A Bit of Oregom Sea Coast. An As toria paper says: "Messrs. Lewis and Flanders, of Portland, vrho own a beau tiful spot on Seal Rock Heights, near Elk creek, contemplate further improve ments on their buildings as soon as spring opens up. They have already expended several thousand dollars on the place, and propose to make it the finest private estate on the coast." The natural beauties and attractions of the place ex ceed those of any other on the coast. There Is a beautiful bit of beach, a lot of pic turesque rocks in front of it, one of which lias an arch through it big enough to sail a. pilot schooner through, while a shelving plateau on another is the haunt of sea lions In many times greater numbers than are to be seen at the seal rocks near the entrance to San Francisco harbor. The cliffs along the beach are something won derful in the contortions an convolu tions of the strata "which compose them, and at a point a short distance below, which may be reached at extreme low tide by passing around a haystack rock, on which many species of sea birds nest, there is a beach of singing sand. The place is some 10 or 12 miles from the Seaside house, by road, but it is a thou sand miles there by the longest trail over Tillamook Head. The place is worth spending thousands on, for "there is mill ions in it." Docks Cleap. Out of Range. A sports man who visited Sauvie's island a few days since came home with very few ducks. He saw there were plenty of ducks there, but nothing satisfactory could be done with t.iem. He found about 2000 ducks in his lake, but they "got up and got" when they saw him, and they never came back. They -went out into the Co lumbia, and the big loafing lakes, and loafed around all day and came back in the night to feed. Sir. Al Johnson was bound to coax some of them within range, land emptied ten sacks of wheat in a shal low part of his lake, but the result has not yet been learned. He is going up the valley to shoot snipe. A friend has writ ten to him that a few wisps of the great spring flight have arrived and the whole of it may be looked for any day now. As they are on their way to their breeding grounds in the far north, they will only stay in this state a few days to rest, but in that short time a great many of them will be shot. It is fortunate that the ducks, geese, snipe, etc., have some place to go to raise their young where sportsmen cannot penetrate, or these birds would soon be extinct. Rev. Driver Challenged. An open challenge has been issued by the First Secular church, Charles Hagner president and Clara Bailey secretary, to Rev. I. D. Driver, to debate the questions of di vine inspiration of the Scriptures and the doctrine of atonement with Jlr. C. B. Reynolds, of Seattle, Dr. Driver to take the affirmative and Mr. Reynolds the negative. The committee appointed in behalf of the First Secular church say that they have a letter from Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, denying that he ever met Dr. Driver in debate; furthermore, the committee declare the statement that Dr. Driver defeated Mr. Underwood to be without foundation, claiming that eye witnesses state that Dr. Driver was worsted in the debate until he sought ref ugeta.unpariaxnentai7"language. -Mr. C. B. Reynolds is secretary of the State Secular Union, and is endorsed by the First Secular church. Garbage Crematort Readt for Re pairs. Messrs. Hobkirk & McKenzIe have been notified that the garbage crematory hasbeen "blown ouf'andas soon as it is cool they will begin making the necessary repairs. They expect to send men down tomorrow or next day, and think the re pairs can be completed In three or four days. Just what arrangements will be made for the disposal of the city garbage during that time is not known. There has been no action taken by the council looking to the construction of a tramway at the crematory: for the purpose of en abling the garbage to be dumped Into a hollow place there any time when the crematory closed down. The rumors of a vigorous protest against such a scheme being made by the residents of the ad jacent country have evidently deferred, if not entirely done away with, the building of such a road. Another New Business Block: In ad dition to the buildings heretofore mention ed to be built during the coming season It Is learned that a brick block. 100 feet square, is to be put upon the Lloyd Brooke property, at the northwest corner of Stark and Sixth. The house now on the quarter block is to be moved around to face on Seventh street. Several property owners have under consideration the erec tion of buildings, which have not yet been mentioned, and some have gone so far as to have plans got under way. The cheapness with which buildings can be erected now is considerable of an in ducement to persons who have available property. Everything used in building, labor, lumber, brick, stone, iron, etc, is cheaper now than ever before known here. Toon Trices ron Nurserymen. Nur surymen complain that their prospects for selling fruit trees this spring are very poor. For the past two or three year.; they have been receiving many orders at this time of the year. Now orders are coming in slowly and are small in amount. Most of- them comprise nil sorts of trees for