Corvallis was startled Tuesday evening
by the announcement that Aloozo Haskins
wJa in the county jail awaiting trial on a
charge of attempted rape upon the person
of Opal Wilkins, the 6-year-old daughter of
il. W. Wilkins. Iu the indictment Haskins
is accused of having committed the heuious
offense oa or about March 29th at the Hotel
Corvallis. From the father of the un-;
fortunate child it was learned that Haskins
had been suspected of such a crime prior to .
the date mentioned. When questioned in
regard to the matter the child, admitted
that their suspicions were well founded.
When the last ofiease oecurred Mr. Wilkins
claims that Haskins was caught in the act
by the girl's brother and upon his evidence
and that of the child the grand jury' found
a trae bill. When arraigned Wednesday
morning Haskins was asked if he had any
funds with which to defray the expense of
attorney. Being answered in the negative
the court appointed A. L. McFadden to de
fend him. The case will probably come up
for trial Friday.
The transcript and findings of Referee
J. Fred Yates in the case of J. A. Sturte
vant vs. J. M. Ralston and J. L. Cowan, as
the Bank of Lebanon, was' filed in the cir
cuit court of Linn county - last Monday.
The transcript consisted of over . 1000 pages
of type-written matter and was one of the
largest referee cases ever filed in Linn
county. The case was brought by creditors
of the bank, who were attempting to prove
Ralston's ownership in the concern - at the
time of its failure- If this theory could
have been established, it was the intention
of plaintiffs to hold Ralstou liable fur the
claims. Referee Yates, however, released
him from any liability, as Ralston's owner
ship in the bank oeased during the year
1890, and gave the plaintiffs a judgment
against J. L. Cowan for over $4,000. Al
though over 100 witnesses were examined,
the plaintiffs are yet unsatisfied, their at
torneys having filed a motion to set aside
the findings of the .referee. From what
can be learned from parties familiar with
the litigation it is aot likely that Judge
Burnett will allow the motion, iu which
event it is probable that an appeal will be
taken.

