GEE Capt. Matt. Canavan, Superintend-
ent of Nevada gold mine, recently gave
ball 1000 feet below the surface of
the earth. The section of the mine used
was handsomely decorated and brilliantly
illuminated. The Virginia City "Enter-
prise" says: "The ladies were dressed in
calico and the men in corresponding mex
pensive raiment. The furniture was in
keeping with the place, and while there was
everything necessary to comfort nothing
extravagant was seen. Never before in
the United States-if anywhere in the
world-has there been given ball at
depth of nearly quarter of a mile beneath
the surface of the earth. There was no
trouble about persons slipping into the ball
room without tickets. 1t was a queer way,
too, of going to a ball, this stepping upon
a cage instead of into carriage and being
'darted straight down towards the centre of
the earth instead of rolling off horizontally
in the usual way.

A Cool Reception.

A tramp went into farmhouse near
Reading, in the absence of the family, and
proceeded to the cellar to explore for cold
yictuals, or anything handy. His first step
after reaching the cellar was into a we'll
thirty feet deep. After crying for help
until exhausted, he managed to hang to a
pump-stock and keep from drowning for
three and a-half hours, until the family
came home, when he was rescued and went
on his way.

on the return mail, wherein he assur-
ed the Aumsville youth that he
desired no assistance in his line, but
that if he really desired to take some
ones place on that occasion, he had
no doubt that Whitney would give
him $50 to take has place. Nothing
further has been heard from him in
relation to the matter.

THE SANITARiUM.

While in Portland, last week, We
again avaiIe.i ourself of the health
giving pine and hemlock vapo: baths
uf Messrs. HeSlop & Chattin, whicl,
are peculiarly adapted to various
forms of chronic diseases which can
not be reached by medicine. Some
of the cures performed are really
wonderful. and their business is in
creasir,g rapidly. Since our last visit
they have added a new steam boiler,
and additional bath tubs, which
greatly increase their facilities for
healing patients. The following very
notice of this institn-
lion is from the Il. c.. Ad0ocate, of
recent date. Persons suffering from
rheumatism, no matter how long,
should give the Sanitarium n trial:
The Sanitarium Bath rooms of DIR. Heslop
and Chattin are constantly in operation.
Nothing of the kind has ever effected such
wonderful cures in this city as the baths OF
this establishment. The lame has actually
been enabled to walk, who for years had
be.n deprived of that privilege. and whose
ailments had previously baffled the treat
ment of the most ski,lful physicians. DIR.
Hes.op has shown himself master of his
profession. Besides his treatment of rheu-
matte affections, he has SO successfully treated
typhoid and other fevers as to secure for
him quite promising practice L.

RAILROADS..

Ed. GAZETTE Our people in Wes-
tern Oregon are waking up to the
Importance of different lines Of mar
row or broad gauge railroads from or
near Portland, southwark. The ives,
side railroad from St. Joe to Junction
will assuredly be constructed shortly
and put in runriag order. The Cor
wallis and Yaquina road is a necessity
long felt, and the signs Of the times
indicate that this road will be built.
A narrow gauge road from Spring
field, in Lane county, TO Salem, or
some point north of it is greatly
needed, and from present Indications
that road will he built. The question
concerning that road is, who have the
capital, brains, experience and enter
prise to -do this work? All these items
are essentially necessary TO do this
work. / have lately travelled all
along this proposed route fof tire last
named road, and know that it will
accommodate n long stretch of SUI
perior farming lands, water power,
timber and hill lands that would be-
come settled rapidly, if such road be
made. Along this route there is now
an immense amount of fine growing
wheat.
All these roads and such steamers
as ply between Portland and Harris
burg will lie needed to transport TO
market the vast amount of grain,
lumber, stock, etc produced in Wes-
tern Oregon. I must be permitted to
recur again to the Corvallis and va.
quina, and the west side railroads,
which will! run through Corvallis.
[ have not seen this city for thirteen
years past. She has been isolated
most of these years. Bnt her vent
to the Bay, aud TO the north and
south, and situated as she Is in the
center of this great valley, and in one
of the best farming districts in Ore.
gon, with large area Of choice
prairie and timber lands, water power,
coal, and pasture lands, she must soon
show city of ten thousand persons,
prosperous and well to do. The
company who have undertaken this
Bay road have a particular task to
perform-doing the work and com,
peting against the o. s. N. Company
and Portland capitalists. But all in
terests in our favored Oregon should
pull together, not pull down any one.

THE CHINESE QUESTION,

EDITOR GAZETTE: BY late dispatches we
are informed that congressional aad is at
hand to relieve the Pacific Coast of the Chi
nese incubus. Properly State Legislatures
could do. nothing but memorialize ON the
matter, and action at this time by Congress
will be cheerful news. The Chinese now
here, will not object, but with their peculiar
aptness to ''civilize," they will ''strike ;"
and it remains to be seen if ''John'' receives
any kinder attention employed at $40 per
month, than he did at $40. The serious
part of this business will commence when
the restriction goes into effect. Poor people
cried out against John" filling THEIR places.
Will they fill JOINS PLACE That's a ques-
ton that MUST be answered in the affirma-

boy learning an unprofessional trade, am

We graduate too LOW for eminence, and too
HIGH for the humble toll of. life: Often the
graduate turns his back on the honor able
occupation of his farmer father, and after a
brief, fruitless professional trial, helps swell
the modern cry of "Divlde, y Divide y

always ready and willing to follow trades

IMPROVEMENTS. NTs.-Already the music Of
hammer and saw is heard in various parts of
the city, as harbinger. of the "good time
coming" in Corvallis. Work has been COM
menced ON the new hotel. Mr.. Huffman has
erected neat little frame building between
DR.. E. H. Taylor's Office and Drake &
Grants tailor shop, which Is to be occupied
by NJ S. Woodcock as law office. Cy.
Powers has bought the property formerly
occupied as Buford's barbor shop, between
Sol. Kings livery stable and w. A. Wells.
saddle and harness shop, has moved the old
building back, and is erecting new front,
to be occupied as saloon. Nick Baesen
has bought the Empire Market stand, and
as soon as the weather will permit, will put
up Il new building for market. Other i'm
provements, also, will be pushed with vigor,
at an early day. Building material is in
great demand. Three cheers for Corvallis.