family orchards, and very few arc planting for commercial orchards. Prime two-year-old trees, which three jears ago brought 25 cents each, arc now offered for a cents each. One nurseryman said he begged a man the other day to take for $130, trees which he would have been glad to get three years ago for J9M. Some early trees, as peaches and almonds, are beginning to show buds, and now is a good time to do spraying. To Resume Work on the Jbttt. The favorable weather makes Major Post, United States engineers, anxious to have work resumed on the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia. The tug Cascades, which tows the rock for the jetty, has been un dergoing some rather extensive repairs to her hull, and it was hoped that those might be completed Saturday. As soon as she Is ready for service the shipment of rock will be commenced, as the barges are all in order. Larceny by Bailee Charged. Tester day afternoon Deputy Sheriff Cody arrest ed Hans Johnson and Emanuel "VValtdon, near Bertha, on a charge of larceny by bailee. A farmer named Hess accuses them of stealing a calf belonging to him. The prisoners were confined in the county jail, and today will have an examination before Justice Geisler. Chanoe or Time.

"Work is proceeding favorably at the Cascade canal. One of the big steel gates Is par tialis huntr. Tt fnn!? nf wrn tIons. J Ave horizontal and two vertical ones, J which weigh from 15 to 25 tons each, j Four of these sections are in position, and the others will be put on as rapidly as possible. These gates are to be 36 feet in height. The sections for one pair and part of another are on the ground and it is the intention to get the first pair erected in time to shut the June flood out of the canal, so that the work need not be Interrupted by it. If the rise is very great it will, of course, finally over flow the gates, but it is hoped that there will not be a great flood this year, and that there may be no interruption to the work. The water at the Cascades is lower now than It has been in a long time, and advantage Is being taken of this to com plete the side walls of the canal below the lower gate, which are 150 feet in length, and also the upper ends of the walls, which together form the four corners of the canal. Flags for a Holiday. Thirty-two hun dred flags were used In Portland for pur poses of decoration and parade last Fri day, furnished by the Junior Order of American Mechanics alone. The Me chanics had agreed to provide every school boy who would join the parade a flag, and as there were somewhere near 2000 in line, the greater part was used for the procession alone. Then many other flags were used the day before In decorating schoolhouses, and these liuewise came from the Mechanics. There were a great many "flags In the hands of men and boys about town Friday not In the par ade and these made up the remainder. This one item of expense cost the Mechan ics about 5130. So it is apparent that it costs more than a mite to make an Ameri can holiday. The Mechanics say they stand ready to furnish flags for every such celebration even if it costs much more. Building on the Old Cathedral Site. The work of demolishing the old Cathedral building will be com pleted in a few days, and as soon as this is completed the work of constructing the temporary building on the site will be be gun at once, and pushed to completion. This building will be only one story in height, or 10 feet As soon as business will justify, it will be removed, and a block in the same style as the first sec tion already completed for the stores, at the Oak-street corner of the property, will be built. Just how long before this will be done is what no one can tell. East Side Water. The bill to require the common council of Portland to turn over the East Side water plant to the water committee passed both houses. The water committee Is to collect the water rates, and the city is to pay the Interest on the bonds, amounting to $250,000; but the water committee, after paying the charges upon its own bonds, is to turn over to the city any surplus it may have, to the amount of $15,000 a year, for re imbursements of the city for interest paid on East Side bonds. No doubt Bull Run water will be given to the East Side soon. The Century War Books. The Ore gonian now has a nice supply of these books, bound In full cloth, for sale at the small price of $3. If they are to be mailed to you, add 50 cents for postage. This same history of the war, when sold in book form by the Century Company, sold for $20. When this supply is exhausted, it will undoubtedly be the last opportunity to get them through The Oregonlan. We also have a few of Napoleon bound in cloth, for sale at $2 50; also 50 cents to oe added for postage. The Income Tax Law. Collector of In ternal Revenue Biackman is receiving numerous inquiries in regard to the ex tension of the time allowed for filing in come tax returns. He says he has receiv ed no official notification of any extension of time having been made, but he has seen in. dispatches published that the president has signed a joint resolution extending tile tmfe 'for' filing return's from March 4 to April 15, and expects to receive of ficial notification of the fact in a day or two.

