Something unique even in these days of
mammotn prom mm oners, it is the latest
effort of Stafford's Magazine, a New York
monthly of home and general reading.
The proposition is to send the magazine
one year for one dollar, the regular subscrip
tion price; and in addition to send each
subscrber fifty-two complete novels during
the twelve months: one each week.
Think of it.- You recive a new complete
novel by mail, post paid every week for fifty
two weeks, and in addition you get the mag
azine once a month for twelve months, all
for one dollar. It is an offer which the pub
lishers can only afford to make in the confi
dent expectation of getting a hundred thou
sand new subscribers. Among the authors
in the coming series are, Wilkf.y Collins,
Waltnr Besant, Mrs Oiiphant, Alary Cecil
Hay, Florence Marrynt,- Anthony Trollope,
A. Colon Doyl, Miss Braddon, Captain

LOCAL ANCIENT HISTORY.
At times a bit of ancient local history is
interesting both to old residents and to those
who come among us more recently. With
a view of ptesenting something of this na
ture a Gazette reporter dove into some of
the age-stained records of the county clerk.
About the first discovery made was the fact
that in 1860 the officials of the county in
dulged in what is politely termed a " neck
tie party," in which Philip George was
proinmei.t character and S. B. Fargo was
the master of ceremonies. This social
gathering was brought almut by the killing
of George Clark on the 10th day of March,
1860, by the said Philip George, a German,
who left no relatives in this country to
"uionrn his loss," ncr to deride the Gazette
lor disinterring the dead past. Philip was
indicted for the crime on the following 10th
day of April; Lemuel A. Clark, foreman of
the grtnd jury and L N. Smith, prosecuting
attorney. He was tried, convicted and sen
tenced to be hanged, all on the 14th day of
April. They seemed to have an expeditious
way of despatching justice in those days.
f R. E. Stratton was the judge and T. B.
Odeneal, clerk; attorneys for the state, J .
Quinu Thornton, J. D. Fay; for defense,
John Kelsay, A. J. Thnyar; the jurors were
A. R. McConnell, John Harris, Jos. C. Al.
exander, Chas. Gaylord, D. W. Nicholson,
Geo. P. Wren, Franklin Kinder, Levi Ru
pell, John Foster, Wm. Wood, Drury
Hodges aud Isaac B. J uatice; the witnesses
were N. P. Briggs, Benjamin Despain, Wm.
Preston, Drs. J. R. Bailey, J. G. Combs and
T. J. Right.
Upon petition a respite was granted from
May 25th to June 221. This document
was sinned by John Whiteaker, governor,
and attested by :,u .-. Heath, secretary of
state.
The return of the execution was made in
the following words: I, S. B. Fargo, sher
iff of Benton count3, state of Oregon, do
hereby certify that- I sered the within war.
rant by erecting a gallows in Benton county
and hanging the said Philip George by the
neck until he was dead, which execution
took place on the 22d day of June, A. D.,
I860, instead of May 22d, as the governor
granted a respite for twenty-eight days
which stayed all proceedings till . 22d;
anil I took the said Philip George to the
gallows on the said 22.1 day of June, aud
thero bung him by the neck till dead. The
drop fell at 15 minutes past 12 o'clock, p. 111.
He hung twenty-five minutes. Drs. Right
and McAfee pronounced life extmot aud he
was let dnwu buried. Thus ended the
enreer of Philip George. .'

