THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY AUGUST 10 1894.
TRtP TO BELKNAP SPRINGS
Described by Conover and his
Man Friday who Accom
panied Him.
A week ago last Tuesday Mr. Conover of
the Gazette left oa a bicycle for a few
uViys outing in the Cascades. He was fol
lowed on the evening of his departure by
'.Vili II. Bloss who overtook him the uext
'.jiy at Eugene, from whence the pair made
he trip together, lhey returned Monday
aftertnon and give au account of their trip
something as follow s:
Frank departed at 3 p. ra. expecting to
j in a party of friends at Eugene who were
going to Belknap springs. AU went well
with him until he reached Junction where,
in somq 37ysteiiou&; way, he sprained his
Jrg, which necessitated a stop. No ambu
lance corps had been provided for tlie trip,
iv he sought quarters and homeopathic
treatment at a friendly fanner's house near
by where the injured lin.b was properly
"'jindagod and given a srenerou? dose of horse
Jinviisnt and wizzard oil. The treatment
received here proved so effective that in the
m truing the strained leg was able to do
duty and Eugene was reached before noon
without further mishap. Will started
alvint 9 o'elock. Tuesday evening, but on
account of rain the traveling was had and
was impelled to stop in Monroe over
n m Lt. In the morning the journey was re
S'i:.ied, but when a few miles out of town
he had th'i misfortune to break the chain on
his bicycle, which he was compelled to lead
as far us 'Junction where the train was
t ikea for Eugene. Here it was learned that
thi party of friends, which they had ex
pected to meet bad gone on the day previ
ous. S Frank and bis man Friday (we
have dubbol Will as Friday because he
noted as private secretary, stenographer,
-awe and general utility man to Frank)
';ft early next morning and breakfasted at
Thurston. Here they passed Prof. Bristow
an t famil and A. W. Rose who were
bound for Belknap.
As Thurston boasted of a postoffioe and a
daily service with Eugene, Friday was in
structed to write a postal to Mrs. Conover
laden with messages of love and assurances
of constancy and undying devotion. This
is said Sn he characteristic of married" men
when many miles from home.
Not f;ir distant from the postoffice Hen-dH.L-ii"'
ferry was crossed, when the ferrj
)an informed the pair that a party of ten
v.'het !mn from Eugene a portion of whom,
by the way. were ladies were only a short
distance . ahead. The fact that ladies were
known to be ahead served as an incentive
for the boys to pnt forth their best energies
in order to overtake them. Frank's leg
Btii! gave him some pain but he would not
outdone by Friday and the noon hour
t fou.id them at Finuis hotel, thirty miles
from Eugene, which, considering the time
employed and the rough condition of the
road, was good riding. After par taking of
a most exoelieut maa.1, to which eaci did
ample justice, the party pulled out for Blue
riv;, reaching there at 4 p. m. where they
o vertook the party of friends from Eugene.
ExceiSeut accommodations were had here
t.t Smith's place, which is headquarters for
miners and prospectors-ic the Biue River
iiiiues. At the summit of the mountain six
mii'ja from Smith's the main quartz mining
is done. Frank spent a few, hours that
evening !iJiiug but nmk with poor success.
He was repaid for his walk, however, by
watching numerous prospectors at wink
piuningout gold. In the inoruiag he bor
rowed a pair of old overalls and shoes and
went up the river fishing in company with
four Eugene gentlemen, tha net catch for
the party being sigLity-threcv A mile out
f-om the hotel a prospector was discovered
clearing uu a two days' work which netted
him 323 iu dust and nuggets. Each of the
p;u-y took a turn with the pan and one re
alyzed about sixty cents in gold dust for
h:.i trouble. Not cariug to Bub, Friday
spent tha day at Foley springs and over
t'i.'t.hi3 mister at Porter's place the uext
irorojug where au excellent breakfast was
L:uL'
Fr.im Powers to Belknap' company that
r.i.le a lil;es wheel was had. This parfcoif
the story ia clothed in a deep dark mystery
that is unfathomable and whether this com
prny was a mile or a female, is a mattor of
conjectnre. All that c ulT be learned was
thit i-h4 bfl-mtiful dark hair and eyes
and bo'h escorts were .-.ssiduous in their
ntl'-r.t.i.-ms with Friday a trifle in the lead,
The first persons to greet them on arrival
was I'rof. Bristow and family, A. W. Rose
and George Taylor, who had reached the
springs the fnight before and were busily
engaged iu arranging their camp for a long
itty.- The acquaintance of A. P. Ostrander,
t'l genial hotel proprietor at, the springs,
was 30011 made, who showed the pair many
courtesies during their short stop at his
excelleut hostlery. A visit to the aprii'gs,
which have become justly famous, on ac
count of the health-giving qualities of the
water, wa3 the first thing on the program
The" water boils out of a mountain, 45Q9
f. . t in hight; in great quantities and at a
temperature; of- 180' degrees. From, the
spring it is conveyed to the- hotel and hath
houses by means of wooden, pipes;. The
use of wooden pipes was inaugurated some
time ago and after several unsuccessful
attempts to mso iron piping, whichj it was
discovered, was eaten away by the action
of chemicals contained in the water. A
c.'cBular thing about this place is the pres
ence of a hole about three feet s uare and
only a short distance from where the water
bnh'jlea forth at a temperature of 180
degrees, from whence issues a strong cur
ler, t of cold air. Prot Condon's theory of
tiiis phenomena is that the mountain con
taics large caves connected by small pas
sage ways and the air,' which is received
aaoot tbree and one-half miles distant from
the hole, is forced through these narrow
pasiHges to its outlet, thus cooling the air
?nd at the same time giving increased force
is the curreut as it leaves tha . aperatare
near the Bpring.