Observation-Disclosures since the
papers of this State and Washington
Territory, contained accounts Of the
arrest of S. w. Hall, of Olympia, w.
T., and his return to Illinois. He
was, apparently, arrested as Geo. II.
Holiday. Upon arriving at Carlin-
vile, Illinois, Mr.. Hall applied. for a
writ of habeas corpus. A Carlinville
dispatch dated January soth, says !:
/" Judge Charles L. Lane presided at
the trial, yesterday. The Hon. John
Mayo Palmer for Hall, and the Hon.
S. T. Coon for the State. A large
number of witnesses were examined,
and were nearly unanimous that S.
w. Hall was not George H Holiday.
The Judge discharged Hall from Gus
tody, and thus ends a remarkable case
The court room was crowded with par
ties from every portion of the country.
All unite in saying that Hall is not
Holiday, and Halls yindication is
complete"

Nor DEAD.-Some time since painful
rumor was circulated in this community, to
the effect that VIM. E. Dyer, formerly
butcher in this place, and for many years
a resident of this county, was dead. We
are glad to be able to contradict this rumor,
but regret to learn, from private letter
from Mrs. Dyer to her brother, Andrew
Emrick, of this city, that Mr.. Dyer is suffer-
ing, and entirely helpless, from paralysis.
They are now living in Tillamook county,
and the family are in destitute circumstan-
ces, depending almost entirely upon stran-
gers for help. As soon as the snow in the
mountains will permit, Andy Emrick, or
one of the brothers, will visit the distressed
family and minister to their needs. The
neighbors are doing all in their power for
the family, but being generally poor, can
not render all the assistance necessary.

PoETLAND.-Last week business
called us to the metropolis, and moi
withstanding we are a constant
reader of the daily papers Of the city,
we could not fully realize the rapid
growth that Portland is making.
During the entire winter building
has been steadily going forward
something unknown in former years,
and with the opening of spring, we
expect to see Portland rise, like
magic. No one will rejoice over her
prosperity more than the editor of
the GAZETTE. While Portland is in
cressing in wealth and population, it
is certain that every portion OF the
State will share its good fortune.
With railroad to Yaqnina Bay, and
the various other railroads now in
contemplation, throughout the State,
Portland is destined to continue the
great financial and commercial center
for years to come. A liberal, enter
prising policy, on the part of her
capitalists, will tend to increased
prosperity, while sordid, selfish pol
icy will drive hence capital and pop
ulation. The Yaquina railroad and
harbor of refuge at Cape Foul
weather, with the proposed railroad
connections, could not, possibly, in
juriously affect Portland.

THE BLACK PLAGUE.-In our dis
patches will be found distressing ac-
counts of the plague in Russia. 1t
has also made its appearance in South
America, as will be seen by the fol
lowing dispatch, dated Rio Janeiro,

black plague has made its appearance
in the proyince-of Ceara. Five doc.
tors have been sent there.'

LAND GRABBING AND SUICIDE.

During the past year certain par
ties have been very oficious in the
matter of looking out defects in the
title Of lands, especially in Marion
county, Using the same, in some in
stances, for levying blackmail. Among
the victims Of this gang of land
grabbers, was Mr.. Settlemeir, who
lives at Woodburn Station, Marion
county. Coming to Oregon at an
early day, by industry and fngality,
he had raised a family. improved his
land, and was enjoying a pleasant
home, little dreaming of the trouble
and anguish that was in store forhin,.
These land grabbers, in their quest
O.: i'll G otten gain, discovered a slight
defect in his title, perhaps a clerical
error, and as we learn, demanded a
sum of money, or the alternative of
a vexatious and expensive law suit
Mr. S. determined to stand by his
rights, feeling conscious that he had
gained the title to his land honestly
and fairly. The land-grabbers being
versed in the tcchnicalities Of law,
succeeded in appealing from court to,
court until an adverse decision. TO
Mr.. Settlemeir was obtained in the
United States Supreme Court, which
literally robbed him of his land and
home. The shock was too great for
his affectionate wife, who he'd, with
him, SO faithfully and persistently
struggled all these long years, and
were just beginning to enjoy the
fruits of their labora, and in a mo.
ment of temporary insanity, produced
by the paralyzing news from Wash
ington, committed suicide, by blow
ing her brains out with shot gun.
The terrible deed was perpetrated
the first part of last week. She
leaves several children to mourn lier
sudden and tragic death.
There is no effect without a cause;
and if this effect follows the actions
of those who sought through a mere
quibole or technicality, to deprive
this family of their home,-their all,
OIL earth-can the parties to it be
guiltIess d? WIFI not the blood of this
innocent wife and mother, and the
cries Of those worse than orphaned
children rise up in Judgment against
them? Can they appropriate these
ill gotten gains without realizing that
they are the price of blood ??
