a Telephone system Gor Bontoa County.

Mr. EDITOR GAzErrE:-The Corvallis
and Piilonnath Telephone system has now
been in operation fs,r about years and has
become we'll established and useful insti-
tuition. AS business venture it has proved
an entire success. paying clear of all ex-
psnses high rate of interest the in
vestnent. I think the time has now ar
rived when an extension of the telephone to
other points in the country is urgently re-
quired. a line from Philomath into Kings
Valley would be of great benefit to people
there in giving them direct communication
with the county seat and it would also be
advantageous to the people of Corvallis by
drawing closer the business ties existing
between them and this outlying portion Of
the county.
line from Corvallis to Monroe with a
hallway station would be a like reciprocal
advantage. It is, also, a business necessity
of the immediate future to make con-
nection between the terminus Of the O. ?.
R. Co.'S telephone line at Y4quina and tie
city of Newport.
pay amply for the investment, besides be-
ing of business Importance in other ways.
Not being prepared TO alone undertake the
construction of thsse and other much needed
lines, l have concluded in concert with
some friends to place the concern in the
form of County Joint Stock Co, and thus
all those who are most affected by the de-
velopnleDt of the Telephone system can OBJ
tain voice and interest in t. It insy, also,
not be amiss to state that I had in contem-
plation this spring an extension to Albany
aad the establishment system there
and later on further extension to Salem,
but on application to the Pacific Bell Tele-.
phone Co. of San Francisco for license
was informed thst they themselves had
under consideration e general telephone
syste:n for the principal Willamette Valley
towns and pending the development Of their

The following loving epistle was handed
to a reporter the other day. The names
re withhold: Dearest B, my love is
stronger than the smell of coffee. patent
butter or the kick of a young COW. SEN
sations of exquisite joy go through me like
cohorts of shippers through Limbur ger
cheese and caper over my heart like young
goats on stable roof. felt as if I could
lift myself up by my boot straps to the
height of a church steeple, or like an old
stage horse in a green pasture AS the
mean pup haukers after sweet milk, SO do /
banker after yeur presence And as the
costing swinl,nith in the mud puddle, SO do
swim in sea Of delightfulness when you
are near me. My heart fops up and down
like a chnrn dasher, aad my eyes stand open
like cellar doors in a country town; and if
my love is not reciprocated, will pine
away and die like a poisoned bed-bug, and
you can come and catch cold on my
grave. CHARLEY.

Schooner DisahIad.

On the 10th inst. the schooner Coquille
met with an accident in attempting to go TO
sea from Bandon, says the Cosst lfai1.
From some caase or other the ting tailed to
haadle the schooner successfully, and she
went ashore on the north spit, after which
the tide raised and she driftad off iato the
river and against rock, which carried sway
her stern post and about 20 feet of her keel
The Coquifle was taken back to Bandon, un
loaded, repaired, and reloaded, and is no
doubt well on her way to San Francisco by
this time.

The Chinese hospital under the joss house
in Portland is about the hardest place next
to a hog pen in ths city for a human being,
says the Standard The Chinese are sup
posed to take care Of their SICK and decrepit
and the way they discharge the duty conveys
an impression that makes them tired. There
are at present four sich men in that place,
one in room. They have no couchss, but
lie on the hard floor with blanket or two
around them and greasy bundle for e Pill
low. Two of the usR sick wore blown up
in a giant powder advertisement and the
others had disease. They tried hard to
make their condition known to white men
who wen. to look az the place, but could not
be understood Close by is the dead house,
where they Who enter leave hope behind.
One room that contained sick man was
kept locked. Probably it was feared that
he weuld get up and run OF. The Chinese
have their own physicians and their peculiar
medical treatment, and it is reasonable to
suppose that ihey are, IL a majority of cases
successful in restoring their sick to health
but white man who would treat his hogs
as the Chinese treat their sick, would be
prosecuted. II shows the character of the
heathen.

SiaguIar Accident

Rev. L. A. Banks, while getting out of
his buggy few days since, inflicted slight
scratch on his little finger, says the Ore
goniaa. A day or two after, while calling
at friends, he YVES presented with some
easter eggs, dyed in various colors. While
carrying these home, wrapped In paper, it
came on 10 rain and the co!oring matter
from the eggs stained his hand, some of it
getting into the scratch on his little finger.
The next day the wound infamel and his
arm became swollen to the shoulder and
was very painful. For two days and nights
he suffered much and was somewhat alarmed
for the consequence, but at the end of tha
time the swelling went down, and he is now
experiencing but little trouble from the
finger. The eggs were probably dyed with
aniline. which is known to be poisonous.
Many fatal accidents have been caused by
the use of elothing dyed with anillne, and
pencils and inks formed of the ssme ma
terial. Too much.care cannot be used in
handling anything iato. the composition OF
which aniline enters.
