Much of the credit, says the Lincoln
Leader, for the successful issue of the Mc

to the efforts put forth by J. Fred Yates,
of Corvallis. The evidence was discovered

through his efforts, as was also arranged all

is a young man in the profession of law, and
his work in this case reflects credit on his

F. M. Johnson and family left Sunday
morning by private conveyanoe for Newport
where they expeet to remain several weeks.
They were driving a balky -team, and whan
last heard ef, were being towed up a hill in
Blodgetts valley by a couple of draft horses
driven by John McGee, jr. Upon his re
turn it is very likely that Mr. Johnson will
publish a work .entitled, "The Care an

leading featnrea ef the book.
W. F. Hamlin, proprietor of Orleans Farm

ity, that no lass than a deien of these ur
chins are engaged in this organized plot

and that each of them have a collection of

That Benton county is not adapted to the
growing of peaches can be safely ooatradict-
d. While the industry is in its infancy in
this seotion, there caa no longer be any
doubt that peaches can be grown here, equal
in flavor and size to those raised in other por
tions of the state. This year R. C. Kiger
has a crop of five hundred bushels, grown en
his island farm above town, that are ' equal
in every respect to any heretofore marketed

.Mr. Jones writes to the Sunday Oregonian
concerning, the Yaquina bay. '.Mister Jones
evidently went over to Newport for his
health and failed to get it. - The town is
not especially recommended as a resort,, for
dyspeptics. The people don't suit him. He
says (hey are prone to aupianess and a belief
ia free silver. Mister Jones discusses polit
ical economy, rock oysters, elysian shores,
butter and cheese, real estate rustling and
other matters to show his own versatility
and energy. He asks na to believe that the
Yaqnina country is one large charity insti
tution, supported by the general govern
ment; that the people are principally a set
of paupers, lazy and dirty, with, very rarely,
an ideal citizen or two among them, men
tioning especially Dr. Bayley and Sam Ir
vine as glorious exceptions to the general
rule. ' The Yaquinaitea must indeed be in
sorry straits if their social and financial con
ditions fall below those of tramp reporter.
Mister-Jones has decided, after careful scru
tiny from the balcony of the Ocean House,
that the Yaquina bay can never become a
first-class harbor, aad he has grave doubts
of it ever developing into more than a nice
place for the sailing of children's toy boats.
Mister Jones kindly admits that the Yaqui
na may possibly become a summer resort,
if more Portland people can be persuaded to
lend it their gracious presence. Some Port
land folk have already "ventured" there he
informs us, but find themselves isolated from
their friends. Horrible, isn't it? However,
he says, iu his exquisite literary style, "The
increase of Portlaud travel to Yaquina is
increasing," and the bope is ventured that
the savages fram Salem, Corvallis, Albany,
Eugene and sister towns will be left in a
minority.
A minister, preaching at the old college
chapel last Sunday, touched upon the
bloomer question. He was "agin em," and
held up Rebekah as a model for the young
women of the 19th century, and asked
'.'What show would she have had to catch
Isaac, had she appeared in bloomers at the
well ?" Now, my bible fails to state that
she did not appear in bloomers, and it is
very probable that her style of dress would
more offend the preacher's ideos of propriety
than doe the most fetching, of wide trous
ers. He finds himself horrified at ladies
riding "straddle." "Isaac," ho insisted,
"would have given her one 'glance, then
turned and fled, had she come te him astride
of her camel." There again is a gross pre
sumption. I doubt if she rode "sideways"
or even had a riding habit. "Rebekah was
a worker,-" the preacher said, "and not one
of the lazy, given-te-dress, piano pounding,
girls of today. She drew water for Isaac
and his ten camels." She was a fool to do
it. . Aad what a lout Isaac was to stand

Prof. S. L Pratt, who is visiting at his
old home in Michigan this summer, writes
friend in this city ia anything but a
flattering way regarding crops ia that por
tion of the country. He says: "I found
this section pretty badly dried up, a seveie
drouth having prevailed during the past
year; bay was about one third of a crop and
wheat and oats not far ahead of it. ' Local
rains have partially saved corn, which will
be about half a corp. Nearly
all whom I meet ask if we have suffered
from drouth in Oregon, to all of whom I have
replied that we always have plenty of ram
to insure abundant crops.' . We know noth
ing of hard times in Oregon as compared
with this section; here' people look lean,
hungry and discontented." The professor
says he will return to Corvallis in "single
blessedness" about Sept. 1st.
bad as taking the time that should be con
secrated to the worship and praise of God,
and wasting it in trying to make women
dress in the style the preacher particularly
admires. ' The prime social use of dress is to
hide nakedness; the- decorative considera
tion ia another aad secondary one. ' As long
as the dress conforms to both of these social
requirements, women have a right to con
sult their health and comfort, ia shaping
their clothes. ' Skirts are neither healthful
nor comfortable. There is nothing immodest
about bloomers, and only the vile or the
silly will claim that there is.

