THE COOK'S GREETING.
The colored gentleman wbo presides over
the culinary department of Hotel Corvallis
is by no means an ordinary "coon," but a
distinguished Indian tourist who hails from
Barbodoes, Sandwich Islands. The treat
ment he received by way of paid "ads" in
the city press since his arrival ssetns to be
a mutual in his experience and he gives ex-
prewion to his rythmic thoughts as follows:
To the Gazette Edrob,:
On my first appearance In this town.
Through you 1 leapt into local fame at one bound;
Pleased was I, though astonished, qtiite,
To be placed before such a dazzling light,
I have traveled far from my home to Spain:
Seen wonderous Bights alone the main;
Been complimented often by persons of renown;
But the sweetest I ever got I received in this town.
Hail to the ladies with slender forms,
Jehovah guard their beauty and shield them from
storms.
Oregon's daughters are sweet and fair,
go I have resolved to linger here.
Now should you print these lines, I beg of you
To add auotner word or two.
As coining lrotn me anent the ladies eyes
Which 1 truly laud up to the skies.

FROM MONROE.
Ai Wilhelm, the merchant of Monroe, was
in Corvallis Tuesday and reports that the
people of the southern portiou of the county
are all getting along about as well
as they are in other portions of the
state. They are taking the business
depression philosophically, bat have various
notions about when times may get better.
"To sell or not to sell at pressnf prices"
. . ... i
that is the question with them, and the
farmer's meditation runs very much the
same course as Shakspeare's soliloquy.
Mr. Wilhelm held over a large quantity
of last year's wheat in the warehouse at
Monroe Landing, but he decided -to unload
to some extent before this season's crop
came in. He therefore disposed ot ,UUU
busheis to Mr. Fischer, of the Corvallis
flouring mills, at 55 cents in the warehouse
near Monroe. On Thursday of last week he
also sold to S.in Francisco parties 650 tons
at 60 cents per bushel delivered in San
Francisco. The grain is carried from Mou
roe Landing to this city by steamboat, hence
to its destination by rail and ocean steamer
via Yaquiua.
T A B LE MOUNTAIN SU EtVEY.
Last April Deputy U. S. Surveyor A. L.
Porter secured the contract of surveying
township 12 south, range 9 west, in Lincoln
county. Last week Mr. Porter received
instructions from the surveyor general's
office to pioceed with the Burvey at bis ear
liest convenience and he is preparing to take
the field. Mr. Porter went to Portland on
Tiiursday of last wee'i to have his instru
ments examiued by the surveyor-general,
I. ..i ; ,lu,,nt triMiit. whir.h ilenutv sur-

veyors are required to comply with once a

vey by the first of January, and it will be
after such report is made
, v 1 j

jThe land o be surveyed is in the Table
i mountaiu section of country, where there
are already a number of settlers who will be
glad to know that they can soon obtain title
to their homes.
A SUNDAY FO JT RACE.
The subject of foot-racing has been gen
erally disscussed, pro and con, on the streets
0f Corvallis, in the stores and the Times,
and there seems to be a diveisity of opinion
A.i,nr!iim. the wrotiii and right thereot.
We have in mind a new variety of the above
sport wherein, "owing to the stnngncy in
the money market," if you please, a faithful
friend and valued time-piece figured as the
stakes , for a pedestrian contest that
occurred last Sunday sometime between the
beginning- and ending of that day: "Char;

were permitted to witness this trial of speed,

memoration of the death of Gaedalyati, the
head of the Jewish nation at the time of
their dethronement from Jerusalem, and
who was on that day slain. Mr. Jake Blnm
berg received a new year token from his
mother in a letter written at St. Petersburg,
Russia, Aug. 10. which is of pecu'.iar yet
pretty design, printed in gilt upon transpar

Stock's Cash Store and Blumbere's gro

A LACERATED HAND.
Last Tuesday as wm. Boyce, of Alsea,
was working about Porter & Bryan's thresh
er near Nort.ins he met with a severe acci
dent While the rifachine was in motion he
undertook to remove some straw from the
back of the cylinder and put his hand in too
far, when it was caught by the cylinder and
l,l!v lacerated. He came to town for sur-
gical treatment, and it was found necessary
to amputate the.thumooi tne leu nana.
OPENED THE SEWER.
At the instance of the city authorities Mr.
nwher was eneaeed several days this week

near the intersection ot I bird ana A.uan

in a nnmber of places and was in a bad con-

that any debris may be removed without

ALBANY STEAM LAUNDRY.

