An important decision was hand
ed down recently by the Oregon
Supreme court, in a case on appeal
from Multnomah county, involving
the question of the standing of tax ;
titles property, where the property
is incumbered by prior mortgage.
In sustaining tbe decision of the
lower court in this case, Justice
Wolverton held that the sale arid
conveyance of property - for the en
forced collection of delinquent taxes
did not operate to cut off the mort
gage lien. By reason, of haying
purchased at a tax sale, the pur
chaser acquired a lien which could
not ber divested short of making
him a party to the foreclosure un
less there be a redemption. But a
Providence nor aey other fellow has
rotiglit forth the prancing teeds or
golden vhariot with which my fondest
hopes might be realized. Patience and
peraeverenc-e, it has "been said, will ac
complish all things, and hence I bided
tny time. Father Joseph Yates always
has an eye open to the interest and wel
fare of his friends, and anticipating the
longings of my heart, harnessed up
"Billy" young and nimble like his
owner-loaded the phaeton with all thing3
good . p9opla should take on a trip of
this kind, aud like the coyAmaidea of
sweet sixteen I accepted his company for
a grand promenade. Kind Providence
seemed to lend an approving smile, for a
mantle of cloud obs:nred the burning
ravH t.f t mmii'fr nun and a little Oregon
iui-t laid UkmIloI, ifm making th roads
delightful. The fielda of! ripening grain
on either side of the road to riiilnmnth
now ready for the harvest, is msptriii - to
to the soul of any man who has iu mind
the-welfare of his neighbor, and shows
conclusively that those who have son
will reap a bountiful harvest.
In passing through the thriving little
village of philomath we notice with pride
and pleasure the pluck and perseverence
of the Benton County Lumber Com
pany in bridling the force of nature with
a seventeen mile flume, and as we
watched the lumber issue from the water,
we said nothing seems impossible to the
Yankee ingenuity of man.
We found the roads through the moun
tains in fine condition,- reflecting credit
on those who have in charge the expedi
ture of public money, thus lendiug en
chantment to the scenes of marvelous
beauty known only to the mountains.
i We found the Blodgett Valley one
vast meadow of hay, reaching the full
length of the valley, and from the moun
tains and foothills reechoed the tingling
of. bells from numerous herds of rattle
and sheep every where visible " to the
naked eye. The greatest surprise to us,
however, was the fertile valley down the
Little Els. We had conceived the idea
that after passing the Summit we would
find a dreary, desolate waste, suitable
only for sheep, when tbe coyotes and
other wild animals bad become extinct."
But.iustead, we found a beautiful produc
tive little valley, extending clear down
to the ocean. Fat cattle and sheep were
lying in the fence corners in rich, green
tame grasses; white clover was growing
profusely, fruit in abundance, and many
happy prosperous farmers enjoying the
fruit of their toil. , To our mind men
with limited mbans could find this valley j
a haven of - rest to their weary sbals and
a glorious shelter in time of storm.
Here we found one of the noblest spirits
of our sex, whose soul goes oat iu sym
pathy for the weary traveler, for there
by the roadside he had tapped a beauti
ful mountain stream, provided a water
ing place for horses, hitching rack,
camping ground, table and bench, so
yon could put your big feet under the
table when eating, and then as the shades
of evening gathered around you could
lie down under the beautiful pines and
enjoy your slumber "without wave of
trouble rolling o'er your peaceful breast."
We enjoyed bis hospitality during the
the night aud at the dawn of day climbed
the last lofty mountain peak known in
Uncle Sam's domain, and for the first time
ia life caught a glimpse of that myster
ons wonder of the world, the Pacific
Ocean. . It has never entered into the
mind of man fully to conceive, painter
to portray, or pen to write the
grandeur of that scene, and as we looked
in wonder and amazement away out into
the immensity of space, we thought how
insignificant we were, and how little
we will be missed when we come to the
end of the journey of human life.
We landed safely in time to partake of
a royal supper prepared by the ladies of
tbe Yatei household, and Mother Yates
seemed, greatly pleased to see Father
Joseph and lear bim orate on the pleas
ures of the trip. He is slightly tongue-
lien existed for the tax prior there tied, you know, but she seems to under
to. ' When, however, the sale np
ened info a tax title, the grant e
acquired the interest of the owner.
