The present work at Yaquina Bay has been progressing finely with but an occasional Unimportant exception. Engineer Polheftous is doinj a good Work. The expense ot this underta king is costing about five thousand dollars per month. At this rate if they have to depend only upon the appropriation from Congress, the the work will have to stop about the middle of next October and wait un til after the meeting of the next ses sion ot Congress for want of money to proteed with. There is hardly a doubt but what the next session of Congi ess will make another appro priation, because Col. Gillespie has already recommended in his last an nual report that sixty thousand dol lars be appropriated for this long needed improvement. We understand that M. C. George, our present member of congress in tends to ask that body and insist up on their making an appropriation for this purpose, an amount which will be equal to the sum which the pres ent Oregon Pacific railroad company will have to pay ns duty upon their steel rails already shipped and on the way from England to he used in the cor ' strut lion of their road, which is about 6000 tons. The duty upon this amount will aggregate about $129,000. We have strong Tcasors to hope that the next appropriation will amount to near the latter sum, as the government will virtually have to pay nothing, but simply in effect to permit ihe amount of duty paid by the railroad company to be used in the construction of the works at Ya quina Iay, which she can well af ford, and it would only be an act of justice for her to do so. While the prospects in this regard are abundantly hopeful yet an un favorable feature is presented in the fact that the present work will have to stop so soon as about next Oct. 15th unless money is forthcoming from some other source besides the present appropriation; which will result in much of the neccessary things used in and about the work becoming scattered and virtually de stroyed, to replace them will require time expense and delay. A plan is suggested to relieve all of this diffi culty in which the secretary of war has kindly consented to permit the present staff" of vorkrnen to continue upon the improvement after the present appropriation is exhausted in the event money can be raised for that purpose. Money being the great thing wanting to permit this improvement to steadily progress so as to be finished at as early a time as possible, and thus afford the neo. pie a thorough and complete means of direct competition in the way of sending the products of Oregon to the markets of the world, would it not be the wisest thing, for the peo ple of this- state and particularly ihose of the Willamette valley to go forward and systematically and thoroughly work this matter up and obtaiu from every person who is able a small donation to go into a gener al fund to be used in prosecuting this improvement. It will only take a small sum from each to raise $5000 per month for this purpose, until af ter the next session of congress and thus ke p the work steadily in prog ress. '! he amount of money paid in this way would be more than doublv returned in the moving of a singie crop. This is an important matter to consider and the psople should think a boot it quick and act soon. GRAVELNG SECOND STREET. There is no longer room for specu lation in regard to the course the rail road v, ill take when it is extended beyond Roseburg. Already survey orsare at work locating the road and driving grade stakes, and as nearly as we are able to find out, the course as decided upon will be south from here, to or near Canyonviile. but it is not definitely settled whether the rad will be located through the can yon or around by the head of Cow Creek, the cost being about the same on cither route. From the head of the canyon it is supposed that the road will he located through the Cow creek and Grave creek hi'ls as far so-.ih as Jump off Joe, and from there take a south western course through IImj mountains aiming to strike some w.tere about Crescent City. Then iuwn the coast and connett with the Donahue road which Mr. Villard has liitely bought, and which rnns up the ;.ast from San Francisco about 125 miles. Plaindeakr. Tho ordinance of the common council of this city passed on the 18th day of last month, on the subject of improving a portion of second street, provides that the portion of said street therein designated "shall be graveled with good clear river grav el to be placed on said street, at least five inches thick in the centre and to extend ther from with a gradual slope to a depth of at least three inches on each side. This law ap pears to meet with universal favor by all property holders whose duty it became to make the outlay imposed on them by our city dads. Like all good citizens should do, most of them have performed their part of the work and we believe the rest of them have made the neccessary ar rangements to do so, and that so far as the