spaded and raked down to a very

The RIVER, ETc.-On Saturday
evening, after thirteen hours of
running from Salem, the two Ore
Pacific steamboats,, the VIM. M.
Hoag and Three Sisters arrived at
the wharf in this city with seventy
tons of freight. The Sisters, ground
ed.upon a bar between here and
Albany and was compelled to re-
main in such position until the
Hoag, which had not started out
at the same time with her, came
along, and a portion of the cargo
was transferred to it, thus enabling
her to- be gotten off. The water
was then only eighteen inches
above low water mark. The
Sisters started on her down trip
on Sunday morning and on Mon
day the Hoag, with a large amount
of freight and flour, started for
down-the-rive points. On We'd
nesday morning the Bentley ar
rived from Salem with twenty
eight tons of freight, having left
that city about IL o'clock the day
before and remained at Albany all
night. A couple of her paddles
were broken, caused by raking on
the bars. The river has risen but
very little with the past few days
rain, but if it keeps on at this rate
it will soon begin to boom.

DARKNESS, GOODBYE.
The First of May will Soon
be Around.
THEN ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Corvallis to Have Them by the
Above Mentioned Time
A Plant Ordered.

Spring is coming The May picnics
will soon be all the rage. The June
bugs and skeeters are on the way.
And-Corva His is going to have the
electric lights, for sure.
It will be remembered that L. l..
Hnrd, of this city, was, at a meeting of
the city council on Monday evening,
July 9, 1888, granted the exclusive
franchise for fifteen years to erect and
operate system OF electric lights in
Corvallis, the system to be in running
order by the end Of the eleventh month
from that date.
Hur-r-A!
Well, now after repeated failures
and disappoiHments in trying to
arrange matters so that he co,rld do
this, he has at last succeeded, and let's
all
Hur-r-rah !!
The latest developments are that
Corvallis will be Illuminated by cleo
tricity by the tirst of the merry month
of May-just the time when picnic
can be arranged over the event.
The system adopted is the Westing-
house incandescent light and a machine
with a compacity of 500 lamps has
been ordered direct from the factory
in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. This will
be the largest dynamo in The state out
side of Portland, and will supply any
size lamp from ten to $50 candle pow
err. The one in use in Albany has a
capacity of l60 lights, and the one in
Eugene about 140. The dynamo
ordered for Corvallis has capacity
three times greater than either, and is
said to be the finest in Oregon outside
of Por, land 1t will only be !, few days
when the agent for the machine will
arrive and reparations for erection for
the same will immediately commence.
Again, let every one, Whoop!
The GAZETTE, doesn't claim the
whole universe, etc, but it does claim
little honor in the working up Of this
electric light matter, and; after the
council granted MIR. Hurd the fran
chise, it did not say very much more,
knowing he would do all in his power to
fulfill his contract, which he at last, is
about to succeed in doing.
