The following item which ap
peared in Saturday's Oregonian
will interest many in Corvallis
and Benton county who were
acquainted with Rev. J. A. Man
na during his long residence here:
j Au Oregonian reporter chanced

yesterday forenoon while two
men whose appearance indicated
that they had arrived at years
of discretion weie standing at the
window where subscriptious arc
taken. In passing he spoke to
one of them . whom he knew
and incidentally mentioned his
name, P. W. Gillette. The other
man looked around quickly, and
asked, ''Where is he?" "Stand
ing beside you," was the reply.
He and Gillette looked earnestly
at each other and the stranger
said to Gillette: "Djn't you
know Mt-?" "Why, of course,"
replied 'Mr.. Gillette, "it is Han -na."
He then iutrod iced the re
porter to Rev. J. A. Hanu, wrMi
whom lie had come across the
plains to Oregon in 1852, and
whom he had not seen in 15
years. Mr. Hanna was pastor of
a Presbyterian church in Cor
vallis which he organized there
where nearly 200 victims of the would gain her new Eastern out

a piece of cracker box or other ing the commerce of Central Ore-
board marks their resting place.
Where families ' owned lots,
bodies were placed therein, but
strangers and - others were buried
in long rows. In some instances
mistakes were made in identify
ing the dead, and the bodies have
been exhumed and re-buried, so
that it is believed that all. are
properly accounted for.

According to the method of com

and Seattle, the population of Cor
vallis must be near the 4,000 mark.
It is claimed by the cities above
mentioned that population may be
determined by multiplying the uum
ber of children of jschool age by five.
A recent census shows the children
of school age in school district No.
9 to be 859. That, wduld indicate
that the population of the district
is 4,595.

The practice of closing business
houses at 6 o'clock every evening,
except Saturdays, begun some
weeks ago by local merchants,
seems to meet with " popular Ap
proval. If inconvenience in ex
perienced by .any, they appear to
suffer in silence rather than de
prive the ' merchants and their
clerks of leisure in the evening.
At the time the compact was made,
however, a few of those who were
parties to it felt that th,e hour for
closing should have been set at 7
o'clock, and as time passed they be
came more firmly convinced of the
correctness of this view. So, be
ginning with last evening; the stores
of S L. Kline, F. L. Miller and P
M. Zirolf will not close, until the"

opment work. General Manager
Louis Hartley, of the Great East

direct work on the group of mines
owned by that corporation in the

also left last week for the same place.
The ladies of the Congregational
church are planning to run an
excursion over the Corvallis &
Eastern, from Corvallis to the
eastern terminus of the road a
week from today. The encourage
ment they receive will determine
whether the excursion will be run.
It is believed that a rate of one do!
lar can be secured for the round
trip if sufficient tickets, are sold to
justify it. This excursion will be
the first to be run eastward this
season and should prove very pop
ular. The revival services which have
been conducted by Rev. Allen Wil
son for the past two weeks, will be
continued until tomorrow evening.
Arrangements had been made to
close the meetings last Sunday
evening, but the board of directors
of the Christian church succeeded
in having Rev. Wilson released
from other engagements, permitting
him to remain a few days longer in
Corvallis. He has been very 5u -ce3fu!
in his efforts here, ov-r 60
having professed Christ duri' g the

Chas. Ewart, who left Corvallis
with his family in May, .1891 to
take up his residence in British Col

visit, last week. Hi family resides
at Nelson, B. C. After leaving
Corvallis, Mr. Ewart went to Vic
toria and was employed at carpen
tering for two years . Theu he be
gan contracting, but , the Britishers
were cautious about dealing with
"the Yankee," and he experienced
some difficulty in getting establish
ed. Merit will win, however, and
he succeeded in building up an ex
cellent business. Then he suffered
an attack of asthma and was com
pelled to seek a change of climate.
He will spend the summer at the
Sulphur springs north of Corvallis
and at other points in this vicinity,
in the hope of finding relief and
benefit.

Mr. Hanna said he not long
since met three old college chum
in Los Angeles whom he had not
seen before in 54 years. Gillette
complimented him on his youth
ful and vigorous appearance, and
Mr. Hanna said he was 80 years
and five months old, and consid
ered himself the youngest old
man who could be scared up cjn
this Coast. Mr. Gillette is some
three years younger, and, despite
a recent rather severe - illness, is
still a rather young "old man,"
but not so boyish as Mr. Hanna.
They both came from Northern
Ohio. Mr. Gillette said he had
gone down to Burlington to study
law and had been there loner
enough to "eat up his horse,"
when he learned that Mr. Hanna
was getting up a tram to go to
Oregou. He had long wanted to
come out here, so he wrote to Mr.
Hanna and arranged .; to come
with him. He then wrote to his
father that he was going and
that there would be no use in
trying to stop him. He met the
train m Cincinnati, and as he had
just had the smallpox badly
scared the whole outfit, but he
stuck to them and got here in
saiety. lur. iianna said he was
booked to spend the month of
September in Oregon. The
Presbyterian Church which he
organized in Corvallis was to
celebrate the anniversary of the
event by a jubilee,, and the whole
synod of this region would take
part in the affair.
. For the first time since the con
struction of the Corvallis & East
ern railroad, the papers of Port
land jhave a word to- say favora
ble to the development of tha
enterprise. From the time when
the project was .first conceived
the commercial interest of Port
land have been hostile to the
road and, assisted by the press o
tiiaC city, have endeavored to
smother every efiort looking to
the extension of the road and im
provement of Yaquina bay. . But
wiser Jcounsel seems to be direct
ing aflairs in the metropolis and
we find the Oregonian uttering
these words of
'The old Oregon Pacific route
to Crook and Harney r.counties is
as feasible of construction, prom
ising in volume of traffic and
profit of operation as the Colum

already partly Duut. it goes
direct to the heart of the country
we want to reach, and while its
height in crossing the Cascades is
no greater than that reached by
the present Columbia Southern,
the ascent is gradual, and there
fore easy."
This comment is called forth
by the following letter to the
Oregonian from Mr. Wallis Nash :
In the communication which
you printed a short time ago de