property holders are concerned the work will soon be finished sub stantially in compliance with the or dinance. But sec. 7 of said ordinance further provides that "The cross street on the part of second street to be improved, shall be done at the ex pense ot sanj city; under the re- quiremants of this section the city has seemingly went forward to per form their part of this undertaking but we are informed that the street committee have ordered only twenty five loads of gravel to place upon this cross street which is to cover a space of about eighty feet square, and when this enormous amount of gravel is spread out in the thinest manner pos sible in order to make it cover this large space, it will then probably be about one and one half to two inches in depth in the center and probably none of any consequence on either side. It is to be hoped however that these directions only proceed from the committee and will not be ap proved by the council, and that the council when they meet will see that this cross street is improved fully -in compliance with the ordinance which they themselves have passed, for if the council whose duty it is to make the laws and see that they are complied with, and also to act with equal jus tice to all, are the first ones to so far forget themselves as to evade the law they seek to enforce against private citizens, what can we expect from in dividuals when the council should, be yond all others set a good example. astqriaaqpipes. The man at the helm who pretends to furnish the wind and thunder for the Aatorian, says: ''Neither the Central nor Southern Pacific folks have, any part or interest whatever in the Yaquina Bay schemes. When ever they take hold"- of anything jt has got to le the big end of it. They will never become interested in a schooner port." So far as the interests above alluded to we know not nor do we care who is interested iu them so long as it is evident beyond question that the work at Yaquina Bay and on the railroad extending therefrom is going to be pushed forward. Neither do we care for the uncalled for slurs which are so frequently hurled at the improvements going on in this part of the state, as long as they come from such a source as the above, be cause a man whose ideas are so small that he cannot see any benefit to ac crue to h's locality or to the people at large from an extensive public im provement in another part of the state, is too insignificant to injure anything, no matter what he may say. And we beg pardon of our readers for inflicting them with this item, or for descending into an atmos phere necessary to look upon such a pompous bag of wind and contempt ible mass of littleness. From tho New York Times. The troubles in Pery County, Ark., show that an alarming state of things exists in that section of country. The "outlaws," as the reigning spirits are called, are very clearly in a ma jority, and unless the (jcvernor's promise to put these men down is fulfilled speedily mob law will rule in the county. An editor was mur dered for publishing facts and figures disigned to prove that a deputy Sheriff had been a defaulter. The friends of the Deputy Sheriff (who is now on trial) are not only deter mined that no investigation of his ac counts shall be made, but that, the accused man shall not be committed for tho murder ot Mathews, the ed itor. They threaten the life of the presiding Judge, and his house is guarded by the State Militia while the ltg' proceedings are in progress. The country is declared under mar tial law, and the threatened Judge feels obliged to explain why he does not flee for his life. This is is a re markable condition of affairs in a so- called civilized country iu which we are usually taught to look for the rough justice of Judge Lynch rather than for a deliberate defense of a criminal.. SOMETHING TQ DO, The ocean steamers every trip down have more freicht awaiting them than they can carry, the O. R. & N. Co. are moving 4000 tons of wheat to San Francireo for M. C. Moore & Co., of Walla Walla about a thousand tons at a time. Oregonian, Aug. 14th. It is a notorious fact that a large proportion of the wheat crop of Ore gon finds its way by steamer to San Francisco. There was a time when the chief objection to Yaquina Bay as a shipping point came from those who argued strenuously against pay ing tribute to San Francisco. Noth ing short of deep sea vessels, capable of carrying Oregon products direct to foreign ports, would meet the re quirements of trade. This was true both in principle and fact, but ever since the O. R- & N. Co. undertook the control of the car rying trade of the Columbia river routes, there has been a growing scarcity of foreign bottoms, and it has been found (so apologists say,) economical to ship by the company's steamers to California and re-ship to Europe, mainly for the reason (stated) that better rates could be obtained in San Francisco than Portland. If this is true, there