THE -CORV ALMS GAZETTE. FUIDaY AUGUST 3, lo94. SOME EMBRYO MAZ.V MAP. Knineteen Kids Klime the Kliff Two Others too Krafty. A longing desire to satisfy a long-felt want led a number of onr young people to formulate some plan by which this intense ..!.. mi.difc he satisfied. This craving nUtrl in an intense desire to satisfy a long felt want. Almut a month ago a committee was appointed to peruse closely the "want" column of the lai!y papers a..d determine what kind of want the party wanted. They reported no preres. The young people were growing d. sper ate when George E. Waggoner blandly came to the front with the suggestion that a campir.fi trip, where all kinds of fresh, air and moun tain scenery could he bad at the subtest piwsible cost, was the sort of want th.-.t was desired. This suggestion met with hearty approval of the male contingent, whose purses are affected l.y a leanness which has become chionic. Mr. Wagoner himself was the recipient of numerous bursts of applause and was compelled to answer a curtain call when he suggested Mary's Peak as the objective paint. The day firt set for carrying out the plan was July 21st, bat when the sun -rose on tl ;.t morning a diificulty arose with it. One mem'-er of the company, who had been working upon j the sympathies of his parental ancestor ou Lis father's side for the loin of a horse whose maternal ancestor gave Napoleon the laugh -at Waterloo, had not as yet accom plished bis desire. The old gentleman, with that caution common to extreme age, was standing off B. W. with the excuse that he did not like to trust a youth of his ten der years, so inexperienced in hand mg horses, with a steed that could boast of such an illustrious ancestry. p. S. B. W. stands f ir bew ire. P. -S. 2. Suffice to say the party did not start as p-r schedule. All the horses, wagons, tents, harness and other necessary paraphernalia for the trip had been either borrowed, begged or stol,:i., and at 3 o'clock last Saturday afternoon the party left town-without a aiiis!e hitch, uu lesa the house lining connections the horses bad with the vehicles could bo dignitied with the name. All went "merry as a marriage ball un til a point was reached where it was found uecessary to abandon the wagon road for a narrow steep trail down the mountain side to Hock creek. Here a cotisrltatinn was held to determine upon the best plan of trans porting the camp plunder, grub, etc., from this point to the head of navigation, some two miles distant. Many and ingenious were the methods proposed, but finally one member coaxed an idea from und. r his hat. that met with thr? hearty approval of th assembly. Thi3 proposition was to pink the Etnlf on the cnitans, and as each men ber had expressed a thorough knowledge of the art of packing, it wrts thought that r.o trouble would ensue. Brit strange to relat", , when they came to apply their knowledge it wonldn't work according to .;r;c'ions What had promised to be a diamond hitch tnmed out to be m old maid's knot; one of the fellows had j:!8" completed picking his steed, and was viewing his work with great satisfaction, when his admiration w;'S tnriiert to snoreme disgust by one of the ladies of the party, who informed him thr-t it was customary to place th cinch abaft the fore leas instead of oiider the animal's chin. Messrs. Allen and Johnson were amort? the first to complete their labors, and the manner in which thy had aconin -pushed their work challenged the ndmira tion of the entire patty. Their pack con is ted of the greater portion of the yield of a ten-acre hay field, which nestled down on top of the bedding and beds for six, that served as a pail between the horse and his daily bread. While the work was being completed the horse had been assiduously - preparing a blauket. sandwich by transfer ring large uiuuthfuls of hay from his exter ior to his iiiwcii. r man. On removing th blind brid.e, the horse discovered that 1 bad been gro;s!y imposed uuuu aud entered a kick that missed Johu A.ien so closely that he retired in disorder, leaving the coast (iangt.) clear to the hay-freighted horse which pluuged down the t'aii, fifty feet per plunge. Some few mmr.Ct-s prior to the equine's sudden departure the ladie3 of the p-irty becoming anxious to explore the trail before them,' d.jperted the boys and went gambolii-.g down the mountain, laugh ing ami shouting at every gambol. xt the first intimation of open hostilities between , the boys and their long-suffering beast, George Waggoner, with his accustomed . foresight, bounded down the path to ap prise the yonng 1 vdics of their danger. He had just gotten in one or two good bounds, when he heard the maddened ani- mal thundering down t:ie canyon, dis tributing hay nnd confusion in every direc tion. He was closely, followed by the remaining braves of the party, who were yelling and screeching like a bind of Comanche warriors at a "hair raising bee." The Fcene presented snch a ludicrous ap pearance to the young ladies that they were nearly driven into convulsions with laugh ter. This made yonng George so iudiguant ' that he refused to eat during the remainder of the trip. "All things come to bira who waits," nnd although George wasn't wast ing any time waiting, the horse got there just the same. There was a short and de cisive straggle, -George being declared the winner, nnd after considerable