by spontaneous combustion of waste in the

Thousands of people were aroused from
their slumbers and the wharves were lined
with people, all anxious to do something to

Immigrants to the Northwest.

A recent dispatch from San Francisco
announces the fact that: A large number
of immigrants have arrived here during the
past few days, en- route to Oregon and
Washington Territory. This afternoon the
ticket Office on Montgomery street was be-
seiged by a crowd of men and women, who
expect to leave for the north during the
present week. It is evident that the bust
ness done at that Office recently is such as
to tax the ticket agents to the utmost. as it
not unfrequently happens that three, and
even four. steamers, some for southern ports
sail on the same day. Even on days when
no steamers are announced to sail for the
north, it invariably happens that the line
of parties desiring to secure passage extends
from the office well into the street.

Cali a Halt.

The entertainment given on last Friday
night was in part conmendable, and in par.
disgraceful. shocking the feelings of the
more refined portion of the large audience.
The low course performance of the minstrels
in more than one of the scenes should be
frowned down by every lover of good society.
I refer to the clog dance and sstag dance
and prize fight Think of dozen of our
young men (mostly students) blacking
themselves and one half of them clothing
themselves in female attire and these young
people coming out on the stage Before re-
fined audience representing southern plan
tation scene OF. Negroes and Negro wenches
on grand iamboree and a professors son
playing the banjo.
Has our Agricultural College come to this?
If so let us correct these evils promptly or
turn it over to men who can control 1t and
the students sent here and educated through
the generosity of the state.

Expensive Fishing.

The newspapers of the State have beer
publishing an item to the effect that Mrs
J. c. Tolman, of Jackson county, recently
procured for her carp pond one of those ex-
cellent fish. which cost her S32. That is a
pretty large sum for one little fish, but is
trifiing when compared with the experience
of Mr.. N. K. Barber, the popular postmaster
of Corvallis. In order to relieve the monot-
ony of official life, last summer. he procured
a suitable fishing outfit and went into the
Coast mountains i'll quest of game After
an absence of three days he returned to his
familiar post, having caught one trout,
which cost him 800. As fish stories are al
ways in order, we will anxiously await re-
turns from Eastern Oregon, Southern Ore
gon having been heard from.

West Side Railroad.

The engineering corps for the extension
of the West Side Railroad to Junction ar
rived in town last Tuesday evening ready
for immediate work, consisting of the fol-
lowing named gentlemen: Alex E. Abend,
j. D. Moore, F. Fl. Westerinan, Lee Clin-
ton, Ed Barker, Chas. Wilds, J. w. Good
ings. 1t is understood that the work will
be continued forward until the road is COM
pleted to junction. 1t is only very few
weeks ago that Mr. Willard announced to
the people of Portland that this work would
soon be undertaken which is now being
done promptly. After all that has been
said about Wizards railroad matters, there
is one thing certain, and that is that he is a
man of deeds as well as words. His ability
to do seems to enable him to comply
promptly with his announcements.

| The Good Templars of Kings Valley
have basket picnic at Watson's bridge
to-day.
When yon come to town to do business,
never patronize person who does not ad-
vertise in your county paper; because the
advertiser gains the largest patronage. by
the use of printers lux and by SO doing. he
can always sell to you cheaper, than the
party can who waits for the customers to
happen along and stumble over his place OF
business Before he learns that the dealer has
anything for sale. Always patronize the
man who advsrtises, in your best friend, the
county paper.
On Thursday evening about midnight the
FIRE bell gave the signal of fire and it was
discovered that the slaughter house of Andy
limerick in the suburbs of the city had fall
en- prey to the fire fiend, but the discovery
was made so late that all efforts to check
the flames proved of no avail and the build
ing and contents were totally destroyed.
1t seems as though Mr.. limerick had been
rendering tallow that day in the building
and on leaving the premises some fire still
remained and it is supposed that the burn
ing originated therefrom. The loss is es-
timated at $780,
Since publishing the item regarding the
death Of Mr. Metzger formerly of this
county but resident of Dayton, w. T., at
the time of his death. we have been in
formed of an error or two which we therein
made. The grist mill near Philomath was
Metzger Mr.. Hairless owning two-thirds
thereof and Mr.. Metzger the remaining
third instead of the latter having built
and owned all of it. The latter sold his
interest to Mr.. Pierson formerly of this
county and Mr.. Hairless sold his part to
the late Thomas Reader of Monroe.

LESsoh III SPELLING.

Since the introduction of spelling matches, many
words have come prominently into notice-wordz
that were previously, comparatively unknown For
instance weird Antiseptic meaning: preventing and
stopping all fermentation and decomposition, and
Analgesiant: pankiller. Then there is Antpyretic:
cooling down inflammation and fever heat. These
three words, SO often mispelled, are three OF the
cardinal virtues of something that will cure many
bad spell and that is Sacyica, pronounced Sal-cyl
i-ca Warranted to afford immediate relief. and
guaranteed to cure Rheumatism, Gout or Neuralgia.
