One of the foreign Catholic divines
who rode on the Congressional limited
from New York city to Baltimore thought
that one of the strangest sights he had
seen in the country was the eating of
dinner ON train going at the rate of
sixty miles an hour. We arc known
abroad as nation of fast caters, remarks
the Washington Star, but foreigners are
not prepared to see us eat ut the remarka-

In the report of the directors of Eng
lish convict prisons is a curious account
of the devices to which prisoners resort
in order to obtain admission to the in

invariably cxaggerate their symptoms to
such an extent that detection of the i'm
posture becomes easy.

An important decision is announced
from the United States supreme court.
It. il to the effect that common car
rier cannot limit its liability being an
act of its own. In the case contested,
the common carrier, steamboat, had
a clause in its bill of lading which ex-
cepted it from certain res constitutes
in the transportation OF their freight.
The defending owners relied On this
bill of lading as contract between
the parties binding on beth. This
view of the case the court refuses 10
take and holds the saving clause void,
and of no effect, since it was acondi-
ton imposed by its own motion by
the common carrier in violation of the
common law of liability. 1t is said
that this decision will be far reaching
in its effects as all railroads as well as
steamboats, are accustomed to put like
clauses in their bills of lading.

THE Lower California gold bubble
has burst and the disgusted and de-
luded miners are seeking civilization as
fast as their means will allow. lust
who started the scheme, or who profit
ed by it, does not clearly appear, but
we presume the outfitters and hand
lers of transportation were the instlga-
tors of the furry. 1t was the most
natural thing IN the world that the
population Of the border lands should
jump at the glittering bait, and 1t IS
wonder that there was not terrible
amount of bloodshed when they found
they had been swindled The search
for gold, however, is something that
never fails to arouse enthusiasm, and
although the last El,lorado has been
proved to be a delusion, it will be a
long time yet before the tide ceases 10

AS THE COUNTY SEAT

And Natural Center of Trade Business, it be-
comes Corvallis to use every effort to promote
the interests of the entire county, as upon the
growth and development of the country depends
the prosperity of the town. A Beard OF Trade,
composed of business men and leading citizens,
is being organized. and the influence OF such
body in advancing the material interests of the
community cannot be otherwise than benehcia'.
Other towns with far less advantages than
Corvallis are rapidly developing into cities and
the entire country surrounding receiving the
benefits of the increased and better markets for
all kinds of produce. We believe Corvalils
and Benton county have wakened from their

THE CROP PROSPECTS.

The prospects for good crops, espe-
ci2ify grain, in California are snd to
be very favorable, Notwithstanding Il
few weeks ago farmers were dishearten-
ell ON account of the scarity OF rain.
But,the Pacific coast states apparently
receive especial favors from the pow
,ers that have charge of the weather
department, and it is extrealely sell
dom that an ov, r-abundance or a SCAR
city of rain causes an entire failure OF
crops. The late rains in that state
came Just in time, and the result will
be a bountiful harvest. In Oregon
the usual large crop will be gathered.
There has been no uneaslne:s on the
part of Oregon farmers regarding this
years crop. 1t would he strang, in
d .ed should failure OCCUR in this
state. But both states will harvest
large crops, both fruit and grain, this
year, and a good market will be found
for them. The price of wheat this
year promises to exceed that of the
several previous years. The shor-
tage in Europe and the failure of the
Australian crops will make the de
ma te on the Pacific coast states very
great. The year 1889 promises to he
a Eery prosperous one for the farmers
on this coast.