coaxing, the animal finally permitted the pack to be replaced. This being accomplished the party got started in good shape down the canyon, each of the fellows loaded to the guard with camp equipage. Owing to the poor work in. packing, every few yards something would be lost. Fiually. "Doc." Allen aud B. W. were deputed to bring up the rear and gather in all lost articles. As a consequence, when the creek was i reached the packs from the five horses had been ueatly transferred to the backs of Doc and Burt who were grinning under their loads like a couple oi California burros. Poor Felton, who was ploddiiig uncomplain ingly along ander a clothes basket contain ing a hundred pounds of grub, was run down by an ungrateful youug horse that he had shown many favors during the early part of the trip. EJ was only slightly in jured, but a post-mortem examination held over the contents of the basket resulted in the discovery that half of the crockery was broken and the erstwhile dainty pies aud cakes were mangled beyond recognition. All the psrty having arrived at tbe creek, a camp was made for the night and after supper all tamed in to enjoy a few hours rest before undertaking the long journey up the mountain. Some of the young ladies being of tender years it was found neces sary to furnish them with a little vocal 'music to lull them to their slumber. A quartette consisting of three of the mos! able bodied youug men volunteered to fur nish the nnisie, and they were just getting their voices int' good tune wheu that bo The AamoJd Concert. LOCAL HAPPENINGS. logna sausage began to get hi its work, and what at first had promised to be a splendid rendition of "Annie Liurie" ended in groans ami muttered curses. The next morning the young folks rose early and, with the exception of two of the bologna lunch victims, after a hearty break f ist all started up the peak. After fours of hard climbing they arrived at the summit a 'd were well rewarded for their efforts by a spleudid birds-eye view of the trail they had iu t passed over and the beautiful bunches of luxuriant hunch grass which clustered in vine cla.l clusters about the m mnrain top. After staring vacantly for ti'e hours into a bank of fog, they began th desc.-nt, the monotony of which was broken by two or three of the young ladies f .inting for the want of some chewing guin, ctrload of which had been ordered espec- i!!y for the oacasion but had been forgotten n the excitement of leaving town.

On Wednesday evening the music-loving folk of Corvallis assembled at the opera house for the purpose of enjoying another of Herr Professor A am old's justly cele brated concerts. Not a few in the audience, however, had come partially ont of curios ity to hear and pass judgment noon the work of Mr. Buthyn Turnej', who had been favorably known to all. as an amateur, but who now came before them as a piofesional. Mr. Turney had been absent many months, during which period frequent reports of his hard and successful work had reached the ears of his friends and acquaintances in Corvallis, aud their high expectations were more than realized in the excellent rendi tion of the first number. One's first ip pea ranee professionally at their old home is always p trying occasion, but the tuthu siastic burst of applause which the young artist received as he came on to open the entertainment with a viola solo, must have been au incentive to put forth his lest efforts, and the sense of satisfaction that showed itself'.upim the faces of his listeners when he had done, was no doubt ample re muneration for the effort. Part "a" of this number, "The Bagpipe," had been composed by Mr.. Turney only two weoks prior to its delivery, and while not of a classical nature, a talent for such work aud a familiarity with this favorite Scotch instrument was displayed, that is seldom seen in musicians even tit ripe experience. It was rendered with a clearness and bril liancy of touch that delighted his auditors and showed well the genius of the player. Part "b" was more of a dreamy selection and as the sweet mellow tones of the viola portrayed its tenderness, a breathless still ness pervaded the room until the close of the number, that showed the audience had thoroughly appreciated his effort. This was so enthusiastically received that Mr. Tur ney was compelled to answer an encore. Much has been said ami written regai ding the excellence of Herr Aamold's perfor mance upon the violin, aud each of those who heard him Wednesday night will add their commendation to every sentiment of praise that has been nttered in his favor either by the press or public. His first solo was Vieuxtemps' "Yankee Doodlo" with variations. Its rendition was perfect and the enthusiasm of the audience could only be stopped l-y a second appearance when the artist played a selection that touched the heart of everyone iu the h. use. ITiie grand duo for vioiin aud viola by Herr Aamold and Mr. Turuey was well received and the trio in which they were assisted on the piano by Miss Thompson proved one of the evening's gems, and caused a hearty encore to which they happily responded. The real gem of the program was the Grand Concerto by Herr A m . 1.1. In its rendi tion that delicacy and clearness of technique, aud ringing quality of tone was displayed that is seldom seen in violin artists to such a marked degree.