Question as to the Governor's Right to Appoint the Militia General. Some surprise has been occasioned In National Guard circles over -Governor Lord's appointment of a brigadier-general in the person of Colonel Beebe. Not that Colonel Beebe is not a most desirable personage for that high office, but because under the present military code General Compson's term of office is for four years, and so does not expire until next Decem ber. It would seem, on the face of It, that this practically amounts to the per emptory dismissal of General Compson to make room for Colonel Beebe, but those who claim to know say that the law fix ing the term of office of the brigadier general at four years Is unconstitutional, and that he must retire when the governor by whom he was appointed does, because he is a member of that governor's staff. The whole dispute really arises out of the question as to whether the brigadier general is a member of the personal staff of the governor, as commander-in-chief and staff of general officers, or whether he Is to be considered merely as chief of the line officers, or those who perform actual field duty. The constitution sim ply makes this provision: "The governor shall appoint the adjutant general and other chief officers of the general staff, and his own staff; and all officers of the line shall be elected by the persons subject to military duty in their respective districts." Section 3745 of Hill's annotated code provides that "the commissions of all officers hereafter elect ed shall continue in force three and four years, unless sooner terminated by ac cepted resignation or dismissal for cause. Commissions of officers on the personal staff of the commander-in-chief (gov ernor) and staff of the general officers shall continue in force only during the term of the office of the said commander-in-chief or general officer, or during their pleasure." Again, section 3775 provides that "the military officers of this state shall be chosen as follows: The brigadier-general by the commander-in-chief, with Uie con sent of the senate; field officers of regi ments and battalions by the written or printed votes of the commissioned officers of the respective regiments or battalions: the brigadier-general and field officers of regiments or battalions shall hold of fice for four years, and until their suc cessors are chosen and qualified. " If Governor Lord held this last section to be the law on the subject, It would ap pear that he cannot make General Comp son vacate the office until his term of four years has expired, which will not be until next December. It would certainly appear from this section that the brigadier-general must be classed with the line officers those who do actual field service and, therefore, according to the constitu tion of the state, must be elected by "the persons subject to military duty in their respective districts," which, in his case, includes the entire state. A clause in the constitution which is repeated In sec tion 3738 of the code seems to indicate that this was the intention of the framers of the constitution. It reads as follows: "The majors-general, brigadiers-general, colonels, or commandants of regiments, battalions or squadrons shall severally appoint their staff officers, and the gov ernor shall commission all officers of the line and staff ranking as such." This clause, in comparison with the con stitutional clause given above, would seem to indicate that the brigadier-general is, classed, as a line officer and not as one ofthe chief officers of the general staff. The sections of law above given are those which touch upon the point In dispute. Had the framers of the constitution de fined clearly the difference between an officer of the general staff and an officer of the line, so as to make It clear In which It classed the brigadier-general, the mat ter could be easily settled. The gener ally accepted definition of a line officer is one who marches in the line with the troops; a field officer, one who is in actual command of combined organizations in the field: and an officer of the staff, one who is on the staff of any field officer or the commander-in-chief; the "officers of the general staff" meaning those at the head of the several staff departments. The fact that the brigadier-general is, by law, chairman of the state military board, which IS made up of officers of the general staff, seems to class him with the general ttaff; but as the constitution made no provision for a military board, it cannot be claimed on that score that the brigadier-general is an officer of the gen eral staff and not a line officer, in the sense in which the constitution uses that term. According