Negotiations that hae been nnder way for same time, between Revs. Martin Bur lingame aad Mr. and Mrs. Max Friendly for aa exchange of property were consumma ted Taesday. and bow Mr. Burlingame is the owner of the Friendly residence in this eity. - The consideration iu the deed was 91,500. The exchange was made for prop rty U Albino. A burning flu in a house adjoining the old Times office, brought out -the depart ment Sunday evening about nine o'clock. Before the firemen hadtime to gel a stream of water onto the flames the supports to the flue gave way, allowing it to fall. This ex tinguished the fire and averted what other -w':S might have been a serious blaze. Several members of Co. F., O. N. G. were passengers to Newport yesterday.

Next Sunday t'jey will give a skirmish drill on the beaoh. The excursion to Newport last Suuiay, waa in all respects a suocess. It was per haps the most liberally patronized excursion in the history of the company, and the crowd so far exceeded expectation that the cars were jammed to their fullest capacity. Next Sunday the company will run another of its popular Sunday excursions and Man ager Stone says that arrangements have bseu made for ample aacommodations. Ed. Scott was released from custody yesterday afternoon on bonds furnished by Hon. T. H. Cooper, Wilson Scott and Sarah Stewart. The two former justified in the sum of $ 1,500 each.

Walker has returned to America, and is now in New York. lie writes from there to relatives in this city that he has employment with the well known firm of Munn & Co., publishers of the Scientific American. Mr. Walker is employed in the draughting department, and also on the editorial staff of the paper. As a draughts man, Mr. Walker has few equals, and with his long experience and originality in this line of work be will form a valuable acquisi tion to the leading scientific journal of Amer ica. Mr. Walker is:-the originator and patentee of a boltless rail joint that has re ceived considerable favorable comment by engineering journals. When once put in, this joint requires no care or maiotenanc. It has attracted much attention among rail road men of the east, where it is quite ex tensively used. Jack Mayo is the king of cranks. His present eccentricity is a bicycle, and he has been crowned king of cycling and emperor of wheelmen, and the crowning, which oc curred Monday evening before a large and appreciative audience, left a few scratches and bruises that will tarry with him yet awhile. Like the little ostrich, Jack is a brimiug fount of information that responds to every call," but when the wheels in his head get to going 'round and 'round, faster than the wheels of his machine, his crown is in danger of being npset. This was the trouble the other night. The wheels in his think dome got to going at such a lightning rapidity that he lost his equilibrium and took a header, much to the amusement of the aforesaid audience. Since then Jack has carried one eye in a sling, has one leg bandaged and walks with a cane. He will probably not be able to ride again befr re uext spring. . j A. J. Ray, representing J. M. Russell & Co., Portland hop buyers, who has been visiting his family at Newport, passed through Corvallis this week.. Mr. Ray is working industriously to build up a trade for hops, and through his efforts a number of large orders have been re ceived from brewers in Australia. Seven months ago the crop in the east gave evidence of being almost a failure, and everything indicated that hops would go to twenty cents per pound. Since then, however, the weather has been more fa vorable and the prospeets for an average crop are indeed flattering. This has had the effect of weakening the market, end as hops are not a staple commodity, the price will probably be low. Mr. Ray says the present status of the market will not justify buyers in offering over 8 or 9 cents. He thinks possibly the price may go to ten cents, but believes that will be the outside figure for an extra choice article. Wm. M. Hoag has been in Oregon sev eral days on business of a private nature. Last week ha took a trip over the O. C. & E. to Yaquina, where he has extensive real estate holdings, and while in Lincoln county paid taxes for himself and associ ates amounting to about $1,400. Tues day, in company with C. C. Hogue, he called on Sheriff Osburn and before leaving, drew his check for $1,267.91 in full of taxes to date upon the property assessed to Geo. S. Coe, trustee. Mr. Hoag, since leaving Oregon something over two years ago, has been attending strictly to business affairs in San Fran cisco. He is regarded as one of the ablest and shrewdest financiers of Cali fornia, where by his energy and careful management ha has accumulated a for tune. Though well advanced in years, Mr. Hoag is as active and indefatigable worker, and appears as vigorous and sprightly as he did in 1884, when he as sumed the management of the Oregon Pacific. To The Seaside.

