' three to five cars of bridge timbers and ties
are taken west te be used between Philo

cupy the building now being vacated by

barrels and Mr. Horsefall expects to have

crop.
At a meeting o the school board Tuesday
evening the present corps of teachers were
retained for next year, with the excep.
tion of Miss Brenneman, wkoso resignation
was accepted. Her place as teacher of the
7th grade, was filled by the promotion of
Miss Bsrgin from the 5th grade, the latter
vacancy being filled by Mrs. May Nelms,
who has taught with splendid success in the
schools of this county as wU as in the
public schools of Independence.
. A letter received yestesday by the Ga
zette from Congressman Hermann states
that he will leave Wathiugton soon, and
that he will be in CoralIis within the next
three or four ' weeks.' Mr. Herman has
been busily egHgd about the; different
departments since th adj-rarnment of con
gress, looking aftxr business pertaining to
the welfare of his constituents. He is one
man in whom the public huve the utmost
confidence, knowing that at all times he is
discharging his duty energetically, earnestly
and capably, without foar or favor.
Last Saturday Miss Maud Brenneman left
for her home in Pennsylvania. For two
years she has been a most successful teacher
in - the Corvallis public schools- and
both pupils and patrons regret that she could
not be prevailed upon to remain longer.
She was greatly admired by all with whom
she came in contact and it was not surpris
ing that a large crowd of friends were at the
depot to bid her good bye and wish her a
safe journey homeward. She seems also to
have especially endi-ared herself to a certain
young business man of Corvallis, who "hap
pened" to be going Yaquinawafd on the
same train and who rem rked to one of his
companions tho other day, "that should she
return to' Corvallis it' would not be neces
sary for her to engage in teaching. '!
Passenger business batweeu San Francisco
and Oregon via the Yaquina route is rapidly
increasing. Oa her last trip up, tbe Faral
Ion brought .eighteen cabin passengers and
prospect are favorable that ere long this
liae will be a favorite with the traveliug
publis. Today the ateamer goes on the dry
dock, while nndergning some slight repairs,
and will leave for Yaquina on the 2nd of
June. The Farallon is elegantly fitted
up 'or passenger service, having cabin ac
eommodations for one hundred passengers
As her average time from dock to dock is
less than forty-eight hours, and as she
makes close connections at Yaquina with
O. C. & E. trains it is not at all improbable
that the Yaquina bay route will soon be do
ing a thriving passenger business.
An exchange says that "the editor of the
Cottage Grove Echo Leader got himself into
trouble, by speaking of a . local millinery
Btore, kept' "by a very estimable lady and
saying "he was very giad to see her stocking
up." .' When- the paper "came out, Bro.
Thorp was astonished when the lady met
him and struck" - him over his think-dome
with hec umbrella, at the same time telling
him he was a liar and hadn't seen anything
of the kind. He doesn't yet know what
she was mad about, although he has read
the item a hundred times to see if there was
anything spiteful in it." Had he intimated
that he had seen - her "stocking down"
there might have been some excuse for the
rumpus, and if the statemeat were true,
Bro. Thorp might have been partially repaid
at least, for the punishment he received.
Hon. John Minto, of the state board of
horticulture, was in town Tuesday. . He is
inspector for the second horticultural dis
trict, which comprises Marion, Polk, Linn,
Lane, , Liaovln and 'Benton counties. He
aaya the new law has -already repaid the
state for the appropriation made last winter
by the creation of increased attention to
orchards. People generally are giving more
care and attention to their trees this year
than ever before. - With the exception of
the eastern portion of Marion county,
where the apples have been injured by tent
caterpillars, there is every indication of an
abundant erop of all varieties ef fruit in
Mr. Minta's district. He finds the trees in
this section in tplendid order and in general
the orchards are receiving excellent care,
A very quiet and pleasant wedding took
plaoe Thursday, May 23, at the residence of
the bride's mother, Mrs. C. P. Tite, 529,
Glisan street. The contracting parties were
Miss Daisy E. Grubb and Mr. G. Herbert
Ray, both of this city. Immediately after
an enjoyable wedding breakfast was partak

