 Then We all gathered round the wom- Cn and found that although good deal bruised by their rough ride and very tired neither had been seriously hurt. The Indians, they told us, had never stopped at all except for a few seconds at a time, when changing them from their tired ponies to frcsher ones. but they had tasted neither food nor drink since leav- ing camp.
 We had with us, as you know. only a little hard bread. but even this tine girls ate eagerly, and as we had plenty of water they felt strong enough after Il few hours rest to start on the return journey. So. you see. we've all got back safe and sound and are richer by some experience, not to count 10 good ponies. than we were yesterday"
 Joe WillIinSon'S a whole team to talk and no mistake" said Frank Austin, but he's forgotten to tell you that wouldn't have got out of that fight quite so easily if he hadn't helped a little. Just as l was bringing my rifle barrel down on the head of that Indian the other one made lunge at me with his knife and would have cut my heart sure if Joe hadn't caught the blade in the tleshv part of his own arm and thus given me time to get hold of tho fellows throat, for l was so laundering mad that for got all about my revolver"

 But how did Miss Douglas get along?'' some one inquired.
 "Oh, thunder" laughed Secord, "she didn't try to get along. All the Indians i ill Arizona couldn't have got her away l from Austin. He just carried her like a | baby till we got within five miles of ! camp. But she didn't go to sleep-not that know off

LOVES DESPAIR.

Why should waste my life in heaving sighs For her whose love know can Ser be mine9 What, though her eyes with sweetest glances
 shine, And in her face tho rarest beauty lies, Let some one elso her loveliness now prize, For I shall sadly sigh for her no more. Although my heart with longing bangs Is
 sore,
 And rcnt with loves sweet lingering memories, I'll try to drive her from my fancy's eye, And in tho future I'll forget the past Our joys and sorrows cannot always last, But like all things of earth must surely die; And so I'll sadly sit and sigh no morc, But laugh through life. brsath which soon

that it was quite dark A regiment of soldiers could easily hide there and not one of them bo seen 10 feet off. Carson didn't put us directly in front of the trail, but in such positions along the outer edge of the scrub that we could deliver half flanking fire.
 Wed been hiding about 15 minutes, not long enough to get nervous, when the Indians, just 10 of them, came in sight at the far end of the open space. They were coming along on Il slow can ter, riding in single file, and we saw that the first two warriors-one of them was the chief, Lone Wolf, Kit told us after ward-were carrying the young women in front of them.
 This sight drove us most crazy, and it was mighty hard to keep still, but We all knew that we must make sure work of it. and we didn't stir finger-not just then.
 On and on came the reds to within 80 yards of the blind path leading into the grove Then they slackened down to a walk. We'd already covered the lead ing five with our rifles, and when they'd got 10 yards closer We heard Kits whistle. soft and low as a blackbird's note. That was the last sound those five Indians ever heard in this world, for they had not time even to start with the surprise of it when our rifles cracked like one piece. and they all fell, stone dead.
 Then like raging tigers We dashed out of cover and charged on the others. But quick as we were, they'd already thrown themselves from their ponies ,.,-,N,,,l,aI lN,lIrl the act of stringing their bows. As We ran forward wo poured in one volley from our revolvers, but all missed, and before we could close every man of us received slight arrow wound. Steady, men, steady! shouted Carson as the reds dropped their bows and slunk closer be hind their ponies with knives and toma- hawks in hand.
 Tho fight might have been finished in half minute if Secord and Austin, both foaming mad, had not rushed off to the head of the line to pick up the women. On seeing this the five braves ran along the far side of the string of ponies, which had never stirred from their tracks when their riders fell. and made for our two men, hoping to finish them before we came up
 The total distance was not more than 60 feet, but the ponies rather bothered us. and though We instantly broke through the line the savages were close upon Tom and Frank before Kit. ahead Gs usual. brought down two of them. Our fellows were so busy assisting the half insensible girls that only Carson's last two shots aroused them to a sense of their own danger, and they spranG to their feet barely in time to ward off the tomahawks of the three remaining Indi- ans, We meantime not daring to fire again for fear of hitting them or the women
 They didn't need much help, how ever. One of the bucks had attacked ScCord, and the other two pitched into Frank. but none of them had time to strike a second blow before Tom settled his man by a single shot, and Austin, roaring like lion and seemingly too mad to shoot, crushed the skull of one Indian by blow from his rifle barrel, and seizinS the other by the throat was savagely choking the life out of him when Wells stepped up and put d bullet through his brain.

