Death entered the home of William Mac kay last Sunday morning at 10 o'-clock and claimed & loving wife and mother. The funeral occurred Tuesday morning at St. Mary's church, of which Mrs. Mackay was a member, and the remains were interred-in j the Catholic cemetery. . Mrs. Mackay, whose maiden name was Theresa M. Mc- Gralh, was born near Ottawa, Canada, ., . , , . .. more than 53 years old. April 29, 1862, tlse . was married to William Mackay and two! lnt-A an4ru4 nm V. ln r sinii ' years later they started on their long and perilous voyage by way of Panama, bound for Corvallis, Oregon, where they arrived 2Tov. 3Q, 1864. The next year she and her hu-sband moved to their homestead near To ledo, on Yaqnina bay. Hero tbey resid d continuously until Mr. Mfickay wa3 elected sheriff of Benton, necessitating his residing in Corvuliis. Mrs. Mackay leaves a hus band and eight daughters to mourn b:r de mise. The deceased has a brother living on Coos bay and a sister in Iowa. Few can realize what it is'to be an invalid for over seventeen years and what must have been endured by the deceased during her long hours of affliction. Her death was caused by a continued attack of nervous prostration, yet during all her pain and suf fering she was resigned to what she could not control. A zealous Christian, she died in the faith she had known since childhood. Many friends mourn her ioss and extend their sympathy to the bereaved family. a r.-;cEivsn a?po:xtbd. v The Corvalil3 public will note with regret that the Northwest Fire and Marine Iusur ance Co. has determined to wind up its bus iness acd retire from the iosurase Held. The insurance' business on this coast has ben auprotitable for eeveral years and the ; Northwest has made a gallant tight a;ainst ! these advei-se conditions, but was nnally compelled to sucenmb to them. F. M. Johnson, who has been the company's agent ia this city for several years, ha3 arranged with-the iE:na Insurance Company of Hart ford, Conn., assets $ 11,000,000, to take np all Northwest polieios written in his agency. The iStna, as everyone knows who is at all familiar with the iasnnince business, is one ot the ollasfc ana bes-t-irsanced . companies in the world. On aocoant of the absolute security iufnisiied by tha JEtJia, it is a uiat- ter of congratnbtion to Northwest policy' holders that Mr. Johnson was able to make so forturs-te ftjn arrangement without loss to his patroi.8. The Nor :hwes, with its 50,0C) deposit wih the stita treasurer and other l.;rga nsseLa, will, in all probability, bonble to meet ai:y losse3 occurring while ita affairs are being sctt'ed up by Receiver ' Allistcn. The real cause of the collapse was the result of heavy leases sustained in the state of Wihiotou during ths year 18S1.- From the effect of this heavy drain on its asots and the continued depressed!. conJition of underwritina, the 'company was unable to make mou.iy for its stockholdat, and so concluded to retire from the field altogether. The Northwest' has done a large business ia Corvallis and was a'wsys very prompt in the ieStlement of its losses. Stock iu the company to the amount of about $10, CCS was held by citizens of Corvallis. .

That is, each gallon' of the chemical preparation contained in the cylinders is equal to 40 g.illons of water. The chemical extinguisher is designed es pecially for use at small tires and does very effeotive service. ' I The . cylinders are charged to about 100 ponnds pressure to the square inch and throw a stream through a three-eighth inch nozzle sixty or seventy feet.'-: v- . ;'.-.' Frank Hughes, a prominent resident of Lobster precinct, made the Gazetts office a pleasant call this week. . Mr. Hughes is considerably, interested, in getting a law passed to compel the recording of all con veyances, especially patents from the gov ernment. : He says the Southern Pacific company has title to several thousand acres of land in the Alsea valley) which rernaius unassessed from year to year, because the assessor is unable to locate-and describe the lands, owing to ; the company's . failure to have its patents' recorded. Such a bill as Mr. Hugbes suggests could hardly become a law, and if it did its operation would - work numerous hardships. The tronbla might be avoided by an act ef congress which, upon the granting of a patent, would . require all government land offices to advise the clerks of the several counties .in ' their respective districts of the issuance of such patent, de scribing the lands so conveyed.' By the operation of this plcn it' would be impossible for any lands, specially the large grants, to escape taxation. . 1 t HEWST COX,XSGn NOTES.
