In a letter received from Henry
Allen the first of the week, the
writer says that the Coi vallis con

aged a loss of fifteen pounds apiece
in flesh, due to hot weather. The
heat is less intense now and all are
in g Kd health. Henry was pro
moted soon after beginning work in
the census department and the re
port that John Pipes was the first
Oregon boy to receive this recogni
tion is an error, 'lhe temporary
clerks engaged in the census work
will be discharged in December,
but those from Corvallis will be
employed for two years.

Editor Gazette :-The tide
is iu, the crowds are jolly and ali
goes well. Tins is the four
teenth season we have spent,
more or less, at this popular
summer resort, and never before
have we seen larger numbers
and more signs of improvement
and progress than at present.
Many uew and costly cottages
have recently been built and
and several others are in course
of construction, while still more
are under contract to be built
this fall and winter. The future
of Nye Creek is assured and
whatever the government may
or may not do for Yaquina bay-
here at this point there will be
one of the most popular summer
resorts on this northwest coast.
Too much credit cannot be given
to Mr. S. G. Irviu, the inde
fatigable and tireless promoter
of every interest connected with
Newport and Nye creek. He
has overcome the greatest obsta
cles, and conquered the most
difficult opposition till today lie
sees with no little satisfaction
the near fulfillment of his high
est hopes.
It is probable that at Yaquina
or Newport there will never be
any considerable commercial
city, but at the same time it is
assured that here at Nye Creek
or Nye Beach, there will be a
city of summer residences with
a population of no small dimen
sions. It is speaking within
bounds when we estimate that
this season there are living here
in cottages and camps at least
one thousand people. Rudely
counted, we should think that
there were about 200 men, 400
skies, a more beautiful and sub
lime ocean and a more delightful
day than this. It is grand be

the dogs and donkevs for of
such is Nye Creek.
Give this place the facilities
of transportation and accommo
dations of postal service which
it deserves and demands and it
will soon surpass any ocean beach
iu Oregon or Washington. The
climate is perfectly delightful
and healthful beyond question:
the scenery is always charming
and attractive and the beach
offers treasures of richest agates
and pearly pebbles. To those
who desire to bathe in the white
crested waves of the briny deep,
there is no beach on the coast so
alluring and so safe as Nye
beach. Nearly 200 can be seen
daily enjoying this delightful
treat.
It is somewhat amusing to
watch the bathers going in and
coming out. Such a variety of
mankind, and womankind, too
large and small, short and tall,
white and black, red and yellow,
pink and blue. Some have a
greenish hue, both in color and
manner, but after awhile this
changes to a deep brown or red.
The two chief events of the
day are bathing and fhe "boat
coming." When the boat ar
rives hundreds are gathered,
waiting to see who comes. The
fact is, the woods and cottages
are full of people, while there
are but few at the hotels. Cor
vallis is pretty well represented.

their love of country is stronger

It is certain that a call would
bring out a larger number of
volunteers now than for the
Spanish war. The official re
port shows that Oregon furnished
for the Spanish war 723 enlisted
men, 50 officers, who secured
commissions for volunteer ser
vice, and five non-commissioned
officers and privates who secured
commissions through promotions.
Three times that number ap
plied for enlistment, but were
rejected because of failure to
pass the physical examination.

companies volunteered their services.

actions at that time showed that he
was in terror of his fellow prisoner.
He wrote several notes to his jail

some way learned of this. He has
imposed upon Pryor ever since and
has been aching for trouble.
Wednesday evening he kept sparr

long as possible, and finally told
Kuebli that he had had enough and

James H. Stewart, an Oregon
pioneer and resident of Corvalbs
since 1851, died at his home in the
southern portion of this citv last
Monday night at 10:30 o'clock.
The immediate cause of death was
a paralytic stroke sustained on
Wednesday of last week. Mr.
Stewart had suffered a number of
attacks -of ' this nature in recent
years, and the shock of the stroke
last week was too severe to survive.
James H. Stewart was born in
Fountain county, Indiana, June 19,
1825. Here he resided until 19
years of age, when he moved with
his parents to Polk county, Mis
souri, and followed farming until
1851. September 28, 1851, he ar
rived in Oregon, having crossed
the plains with his mother, wife
and two children. A few months
later he settled on the donation
land claim two miles north of Cor
vallis, where he resided until his
removal to this city a few weeks
ago.
The surviving members of the
family are, the widow, now 78 years
of age, Mrs. Henrietta Randall, who
resides at the Stewart home, Mrs.
Mehala Stewart, Corvallis; Jehiel
Stewart, Salem; Mrs. Melissa Mc
Mahon, Lafe Stewart, Corvallis.

the family residence at 10 o'clock

The Bryson-Johnson camping
party, which departed Sunday
for Alsea' s famous mountains,
have had an experience. By
the exercise of bad judgment
the campers, with their lighter
vehicle, drove gaily away from
their commissary department
and in due season reached
thear place of destination. Here
they awaited the appearance of
their wagon load of provisions,
bedding and general camping
outfit. It did not appear, and
the party did not go supperless
to. bed, but sat in silence around
a cheerless . fire all night and
thought of how cold and hungry
they were. It is reported that
the ladies thought it great
fun, but that their husbands
grumbled and said bad things
about the commissariat. It
seems that the team conveying
their outfit was overloaded and
got stuck on Alsea mountain;
the horses balked and there was
trouble generally, and the result
was that the ladies and gentle
men who awaited its arrival had
nothing .to eat, save one light
lunch, from early Sunday morn
ing until after noon Monday.

In another column appears an
offer of $50 for the arrest and con
viction of the party who broke into
the Jersey Creamery and abstracted
a number of cheeses. A similar
offense was committed at the same
place several months ago. The
product of this creamery must be a
superior article.
During the past week the case of
b E Martin, plaintiff, vs William
Newman, defendant, was tried in
the justice court before Judge Hol
gate. J F Yates appeared for
plaintiff and E E Wilson and J N
McFadden for defendant. A judg
ment was rendered against the de
fendant Newman for $48.50 and the
costs and disbursements of the
action.
Miss Ella Johnson left yesterday
for Portland and will be joined to
day by Miss Lucy Pernot and her
mother. From that city the party
will journey together to Paris.
Here Miss Pernot and her mother
will visit at their home while Miss
Johnson will proceed to Italy. She
expects to be in Corvallis again by
October next while the Pernots will
not return until the holidays.
It is reported that there will be a
big damage suit over the accident
at Eddyville last week resulting in
the death of Mrs Luckey and in
juries to Mr. Weltain and family.

been there to investigate the matter
returned home this forenoon. It is

Supt. Denman, Miss Anna Den
man, Miss Minnie Hodes and Dave
Osburn returned Tuesday from an
outing of a cougle of weeks in the
mountains, near Zahn Brothers
place. Wm. Baker and the rest of
.the party wiH return tomorrow.
Supt. Denman states that up to the
date of his departure the party had
killed six deer and caught trout
innumerable. Two of the bucks
slain were unusually large and fine,
and carried five point antlers. One
of the exciting events of the outing
was the appearance of a big black
bear, but, notwithstanding the fact
that volley upon volley was fired
at the animal, it escaped. From
what the party report of their out
ing, it is reasonable tv presume that
they may take outing No. 2 this
season.