to section 3743 of the code, given above, It would appear, however, that the term of the adjutant-general's office expired when Governor Pennoyer went out of office, for the adjutant-general is chief of the governor's staff. But the constitutionality of this section has been attacked, and as the governor has thus far failed to appoint a successor to Colonel Mitchell, the colonel still holds the fcrt. General Compson has not yet returned from Salem, to that no expression of opinion as to the governor's appointment of his successor could be obtaind last evening. MILTON A. STRATTON DEAD The Enitt Portland nar.l:cr a Victim of Apopluxj Eust Side Xcsts. Mr. Milton A. Stratton, president of the East Portland National bank, met witli sudden death yesterday afternoon at his residence, S2 East Tenth street. Shortly after 2 o'clock, while engaged in adjust ing a bicycle for his younger son, he suddenly fell forward on the floor. Re gaining his feet he experienced a peculiar sensation about his head, and, after going to the kitchen and bathing it, he returned to the sitting-room and lay down on a lounge, still complaining of a severe pain in his head. Dr. C. H. Raffety was quick ly summoned, and reaching the house, was recognized by Mr. Stratton, who said, "How do you do, doctor?" These were the last words he uttered, and hardly had he spoken before he commenced to breathe heavily, rapidly sank Into unconscious ness, and shortly after he was dead. When his serious condition was realized, other physicians were summoned, but the stricken man was beyond all human help, a victim of apoplexy. Milton A. Stratton was born in Jefferson county, Ind., coming to Oregon In 1833, and was 36 years old at the time of his death. He belonged to a pioneer family, well known throughout the Northwest, especially In Oregon. In his early youth he acquired a thorough education, and for a number of years was employed as clerk for Mr. John Wilson. Afterward he was secretary of the Oregon woolen mills, at Oregon City, which position he held until 1S92, when he became connected with the East Portlpnd National bank. In all his business life Mr. Stratton pre served an unbroken record for Integrity and fidelity to every trust he was called to fill. Mr. Stratton has three brothers and one sister now living Rev. C. C Stratton. president of the Portland university; Jul ian A. Stratton, of Seattle, and H. S. Stratton. who is in Alaska, and Mrs. P. Willis, of this city. A deceased brother was at one time on the supreme bench of this state. He leaves a wife and four children, the oldest a young man of 21, en gaged in business at Medford. Mrs. Strat ton Is a sister of Richard, Emmet and George Williams, the well-known attor neys, the latter residing at Salem. The sudden death of Mr. Stratton will be a great surprise to his many friends, and will be generally regretted. To Rejuvenate "West "Water Street. The establishment of permanent free transportation in the central district will have a tendency to change the de serted condition of East Water street and the streets leading to it. But the condition of East Water street roadway Is extremely bad, and it will have to be re constructed. Any amount of traffic over it in its present condition will qulckly make it worthless and dangerous. From East Oak to East Clay the roadway is in a bad state, and will have to be re built entirely before heavy traffic can use it. But with free transportation es tablished in the central district, the property-owners probably could afford to have the roadway rebuilt. Steps are al ready being taken to rebuild between East Morrison and Hawthorne avenue, but this leaves out five blocks of East Water equally as bad. Electric Power for the Dock. The City & Suburban Street Railway Company is putting up additional feed cables from the power station at Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s saw mill to the ware houses In Lower Alhlna and the grain elevator dock. Already the company's wires extend to some of the Lig docks, and the cleaning machinery in them Is oper ated by the electriolty furnished; but more power is required In the elevator company's dock, and more cable had to be put up to supply It. Most all these docks are supplied with a cleaner, through which the grain Is run before being shipped. Burled "With Honors. The funsral of August Fink, an old res ident of Albina, took place yesterday from A. O. U. W. hall in Lower Albina, under the auspices of Eureka lodge, of which he was a member. There was a large turn-out and he was given the full hon ors of the order. Mr. Fink had lived in Albina for the past" 16 years, and had gained a reputation for integrity and fair dealing.
