Pa Had a Gun.

San Francisco papers report roman
tic escapade of Oliver N. Williams,
formerly of Corvallis, and better known
in sporting circles. It seems he arrived
at small California town with-a young
woman, where he registered at hotel as
man aud wife. He obtained employ
ment at the house as waiter. In few
days an older gentlemen came into the
burg with shot gun and took his station
in front of the hotel. He claimed to be
a mine owner from southern Oregon and
the father of the girl, who he said, was
not married TO Williams. The hotel
man persuaded him to yield up his gun
and the father aud the lover met, when
the latter promised to marry the girl.
But when he found chance he skipped
to another town, where the old gentle
men, with his gun, quickly followed.
After stern chase Williams was agaiu
cornered, and finally accompanied the
father back to where the girl was staying,
where the marriage took place. The
father is said to be quite wealthy, aud
willing to provide for the young couple.
Williams mother resides in Corvallis.

Some California Mines.

Mr.. H. H. Kreger, now in business at
Randsburg, Cal, sends the GAsErrE an
interesting description of the mines in
the Great Mojave desert. Lack of space
makes it impossible to publish the letter
in full. Randsburg is located in the
foothills in the eastern part of Kern
county, in the center of the Rand dis
trict, about 200 miles from Los Angeles.
Stage companies run from two to four
coaches daily from the latter city and
are COED. The hastily built shanties and
tents are rapidly being replaced by more
substantial buildings.
The first mines discovered were the
Rand, Olympus, Trilby and Yellow Aster,
now called the the ''Rand group and
are situated one-half mile west of town.
There are number of other mines at the
edge of town or within a short distance
The King So.omon is producing good
milling ore at depth of 60 feet, while
the Val Verdi is down over 100 feet and
produces milling ore paying from $50 to
$50 per ton, with parallel lead ten feet
wide which pays over $50 per ton. The
Wcdffe, J. 1. c., Excelsior, Butte and
Kenyon have very good ore and expert
enced mining men believe much richer
ore will be found at depth of several
hundred feet.
The St. Elmo is capitalized at $2, $780,
ooo. A ten-stamp mill and cyanide
Stamp will be placed on this property.
At present there is sufficient labor in
the district, but there is room and plenty
Of it for capital. Then there are men
who held claims, without, means, who
will sell or give part of their holdings
for Improvements. Everything within
reach has been staked off. There is no
question in my mind as to the future
prosperity of the Rand mining district.
Mr.. Kreger closes with some good ad-
vice: Now word to my old friends
and neighbors. Don't come here with
the idea that You can get $500 day for
eight hours work, locate mine or pick
up chunks of gold. You may do one
or all, but there are big chances that you
will do uoue.'

Corvallis Papas.

The council meeting last Moud "
evening was not very dull af
fair. The forces led by Councilmeu
Sarnueis encountered the troops of Coun-
cilm,,u lee in several fierce charges, anl
although nutuumbered, the guns OF til ::
former were never silenced. The first
and chief bole of contention was the
ferry boat built by the street committe e
to bring gravel from the Osburn bar.
Samuels claimed the boat was useless and
the committee had simply wasted money
in building it. Lee, Ct the street conf
mittee, remarked that it was easier to
criticize than to do, and that the boat
was an absolute necessity and ilieai.t
real economy. The committee bills were
allowed, ayes 7, nays 2.
Landlord Schmidt, of the Occident.
hotel, was granted permission to tear up
the old street car track, except the part
of line between the Hotel Corvallis and
the depots, which he agrees to keep in
good condition. One-half of the taxes
were remitted and other favors shown.
The police judge reported tkat Joe
Bryant had been fined for cruelty to AM
mails, and that the ordinances provide
that in such cases one-half the fine went
to the informer. AS in this instance the
inforner was Nightwatchman Skipton,
there was some doubt as to the division
of the fne 1t was decid, d that Mr..
Skipton was entitled to q share.
Night officer Will Skipton rendered his
resignation and the vote for his successor
stood, ]. L. Skipton, S w. l.. Moore 3,A'

said he was disappointed, but knew

:. The mayor read his message, which
was brief, but full of practical and sensi-
BILE suggestions, aad it received the close
that the city debt had been very mater
tally reduced during the past year. until
it is now but little over SIC, 900 was es-
pecially mentioned, and the mayor com.
plimented highly the retiring council.
The chief of police read his monthly
report.
Counciln,en Lee explained the future
policy of the street committee, which
was criticised by Samuels. Councilman
Rose was elected president of the coun-
Gil. The council discussed many mattefs
pertaining to the city, and the meeting
was prolonged one. Many bills were
allowed and some referred.

Commencement at Philomath.

