On this account Mr. Emrick deemed it advisable to move there with his family as in that way the boy would not be denied the comforts of home. A Siletz correspondent of the. Lincoln Leader says that Mr. Rakestraw, the school sapervisor, arrived here on Sunday List, and on Monday called a council with the Indi ans on the school question. He found that there had been some complaint against the superintendent, Mr. Myers, so he told the Indians that he would fix it all right. Mr. Rakestraw was very much pleased with the way the school is conducted. After inquiry among the Indians who are acquainted with the school he found it to be in better shape than ever it was, The spell has at last been broken. For several weeks Clerk Hunter has been some what fearful lest an anti-marriage associa- " tion existed m the community, that had threatened matrimonial candidates with durance vile, should any such dare procure marriage liceuse. The reason for such con clusion is due to the fact that since Decem ber 20th no applications for marriage licenses have been made, while prior to that time they were frequent occurences. The ice at last, however, has been broken, and Jan- vary 17th a license, was issued, authorizing the marriage of C. J. Wheeler and Annie K Wheeler.

By his close application to business and courteous treat ment of all with whom he came in contact, Mr. Gleim has made many warm friends in Corvallis who will regret to hear of his departure. Last Saturday, says the Lincoln Leader, this bay witnessed the highest tide for years. Logs that had been lying on the tideland immovable for years were floating around. The water overflowed the dykes, breaking them in various places, and doing much damage. Tillotson brothers lost about thirty head of sheep that' were run ning on the tideland. At Elk City the out going cnrrent was so strong as to wash out the bridge. It floated down till opposite Depot slough when the wind blew it up the slough, landing it at Jones' wharf where it was secured by Ben Jones. This is indeed a big loss to Elk City. Saturday afternoon in the Catholic ceme tery occurred the interment of all that was martal of Mrs. Amelia Stettler, whose death accurred Friday morning, the result of an illness which began fonr months pre -vious, with the birth of her youngest child. Mrs. Stettler at the time ot liar demise was 28 years, 3 months and 3 days old, and was the youngest daughter of Adam Bumbarger. She is survived by a father, mother, one brother, two sisters, a husband and three children, the latter being aged respectively four years, two years, aad four months, The funeral services occurred at the Catholic church, father Yuerek officiating, and were largely attended. Tuesday's Oregonian announced that Uovernor JUord baa recalled the nomina tions of regents for the state agricultural college recently sent by ex-Goveraor Pen nover to the senate for confirmation. Dui- iug the afternoon, a petition was circulated about town asking for the appointment of Hun. Thos. H. Cooper to fill one of the v cames. Mr. Cooper is a prosperous farmer and might make a good regent, but the Alumni association of the college desire one of their members appointed, and, it is said, will oppose the appointment of Mr. Cooper. ine member trom this comity whr.se name was recalled is John M. Osburot appointed July 11, 1894. - frank Marshall, of Albany, was ex amined before Justice Holgate Tuesday af ternoon on a charge of indecent exposure of person, preferred by Frank Thorp, of Fair mount precinct. Two little school children testified as to the crime being committed. nd identified Marshall as the man. The defense offered ho testimony and Marshall was committed to j ill in default of $500 bail. The defendant had just served a ten days' sentence in. Albany jil for assaulting a lady school teacher when arrested and is evidently a bad one. He has frequently annoyed the people of Fairir.ount precinct with such acts and will no doubt receive a heavy anl merited sentence. E. E. Wilson represented the prisoner and W. E. Yates appeared for the state. Captain Bert Hatch arrived down the river Tuesday night with the snag-pullar Corvallis. The day previous, while re moving some obstacles to navigation in the vicinity of Peoria, the Corvallis ran on a snag, and, but lor the forethought aad prompt action of Caprain Hatch in beach ing her, the steamer would have, sunk in 20 feet of water. After running her aground, the assistance of farmers in the neighbor hoed was secured in bailing out the vessel's hold: This accom plished, a soft patch was placed ever the aperture, which prevented the leakage sufficient to enable the boat to reach Corvallis, where the necessary repairs will be made to the hull at once. When re paired, the steamer will again resume work on the upper river. . ' A splendid specimen of a gray eagle, measuring eight feet, two inches, from tip to tip, was shot a few days ago by Caleb A. Davis on his father's farm three miles north of town. The specimen was mounted by M. H. Kriebel and now occupies a prominent position over the door to our sanctum. It is a female bird and said to be one of the largest ones ever seen in this lo cality. In preparing it, Mr. Kriebel has displayed a deal of artistic taste and famil iarity with the bird's habits, it being mounted in a flying attitude, with wings extended. During the season, Mr. Kriebel has prepared 26 China pheasants, which' have met with ready sale to traveling men and residents of this city, who have sent them to friends in the East. Among the purchasers was W. S. McFadden, who sent two of these beautiful birds to Judge Lind sey, at Pittsburg, Pa. Judge Lindsey will be remembered by Corvallisites as the gen tlemanvho visited Mayor McFadden a few da; s last spring. SKATING CARNIVAL.