ATTENTION, FRUIT GROWERS.

At the solicitation of many persons inter-
ested i'll the subject, the Portland Industrial
exposition has undertaken to gather fruit to
be used in showing the pomological produce
of Oregon, at the midwinter fair in San
Francisco. This fruit will be gathered and
placed on display at the exposition in Port
land and will be combined with. what may
be gathered from other sources for the mid.
winter fair. Although every orchardist
should exert himself to see that the inter
ests of the fruit industry is properly repre-.
sented at all times, as should every person
desirous of promoting the welfare of the
state, the exposition has decided to encour-
age and stimulate growers to send their best
products by offering the following prizes:
For the largest five pears, $500; for the
largest five apples, $500; for the greatest
variety of pears, $500; for the best ten
varieties of apples, $500; for the largest
bunch of grapes, $500; for the greatest
variety of grapes, $500. All fruit should
be carefully labeled with the name and ad-
dress of the sender and IN placing it on
exhibition both at, Portland and San Fran :
cisco, it will be identified in this way, so
that due credit will be received by the pro-
ducers Fruit should be carefully packed
and shipped by express to the Portland
Industrial Exposition, Portland, Oregon.
There will be no express charges for the
shipper to pay. Entries for prizes will not
be received later than October 7th, but
choice fruit for exhibit will be taken at any
time prior to October goth. Orchardists
are urged to give this matter the attention
it deserves.

A COSY COTTAGE.

Mrs. M. M. Armstrong is having built
upon her lot ON Third street very fine cot.
tage, which is of unique design, and when
completed will be the model cottage of the
city. The carpenter work is that of Mr.. c.
E. Erickson, finished workman whose
home has been in Corvalll. little more than
year, and who built the stairways and did
the better part of the finishing on Hotel
Corvallis. For the past twenty-five years
he has followed the business of contractor
and builder in Chicago and the cities of the
east, having had a continuous residence in
the city of Hutchinson, Mimi, of fourteen
years, where many fine structures remain as
monuments to his skill. Mr. Erickson
took thorough course of instruction in a
school of architecture in St. Paul, and
comes with excellent recommendations to
Corvallis, where he intends to make his
home. From specimens of work and the
knowledge Of what he can do, THE GAZETTE
does not hesitate to recommend Mr.. Erick.
son to anyone who may desire the services
of a first class workman. This cottage is

story ''L" and an imposing veranda which
will be particularly attractive. Mrs. Arm
strong is certainly fortunate IN securing the
services of such an excellent workman

GOLD FOR THE GODS.

As announced in THE GAZETTE last
week, Mr.. L. L. Horning and son "Arch'
have returned from their jaunt among the
gold hills of Southern Oregon, only to
make more thorough prepaiations to
spend the winter among the shining mug
gets with which that country abounds.
They are very enthusiastic over their
prospects and declare they have found
the Mecca of financial hope. The senior
Mr.. Horning is one of the pioneer min
ers and prospectors. of the coast and
was member of the Grimes party which
discovered and located the first claim in
the celebrated Idaho basin. He also
located the first claim on the famous
Granite creek. Quite large number of
our people have signiied their willing
ness to share with Mr.. Horning's lot !;
but he informs the writer that he will
select his party and return prepared to
encounter the labor necessary to accom-
plish his ends, and that none but energetic
rustlers will accompany him. However,
it is his opinion that there is plenty there
for all, and he advises the young, able
bodied men of Corvallis who are out of
employment to get move on themselves
and dig their dollars from the dirt.

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

The city schools commenced last Mon
day with a competent corps of teachers
and Superintendent S. I. Pratt in charge.
The attendance on Tuesday evening was
275, which is equal to the expectations of
those in control, it being understood that
the enrolment will rapidly increase for
some time. The total enrolment the
past year was 57I. We are informed that
all the work is starting out smoothly and
that the teachers and pupils are conform
ing readily to the new eight-grade plan
adopted by the board. The exclusion of
students under six years of age is meet
ing with'rgeneral approva1. from. all inter
ested in school work. The indications
are that the scholastic year of 1884 will
be prosperous one for the public schools
of Corvallis.

STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The meeting of the state Horticultural
society will be held in Corvallis on the
24th and 25th of October. The original
date of this meeting was fixed on the
10th and nth prox., but owing to the
lateness of the harvest season and to ac-
commodate leading horticu1turists of the
state, postponement was had to the
above dates. 1t is the desire of those in
charge of the college, and should be
that of all our citizens, to make this the
best meeting the society has ever held.
and to that end the horticultural depart
ment of the college Zone of the new
rooms) will be specially prepared for the
sessions of the society.
In due time meeting of the citizens
will be called to make suitable arrange
ments for the entertainment of our visit
tors, and one and all should spare no eff
fort in the direction of courteous hospi-
tality to our distinguished guests.
Every citizen of Corvallis and vicinity
who is in the slightest degree interested
in horticulture and agriculture are most
earnestly invited to be present and assist
in the promotion of this movement-cal-
culated to benefit alike all who are en-
gagged in the-Iabove pursuits.
This event, if our people take advan-
tage of the opportunity thus presented,
will rebound to the benefit of Corvallis
and this portion of the valley and THE
GAzETrE feels warranted in saying that
all who come will we'll and truthfully
say ''It was. good to have been there"

CHARLATANS AND QUACKs.

THE GAZETTE is prompted, through tn,
events of the past, to call attention of he
readers to the Improbable practice of thu
people generally in patronizing pretended
representatives of the medical profession
who wander here and there advertising
their virtuous abilities by highly colored
posters and manufactured testimonials, to
gether with other clap trap devices for en-
trapping the unwary victim into his
clutches. The average citizen is quite sus.
ceptible of being fascinated with his cheap
sort of charlatanism and falls ready VIC
tim to the usually ''docsol" ;"
who for a day or two hangs up his ''shingle''
an stops by the wayside. There are sIe-
cialists of merit; but they are rarely found
among the itinerant class whose practice is
are to be found regularly established ply
sicians of the different schools-graduates
of colleges of high standing-whose sue
cesses are identical with those of the COM
in which they have located. Such
is the case in Corvallis. We have here a
number of thorough physicians, old and
young, whose homes are here, whose inter-
ests are ours and our interests theirs, and
who are quite competent to successfully
treat any and all complaints to which the
human family are heir. By patronizing
your home physicians your money is kept
at home and invested in local enterprise
all local holdings are advanced in
value. In other words, sort of republican
is the result and the people are
given a practical lesson in the theory of re.
publican protection. Patronize home In.
dustries.

A PLAN OF MERIT.

Upon the recommendation of President
B1oss, who has had the subject under con-
sideration for some time past, the faculty
of the state agricultural college have
decided to deviate. from former plans of
educational work and give four-weeks'
course of instruction in a special line of
study during the month of January, to
which all persons, ladies or gentlemen,
will be admitted free of tuition. This
includes anybody and everybody inter-
ested in Horticulture, horticulture and
agriculture, and those who take advan-
tage of this arrangement will be entitled
to all the privileges of the college that
regular matriculants have-even to board
and room at established rates. The spe-
cia1 course will consist of lectures on hor-
ticulture, agriculture, drainage, chemistry
of the soil, entomology, botany, etc, and
it will be the aim of the professors of the
Oregon agricultural college to advance
the education of all who may attend by
practical demonstrations in the sciences

Circulars now being prepared will be

on the agricultural features of the fair, such
as fine cows, fruit. etc. There will be great

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

On Tuesday evening THE GAzErrE had
the pleasure of entertaining for short
half hour party of distinguished visitors
who compose the board of railroad COM
missioners of the state of Oregon, as fol-
lows: Messrs. B. L. Eddy, H. B. Compson.
I. A. McCrum and clerk of the board, Mr..
Lydell Baker. Accompanying them were
Mr.. Fields, general superintendent of the
Southern Pacific railway system, Mr..
Wallahan, of the Railway Age, and Mr..
Murphy, the well-known democratic
manager of the state who has secured the
plum of U. S. district attorney for Oregon.
These gentlemen are on tour of inspec-
ton of the various railway systems of the
state and went from here to Whites Sta
ton, whence they will travel over the
Oregonian line to Air1ie, thence to Port
land. Next week they will inspect the
Oregon Pacific system and again visit
Corvallis Wednesday. They are jolly
lot of fellows when off duty and the editor
was feasted upon sallies of wit and humor
from the press representatives, Messrs
Eddy and Wallahan, given pointers in
military etiquette by rigadier-General
Compson, offered free ride On the S. P.
by Mr.. Fields, and cited to the law on the
whole subject by Mr.. Murphy. After
indulging in the good things (l) usually
stored away by the average Oregon coun-
try newspaper editor until our supply was
exhausted they took their departure with
the pronounced determination of attend
ing the revival services now in progress
at the Christian church, but whether that
was their destination we are uninformed.
Come again, gentlemen.
