Monday afternoon the fire . alarm, was
sounded and instantly the streets were
thronged with volunteers to assist in avert
ing damage to whatever might be threatened
with destruction. The residence of Dr.
Robert Wilson was ablaze, the conflagration
originating in the basement flue, and the
department's prompt response prevented
the razing of the structure. Considerable
damage was done, the most thereof, being
caused by water and the loss aggregated
about $450, which was covered by insurance
in the Pbcunix.

PUBLIC MEETING.
President BIoss, of the state agricultural ,
college, desires that the citizens "f Corvallis
and others interested assemble at the court
house next Monday evening, Oct. 16, for the
purpose of making arrangements for the re
ception of the state horticultural society,
whose sessions will be held in this city oh
the 24th and 25th inst. Business men, ag
riculturists, horticulturists and citizens gen
erally are urged to , lend their presence .on
this occasion to help make arrangements for
the proper entertainment of the ( city's
guests. . ' ' . ',
In this connection we desire to announce
that a meeting of the west side editors will
be held in Corvallis on Monday, the 23d
inst.,and for, the few hoars they will be" with
us preparations should be madefor their care.
Corvallis has been honored by being .se
lected as the birth-place ot a new editorial
association, the objects of which are mainly
to advance the material interests pf the sev
eral localities represented, aud we feel : as
sured that those who wield the faberon ths
west side of the Willamette will have
occasion to regret their visit to this fair city.
The. business of the editors will be transact
ed Monday afternoon, after which they will
be at the disposal of their friends. .

sort requiring au ingredient of water, or
had some of the "4ity dads" desired to
take a bath, or had- Tuesday "afternoon been.
ft .Chinaman's wash-day, all such proceed
ings would have, from necessity, been sus
pended; but as there was no emergency of
the kind the absence of water In the Cor
vallis Water Co.'s mains was of but little
consequence. This condition of affairs was
due to the repairs that were being, made in
the way of displacing the old six -inch
suction with a -new one ten inches in diam
eter, thereby increasing the capacity of the
water power about three times that of the
former . supply, .hf wae 4n .the riyer
on Tuesday afternoon' was reported to be
nearly sixteen,feet above low, ,water mark,
and during- his aimrf thl. water company
operated their pnmp machinery under fif
teen inches of ,'wa4v Wili nothirtg 'visible

making quite extensive improvements upon
their plant and the citizens may expect in
creased pressure and better service in the
future.

l?QT,FALLIBLE,t,, , '
Last week, was an unlucky one for The
Gazsttk so far as errors are concerned. Our
notice of the meeting' of the Agassiz Scien
tific; Society was rroaooos from " the; fact
tnat it recoraea an event that ma not aap-.
ped Vintil' sr week' later 'than' advertised.
Thin was due wholrj to carefes oversigntr
The 'next mistake was the announcement
that Miles Wilkins bad been enjoined from
taking possession of Hotel Corvallis, which
misinformation was conveyed to as just be
fore oar forms were closed, and the last er
ror was of the birth of a daughter to the wife
of a distinguished citizen of Corvallis, in
which the writer thou eh t he might be
f funny" by the prefix of an innocent phrase,
and in consequence the jealous papa stop
ped bis paper. We are sorry for the narrow'
minded consideration of our faults and hope
that in future they may be few; bat, like he
and most of the human-race, we are not m
fallible.