The finder will be reward ed by returning same to Bert Bowersox. IN RAILROAD CIRCLES. Matters of Interest Pertainiag to Improvements and Fu ture O. C. & E. Plans. The Oregon Central & Eastern people are contemplating immediate extensive improve ments. Orders are already iu for 750,000 feet of lumber, besides a great number ol ties. This will keep all the mills u Hi'.; line busy for some time running at their fullest capacity. Men are being employed i s f as additional help is required, and from the number of applicants on file the company will have plenty of material to choose from, The engines and other rolling stock are be ing repaired and put in first class shape Mr. Hammond is still busily engaged with his Astoria road, but Mr. Stoue keeps l:iin fully informed as to matters at this end of the line. Mr. Stone says that Superintend ent Clark has just completed an estimate of the eost of putting the road and equipment in first-class coudition. He thinks that it will require 150,000 and that tht work might be completed in ten months or less. When a Gazette representative called at the office the other day, looking for an item. Manager Stone had lust finished writing Mr. Ham moad a detailed statement of the condititions and prospects. He enthusi astically favors the beginning of work at once on the extension to Independence pra,i rie, which would add greatly to the business of the road. Mr. Stone is confident that the people of Crook county would build a wa gon road to the end of track immediately, and has so written Mr. Hammond. The importance of begiuning the work at an early date is pointed out in order that the road may be in a position to handle next eeason's wool crop. The hauling distance from Prineville to railroad at Independence prairie would be reduced fully 00 miles, which Mr. Stone feels certain would causa the bulk of the wool crop, amounting to about 3,000,000 pounds annually, to find a market via the O. C. & E. Mr. Stoue calls attention in his letter to the discriminating tariff of the Southern Pa cific, claiming that it is proving a disadvan tage to shippers as well as to the O. C. & E. Before the confirmation of the sale by the supreme court to Messrs Bonner & Ham mond, Mr. Stone called upon Manager Kell er, ot the S. P., with a view to securing more favorable tariff arrangements, but the latter gentleman wished to defer the matter until the then pending litigation was set tled. He indicated, so Mr. Stoue says, that a more satisfactory arrangement might then be had. Since the confirmation, however, he has absolutely refused to make any re ductions on O. C. & E. freight. A further annoyance and expense is caused the O. C. & E. by the refusal of the S. P. Co. to ad vance charges of the former on freight con signed to points on the S. P., causing the O. C. & E. to appoint agents iu the several towns to collect from its patrons the charges from San Francisco to Albany or Corvallis, where the freight has been rebilled. In view of these disadvantages Mr. Stoue urges the building to Engeue aud Salem of branch lines at an early date. He writes Mr. Hammond that San Francisco is a bet ter market than Portland for valley tovras, aud that the U. U. & li. can control the bus iness if put in a position to do so. To this end he recommends that the company's river boats be repaired and put into use as soon as the river is at a boating stage. Al ready bids have been received for the re pairing of the boats and it i3 likely that work on them will begin soon. Mr. J. C. Stratton, who is interested with Mr. Hammond iu the Astoria enterprise, passed ever the road last week in company with Manager Stone and visited Eugene. He seemed very much pleased with the out look. It was their intention to drive over the line between this city and Eugene, bnt owing to the dense smoke this trip was de ferred to a more onportune time. The proposed Eugene extension was taken np by Mr. Stoue at considerable length. He advises its immediate construction. The people of Eugene, Junction aud Monroe are anxious for the road and show a disposi tion to aid the enterprise in a substantial way, providing a beginning of the work is not long deferred. It is probable that Mr. Hammond will visit Eugene in the near fu ture and lay before her citizens a proposi tion for their consideration. Should it be accepted the people living along the propos ed line and in this city should co-operate with the citizens of Eugene in securing the right of way aad in any other mannet possi ble aid in getting the deal consummated. The building of this branch would materi ally increase the traffic of the road, and, together with the other improvements con templated, Mr. Stone thinks it would en able the company to operate two" ships the size of tne l'arallon, and furnish them all the tonnage the'y could handle'. For years the people of this section have earnestly endeavored to induce the Southern Pacific to complete its proposed line to Eugene, but their efforts have signally failed. There is large fertile country between the rievr and the foothills, lying along the proposed line Eugene, that will furnish a volume of trade sufficient to justify the building of the road, and its construction will prove a boon to the section through which it would tra verse. Owing to