OBJECTS OF THE PAMPHIET.
Superitendent Holm is busily engaged in
preparing the copy for a 2,000 edition of a
pamphlet devoted to educational matters.
It is Mr, Holm s intention to place a copy
of the pamphlet in the home of every pupil
residing in the county. Ordinarily the work
would be paid for by the county, but Mr.
Holm has hit on a plan to relievo the tax
payers of this bnrden that is indeed com
mendable. Owing to its general distribution
throghout the county, the pamphlet will
prove one of the most valuable advertising
mediums ever presented to the business men
of this city. . Mr. Holm hopes to secure
sufficient advertising to defray the expense
incurred in getting out the publication.
Briefly, the objects ef the pamphlet are:
1st, to show the necessity for more uni
form and systematic effort on the part of
pupils, patrons, teachers and school officers.
2nd, to show some of the merits of a course
of study.
3rd, to advocate the adoption of the
graded course of study aow in the hands of
the teachers of this county.
4th, a discussion of the duties of school
officers.
. 5th, the publication ef a scheme for the 1
local spring institutes to be held in the
month of May.
6th, a discussion of the general attitude
of the public toward a common school edu
cation, discouragements and encouragements.
Every business house in the county should
hare an ad. ia this publication. Besides
securing valuable advertising space at very
low rates, those who assist Mr. Holm in the
work will be contributing their dollars to a
worthy and beneficial object, -
One of the purchasers of the Oregon Pa
cific, Mr. A. B. Hammond, arrived in Cor
vallis Sunday afternoon, accompanied by
Manager Stone and Superintendent Clark.
Since his arrival Mr. Hammond has been
familiarizing himself with the detail work
ings of the road and intends remaining
along the line or in Corvallis for teveral
days.
Mr. Hammond is a pleasant appearing
gentleman of about 40. He came to the
Pacific coast during the 60's and has since
been prominently identified with the inter
tests of the Northwest. He was first in
terested in Oregon and Washington, but
later went to Montana, where he became
associated in business with A. L. Bonner.
The firm is well known in that state, hav
ing been one of the most potent factors in
the development of its resources. Although
they were large contractors on the Northern
Pacific and built Some 300 miles of its line
and have since built and are now operating
two distinct lines of railroad in Montana,
that is by no means the only business iu
which they are engaged. Merchandising
and lumbering have each received a deal of
their attention. Being familiar with tim
ber, aud the lumbering industry of the
Northwest, Mr. Hammond sees the advan
tages that will aocrue to the road by the
establishment of large saw mill plants along
the line. To a Gazette representative he
expressed the belief that the timber along
the Oregon Pacific was unexcelled and that
the lumbariug busmees would soon form one
of the leading enterprises of this section.
Tuesday morning Mr. Hammond, accom
panied by Mr. Stone, Superintendent Clark,
F. J. Kaster, a San Fraucisco manufac
turer, and the railroad commissioners, passed
over the road on a tonr oi (inspection. Be
fore leaving fur Yaquina, however, the
party were sbowu through the carriage fac
tory. Mr. Hammond and - Mr. Kaster
were each surprised to find an enterprise
of such magnitude located at Corvallis.
To a Gazette man, who boarded the
special, Mr. Hammond stated there was
nothing pertaining to the affairs of the
Oregon Pacific that he desired kept from
the public. "We came here," he said, "to
do business openly aind in this - desire the
hearty co-operation of your people. . At
present, we are unable to proceed with our
plans, owing to the litigation now pending
in the supreme court in regard to the con
urination of the sale made to ns last De
cember. It was our intention to have be
gun already the improvements which
we have ia conntemplatlcn. To place the
road iu such a condition, physically, as I
desire,' will require the expenditure of at
least $30,000. This sum was provided for
some time ago, but we do not feel disposed
te make any unnecessary expenditures un
til we are certain of acquiring title to the
property. The purchase price, $100,000, is
only a very small portion of the capital which
must be invested in the plant to make it a
paying property. ' The road is and has been
losing money, ana to place it on a paying
basis, It musfbe"moro fully developed. w" 1
Regarding extensions, he said: "The
appeal now peuding has handicapped our
movements, but should;that be decided sat
isfactorily, we will at once place the prop
erty ia first-class condition, after which the
question of exteuaiona will be considered.
I am informed that the people of both Sa
lem and Eugene are prepared to give some
substantial encouragement for the building
of a line to each of those towns. If we
find that the business will justify it we
will build these branches."
As to an extension of the'' rpad to an
eastern connection, Mr. Hammond said:
"We will do that as fast and as soou as thn
business will admit, and eventually expect
to connect with some .transcontinental line.
In Portland I was iuformed that the eastern
end of the road amounted to but little, but
I found this untrue. From personal inves
tigation I am prepared to say that no rail
road of the same length in the United
States offers so much tonnage in sight as
that portion of the line between Albany
and its present eastern terminus. There is
probably ten billion feat of lumber along
the North Santiam, contiguous to the line of
the road, which sawed up into lumber
would load a train of cars eight thousand
miles long. It is a part of our plan to un
dertake the development of this industry
on a largeaoale. This will necessitate the
chartering a line of schooners between Saa
Francisco and Yaquina and. will require ad
ditional wharfage facilities at the bay city."
When asked if he contemplated any diffi
culty in securing the necessary capital for
prosecuting the work, Mr, Hammond
laughingly replied: "We have abundant
money with which to carry out onr plans;
however, it will be spent ia only a limited
way until the appeal case is settled, I
propose taking a trip over the route east
and will then determine how and when the
extension will be commenced. . As the
grading is partially completed i from the
end of track as far as Independence 'Prai
rie it is probable that an extension of the
line to that point will not be long post
poned. With a wairon road over the
mountains the volume of our business
would be materially increased. Each year
we will expect to build some line until our
plan for making an eastern connection is
finally carried out. I realize that a great
traffic awaits the advent of a railroad into
Eastern Oregon. ' , "
"The report that Mr. Bonner has severed
his connection with the Oregon Pacific pro
ject is unfounded. He, however, is not in
terested with me in the Astoria enterprise.
Incorporation papers are now being pre
pared looking to a reorganization of the O.
P. and the new company will be known as

