John Kiger is able to be out on the utreets again with the aid of crutches, fter being conGned to his bed for over a month with a broken leg. Sheriif Osborn returned Wednesday from Eugene where he has been at tending the state convention of the sheriffs held at that place Merrill Fish, brother of Geo. E. Fish, and an employe in the Oregonian office, passed through this city Satur day to spendlhis vacation at the bay. Profs. Slieak and Gilbert, of Philo math college, have joined a Portland imrty which has announced its de-i termination to ascend Mt. Hood as far as possible. Joe Hunter had the misfortune to reeeivejpainful injuries on his hand Tuesday, while working with machin ryon theKnotts farm, a few miles fcelow town. A young fawn, caught near Little Elk, was brought fto town Saturday, Tjd after being exhibited on the streets trI admired by every one for a couple of hours was raffled off. Many have taken the precaution to burn off the dead grass adjacent to their property, to prevent the spread ing of fire, should any occur. It is a wise move and should be followed by others. Fish & Murphy, the popular plumb er, are doing the tin work and plumb ing on R. E. Gibson's new residence, which is nearing completion, and is beyond a doubt the finest residence guilt in Corvallis this season. Samuel Selee, formerly an employe of the Northern Pacific, has charge of lh Southern Pacific depot in this city during the absence of Mr. Milner, who, with his family, except Misses Georgie and Mamie, is spending his vacation at Newport. The weather of the past few weeks lias been good for ripening grain and, while the yield will not he fully up to the average it will be good. Crops Ibst were thought to be feadly injured a month ago have revived beyond ex pectations and although the straw is short, the heads are found to be well filled and the grain plump. Oregon's grand lodge A. O. U. W., completed its work last Friday and ad journed. The session was an interest ing and profitable one. . The result was to show the prosperity of the order and it stimulated an interest in tii9 work that has never before been manifested. Each delegate returned to'hU home proud of the fact t ieing a Workman and some good -Auras are expected at the next sesaiu: : of the grand lodge, which will cori- enq in 1'ortianu on me tinra weanes- of next July. Charles Crew, of Port Otford, killed a fine sea otter last - week. He was oficred 160 for the skin, but refused to sell it. The Oregon jais will soon be empty. Wilson, the foul murderer of Mamie Walsh, has committed suicide and Governor Pennoyer 13 pardoning the jest of the criminals. Olympia Trihune. Representative Bailey, the young congressman from Texas, who is trying to reform the house in the mafter of the attcnaanctf of members upon their daties, is thoroughly' consistent. He was absent the other day on his own business, and now insists that a day's s ilary be deducted from fils'pay, On Mouday the president signed the act limiting the hours of laborers and mechanics employed ou public works. He also signed the joint resolution providing temporarily for the fexten- sion of appropriations coming under the sundry civil appropriation act. The resolution was received by the presi dent at 2 o'clock, and lie immediately affixed his signature to it C'has. Frantz, general manager of Frantz Bios', saw mill, and founder of Hoskins, was attending to business matters in Corvallis the first of the week. Besides other interests, Mr. Frantz has quite an extensive stock of merchandise at Hoskins, surpassed by no other ritore in Benton county outside of Corvallis. He also has a nicely furnished dance hall in connec tion with the store, to which he has just added a 125 organ. E. G. Biumhart, of this city, takes great interest in the matter of securing a reservation as a national park of the higher portions of the Cascades range of mountains. One of the'niosc forci ble reasons for doing this is that the forest would be preserved in this way. Should the forests upon these moun tains be destroyed the effect should he very severely felt in the future in the lack of water during the growing season for irrigation purposes on the slopes east of the Cascades. Excursion to the Sea. Another of those popular excursions will be run to the seaside tomorrow, Saturday, evening, on the Oregon Pacific. The affair originates at Eugene and the train will pass through this city about 6:30 in the evening. Round trip tickets can be pi oenred at the depot for $2.25, good for return Sunday evening or Monday on the regular train. Social Hop. There will be a social dance at the opera house this Friday evening, which should be attended by all who delight in tripping the light fantastic. About fifteen couple from Albany will be in attendance and a most enjoyable time is assured. The Marine orchestra of this city has been IPWTQrrpl fn ciirirtlu- mucin frr tin nn. . .... ' . casion wnicn is a sumcienc guaranty that the music will be of the best. Election of Officers. At their meeting last Monday evening, the members of the Young America En gine Co., elected the following officers: A. W. Rose, president; Nels Wheeler, vice president; Chas. Young, foreman; Frank Stensill, first assistant; Geo. E. Fish,, second assistant; Johnson Porter, recording secretary; A. Small, financial secretary; M. P. Bur nett, Robt. Johnson r.nd Taylor Porter, delegates to the board. Sale of Express Business. The transfer of an express business of