Iu this case such interest was tbe
interest of redemption and the pur
chaser occupies- the shoes of the
owner upon ihe( foreclosure of the
prior mortgage. V" ' : . ,.

surprise you greatly. ,-. '
We were pleased to see Prof. Horner,
so nicely situated. He has just added a
fresh coat of paint to his cottage, which
greatly adds to its appearance. He took
particular pains to make it pleasant for
na. He is well named, for when he pro
fesses friendship for a man he never
blown his own HoTn(er) fails fco do his
duty toward his Yriend. As I partook of
his generous hospitality,tue thought Came
to my mind how home to me when I
hadone in the happy days gone by-was
the swFefest spot on. arth, and awsy
down deep in my heart I wished he and
his excellent family many years of hap
piness in their neat little cottage by the
sea."- ..4 :. . . ! ' y
The banks along the beach nt Nye
Creek are lined with tents and an occa
sional family, who have not been blessed
with sufficient, means to provide a tent,
have drawn on nature's storehouse by
plucking fern and pine boughs with
which to, form a boundary, line, and use
the starry-decked canopy of heaven for
a covering. They all seem to be social
ists not in the political sense but have
laid aside for a season certain social re
strictions and vie with each other in
making life pleasant for one another
while there. As I viewed the scene I
said to myself, the Oregonian's enjoy life
better than any people on earth. The
cottages "everywhere among the hills
seem to be inhabited. They are prin
cipally well-to-do farmers, merchants
and business men generally, who with
their families quietly steal away from
home for a season of re9t and refreshment;
and among this class there is an occa
sional rare specimen with a little money
and less braius, who enclose themselves
in a steel cage as it were, impervious to
the touch of friendship, reminding one
of the prayer, "O Lord, bless me and my
wife, my son John and his wife; ns four
and no more." It is a blessing to society
that the family is no larger. ,
The beach is a delightful' place and
always lined from morning until night,
some on promenade, others gathering
stones and other curios, caet up from the
bosom of the mighty deep. I witnessed
to me an amusing incident on Monterey
beach. A lady, fat, fair and forty, sat
delving among the rocks, lap full of
choice specimens, and on glancing up
she saw tbe tide had risen rapidly and
cut off her e&cape around the point' of
table rock. With a little scream, known
only to women, sie gathered her skirts
with rocks enclosed and ran over to
table rock. She tried to clitab, but her
limbs were a little shorter than they
really oulit to be, for this occasion at
least, and the tiny little No. 6 would not
reach the step cut in the rbek. Her cor
set also lacked a duplex extension neces
sary to cover the frontal protrusion
peculiar to her build and the rocks
she had gathered in her dress added
largenesrto the scene, hence she could
not "ehin up" to get hold with: her
hands. I graciously presented my del
icately perfumed handkerchief (five
center) ; took her gently by the hand,
and with one heroic effort landed her
safely on the rock, sending her on her
way rejoicing.
It was a great treat to me to watch the
digging of rock oysters, ' and note the
manner in which they borough out their
little home in the solid rock. Nature
seems to have endowed them witn mar
velons ingenuity : for were they not
thus encased they would have become
au easy prey. It also has due-respect
for others, for it never penetrates the
walls of its neighbor's home. !What a
lesson man may learn if he will irom
this 'little, inseet of the soa, as to the
sacredness of the home.
Would like to express a few thoughts
as to the rise and fall of the tide, but
space will not permit. Some are pleased
to telj you these things are ruled and
governed by nature, but we see in them
the haudiwoik of an Almighty God with
power unlimited.
The surf-bathing seems to be greatly
enjoyed. Fine place to take observations
of physical development. When we men
are prepared to take our medicine we
are neither naked nor clad, but barefooted
and cold, with breech clout around our
loins, in which condition we advance to
meet the ocean -wave. Here we are in
clined to pause a momeht dH'til our breath
can be restored and then a friend sug
gests we enter into the presence of one
of those mightv rollers, which we did. In
a measure it gave us a warm reception.
Delightful experience, for when it struck
us we were inclined a little backward.