the discriminations made against the people of Eugene by the South ern Pacific, and that company's refusal te bnild its extension south from Corvallis, a feeling of retaliation has been engendered all along the line, that will prove of immense advantage to Mr. Hammond in his negotia tions. . For two years past the merchants of Eugene shipped from San Francisco to Corvallis, and from here had their freight hauled to its destination by teams. Natur ally this had the effect of fostering an an tag unism to the Southern Pacific that will place it xt a disadvantage in seenriris business should Mr. Hammond build a competing line. And be must see that his interests will be best served by immediate action. The people have been waiting until their patience has become pretty nearly exhausted and now is the time for action while every one is in the mood to help the enterprise along. The road eould be built to Eugene this fall if the proper spirit is shown, but no time can be lost in getting started. '. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World's Pair Highest Medal and Diploma. . BACKED OFF A BRIDGE. An accident, that only a miracle prevent ed from being attended with fatal, results, occurred at Lon Henkle's place near Philo math last Saturday evening. Wm.' Haines, an employe of Mr. Henkle, was returning home in a hack, and while crossing a bridge over Marys river the horses frightened and backed off the bridge. Mr. Henkle's two little girls, who were in the vehicle, were ! ihrowu out and fall onto a had of trravl ar.d boulders eighteen fset below. o Ada Henk'.e, aged 9, received a compound fracture of the left thigh; both fore arms were 'also fractured. Besides these injuries she received a severe eut below her left eye. Mamie, the other child, aged 5, was badly bruised about the face and received a single fracture of her right thigh, upper third. One of the horses was killed instantly, but the other escaped without iujury, as did also the hack. The accident was witnessed by Thos. Mason who assisted in removing the children to the' house. Drs. Farra, of Cor vallis, and Loggan, of Philomath, were sum moned and soon had the fractures reduced. ACCUSED OF STEALING BEDDING. Milton Taylor was arraigued before Jus tice Wilson, Tuesday morning, upon a charge of laraeucy of some bedding, preferred by George J. Emrick. After the warrant had been issued, Taylor, who waa off with a threshing crew, became sie'i and returned to Einrick's house where he w.is cared for. At the examination he admitted having ta ken the bedding, but claimed no crime bad been committed, because the goods were taken in the presence of the Emrick family. The justice thought the prisoner had been wronged, or else he was an artful liar, and although he was inclined to the latter belief, there was not sufficient evidence adduced to warrant holding him to await the action of the grand jury, so he was discharged to prevent further cost. Suspicion rested up- on Taylor as being the party who set fire to the Kendal barn during last month, and it was thought that at the examination some evidence of his connection with that crime would be brought out, but efforts on this line were unsuccessful. The justice was not pleased with Emrick's attitude in the mat ter and was inclined to tax the costs to him. He, however, did not fail to administer a severe reprimand to both the prisoner and witness. After his release from custody, Taylor was put through a sweating process by Deputy Sheriff Skipton. Ia this inter view he showed considerable tact, but was compelled to admit some thiegs of a damag ing charactor, although insufficient evideuce was unearthed to warrant his detention on another charge. CHARGED WITH ARSON. , Ed Bier, who, several years ago iu part nership with Lee Henkle, conducted a un store in this city, is under arrest in Port land charged with arson. Regarding his latest difficulty the Oregonian of Tuesday morning has the following: Edward Bier, a married man, living at Sellwood, was taken in custody yesterday in the afternoon by Detective Ho'sapple and Patrolman Hudson, on a charge of arson, and is now held a prisoner iu the central police station. On Sunday night a blacksmith shop was set afire, but the fl uues were discovered in time to prevent any damage being doue. At the time of the fire, Bier was found lying in the grass by J. W. Harrigan and L. H. Audrewr, about 20 feet from the fhop, and he was suspected as the one setting fire to the place; the more so when it was discovered that some tools owned by Bier, that were in the shop, had been removed. Later in the night a small, unoccupied house, owned by Mr. McNulty, was destroyed by fire. The buildiug is in the same block on which Bier lives, and it is thought that he also set this place on fire. Bier is a gunsmith by trade, and a number of years ago lived iu Salem. While there he belonged to a gang of hood lums whose greatest delight seemed to be the setting of some barn on fire, just to see the engines run. Bier was arrested on a charge of arson, but escaped punishment by forfeiting his bail, furnished by his father, and afterward the case was dismissed. Of late, Bier has been working in a brickyard, at Sell wood. He has two children, I ut separated from his wife some time ago. He will