t.Tweive Mile House" Burned.

Last Friday afternoon the residence of
Mr. Vim. Gird, long known as the twelve
mile house,. the old stage station, IL miles
south of Corvallis, was destroyed by fire.
The fire either caught from the fue or on
the roof, snd ali efforts to save the building
were of no avail Some of the furniture
and household goods were removed from the
building but were also burned, caused by a
change in the Wind, which however was a
fortunate circumstance, as the barn and
other out buildings would most certSinly
have been burned had it not been for the
change The house was insured with the
Home Insurance Co., of Salem, for $500,
which will coyer only about one-third of the
loss. The house was occupied by Mr.. NJ.
O'Connor, who lost almost all of his posses
sions, not saving enough clothing for every
day wear.

EDS. GAZETTE:
This country is now resting under cloud
in consequence of the strike ON the o. P. R.
R., and the incendiary burning OF tunnel
No. 2. just when we were expecting the
good time long looked for, when the road
should be completed to Corvallis, some per-
son or persons too far lost to all human feel
ing, burned the tunnel, and this crippled
and impaired the trade that was benefting
the country many thousand dollars. The
people over here condemn the burning in
the most positive terms and that the per-
petrators of the crime should be punished to
the fullest extent of the law. What good
can be accomplished by embarrassing the
company in the wanton distinction of their
property, and thus prevent them frcm dong
as well by their creditors they would do
if left alone to operate the road IN peace.
No one who has the welfare of the country
at heart can countenance such acts of o.
ence, for moment. 1t ems to ME that
the organization who have undertaken to
control the road and prevent work by force
partalxes more of NIB than the strikers
and they can not get the sympathy and sup

FLORAL PAAgY.

On Friday the 24th, the Y. w. c. T. U.s
of this city gave another of tlseir pleasant
tea parties, It the residence of r NJ.
Thompson, an invitatation was extended to
the Albany Y. W. c. t. u, which was ac-
cepted, and at half past seven carriages
from Albany arrived bringing the Supt and
some twenty five members, both ladies and
gentleman, the latter being honorary mem
bers. They brought the Corvallis Union
scme beautiful floral tribntes. A lovely
harp made Of pansies on moss, with gold
braid for the strings and pillow OF snow
balls and rose buds, We're presented! from
the Albany Union, ami beautiful SHIELD
of punsies and snow balls from the State
Supt, Mrs. Mark Brown.
After the usual ilftr.niuctions a few words
of welcome were spoken III behalf of the
Corvallis Union by their Snpt followed by
the serving OF tea, etc, AMI all those who
have tasted 3he gooi things prepared by
the fair hands of the 7. W. can well imag-
iae the delicious caochola5e cake, grange
anbrosia etc G ,ol music was rendered
throu gh the avein5, one feature Al the eve
ning which ere .sed asueh merriment, was a
G.psy coming with i basket OF f'wers tell
ing the fortunes of the y"uns people. The
President of She Albany Uuian. Mss KIRK
patrick, favored them with a few very ap
proptiate and interesting remarks. Re-
marks were also ma lie by Mr.. L. E Blaine,
5upt. of Asi,any Union by Mr.. sturgill in
behalf of the honary members of the Union
of this city, and by an honorary member OF
the Albany Union, whose name We failed
to learn, also by Miss Howard of Albany,
who spoke with much earnestness about the
great work which lies before them as Y. W.
of the Union Miss Custer of Phiiomath
Union, made few remarks showing that
her heart was M the work.
Tne whole evening passed of very pleas
antly, althru n we learn that very pleas
ant part of the pro granme was omitted on
account of time and also room to carry out
their plans Such a Union is a credit TO
any city, as it helps to elevate the standard
of womanhood and manhood, wherever
such an organization exists. The organiza-
| ton is new in Oregon, but, as the Supt. of
Albany said, we are sure Of its being an Or
| ganization of vast influence in the state at
some not far distant day.

Meeting OF Railrdad ore d,tors

A meeting WIS held ON Wednesday of
this week near Philomath by unsatisfed
men who claimed their grievance was be-
cause they could not get their pay from the
Railroad Company. We learn that there
was but little enthusiasm manifested at the
meeting, but few had anything to say and
little interchange of ideas as to what they
desired were given. And we also learned
that quite number Of persons were present
from idle curiosity to see what was going
on and whom the Railroad Company did
not owe anything. We also learned that
acommittee was appointed to interview the
Railroad Company on terms of settlement
and the same resolutions were passed as
was published in this paper last week and
which were passed at a similar meeting held
in this place. 1t certainly must be the case
that good and law abiding citizens must
condemn and disfavor chat part of their
resolutions which goes to preventing the
railroad trains and operations from going
forward. If prevented by force or without
legal authority those who thus prevent
trains from running would become viola
tors of the law and would be subject to
punishment. Our Jaw goes further than
this because it makes punishable by severe
penalties any person to make such person
do or not do something against their will
Those creditors of the company who desire
and threaten to stop trains from running on
the road are centainly standing in their own
light and work against their own financial
interests, because aside from the conven-
len ,e the road Is to the public, while run
Mug the train from financial point of view
can earn about $1,000 per week, and hence
the company would be $1,000 per week bet
ter able to pay their creditors when the
aims run than when laying idle. Since
last week the Railroad Company have set
tied with the striking engineers, trainmen
and bridge builders. and have also; during
the present week, partially paid many to
whom they were indebted along the line OF
the road 1t is to be hoped that the COM
pany will be in condition to pay every thing
up before long so that the enterprise may
90 a head ard come out from under the
cloud of difficulties in which it seems to be
| entangled.

MONROE, April 26tl, 1885.
The past week has registered a frost for
every morning but we see no injury from it
except in gardens where potatoes were
sowed too early.
The residence of Mr., Gird, north Of
town was burned last Friday night. Ws
did rot learn his loss. 1t was partially in
sured.
Oar fellow townsman and timer has gone
with the wild geese, only he went south
while they went north. We wish him all
kinds of good luck, and hope Grants Pass
may prove a place of pleasure and prosperi
ty to him,
Grain looks fine and surely all things
looks propititious for the farmer.
