SURVEYORS AT WORK.

The GAZETTE has been persistent in
it's efforts to attract the attention of the
government to the threatened change
in the channel of the river short dis
tance above this city, and to the i'm
portance OF taking such steps as would
prevent the same. To this end the
government performed a small amount
of work which the high water proved
inadequate. The GAZETTE and other
local papers in conjunction 'with the
board of trade again presented the mat
ter forcibly to the congressional dele.
CATION, who, in turn, succeeded in
having included in the river and harbol
bill an appropriation of $1,000 for a
survey Of the river for the purpose oi
determining the best method of max
ing the required improvement.
A party of government surveyors
under direction Of J. M. Clapp, arrived
in Corvallis Saturday and began a, thor
ough survey ofthe river between a
point five miles above this city and a
mile below where the overflow empties
into the main channel. The party will
be at this point about month or six
weeks, but it is not probable that we
shall be able to learn anything con-
oerning the result of their labors be-
fore their report and recommendations
reach congress.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Last Saturday as Mr.. and Mrs. u.
Boehringer, an aged couple, were drlv-
ing from this city to their home at Oak
Ridge. a few miles southwest of here,
a serious accident occurred to them by
the criminal carelessness of Oliver Eel
ger who was also driving hOmeward
from this city It would appear from
reports that Mr.. Boehringer was deslr-
Gus of fastening on his way but was
not permitted to do SO by Felger, who
was in the lead and who would inter
cept the former whenever he attempted
to drive bv. Af5er harassing'and an
noying the aged couple for some dis
tance Felger allowed them to pass, bu
presently urged his team to
high rate of speed and dashed against
their vehicle, overturning it and pass
ing over its occupants. Frank DAVIS,
who was short distance in advance Of
the others, returned to the scene of thu
accident and with the assistance of Mr..
Kyes, near whose place it occurred,
drew the unfortunate victims from the
wreck, Mrs. Boehringer being insensl-
BILE and having sustained severe cuts
and bruises. A number of NJ. Boehr
inger's ribs were broken and he received
other painful injuries. The injured
people were conveyed to Philomath
where they received the attendance Of
physicians. On Tuesday a complaint
was made in Justice Turney's court
charging Felger with assault upon the
person of Boehringer with intent to kill.
Defendant waved examination and was
placed under bonds of $1,000 to appear
at the next session Of the grand jury.
The injuries of Mrs. Boehringer are of
more serious nature than those of her
husband, and upon the result of them
will depend the nature Of second
charge which, it is stated, will be
brought against Felger.
1t is not probable that the. serious
result of his action was contemplated
by Felger, but the indulgence Of any
degree of meanness is liable to lead to
disaster for which one must be held to
account by the law.

PILE DRIvING.-Cain, Mccullough

PILE DRIVING. Cain, Mccullough
& Co., of this city, recently completed
thoroughly equipped pile driver, a
machine foe which there has long been
a demand here and at other points on
the river. The owners have secured a
contract from the Benton County
FIGURING Mills Co. to drive $50 feet
of piling in front of their mill in this
city. The piling is 45 feet long and is
to be driven ten feet into the earth,
faced with heavy boards and planked
over, thus giving additional space
about the mill. J. A. Cauthorn has
also engaged this machine to drive 300
feet of piling along the front of his
warehouse property, and there will be
considerable other work of the same
nature performed along the city's water
front. These improvements became
necessary on account Of the incursions
of the high waters, the current being
strong on the west side of the river at
this point.

THE FooT RACE.-The 50-yard
foot race which took place near this
city on last Sunday, between Braith-
wait, of Independence, and Wiley
Young, of Corvallis, resulted in vic
tory for the latter A large crowd from
Independence was present, and our
neighbors were prepared to back their
favorite in large amount. Wiley Was
backed pretty heavily by those who
were acquainted with his abilities, but
it must be said that the Corvallis boys
could not summon the nerve to cover
all that was offered on the big man
from Polk. The result was that, al
though their man was beaten the Inde-
pendence delegation went home with
plenty of money.

A TURKEY HUNT.

