Dr. Diven was up from Newport last Monday to visit Mrs. S. W Potter. He stated to us that this lady's broken leg was healing in good shape and that in a few days she would be able to leave her bed Considering the serious nature of this fracture, and the fact that the unfortunate lady is well along in years,, she has been a remarkably lucky patient. The Corvallis Gazette of last week published a story to the' ffect that the man John Henderson, who was reported lost nt the Smimit, was not lost, but voluntarily desert ed his family. It relates a story of abuse and wrong done his wife and family by Henderson. The general impression here, and so far as we can learn at the Summit, is that Henderson has met his death in the mountains. A gentleman writing from Marys ville, California, says: "At the time the Hoard of Trade of San Fran cisco had an excursion on the Steam er Willamette Valley, I passed through your place. I regret that I did not stop off at Toledo. Would you be so kind as to send me a copy M" your paper and oblige."

The remains ot Mr. Mosier were interred in the Elk City cemetery last Friday. The matter of a creamery at this place ' is progressing favorably. The committee having the matter in charge have three separate par ties interested in the subject. The purpose of the committee now is to get the propositions of .the various parties submitted in writing, and then accept the one that will be the most advantageous to our people. The progress made in this matter is a good indication of what the people can do when they get an united movement in one direction. John Henderson is dead, through either accidental or foul means, If there ever was a time when a paper should be thoroughly and complete ly ashamed of itself that tir.z has come for the Corvallis Gazette. With poor John Henderson's body lying cold and still in the lonely woods of the mountains, the Ca zette jumped 111 ai)d published an article shameful iu its character, and one that cannot help but deep ly lacerate the feelings of the rela tives of the deceased. The Gazette sought to be sensational, and it was. We furnish to our readers this week an all home print paper. While the paper is not so large as formerly, it gives more local and county news. Owing to delay iu receiving some expected material the paper is not so complete this week as we hoped to make it. We will try and make the paper more interesting than ever before. As concerns expenses, we will probab ly be the loser a little for a time, jai wo v.;,. ,.:s ca.i. fa;.: c; paying the most of the money out at home instead o( sending it away to Portland. The farmers of the vicinity were to meet at the school house at Chit wood last night to organige a farm ers' club. The object of this club will be, so we are informed, to act in any matter that may come up in a manner that will be universally and mutually beneficial. They will endeavor to create markets foi their piolucts, and find the best market iu which to purchase their supplies, etc. At their meetings from time to time they will discu ss any and all subjects that are of mutual in terest. It seems to us that a com bination of farmers acting together in an intelligent manner would be much benefit to all.

Word comes from Corvallis that Pryor Scott, an old time resident of Benton county is missing, and it is fearedy that he has committed suicide. He has been very despon dent of late, having been much worried by financial troubles.

Reports come from the whole coast of damage done to ship ping and wharves, On Yaquina Bay the storm was very severe. The wind blew from the southwest and the waves rolled mountain high. The tide of Sunday was the highest that has been known for years. At Newport the average tide is about six or seven feet, but the tide of Sunday was said to have risen thirteen feet, Considerable damage was done to the wharves and bulkheads, both at Newport and Yaquina. It began to look lor a while as though the long ex pected tidal wave had come. The extremely high tide was caused by the strong southwest wind piling the water up. The bar at the mouth of the Bay was in an ex tremely rough condition, and has continued so since Monday. The South Coast, which was due a week ago, is still out. The South Coast would stand in during the day, but at night would put to sea. The bar for a mile out has been a solid mass of foam. Dispatches tell of a schooner going to pieces on the rocks near Tillamook. The storm was a very severe one and the sea faring people do not want to see it repeated. You Can, Hay At J. H.

The body of John Henderson, the man who has been lost for several days was found by Frank Yantis about'six miles southwest of Sum mit, in Lincoln county, today. ' ' It was found at a place where they sometimes take stand for deer. It is supposed at this time that he came to his death by an accidental discharge of his own gun.

The California potato market has again taken a slump, but it is thought to be only temporary. There is an undoubted shortage in the potato crop on the coast, par ticularly in California, and it is thought that potatoes will be a fair price by Februaiy 1st. At the present prices it does not pay to ship. Yesterday there were two parties from Drift creek appeared at the county clerk s office and tried to file on the same piece ot government laud. Clerk Jones did not think himself thoroughly advised in the matter and refused both filings. Bpth parties will appear before the clerk with witnesses next Friday and again submit the matter. A correspondent of the Roseburg Review tells an interesting story about a herd of wild cattle now foaming the mountains between Rogue river and the south fork of the Umpqua. Such a herd has ex isted, he says, for '20 years past, and now numbers in the neighbor hood of 500 cattle. They are wild as deer and difficult of approach The practical harm they work is that gentle cattle belonging to wild band. It is proposed now to round them up and kill them, if some equitable agreement can be reached as to the ownership of the recent additions and the disposition of the remainder. For Sale.