likely be arraigued in the municipal court today. PROUD OF OREGON. It only requires a trip east to convince a resident of Oregon that his state has greater possibilities than any other, and that the Willamette valley is truly the garden spot of the United States. Last Thursday F. A. Alexander returned from an extended busi ness trip to eastern cities, among them being Chicago. Cleveland, New York, Phil adelphia, and Boston. Everywhere he found people inquiring about Oregon, and Mr. Alexander feels certain that the next few years will bring many sew .settlers to the state. The World's Columbian Exposi tion, he thinks, accomplished much toward bringing the state to the . fore, especially with regard to her frnit interests. Oregon fruit is no longer taking seoond place in the eastern market, but is selling on telegraphic advices before its arrival at fancy prices. And not only is the fruit from this state superior to that of other states in points of flavor, size and general appearance, but in its keeping qualities as well. During Mr. Alexander's stay in New York the thermometer registered from 104 to 108 dogrees in the shade, causiug him to often sigh for the cool breezes and invigora ting ehrpate of the Willamette valley. While in New York Mr. Alexander bought extensively for the fall trade. He is the only customer, in this coanty, of the cele- brated house of Chas. Broadway Rousse, which is perhaps the largest merchandising establishment in the world. B -sides his wholesale house in New York, where is employed 700 clerks, Mr. Rousse has branches in mauy of the principal cities of the world. . Mr. Alexander says that business shows a marked improvement throughont the east. Manufacturers are increasing the wages of their employes and are also increasing their force of operatives. Money is easier and confidence is being gradually restored. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder Awarded Gold Medal Midwinter Fair, San Fraacisco. VACATION JOTTINGS. - Sounds from the Sea. A Dash of Spray Fresh from Old Ocean. "Better late than never" is a very con venient, if not consistent, old adagn. My intention has been to write a few notes to your many readers, long ere this, but when a minister goes away to rest and recuperate, the pressure of inactivity aud indolence of ten prevent much correspondence, aud his pen is almost forgotten. BaS the Gazette and friends at home have not been out of mind for even a day. At our cottage every week, we have welcomed most gladly the tidings from Corvallis, and the regios round about, brought to us by the pleasant visitor the Corvallis Gazette. We thank yon, dear old friend, for the news from home so kiudly given us, and wish you abundant prosperity. Once more for a few weeks we have been sojourning at our Ocean View cottage, a lit tle south of the famous Nye Creek. There are very few chaages at Newport, and its surroundings, except here and there a new cottage and an improved sidewalk. There is as much sand and wind as ever and the roads are as rough and the hills as steep as ten j eara ago. The possibilities of this place to become the most popular summer resort on the northwest coast are as great as ever. The reality, however, is rather slow iu be ias manifest. Today we sit at our wiudow and look out upon the Pacific tvhoss breezes are as invisible, balmy aud iuvigoratiug as ever, and whoso tossing waves are as rest less as the sweeping winds and strong cur rents cau make them. Sometimes the great, grand ocean lashes like one vast mantle of blue fringed with flowing folds of white, as the dashing billows break iu foaming laugh ter- on the rock-bouud beach. Now aud then a steamer, sailing vessel and fishinr craft move to and fro upon the watery deep. Familiar aud unfamiliar faces meet us on every side. Children sport in the sand and play in the water, for women aud children abound this year. Age aud youth, beauty and ugliness, modesty and rudeness mingle an the broad walk aud bathe in the surf. The bloomer girl displays herself more than is really necessary, while the young urchius, half -frightened, cry out"Who comes here?" Sitting in front of us is a contemplative looking man, with gray hair aud the evi deuces of care about him, gazing intently and thoughtfully upon the sea. - Alongside of him is the attentive nurse keeping guard over a noisy, stirring child, while the mother, dressed in gay bathing robes, is flopping in the tide. Near by are two men seemingly more absorbed ia what is published in their newspaper, than in the crowd that ate wash ing themselves in the salt, surging sea. The weather has been so cold of late, that almost all of the bathers, as they emerge from the water, have the appearance of the poor child after its mother had given it a severe spanking. Iu another direction there is a sweet family picture. The father, stretched out upon the saud, in turn enter tains wife and babe. The mother acts as if there were none so dear to her as he who ministers so kindly and responsively to her comfort and enjoyment; aud while W3 are looking, there comes that ever interesting object the atteutive young man and the receptive maiden, who are all unconscious that anyone is behind them, and who see nothing before them, but a happy, loving present and a hopeful, joyful