is no reason why wheat cannot be delivered in San Francisco via Yaquina Bay by steameis of 2500 tons burden cheaper than it can pos- posibly be done f om Portland, par ticularly is the case with the Willam ette valley and eastern Oregon. But the friends of Yaquina asked for an improvement of the bar, long belore the railroad was certain. Had the Oregon Pacific designed business system, the profit of which is vouched for, from time to time, by the state ment of earnings sent abroad by the O. R. & N. Co., they would have never spent both time and money to secure an appropriation for the bar; on the contrary a class of vessels such as ply with regularity over bars on the southern coast, where the best water is only twelve feet, could be built carrying 25 to 28 hundred tons. Fortunately, however, the people have a strong and faithful friend in the managers of the Oregon Pacific, one disposed and anxious to assist in procuring farther aid in improving the harbor, and the producers . inter ested now, as they never have been before, have a hard struggle ahead. The aggregation of railroad capital bitterly antagonistic to O. P. It. R as well as any effort made to give the central portion of Oregon a shorter and cheaper route to tho seaboard, and will be ably represented on the floors of congress by a lobby alike earnest and scrupulous. Thoroughly understanding this, what should be done to secure proper attention? Our representative is a staunch friend and advocate of river and harbor improvement, believing that these will act as a-clu ck on mo nopolies Senators G rover and Sla ter have stated publicly that if the Oregon Pacific was assured, there would be no difficulty in obtaining further recognition from congress, so their influence can be counted on as Now I submit to all candid if anv better argument or stronger appeal could be made before the committee on commerce than the statement, substantiated by reports of the engineer department, that the people of the Willamette valley had contributed a moiety of their hard earnings to carry forward the works until further assistance was rendered by the government, this would show confidence in the plans and furnish the best possible evidence of the people's necessities and the great ob ject sought, and in my opinion would carry sufficient weight to complete ly swamp the O. R. & Co's lobby in a body, and plant the question of an appropriation far beyond the chance of failure. As the Secretary of war has kindly consented to act with the means furnished and give vouchers for the same, it necessarily follow that there should be organized action, hence the Grangers are the proper parties to take this in hand, and the sooner the better, and every man, whether Granger or otherwise should feel specially called upon to contrib ute something to obtain relief from the monopoly that is settling down on this young state with cruel earnes. ness.

Some days ago while Mr. James Reed, a member of Pro tection No. 4, was running to a fire be be came over-heated and was prostrated with a severe attack of heart disease. He had been effected with this disease for some time past, and the excitement and exertion aggravated the ailment and laid him up. He continued to grow worse, and was finally taken to St. Vincent's hospital. After lingering along fr a week, he quietly breathed bis last yes terday morning at that institution. De ceased was a young man of steady, industri ous habits, and respected by all within the circle of his acquaintance. In respect to Ms memory flags are displayed at half mast over the various engine houses of the city. Oregonian, A QUESTION OF CHARACTER. From the New York Times. The thick and thin democratic or gans, whenever a republican journal takes occasion to point out errors -in the conduct of its own party, res pond with the proposition that the true way to remedy and avoid these errors is to turn the country over to the democratic organization. Iu any condition of things likely to occui very scon, to turn from republicans to democrats for reform would be going from bad to worse. ' The dem ocrats came into possession of the majority of the house of Representa tives on the strength of their prom ises to do what the republicans had omitted to do, and subsequently they gained the Senate. Yt, after a very fair trial of their sincerity, at a time when, though the president w; s re publican, they had nothing to fear for good legislation from his vetoes, they have been dismissed by the peo" pie. Tney have only their own lead ers to thank for their discredit and discharge. The9e have done little but quarrel over the most narrowly and bitterly partisan measures. We are ready to admit that the republi cans have by no means done all that they could or should have done. It may well be that a radical reform will come from neither party, but from a combination of the belter men of each. But that it can be reached by the complete domination