Forget it? Never! There are some little
incidents that make lasting impressions
on the mind. This affected not only the
mind, but the whole body. -Even my
false teeth were affected. I have had
icicles slid down my back in my youth
ful days by playmates ; taken sleigh rides
in "Old Mizzonry," with the themometer
playing around zero, but all these things
pale into insignificance when compared
to it. My neighbor said "What fools j
these mortals be." Oh, yes, Ienjoyed it
immensely when I got my clothed on
and like other people will very likely try
it again. Some ladies shrink at the
thought of removing the ' fix-ups and
other paraphenalia that in some oases
are necessary to make rs presentable ap
pearance, and with tears of remorse lose
the pleasures enjoyed by- their more
favored sister, whom nature has blessed.
I was bashful about it myself, as my feet
are a little large.
Time forbade my visit to the lighthouse,
Devil's Punch Bowl and numerous other
places of interest,1 which was very fortu
nate for you, Bro. Editor, for had they
proved as interesting to me as the inci
dents already mentioned, an extra edition
might have been necessary.

M4Y ESTABLISH ROUTES.
Postmaster Johnson Has Received a Tele
gram Statins Routes Are Held for
V Reinvestigation.
Postmaster Johnson received a
telegram, last Monday that gives
a little encouragement to 1 1'ose
who still hope that Corvailis frt-e
rural delivery routes, numbers 2
and 3, may yet be established.
The telegram, "Held not suffi
cient number of houses," re
ceived from the foiirth assistant
postmaster general, July 2 i&t,
came as a great surprise to pa
trons of the proposed routes
who were given assurance that
the service would be established
August ist It was believed by
manv that some mistake had
been made, and that the depart
ment would redeem its promise.
Support was given to this view, 1
Monday, when Postmaster John-
son received the following dis
patch: "Rural routes two and
three held for reinvestigation."
Mr. Johnson has not ceased
his efforts to have the service es
tablished. In a letter to the
head of the Rural Free Delivery
Division, written this week, he
said :
I am at a loss to understand
the action of the Department in
this" matter. These routes were
regularly inspected by a special
agent ot the Department in Feb
ruary last, the petition for same
having been on file since the first
of last August. The favorable
report on these routes by the
special agent was later approved
by the Department and on the
7 th of May last I was informed
by the then . acting General Su
perintendent of the Rural Free
Delivery Division that service on
these routes had been assigned for
establishment August ist, next.
About the same time similar in
formation was furnished by the
Department to Senators Mitchell
and Fulton of Oregon, and
through them and myself found
its way to the public.
Since that time patrons along
the proposed routes have quite
generally purchased boxes, many
of which, are erected alone: the
roadside, relying upon the repre
sentations so made by the De
partment as above.
The Deparraent having once
ordered these .routes and set a defi
nite time for the commencement
of service, and having caused
the patrons of. the proposed
routes to exoect the service and
to prepare . themselves for it,
every requirement of justice and
good faith would dictate that the
routes should be established un
less the order establishing the
routes were procured by the mis
representations of the petitioners
as to material facts, or at least
unless facts not known at the
time of the order of establish
ment have since come to light

Mr. Hall graduated from . the Ore
gon Agricultural College in the

county as clerk for two terms, and
declined the nomination for a third
term.
Misses Carrie and Bessie Danne
man went to Newberg, : yesterday
where they will visit for a couple of
weeks with friends. .They will
proceed from there to Clem, Eastern
Oregon, and after a"two-weeks' visit
with tbei father, all three will re
turn to Corvailis, and join the
other members of the family in an
outing at Newport. - - ,
rendering the establishment in
advisable. The grounds upon
which the routes are now held
up, namely, an insufficient num
ber of houses, were as plainly ap
parent at.the time the order was
made as they are now, and tor
this reason do not in my opinion
constitute a sufficient reason for
delaying the establishment of
these routes.
As a matter of fact there are a
number of families whose resi
dences were not visible from the
road and were consequently not
reported by the inspector, which
would nevertheless receive and
take advantage of this service on
route No. 2. Furthermore the
community is a growing one and
with its natural increase ot pop
ulation will very soon not be sub
ject to the. objection of insuffi
cient number of families.
Trusting that you may see
your way clear to establish this
service without further delay, I
am, s Yours truly,
B. W. Johnson.