CBATH or It. P. TAYLOR.
Tuesday afternoon, after months of pain
and patient suffering M. P. Taylor breathed
his last The story of his trouble is too well
known to need repetition. ' Several months
ago he began suffering from the" effects of a
tumor in his stomach. Later he Went to
Portland, where an operation was performed
at which time some 40 inohes of his intestine
was removed. This, the physicians thought
would result in a permanent cure; but it did
not. He, however, was able to be around,
and since the accident to his son, about a
week ago, which rendered them unable to
work, Mr. Taylor had delivered milk about
town, taking his son's plaoe. In getting in
and out of the wagon he received a sudden
jar, which it is thought, wrenched apart the
partially healed intestines, oansing his death
after several hours of intense suffering. .
Mathew P." Taylor was barn in Milroy,
Pa., and the 12th of next month he would
have been 50 years of age. In November
1868, he was united : in marriage, and was
the father of seven children, three of whom
survive him. Of the deceased it oan be
truthfully said he had no enemies. He
was industrious, 'attentive to business, and
was" regarded by all as a man of the highest
honor and integrity. From boyhood, Mr.
Taylor had been a Presbyterian and during
his residence her was prominently identi
fied with that organization in -this city.
Owing to the absence bis pastor, Dr.
Thompson, the funeral services were con
ducted jointly by Revs. Gould and Zercher.
Theservices and interment, which occurred
at Peoria in Linn connty, wero nnder the
auspices of the Woodmen of which order the
deceased was a member in good standing.

And so Corvallis is going to celebrate the
glorious 4th I This decision was reached at
a meeting of business men who assembled at
the parlors of tbe First National bank
Tuesday evening for the purposs of consid
ering the advisability of such a movement
S. L. Kline was chosen chairman of the
meeting and B. W. Johnson secretary. Af
ter discussing the matter at considerable
length the chair appointed F. L. Miller, F.
A. Alexander and Z. H. Davis a committee
to solicit funds and instructed them to re

committee of arrangements, consisting of
8. L, Kline, B. W. Johnson, J. M. Nolan.
F. A. Alexander, F. L. Miller and M.
Sohmidt were appointed and as soon as it is
deliaiioly known how much cash will be
available, the committee will immediately
complete the arrangements. "
It is expected that the business sen . will
respond liberally, and the eountry folks are
assured that no pains will be spared by the
committee having the celebration in charge
to make it of interest to all. There are al
ready several special features nnder consid
eration by the committee that will bs new, I
unique and amusing. In onr next issue, the
Gazette hopes to announce the result of
the committees' arrangements, but in the
meantime our readers are assured that the
celebration this year will eclipse all former
efforts. At the next meeting of the general
committee a ladies' committee will be ap