SUMMER RESORTS.
The Sunday Oregouian publishes a col
umn aud a half article on Yaquina Bay, tit
ti 'g it down as an ideal summer resort, and
adds:
"Newport is the point where a majority
of visitors make their home while at the
bay. There are several excellent hotels iu
the town aud quite a number of ood board
ing houses, aud all who spend any portion
of the summer at Yaquina, whether it be
but for a day or for a mouth or two, can be
assured that their creature comforts will lie
well provided for. There are a good many
people here at present and there is a daily
increase in arrivals, aud by the latter part
of this month Yaquina bay will doubtless
be crowded with those who wish a brief
respite from business cares and the affairs of
daily life."
Concerning the mountain resorts up the
Sautiain on the liue of the Oregon Pacific,
the article says:
"The Oregon Pacific railroad possesses a
rare advantage over its competitors iu the
matter of summer resorts. Iu addition to
the seaside resorts at Yaquiua bay and vi
ciuity, to which it gives easy access, their
line extends up into the Cascade mountains,
and a. tbe end of the track, up at an alti
tude of some 3,50') feet, there has just beeu
established a splendid hotel to accommodate
those who wish to spend a mountain vaca-
tiou inhaling the pure, bracing mountain
air. I he place lias tieen cnristeued idanan,
and its sylvan surroundings make it a
matchless resort, it is, in fact, one of tbe
first class mountain resorts of the north
west. Idauah is fifty-four miles east of Al
bany, and trains run daily to this point,
leaving Albany at 1:30 p. in. The scenery
along th liue is beautiful in the extreme,
and it is doubtful if there can be found any
where iu the country prettier sceucs than
8e eral that can be observed from the car
windows as the train whirls along on its
journey up into tbe heart of the Cascades.
The road follows the north fork of tbe San
tiam river, on its south bank, op as far as
MillJCity. At this poiut tbe road crosses
over to the north bank of the stream, on
which side it continues to its present termi
nus. After leaving Mill City the scenery
becomes grander aud more rugged. The
Sautiam river becomes more interesting to
study as it tumbles wi'dly over hnge bould
ers and through narrow gorges, while now
aud then it broadens out and becomes a
smooth, placid stream. The traveler along
this route who admires the beautksof na
ture cannot fail to enthuse over the varied
and ever-changing scenes that are before
him. . Those who would like to spend their
summer vacation in the mountains may be
interested in learning what the attractive
features are of Idauah as an outing place,
and your correspondent therefore journeyed
up into thb Cascades last week to inspect
this new resort.. Trout tishiug can be had
here galore. The San tiam river, on the
bank of which Idauah park is situated, is
fairly teeming with trout of all kinds, and
so successful are good fishermen for angling
for these daintiest of food tidies that even
their friends are loth to give their tales cre
dence. . Boulder creek, a pretty little stream
that flows iuto the Sanliaui near Idauab, is
also a splendid trout stream, while a few
miles further 'down is Breitenbush creek,
which also flows into the Sautiam aud is an
ideal trout stream. Bear, deer and elk
abound higher up iu the mountains, ami alt
who love the spurt of hunting such large
game can find no better place in America to
indulge their tastes than this. There is, as
before stated, an excellent hotel at Idanah,
and iu addition, there is a beautifnl wood
laud park where parties wl prefer can
pitch a tent and indulge in oa'r.u life in th
mountains."

indicted, but does not consider it dangerous.
Reports from Baker City are that a fabn
lously rich bed of gold was discovered. It
was found at the bottom of a a SO foot shaft
in the Virtue miue near that city. The
water was all pumped out and an almost
solid streak of gold eight inches wide was
revealed. Two miners took out two sacks
of ore worth $10,000. One specimen weigh
ing eight pounds, coutaius $800.
Eucrene merchants are now having large
qnautiti8 of gnodssh-'pped from Corvallis by
team. These goods come from San Francis
co by the O. P. steamer anr1 rail line, but a
recent raise iu the freight rates by the S. P.
from Albany to iMiKene renders it profitable
to ship by team. These' conditions are the
outcome of competition between the O. P.
and the S. P., and the disposition of vallei
merchants to trade with ban fruicrsco.
Joe Smith, a tramp, was placed in the

to the matter. It transpired that it was
another member of the Smith family. The

remarkable.