BEAUTIFUL SPECIMENS.
Receiver Hadley has had prepared for
transmittal to Congressman Hermann at
Washington, D. G, to be placed on exhi
bition iu the committee room of the com
mittee on rivers and harbors, an elegant
case containing a condensed exhibition of
the principal products of the state of Ore
gon, which seek an outlet to the markets . of
the world via the Oregon Pacific railroad
aud Yaquina bay. The case is about three'
feet long by twelve inches wide, and six
inches deep. The upper half folds back so
as to stand at right angles to the body of
the esse and forms a receptacle for twelve
exhibition bottles, containing oats, eastern
Oregon wheat, valley wheat, barley, hops,
tan bark, Chittim bark,' two samples of
coal, glazing clay, and wool. In the lower
portion of the case are nine samples of
native woods, comprising red cedar, hem
lock, spruce, cotton wood, red fir, oak, ash,
dog wood,, aud maple, together with three
samples of stone, one being from the quarry
near Corvallis, one from a very, tine-grained
quarry near Monroe, and one from the
silver grey stone quarry recently opened at
Pioneer, on the line of the Oregon Pacific
railroad. At the right hand is a photo
graphic view of Yaquina bay,' and at the
left a table of statistical information ' with
reference to the products exhibited. The
case itself is a thing of beauty and an ex
hibit of the woods of the state, being made
from twelve different kinds of our native
woods. 'The top, in particular, is very
pretty, being made of eight narrow strips,
each of a different kind of wood beautifully
polished. The case is the workmanship of
William Butler of Corvallis, and the beauty
and excellence ot its execution proves him
to be a master workman. Mr. Hadley de
serves great credit forjhis untiring efforts in
behalf of the state'at large, as well as the
railroad which he so ably manages.
Mr. Hermann will use this exhibit to
open' the eyes of his colleagues to the fact
that Oregon is a most wonderful and prolific
state, and that Yaquina bay being the
nearest seaport is deserving oi a most
liberal appropriation for the continuance of
the government works there, which proved
so successful in making the entrance to this
harbor one of the best and safest on the
Pacific coast.
It is estimated that it will requiro an ap-
propriation of about $1,000,000 to complete
the necessary work on Yaquina harbor, and
the efforts of the united press of this state
should be directed towards accomplishing
this much needed end, meaning when com
pleted, 'such a vast amount of good not only
to the people of the Willamette valley and
eastern Oregon, but indirectly to the entire
population of thejgreat and growing north
west. , The aid;of congress in this matter
means much to the Oregon Pacific railroad
and the country traversed by it, and it will
not be the fault of our most able represent
ative Hon. Binger Hermann in that body
if failure is the result of the effort i made
in the line indicated,, Give us the needed
assistance,, ye mighty powers that be.
: ' SUSTAIN. THE LAW. , .
Stewart ' Moore, commonly -' known as
"Sid," was arrested on Saturday night on a
charge of vagrahoy; aud gave bonds for his
appearance in court on Monday morning.
'At the appointed hour Police Judge Porter
ascended the throne of justice and the edict
was issaed for a' trial by jury, whereupon
"six men and true" were arrayed in the jus-1
tice box to'decide upon vagrant proclivities
pf "' the prisoner at the bar, snd midst the
whittling of sticks and chawing of "chaws"
tithe wore on apace With ho progress made
in the prosecution. Weary grew ' the jurors
and anxious was the victim of the law to
learn his status in this social sphere, on ac
count of the inanition of those supposed to
furnish the evidence that would either make
him a "gintleman" or a "vag." Officer Mc-
Lagan . was the complaining witness, who
was' awakened. from his' morning nap 'and
signed the , complaint oh request of Chief of
jroiice fayjnr, it was arranged that. the
night officer .was to be called for trial in
time to give in bis testimony, bat for some
reason or other this was not done, and the
police judge dismissed the case for want of a
prosecuting witness, . ; More or , less bad
blood was in circulation for a few hours, buti
the writer did not investigate the- cause . ,
This arrest we understand .to have been
the outcome, of a reform uovSment of the
city authorities towards; the removal of the
bad element from our midst and to the sup
pression of. gambling, in, its I public j farm.
What effect! this failure to prosecute will
have upon the future of the movement of te
formiis uuknowm Of one thins we feel a
sured .however, sad that is that the provis
ions of ths law in reference: to gambling and
other sice shouldf be strictly enforced and
the laxity of any and all offioials ia that di
rection ought to receive the honest censure
of the people. ,"A public office is public
trust,'', as Grover Cleveland says, and the
moral rights of ths public require that those
to whom they are entrusted should perform
the-; sacral duties- involved therein the
majesty of the law should be sustained witfc
put any semblance of partiality. -

THE OLDER COAST RANGES.
With More Recent Geological
Formations in Benton
County.
BY JOHN RAY.
"Over the Rocky Mountain region, and west
ward at intervals as far as the Sierra Nevada,
occur isolated areas and outcropping mountain
masses and ranges of Bozoic rocks which have
been largely concealed by later sedimentation."
Winchbll
It may appear singular that while the
U. S. geological surveys have done so
much for California, Washington, Idaho
and Montana so little attention has been
paid to Western Oregon. This, perhaps,
may be explained in this way, that, in
those states, there was some probability
of finding material of economic value,
while in Western Oregon,'witbthe label
it has long carried of its geological posi
tion, nothing of the kind could be
expected.
The position given us by a leading
geological text-book, published as late as
1888, in speaking of the uplifts of the
Sierra and Coast Ranges, says "The Coast
Range was not formed until the end of
the Miocene." Other text-books take
the same position. Neither is there in
those books but little indication that
other than Miocene strata is to be found
in this part of the state, though, Prof.
Winchell suggests an ancient land in this
locality.
We desire to say here that so far as a
Miocene uplift is concerned they are cor
rect, but by far the most prominent and
pronounced formations have been over
looked. There was a series of well-written
articles on the geology of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana by Her
bert Lang in the Oregonian about 1886,
but Western Oregon had only a few lines
devoted to it The writer of this paper
at that time attempted to correct errors,
but, investigations then made had not
been sufficiently thorough to insist upon
a claim when that claim, apparently, was
against all authorities. J;But since then,
with repeated examinations and study,
together with the work of the geological
surveys in the older Coast Ranges in
Northern California and published in
their' several bulletins, and with the
paleontological department's acknowl
edgement and determination of fossils
sent, from this locality, enables me now
to speak with more certainty and exact
ness than previously upon these forma
tions which have so long been overlooked.
LOCALITY.
The old county of Benton was bounded
on the east by the Willamette river and
on the west by the Pacific ocean. With
the exception of a littleiPliocene at the
western end (and of which no further
mention will be made in this paper)
this territory is cut through, irregularly,
north and south, by jthree other2 forma
tions. (We have called Eocene and Mio
cene each one.) These three formations
are each . conspicuous in their hills or
mountains." The central or oldest has
the greatest ' elevation and boldest out
line. To the west is found the Miocene
next in prominence also oacupying the
largest amount of territory, as well the
range of mountains of this age has
received the title of Pacific Coast Range.
To the east of the first-mentioned is
found the Eocene, and . probably older.
The latter is only conspicuous in the
beauty which the low gentle contour of
the hills lends to the landscape.
Standing immediately west of Corvallis
and looking to the west and upwards is
seen the dark, undulating outline of a
range of mountains backed by the hori
zon. Running the eye from north to
south a distance of twenty-five miles or
more, it is seen this range nearly forms
the arc of a circle, the north point of the
arc resting about six miles from us direct
ly north, the center about Mary's Peak,
thence running south-east until it is lost
in the distance. (It should be stated
here the range is broken just south of
Philomath and begins again at the south
end 1 of Cardwell hilL Opening about
two miles wide. This opening no dohbt
was the entrance of . the waters of the
Pacific ocean to this valley long before the
Miocene hills were brought forth. ) ' This
range ii the eastern face of the oldest
formation. ' In the foreground and run
ning east to the river and on to the Cas
cades the space is filled with numerous
low hills. These are generally of Eocene
formation,1 or ' the equivalent' of the
Chico-Tejon of California. "t

