LECTURE to the ADELPHIANs.

Last Tuesday evening the spacious Chap
el at the Agricultural College was crowded
to overfiowingto listen to the exercises before
the Adelphian Literary Society, which op-
ened with recitation by Miss Willard.
Hon. w. D. Fenton was the speaker chos-
en- for the occasion who delivered a very
able and instructive address. The large
crowd listened eagerly and attentively to
it. It was full of current thought and
treated of many of the National questions
the day. 1t was very able effort ami high
ly appreciated by the large audience. The
exercises closed with recitation by Leo Stock
followed by some excellent music under the
skillful hands of Prof. Miner.
After all was concluded the members of
the Adelphian went directly to the Vincent
House where the good things to eat had
been prepared and was in waiting. After
refreshments were served, the pleasure of
the evening was enlived by toasts, speeches,
etc. Mrs. Vincent was also presented with
two handsomely painted placques, by Judge
Bryson, in behalf of the society, as token
of respect and esteem in which the estima-
BILE lady is held by the society. After all
had enjoyed themselves to their hearts
content they dispersed, all uniting in saying
that the first annual reunion of the Apelph-
ian society was a grand success.

Narrow Escape.

Mr.. Long and wife of Linn county had
been visiting their son Straud Long in this
place and on Wednesday last started home.
When near the ferry below Mr.. Cauthorn's
wharf the team being young colts started
suddenly and the tongue of the hack droped
out of the neck yoke and at the same time
the tugs of one of the horses came un-
hitched which also frightened the team
very much as they continued plunging and
running in the direction of the river. The
team was on the brink of the river nearly
close enough to pitch over the steep bank,
when they stopped suddenly and everything
was put in order without any great damage
being done. 1t was narrow escape.

Funeral.

All that was mortal. of Thomas G. Alex
ander was laid to rest on last Saturday il
Crystal Lake cemetery, followed by large
number of relatives and friends. Quite a
number of pers ons from Albany were in at
tendance at the funeral. The ceremony
was performed according to the forms and
usages of the Independent Order of Odd
fellows. The procession was a large one.
The cause which led to his sudden death,
still remains shrouded in mystery. Many
theories and spcculationshave been advanced
but it is difficult to tell which one or if
either is true. The exact truth of the mat
ter will likely never be known.

Ed. OF GAzETTE:-I have thought few
notes from this place would not be out OF
date as the farmers work of seeding is fin
ished and nature is doing her work well to
perfect the growing crop.
Gardens are rather backward for this
season and the fruit crop will be very short,
perhaps almost failure.
Some sickness prevails. but the health OF
the community is generally good.
Since the game law came into force peo-
pie have resorted to the use Of cougar meat
on their tables and their is danger of that
useful animal becoming exterminated. The
next legislature should have an eye to its
protection. sIours truly,

Description of the Country.

EDITOR GAZErTE:-I presume some of
your readers would like to know something
of the country in the big bend of the Col
umbia. So will try to give my impress
sion of it in an impartial manner. After
leaving Ainsworth there is nothing to de-
light the eye of the traveller until Pa1ouse
junction is reached. Then there is some
signs of a change in the country; the sage
brush grows smaller, there is less sand and
more grass. After Rock lake is reached
the land improves in quality. The R. r.
runs along the north side of the lake miles.
Two miles above is the thriving little town
of Sprague on the N. P. R. R. Four miles
north there is fine rolling prairie black
sandy loan and as good bunch grass as can
be found in Washington Territory. All the
from here. Eight miles to timber from
Sprague. Eight miles northwest of town
is the head of the much talked of Crab
Greek; good soil, good grass and fine stock
country aroand here. As you go down the
creek it becomes rocky ON either side for
two miles; but few miles each way will
bring the land hunter to good land, but all
the time he will be going away from timber.
There is no timber to amount to anything
only on the mountains east Of here. The
country south of Sprague is better watered
country than to the north; all this country
south to Coltax is rich soil and good stock
range-The only drawback is the lack OF
timber. The land is pretty well piled up,
but that does not matter SO much as the
granger gets more land on a quarter section.
Plenty of wind power here. It appears to
be good country for colts, calves and
babies. No SAGE.

Last Wednesday w. L. Lyle arrived il
Albany direct from Prineville, says the
Democrat, after a trip of four and hall
days. There are now only about nine miles
of snow, which is about two feet deep
While on his way across he passed sis
wagon teams coming this way, and met one
going to Prineville. So that it may safely
be said that wagons can cross the mountains
now without much trouble.