The commencement exercises at
Phllomath College, were held at
the camp grounds west of Philo-
math Wednesday, June 30. The
graduating class being small, con-
sisting of Miss Ethel Bradford
(normal) and Miss Grace Boles
(scientific), the public rhetorical
class of the college assisted with
the exercises and the program
throughout was we'll received and
reflected credit upon both teachers
and pupils.
The exercises began with a pi
ano solo by Miss Gertie Sheak
and a song by the male quartette.
Miss Ethel Bradford followed with
an oration, What is i,s" Show
ing that christianity had success
fully passed through six crises and
gave the reason Tor each success
i've triumph.
o. V. White took for his SUBJ
ject, '.Images of Stone" He
sp Ike Of the progress of philos-
ophy, claiming that our lives were
the images to be mode led with the
chisel and that adversity gave
them their polish.
Miss Gertrude SIn ak did ample
justice to her subj ct, s'Beauties of
Nature," and her theme was in
close accord with The enchanting
surroundings.
Miss Jessie Buoy in her oration
on The Painted Stone,'' drew
some very practical lessons for
every day life, showing the i'm
p0rtance of cOnientment.
A duet was rend red by Mis- es
Sneak aud Boles, and George Nc
Donald delivered an Grafton on
"Money and the Kingdom," his
central idea being the importance

The class motto s.Vehrimus in
Allun''-we are borne out on the

thoughts OF Miss Grace Boles, as

rendition are both worthy of spe-
ciaI mention.

sented the diplomas and the exer-

bany.
In justice to the college and its
present management, would like
to correct the impression given by
the Tines article of June 10.
Pref. j. N. G. Miller has been Sc
iec,etf principal OF the school.
Prof. Sneak has been retained and
arrangements perfected whereby
efficient instructors will be employ
ed for the other departments. The
instructors have not agreed to
teach for the tuition receipts, as
the college has other sources of
revenue. The statement regard
ing the financial condition of the
coilegc was also an error. The
schools prospects were never
brighter than they are 10 day.
Numerous improvements are con
templated ami those interested are
looking forward with brighter
hopes for the future.

We know of but one community in the
world where dyspepsia is practically un-
known, and that is the Shakers of Mount
Lebanon, N. Y. These good people have
been studying the subject Of digestion for
more than hundred years, and that they
understand it pretty thoroughly, is evil
denced in the foregoing fact. Their di-
gestive cordial is the safest and best
remedy in cases of indigestion that we
know of. A trial bottle can be had
through your druggists for the trifling
sum o: 10 cents. The shaker digestive
cordial supplies the system with food
already disested, and at the same time
aids the digestion Of other foods. 1t will
almost instantly relieve the ordinary
symptoms of indigestion, and no sufferer
need to be told what these are.
Laxol is the best medicine for child

The Oregonian says: Corvallis to is
have another paper, and it needs it. AS
pruveyors of news the Times and
GAZETTE are unsurpassed among country
weeklies. but their courses i'll politics are
very uncomplimentary to the intelligence
and character of the community, The
same community helps support the Ore
gonian, and although the people consider
it, politically, niercenary, factional, un-
fair and unscrupulous, they do not deem
their subscribing for it, reflection upon
themselves. And it is no reflection.
The Oregoaian is good newspaper,
clean and unsensational. Editorially, it
is one of the strongest in point of abil-
ity, in:the country. The GAZETTE has no
apologies 10 make for its political course.
Il is a straight republican paper, always
has been and expects to remain SO.
Many of its readers disagree with it, pol
itically, but they know always where it
stands. II is safe to say that Benton coun-

couragenent to temporary factional

Coyington is now filled 10 its
full capacity with people priuci-
pally from New Orleans. Many
are strangers, who have never had
occasion to come here before.
Many among them are prominent
people. AL seem to be charmed,
and if the health remains good, the
result will bc that many Of them
will become investors. Our town
will be better recognized As .
health resort than ever.
In the face of these facts, inn
provements should be the order of
the day. Our city fathers, and
the prominent citizens, should CO.
operate in establishing an efficient
system Of Waterworks through the
principal streets of the town. The
most practical plan would be to
have a reservoir tank of . few
thousand gallons capacity, elevated
to height SO as to insure sufficient
pressure to force water on the roof
the tallest buildings. The best
location would be at or near the
Ice Factory, where steam could be
had at all times for pumping water
into the tank, apd the employees
could attend to 1t ~ we'll.
A fire company could then be
organized. Ladders and hose
could be kept convenient, 80 they
could be brought out in a moments
notice The main pipe could be
tapped wherever it would be
necessary, to furnish all business
and private houses with water in
case Of fire, and also to keep the
streets, the yards and even the
gardens in the best possible con-
dition.
One Of the greatest benefits
would be derived IN allaying the
clouds Of dust, that are a menace
to health and comfort.