SNEAK THIEVES AT WORK.
On Monday night while Mr. W. E. Chan
dler, of Simpson, Huston & Co., was sound;
ly sleeping iu one of the rooms on the ground
floor of Mr. Simpson's residence some per
son (or thing) small in stature and devoid of
principle quietly helped himself to a pair of
pantaloons and contents, the principal value
of which was a purse contaiuing about 18
in cash. Mr. Chandler, as usual when he
retires, left the window hoisted and the thief
thus had an easy job to secure his booty
Ha u a short thiVf but evidently had a
iona reach, and was obliged to bring to his
assistance an inverted wash-tub, which with
a board placed on top he Was enabled to
secure the obiects of his search. Thus ele
vated this midnight visitor had an easy job
and by the aid of a long stick accomplished
his purpose without entering the room by
drawing the rocking chair noiselessly within
reach and appropriating its contents, includ
ing a few articles belonging to the lady of
the house, who was absent. hen poor
Chandler awoke and realized that the only
articles of clothing left biin were his hat,
vest, shoes and stockings his plight was
pitiai.le, indeed, and as it was near the hour
to begin labor for the day he hardly knew
what to do. Even the nntneutiouable por
tion of his wardrobe had disappeared and
were promiscuously strewn about the lawn
undisguised and subject to the gaze of the
numerous passers-bj. Finally he hailed a
passing friend whom he informed of his con
dition and was soou relieved by a new sup
ply of wearing apparel.
Suspicion points very strongly to a cer
tain individual now uuder police surveil
ance for other petty thefts, and if caught
and convicted the penalty of his crime
should be made severe.
By way of warning Thb Gazette would
caution all its friends to be on their guard
for the visits of these insects of vice and
prepare to give them a hot reception.
THE FRUIT SITUATION.
At the present time the outlook for green
fruits of all kinds seem favorable. The
apple crop of the west is deficient and Mon
tana dealers are ordering apples from this
valley and Southern Oregon. 3. A. Clark
shipped a mixed car with 130 boxes of ap
ples last week. The demand for Bartlett
pear3 seenres growers an offer of one and
one half cents per pound from Portland deal
ers, hut the quotations from Chicago are
52.00 aud ?2 50 a box this week, a sharp
advance on August prices.- All plums and
prunes have advanced; California has few
nlnm or Bartlett Dears left, so Oregon bas
no competitor fof her peafs and date plnms.
Qaotatioaaiar- Hungarian prunes,, ia New I
York $1.30 per twenty-pound crates. This
gives growers two and one-half cents per
Dound for the fruit, net. lhe .Karl irme
Co. anticipate good prices for Italian prunes,
as they came late ana none are grown save
in tho Pacific northwest. A great many
young orchards are beginning to bear where
the growers have not prepared to dry the
fruit, and will be glad to realize fair price.
so it is thought many car loads of Italians,
Hungarians and silver prunes will go east
from Oregon. Statesman.
CORVALLIS WILL LEAD.
During his visit to the world's fair Prof,
French says he received many anxious in
quiries concerning Oregon and ber climate,
soil, products, etc. He reports that Man
ager H. R. Lewis, of Oregon s exhibit, is
kept quite busy in answering the numerous
questions about our ffuit and explaining
our resonrces. His wife, who attends him,
through curiosity thought she would count
the number of times Mr. Lewis went over
bis story during an hour's time aud found
thirty-two to his credit. The professor
says that in all his journey he did not see
as much fruit as was to be seen between
Portland aud Corvallis: neither was the
quality of what he saw to be compared with
the Oregon product. Surely speculative
eyes are looking northwestward, and of the
localities to be benefitted by an increased
population this valley will reap the lion's
snare, ana vervains ana vicinity wm get
the lion, all but the tail, for we've got the