of the democratic party is a proposition which sober men will be very slow to admit. GENERAL NEWS. V. S. Ralls, one of the old time residents of Jackson county, died at his residence near Willow Springs on Tuesday night of last week. He was near 59 years of age. The Tidings says the Ashland Woolen Mfg Co. will manufacture a hundred thousand dollars' worth of goods this year. Caldwell & Bybee's large barn at Tule Lake was burned to the ground last week with all its contents. The Yreka Journal says that an army officer has been sent to Fort Klamath to make estimates and arrangements for the construction of a military telegraph line from th,it post to Ashland. Oregon. Mr. Whitney, of New York, ami 2vlr. Os" born, of Michigan, actuated by a laudable desire to see something of this country, left Portland "Tuesday morning for Mt Hood, accompanied by Prof. Pratt, who will take them up into that mountain. A disastrous fire occurred at Cheney W. T. on last Saturday morning. The losses are ns follows: Payne & Rich, dealers in general merchandise, $9,000 insured for J57, 5000; E. Wflce, builder, 32,000; Stratton & Harrington 2,000, insured; and several other small bums. The Columbia sailed from Portland last Satuiday evening at 12 o'clock with a large list of passengers and the following freight: 12,801 sks wheat. 1,500 bd!s laths, 218 sks oats, 208 bx dried apples, 72 sks wool, 1 1 cs eggs, 3 crates crockery. 18 pkg3 Gov't freight, 60 tons pig iron. The Countess of Derby l.as completed discharging her cargo of railroad iron at Portland, and has taken in a lot of wheat for stiffening. Messers. Balfour, Guthre & Co. nave her cargo of valley wheat awating her at Greenwich dock, and in a few days she will be on her way to the United King dom. From H. C. Perkins who is just in from Harney valley we learn that the young cattle in that section and in the neighbor hood of Steins mountain are dying Tin large numbers of a disease which is known as the black leg. The mortality is chiefly confined to young cattle and is contagious. It will be a serious matter tor our stockmen if this disease gains such an ascendency as the rinderpest and kindred diseases does in other sections. Lake county Examiner. Lieut. Davis is at Fort Klamath arranging for the delivery of poles and doing other work conected with the construction of the new military telegraph line- from Ashland to Fort Klamath. Plaindeaier. Mr. D. J. Pankey says the Plaindeaier, has the largest yield of grain we have heard of yet. He had oats that yielded sixty bushels to tho acre. Average yield of wheat forty bushels to the acre. Can any other precinct in the county beat that? Some time since Mr. Jacob Wills, who resides at Willis Station on the East side road, had one of his fingures crushed in a mowing machine. He has since suffered amputation of the member twice and now erysipilas has set in and it is probable that he will loose a greater portion of his hand. A large abeess lias formed ou one of his legs, caused from blood poisoning, that keepsjhim very ow, so that the operation has been in definitely postponed to await a favorable opportunity. Standard. Dr. Trowbridge and T. B. Maxwell left Monday morning for the north fork of the Santiam to thoroughly prospect a new silver mine lately discovered in that section. The ledge is twelve feet in width, and some of the rock from the surface has been aasayed by Professor Steen, of this city, and yelded at the rate of $46 per ton. It is proposed to extract a sufficient quantity of the ore to obtain a certam test of its value. Standard. Jack McKinzie was killed at Walla Walla on Friday evening last while endeavoring to stop a runaway team. He was slightly under the influence of liquor at the time, and as the horses were turning a corner he ran out to head them off. Misjudging hi8 ground he ran directly in front of the ani mals, and while falling, one of the horses struck him in the head with his knee, crush ing his skull and breaking his neck, causing almost instant death. Standard. TELEGRAMS, Accidental discovery of obstructions in the track of the ball near the mouth of the wound, is regarded by unofficial physicians as evidence of great neglect of the president. Dr. Boynton said about 9:30 to-night that it was well to admit this vomiting of the president might portend serious results; that while it was doubtless true that severe coughing had brought on the vomiting, it might indicate weekness of the stomach, and unless the president's stomach will admit of his taking nourishment into it from now on, the case woqld look desperate. Boynton thought tomorrow would decide the case one way or another. Soon after Dr. Bliss ad mitted substantially that the condition of the case tomorrow would be likely to show whether the president can recover not. He expressed himself as feeling hopeful, but said the president must be able to receive nourishment in the natural way if he is to recover. Egbert L.

