SUCCESSFUL AT LAST

VIM. B. Hamilton, one of the directors of
the Yaquina Bay railroad company, and one
OF the most prominent citizens of Corvallis.
called last Tuesday on the editor of the Al
bany Democrat, and informed him that the
iron and rolling stock for the first ten miles
OF the narrow guage railroad has been con-
tracted for and will be shipped from New
Yori< on or about the Goth of this month.
On account of the great depression in the
iron business all of the large factories have
shut down, and this purchase had to be
picked up at five different small concerns.
The prlce was, consequently, little higher
than usual, but the cash is Oh deposit i'm
one of the New York banks, anil will be
paid over as soon as the iron is received on
board ship. The iron and rolling stock will
be brought around the Horn on sailing
vessel, and will arrive in San Francisco
about the first of May 1t will then be
brought up here Immediately. The contract
for getting out part of the ties has already
been let, and they will all be ON the ground
by the time iron arrives. Track laying
will then be commenced, and extra exer-
tlons Will be put forth to have the road fin
ished to Philomath by the Fourth of July,
at which time they expect to have grand
celebration and barbecue at that place.
Hurrah for the Corvallis and Yaqaina rail-
road
The above cheering and truthful state
ment ofthe situation of the Corvallis and
Yaqnina railroad, is from the Oregonias of
the Sth inst. And, although upon the 4th
page of that paper, it is an indication that
the Oregonian does not intend to " scoff - at
this grand enterprise any longer All hail,
friend Scott ! Come up, next summer, and
take spin over to the Yaquina Bay, with
us, and we promise you rich treat, in the
way of beautiful scenery, lovely harbor and
bay, splendid hotel accommodations, and a
grand feast of oysters, crabs, and fish in
endless variety

Triumph of Science.

Chemistry never achieved more decided
triumph than in the production of SOZO-
DON'T, which is botanical preparation of
wondrous efficiency in preserving and beau
tifying the teeth, rescuing them from decay,
and rendering them as white as alabaster.
1t is toilet luxury of which all should avail
themselves. The unpleasant odor commu-
nicated to the breath by catarrh, bad teeth,
ETC., is entirely obviated by this fragrant
and salutary antiseptic of which one bottle
lasts long time. Druggists and perfu-
mers sell it.

URANINE.

This is the most recently discovered, and
Perhaps the most remarkable, of all the coal
tar or analine group of co'oring substances,
now so extensively used for the adornment

to be the most highly fuorescent body
known to science. Its coloring power is as
tonlshlrg a single grain will impart a
marked color to nearly Eve hundred gallons
of water
A most interesting experiment, which
anybodySmay try, consists in sprinkling a
few atoms of Uranine upon the surface of
water in glass tumbler Each atom i'm
nlee!iately sends down through the water
what appears to be bright green rootlet !;
and the tumbles soon looks as if it were
crowded full Of beautiful plants. The root
lets now begin to enlarge, spread and COM
bine, until we have mass of soft green
eolored liquid. Viewed by transmitted
hight, the color changes to a bright golden or
amber hue; while combination of green
and gold will be realized. according to the
position i'll which the glass is held. For
day or evening experiment nothing can be
prettier than these trials of Uranine, which
are especially entertaining for the young
folks. We a. e indebted for examples of the
color to the editors of the Scientific Ameri-
can, who are sending out specimens, free of
charge, to all their readers. The subscrip-
tion to the paper is So 20 for a year, or
81 20 for half year; and better invest
ment for the money could hardly be named.

A JUSTIFICATION. Says the Eugene
Guard: During the term Of Mr.. J.. B. Un.
derwwod. as postal agent, some two years
ago, registered package sent from Myrtle
creek to Hermansville, Oregon, was lost.
Mr.. Underwood went to the place, and for
several days investigated the affair." with the
only result that he was convinced of the in
tegrity of the postmaster, Mr.. Gabbett, at
Myrtle Creek. No trace of the missing
package could be found. Mr. Underwood,
few days since, received letter from Mr..
Gabbett stating that he had received from
the special agent of the Postoffce Depart
ment at Chicago, receipt for the package ;
it having been found in mail pouch sent to
Chicago for repairs. Thus after lapse of
two years the missing matter came to light,
two thousand miles from its departure and
destination, and the good name Of Mr.. Cab
bett is left cloudless and above suspicion.

