THE PROGRAM. The anniversary of the birth of our nation is rapidly drawing near and ere the Gazette again appears it will have' -become a tiling of the past. This day for which juvenile America has been saving his pennies with persistence and self denial which a worthy of success that he may inves them in explosive enthusiasm and pa triotism will soon be a matter of his tory. Oa next Monday we will cele brate the HGch anniversary of th signing of that immortal document, the declaration of independence. 41 which gave to the world a new nation Inch, although dubbed at its nrst rotation "The Great Experiment, lias far surpassed the wildest dreams of its most sanguine founders, and denVwstrated that although an exper imentfc-&tands to dav as the strongest and most stable government in exis tence and the model for all the rest of the world to use a; a pattern In the midst of all these festivities do not let the mind become so morbid as to lose sight of the re d objects of ths celebratiou. Let a thought be to the manner in which this glorious country was secured to u.s by our he roic ancestors, the sufferings which they undeiwent through eight Ion; terrible vears of warfare, and let on thoughts be chastened by such reflec Hons, when nothing remains ot the heroes of Valley Forge except the re membrance of their bravery and forti tude in suffering.

T'tnlralei ffi I gentlemen spectators 50 cents. mg We Grow. and hammer The music of the saw is heard ou every side and we feel safe in asserting that there are more new buildings iu contem plation and in course of construction in Corvallis than in any other town in the valley. In whatever direction one may look he will see new buildings iD different 'Stage's of construction and, although there is no boom, our gtowth and improvements are so rapid as to almost merit the title of phenomenal. Tnere are at least twenty residences now in course of erection and as many more are being contemplated, all of them being of a kind aud style which will make a creditable showing for our city. Bsides these, the business pur tion of the city is undergoing a re novation and remodeling which wiii make a surprising improvement in the: appearance of the city. The work on the new city hall is being pushed as rapidly as is possible; it will cost a large sum to complete aud will be the best in the valley outside of Portland. The new hotel is now progressing nicely, the stone foundation is com pleted aud the building is beginning to assume a definite form ; its cost will amount to between $15,000 and $20, 000. Fish & Murphy have fixed up and renovated the Beason building and moved their stock of stoves and tiuware into it, while the room vacated by them will be immediately occupied by Peter Zeirolf, who will begin iear ing down his present quarters next week to make room for a fine two story brick. This building will have a frontage of 37 feet and a depth of 80 feet. The upper floor will be di vided up for offices, and the lower floor will contain two store rooms, 20 and 14 feet front, respectively, and a hall; cost about $3,000. Jas. Haves' new residence is now almost completed; M. V. Avery s house is well along, the contract for painting having been iet to W. E. Paul ; R. E. Gibson is having put up what will be one of the handsomest residences in the city when it is completed, and new resi dences are springing up in all parts of the city. Yes, if anybody asks you about it, you can truthfully say that Corvallis is improving, and that at no slow rate. And this is not all. Con siderable attention is being given to our streets, and the prospects are good for some of them being graded and otherwise fixed up to correspond with our position as a city. We grow. Injured by Explosion. Judge D. Carlile, while at work on his place near the Odd Fellows cemetery yester day, met with an accident which nar rowly missed being fatal. He was en gaged, in blasting stumps with giant powder and had placed a charge in an old log which for some reason failed to explode at the proper time. He ap proached the log for the purpose of making an examination and had placed his left baud over the charge, which ex ploded just at that instant, tearing the flesh from the hand in a frightful man tier and also cutting his lip and burn ing his face severely. No bones were broken in the hand and, although the injuries are quite severe and painful, we think it is a matter for congratula tion that they are not worse. Fine Fruit. Wm. Hull, of Beaver creek, brought into R. Graut's grocery one day this week some specimens in the way of small fruits which surpass anything of the kind ever exhibited here before. I hose he brought were tli9 Champion gooseberry, Fay's Prolific currant and White Grape cur rant, lhe bunches were each afcout two feet long and the fruit was clustered so thickly as to almost entirely con ceal the foliage, it showing in only a few places. Mr. Hull said that from one busn nve year3 old ne gathered seven gallons of berries. Mr. Hull's place is about 10 miles southwest of this city. Can anybody beat this rec ord? We dou't believe they can. CITY COUNCIL. The city council held its regular meeting last Monday evening, the mayor and six councilmen being pres ent. The street committee, which was to report on the petition for graded streets, asked for further time to prepare their report ; request granted. On motion, it was decided to de signate I'glin s barnyard as the city pound, the former site of that institu tion being now occupied by the new city hall.

In our last weeks' issue we mentioned the fact that an eastern party would locate a woolen mill in this city provided a subsidy of 5,500 could be raised by our citizens. During this week Mr. Wm. 15. Humbert, the party in question, was in the city inte: viewing some of our business men concerning the project. He is now in Tacoma. hnving gone there to see his family, It is to be hoped that the plan will mot t with the proper encouragenent, as it is not at all likely that a more liberal proposition will ever bo made, and the advantages of having the mnl are apparent to all.

In this city, June 25th, 1892, Mrs. J. D. Johnson, aged 42 years, 10 months and 28 days. She had been in failing health for some months, and had tried change of climate, as well as all the remedies known to our physicians. She grew gradually worse, and last Saturday, at 12:30, passed quietly away in th arms of her faithful husband, Mrs Johnson was one of our most loved, and best known citizens. She was born in Ohio, Jul 27, 1849. She crossed the plains, in 1861, with her parents, and set tled in Corvallis in 1865. She was a devout and consistent member of the Episcopal church, having been confirmed by Bishop Lee, of Iowa. In the year 1871 she was married, and has lived in Corvallis during her whole married life. Her three sons, as well as her husbaud, are left to mourn their loss. Tho beautiful service of the Episcopal church was used at her funeral which was held in church nf the Good Sa maritan, by Itev. George F. Plummer, tha rector. The interement was at Crystal Lake cemetery. A large number of sorrow ing friends followed her to the grave, and stood in mournful silence around her last resting place while the service was read and the casket covered with earth and flowers. A loving, pure spirit has gone to her hea venly reward. Kone knew her but to love her; none named her but to praise.