It is at this northern point our work
begins. This portion Of the range has as
elevation above the valley of at least
x.pfiQ. feet i Springing from the chain
run runs' in a south-westerly direction it
turns abruptly to the east for one mile,
then again takes its northerly direction.
This sudden torn to tne east presents a
fine sloping breast to the south. It is
upon this breast and the foreground with
the connecting range we call attention.
: , j SURFACE MATERIAL. ; ,, , , .
, As we approach the ;base of this hilb
following the wagon road about one mile,
the ground, while undulating, gradually
rises some fifty, or more feet On the
road, as we pass, several white strings or.
ribbons stretch across the road, varying
from' one' foot to 'several feet Wide. From
this higher elevation of the road we as
cend the bill to about one-half its height
As we go along, numerous slabs of grey
rock protrude through the soil, bleached
by sun and weather, for they have an an
tique look if compared with what we find
elsewhere. The rock at its highest ele
vation is found to be a Breccia, It is
largely of fragments of shells, a few very
small pebbles (diabose) and occasionally
fine refuse from the scouring of pebbles.
Its cementing material or paste is lime
often in crystals flat flesh-colored plates
and white pearly faces mixed with parti
colored, round, oval or angular frag
ments similar to the pebbles mentioned
aDove. These, with the fine curves of
the lemon-yellow colored pebbles make
rather pretty rock , when polished.
From this upper line down to the base
and extending on into the lowlands (not
the valley proper) about one mile, this '
material is found, with this difference.
At the southern line it is dug from
beneath the -.surface about twenty-five
feet When dry it is hard, white, cellu
lar, and fine grain. The material-is a
marlite. Dip to the. west, gently rising
also with the hill to the north.
In a little material of this formation
which was sent to the geological depart
ment, Washington, in reply say: : "The
specimens of 'older rocks' contain noth
ing recognizable excepting a single small
Rhynchonella which does not give much
indication of age."
From the upper line of the Breccia to
the top of the hill no rock exposures are
visible, excepting, near the central upper
portion, a slide has removed much mate
rial, and left exposed an upright shaft
with base of grey metamorphic rock.
On top of the hill which for a considera
ble distance is somewhat fiat a large
quantity of black crystallized igneous
rock lay in blocks or boulders. Beneath,
is a good soil. Timber growing luxuri
antly. Under the soil a few feet is found
heavy body of iron-stained residual
clay. This latter also forms the breast
of the hill down to the pudding stone' or
Breccia. Under and back of this residu
al clay is metamorphic pyroxene rock.
This residual clay is the. decomposed
pyroxene material Below, and to the
east of the breast much, of the .lower
front surface is composed of igneous
workings, producing basalts, amygdal-
oids, etc. This amigdaloidal rock is lilac
in color. After it is dug from its bed it
is friable, t The amygdules on top are
not very large, oblong, and of irregular
size and form. When broken contain
fine silken'threads of white, 'yellow or
green, while the lining of the shell pre
sents, as it were, a soft, cottony bed of
similar colors as above. ' '-'' - "'
rsd rock. ;
About the center of this southern face
and about one hundred feet above the
road is a somewhat bulky deposit stand
ing in front with almost vertical face ten
or twelve feet high,, running back , into
the hill, or rather, butting against igne
ous rock, for it has been cut in two .with,
this material. The deposit, in color is a
bright, light red but close to the intra-.
sive rock it is of darkish brown. It is
interspersed with numerous fine white
lines lime after the manner of marble,
Occasionally a darkish purplish spot Is
found here and there. The rock is some
what porous," stands ' exposure ' to the
weather, and if cut with a knife leaves a'1
gloss - much ' the same 'as in clay or soft '
magnesian'rock.' There is no 'sign of
stratification, though the rock will often ;
break as if of bedded structure.' This '
rock seems as if it might have come from '
a spring'. ". '. ! ." uiii.us.ttl