Some of the former residents Of the
middle western states were reminded,
on Tuesday, of their youthful sport of
turkey hunting. John Hoffman had
purchased SO turkeys to be disposed of
at his shooting gallery Oh Thanksgiv-
ing. He placed them in Jake Blum
berg's chicken coop, fastened the door
and went away, not observing that a
door at an Opposite side of the coop
lad been left open. Presently the
streets were swarm,ng with turkeys.
The suddeness of their appearance and
the amount of cackle and gosble which
was extant, gave many of our people
the belief that the good Lord had
miraculously sent turkey to every
man, woman and. child in the city as
an evidence of His appreciation o
their good works the past year. But
they were not long to enjoy this agree
able delusion TOR within short time
Hoffman discovered the true situation
He at once began II "round-up" but the
turkeys, stampeded and took to the
housetops and trees. Then our FRIEND
decided to bring them in ''dead Oh
alive" and accordingly passed out the
deadly instruments of his shooting gal
lery to number of "crack Shots" anC
the squad sailed forth in command O
Marshal Dunn, to make war upon tht
frightened game. During the few
minutes following there was rare ane
exciting sport, and the turkeys ralnee
down thick and fast. But during thi
time strategic idea crossed the in.
tellectual vision of Mr.. H. He callet
in the sharp-shooters, having decided
that he would make succe ssful Captur
by the aid of the fire department lad
ders when the nightfall had laid it
mantle upon the unsuspecting birds.
Of the 36 turkeys, Mr.. Hoffman
captured, dead and alive, 80.

RAILWAY CoMMoTIoN.-The late
Wall street disturbances have upset the
railroad world, especially that portion
of it on this coast. Gigantic changes
have come about and outside few
such men as Gould no railroad man
knows just how he stands financially.
Almost every road in Oregon and
Washington is affected. Changes in
ownership and mana cement are con
stantly going on, and it cannot now be
told how projected lines and those un-
der construction will be, influenced.
The great Oregon improvement Co.,
Which owns railroads, townsites, ships,
coal fields, etc., in Oregon and Wash
ington, has gone under. The S. P.
has acquired the Huntington narrow
gauge roads, tie Northern and Union
have decided to work in harmony, and
it may he a long time before close
reader will be able to obtain knowl-
edge of the railroad situation. Those
who have shaped their business on the
basis of prospective railway operations
are likely now to be disappointed.
IMBIBED TOO FREELY.-Joseph Las
key and son, who are laborers residing
near this city, came to town Tuesday,
and put up at the Occidental hotel.
En- the evening the father got on a
good-sized drunk-so large in fact,
that he lost his ordinary mental reser-
vation, and became hilarious. In his
wild and frantic State of intoxication,
he tried to kill some of the crowd,
at the hotel, among whom Was his son,
and it was not without immoderate
difficulty that the marshal finally sub
dued him and lodged Laskey in the
city Jail. After being taken to Jail,
Laskey, still being beastly drunk, at
tempt self-desSruction, and ran his
head with great force against the wall
of the building, causing serious lnjur-
les on his head. Wednesday morning
he was taken before the city recorder,
where he plead guilty to the charge OF
dlsorderly conduct. Laskey Is we'll
meaning man, of industrious habits,
but he occasionally gets on big drunk,
and then something is going to "pop.

additional for their buttons the new law
makes the future sunshiny for the

turers IN. this city, who make more
pearl buttons than are manufactured in
any otter city IN the United States.
Edward K. Parsii, who is the largest
manufacturer in the city. ana with his
present accommodations and equipment
can employ from forty TO fifty men, is
making an effort to capitalize his bust
ness at $50, COZ. He has during the past
week or two seen in consultation with a
number Of prominent men with a view of
inducing them 70 take stock in the pro-
posed company.
FAVORABLE 10 THE PROJECT.
Among the men who have been ap-
preached by Mr.. Parsil with request to
invest and who are favorable to the pro-
ject are George A. Halsey, Congressman
Herman Lehlbach and j. Frank Fort,
The papers have not been signed yet, but
q reporter was informed by some OF the
men who have Interested themselves in
the matter that the three men above
named Will in all probability invest
money in the enterprise.
The pearl button business has been on
the decline for the past twelve years
Foreign manufacturers found that there
was money in the business and they soon
began competing with the American
manufacturers in their own markets.
The pearl button industry continued 10
grow ia Europe until the industry in this
country IS Insignificant III comparison.
A manufacturer said this morning that
in Austria twelve years ago there were
not over two hundred pearl button
makers and that now there are more than
four thousand.
There are about 100 pearl button
makers working at the trade in this city,
and there are more here than any other
part OF The country.
FACTORIES ELSEWHERE.
There are factories IN New York,
Springfield, Mass; Vineland, N. j.; Phil.
adekphfa, and small shops in other places
employing. 1t is estimated, an aggregate
OF from ], 800 to 2, 900 men.
Under the old law there was tariff of
rs per cent. ad yalorum on pearl buttons.
and the new law adds to that "a cents
per gross for each line in measurement.
This doesn't seem TO be much until one
begins to figure it up. A ''Hne'' is one
fortieth part of an inch, SO pearl button
ouc-qu6rter of an inch across is said 10 be
ten-line button, and the tariff, besides
the rs per cent. of the valuation, amounts
to rs cents gross on that size, the total