miles away from home and positively refuse,
without rhyme or reason, te take you a foot

vation that an indulgence iu cuss words
fails to alleviate. There seems to be ne posi
tive cure for balkiness. Twisting the tail,
pouring water in the car, a pan of oats, rub
bing the nose, whipping, and every tried
and recommended remedy fails in the time
of dire distress. I consulted two "hore'
books on the subject, but the only nractical
advice I found was te "sell the horse" Ia
these times, even that is a difficult thing to

The conflagration in Sprague last Saturday
baa caused considerable talk daring the last
few days, regarding Corvallis' water supply.
Reports were current that during the night
the water was turned off and that the mains
were entirely exhausted- of their supply.
Ia order to determine as to the correctness
of these reports. Councilman Greffoz, chair
man of the fire and water committee, con
eluded to make an investigation of the mat
ter Meaday night. With the assistance of
Nightwatchman McLtgan, he opened a num
ber of fire pings about town,' from none of
which he was able to get water.
In the event ef fire, connection is had
with the water , works by means of a wire
which connects the bell on the engine tower
with a small bell at the water works, and is
operated by turning iu an alarm. Iu order
that the water might be turned on, Officer
McLagan rung the fire bell gently, but this
evidently failed to work the alarm at the
pumping station, for during the next hour
the plugs were opened, but again the water
refused to flow therefrom.
Although this really seems to be a serious
matter, it is not so bad as many persons
imagine. From a member of the water com
pany it was learned that the company haa
two tanks, each of which coutoius 30,000
gallons. At night, doring lawn sprinkling
time, one of these tanks is shut off, while
the other is left open.' The snpply in the
latter is exhausted eaoh night by persons
allowing the water to run after the hour
provided by the water- company for the
sprinkling of lawns. If water consumers
would not break faith with the company
there would be no trouble. . As it is, the
I , . 1 . 1 1 . a 1
company is compeiiea to onus ou ou uu& j
for use in case of fire, and claim that when
alarm is tamed in the water will be
turaed on immediately, in which event the
mains will bs tilled and ready for action al
most instantaneously. However, it occurs
to the Gazette that this matter is one of
general concern, and that there is great dan
ger in allowing the- mains to be exhausted
of their supply at any time. ' Where the
fault lies' and its remedy should bs given
immediate attention by the oounoil or we
may have an experience with fire similar to
that experienced last week by the people of
Sprague.
BACK PROM DENVBK.
Saturday, Prof T. French returned trom
Denver, Colorado, where he was in attend
ance upon the annual coovaution of the asso
ciation of American agricultural ool leges
and experiment stations. To a Gazette
representative, Mr. French? stated that the
meeting was well attended, some two hun -drsd
delegates being present and represent
ing fnlly three fourths of the states and ter
ritories. The subjects discussed covered the
entire field embraced by the experiment
stations and agricultural colleges, and, owing
to ths fact that the papers read were by men
of leaning and wide experience, they were of
importance, not only to the delegates, but
to the interests they represented, such as
ths farmia?, -horticultural, dairying, and
stack raising industries. Mr. Fr ench says
the manner of employing instructors, aad
ether affairs pertaining to the management
of agricultural colleges and experiment sta
tions, were taken np and discussed at can -
siderabla lenctbt During this discussion
the tendency, ia many states, toward mk
ins frequent chanzes in the faculty, as well
as - in the management of the institutions,
was severely criticsied. The sentiment pre
vailed that such a course would not tend
toward promoting the best results. The
scouring of the best talent possible for th
heads of the various departments was
theniht to be a matter - deserving of the
most careful consideration, brt once secured.
it was of quite as much importance that they
be retained. " '
While absent. Prof. French visited the
agricultural colleges of Utah, Wyoming and
Colorado, but at no one of them found the at
tendanc as larga as at the institution here.
However, he found each ef these institu
tions better eouipBed than our own, Taeir
buildings were more extensive and each de
partment was better supplied with appara
tus and other necessary appliancis for car
rying on the work. He also learned that
salaries here were much lower than at the
institutions visited. In Colorado the pro
fessors receive from $1,600 to 2, 000 each
per year. Wyoming pays about the same,
while in Utah, $2,000 is paid. The two lat
ter inatitutions pay their presidents a salary
of $2,500, but the president of the Colorado
college receives $6,000 per annum, and was
oloved at that price for a period ot . hve
years.. .- .
PAST TIMS PROM WVPORT. .
. Years ago, before the completion .of . the
railroad. to the oaaV the only means of
travel to ths seaside was by stags or private
conveyance, and the drive from Newport
usually consumed from a day aad a half to
two days. Occasionally, however someone
woald make the trip in a day that is from
sun np to sua down and once in a -long
while the tins would be lowered to tea or
twelve hours, which in those days was con
sidered a remarkable feat. Since the rail
road has been in operation, travel . by pri
vate conveyance has been confined almost
exclusively' to the heavily' loaded rigs of
campers aad farmers so th-vt records of fast
.driving over this route are teldom if ever
heard of. The only instance of. the distance
being made in ten hours, that has been re
ported during recent years, occurred last
Friday. That day Mr. S. A. Hemphill
left Newport with her son, Mack, at seven
o'clock in the morning, with a single rig.