An old saying, "The third time is . the charm," has proven true with reference to the Oregon Pacific sales. Although offered by the sheriff at eight different times, only three bids have been made. The last one, made Dec. 22nd, by Bonner & Hammond, was accepted last Saturday by Judge Ful lerton. January 4th the court convened in special session, at which time objections to confirmation were presented. Final action in the matter was then postponed until Jan uary 19th, at the earnest solicitation of Attorney Wallis Nash, representing a syn dicate of English capitalists who proposed to deposit $50,tKX) with the court as a guaran tee that $200,000 or more would be offered by them at a resale. When the proposition was offered Mr. Nash confidently expected to be in a position to make the necessary deposit last Saturday, but owing to brief time and severe storms on the Atlantic, which delayed the mails, ha was unable to do so. Objections to confirmation were, filed by Attorneys Nash and Watson alleging princi pally inadequacy of price. Judge Burnett, on behalf of the purchasers, argued forcibly against thsir right to file objections, claim ing that the time for so doing had elapsed. The cosrt, however, allowed the objections to be filed and read the following telegrams that day received from parties in New York: "Hon. Judge Fullerton, Corvallis: Re sale, associates offer upwards $200,000 for Oregon Pacific (Signed) Samusl R. McLain.'V Another, signed Thomas White, Brook lyn, N. Y., read: "Holding Oregon Pacific bonds to a large amount, I trnst the court will not extin guuh .all hope of any recovery by confirm -ing the sale of the road at the nominal price of $100,000, for the emolument of greedy speculators aud the impoverishment of hon est investors." The third one was signed by Butler, Stillmau, Stillman & Hubbard, and read: "Just received for holders receiver's cer tificates of Oregon Pacific railroad company issued under order of 'your court of Oct. 2S, 1890, our client, London, Liverpool & Globe Insurance Company, has just learned road sold and that order confirmation to be asked today, without providing protection to these certificates. Usual practice in order of railroad sale is to make upset price to cover court's expenses, including receiver's certificate. If sale order here did not so provide, ws respectfully ask confirmation be refused or adjourned sufficiently to en able holders certificates to oppose confirma tion. Order makes them firs lien and we ask that they be protected by court or sale." These telegrams nor the earnest pleadings of attorneys against confirmation, ap parently had no effect with the court. He seemed to fully realize the situation and felt that farther delay might bring disas ter. In concluding his remarks, the judge stated that: "Mr. Clark, " the receiver, hao informed me that the road will no longer pay runniug expenses and that during the month " of December it had run behind. While there may be something in the objec tions just filed, I do not think it would be advisable to postpone the order of confir mation or order a resale, and will therefore order the sale to Bonner & Hammond con firmed." With this announcement, which divorced the road from the court's control, the judge breathed a' sigh 'of relief and brought forth a round of applause from the numerous spectators. Steps were at ouce taken to appeal the case to the supreme court aud notice, of ap peal was served on the several parties inter ested during the afternoon. There are two notices. ' The first is signed Uy C. C. , Hogue, Jim Westfall, H. F. Merrill and C. 0. Hogue, trustee, with Kelley and Curl, attorneys;' the second notice is signed by The Dunham, Carrigan, Hayden Co., Stan-' ford Benuett, E. C. McShane, . F. Cleary, Thomas Pavy, W. M. Hoag aud Wallis Nash, with Wallis Nash, attorney. Whether it is the intention of these parties to actually carry the matter to the supreme court is a matter of conjecture. Some ex press the opinion that this action was taken solely in the hopes of deterring Judge Ful lerton from confirming the sale, "as the no tices were really served before, his decision was announced, while others maintain they have a good case aadexpect to appeal. As the appellants will .have everything to gain and will be out only the costs, it is very probable that the end is not yet. It is generally supposed that if the