Sturgill, of Baker City, who is traveling for the Fraternal Union of America, a new insurance society, was in Corvallis Wednesday, on his way to Southern Oregon. Mr. J. Turner, formerly with the C. B. & Q. Railroad," is now employed as assistant to Mr. J. C. Mayo, in the traffic department of the O. C. & E. Mr. Turner is an energetic man and wilj do the company good service. As will be noticed in their advertise ment, the S. P. R. West side train that ran between McMinnville and Portland, will hereafter run between Independence and Portland, taking in all stations. This will be a great accomodation to the Independence people, and they will r.o doubt appreciate it. Congressmen Tongue was in Corvallis, after his visit to Yaquina. Bay, and seemed roost earnest and enthusiastic, in his de termination to do all in his power to further the interests of the harbor inv nrovemeiil at- that dace. In no other I a way can he so surely earn the gratitude of the people in the Willamette. Valley. The Franklin . Machine and Foundry Co. is "composed of men who are each an expert in his line and any work done by them will be sure to be well done. One of the firm is a first class plunimer, and Is now engaged doing some pipe work at thecollet?e. Brine, voitr work in now . when there is time to give it proper at tention. . Smith and Horning have two carloads of cattle at the bay which will be shipped to Portland on Monday. They have also bought the Foster cattb, 35 h posed to be the fiuest cattle in the county, and will ship them about Dec. 1st. Smith and Horning have' distributed a good many thousand dollars among the farmers here in the last year. The entertainment given by the ladies of the Presbyterian Church at th : opera house on Wednesday - evening was a errand success. Although the weather was unusually severe, the hall was crowd ed and everyone enjoyed themselves. The result must 1 ave been a snug little sum added to the fund for which these Chnstun women were laboring, and it is a pleasure to rote it. The following . letter received by tln Chief of Police here, explains itself.: Suver, Or., Nov. 12. '97. Dear Sir: My store was broken into last night and some overalls, tobac co, razors, knives, scissois, etc. were taken, for the purpose (I would suppo e) of seh;ng them. Please keep a lookout for him; He seems to be above the ordinary footpad, because he never dis turbed the money that was in the P. O. department. R. W. Swink. The Ore (rouian. In an advertisement elsewhere it will be seen that we offer the Weekly Oregon ian and the OREGON UNION both to one address for the small sum of $1.75 a year in advance. The Weekly Oregon ian will give you all the news of the state, the nation and the world, while the Union will give you all the county news, and in no other way can you pos sibly get this so cheap. The Oregonian needs no recommendation at our hands, and the Union too, speaks for itself We wish to say one thing with reference to ourselves. Enemies of the Union are circulating the report that it is only a temporary affair, and will not last. - This is false. We have the best newspaper office in the county; it is entirely out of debt and Is already on a paying basis. It came here to stay, and the encourage ' ment we have already received has - placed its future success beyond a doubt. It's subscription price alone is $1 a year, in advance, or $1.75, in advance, will get the Weekly Oregonian and the Union for one year to one address. .

Smith went over to Yaquira Bay this week on business, and will re turn Saturday. District Attorney Yates was in Albany Tuesday attending to business connected with his office. Chief Wells arrested two men on Saturday for, violation of city laws and added $10 to the city revenue. Our old friend, J. Blower, Of Yaquina Bay, with his wife, have been in town' for a few days visiting their daughter. Hon. W. R. Ellis, our congressman from tire second district, was in town Saturday on his way to Yaquina Bay. The Chief of Police wants you to be ready with your dollar to pay dog tax on Monday; so get a dollar or sell your dog. Dr. J. T. Lee of. Independence who was a member of the last legislature died suddenly at his home on Tuesday last, Mary's Peak was covered with snow Sunday last and the chilly blasts . from that quarter cooled the-Alaska fever in many a fellow's brain. G- W. Davis, a prominent politician of Salem and the proprietor of the Pioneer quarry in Lincoln county, came to town on Monday's steamboat, Albany. Miss.Mollie Bergin left for California on Wednesday last.. She will spend the winter with friends in the southern part of that state, where . they have perpetual sunshine. C. Schmidt left for Portland on Mon-' day to arrange for his trip to Skaguay next "February. Some of the material and supplies that he will take along will be manufactured to order. J. N,- Brandeberry who was so un fortunate as to permanently injure both his wrists in a fall some weeks ago, has gone to San Francisco to consult special ists. We earnestly hope he may get the relief he looks for. . . Corvallis was well filled with showmen and-others last Sunday, and they hugged the stove pretty closely, as it was a cold day. If the recording' angel works Sundays, he was busy all day on the yarns these fellows told. 43 ladies and about 7 gentlemen rep. resenting the Degree of Honor lodge of Albany paid a fraternal visit to their sisters here last Thursday. They had a joyous time and about 1 o'clock in the morning returned by special train. James Murchison, of Edinboro, Scot