Belknap springs are located sixty miles
s;.at of Eugene on the McKenzie river.
The water is taken internally or used for
Whs and its curative powers are unsur
passed. This popular mountain resort is
situated at an elevation of 2000 feet in the
bjart of the Cascade range. Fish and
Same are abundant and those who desire a
summer outing can make no better selection
than Belknap springs.
That enthusiastic sportsman, Prof. Bris
tow induced Frank to take a few hour's fish
with him about three and one-half miles np
the river. They were fairly successful and
the excellent supper they enjoyed at camp
that evening consisted, among other deli
cacies, of a bountiful supply of trout pre-
pared by Mrs. Bristow and her charming
daughter. On returning from the fishing
excursion they met the party consisting of
M. P. Burnett and wife, Mrs. C. H. Whit
ney, Miss Addie Schmidt, Henry Wortham
and ilobert Johnson who arrived that after
noon from the valley in a condition much
the worse for wear. Bob was madder than
a hot-hsaded5. hornet. He had lost his bed
ding aud wardrobe on. the trip and was giv
ing vent to his feelings by the aid of a
vocabulary of cuss words copyrighted and
exclusively used by himself, when camping.
Iu the evening Conover took a full course
of hot baths five in number aud says for
medicinal purposes the water is nnequaled,
and as a cleanser and purifier of the skin it
ia absolutely unexcelled. No soap is re
quired aud after a liberal use of the water
the skin is left perfectly clean and free from
tan. Th'se who deplore the appearance of
freckles, sunburn, tan, etc., should not' fail
to bathe in the waters of this great com
plexion restorer.
The hotel proprietor at the springs is an
old friend of Leo Gerhart's and had received
from him a large demijohn of kind regards.
About 12 o'clock the "regards" were car
ried into the parlor where several of the
truesta, including Conover, had assembled
to participate in the festivities of the hour
and at the same tinst sample the "regirds."
During the next two kours it was one con
tinuous round of pleasure iu which the
principal pleasure was that of sampling the
regards. Frank says he thinks Leo's "re
gards" resemble in outward appearance and
inward effect a certain brand of burbon
whiskey kept for 8 de at" The Leo."
Frid vvdidn't-care to fish so rode down to
Powers' place wiih the "dark haired com
pany" and remained duiintr the day. Me
was overtaken- here-the next morning by
Conover, who had ridden from the springs,
a distance of six miles in twenty minutes.
At 9 o'clock they started for home, reaching
Pipuio'i's place for dinner aud a farm house a
short distance east of Eugene in time for
supper. Breakfast was taken Monday
morning at Engen-jf .dinner, at Junction and
at 5:30, after riding from Monroe against a
strong head wind, the pair reached Cor
vallis. Although the roads are rough for wheel
ing, they claim to have found them in a
better condition than was expected. The
upper portion of the distance is over a toll
road which has not been worked as it should
have been and residents of the valley are
very much aggravated on account of it;
Tue failure of the Friendly mills at this
place has been seriously felt by people along
the McKenzie, an many of thein depended
largely upon, 'the employment furnished in
getting out the logs for their support.
Farmera all along the river take a great
deal of interest in their places. As a rule
the residences and out buildings are in good
repair and present a thrifty appearance.
The many fruit orchards of that section are
looking exceptionality well and prospects
for bountiful crops were never better.
Lack of space prevented the pnblicatiou
of this article iu the last week's issue.