appeal is taken no attempt will be made to "stay proceedings," as such a course woald neces sitate the giving of a large indemnity bond, while, otherwise, ouly a small bond suffi cient to cover costs will be necessary. The Oregon Pacific went into the hands of the court October 26, 1890. During this time Colonel T. Egenton Hogg, E. W. Had- ley and Charles Clark have presided . over the destinies of the property with varying success. . Eight different times it has been offered for sale by the sheriff and only three bids made. At no sale was there any com petition in the bidding. Colonel Hogg bid $1,000,000, and failing to complete the pur chase, forfeited $25,000 and the sale was set aside. The Blair- Wharton faction . bid $200,000 and the sale was set aside. Lastly, Bonner & Hammond took the road for $100,000. The proceeds of the sale will be applied, first, to the court expenses, which are estimated at $15,000; next, to the pay ment of delinquent taxes, aggregating in the neighborhood of $60,000. There is in the neighborhood of $10,090 in -receiver's certificates, issued under the Hadley admin istration, for insurance, which were given priority of payment. This last item may be contested, but local attorneys are of the opinion that it will be impossible to defeat their ' rjrioritv. This will leave about $15,000 to discharge $1,250,000 of obliga tions contracted while the road was in 'the court's hands. AU parties in interest will probably contest for priority of payments, Immediately after confirming the sale.the court made au order instructing the sheriff to turn over the property to the purchasers, they to assume all liabilities including salary of the receiver and his attorney, inourred sines Dec. '22d, the date of purchase. Ed, win. Stone, of Portland, was on hand with a power of attorney from Messrs. Bonner & Hammond, and as their representative took charge ol attairs at 4:30 Saturday aiteraoon, although the documents necessary to the transfer had not been signed. . To a Gazette representative who called on Mr. Stone immediately after the transfer he stated: - . "Charles Clark; late receiver, will be retained as superintendent for the present at least, and no change will be made in the personnel of present employes. 1 he road will be operated as haretof ore, ' until the arrival of Mr. Hammond, who in now in New York, and is expected to reach Cor vallis within the next two weeks." - ; Mr. Stone said he could make no state ment as to the future plans of the purchas ers, except that the road - was badly run down and as a natural consequence a large sum of money would be put into betterments at once. He said the report that Blair and Wharton were interested in this deal was a "fake." Bonner & Hammond bought the road for themselves. Upon the arrival of Mr. Bonner the company will be reorganized under a new name with a local" board of directors. ." . ; - Mr. Stone is an old friend and former employe f Mr. Bonnor, aud of fete years has been connected, in an official capacity, with the Northern Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Railway & Naviga tion companies. He is now familiarizing himself with the details of the road's man agement, and will probably hold s responsi ble position in the new company. FROTJ FROTJ. The production of this beautiful comedy drama, by those talented and accomplished actresses, the Tittell sisters, at the opera house last Thursday evening, was undoubt edly the theatrical event of the season. Why such an excellent play, interpreted by performers oi established reputation aud splendid ability, should fail to draw is dif ficult to comprehend. Is it because times are hard ? 0 is Manager Howell, whose efforts to secure such legitimate players should be substantially encouraged, to un derstand that the people do not want this class of entertainment? No - doubt the scarcity of money has much to do with the case, but the great trouble seems to lie in the fact that the public the theatre-going public of this city, with a few exceptions, have no taste for this kind of plays. : There seems to exsist an abnormal appetite for something that will provoke their risibili ties; something side-splitting. It is not altogether strange that this should be the case. Laughter is essential to an active people. But too muoh cheap foolishness is apt to become mawkialiness. Let us be en tertained, in the