LECTURES IN PORTLAND AND IN
..; EUGENE. "
It is announo'ed throngh the press of tbe
state that Dr. E. B. McEIroy, of tho State
University, has recently been engaged to
deliver several lectures, among: which are
the annual addresa before the Portland
High School and the memorial address at
Eugene. Dr. McElroy hails from Corvallis,
and the Gazette is prond of it. Eight
years he was superintendent of the Benton
oouoty schools; and then he accepted the
state superintendency, in which position he
has during twelve years of faithful, wise,
and efficient service, distiagrished himself.
No other man has held the position so long;
and no other school system has made so
rapid advancement, during that time, as
ours. We have elegant edifices, lines of
steamers and trains of cars, manufactures,
productive farms and rich mines, great
newspapers and wonderful industrial inter
ests, which all enjoy; but the one great
thing that appeals to all alike the frugal
and the parsimonious as the pride of our
state and marvel of perfection, is onr
school system. It is the work of" time,
money and brains; bat the one who has had
most to do with advancing it to its present
high standing is he whom the future gener
ations will delight to honor as the man who
for twelve long years, pot his life and encr
gies and individuality into our schools, and
earned for them a recognition hitherto
unknown.' Men have livod in high estate,
have served their constituents, have made
fortfaemtelves a name which was afterward
hewn in wood or carved in stone, and yet
they have been forgotten, save in history;
but, through tbe indefatigable energies of
the man who, during the past twelve years,
has given movement to the great tidal wave
of education in our state, a laatlng influence
will go down to bless tbe ages and add Ins
tre to the names of those who have aided in
this grand work. So, all aenor to onr fel
low townsman whose unrivaled successes
have led many to believe that he would add
graee and dignity and effioiency to a posi
tion so high as that of United States oom
missioner of education.
' Last Friday a number of bicyclists from
various valley towns entered a race at June
tion City. Bruce Burnett, who is attending
the state university was to be there. Hear
ing of this, aud being anxious to show the
younger brother a trick or two at cycling,
Brady, the local champion for '94, went to
Junetion, also. Along with Bruce aad sev
ral supposed to-be rapid wheelmen, Brady
entered the race, so 'tis said "just to do np
the kid." But from the oatset the "kid'
set the pace, and at the outcome, was full
25 yards ahead of Brady and at least twice
that distance in advance of all the other
riders. Brnce has been training all spring
aad there are few amateurs in the valley
who are "in it with bim when it comes to
getting over the ground on a wheel. ; Should
he continue to improve as he has during
the past few months he is likely to be olass
ed with Johnson and ' Zimmerman by the
ad of '96, and hereafter it ia not at all pro
bable that Brady - will assay to give the
young man any more pointers.
; XSf HOfilAX, STTWDAY SERVICES.
Despite 'the inclement weatkef th spaf.
cious Presbyterian chureh. was well filled
last Sunday by those who had come to lis
ten to thst memorial services. Ia compli
ance with a custom that has been observed
here for many years, the local churches,
with two exceptions, joined in the services,
thus affording the eonjregationi of the sev
eral denominations an opportunity of paying
their respects to the nation's dead. The
interior ef the church had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion with flowers,
flags, bunting and evergreens, while' about
the walls were displayed mottoes in memory
of the nnknown dead Promptly at 11
o'clock members of Ellsworth Post, U. A.
R., Ellsworth W. R. C. and Benj. Harrison
Camp, Sons of Veterans marched in'to the
building in a body !nd "occupied tho front
rows of seats, which had been reserved for
them. Splendid music of an appropriate
character was rendered by a large choir of
singers selected from the various churches,
under the leadership of Mrs. F. M. Johnson.
The different pastors of the city assisted
with the services, the sernvot being preached
by Rev. Hiram Gould of the Methodist
charch. " His remarks wars exceedingly
impressive and patriotic. Being himself an
old soldier, he wss very familiar with the
story of the war s well as with tbe history
of many of its leaders. : On returning from
the war there were fears entertained by
many that the old soldiers would not be
likely to throw off their" uniforms ami don
the habilamsnts of citizens; But these fears
were groundless, for the soldier boys were
soon found "engaged in the various occupa
tions of the land, and many of them . have
since attained to the most prominent posi
tions of honor and trust within the gift of
the people. The great majority of that
grand and noble army have been men; few
have lost their manhood and fallen. Per
haps this was trne of no other nation.
While we should rejoice at this, the speaker
thought we should drop a tear for the absent
ones. He told an interesting story of a 4th
of July celebration in Libby prison: of a
flag made of old shirts, and of its being
ordered down by a rebel officer in charge of
the prison, but the boys from the north had
never learned this order and the officer was
compelled to cut "Old Glory" down himself.
The speaker paid a glowing tribute to Grant,
telling of his life from the time he left the
service after the Mexican war, up to his
promotion to commander of all the union
armies. .Lincoln was characterized as tne
greatest man the world ever produced. In
cidents of his life were recited shewing the
obstacles which he overcame and how, after
his election to the presidency, he took the
reins ef government and saved the nation.
hich at the time of his inauguration was
fast crumbling to pieces. The services were
concluded by singing "America," in which
the entire congregation joined.

Mr. Kimble abundant success in this new
venture...
And still the deputy salary battle rages.
We are of the candid opinion that the eourt
made a mistake when it cut the salaries
down. As to the desire of the petitioners it
is safe to say at least one -half of those who
signed the petition did so without any un
derstanding in regard to the matter. There
was a petition circulated in this precinct
which was signed by every mau it waa pre
sented to, save one. Had it been circulated
sr the entire valley at that time, four-
fifths of the voters of the valley would have
signed it. But after the subject was aired
through the columns of the Gazette and
Times, the circulator concluded he did not
care to send his autograph in on each a peti
tion, and judging others who had signed it
by himself, the petition waa not sent in.
mis gave entire satisfaction to every signer
of the petition who is a reader of the above-
named papers, but those who do not read
the county papers, and, therefore, have lit
tle knowledge of county affairs, thought a
great injustice kad been done, because the
petition was not sent in. We earnestly be
lieve that 75 per cent of those whose names
are now en file with the connty court on
said petition are sorry their names are there.
Many of the remaining 25 per eent will be
oa hand at the conventions next spring,
ready to sacrifice their own interests, just
to shew the people they can do the work in
the different offices without asking for o'er
ioal aid from the county. . But Benton
eounty ia not looking for oheap men now,
and we hope it never will.