land was in Corvallis this week. He has been making a tour of the weJt, and as he had heard of the Willamette Valley wanted to see it. He speaks in the highest terms ot what he has seen of it. The Chief of Police had a man in charge last Sunday who was a mystery. He appeared to be deaf and dumb but for many reasons this was doubted. The fellow was very likely playing a part, and he may be one of, the fellows who are holding up people in the country just now. Walt L. Smith, for many years em ployed in the mechanical department of the O. P. and O. C. & E. railroad, was in town on Saturday. Walt is about to leave the bay to reside permanently on his farm near Halsey. in Linn county. We know of no one who will be so badly missed at Yaquina. Our old friend M. J. Alphin was nom inated for city marshal of Toledo by the , citizens of that stiiring town, and no better selection could have been made. Jack is an allround good man, and as faithful and trustworthy as any man we ever met. He will no doubt be elected. and will perform his duties well. Well we remember when telegraph dispatches first reached Yaquina Bay over a line built by Col. Hogg. Ticks from this wire have made men's hearts bound with joy and often the reverse of this; but the old line has got down to routine business and there will be no more of this. The Western Union Co. have lately added it to their system. There are a couple of robbers travel ing through this part of the county lately that some good citizen ought to shoot. A store at Suver was broken into and robbed of goods valued at $60, and the Chinese railroad hands at Wrenn were robbed of $90 in money. Farmers wives throughout the country who are often alone are terrified; they ought to arm themselves. Now that the siege of office seekers is raised, our congressmen are devoting the few remaining days before they return to their labors at Washington to looking after the interests of the people. On Saturday last Congressmen Tongue and Ellis,' accompanied by 25 prominent men from Linn, Lane, Marion, Benton and Polk counties, made a trip to Yaquina Bay. The object of the visit was to luminal i.e themselves with the con ditions at - that place and gather all available data relative to the improvement of the bay. After an easy and pleasant ride over the road.'which was iri-eplendid condition, the party arrived at Elk City; where a number of people were gathered who made lond calls for Tongue and Ellis. Nothing loath, the congressmen of j stepped to the platform and Tongue had I got a3 far as "My fellow citizens I am glad to see you" when the bell tingled and the conductor who is something of a wag pulled out and left the crowd cheer ing for more talk, while the two speakers each with a speech a yard long sticking out of his mouth returned to their seats to meet their laughing companions. When Toledo was reached several hun dred of the population were gathered in the streets and around the station. Formal demand for the distinguished visitors was made by the Mayor, and again our congressmen stepped to the front, this time it was no trifling matter; dignity was given to the occasion by the presence of many ladies, who with a few appropriate words by one of the number, presented each congressman with an elegant boquet. At the request of the mayor and in response to loud calls from the citizens,' Mr. Tongue improved the short stay to assure them in a few earnest words that the Oregon Delegation were a unit in its labors for the improvement of Yaquina Bay ; he assured them that the improvement so long and faithfully labored for by Dolph, Mitchell and Her man should not cease through any lack of labor and attention which it was pos sible for his colleagues and himself to give it. "We are a unit, gentlemen, in this matter," he said, "and fully realize the immense importance of the deepen ing of the channel into this bay. It is not the producers of Oregon alone who are interested ' here; Washington, Idaho, Montana, the whole west ccast and even the Atlantic states cannot be indifferent to it. It means another harbor of refuge to the distressed mariner, another port of entry, another outlet for a great in terior to the highways of the world.'' When the train arrived at Yaquina a steamer was in waiting which carried the passengers to Newport, where the Ocean House furnished ample accomodations for all. A meeting had been arranged for by the citizens and the large hall was well filled. Dr. J. R. Bayley,. the veteran pioneer of the bay, was called to the chair and the congressmen were in vited to address the meeting.. Mr. Tongue spoke first and in his usual earnest style held the attention of the audience while he explained that the people of Oregon as well as 'their representatives, had a work to do in order to secure the one million dollar appropriation for the harbor. "We will work for you," he said, -'but you must strengthen our hands. If you content yourselves with requesting us to improve your rivers and harbors we may fail to meet your ex pectations. The people - of Oregon are interested in the improvement of Ya quina harbor and you must help us to make that interest felt at Washington. Do not allow d ivision of effort to occur through scheming politicians but let us all work together for the state of Oregon and the great northwest." Ellis spoke next in his usual hearty and convincing style. He showed that he was fully alive to the importance of the work nnder consideration. He said his home being in Eastern Oregon made no difference in his interest in Yaquina