Central Oregou, and- utilizing

Will Rebuild City.
Bert Lacey returned, Friday,
from a visit with relatives at
Heppner, and as he is the first
Cocvallisite to return from that
city since the flood, he has many
interesting things to tell concern
ing the effect of the rushing
waters and present conditions.
In the excitement of the mo
ment, when the avalanche of
water swept over the city, eye
witnesses said that the crest of
he flood, reared itself from 20 to
40 feet in the air. The report of
the government officials estimat
ed that the water was no deeper
than six feet at any point, Mr.
Lacy says that hay and particles
of drift left upon trees that stood
in the path of the flood indicates
that the water reached a depth of
12 feet at its crest. As Willow
Creek left its banks it swept
everything clean for a distance of
100 yards on either side.
Conditions in Heppner are nor
mal again. The . inhabitants
seem to luve forgotten the awful
scene? of a few weeks sgo, and
are .thinking philosophically, of
the present and future. - Prepara
tions are making for geueral re
building, and the optimistic be
lieve that inside of two years the
city will be; better than she ever
was before. Mr. Lacy says crops
are looking excellent, and a party
of wool buyers, in their own
special car, were in Heppner dur
ing his visit. About "fifty men
are employed at present in mov
ing buildings back to their foun
dations, and gathering up wreck
ed machinery that is strewn down
the valley. He saw Attorney C.
E. Woodson and had quite a visit
with him in his office, the finest
in the' city. Mr. Woodson has a
large practice and is already very
popular.
If these figures are so, the con
clusion is very plain to my mind
that Portland does wrong in look
ing further than this road to
solve the problem of railroad
communication with - Eastern
and Central Oregon.
Whenever the City of Portland
and the commercial interests cen
tered here come to the conclusion
that heaven (or Mr. Harriman)
helps only those wbo help them
selves, ind honest !and unpreju
diced examination of these alter
native undertakings should be
made. ... , :: V
It is my belief that the expen
diture of a sum not largely in
excess of that required to extend
the Columbia Southern road
from its present end at Shaniko
to Bend, in the irrigable valley
of the Deschutes, would suffice
to extend the Corvallis & East
ern Railroad from its present
ending at Idahna, or Boulder
Creek in the Santiam Valley, to
the crossing of the -Deschutes
river. From that point the great
stretch of Central - Oregon is as
open as it would be from Bend,
The traffic in reach of the then
terminal points would .. be at
tracted to either the Corvallis &
Eastern, or the Columbia South
ern, and would reach immense
figures. But the Corvallis &
Eastern on its way traverses the
magnificent timber of the San
tiam district, the traffic from
which would justify and sustain
every short section of the load
as it was opened.
If there be any solid ground
for the suggestion in yesterday's
Oregonian that Mr. Harriman in
tends running a road from On
tario westward, to ' make an
eventual new connection, with a
California point, and so open a
new route from San Francisco bv
way of . Northern California and
Southern Oregon with Granger,
the Oregon Short Line, and so to
the East, it follows (if my geog
raphy is correct) that the route
westward must be from Ontario
up the Valley of the Malheur,
and into the Harney Lake and
Valley, country, before making
the south westward bend. In
that . case, if the Corvallis. &
Eastern were at the, .Deschutes
crossing) an extension eastward
to a connection in the Harney
Valley .. would be a cheap and
gon.
The two great inducements for
the investment of capital m a
new railroad enterprise at ihe
present time are timber in unl m
ited quantities, and the traffic
from a newly irrigated area of
large dimensions and recognized
fertility. Add t these a tide of
settlement beating, against the
barriers, waiting only an opening I
into the new lauds, and yet
again open your eyes to the big
and growing City of Portland at
the western terminus, and the
trans-Pacific countries waiting to
absorb the products of the region
to be opened surely here are at-!
tractions enough, without watt
ing much longer for the interpo
sition of heaven
man).

To Save Gold.
Roy Raber is now in Chicago
ordering; machinery for the
dredge which will be oper
ated on the sand bars in the
Saake river. It will be 100-400
feet in dimension, and the ma
chinery alone will cost $ so, 000.
Four carloads of the dredge were
shipped from Portland to Glenn's
Ferry, Idaho, Saturday, and this
shipment will be followed by
men and material for setting uo
the dredge, which will be the
largest and most complete ever
built on the Snake river. The
company which Mr. Raber repre
sents has ample means and so
much confidence in his new
methods in dredge construction
that it has furnished him with
all the money required to build
and equip the boat as a first-class
gold-saver.
Mr. Raber says that the dredges
on Snake river lose more gold
than they save, but he has devel
oped some new ideas by which
he is confident that he will
change all this and save the fine
gold in these river bars. In the
single item of sifting and sluicing
in the new dredge 1000 feet of
burlap is used, while in the other
dredges not more than -300 feet
is used. The parts of the boat
have about. all been made here,
and will be quickly put together
at Glenn's Ferry. . With the im
provements in the way of rsaving
the fine gold aljoun'ding 'in the
sandbars on Snake river there
will be a revolution in this kind
of mininpv
A small launch and a barge
will also be built to go with the
arge boat. When this dredge is
completed and in operation, Mr.
Raber will have several more
built on the same lines. They
will probably be built in Portland
in parts knocked down the same
as the first one.