I HE WAS LOST.
Last Moiidnv evening na a Oat'rtt' renor

sldwly, but snrelv. n'oddintf his waV n'onie'
ward he was startled by hearing footstep
approaching rap-.rlly not on art enfity
stomach, but from the rear; taking the
scribe's face as a standpoint. After a hast
consultation with "Friday" a bait was called
until the man, for such it turned ont to be,
came up. 1 je was, from all appearances, '
30 or 40 years of age, out of breath, and of
medium height. When within shaking
distance, malarially speaking, he gasped i
'Is there a hotel in this town?" "Yoii bet
ye," came ont of the cavernous pie bin of
the scribe. "Say, Johnny;" the reporter's)
nunc wasn't Johnny, and ho indignantly
made that fact k:iowii( but. the stranger kept?
on. "What towu is this?" "Corvallis.''
"Well gol dam me, is this CorvallLi?" Af
ter being ass'ired by '"Friday" that there
could be no mistake, he continued: '-HangJ
me! I belong at the b.iy; I came over here
with Charley Wynant; ho stayed here and
I went over to Albany. ' There I got in witli
Landis, the barber excasa me, but what?

being informed that it was the S. P., he
remarked: "Well go! darn me, I crossed

he broke off again, looked sheepishly around
and asked: "What time is it?" Aim in the

I've been feeling around out here for an hour.-
Well, as it was only fonr miles I concluded
to walk into town on the railroad track $
I ve beeu here a thousand times, and 1
thought I knew the place, but as soon as I
struck town I swore, 'by the stringency in
the money market,' that this wasu't Corval

A long, bony hand pointed skyward, and
the man looked happy once more. "Well,

boys would have the Lurch on me, and it"
auit what its cracked up to be to let then

acknowledged that it was "rather binding

PROF. HORNKR'S VISIT EAST.
As related by . himself, the story of his)
visit to the world's fair and the east
is one. of intense interest. He gives sv
glowing description of the many wonderful
things that he saw while there and draws',
pictures of the display at whifch one might?
look with astonishment. The' arrangement
of that wonderful show is s novel and
complete to the domestic eyo that the tern
"admiration" fails to convey the impression!
made upon the sight seer as he in turn be'
holds here and there tho wondoroiis achieve -ments
of man. The visitor who has been
a student of foreign and ancient habits ant
customs is carried rapidly through imagin
ary scenes of his readings that recall many"
vivid recollections of beauties beyond th
geMfirst in Spain then in Home where
grandeur and glory wore builded to the joy
of mankind; then the wonders of our owr
rative land arise in their mnjostic splendor
to outshine it all. The world s fair is an
undoubted success in every particular, un
less it be in a financial way, and the pro -fessor
pronounces it the grandest school o t
modern ages alike for the illiterate as for
the educated aud cultured tourist whr
chances to pass that way. Ho says, too,
that that great city on the lake itself in
well worth a trip from Oregon to see. His
His description- of some of those mammoth
structures, the Masonic temple, twenty one
stories hiyh, auditorium, and many of the
leading buildings ot that wonderful metrop
olis are magnificent to gaze upon. Pricef
for accommodations are much more reason-
able than are to be expected Only the
most expensive hotels and lodging boused
are advertised. The profe3Sor aud wife had
a nicely furnished room cn North Clark
street, a fashionable locality, with all mod
ern conveniences at the rate of $2,00 each
per week. While the times are striugenfe
and monev tight with many of our people,
a portion of the funds of those who can af
ford could well be spent for a trip to wii-'
cago and the Columbian exposition- ,