Miss Oiive Tuoinpsou displayed a great deal of taste aud true musical instinct in the numerous accompaniments she rendered and which added so materially to several of the selections. The fact that mauy of the musically iu cliucd residents of Curvallis were out of town contributed somewhat to the small house that greeted this ' world -renowned performer, but withal the coucert should bave been better patronized. One thing, however, can be said to the credit of the audience: what they lacked in numbers they made up iu appreciation and enthusiasm. 15x20 building over the spring. Recently the old spring petered out, but a new one has been nursed into life about four feet uorth of it. The water is still somewhat murky an.', it is said to l.e as good as tbe water from the old spring. Perhaps another foolish exj endil ure of the people's money will ruin the thing altogether. This the Linn County Heview takes ex- oeption to in the following language: Those who informed the Times of the above "facts" evidently are better acquainted with Sodaville th in men who have lived here by the spring for the past twenty years. It is noticeable iu some people that they can tike ia more in ten minutes regarding any thing of this kind than some people can in twenty years However, we are informed by one of the latter kind that the same soring is in use now that was when he caine 1 ... 1 -11 here twenty years ago. I he spring uuuu i.ig is uot 15x-20 as stated by the above named gentlemen but 30x20 and is a hand some structure. It is uow nearly com pleted aud since putting the solid stone wall around the cistern all the fresh water is shnt nut and this makes the soda stronger than ever before. As for the water being a little murky we will say while they wre putting down the concrete flor they bailed the water ont to nnx the cement with and consequently this made it a little muddy for a bhort time during which period we suppose these- gentlemen were here. If each appropriation would cause the spring to be spoiled as this one has, we say give us au appropriation every day for teu years. Another Runaway Item. We have another runaway item this week. Last Wednesday Lieut. Dentler and Will Bloss drove out to the Gellatly farm with the family team, intending to convey Misses Delia aud Jennie in to the Aamold concert. The farm was reached without incident but when returning to town in the eveuing and while on the Mary's river bridge, imme li atsly west of Philomath, the team became scared at som i horses in the river under the structure, Bnd Will, who was doing the driving, proved incapable of managing the frightened animals which dashed up the road a short distance, overturning the hack and scattering destruction along the road in great shape. Wrhen the team had been stopped an inventory of the damages was made up and is as follows: One wagon tongue broken, one hack spring mortally wounded, one back cover externally injured, one set double harness badly bruised, but will probably recover. Total damage, 50. Besides this Miss Delia received a sprained ankle and wrist anl Will c-rriea his shoul der in a sling. Upon collecting the man gled remains of the hack, the injured ones were-conveyed back to tbe farm, when the Lieutenant was dispatched oa a bicycle for medical aid and the mother of tbe injured young lady. ' As she did not receive the in telligence until a late hour Wednesday night it was impossible for her to leave an til day break the next morning. Later. The injured ones are improriag J aud will be about in a few days. A Queer Proceeding. Some time since a man named EwrDg, living in Clackamas county, addressed a letter to Mr. II. D. McGuire, the otate fish and game protector, complaining that a m.tn named Bradhall was violating the law by throwing sawdust in a stream of run ning water. The facts of the case were in quired into, aud : f ter a thorough investiga tion, Air. McGuire authorized the district attorney of Clackamas county to bring the proper action against the offender. The case was tried, but the justice . discharged the derendant aud taxed all the costs, about $100, to the complaining witness, Mr. Evving, a poor man, who ia uuable to pay them. His home and little tract of land are now threatened unless he liquidates tbe bill of costs. Mr. McGuire has made a statement of the case to Governor Pen- nnyer, who has requested that the matter be presented to him in an official way, wheu he w ill submit it to the attorney- general, and if favorably reported upon, the payment of the costs will be remitted by executive action. It seems that tbe action was commenced on the order of the game and fish pro tector, and the statute, uuder which the prosecution was ordered, expressly states that no costs shall be chargeable to the