ABSQH7ELY FUSE,
NEWPORT NEWS,
SOME OF THE- BKAtmES OF OUK WESTERN
HKIGBBOR CITY VESCBIBED BY AN
OLD CORVALLIS RESIDENT.
Newport, Or.. July 18, 1893.
Editor Gazette: Comfortably settled in
what is known as the " Matthews Cottage,"
a beautiful spot on the bluff overlooking the
ocean, we are drinking in the salt and sight
and souud of the broad, blue sea. Already
we feel the stimulating effects and antici
pate much benefit from this health-giving
air.
There are fewer visitors to the coast this
year than we have seen during the past five
years. The hard times and the world's fair,
no doubt, have detained many; yet it may
be that when the very hut weather strikes
the valley, more will flee to tbe coast to ge
cool. Tbe accommodations at hotels and
for cottagers and.campera were never bet
ter, and all who come can be satisfied. The
new hotel at Big creek, "The Monterey,'
is cosily nesrled among the big trees of the
large aud handsome grove at that placo.
aud offers a calm retreat for the wearied
and. oppressed. We found our good
friend, Air. J. H. Wilson, of Corvallis, en
joying the comforts of this pleasant home.
He very kindly entertained ns duriug our
short visit there.
The Newport hotels, are bidding high.
with unusual attractions, for patronage
which we hope they will receive.
Occasionally we see a few lonely maidens
meandering the beach, ostensibly looking
for water agates, but really longing for some
absent lover who is unable to be present on
account of the present pressing circumstan
ces at home.
rhere has been but one bank failure hers
this season. The stockholders were mostly
rotten roots and dried-np grasr sods; the
deposits were large and consisted entirely
of sand and gravel. It ia generally supposed
that it will not resume, and, like all sand
banks, will eventually disappear. Another
bank has already started and is doiug a fair
business.
The carriage factory at this place for the
most part is timing ont only carriages.
There was one bicycle, however, that tried
to make a run on the beach but soon col
lapsed aud went in for repairs.
Please excuse the leanness of this epistle
and wait for more items in the next.
T. E. J.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN!
It is a well-known fact that the Burling
ton route has surveyors working out as far
as Idaho, and that their agents hare been
all over Oregon looking around; that they
are now extending their line this way in
Montana and that they will get au nutlet to
the deep w-.ter of the Pacific ocean in the
next few years. It is also knowu that the
Chicago & Northwestern is already away
out iu Wyoming, and that it tou, will soon
extend out to a Pacific port. The big Rock
Island Route has not yet pushed ont so far,
but they run magnificent trains to Denver.
In a letter to a Salem party received the
other day, John Sebastian, general passen
ger agent of the Rock Island, Chicago, said:
I hope another year we will have more
mileage in that district." We wonder what
Mr. Sebastian means? Does he mean that
his road is going to join in the chase to the
Pacific with the Burlington and Northwest
ern? If so, the writer hopes to see the race

CORVALLIS TO THE FRONT.
Tbe Corvallis Daily News is the name of a
new paper which was nshcred into existence
Tuesday evening. Henry Pape, jr., who is
not unknown to newspaper fame in this
county, is the publisher. Business men and
others interested would be glad to know
that there is a field here for a local daily
paper, edited with some ability, and which
could give the more important news of the
world to its readers in advance of tbe Port
land dailies. The pub .cation of a daily, in
Corvallis, on any other basis will uot meet
what little demand there is for an evening
journal. But, Mr. Pape is persevering un
der adverse circumstances; he has a prolific
resource of devices for bridging financial
chasms not possessed by ordinary business
men, and possibly persons of ordinary acu
men are not suitable judges ot what may be
accomplished by the Daily News. There is
no protective duty ia tbe newspaper realm;
it is on a " revenue only " basis, and
the producer, or his friends, pays tb tax.
So the News has fall scope for its pbyskal,
moral, or irttelleetaal powers.