first place. That is neces sary. But above all we should be improved by our amusements. We should be in structed, edified, educated by them. Give us, howevsr, the best there is in nature, not the worst. Give us pictures of beauty, not of bitterness and gloom. Fron Fiou, it must be admitted, is not a cheerful play. But it is true to human na ture, of all countries, and it is to be wel comed on that account at least. Fron Frou errs, but her fault is the result of her, sur roundings : rather than of herself, i . The world is full of Froh-Frous, whose j&ulties are to be pardoned because of the pathos in- their lives. The work of Miss Essie Tittell in the role ot tiuuerte, a part that has called upon the best efforts of Sara Bern hardt, Ellen Terry and Mrs. Potter, was excellent. . Her gradual working up of Gil berte's jealousy of Louise, and of her sister's place in her husband's household, was very finely expressed, and the culmination of the scene was powerfully rendered. To our mind, however, Miss Tittell fails to harmo nize the lighter with the more serious traits of the character. Her simplicity of . heart and light-hearted gaiety in the earlier scenes, while very pleasing in themselves, suggested rather the soubrette than the leader of fashion of fickle Paris. This is a technical point, however, which does not detract from the merit of her portrayal of the later pa thetic phases of the character. Miss Minnie Tittell has an eminently pleasing presence, and a rare decree of emotiona) expression. Sho played with a force, sincerity and truth which would cer tainly compare favorably with the efforts of any of her predecessors in the part. The company as a whole is made np of capable players, .and each member sustains his allotsd part ia a very creditable manner. BARN SSXOUSHED. Hon. Thomas Cooper came up from Sa lem last Friday, remaining until Monday. When he left for the capital city about two weeks ago, a large frame barn on his place west of town was Hearing completion. The frame work of the structure was up, the sheeting on and shingling had begun, and by this time the outside work would have been entirely completed, but the windstorm on the night of the 12th razed it to the ground. Work on the building is now well under way again, and barring accidents will soon be completed. ; Once finished, Mr. Cooper will have one of the largest and best barns in- the county. Speaking of the recent senatorial contest Mr. Cooper stated to a Gazette man that until Wednesday afternoon before the cau cus the anti-Dolph element controlled 37 votes. This number would have been suffi cient to control the nomination, but a few hours before the caucus convened, Dolph's strength was augmented by five votes from', the opposition party, thus giving Dolph 40 J vntea. What influence was broach t to bear upon these members IS not Known., mr-, .. . , . c -i :.. : l,.. M i n.H 1 wonld have been the caucus nominee bad , Mr.. Dolph failed on the hrst ballot.' He said there were a number of members who considered themselves in duty bound to vote for Dolph the first time, but subsequently would have thrown their strength lo sSme other candidate. Mr. Cooper says there was very little enthusiasm over, the result and a great deal of disappointment. Mr. Cooper says the house ' displays a penny-wise-pound-foolish course by wrang ling over little things, and thus taking up the time which should properly be devoted to larger and more important matters. He is of the opinion that the house is at least a week behind the senate in the consideration ol bills. NEWSY COLLEGE NOTES. Items Gathered by Our Reg ular Correspondent at the Agricultural College. ' Pres. BIoss received the faculty at dinner Monday, the occasien being; to commemorate his fifty-sixth birthday.5' In the near future, Colonel T. M. An drews, commandant of.Vancouver barracks, will deliver an address for the college. " : The Farmer's Short Course class is pro gressing finely.' . Good wore: along every line is being done and the professors speak most highly of the class as workers. S. P. Hanawalt, of Portland, paid the college a thorough and exhaustive visit last Tuesday.; - He .visited every depart ment and expressed himself as being greatly surprised and pleased with the workings of our school. a - The number of students now matricu lated is 256. This is a very perceptible in crease over last year's