The secretary of the interior and the In dian commissioner lately signed a document transferring land from the Sioux to the Pim caa.

Nntt Station, N. M., Aug. 18 Apaches made a raid on our settlement this morning in heavy force.

The Indians are in several parties moving southwest. Every availab e man under General Hatch is either in the held or guarding settlements. The uutnber of troops is too small, however, and tlio people are arming tor selr-prorection. A delegation ot citizens from Socorro is now here asking the governor to call out the militia for the pro tection of settlements and mining eamps. Three volunteer companies are now arming at Albuquerque for service should the Na- vaioes become restless. fco tar the troops have had no fights with the hostiles. Tho N. Y. World says: It is quite certain that if the Sandwich Islands are to he erased from the list of independent nations, the United States neither ought to or will per mit them to pass under anv sovereignty ex cept our own. On that point it is to be hoped that president Garfiield and secretary Blaine may have made themselves as explic itly understood in Europe as we learn from Gen. Koye3 to-day that they have done in the matter of our relations with the United States of Colombia aud the Isthmus oi Panama. The Tribune says that the republicans of New York are goiug to be more thoroughly an-.l heartily united than ever ) efore. The controling question with them will be whether the cause of the administration shall be sustained. Whatever differences there is among republicans is with regard to the appointment of a single worthy oiiiuer who did not meet favor in the eyes of Conk ling; twit neither Conkling nor any of his friends can afford to strengthen and inten sify opposition to them. It may be presum ed they do not desire and it is certam they will not dare to make wr.r on the republican party on account of a single nomination, the anti-monopoly movement does not seem to represent anybody in a political sense, it has no authority to uiot voters to a new party or against either of the old parties. The extremely low rates of freight v. hich have been given by railroads during the past two months have ttone far to remove from Ihe public mind much of the hostility to corporations. The queen ha3 signed the Land bilL A stabbing affray occurred at Hubbard on Thursday of last week, says the Appeal, iu which Mr. Jack Knowle3 was seriously wounded at the hands of a young man named Lish Kiilin. Killin had been paying attention to Knowle3, daughter for some time and the trouble grew out of the refusal of Knowles to consent to their marriage. Killin had been about the premises threat ening nearly all day, and Knowles patience at last becoming exhausted he ordered Killin away, when the latter assulted him with a pocket knife inflicting a ssvere cut from above the collar-bone and immediately back of the jugular vein, also a slight wound on the back of the head, besides badly crush ing him about the shoulders. Dr. Grim was called and attended the wounded man, pronouncing the cuts not neccessarily dan gerious; to what extent the bruises will en danger his life cannot yet be ascertained. The blow of the knife was well directed, and the only circumstance that prevented' it proving fatal was that the knife was very dull and broken at the point which preven ted the severing of the main artery. Knowles is a quiet peace loving man, beside is old and physically incapable of defending himself. Therefore the people generally denounced the affair as being totally unpro voked, uncalled for an I cowardly. Justice Fitzgerald issued a warrant of arrest, but up to this morning Killin has not besn found. Says the Oregonian: about 2:30 o'clock Sunday morning the Chinese theater, at the corner of Alder and Second streets, was the scene of a big row in fact a mild sort of a riot. The theater was packed like a sardine box "from pit to dome," it being estimated that nearly 1000 celestials were in the build ing at the time. The audience claimed that they had been swindled by the management. When they came to the theater it wa3 with the understanding that the play should con tinue until 4 o'clock in the morning. At 2: 30 the performance was brought to a close, which breach of trust made the Chinamen very angry. They rose en masse and made onslaught on the furniture. Chairs, benches and tables were crushed and the chandeliers smashed to. fragments. The crashing of furniture and yelling of irate Johns was heard for several blocks. Officers Hudson and Day. who were near by, rushed up into the building, and, after a long struggle, quelled the rioters and restored peace. In the row Day lost his hat and "billie." There were several bloody nosc3 and black eyes, but nothing more serious. Last night the theater was in full blast again. Ho for the Yaquina Bay ! I CITY DISPENSARY.