Improvements at' the College.
A busier scene than that presented at the
mechanical hall of the college this week
would be hard to find. The new 40-horse
power engine to be used in driving the
extensive machinery of the mechanical
department, arrived by the last steamer
from San Francisco, and is being placed into
position. It will stand at right angles to
the one ia use heretofore, which has been
removed on account of its insufficient power.
The new engine will drive a jack shaft 20
feet in length which is connected with a
line shaft 95 feet long, that extends from
the engine room along the ceiling of , the
new building into the front room at the
right of the main entrance, where the print
ing department, under charge of H. R.
Clark, will be located. fAll the iron-working
machinery, including the- new planer aud
milling machine, will be pluced in the large
room immediately west of the printing
office. That part of the building immedi
ately .above the machinery hall, and hereto
fore used as a gymnasium, will in the future
be known as the wood-working department,
all the machinery for that purpose having
been removed from the old room in the
brick building which will hereafter be nsed
as a storeroom for lumber.
In the past there has been some little
inconvenience occasioned through a lack of
space in the blacksmithing department, but
this will be- entirely obviated by the remov
al of the brick partition between the shop
and engine-room,, which change is being
made this week. By this arrangement
sufficient additional space will be gained for
all present need. Besides this a new
cement floor is being laid, and when the ten
new forges, have been placed in position in
the already well equipped department, the
college will have a blacksmith shop, which,
in all its details, will compare favorably
with that of any college in the country.
The room heretofore nsed for iron-working
purposes will be known as the engine and
dynamo room, and will contain only the
engine, dynamo, and electric lighting-apparatus,
which have been rearranged and
placed on large cement blocks recently
bnilt for that purpose. The work, which
probably will not be completed before the
middle of September, is being superintended
by Prof. G: A. CovelL

' A wire from San Francisco under date of
the 8th inst. statear '"U. S. District Judge
Morrow issued an order today commanding
the United States Marshal to sell the steam
er Willamette Valley, to satisfy a claim of
R. D. Chandler for coal furnished' her own
ers, the Oregon Development Company
The order is made under a libel filed against
the steamer December 19 last. The steamer
is lying in the stream here uncared for. and
Judge Morrow decided that it would be
injurious feJ the property to longer keep the
vessel in the hands of the receiver, Charles
Clark".
Jo an interview with Receiver- Clark
ragardiug-'tha foregoing dispatch, he said:
"At the time 1 was appointed receiver in
January last, the 'steamer Willamette Val
ley was in the custody of'' the officers of the
law in Sa Francisco, the result of proceed
ings instituted in both the state and federal
courts. This steamer v seized during
Mr. Hadley's administration, and by direc
tion of the circuit court of this district I
was authorized to contest these various
claims in the conrts of California. J. learned
from my attorneys. Page, Ellis & Wheeler,
that the court had ordered the sale of the
Willamette Valley prior to seeing the dis.
patch referred to. I feel bound to contest
this matter in the-appellate court.! I have
never had control of the steamer onTy in
contemplation of law as part of the property
supposed to belong to the receiver. Some
half a dozen different causes- are pending in
the California courts against the vessel and
the rival claimants are doubtless as much
interested in the recent actior. of the-court
there, iu ordering the sale, as the receiver.
This steamer, as you kuow, had been used
during the Hogg, and most of the Hadley,
administration, in the carrying trade be
tween San Francisco and Yaquina. Finan
cially it has been advantageous to this
receiver that the steamer was seized before
my apprvintmeat,. as it would haver entailed
great expense on the part of the receivership
in operating her. What the ultimatum will
be is of course involved in doubt. My
advisers have led me to believe that it was
part and parcel of the property that should
have come into my hands as receiver, and
that the tact of her being seized, while iu
the carrying trade, in another jurisdiction
would not prevail against the rights of the
receiver, to her custody. She was in the
actual control and possession o. Receiver
Hadley at the time of her seizure and it
would seem reasonable that the doctrine of
comity between courts would restore- her at
once to the receiver's possession. Any
other view than this would? make it a sui
cide for a receiver to allow property iohis
possession, although-used as-a public carrier,
to be carried into the jurisdiction of another
oourt. - The steamer was released from the
custody of the sheriff about a month ago,
and was immediately seized by the U. S.
marshal, since which time- she ha been in
his possession. All the carrying: trade dur
ing my administration has-. been done by the
steamers Homer and Scotia, which are
operated with comparatively smal expense
as compared to that in' operating the Wil
lamette Valley."
