The heavy rams of last week have raised the river so that the locks at Oregon City are closed, and traffic on the river stopped between Oregon City and Portland. The Albany did not make her regular trip on Tuesday, but she is loaded with flour, at Fisher's mill, and- is all ready to start, at this writing, when she can get through the locks. The steamer Hoag came down from Boonville with a load of wheat, for the Benton Mills, and will go back for another load. Traffic on the river is booming, and if they could take away the grain fast enough at Yaquina, two boats could not do the work. The Poor Boy. Don't be ashamed, my lad, if you have a patch on your el bow. It is no mark of disgrace. It speaks well for your industrious mother. For our part we would rather see a dozen patches on your jaeket, than hear one profane or vulgar word escape from your lip&r No good boy will shun you be cause you cannot dress as well as your companions; and if a boy sometimes laughs at your appearance, say nothing , my good lad, but work on. We know many rich and good men who were once poor and friendless boys ; and if you are poor and upright, you will be respected a great deal more than if you were the son of a rich " man, ' and addicted to bad habits. Ex. The College. The term Ms about half over of this college year at.. the O. A. C, and never in its history viewed as an outsider of course has it seemed to be doing so well. Nothing but kind words are heard from students about the faculty, and from the faculty about the students, while the citizens generally are lavish in their praise of both. The students are a credit'' to the institution, and their habits are above criticism. They are a gentlemanly and ladylike lot of well dressed men and women with a purpose in life, and they are devoting all their energies to carry it out. We say this much because we feel it to be due. People are always willing to condemn and find fault when anything goes wrong, and we believe it is proper to praise when it is deserved. Our - college is a' credit to everyone concerned, and an ho nor to the state. Corvallis. Corvallis is as lively a little town this winter as there is in the valley. The improvement in business over last year is very noticeable, as is also the improvment in the appearance of the city.--; We .have three passeDger trains in and three out from here every day besides two lines of steamboats on the river, and the S. P. freight from Port land on alternate days- All these are doing business and most of the time a good business. Our merchants are all busy. At the bank you will have to wait your turn at the window and the five employees are worked, hard to keep up. The hotel is doing a better business than it has done for years. The harness shops are busy, and in short, everybody seems to be prosperous, there is no one complaining of hard 'times. So much for the business. The appearance of the city is greatly improved, the new cross ings are kept clean, the sidewalks have been generally repaired or renewed, the building improvements on main street are very noticeable, and the Christinas display in the shop windows would do credit to a larger town. Take it all to gether Corvallis is one of the prosperous owns of the state, and as the old year approaches its end, Jet us each resolve that during the comii.g year- we wiil do something to add to its prosperity. 333333S3833 LOCAL NEWS.

''A good character, good habits, and an iron industry are impregnable to all the ill luck that fools ever dreamed of." Reports from Yaquina bay are all agreed about the fearful wind storms they have been having there this winter. The country all around us is under water, and no one is coming to town unless theyliave to, and then they come on horseback. .

John Withycombe, the state veternary stock inspector, was. in Corvallis on Saturday and called at the Union office.

Allan Logan was acquitted by the jury in his trial for killing the man Syl vester. It is not at all probable that the blow he is said to have received from the boy killed him.

The program is out for a farmer's in stitute to be held under the auspices of the O. A. C. at Howell, in Marion county. Every place where these institutes have been held the farmers speak in the strongest terms in praise of them. They are doing a great good ; " subjects of vital interest to the farm and home are dis cussed in a scholarly way, by men who know what they are talking about, and the results must be education along the proper lines.

Send and get one. - Some time ago the Times published for fact that Ruthyn Turney was playing the fiddle in a concert hall at Skaguay. Be low we give an extract from a letter sent to Jessie Spencer by Mr. Turnev which speaks for itself : ; "Jess, now did it get in print that I was playing violin up here? It is liable to cause decent people to lose their re spect for me, because they one and all know that there is no place to play a vio lin in Skaguay except in a gambling hall or a den of prostitution. I think if I could get my hands on the promoter of this lie I would warm the wax in bis ears.