con siderable magnitude from one company to another took place last Monday. Up to that time the express business on the lines of the St. Louis & San Francisco had been conducted by the Adams express company. On Mon day the whole business was transferred to Wells, Fargo & Co., the Adams company retiring. The lines of the St. Louis & San Francisco run west and south from St. Louis and are now part of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe system, the express business of which is operated by Wells, Fargo & Co. Something for Reflection. Here is a fact for the our humanely inclined people to ponder over. We hope however, it will not be suffered to stop merely with the pondering. Corvallis has no public watering trough or other contrivance for water ing domestic animals and there is no convenient place for driving a team to the river. Many other cities, not as large as Corvallis, have public water ing places on the principal thorough?" fares, and to secure the patronage of the farmers we must provide for their con venience. When a farmer drives into town he is obliged to let hi team stand in the hot sun all day; without water or procure a pail and carry water from a neighboring hydrant. We have nearly a dozen different places where liquid refreshment, of some kind is kept for man, but has not Corvallis forgotten to provide even one watering place for Least ? MUUMUKS FEOM THE PACIFIC. Big Crrek, Aug. 41892. Editor Gazette: As Nye creek has gained the name of New Albany, so the Big creek camp may not inap propriately be called New Corvallis, our population being composed large ly of Corvalhsites, For picturesque ness, beauty and natural advantages the two camping grounds are not to be compared. For society, we are a little vorld of our own. 'T'So well are we entertained and so throoughly do we enjoy ourselves that when the day is done we wonder where the time has gone. Truly our cares are not' unlike the sea's foam. We have banished them and are' living at the top of the. pot, with no desire to know how long before we reach the bottom. Big creek is a splendid trout stream and our tables are constantly supplied "wTth the speckled beauties; indeed, we have had so many that we now catch them for others less fortunate than ourselves. From the camp it is but a half a mile to "Jump off Joe" where the perch and kelp may be taken without limit. The rocks at Cape Foulweather supply an exellent substi tute for deep sea fishing. There we have just raked in the cod. Becoming tired offish we have fared sumptuously off of wild game. The hills two miles back of the camp are alive with quail and ruff-grouse. One of our party was out Wednesday and succeeded in bag ging a cub bear with his revolver. There is no end to the supply of ber ries. On account of thir abundance and extra large size, it is no difficulty to gather more than we know what to do with. Those so afflicted with inertia or the gout as to be unable to gather them may purchase all they wish at 25 cents a gallon. At the "house" we are supplied with excellent milk and butter at the lowest rates. What more can anyone wish than good thick cream and berries to top off his meal.'' It is true we have not killed as many deer as some otheis camping in more inaccessible places than this, but we have emplo3'ed a child of the forest to bring us an elk once each week. For a slight additional compensation he brings them alive, when we tie them to the fence and each takes his turn m killing one. This may not be quite sportsmanslike enough for those more fatidious than we are but is an abso lutely certain method of procuring meat. Last Sunday all those hailing from Corvallis took their dinner together, and a merrier, happier and more jolly company never assembled about a festal board. Some one in writing from a place nearer Newport, nearer the giddy whirl of giddy society has pleased to refer to our tables as being, rickety, our stoves as being rusty and to make other obser. vations tending to mislead the unso phisticated. . Such we would resent. It cannot be. The tables are necessarily substantial to bear up their loads of grub and with incessant action how could our stoves become rustyi Perhaps that correspon dent was thoughtless. For this, the first offence, we forgive him. Our tents are pitched in a sheltered nook not far from the shore and the clear sky has given us the beuefit of the beautiful sunset and sunrise. Noth ing is so majestic and awe inspiring as to watch the sun ashe sinks to Jrest in his liquid bed and rises again from his dewey couch in the grand old Pacific. The saddest duty we have yet had to perforin was helping two Corvallis families to pack up to leave. Now as gather round our camp fire in the evening, a silence reigns that is awful in its stillness. The pale mocn now sheds her beams on the glittering beach all in vain, since they have gone. The more to be regretted that there is no fog. Now there is ho one to walk those sands and cross the silvery threads rippling on the beach to thesea. A gentleman from Portland has been singularly successful in finding water-agates this jyear. He learns of their whereabouts by a magic wand he constantly carries with him. He also recommends searching for them with a lantern. Having no lantern we have not tried his scheme. Those who contemplate a visit to the seaside should come to Big creek We. will be glad to receive you and welcome you with ontstreched arms andfis full of doughnuts. E. N.