In conclusion he- remarked that "the
editorial criticism in the- Oregon ian during
the recent strike regarding the governor!
and militia, of California could wittv equal
propriety be made about tfie conrts of that
state." ;

BOTE ARE NOW SCOT FEEE.
Through a Hole in the Floor
Scott and Hall Gain
their Liberty.
Ed Scott and George Hall, who have been
confined in the Beaton-county jail daring
the past two months, broke ont again last
Friday and are still at large.. The jail is an
old affair, haviag done duty for over thirty
years. It is provided with three steel-lined
cells at the rear,, in which the prisoners were
confined during the night. Adjoining these
cells,, and in the front part of the building,
is a large room with a board floor having no
metal protection. Owing to the extreme
heat and the poor sanitary condition of the
structure,, the pair, were allowed to occupy
this room daring the day time. By the aid
of a small saw, a hole was cat through the
'3J inches-, of flooring, sufficiently large to
-permit them to reach the ground below.
Thie once accomplished it was only necessa
ry to await a favorable opportunity in-order
to effect an escape. Friday night about
dusk they were seen crawling from under
the building, and, after a hasty consulta
tion, Hall started on a run to the north part
of town, while Scott mounted a horse that
had been tied at the rear of the courthouse
yard, and left on a gallop-toward his father's
home, about two miles south west of the city
limits. The sheriff was at once notified,
and within ten minutes a posse was in hot
pursuit, but so far have been unsuccessful
in locating their whereabouts.
Scott is a desperate local character, and
ha) given the officers a great deal of trouble.
While under arrest the 4th of last June for
some municipal oftUnse he attempted the
life of Otficer McLagan, and after a fusilade,
in which 20 shots were exchanged, the cul
prit was captured and bound over to await
the action of the grand jury. About a
mouth ago he and Hall, who was being beld
for burglary, broke out by cnttiug;away a
piece of the front door of the jaiL They
escaped to the hills several miles from town,
but were recaptured without much difficul
ty. Sheritf Osburn says thai, at two or
three different times he called the attention
of the county court to the unsafe condition
of the jail, aud asked permission to take
Scott to Eugene for safe keeping, but was
refused. A watchman, who he had provided
to guard the jail during Scott's confinement,
was discharged at the last seasiou of the
county court, siuce which time no one has
been about the building, except to take the
prisonbi-s their meals Their intention to
escape had been anticipated by the sheriff,
aud the interior of the jail was examined
carefully each day iu order to discover any
attempt they might be making toward gain
ing their freedom, but the prisoners had so
carefully concealed their work that it
escaped detection.
Scott has Beet; under the care of Dr. C.
H. Lee for sointime, who- says that the
patient is iu a serious condition. His trou
ble seems to be that of consumption and
the damp air of the rear cells was causing
him to grow rauidiy worse.. This was oue
of the reasons for allowing him to occupy
the frouc room of the jail during the day
time. Scott's confinement has caused him
to lose fleali aud bleach his complexion until
uow he presents an appearance that is
almost ghastly. He is very weak,.and the
violent exercise and exposure, together with
the nervous strain attendant upon bis
escape aud evasion of capture, will in all
probability bring a severe illness from which
recovery will be extremely doubtful.
Scott presents a delicate, sickly appear
ance. He is about 5 feet 10 inches iu height,
and is of slim build; is- of a dark, complex
ion, and wears a small dark mustache. He
is 23 years of age and has a scar on the left
side of his upper lip, besides several others
on his Bcalp.
Hall is 23 years of age, has a light com
plexiou and blue eyes; is of slim build, aud
stands 6 feet high, aud is smooth shaven.
He was born and raised near Portland.
When last seen he was without hat oi coat
and was making his way toward Albany.
Brace the Nerves.
Sedatives and optetes won't do it. These
nervines do not make the nerves strong, and
failing to do this fall short of producing the
essential of their quietude vigor. And
while in extreme cases and these only of
nervous irritation such drugs may be advis
able, their frequent use is highly prejudicial
to the delicate organism upon which they
act, and in order to renew, their quieting
effect increased and dangerous doses event
ually become necessary. Hustetters Stomach
Bitters is an effcient substitute for such per
nicious drugs. It quiets the nerves by brac
ing, toning, strengthening them. The con
nection between weakness of the nervous
system and that of the oreans of digestion is
a strong and sympathetic link. The Bitters,
by imparting a healthful impulse to the di
gestive and assimilating functions, promotes
tnrougnout the wnoie system a vigor in
which the nerves come in lor a large share,
Use the Bitters in malaria, constipation,. bil
lious and kidney trouble.

