Miss Fydget had just come in from
long and bootless search through the pas
ture for wandering brood of young
turkeys which had been missing since
morning
She was warm and tired; one boot was
burst open on the side; her sun bonnet
hung limp at the back Of her head; her
gray curls We're in true artistic confusion,
and vicious blackberry briar had torn
her hands until she looked as if she
might have been in skirmish with the
| Zulus.
"But wouldn't have minded all that"
was Miss Fydgets melancholy comment
to herself, "if only I could have found
my young turkeys! They do soy that
there is company of tramps loating
around the country, and"
Just then the mild voice of an old
man sitting on the well curb broke in
upon the thread Of her refection-an
old man in shabby gray coat, buttoned
closely across his chest, shoes thickly
coated with dust, and q rude cane cut
from the woods, upon which he rested
his folded hands
Miss Fydget stared at the Old man;
the old man returned her gaz-; depreciat-
ingly.

the stranger, elevating his voice semi

Fydyet, naturally somewhat .rritated.

6 months and 30 days.
Robert was young man of fair promise,
good morals, rare intellect, and the univer-
sal friend of all with whom he met To
meet him here, was to receive pleasant
smile and friendly greeting. His associa-
tion was manly and agreeable; his actions
portrayed a happy disposition. He was
born, and lived i'll Benton county until a
few months prior to his death, when he, ac-
companied by his parents, removed to a
mountain home west of Eugene City, hop
ing to receive the beneficial influence of the
mountain air. But, alas dire disease de-
fed the best medical skill and Natures heal
ing balm. He fell asleep in death on the
morning of the 7th of january. He met
his fate with the resignation and fortitude
that had characterized his every action dur

circle of relatives and friends to mourn his
regretted departure.

work of grading was pushed with
vigor, until the funds and all resources
of the company were exhausted, and
the weather became too bad for fur
ther work-the grading stopping a
little short of the ten mile stake. 1t
was estimated that $4,000 would
purchase the iron and rolling stock,
narrow gauge, for the first ten mile
section. The grade, for good and
sufficient reasons, was afterwards
changed to standard gauge. The
S35 900 were subscribed-notes given
for the payment within certain
time. Some of the notes were prompt
ly paid-but the croakers commenced
their work-and many refused to
pay their notes unless legally COM
PEELED to do so. All this consumed
time. Finally the company, as an
indication of good faith on their part,
borrowed the balance of the money,
and ordered the iron, dc. But in
consequence of the unavoidable de-
Law, it did not arrive at Portland, last
season, until the river had become
too low to allow its transportation to
Corvallis. Much of it still lies jim
Portland, but will be shipped hither
in .ime to be laid early this season.
Here the matter rests-and these are
the reasons for its present status. Is
this an answer to the reason why?
We leave it for candid, thinking,
unprejudiced public to say where
the blame properly rests? Had those
notes been promptly paid, as stipu-
lated, and the grading completed,
the first ten miles would l0e been
completed, last summer, and Philo-
math would be enjoying degree of
prosperity unprecedented by any
town in Oregon. according to its pop
ulation. Our readers can draw their
own inferences as to the friendship of
the Cruci6le to the railroad.

FROM ALsEA BAY.

Ed. GAZETTE: It may be of interest to
at least few of your readers to hear frolR
this remote part of Benton county. We
have had, for the past two weeks, unprece-
dentAd stormy weather for this portion of
the sgarden of Oregon" December 2lst
we had snow five inches deep. Since which
we have had the severest gales known to
settlers-blowine down large spruce trees,
upsetting chicken houses and everything
else that would yield to the wild ravages of
the element.
The coast mail carrier arrived here from
the Siuslaw the 7th, almost exhausted, after
swimming streams and winding his way
around the sides of mountains through brush
and over rock. Being new conner, he had
an Indian guide who once on the hazardous
trip, while swimming a stream, was carried
into the surf, and came near perishing in the
angry waves This coast mail route is a
nuisance, as it is of no benefit to any one
except the contractor. There is nothing
goes or comes in it to the Siuslaw, and if
there was i would never reach its destina-
ton, this time of year, as the mail bags are
drenched with water.
The subject of toll road from your
thriving city to this bay is being agitated
by our citizens. There is one thing sure
we need road tothe interior, without pay
ing tribute to Yaquina Bay, and we are un-
able to build it, and the county is unwilling
to build it. What is the next best 1t is
anything to get road, with us. There are
more settlers to use this proposed road than
there are to use the Yaquina road north of
the bay, and there is as much to invite
pleasure seekers here as there is on the va
quina Why then should we not have a
road We favor toll road, if any company
will take the project in hand, as it is better
for traders to pay for a good road than to
go over such one as the faquina road is
now for nothing.
Mr.. Ruble Of Alsea valley has bought
out an occupant and settled on the south
and saw mill in Alsea valley, and has brought
down some four or five scow boats of flour,
and other staples, from that place. Mr..
Holgate, of that section, has also taken him
home by the sea-" besides other families,
mot bachelors) are settling in our new
country.
Mr.. Hobart, late of Albany, occupies the
place nearest the beach on the north side of
the bay. He intends to keep traders and
run ferry, and keep boats to accommodate
the travel generally. The postoffice is also
kept by him and he thinks his place is the
headquarters. We are glad to still see
you, Mr.. Editor, laboring for the early COM
pletion of the Coast Railroad, and we will
hail with JOY the happy moment it isconsum-
mated. It will help us here, as well as on
the Yaquina, and in fact it will benefit us
all mere or less, the valley as well as the
coast country. When will it come?

THREE CHEERS FOR THE wEs1sIpE
A NEW ERA IN BENTON.

Last Monday afternoon the first
construction train of the Oregon Cen
trail railroad company entered the
corporate limits of the s Heart of the
Valley" For several days our citi-
zens had been on tiptoe about this
grand event. For twenty seven
years we have been waiting and
watching" for the iron horse. Dur
ing all that time we have never
doubted that Corvallis would be a
railroad center. All we lack, now,
to complete our long cherished hopes
and fondest anticipations is, the COM
pletion of the Yaquina road, forming
junction, as it will, with the West
side road. It's completion is as GER
tain as anything can be, in this
world, that has not already trans.
pired.
Last Tuesday Mr.. r. Koehler,
Vice President, and MIR. j. Brandt,
jr.. Superintendent, of the o. G. r.
r., came up and examined the road.
Of course the road is not in condi-
tion TO- allow fast time, but will be
improved as fast as possible. We
congratulate the company upon the
success of their enterprise, and upon
the energy and perseverance display
ed in pushing the work forward un-
der the most adverse circumstances.
Mr.. Koehler said he intended to com
plete the road TO Corvallis this sea-
son, and he has made his words
good. We congratulate our citizens,
and the westside counties, upon the
good fortune that has befallen them
in securing another outlet to market.
Three cheers for the Westside road
