J. B. 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.

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. '.

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.

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.

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.

ment of the nerve centers supply ing these 01
pans with nerve fluid or force. This Is likewise?
frue of many diseases of the heart and lungs?
