MAEY's PEAK.

lThe following is what one of the party,
who went to Mary's Peak last Friday. has
to say of his trip:l
Last Thursday party Of five, in
Guiding the writer, started for Mary's
peak. This is the highest mountain
in the Coast range and one of which
Mary ought to be proud. It is cover
ed with snow thirds of the year
on an average. The distance from
Corvallis is estimated at 20 miles, but
this must be mistake, for we stepped
it and now offer ourselves in evidence
against such an assertion. But CAN
didly, the trip might be made pleasant.
A good wagon road runs from. Cor
Wallis to within six miles of the top,
and from there very good mountain
trail leads to the summit Of the peak.
The journey over the trail can easily
be made with horses, or a pedestrian
like the writer can bite the snow in
just three hours, schedule time. It
was our first trip, and we must confess
our surprise at the sight that met our
view as we stepped upon Mary's green
Uranium. The trail is lined with thick,
heavy timber, and the constant ascent
for over four miles is hardly realized
until you step on the "brow of the
HILL" at an elevation Of 4347 feet.
From here the sight is something
grand, and as you take a bird's-eye
view of the Willamette valley and
look down on the towns of Philomath.
Corvallis, Albany, Eugene and many
others, you forget your weary limbs
and feel amply repaid for your tedious
trip. Looking to the west, the vision
glides over the Coast range mountains
and with a second hook you see the
broad Pacific kissing the sky. On the
western side of the peak is beauti-
ful. camping ground, and. there nestled

TEMPERANCE WORK.

To the w. C. T.. U. workers through
out Benton county-Greeting:
At the sessions of both the county
and state convention, our work was
presented by the superintendent of the
Sunday school department.
A lively discussion followed in the
county convention showing that deep
interest was felt in this department,
and a resolution was presented and
adopted by the conven-
ton "asking the international Sunday
school convention, in its annual meet
ing for 1890, to place the temperance
lesson on some other than the last
Sunday of the quarter"
In the state convention after the
work had been presented Mrs. L. A.
Nash, president and superintendent of
the state, presented the resolution
which had been past by the intern a
tional convention in an anual session
which was as follows:
Resolved, That with emphasis we
give expression to a conviction which
deepens with the passing years, that
every Sabbath-school should be in fact
and effect, temperance training school
fitting the rising generation for active
and aggressive effort in this and every
other department of Christian work
We trust the time may speedily come
when every teacher and scholar in our
Sunday schools shall, by example and
precept, practice and promote temper
ance; when none shall follow the bad
precedent of him who asked: cam I
my brothers keeperq".
And Rev. Rogers again presented
the one adopted in she county, both
were adopted without a dissenting
voice. Both sessions were we'll at
tended by our people, and we feel tina,
our work will make a better showing
next year.

A NICE PUBLIC PARK.
L. A. D.

EDS. GAZETTE:
l see that you are favorably dis
posed toward any enterprise, which
will enhance the pleasure of the peo-
pie or beautify the city and make it
more attractive. So, I come to you
with new plan in which public gath
erings can be held, and there is moth
ing in that line to attract tourists
from surrounding places.
Lying ON the east bank, up little
"Crystal Lake." along the county road
leading through the river bottom, is a
tract ofbeautifully shaded land, which
if it was fenced, . wigwam placed in
it and seated, a windmill, with pipes
reaching tothe lake, fountain could
play, flowers and ornamental shrubs
planted, rustic seats erected under those
rustic maple trees on the bank, a
yacht house built, where sklffs and
miniature yachts could be kept; stock
sheds putover on the east side near
the lake. Then county fair could be
held, and here would be nice place
for public assemblies, pienlcs, Sunday
school reunions, etc. Mr.. Lily is
clearing the land near this, SO if any
steps are taken to secure this delight

GONE UP IN SMOKE.
NOT PHOENIX LIKE, BUT BY THE WORK OF
THE BLAZING ELEMENTS.


THE BLAZING ELEMENTS.
About 1915 M, on Friday the house
occupied by II. e. Harris, situated On
the southeast corner of Washington
and Fourth streets, burned I'd the
ground. The fire started near the
kitchen 1ue in the roof, and as the
building was very dry it was soon COM
pletely taken up in smoke. Every
thing in the upper story of the house
was destroyed, while the contents of
the lower floor were all saved. A
piano was damaged somewhat in being
carried out, but it was insured for $500,
while the furniture was insured for
$500. The building was valued at
about 800 or $500.
The next fire was on Monday
morning about 2:3d o'clock, and in the
northern portion of town on Second
street, near the residence of Ed. r:
Bier. It was in small room 12x14,
owned by the Thomas boys, formerly
residents of Corvallis, and was occu-
pied by man named Zumwalt, bav-
ing bedstead and stove in it at the
time. The fire was evidently the work
of an incendiary, but who the culprit is
no one knows.
At both of these fires the pressure of
water was very slight through the
mains and it is about time the hydrants
were attended to, So in case another
fire should start some thing can be
done besides pointing lO-foot stream