The people of Benton county have been waiting with wonderful patience for some definite action to be taken in Oregon Pacific matters and have been glad to note any indication of improv ment in the affairs, of the company. The following from the Salem States man of Monday last will make good reading for our people: . "The Oregon Pacific Railway Co., was incorporated in the office of the secretary of state yesterday by Wm. M. Hoag, Wallb Nash,-: B. W. Wil sou, Z. Job and Abiam Hackleman, with a capital stock of $18,000,000. The objects are: To build and main tain telegraph, telephone or phono phone and railroad lines from Yaquina bay o the eastern boundary of the state, with the right to extend them to Boise City, Idaho ; to build and oper ate all kinds of water craft. "The termini of the main line of said rail road, within the state of Oregon, shall be at tide water on Yaquina bay, in Benton county, and a point on the Eastern boundary line of said state. The termini of said navigation shall be Yaquina bay and San Francisco, the mouth of the Columbia river-and San Francisco, Portland, Or., and San Francisco, and ports on Puget sound and San Francisco, the headwaters of the Columbia and the mouth of the same, the headwaters of the Snake river and the mouth of the Columbia, the head of the Willamette and the Columbia, and Yaquina bay and such foreign 'and domestic ports as the cor poration may desire to reach. The principal office will be at Corvallis." The differences between the differ ent factions of bondholders have been settled and this reorganization, which is to go into effect at once, is on a basis which insures the extension of the road eastward to Boise City. We also have good reasons for our belief that considerable of the road will be built this year. NOTICE. All persons indebted to the estate of Philip Weber, deceased, ' are requested to settle at earliest opportunity. All bills must be receipted by W. E. Yates, attorney for estate, or by Mrs. Philip Weber. LONG TOM GLEANINGS. Dave Shipley started on another hunting excursion Wednesday.

THE FACT REMAINS No amount of misrepresentation of the facts by jealous competitors, or juggling: with fig ures, or pretended analyses and certificates, or distortion1 of any kind, can change the fact, that the Royal Baking Powder has been found by every off icial examination to be the high est of ALL in leavening power, and of absolute pur - am whblesomeness. RQYL is the best and most economical,' THE AGRICULTURAL. COLLEGI Prof. F. Berchtold, A. M., of the state agricultural college, is now visit ing in Astoria and in conversation the other day with a representative of the daily Astorian he was asked to give some general details of the instilutioi which we consider so good and of such general interest that we reproduce a portion of his remarks: "The agricultulturial college is located at Corvallis, in the Willamette valley. It is emiuently the people's college, meeting the wants, particularly of farmers' and mechanics' sons, and is the best' equipped institution for scientific instruction in the Northwest. "There are threefcourses of study, one ot which each student is supposed to select, viz: A course in agriculture, one in household economy for young laditts and a course m mechanical engi neering, including carpentering, joining, turning, forging, machine work, study of steam motors, etc., in fact anythiug pertaining to mechanics and mechanical engineering, the ma chine hall and laboratory building having been supplied with the latest improved apparatus found in America and in Europe. In the agricultural and horticultural course are offered unexcelled advantages to the study oi scientific farming, propagation and culture of grasses, plants, trees, decor- tion of ornamental grounds, planting, grafting, budding, layering, pruning, cultivationof vegetablesand the har vesting of fruits.'' "What are the elements of the household economy studies?" "Sewing, preserving and canning fruits, cooking and chemistry of cook ing, floriculture, dressmaking, special hygiene, botany, house furnishing and kitchen gardening, care of the sick, are the elements that go to make up the course in household economy where the young ladies gather a great amount of valuable practical experience in these lines." "Have you many students'!" "There were .two hnnJred and seven students attending the institu tion last saason; but the college in its present size can accommodate a great many more, and being a state school, the authorities are anxious to dis tribute the attendance all over the state, not confining it to Central, Southern anil Eastern Oregon. The board of regents, therefore, have sent out the members of the faculty to the different parts of the state to make known to the people the existence, ob jects and advantages of the college, and to encourage, if possible, young men and women to secure for them selves the benefits of a scientific and practical education, this being the di rection to which the wants of the present age point. The practice of selling California fruit at auction in the Eastern cities has prevailed for some time and has proved the most successful method of dispos ing of it there.. The auction method was not supposed, however, to be ap plicable to home conditions. The ex perience of fruit growers of that state in , disposincr of their fruit in San Fran J cisco has lg been unsatisfactory, the i . ' ' j methods in vogue being verv similiar I ... . . " J t0 thSe wh,cil CX1St 1,1 Portlsflid. There has been more or le.s discussion ! for somft tlme about adopting the auc tion system there but there has been a very strong opposition thereto, espec ially among the fruit handlers of the city. Finally a community of fruit growers at Walnut Creek, on the Sacra mento river, resolved to try the experi ment, and the auction sale method went into operation in San Francisco, Monday, J u!y 25. The reports indicate that the new method in a success.