enrollment at this time. This increase is all the more remark able because of the great decrease in the number in the preparatory department. Prof. Coote's bulletin will, be out in the first week of February. This bulletin will be of especial interest to farmers, as prac tical subjects are discussed in a " practical manner. Numerous varieties of common fruits are to be discussed in this bulletin; their best methods of growth, polleniza- tion, etc., will also be taken np. The next lecture that will bs delivered under the auspices of the agricultural col lege will be one by Pres. Chapman, of En gene, who will lecture next Saturday even ing in the eollege chapel. His subject will be "Suffrage," and ' the lecture will no doubt be an intellectual treat. Everyone, especially the townspeople, will be wel come. The foot-ball season ended in a blaze of glory, figuratively speaking. In reality it ended in a game amongst the various foot ball enthusiasts of the -college last Monday afternoon, in the midst of mud aud water. A slow, but ' very scientific!?) game was played; one side scoring one touch-down and no goal, and the other side gaining two goals and touch-downs, in the first half. Neither side scored in the last half. The losing team will furnish the victors, them selves and,several visitors with a fine supper, to bs served at Cauthorn hill; probably on next Friday evening. The winning team will be obliged to take down the goal, posts, clear the grouds of the fences, eta. The football expenses, exclusive of the cost of the games are as follows: The ex penses of the coach, suits, goalposts, tele graph and telephene messages, suppers at Cauthorn hall during training season, etc, amount to $135; which sum was subscribed from various sources. Our townspeople donated $94; $10,50 was collected from the students, and $31.00 from the faculty. All tho gate money taken in at games played on our grounds during " the season goes to the treasurer of the inter collegiate associ at Eugene, after the expenses of the visit, ing' teams have been paid f torn it. From the various articles in the Orego nian one wonld think that the Agricultural College is no more than an ordinary high school and that the students represented ouly the population of pur town. . This is a great mistake, and after glancing over the enrollment book, one can see that the great majority of students have their homes in the country and are mostly farmer boys and girls. We have obtained the following iuterestingg statistics from the rolls of the eollege, which give the lie direct to the Oregonian's statements: Benton county is represented by 110 of her young people. Of these, 57 register as residing within the city limits and the remainder come from different parts of the county. A large pro portion of the city pup lis' parents only re side in town so as to be close to their children while they aro sttending school; the remainder of the 256 students come from all over Oregon; while a few represent California and ? VVashingtoo. ' 28 counties out of the 32 in our state are represented. After knowing this, no one can say that the cplleg ia other than a school for the country people. If any one with or dinary powers of observation were to com pare the i lass of boys and girls in our col lege with the pupils of city high schools, the great difference at once would be seen. As a class-, the agricultural students are larger, hardier and more countrified in their appearance than any other tody of stu dents in the state and what is more to the point, we are proud of it aud consider it an honor to be called "hayseeds." Til 15 KOaTGAGB TAX LAW. Tho first bill of the session to revive in some shape the mortgage tax law is that of Senator Tolbert Carter, of Benton and Lincoln counties. It provides that all mortgages, deeds of trust, ' contracts or other obligations wherel.y land or real prop erty situated in this state is made security for the payment of a debt, together with such debt, shall, for the purpose of assess ment and taxation, be deemed and treated as land or real property. - All mortgages, deeds of. trust, contracts or other obliga tions whereby land or real property is made security for debt,' together with such debt, shall be assessed and taxed to the owner of such security and debt iu the county, city or district iu which the land affected by such security is situated.