The Colonel's Predicament
The other morning while the- Gazettb
man was sitting in his sanctum feeling for a
new place to scratch for an idea, he was
startled by loud, knocks and mysterious
noises that issued from some place near at
hand. After several vain attempts to locate
the disturbance,, the scribe returned to his
den- and' went gunning strain for ideas.
. Finally the noise ceased. This was the lull
before the storm. Presently a shadowy
form was seen meandering around on the
tin roof just opposite the reporter's window.
It gamboled up to the front of the building,
and,, craning its head up over the high brick
wall at the front of the structure, gazed
down into- the street below. Sighting a
couple of boy son the pavement across the
street, it opened Up conversation:. "Oh,
yes I. Fine day! I am Col. Kelsay. Where
is Will Yates? He locked me in. Yes,
yes!"" The Colonel's inquiries met with
loud guffaws from the boys and' a pressing
invitation to "Come off the roof." While
this was going on the scribe was assisting
the Colonel to amuse the boys by tying and
untying his serpentine form in half-hitches
aud hangm u's knots, so highly amused was
he at the Colonel's discomfiture. While
the boys could see him the Colonel could
not. "Yes, yes! That's right, boys, send
Yates up here! . I -.u:t tose;him. Impor
tant business! Oh, yes!" "Tell the duffer
next door to let you in the window," said
the boys, and they recalled to the Colonel
his Iudian war days, by executing a good
immitation of the muscle dance, punctuate!
with ydls of laughter that drew a crowd to.
the scene, which, on learning the cause of
the hilarity, joined in the festivities. But
theJColonel was making use of the hint giv
en him to eseape-ttir:.t!gli the window into
the reporter's den; and as his feet disap
peared over the window-sill the crowd chose
partners for the merry-making and hugged
each other to think they had a joke on Col.
Kelsay. The Colouel's advent into the
reporter's asylum of refuge was met with
the scribe's usual coy and wiusome manner.
"Fine day," the Judge began, "Yea, yea!
Went into Will Yates' ffiee this morning
Fine boy, fine boy by-the way, don't you
see!" The scribe was just massing his
forces for a reply, when the Colonel pro
ceeded: "Was looking up adiitle oleaudaw,
don't you see!" Yes, indeed! A good library
in there don't yon know! Just got interested
in a c.ise in 10th Oregon, don't you see!
Will went off aud locked me in. Dim care
less fellow'. Oh, yes! Kuow him well; yes,
indeed." After receiving some statistics on
the demoralizing influence of swear words,
the Judge continued: "Pretty spry for an
old man! Oh, yes! Handle a dumb-bell
like a youngster. Yes, yel Ask Jim
Fiett Jim will tell you the same thing.
Flue box , Jim. Oh, yes." Having thanked
the mau with, the peueil for his v tluable
services, the Colonel departed. A few
minutes later he buttonholed Will Yates on
a street corner and Will had to bring into
play all the tricks he had acquired in his
years of practice, to convince the Colouel
that he was innocent of the charge of having
perpetrated a joke upon him.
; Inspecting Orchards.
C. L. Dailey, of Salem, representing R.
Allen, commissioner of the second horticul
tural district lias been busily engaged dur
ing the past week iu inspecting orchards
around Corvallis. Ho expresses himself as
being pleased at the interest manifested in
the fruit business iu this vicinity and claim
to have found some magnificent orchards.
The one that particularly struck his fancy
was the Benton Conunty Prune company's
orchard jfist uertkof town. This was the
largest one he had visited on the trip. It
was well cared for and the trees were iu ex
cellent condition. Mr. Dailey finds that
the trees in this vicinity are fully up to the
standard of those throughout the district,
which takes in Marion, Polk, Lane;. Linn
and Benton counties. Owing to frosts and
rainy weather ivhile the Italian prune was
pollenizing and setting its fruit, there will
be a amall csop-of this favorite variety this
season; but the Petite and Silver prune each
give promise of an abundant yield. Mr.
Dailey noticed that there was an unusual
light acreage- of new orchards throughout
the district and that of the varieties planted
the apple is far in the lead.
Wednesday afternoon in company with
George Waggoner ajid J. R. Maakley, Mr.
Dailey drove to-the Bellfouotaine neighbor
hood, where he intended inspecting tKo-or
charda of the Excelsior Fruit company and
the Bellfouotaine Prune company. The
Excelsior orchard is Baid to be the largest
one in the state comprising 200 acres on
which is planted 22,000 Italian prunes. Of
this number one half were planted this sea
son and the other 11,000 a year ago. The
other orchard is located not far distant and
its 175 acres are planted about equally to
prunes, apples and pears
