Mr. Arants' little girl who was ill up there with scarlet fever is still to weak to stand the trip home. What the C. & E. May Do. For mere than a year little things have transpired now and then that have caused some peo ple to believe that t&e . C & E would shortly extend their road on over the aonntains into the heart of the state. Where seme people have "believed" implic itly in the reports, others have 'hoped" that they were founded on truth. The Oregonian sums up the situation very well in the following: There are rumors of another railroad aiming tor the business of the interior region of Oregon east of the Cascade Range. This is a revival ol the story that the Corvallis & Eastern is making preparations for extending its line across the mountains. It now halts at Detroit, near the crest of the range, but the grade is finished for a considerable dis tance beyond, and the right of way secured still further. The activity of the Nevada-Califor nia-Oregon people in building northward into Oregon, and the prospect that the Columbia Southern will reach into the Upper Deschutes Basin, is said to have moved the powers that control the destinies of the Cor vallis & Eastern to appreciation of the fact that it is now or never with them; that to leave the line waving in the air at the top of mountain is short-sighted, and the time to go forward is before other roals have occupied the field. More than three years ago a mortgage was filed in Linn coun ty, securing money for extend ing the Corvallis & Eastern into Eastern Oregon. It is said that a market had been found tor the bonds and that the line would be extended at a propitious time. Since then great changes have come into the railroad world, and it may be doubted that the arrangements then made would hold good today. But money is even easier now than it was then, much work has been done to ward opening the natural wealth of the region to be penetrated by the proposed extension, and it is found to be worthy of financial confidence, and long headed railroad men sav the time is ripe for the Corvallis & Eastern to push on in order to protect its own interests. A Letter From Dover. Months have elapsed since I have at tempted to indite an epistle, therefore, should I stray from the beaten path the path worn deep by custom and prece dent, and for such cases made and pro vided by the Pilgrim Fathers I pray you overlook it. . For more . than a quarter of a genera tion have I tarried with these people, yet am I not one of them. Their ways are not my ways, neither are my ways their ways. I have thought sometimes there might be a mote in my eye; if so, I have failed to discern it, even with the aid of a powerful microscope. One who has witnessed the beauty and grandeur of the boundless west, where Mother Nature has been so lavish of her many gifts that the hearts and minds of her people cannot fail to respond in deeds of charity and benevolence, and a kindly feeling for tbe whole human race, has no business within the narrow con fines of the six New England States. Where, do you ask, is my charity? I have it not : I left it in the West. It is not charity that is needed here, but the whip of scorpions. We read in the Book of books of tbe wise men who came out of the East, ia no way did they show more wisdom than in coming out had they tarried there they had not been wise, Let us study a few of the characteris tics of the people of this sectiou from whence the wise men have departed. To facilitate matters, and to enable us the better to keep track of our subject as we proceed, we will discuBS it under three separate headings, viz : Physically, in tellectually and morally. Physically in stature and avoirdupois, the people of this section will compare favorably with those of other sections of the country, but in point of health they are below par. There are but few male or female, young or old who can say, with truth, that they are in perfect health. Con sumption, catarrh and indigestion are the three principal ailments. The latter of which is probably caused by the mode of living too much pie. Consumption and catarrh are due to sudden and ex treme climatic changes. Intellectually this part of our subject may be summed up thus; Dollars and cents. In regard to morals it is a well-known fact that morality has two -distinct branches, the good and the bad, and but let ns drop the subject; silence is golden. In conclusion, let me say that it will well repay anyone bo likes to study human nature to pass a few years of his or her life in some New England village. W. E. Paul. Dover, N. H., December 10, 1901. Three Weddings. .The tinkle of the sleighbells is always an unusual sound in and about Corvallis, for there is dearth of snow even in Decern ber.

An alarm about 9 o' clock brought the department to our very door. We glanced at the asbestos case containing a number of hot issues of the Gazette, but no smoke was issuing therefrom. .Next door, however, in the shoe shop of J. E. Foivells, all was ex citement. The ceiiing near the flue was ablaze, but a few buckets of water soon quench; d it. Either a warm argument or a defective flue is thought to ha', o been the cause of the fire.