Bay. He de clared the whole state should be aroused, and if necessary should assault the Secretary of War with facts and figures until he let the contract provided for by congress for the improvement of Yaquina harbor. He was repeatedly cheered, and all felt that he would earnestly and ably labor for the -improvement of the bay as well as every other material interest of Oregon. Judge Burnett spoke next. The Judge is always a sound reasoner and eloquent speaker. On this occasion he excelled himself and was frequently applauded. Colonel Mon tague, the populist orator of Linn, spoke next, and in well formed, clear cut sentences he covered the subject in hand, and pledged the support of the populists for any measure to deepen and improve the channel through which may some day enter the commerce of the world. VARIETY OF SUBJECTS Of Especial Interest to An Exacting Public. Slot Machines. The nickel-in-the slot machine case came up before the City Recorder. A demurer was entered by the defendants on account of a faulty complaint. The demurer was overruled and the defend ants fined $20, and costs. The parents of this city ask that the city council sus tain its officers in their, efforts to sup press the slot machine. It is a device to teach children to gamble, and they don't want it. Since 'writing the above, the case has gone to the circuit ceurt on appeal. A Lonely Boy. The only prisoner now in the county jail is a boy net .yet come to the age of manhood. He is there, accused of serious crime committed in Lincoln county-. The awful loneliness of his situation, as he sits eating his heart out with vain regrets, and listens to the town clock over . his head as it lolls off the hours of his life is fearful to ccn template; while before him may only be a term in a living tomb at the penitentiary; and how easy it might all have been otherwise If there is any man or woman on earth who contributed in the smallest degree, to this young man's downfall, he or she ought to have an uneasy feeling where their heart used to be ; for in the great reckoning he may take "a : higher seat than they. Hotel Change. H. M. Brunk has purchased a half interest in the Occidental Hotel, and the business will hereafter be ruii by Schmidt and Brunk. No better arrangement could possibly befmade, as Mr. Schmidt has a business established at Skaguay Alaska that will claim part of his atten tion. Mr. crunk is an old hotel man with large experience, and well acquainted with the traveling public; so in the future the hotel will be kept up to its first class reputation. ; Where Mr. Brunk is best known he has a host of friends who will all rejoice to see him settled in business amongst them. onundrum But one that is easily guessed. .

A. C, regulation S. L. Kline. A Fitting- Memorial. (Communicated.) Any retrospective view of the past will bring to mind thoughts of other days, which, whether filled with pleasing or sorrowful memories, softened by-time, bring us nearer to those whom we have lived among, and w ho have contributed to our own welfare or unhappmess, as the occasion has '-given rise. As the poet says: ' : "Alls sustained by elemental strife. And passions iire'llie elements of life." 'These reflections have been occasioned by a picture which through the courtesy of the County Clerk, Mr. V. E. Walters, we were shown a few days since, and the sentiment impressed on one while beholding it, naturally leads to a retro spective view of Benton's judicial history the last quarter of a century or more. It is a group composed of the former County Judges, ot Benton County, resid ing in Corvallis, and ,. of the veteran County Clerk, B. W. Wilson, whose term of thirty consecutive y ears extended through all the terms of the Judges repre sented in the picture. Judge Holgate occupies the foreground, and' Judges Burnett and McFadden are seated near, while Tudee Hufford, the present in cumbent, is standing; and this attitude strikes one as being appropriate, in that the Judge, in whose keeping is entiusted the supervision, of estates left by those who are taken away from the protection of widows and orphans, should be ever figuratively standing there, ready to prevent their substance from being de voured by any of the human wolves always to be found prowling about, seek' ing to line their own nests through the ignorance or confidence of the unsuspect ing and unprotected. The picture is incomplete and of this Mr. Watters expressed his regret; and in this he will be joined by the entire com munity. Judges, Kelsay and Bryson are not there, and any represention of the last twenty ' years of Benton County's judicial history without those two familiar forms, must be incomplete. Who will fail to remember the kindly greeting of Judge Brysonwhose strong personality, deep insight into human nature, and clear legal mind, left constantly the im pression of a pushing, influential man. Who will forget the classical tendencies of Col. Kelsay, to whom the study of Tacitus, Pericles, Demosthenes, and Cicero were such a delight. It reflects credit upon Mr. Watters, that he shows this re erent spirit, and, while it is yet time, he has left a memorial in his office which wili not only be of interest to succeeding generations, but an agreeable reminder of old .and esteemed friends by many a man who shall drop into the Clerks' office within the next decade. The foundry people desire to say that Saturday is the special day set apart for sharpening plowshares. Why. A Mackintosh. Of course. We have them in all sizes, shapes, and prices.