FROM CORWA1VIVIS TO DOVBR.
- . Dover, N. H., May 20th, '95. '
Ed Gazette: "Beneath the simple outline
of great events there is a complex network ef
human experiences," and this- last trip of
mine across the continent via the Great
Northern to Si. Paul; thence by the Soo
line through lower Canada to Montreal;
thence helter skelter, as it were, to Cover
has been one of them. Lett Portland, Ore
gon, on the eveninjr of the 17th of April,
and being completely prostrated from' the
many enconaters with the several agents of
transcontinental lines, retired' early for" the
night, to be' wooed to sleep by the gentle
motion of the onrushiag train. AWafeening
early mi the morning, found myself near
Pendleton, in Eastern Oregon. Whatever
may be said of ether parts' of the west) here
there is no lack of labor, every man, woman
and child is kept busy digging the sand out
of their eye, and when they get eye cleared
they will find plenty of work awaiting them
in cleaning the same out of their door yards.
To be sure it will soon drift back again, but
what matter' It gives them plenty of emi-
ployment.. I kept my hat on all through
that section, through fear of being blown
bald-headed; but, having been an old sailor,
accustomed to rough weather, managed to
weather the gale unti!J after passing. Tekoa,
a small station some forty miles west of
Spokane, where we encountered! a wrecked
freight train. This delayed two hours,
which was somewhat annoying at the time,
but 1 learned later that it "was a preooncer
ted action on the part of the officials of the
last named place in order that I might have
the pleasure of visiting their "beautiful little
city, i was tendered the freedom of the
municipality, and waa escorted to the Hotel
Cosmos in a gentle shower of rain. This
again seemed to have been preconosived in
order that I might the better appreciate the
beautiful sunshine of the following day,
when arising early and after enjoying a
hearty breakfast, I wandered forth to view
the historic falls and other points) of interest.
Ia the afternoon a small barn was fired in
the western part of town, to give me an op
portunity of witnessing the efficiency of
their fire department in subduing the
destroying element.
In all respects 1 was treated royally,
especially by Mr. C. G. . Deyoe, general
agent at Spokane for the Great Northern
R. R,, to whom I went for my passport,
which he willingly granted when told I was
about to leave tbe place. Leaving Spokana
at 5:15 p. m., April 19th, accompanied by a
joyous band of fellow sufferers, amid the
rush of escaping steam and the whistling of
the locomotive, eastward I held my way,
over the beautiful plains, the gently undula
ting hills, across rushing streams winding
away to join their "waters with tbe calm
Pacific. Under the silent stars and the
ever-peaceful moon, eastward I held my way.
On, oa, ever onward, until full atop an j
other wreck. . This one at Bear Creek, near
the summit of the Rocky mountains. Eight
freight cars so piled up and mingled together
that when we got away, twelve hours later,
by a train sent to our rescue, the wreckers
were still trying to ascertain which of the
cars of the wrecked train had been in the
lead. Being fully satisfied that I could not
solve the connndrum, and not wishing to
acknowledge the fuel, I took my departure.
Arrived at St. Paul at 2 p. m. , April 22nd.
Leaving at 5:45, we reached Soo St. Mane,
the following day. Here, as we were about
to cross the line which separates the possess
ions of Uncle Sam from those of England's
'aughty queen, I thought it best to look
after my personal effects, but was politely
informed that this was unnecessary, as the
Canadian government had provided that my
effects should pass nomolested. Thanking
the official who had been appointed to wait
upon me with this information,! allowed my
mind to regain its former quiet and lapsed
into blissful repose. We passed throngh
Ottawa, the se it of the Canadian govern
ment, early on the morning of the 24th. I
should have been pleased to stop off and pay
my respects to tbe governor, bnt as he had
not been apprised of my coming, and as I
am averse to creating a sensation, 1 con
cluded to postpone my visit nntil a more
convenient season, and so passed on, 'reach
ing my destination on the morning of the
26th. : W. E. Paul. .