SIRS. BEYSON'S MTJSICAM5.
The social event of . the winter was tbe
"musicals" given last Friday evening by
Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Bryson. Eighty-one
invitations had been sent out and, of this
large number seventy were responded te in
person. . On this occasion the ladies' mando
lin and guitar club made its first appearance.
During the evening, under the able direction
of Mr. W. G. Nash, the club rendered three
selections in splendid style, each number
being heartily applauded. Th program was
varied with vocal and instrumental music of
a high order. While each number was ten-
dered in such a finished manner as to de
serve special mention, still it would not be
unfair to speak particularly of Miss Bertha
Ellis' rendition of the aria. Her enuncia
tion was'splendid.-the words of the recita
tive portions beiDg clean cut aud perfectly
distinct. The caatelena passages were sung
with good regard for expression and with
much feeling. Miss Ellis showed a'fiue
dramatic instinct throughout the whole aria
and worked up to the climax at the end,
bringing out high "b" with a strong, pure
tone. She has the faculty of throwing her
self iuto her work, and' infuses the ,whele
with a charming personality, a point so
lacking in many singers. " The aria is ; from
the opera "Freischutz." by Weber, and was
called "Softlv Siehintr." In this selection
her efforts were so favorably received ' that
the 'air singer was compelled to respond to
an encore, and delighted her auditorsiwith
a splendid rendition of "Thou Art So Like
A Flower." Without wishing to detract in
the least from the natural ability of Miss
Ellis, still it would only be justice to her
instructor to state, that mnch of the teach
ing which she evidences having had , was re
ceived under the direction of Mr. Nash.
All were unanimous in expressing 'their
appreciation of Mr. Nash's playing. It was
faultless, aud evidences of approbation from
those present was marked. In fact, many
who had heard the young artist on numer
ous occasions, maintain that ke had never
before played with so much feeling and
expression. This was especially noticed
and commented upon with reference to his
encore selection, Chopin's G. Major oc-

WHAT THE MOON SAW.
Last Thursday eveuing a number of Cor
vallis Odd Fellows and Rebekahs drove out'to
Philomath to institute alodge of Rebekhas,
and thereby bans a tale. Among the turn
outs which rolled. into the quiet little village
of P., the most noticeable was one contain
ing two charming young ladies antwo distinguished-looking
men. One of these bit.
ter bad the appearance of being a minister,
but it was whispered that he was a scientist
with botanical proclivities. The other was
a pure type of the schoolmaster, and despite
the dignified expression which . a huge pair
of spectacles lent to bis countenance,
roguish twinkle glistened in his eye.'
As time wore on, the organization of the
lodge was enecteu, a pleasant time was
spent aud the party started for home. As
the blinking moon peered through the fitful
clouds, which skimmed across the sky, she
beheld the schoolmaster Pratt(Hng) gaily to
his partner, while the ministerial gentleman
cast shy glances at his lady, and listened to
the mischievioas little frogs as they sang:
"Why Cr -r-aig! Why Cr-r-r aig!" and gig
gled at his discomfiture A cloud drifted
bv and the scene was hidden. In a moment
the haze again rifted, and the spectacle
revealed took old Luna's breath: " 'Perched
upon a fence, by the roadaide,sat our two
heroines, while their brave escorts, looking
like two small floating islands in a sia of
mud, now stood gazing surrowfully at one
trusty steed as he lay motionless iu the road
way, and now vainly endeavored to lift the
fore wheels of the vehicle out of a fire-foot
hole with a two-foot reach. Anon the
maidens tired of their positions on the fence,
and as the sod of day nnbarred the gates of
morning and a stream of light flooded the
fields, they climbed down from their perch
aud. with the assistance of the botanical
gentleman, plucked the choicest dandelions
that crew in the shallow places. To be
brief: Help arrived; the vehicle was right
ed; the steed resuscitated; maid and escort
took their places in the buggy, and the
journey home was commenced. Aside from
the discomfiture and annoyance experienced
at the time, the ladies suffered tone from
the exploit. The schoolmaster wishes ns to
comment editorial! r on the beastly condi
tion of the roads, and the professor ot botany
is wearing out bis voice explaining how his
best trousers .came to be wrinkled clear up
to the knees, and where he eot that cute
little cough.

COVCERITZNO KISSING.
The reason kissing is so pleasant, says an
osculatory expert of scientific tendencies, is
because the teeth,' jaw bones and lips' are
full of nerves, and when the lips of persons
meet an electric current is generated.'

Ye?, it is so confounded cheap. You
don't have to have a dynamo machine, nor a

poorest persons in the world can eujoy the
electric current better than the millionaire
and it never gets out of order. If Edison
had invented kissing it would cost $100 a
year, like the telephone, and then extra
kissing would be charged up extra, and if
you didn't pay for it they would take out
your kissaphone and disconnect you from
