The twentieth session of the Grand Lodge
will be held in Corvallis commencing on the
third Tuesday in June 1884:
The session just closed was quite largely
| attended and interesting throughout From
statistics obtained from the reports of the
e. w. C. T., and G. Sec., we learn that the
Order is prosperous both numerically and
financially. The net gain in membership
during the past year being over one thous
and members.
The Juvenile work consisting of Juvenile
Templars and Bands of Hope are under the
direct supervision of the Grand Lodge.
The Good Tenplar Orphans Home fund
| is under the management of board of trus
| tees appointed by the Grand Lodge. From
the report of the trustees we learn thai
about $4,000 has been raised by the Order
| for the purpose of erecting home for or
phans. The Dalles has been selected a.
the place for erecting said home.
The lecture fund is kept up by levying
per capita tax of 20 cts, per member quar-
terly upon the membership Of subordinate
| lodges. The funds thus raised are suffi-
| cient to keep lecture force in the field
| Since the organization of the Grand Lodg.
in October 1865, nearly forty thousand dol
lars have been expended for the prosecution
OF the temperance work in Oregon, ant
through the efforts of this organization
much has been accomplished in educating
the public mind in favor of the proposed
prohibitory amendment to our state CON
stitution.

The Hon. Jas. Chambers who has been
keeping the store at the Siletz agency has
been sick for some time and is still in poor
health. It seems that he first took severe
cold which settled upon his lungs and by
is likely to result fatally. We are informed
that parties went over to the agency some
days ago to move him out to his old home,
but after arriving there it was thought not
best for him to make the trip at present
Mr.. Chambers many friends will regret
much to learn of his severe illness.

Largest Fails in the World.

Whatcom Reveille says: A recent dis
covery on the head of the Cowlitz River,
reveals and establishes the fact that Wash
ington Territory can now boast of the
grandest waterfall in the known world-its
height being l;500 feet These falls are
], 300 feet higher than the famous Niagara
Falls. The Nooksack Indians assert pos
itively that waterfalls higher than the tallest
fir, pine or cedar tree are to be found on the
extreme headwaters of the Nooksack River
in this county. As that section of the
county has never yet been explored by the
white man, there is no good reason for
doubling the statement. From the COM
parison given by the Indians, these falls
must be at least Ats feet in height, which
would lay over the famous Snoqualmie Falls,
of King County, by at least 200 feet.

Picnic.

The picnic had at this place last Friday
peaceably with no disturbance to interfere
with the enjoyment of the days proceed
| ings. The crowd was not so large as we
have heretofore witnessed at this place on
such occasions. But the happy 'and pleas
ant appearing faces present on the occasion
indicated that they enjoyed the days pro-
ceedings. Seats had been arranged in the
shady grove in front of the court house,
and about eleven o'clock the people assem-
bled there and listened to appropriate ad-
dresses from Judges Burnett, McFadden
and others and after some nice music from
the Philomath band, who did their part
well, the crowd sought dinner and in the
afternoon witnessed the foot-racing, wrest-
ling, &c. There did nst appear to be as
much enthusiasm as generally on such oc-
casions here, except by an active few who
seemed to be the paternity of the affair.
All things considered the picnic was no
doubt good could have been expected
taking into consideration all of the circum-
stances which seemed to make somewhat
against it. The crowd was not permitted
to witness the usual picnic fights and DIS
turbances of the peace similar to the ones
which occurred recently at Monroe and near
Philomath. The fact of the business is the
peace officers of our city have been in the
habit of making things terribly hot for
''evil doers" and they usually give our town
wide birth or else keep very quiet while
here. If the peace officers of Monroe would
do their duty in like manner their town
would soon be shuned by the roughs also

BRIDGE BURNED.
Accident on the Oregon and Ca1tforni<
Railroad-Tratn Dumped.

Railroad-Train Dumped.
The gravel train, engaged in ballasting
and repairing along the line of the road,
backed down from Albany and loaded sever
al fiat cars with wood In returning about
noon, when rounding curve, one and a
half miles below Albany, the engineer dis
covered a bridge only few rods ahead of
him on fire. He reversed his engine and
put OH all possible steam, but too late to
prevent an accident. Himself and fireman
jumped to save themselves. The engine
went onto the burning structure which gave
way letting it drop through to the ground,
distance of about twenty feet. The fiat
cars loaded with wood piled top of the
engine and all were consumed together.
Several Cinnamon were considerably bruis-
ed in jumping from the fiat cars, but none
were seriously injured. A messenger was
sent to Albany with the news and the fire
department of that city responded nobly,
taking their steam engine to the scene of the
disaster, putting out the fire and saving the
remainder of the train and portion of the
DrluSe. 1ue engine IenueE was GQroWn
bottom upwards some twenty or thirty feet
from the burning structure, thus saving it
from entire destruction. The fireman is
said to have lost $3.50 in greenbacks and
gold watch, which were in his clothing and
were hanging up in the cab. Mr.. DeClark,
the roadmaster, went up Sunday night
with a force of men to clear away the
wreck and repair the damages. A tempo
rary track was laid down and the damaged
engine hauled up and placed on the rails
again. All the wood work was burned off
and much of the other parts injured. The
engine No. 20, was new one, and about as
valuable one as is owned by the company.
1t will cost two or three thousand dollars to
put it in running order again. A temper
ary track was constructed, enabling trains
to pass, by P. NJ. on Monday, when the
regular mail train from Portland came
through, followed by the Lebanon express.

