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con
stitutional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood and
mnouons surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. - The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that they
offer one hundred dollars for any case that
it fails to cure. Send for testimonials.