With the arrival of the steamer Oregon.
r. Kehler, of the Oregon and California
Railroad Company, returned to this State.
Since Mr.. Kehler did so much for Oregon in
influencing the German bondholders to con-
tlnue the railroad on the west side of the
Willamette, it would not be out of place
for the people in the localities benefited by
his labors. to tender him in some way their
appreciation of the result of his work. He
certainly merits this much.-Roseburg hsde.
pendent.
If the west side road is actually bull, next
season, according to oft;repeated assurances,
the people of the west side counties will not
be slow In showing their appreciation of the
iabors of Mr.. Kehler. We have no doubt,
however, that the present managers of this
5aad mean business-and we hope to hear
the locomotive whistle at Corvallis, before
the next autumn.

THE Ice GoRGE.-The Oregonian of the
18th inst. says: ''The ice gorge in the Col
umbia river which has prevented the passage
of steamers during the past two weeks, is
now almost broken, and if the prevailing
mild weather continues, no trace of ice viii
be left in day or two. The steamship Or
egon which came up to Willow bar last
week, and was compelled to return to st.
Helens, came through on Sunday night, ar
irving here at o'clock next morning. Her
officers report the river entirely open. In
her trip up from Astoria last week, the Ore
gon encountered great quantities of drift
ice, and the appearance of her iron nose is
somewhat the worse from the consequent
wear and tear The O. s. N. Company's
steamer Emma Hayward left this city for
Cascades yesterday morning but was una
BILE to reach point three miles this side of
Vancouver. She ran up into the ice and
found 1T to vary in thickness from six inches
to two feet, and the great body of it to be
firm. This gorge, which is now the only
one in the river, extends from Hathaway's
landing, three miles below Vancouver. to
point five miles above that place.

TIE BALL STARTED,
WORK HAS COMMENCED-A GOOD
BEGINNING.

1t is good sign when the news
papers of the State become alive to
public improvements, and urge the
people forward in this direction. Nc
State in the Union offers greater in.
ducement for railroads than Oregon
and there seems to be a forward
movement in these enterprises all
over the State. The Salem States.
man, of the 14th inst, has the follow
ing cheering words relative to the
narrow gauge project, in which Lane,
Linn and Marion counties are espe-
cIally interested, and which we sin
cerely hope will be speedily pushed
to completion:
The committee appointed to take action
In the matter of constructing a II ew gauge
railroad from Salem to Springfield, in Lane
county, has commenced taking subscriptions
and the Salem FIGURING Mill Company has
headed the list with a subscription of four
thousand dollars. The people of Salem will
not fail to do their part in making the pro-
posed enterprise a success. Our citizens
realize the Importance of the work and will
move at once. The proposed road will CLEAN
the best part of the Willamette valley ON
the east side of the river, no part of which
will be through unproductive country. 1t
will command larger business than the
prese MT road in proportion to its length, not,
only for grain but for lumber of the finest
quality. 1t will pass near the base of the
foothills where the finest water power is to
be found for manufacturing purposes, and
where timber in abundance is accessible. Tt
will accommodate district of country vet
undeveloped, country of wonderful capa-
bliities, up the mountain streams and far up
the mountain sides, comfortable homes can
be made for many Thousand more people than
now inhabit this district of country. Once
this road is built new impetus will be Civ
en- to all industries of every kind and all
will center here in our capital city.
1t is to be hoped that all who are able to
do something in this matter will come for
ward at once, let there be no holding back.
There are men here who have grown rich in
this place and have large property interests,
who are expected to do the liberal part in
this work. Such occasions measure the
public spirit of men and the people note it
with accuracy.
The subsidy will be raised, but it is to be
hoped that all who have an interest in the
future of this place will contribute in pro-
portion to their ability. Let not any with
hold their proportion expecting to reap the
benefits, sure to come, without doing any,
thing to bring about the desired result The
liberal and just will be prompt to act, while
the niggardly misers will hunt for excuses
to put off or refuse. |

DENIED.-In the matter of the United
States VS.. w. c. Griswold, on motion for a
new trial, Judge Deadly overruled the mo-
tion. We learn that Mr. Griswold, to re.
lease his sureties, gave himself up to the
marshal, he having been put un1er arrest at
the commencement of the trial and having
given bonds with A. Bush and John F. Mil.
Ter as sureties. The marshal took the re-
ceipt of Sheriff Ben Norden for the defend
ant who was in the Portland Jail at last ac-
counts but will, no doubt, have the privi-
leges of the Jail limits, which include 500
acres. SO he will have breathing room. I'm
der the U. s. law he will probably remain
under nominal durance for thirty DAYS.
when she can make oath to his inability to
pay the judgment of S35, 900 rendered
against him and that will release his sure
ties. This presents the case as the facts and
probabilities reach us. Our advice to Girls
wold would be to pay the Judgment, or at
least Dowel's half of it as soon as possible,
for Dowell rivals the mills of the gods that
grind slow but exceeding fne-a veritable
Nemesis. is.-Salem Statesman, 18th inst.