TO MARY'S PEAK,
! A party consisting of T, A. Belt", wife aarl
son, Zepbiw Job-, wile aS sonr Frank Cio
vr and wife, Mrs. Coaptry Mis Kenni
Harris ami M. P. Baraett stastedl for the
sammit of Mary's Tea& Swttmhry morn
ing. They eamped at the Ins ef the aaoun
tail. SatimUy night and tire following morn
ing packed the camp eewipaig wpo their
horses and ascended to- tbe suownrt of
the peak, which i sard1 to- be- about i ve
nules from the head of eomforUbla navlga
tion. But there is- eertnrnly as maoh dis
crepancy iu the actaal and the stated' dis
tances of one of these Miles aa there is be
tween th aeta and stated amounts vf
land m an acre of mouotaiuouw country.
Around about Mary's Psmlt there ia a great
deal of distance to the mile. There ia no.
great amount of pleasure te be btainedV
during the time eoasunted m the ascent ex
cept in taking an occasional rest. At ether
times the cirenmstanees require a strict at
tention to business. The strmtnit reached,
however, the view rs well worth the slight;
inconveniences of the journey. The weather
and atmosphere was very favorable pont
the occasion of this party's visit, and the
view was unfolded in two distinct panora-.
mas which were magnificent ib th extreme.
From this point a view is at once obtained!
of almost the entire Wtllamettei valley with
its cities, towns, rivers, groves, grain-fields, '
etc., shut in upon- the eastern horizon by
tbe rugged Cascade range from which tha
many Miow-peaks ascend in increased1 grand
eur as the higher ponrteof observation! aro
obtained. The minor observations through,
a field-glass are also very interesting. To
the westward there is an intimate succession
of mountains, between whose walls th
meek burntwoodsman dwelleth in happy se
clusion. But we most retain an elevated
position and pass on over this vast expanse)
of mountain tops until the eye reaches th
western confines of the American continent
and beyond to a point where the ocean com
mingles with the sky-blue of heaven. We
hope this will meet the expectations ef our
readers, so tar aa the general view is con
cerned. We now return to camp es the peak, par
take of luncheon, and place ourselves in am
advantageous attitude to witnsss the sun
sink into the western sea. This was alses
charming scene; but we have no sunset des
criptions on hand at tpreseut, and therefor
will be compelled t onsit special meat ion of
this feature of the programme.
Later in the dewy evenmsj the converse "
tion drifted from one subject to another and
finally to the aborigine who burned their
signal fires on this spot in the misty ages ef
the past. The discussion of Indians and.
Indian character led te the suggestion of a
socirl war-dance, which was indulged in and,
greatly enjoyed by all present.
There are some of the details of thin trip
which are necessarily left ont of the account
and the discomforts of sleeping out upon,
the ground will not bedwelt npoo. Monday
morning we saw the sun rise. This wan
very interesting to some members of the
party who bad not before witnessed this
well-known phenomenon of nature. Soot
after the morning meal the descent was be-
gun aud was without incident. A littl
diversion indulged shonld have been noted. ,
previously, and as the pie aster in mind is)
seldom enjoyed here in midsummer it mns6
not be omitted. At s large snow-drift.
one of the ladies of the party nnder-
took a toboggan slide, and was fairly
successful iu so far as she slid, although the -
abeence of necessary conveniences rendered,
tbe act quite hazardous to tbe sensibilities,
not only of tbe lady herself, bat of the en
tire party.
The vehicles were reached in good season,
and after a rest of a few hours, the party
started homeward. Six o'clock p. m. fonnd
all safely in their respective homes in Corval
lis, somewhat weary and worn, but barintj
no regrets of the trip to offer.
"GREEN GOODS " DOCUMENTS.
The "green geods" people are again en
deavorirg to work this commnuity. A.
number of letters have been received threngh
the Corvallis postoffice lately, setting fortta
tbe perfection of the eoonterfeit greenback
exchanged for coin by the operators, witht
the same " fake " newspaper clippings which
have been sent for years. It wonld appear
from one ef these letters received here thsfc
the postal detectives are shadowing some of
the persons engaged in the hnsinett. Upon
the ontside of the envelope enclosing thin
letter were in effect the following words:
" Tbe postal department has ressen te be
lieve that the within matter b ef n frandn
lent nntnr. If sncb prove to be the fact
npon exantination, the person addressed will
confer a favor by retarnrng t the local
posttaaster the envelope and contents te bm
forwarded te postal neadqaartsra." Tho
person who mailed the letter is evidently -known
to the detectives, and ae the gentle
man who received the doenmente at one
complied with instfuctinns, H -wonld seem
that a strong dew ntsst be obtained.