Inspected The Rlrer. Eugene, Or. Dec 11. Major Free man, United States engineer corps, took a pumber of representative citizens down the river today as far as Harrisburg on the snagboat, to show them the condi tion of the river. They found that the action of the high waterrhas done much good in the way of improvement of the channel, and it is thought a small expend iture will make navigation possible at most seasons of the year. Major Free man in now looking for a suitable quarry near the river, from which to secute. rock to be used in revetment and wingdam work, and expects to push the improve ment immediately, to the " extent of the available approriatkm. Oregontan. , ACROSS EASTERN OREGON. Yaqaina Bay Koad to Be Extended 5 to Snake River. There is a strong probability that the coming year will see a new railroad stretching across -Oregon from the Snake river to the coast. A branch of the new road will traverse the country between Prineville and Pendleton. Those com- merciar arteries, serving a virgin em- ( pire, will-command two seaports, Port land and .Newport, and bring a new and mighty factor to bear , on the develop ment of the state of Oregon. When the Oregon Pacific railroad was built the project included an extension across the state to Ontario, on Snake river, near the mouth of the Malheur. I The line was surveyed and definitely lo cated all the way, and the engineers found the road would be easy to con struct east of the Cascade range. Cross ing the mountains a little to the north ward of Mount Jefferson the route sags to the southward, touching- Prineville, skirting the northerly shore of Malheur lake, thence bending northeasterly and decending the Malheur valley. Con struction was begun on both ends of the line. The Yaquina end was completed across the Willamette valley and trains were put in operation on it. Nearly $150,000 was spent on the Ontario end, 11 miles of the road being graded and. the rails being laid a considerable part of the distance. Then the big scheme languished, and its promoters finally had to abandon it. Seven or eight years ago construction was resumed on the coast Btation and the road was pushed east ward to the summit of the Cascades where it now rests. The crest of the mountains is reached on a grade that is less than 2 per cent., being by far the easiest mountain crossing in the Pacific states. Beyond the operating - terminus of the road the grade is- completed for a distance of 12 miles, on 4 miles of which the rails are laid. , Rather more than its share of vicissi tudes came to the Oregon Pacific ven ture, and it appeared to be an aimless concern, dangling irresolutely in the air, when it was sold to A. B. Hammond, at Corvallis, some two years ago. Though Mr. Hammond got for $100,000 a prop erty on which more than $16,000,000 had been spent, his investment could not be reconciled with an intention to hold the road as it was, a mere isolated frag ment of a transportation system. But he kept his own counsel well, making neither boasts nor threats. He next ap peared in the project to construct the much-promised railroad to Astoria, which is now approaching completion. The returning general prosperity, and especially the improving business condi tions in the Northwest, together with the developments that come with the progress of affairs, now briug into view the general plan to complete the trans portation system contemplated when the Oregon Pacific was started. It will be more comprehensive, however, than the Oregon Pacific promoters had in mind. Mr. Hammond was seen in his room at the Portland yesterday, and, though he spoke guardedly of the probable railroad construction east of the Cascades, he admitted that the coming year might see a great transformation there. "The Oregon Central & Eastern pierces a body of timber equal to that of the whole Puget sound district," said he, "and then look at the vast grain-growing and cattle-raising and wool-producing country, not to speak of timber and min erals, untouched by any modern-means of transportation.' There is a stretch of nearly 600 miles between the Oregon Railroad & Navigation on the north and the Central Pacific on the south, every mile of which is rich in natuial resources. That certainly is a very attractive field for a railroad." Is there any connection between the proposed Eastern Oregon extensions of the Oregon Central & Eastern and your Astoria railroad enterprise?" Well, you know we have a 99-year lease of the Northern Pacific between Goble and Portland, which completes our connection between Portland and Astoria. It may be that it will be deemed advisable to give the Eastern Oregon feeders an outlet at the mouth of the Columbia instead of confining them to Yaquina bay, which the government seems slow to improve for ocean craft. In that case I suppose a new line will be built up the valley, unless satisfactory arrangements can be .made for using existing roads. The tendency of ocean commerce is to ship in large vessels, and the harbor that will not accomodate the largest merchant ships is hardly a safe one to tie an extensive railroad system to. The conditions have changed greatly during the past few years, and a deep-water harbor is essential to any transportation scheme involving foreign commerce. If plans now in mind shall be carried out, there will be plenty of business for Yaquina harbor without clearing commerce for foreign countries there. The coastwise business will be large. Yaquina bay is the nearest sea port to the rich Willamette valley, it should be remembered." Within the coming week develop ments are expected that shall give a more definite form to this new Oregon railroad system. It is among the reason able probabilities, however, that Eastern Oregon products shall be hauled east ward over the mountains to tide water next fall, instead of having to be driven on hoof or drawn by freight teams 100 miles or more to get to a railroad or a market.

When other fellers talk about the wives thet they hev got, An' keep a-crackin' of 'em up, ez tho' they reely thought The Lord had blessed em speshul in as- sortin' of their mates, I jest can't help a-thinkin' thet each husban' overrates The helpmeet thet is his'n; thet, never bevin' known A better one, it's nachral to be praisin' of his own ; But it can't, in p'int of reason, by enny chances be The other wimmin's haff ez good ez Cynthy is to me. I set an' think of all the times she's kep' my courage up, When life wuz tastin' bitter, 'n' the dregs wuz in the cup; 'N' how she's ben so patient with my weaknesses 'n' sins, A-coaxin' of me back to whar the better road begins ; Of how she's shared by sorrers, in a quiet sort o' way, - . Thet's made me quit my cassia' an' hez made me fit t' pray I hain't no doubt thet other wives is helpful ; but, ye see, They couldn't nohow be ez good ez Cynthy is to me.