prosecution. It is claimed that there is no reason why Mr. Ewiug should have been taxed for the costs. Orecrouian. Recent advices indicate that the little green bug has damaged the grain 20 per cent in all fields where it has worked. As uear as can be learned, however, the wheat when threshed will not give any evidence of the bug's ravages. It is plump and will no doubt be up to standard in weight and quality which shows that the damage re -suited in a failure of the heads to fill prop erly. The pst did its work while the grain was in the milk, sapping the entire substaoce frjm the berry and leaving noth ing but the hull, while other grains in the aame head were unmolested and have de veloped a full plump berry. Something like oue-tifth of the berries were sucked of their contents and so far as the bug did its work, a total loss is the consequence. On the oats, however, a slight - loss in weightas well as in yield Jwill be sus tained. Mauy shriveled grains being no A small farm for sale or rent. this office soon.

Wimer, who has been engaged iii.the hardware business at Stiyton, Ma rion c-mity, during the past three years, made Corvallis a visit the first of the week. Mr. Wimer will be remembered by many oldtimers from his connection with the King's Valley uristmill as far btck as 18G6. Some years later he moved to the Rogue River valley where he resided uutil coining to Staj'l on. Two hundred persons from Albany, Cor yallis and bay ward points, took advantage of the excursion and filled themselves to their hearts' content last Sunday with fresh ocean ozone, inis was the oeso patnnnzea excursion of the season aud mauy . are anxiously awaiting for the next one, that they may have an opportunity of spending a few hours at the coast fur the nominal expense of only 1 50. We are informed by a Southern Pacific employe, that Corvallis i3 the only point on the west side road to which a threshing ma chine has been shipped this season. Within the past two weeks three of these machines have been secured for farmers in Ben tun county a county in which crops have nev r been known to fail and where farmers re ceive more for their grain than at any other point in the state outside of Portland. There arrived in this city last Saturday, Patrick Callahan, who was thought to have been dead for many years. He was a resident of Albany but left there early in the 70's, going ti Southern Oregon. He finally drifted into Idaho where it was re ported he had been killed. He is the father of Thomas Callahan of this city, whom he came here to see. loinmy is with a camping party at the Yachats, and the old gentleman has gone over to give him a surprise. Owing to an accident that happened to her machinery on leaving Portland, the Fteamer Eugene did not arrive here uutil 10:30 Tuesday night. Her cargo was uu usually light, consisting of only two tons of miscellaneous merchandise for Corvallis an.l Monroe. Wednesday morning at 3 o'clock ehe left on her return trip. The water has now reached a stage which makes naviga tion extremely difficult and should it fall a few inches more, it is altogether probable that river transportation will be abandoned for the summer. The party that ascended Mary's peak last Saturday, did uot fulfil their promise to illuminate that lofty knoll. They had, with wonderful foresight, provided them selves with a quantity of Hamilton's red fire, but here their foresight seems to have been exhausted, for they neglected to bring the mirrors that were to serve as reflectors, and as a. consequeuce the illumination was a la Mt. Hood. If the number of jobs sent out by the Carriage company during the past two days of the week, be taken as au index to their general trade, the volume of business trans acted is certainly encouraging. On Mon day four rigs were shipped to Portland and on Tuesday a partial order was shipped overland to Stewart & Sox, Albany, and consisted of five buggies and one phreton. The same day orders were received from Halsey for a bngy and a three seated moun tain wagon; from floseburg for two rigs and for one job to be shipped to Portland. Should business increase, it is not at all im probable that the present force will be ma terially increased at a date not far distant. J. C. Mohr, who a number of weeks ago was one of the principals iu a spirited run away in which his team was drowned Jaud he was carried off the field with several damaged ribs, was an interested spectator to a one-horje entertainment that took place last Saturday. His trotter became frightened and dashed down Main street at a rate that put to shame all previous efforts on the race track. What was done; what to do? A glance told Mohr both, and mounting a dry goods box, he proceeded to auction off the rapidly disappearing horse and buggy.