Elegant Pfcrurea.

Mr.. W. 81. n. Grant of Portland has on
exhibition at the, Occidental hotel in this
place quite lot of very handsome portrait
paintings finely finished in oil collors. Mr..
Grant will be in this vacinity about one
month during which time, he will make a
thorough canvass of the county taking or
ders from parties who desire photographs
and tin types enlarged to Life size oil paint
ing. These pictures are all fine in the ex-
treme each one having all of the most mi
mute expressions of the person in life and
displaying fine taste in the blending of
shades and colors. The beauty of the work
is equal to any work on the coast. The
best feature of it all is that the artist is
Mr.. Horace Duesbury, a five or six years
resident of Portland, SO that the money
paid for this work will remain at home and
go to patronize home talent and enterprise
Mr.. Duesbury is an artist of rare talents
and who before coming to Oregon his
adopted home spent several years travelling
all over Europe, during which time he spent
much of his time in Paris and Italy study

ing this work there is no danger Of loosing
your photographs. The prices of these su-

hundred dollars each, owing to size, style

has secured the orders from great many of
the most popular and first class people of
the state many of which have already been

kind of work done you can not do better
than to patronize this home talent. It is
far better than to send orders to foreign ir-
responsible parties as many have done.

art. Mr.. 7. J. Buford and other prominent

the missionary concert given at Simpsons
Chapel last Sabbath. A good looking, in.
telligent audience came from far and neal
to enjoy it. The programme was rather
long but all judging from their attention
aud quiet order felt good interest to the
last. The little folks came first on the
programme. Were well represented and
some of them, especially Ethel Starr, Min.
ME Waggoner, Leonard Howard and Maggie
Woodcock particularly distinguished them
selves by their pretty behavior. as well as
in what they had to say. Mrs. Silas Starr
then gave thoughtful essay on ''The i'm
provement of the Race" This she truly
said is slow; and aptly compared it in detail
to the geological development of the earth.
It has taken time for the world to reach its
present state and still it moves on slowly
towards an end, if not perfection itself at
least of fargreater excellence. Mr.. r. ].
Nichols read a stormy Ipaper on morality
in the Acquisition of Wealth, }" in which he
claimed that all business exchanges are
morally wrong unless made upon the prin-
ciple of equivalent for equivalent. From
this automatic truth he argued that specu.
lation pursued as vocation is nothing short
Of gambling. and insisted even further that
nine tenths of all speculation is morally
wrong. Mr.. Willis c. Hawley by request
repeated his Grafton on 'The Conflicts of
Life, which he had but two or three days
before delivered at the commencement ex-
ercises of willamette University. As it has
been highly spoken Of elsewhere we shall
only say that it was treat to all that heard

good thoughts and useful suggestions.
Rev. F. P. Belknap followed with a few
remarks in which he characterized the con.
cert as a success in a literary point Of view
but rather off from the text. Upon his
saying this good many thought it would
have been weary congregation indeed had
all that was said been confined strictly to
the text of missionary work. The Rev.
however, very aptly brought the attention
of all to the object of the concert, the col
lection was taken and sI2 90 were added
to what was already over 500, for the year
for the missionary cause. The. music was
throughout fully up to the excellence for
which the neighborhood is famed. Rev. P.
NJ. Starr pronounced the bene1iction and
all returned to their homes, at least satisfied
in having been present. These Missionary
concerts occur quarterly and are fixed and

All join with alacrity and spirit to make
them interesting, and they are always well

New Markets.

The Virginia City Enterprise pub
fishes lengthy description of the route
Of the Carson and Colorado railroad,
which 1t thinks lies through q land of
promise. The road is now built to a
point on this side of the California line,
and the route will take in, on its way 10
the southwest, the towns of Benton,
Bishops Creek and Independence, and
in passing through the Owens river val.
ley will traverse good agricultural
country, though the chief dependence
of the road will apparently be the trade
of the mining districts. The southern
terminus will be Mt Mohave, on the
Southern Pacific. 1t is not hard road
TO build after crossing the White
mountains range, and that part of the
line is already completed. Trains are
expected to be running into Benton,
Mono county, on the LIST of January.
The course of this road is somewhat de.
vious and the main object OF its con-
struction has been, and will so continue,
to furnish transportation to as many
mining districts as possible. Thus far it
has done good business, which increases
with its extension. When it reaches
Mojave it will place this vicinity in con.
nection with the markets of great
many rich and prosperous mining camps,
and the increase in the demand and price
for hay, now our principal crop, will be
considerable.

Payment for Slaves.


Pierre Nogus, a French citizen, resi-
dent in Louisiana at the beginning of
the war; has, it is reported, induced the
French-American Claims Commission to
allow him six hundred dollars as the
price of slave he lost, with interest on
that sum from the time of the loss. Ii
that is valid allowance what is the
meaning of these words in the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution OF the
United States!-'Neither the United
States nor any State shall assume or
pay any claim for
the loss or emancipation OF any slave;
bat all such claims shall be held illegal

Vi any citizen Of the United States, but
''any claim, " which ought to be broad
enough. If this forbids really the pay.
