EXCURSION FROM SAN FRANCISCO,

The Oregon Pacific tiailroad Company
have arranged to run a wholesale merchants
excursion from San Francisco to this valley
the last of the month. About fifty of the
wholesale dealers of the Golden Gate city
will take passage on Craftsmanship " William.
cite Valley" on July 9th, and arrive at
Newport and Yaquina on the Both, where
they will remain that day. They will arrive
in Corvallis on the morning of the 3lst, and
spend the day and probably the night in
this city. The Business Mems Association
of Corvallis will have charge of the entertain.
ment of the visitors, and it is the intention
to give them suitable reception. The ex.
cursionists will visit Albany, Salem, Eugene
and perhaps other cities of the valley. When
they arrive and see for themselves the
wealth of resources enjoyed by this valley,
they must be impressed with the desirability
of our trade and will spare no inducement
to obtain it, AS result of their visit,
therefore, we may expect tangible benefits
to all classes

Not succeeding in his endeavors and being

time to reconsider his determination and de.
cided to return to Corvallis. Accordingly
he started ont on foot Saturday morning,
arriving in Corvallis Tuesday afternoon. He
claims to have walked the entire distance,
but it seems incredible that he could do SO

CELEBRATION AT THE ALSEA.

1t may be true that when St. Patrick
killed all tho snakes in ''Owld Ireland" I"
that he did not overlook Alsea valley, tor
there is not venonlous serpent to be fodnd,-
but instead there are fish, game, delightful
scenery, and as pure air as ever the God of
nature breathed upon d people. Your Cor.
respondent with his family boarded prairie
schooner at Corvallis last Monday afternoon
and within four hours was camped OH one
of the prongs of the great ''Y" that makes
the Alsea valley. The next morning the
firing OF anvils proclaimed to the MASSES
that the Fourth was on hand, ready for
business. At ten o'clock six hundred peo
pie were assembled III the beautiful grove
near the post Office store. After prayer and
reading the declaration Of Independence,
Rev. Mr. Matlock, of the Cumberland Pres.
byterian church of Corvallis, delivered an
eloquent grafton. The people, who are good
livers, served then a free lunch fur every.
body. Chairman Howell ANNOUNCED that
prizes had been offered for the best cooking
to be exhibited on this occasion, and J. B.
Horner, Jasper Hayden, M. Goodwin, Da-
vid Shipley and Amos Kisor were epicureans
to
Decide by the eating, not by the looks
Which OF the ladies they thought the best cooks
Squire Vidito said it was the proper thing
to 90 outside of the valley to get Judges Oh
cooking, bu. if it were judges on something
to drink that they were after, he believed
they could do fully as we'll at home, and
would not mind to serve on such committee
himself. The work of the committee was SO
thorough that it was at times almose pain
full to see them linger ON favorite piece of
pie, cake, Or chicken; but like Peter Stuyl
vessant in the "Dutch Nickerbockers, :"
they always came to a conclusion. The
president of the day then amour iced that
the prizes were to be awared as follows:
Miss Bessie Wartield. a picture frame
tor best biscuits, Mrs. Rachel Rycraft,
quilting frames for best cooked chicken;
Miss Josie Spencer, flower knife and hoe
for second best cooked chicken; Mrs Ra.
che] Rycraft, clock shelf for best pie; Miss
Bessie Warfeld. ironing board for second
best pie; Miss Mollie Clark, esquitoir for
best cake. Special mention should be make
of the design and execution of the presents
which were all manufactured of native
woods in the valley by Messrs. David
Tom, A. ]. Ruble, NJ. NJ Ruble and H. l..
Martin. After very interesting program
of recitatons and music the exercises of
the day closed with the falling of the band
stand, band, music, Fourth of July and ALL