Mr. Daly left yesterday for Toledo aud i 1 re turn next Wednesday. Bert v"an Cleve has our thanks for an item. He made a martyr of himself in do ing it,, and his efforts should be thoroughly appreciated by newspaper men who give the affair auy space. While at Toledo last Sunday he borrowed (?) a bicycle and under took to ride it to Newport. Unfortunately for Brt the animal did uot have a blind bridle on, and in rounding one of the nu merous sharp curves on the road, got a glimpse of its rider's- face. This was too much, and driven to desperation by the sight of its load, proceeded to dump it off at the nearest high embankment. The bi cycle is now in the hospital under the care of a physician and Bert carrie his arm in a sling. Caleb Davis and Albert Weaver added auother plume to their already well-feathered caps, last Sunday, when they covered the 112 miles that measure the distance from this city to Finley springs and return. Sixty miles of this distance lie in the heart of the Cascades, and a hard old heart it is too. They left here at 3 a. m., and at 10 o'clock the 250 campers, who occupy the 43 tents at Finley Springs, were giving them a haarty welcome, and asking them- to come to Sunday school; an invitation which they gracefully accepted. Tbey left the springs at 1 o'clock, and after paying Waterloo and Sodaville a visit, arrived home at ten in the evening. Business with the ccunty officials nppears to be as dull as it is with the merchants. During nine days in July, Keoorder Wat ters says that not a single instrument was left with hiin for record and the total amount of fees collected by him for the county was only $36.30 for the month. This, however, is- a better showing in pro portion to his-services than was made by the clerk or Bueriff during the same period. Tbe amount collected by the former aggre gates in the neighborhood of $30, while less than 50 was collectedby the sheriff. The smallness of the amount turned over by the two latter officials, however,, can be ac counted for from the fact,- that at this season- of the year little or no litigation is being:,-done, while later on business in thu Ime will increase materially, and in the course ot a year will no doubt prove more than-self-sustaining. . . . .

Samuel Smith 1 50 1 60 2 00 The Imperial folks have for some time been considering the matter of making a bicycle exhibit at the state fair this fall. They have decided to make the exhibit, which will be iu charge of C. M Loekwood, their Salem agent. This exhibit will be in the pavilion and there will be no question but it will be an interesting one, showing the evolution of the wheel in Salem from Ben Taylor's old home-made very 'ordi nary" to the old "Star" and "Ordinary," and through all th6 stages of development from the old "Safety" of narrow rim and tire to and through the broad cushion tire up to the pueumatic tired model of 1S94. It i3 thought the enterprise of one bicycle company will prove a stimulus to other dealers and manufacturers. Such be -iug the ca3e there is no doubt but one en tire section of the rearranged pavilion will be devoted to wheels. This will be very appropos, inasmuch as arrangements are uow under way for a series nf bicycle races every day during the week of the fair. Statesman. THE WEAKEST SPOT m your w Hole system, perhaps., is the liver. If that doesn' t do its work of ouri- fying th3 blood, more troubles come from it thou you can re- rneruDar. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery acta npon this weak spot as nothing else can. It rouses it tip to healthy, natural action. By thoroughly purifying the blood, it reaches, builds up, and invigorates every part of the system. For all diseases that depend on the liver or the blood Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Bilious ness ; every form of Scrofula, even Con sumption (or Lung-scrofula) in its earlier stages; and tbe most stubborn Skin and Scalp Diseases, tbe " Discovery " is the only remedy so unfailing and effective that it can be guaranteed. If it doesn't benefit or cure, you have your money back. On these terms, it's an insult to yoaf In telligence to have something else offered as "just as good." . For Sale. Morehead, i W...
