The Corvallis Gazette is jubilant over the fact that the grading of the first section of ten miles of the nar row gauge to Yaquina is fast approach ing completion and the raising of funds with which to purchase the iron and rolling stock, is now in order. John A. Crawford, ex-Mayor Froman, John Conner and Abe Hackleman, of Albany, lead the van with liberal sub scriptions. Pox Bros., formerly of Corvallis, but now of Albany, in evi dence of their appreciation of what Benton county has done for them, in the past, came down handsomely. Pearce, of the ferry, to help the road along, has dipped his oar, and lo! a thousand in gold for Pearce. Good for Albany, and all in one da But then Albany knows what railroad com munication will do for a town and, unselfish, wishes to help her neighbor along. Corvallis, mindful of the adage, 1 'the gods help those who help them selves," has not been idle. Jacobs & Neugass, lead the van with a $1,000. Sol. King, ever readyjjto go down into his pockets when a public enterprise needs aid, follows with $1,000. Ha inan C. Lewis, Oregonian of the olden time, sees the course of events, takes in the situation, and without waiting to be solicited, sends from his broad acres one thousand in gold. Presi dent Arnold swells the list with a free $500. Dr. J. B. Lee gives $300, with an intimation, that if necessary, he will "go $200 better." S. Rayburn, away up in the hills, hears the glad tidings from the valley, and at once echoes back a cool $500. Good for Hayburn and the hills. Ex-sheriff Palmer, a man who aots as well as talks, is now coming with his subscrip tion, followed by a long list of friends for all know that when Jud goes for a thing he means business. The sub scription when only two days old ag gregated the handsome sum of $10,000 and still the good work goes brave ly on. There never was a time when the people were as earnest in their efforts for a railroad as they are to-day and this is because they are now satisfied the right men have taken hold of the enterprise. This but proves wlyit the Gazette has often asserted, that people would contribute if they could be assured of success. Col. Hogg has shown how the road can be built, and satisfied the people that it will be built. Hence the enthusiasm, and the rapid subscritions. Let everybody sub scribe and ere long, they may all take a ride to the Yaquina. Lands for the Landless. In a letter to the Mercury David Newsome tells the landless where to secure lands, it seems to be a preva lent opinion that the lauds in western Oregon are about all taken up. This is far from being the case he says. On the western slope of the Cascade range and fronting on Clackamas and Ma rion counties there are not less than three thousand vacant quarter sections of good, second rate lands; rich soil, pure, good water; much of it easily cleaned, and the finest timber in the world. Underneath these lands are vast mineral ores. This is one of the healthiest districts on this coast. These lands are better than most of the lands originally in Norway, Sweden, France and much of Holland. On the eastern and western slopes of the range, are more than eight thousand vacant quar ter sections of the same sort of land. Good farms and excellent homes can be made on those lands. Several roads penetrate these districts, and more will be made as needed. Here, then, is room for thousands of men who can sit under their own vine and fig trees. Here is a fine opening for large settlements, where men can work for themselves. ysr What is a dollar when you can get ThbAstouiak for it four months, regularly, including n pamphlri telling you all about the great State of Oregon, NEWS OF THE MORNING. Ex-Mayor Oakey Hall, has re turned to New York. Congress is talking of repealing the bankrupt act. As it stands it is a grand humbug, opening avenues to swindling which ought to be choked off. J Gen, Sherman, Adjt. Gen. Towns end, and bureau officers of the war department, met the house appro priation committee on the 1st, and discussed the reduction of the army. Townsend states that titer army has now not over 20,000 men, and the regiments will not average over 150 men. Gen. Sherman and associates thought it was wiser, in case a reduc tion were contemplated, to cut down the regimental organization than at tempt to reduce the rank and file. The committee will report an appro priation bill upon the basis for the four months that are gone, and eight that are to come of $22,000. Death of Senator Morton, Senator Morton breathed his last at 5:20 i). m., on Thursday. Hr3 last words were, "I am dying, I am worn out." The dispatches yesterday say The frequent bulletins of to-day ren der it unnecessary to recount his suf ferings and the measures employed to alleviate. On the doctor's announce ment, "He is going," the gaze of his wife and sons became fixed on the: face of the husband and father, with now and then a look of piteous inquiry to wards the doctor until his further an nouncement, "It is over." The widow clasped her sons to her, exclaiming quietly, but in tones never to be for gotten, "My darling boys." The friends withdrew, leaving them for a time, when they were led from the room. This evening, by direction of the mayor, the city bells have been tolled 54 strokes, indicating the dead senator's age. The "Warm Spring Indians. "We understand that Col. Watkins will report against any consolidation of the indian agencies on Paget sound. Gen. Sherman also expressed himself against it. "What may be done with any other indians in the department of the Columbia, don't transpire. The Telegram thinks it would be a good plan to move the Warm spring indians to the Yakima reservation. Very soon these indians will find themselves on played out soil. Last summer there was an almost entire failure of crops, and the indians were compelled early in the season to start for the moun tains in order to secure meat for the winter. The soil of the "Warm springs reservation is almost entirely of vol canic character; the little valleys in which are the few farms, afford but a very thin soil which, when plowed by a sub-soil plow, shows clear sand and gravel; very soon then must these in dians, now that the government is withholding supplies, find themselves in absolute want. We hope for the sake of indians who have really done good service, that the inspector will recommend that they be given a chance to secure farms, before it shall be too late. It has been decided to restore the tombs of the Khalifs at Cairo, and the Egyptian government, after appropri ating a certain sum of money, will open a subscription list to which not only the members of the Khedive's family, but all others interested in the work, will be invited to subscribe. The popular idea in Egypt respecting these mosqiiLS is that they were built with money wrongfully gotten, and should therefore be allowed to crum ble into dust. The new lance recently adopted in the Austrian service, after a long series of experiments with weapons of the Cossack and Prussian patterns, is nine feet one inch in length. The point is made of Bessamer steel, its length being slightly over seven inches, and the butt is shod with the same metal. Two long bands of iron at tach the head to the staff, and a leath er strap, for the arm of the man carry ing it to pass through, is fixed to this latter at about four feet from its lower extremity. The total weight of the weapon is four pounds. Before the end of the year all the lancer regi ments in the Austrian army are to be armed with the new weapon.