PARTING?
(By Col. Was. H. Taylor. J! -I
kissed you! Your head
Dropped low on my breast
With a feeling of shelter
- And infinite rest?
; While the holy emotions' .
My tongue dared not speak
Flashed np ia a flame
From my heart to my chcekv
My arms held you fast ;
Oh, my arms were so bold,, -Heart
beat ag inst heart
Ia their passionate fold.
. Your glances seemed drawing
My soul through my eyes
As the sua draws the mist
From the seas to the skies
Your lips clung to mine
Till I prayed, in my bliss,.
They might never anclasD
From that rapturous kiss.
You kissed met My heart.
And my breath, and my will',- '
In delirious joy,
For a moment stood still.
Life had for me then
No temptations, no'cbarms
No visions of happiness
Outside of your arms.
And were I this instant -
An angel possessed
Of the peaoe and the joy
That are given the blestr
I would fling my White robes
Uarepioingly down.
I would tear from my forehead!
Its beautiful crown
To have you nestle once mors
In that haven of rest
Your lips upon mine,-.
Your head on my breast, ;
Yon kissed me! My soul,
In a bliss so divine,
Reeled like a drunken man
: Foolish with wine;
And I thought 'twere delicious
To die there, if death.
Would but come while my lips'
Were yet moist with your breath;
If I might grow cold
While my arms clasped yon sound
In then passionate foioV
And these are the questions"
I ask day and night:
Must lips taste no- more
Such exquieite delight?'
Would you care if my breast
Were your shelter as then.
And if you were here.
Would yon kiss mo again?

Last Monday the Ciceronian
and Websterian societies met for
their last time this year.- - Lit
erary , work has been suspended
to allow every one more " time to
prepare for commencement,
Saturday afternoon at z
o'clock, June ist,-the tennis
club will hold a 'try out" on its
court for the purpose of deciding
who is to go to Salem ton play
June 8th. . Considerable; interest
is being taken in thi9 -work just
now and those who care to come
out will probably see some good
games. The players are a little
doubtful about winning at Sa
lem, but are going to do their
best and make their opponenents
know they have been in a tennis
game. v - - "' - '-Jf :;
The competitive drill " took
place last Monday afternoon, as
was announced. The threaten
ing weather kept many from
coming out to witness the con
test, but quite a number were on
the campus when the battalion
tstme out anu tne interest was
intense. Of course everybody
especially the young ladies
had a preference, and none but
their company could win. A
company was expected by many
to win easily, while it was no
ticeable that B company was fa
vored by more young ladies. C
company was thought of but lit
tle; they were not supposed to
be "in it" at all. They had but
few supporters , and hardly any
female voices to cheer for them.
Judge then, the surprise of all
when the following report of the
judges 'was read: Points won
by A company, 50; by B com
pany, 74; by C company, 86.
C company had won the colors.
Astonishing as it might seem, it
was a fact and there were the
figures. A gloom at once set
tled over companies A and B and
the young ladies, while old C,
with its few. supporters, became
hilarious in the extreme. They
have reason to be especially
proud of their - victory, for out
of the entire company, only one
man, besides the officers, was
ever , drilled until tljis year.
Their success is due to the un-.
tiring efforts of Capt. Chandler,
who has worked hard to bring
his company up to the mark, be
sides he handled his men dur
ing the contest in such a way as
to get in 28 movements to As
17 and B's 24. They were al
lowed 15 minutes to drill and to
receive 3 points for each differ
ent movement perfectly executed
and 15 points for the manual of
arms. A company went through,
as many movements as the oth
ers, and had they been allowed a
grade for each one the ' result
might have been different, but
they repeated almost everything,
so that it only left them 17 differ
ent movements. Capt. Buxton
did not understand this and
thought he was getting credit for
each manoeuver. The ; judges
were: Capt. Burgh, Pres. Bloss
and Prof. Letcher. The mem
bers of the winning company re
alized at once that the victory
was due to the generalship of
their captain and have adopted
the following yell: Zip, boom,
bee ! Zip, boom, bee ! Chan
dler, Chandler, Company C!

OFFICE.
