railroad between the bay and Roseburg,

who were not dependent on rumor for their
Information, and we have reason to feel
very much encouraged; but we are not yet
able to announce that the road will be put
through beyond any doubt. The Roseburg

Bedford, Mass, wealthy and influential
man and large ship owner on this and the

A Disturbance.

For several Sundays past games of base
ball have beeu going on down in the north
end of town much to the disturbance of the
citizens there. The people living near there
owing to the great amount of noise, hollow
ing by the players, and the vile and indecent
language used by them, have been compelled
to regard it as nuisance. We are entirely
unaware who takes part in these games but
certainly the players should not engage in
able number of residences which disturbs
them all day Sunday.

Louis Shortridge, living on the Nestucca,
has been troubled with bears carrying off
his sheep, and day or two ago he dis
covered one among his flock. Calling some
men to aid him, he started in pursuit. By
an accident a young man in the party dis
charged his weapon and sent ball through
Mr.. Shortridge's right arm, tearing the
flesh off from the shoulder to the elbow,
and badly shattering the bone. If things
go right he will not have to lose his arm.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
Fifty Souls Gone Down to Death in Water
Grave.


Grave
On Sunday night of last week, the stea-
mer Grappler, when within four miles of
Seymour Narrows, British Columbia, burned
to the waters edge and sank. About fifty
lives were lost, mostly Cinnamon. The fire
was first discovered by the engineer about
ten o'clock in the evening, and as soon as it
was found that it could not be controlled,
the captain headed the steamer for land,
but in a short time the ropes leading to the
rudder were burned off so that it became
impossible to steer the ship. In the con-
fusion two of the ships boats were lost,
and before the passengers could be taken
ashore the fire drove them into the water,
so that only about half the lives were saved

Gospel Temperance Meeting.

The second gospel temperance meeting
was held in the college Chapel last Sunday
night Rev. Bell Of the M. E. Church
South, introduced and conducted the ser
vices. He based his remarks on that scrip
tural quotation wherein it is declared
ssEphram is joined to his idols, let him
alone" He depicted in glowing words the
terrible consequence OF resistance to moral
restraints until the fearful necessity arises
in individual cases of the execution of the
language of the text "Ephram is joined
to his idols, let him alone. We must be
under restraint to enjoy freedom. There
was no restraint inside of saloons; behind
the screens all restraint is thrown off. Rev.
Krecker of the Evangelical church was the
next speaker. He brought the subject un-
der consideration right direct before the
audience. He unquali6edly took the
grounds of total abstinence and prohibition
as the only true grounds on this temperance
question. He said the people of Corvallis
ought to sustain the city council in the last
ordinance on high license. The fact of it
all is Bro. Krecker hit the nail square on
the head, by giving christians to under
stand that they ought to vote as they pray.
His remarks were very brief and pointed.
Rev. Hanna was next, he called attention to
the Rachebites as scriptural examples for
total abstinence. He thought we needed
more enthusiasm ON the subject and less
fanaticism. Rev. Wolverton of the Chris
tian church was the last speaker. He re-
garded it the churches duty and mission
to handle this question; he wanted pnre
gospel temperance. He was encouraged to
see the interest manifested by all the forces
engaged in the temperance work.

OF FASHION.
1t is highly gratifying to us to allude to
the fact that NJ. j. Greenbnrg has returned
from San Francisco and received one of the
most complete stocks of goods in their line
that has ever been brought to Lewiston.
As visit to their fashionable bazaar will at
once Salty the most sceptical, as they
spared no time or expense i'll the selection
VI goods at San Francisco, determining to
have nothing but the best and the latest,
hence their stock contains all the latest
styles and novelties in Clothing, Dry Goods,
Boots j. Shoes, Hats, Underwear, Dress
Goods &c, while their stock of furnishing
goods is immense, and their Novelties all
that anyone can desire. 1t is a rare treat
to visit this magnificent establishment aud
look at the immense stock of ladies dress
goods, ranging from robe that would
grace princess to the rare print that our
own imperial girls grace. Shoes that would
put TO the blush Cinderella. Hats that
cannot fail to add to the bronzed youth OF
the prairie, and suits of clothes that would
have excited the envy of Solomon in palmy
days of his imperial purple. In fast any.
thing can be found at N. J. Greenburg
Co.'S, from a paper of pins to complete
wedding outfit, and it is pleasant to have
NJ. j. Greenburg ~or his accommod ating
assistants show their goods. Such. an es
Enlistment and such stock Of goods

FROM THE EAST,

Mr. Ceilings returned form the East
on Tuesday. He comes via the North
ern Pacific from Chicago, where he had
remained most of the winter He left
Moody, his partner, in Chicago not in
very good health, but expects to be able
to come out in short time hence. Mr..
G ollings has homestaad entry about six
miles east of Lewiston, which he is now
making improvements upon and will make
a permanent home in Nez Perez county.
He reports hard sci ge of 300 miles stag
ing en- route here over very bad roads
and poor stage stock This was in clos
ing the gap between the eastern and west
ern termini of the railroads He reports
the grading of this gap nearly completed.
The tunnelling is progressing rapidly and
Mr.. Ceilings is quite confident that the
road will be ready for through travel the
coming rail-. At present they want more
men on this end Of the unfinished section
Mr.. Ceilings says that the rush Of emf
grafton west into Dakota is immense, and
as far west as the road Is completed. But
that they find the Montana valleys colo
and too cold for successful wheat raisin.
and fruit raising. He says they inform
him tina, Idaho and Washington will hav,
to furnish them with wheat and fruit
that the wheat raised in Montana doe
not make good -four, but nearly all be
comes nipped by frosts. Mr.. &. is con
fident that as soon as the railroad is com
pleted the rush of immigration to tn,
west side of the Rockies will be yer,
great. This North West is largely ad
vertised now in the East, and the winter
in the East have been so severe tina
thousands have become anxious to chang
for a better climate.