future. But we did not think to write of persons and events so much in this letter, as to speak of the real pleasure and health we have gained the past month. Men and women from far and near have gathered here and our own beautiful little. city of Corvallis has had many representatives among the happy throng. We have been glad to wel come so many of our worthy citizens. The diguified old gentleman and the spectacled old lady; the middle-aged gent and his growing family around him, making music in the air, and the young married couple with the babe of a few months iu their arms are all down on the beach searching for water agates this morning, while on the rock yonder sits a maiden artist of 40 summers, sketching the touching scene. These are all from Corvallis college and school, put pit and pew, shop and store, office and bank, parlor, kitchen and cradle are all represent ed, and the picture is indeed beautiful. And yet there is no picture like this big, blue ocean on whose shore we all gather. Far away the sobbing sea sweeps the hori zon, while the unfettered waters sick and swell, flow and flash in the sun's warm rays. Then some shouts "There goes the ship !" and we think of the ship in the offin;r, whither bound and how laden. There are ships that went to sea many, many years ago, They have not camo back to me, but are sailing to and fro. They remind me f the gulls, fl-, ing low, flying low. Their sails shall ne'er again be furled In this fitful, fleeting world; They have reached the peaceful shore, Where the billows chafe no more, And they dwell within the shadow of the throne evermore, evermore. Oh, the mind as well as tho body gains rest and health and vigor amid such scenes and in such air as one breathes on this shore at Nye beach. It makes living a luxury and existence a delight. It needs no praise to pioture its healthfulness and no poetry to intensify its charms. If once visited, it will be mirrored iu the fountain waters of in' m ory for many, many days. Tom Moore, while in one of his poetic flights, tells us that the broken, vase retains the scent of the rose3 th.it oC3 adorned its chasfened lip. So in like manner the tour ist carries the ozone of the ocean beaclrwith him to places far remote. Newport is a healthful place, hence it is a happy place, for health brings happiness. Chcti fulness becomes infectious here. There is some thing in the very atmosphere that fosters and encourages it. We lauH because we are happy, and the dimples in these bluffs and nil's are fitted with fresh water smiles, giving cheer and comfort and hope to the weary, the sick and suffering. As an ocean home, we know of uone better than New port 011' Yaqnina bay. More anon," T. KINGS VAT,I,EY HAPPENINGS. We noted no items, from this place, and think possibly there might be some happeL- ings of interest here, so we endeavor to give you the news from here fresh and crisp; but the present state of the atmosphere prevents us from doing so this time, so you will be compelled to accept of smoked items from here for a time at least. . iiiresuing is in full blast. Urain is re ported as being of extra quality, and is yield ing more to the acre than was expected. There will be over 60,000 bushels of grain iu this valley this year; the farm of Richard Dunn alone producing over 7,000 bushels. Mr. J. H. Stine and Miss Reatha Allen returned from Corvallis Saturday, where they had been for the past three days at tending teaouers . examination. We are glad to report both passed, and Reatha can now bo considered a full-fledged "school marm. " J. S. Uarbia built a new boat that is a daisy, so Bud Aloorn says. Mr. and Mrs. it. Rodgers, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Harbin and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Miller went to Newport on the excursion Sunday, and all report a grand time. Wanted, a cow that will stand perfectly still while being milked, will not light other cows, and will run some other way than over you when another cow runs at her. Any color will suit except black. Any per son having such a cow will do well to call on our enterprising miller. H. T. Maxfield had 10 acres of wheat which yielded 353 bushels of clean wheat. This is the best yield we know of so far. Rev. Thos. Yost and J. P. Isabcll say that they do not like eggs unless they cost $1 50 per dozen. Born, to the wife of Lincoln Allen, on August lGt'.i, a daughter. Both mother aud child are doing well. Mr. Larken Price jr. returned to this vicinity the past week from Dayton, Wash ington. He reports times very hard in Dayton, and seemed glad to get back to old "Webfoot," The new United Evangelical church is nearing completion and is a model structure 43x32 feet, 16 feet ten inches from floor to ceilin" and 63 feet from the ground to the point of spire on steeple. It is built ac cording to the latest improved styles of archetecture, including gothic windows, etc. It is a structure which any community or religious denomination should be proud of, and especially when it was built during such hard times, and we understand when com pleted it will be perfectly free from debt. Dedication services will be held about Oct. Tat. Keso, SCHOOL FUND APPORTIONMENT. The schools of Bsnton county are in a better financial condition than was expected.
