All of our subscribers will bear in mind I that subscriptions to the Gazette are pav-i able in advance. And we hope no one will (ask us to deviate from this rule. Since Mr. (Carter's death the subscription books have! been sadly neglected thus permitting some! (subscribers to become debnquent.

Jiy sugr ?an?c already this? fall preparatory to theirsssgpstion of Col Gillespie I wrote to the Sec retary of War, at Washington, asking him. 'to 'sanction the expending by the engineers of anj- sum which might be raised in -theS state for the continuance of the works. Th Secretary was pleased to reply and sent in structions to the department directing the! engineers to remain at the bay and continue! to worl with any funds supplied them, ren- dering vouchers to a committe to be appoint- d by subscribers. Mr. Polhemus received! jthe matter well. He has- manifested great! interest in the work and has expended th -. . - , . . . ?ou,uuu as it it was his own private moneys he was expending. In spite of statements ito the contrary, good work has been done. nd if the work can only be kept going until! ithe meeting of Congress next spring, great hings will be accomplished. In such a worl the element of uncertainty exists as in eve; undertaking in which the work of men opposed to tbe forces of nature. The objeel is the erection of a breakwater which shall concentrate the various channels into one, and by the increased force of the current car ry off the sand which overlies the rocky bar. here are two ways to do this: 1. By mat-! tresses made of brush and sunk. 2. By huge framed cribs filled with stone. The cril work is the cheaper of the two, but the mat- iresses are the best. Mr. Polhemus favored? be first way but the department were in) iSfavor of the second. Accordingly a crib was: unk with the result that after the first storm it came ashore. Events proved Mr. olhemus to be correct in his theory as t the best way of doing the work and also' right about the way of managing tbe work. verytning ne nas said about the improve-S ments has been verified. We now come to how matters stand at present: The appro-f priation almost ended. . Stone ready. Mat- resses ready. Corps of trained men working! jwell and harmoniously. All necessary outfit! on the spot. Everything working well andf smoothly. Ought we to let the matter stop?? No; give them funds to continue the work. f the works are stopped now the winter's storms will find the breakwater. unprotected and will as a matter of course seriously dam-l ge it. Next summer when the next ap-l propriation is available, everything 'will have to be begun anew.

The attempt to produce a second crop is as yet an expert ment, but Mr. H. feels confident that he can now have just as luscious strawberries: in the fall as in the spring and will next year raise them for market. The sample before us is fully up to last springs crop, sin both size and flavor. Preaching Rev. J. R. N. Bell will preach at the College Chappie in this city next Sabbath morning and evening.

We have received with feel ngs of the deepest sorrow intelligence of the leath of the President; therefore be it Resolved, That in the death of President arrielil we mourn the loss of a man who was a true representative of American insti tutions; who during his administration labored for the best interests of the whole people, and while he lived deserved and re eeived the orood wishes and support of a na pion of freemen; and that now in death we come in common to mourn over his untimely ave and pay this last tribute to his memo y. Peanlved That we deeply sympathize with the stricken famflv of the deceased in this their hour of great distress, and humbly ommend them to Hfm alone who can com fort the soul in affliction. Resolved, That the act of the cowardly ss.issin which has clothed the nation in hnourning is one of the most dastardly crimes that disgraces the page ot history. Resolved.

Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions: ;be furnished to the city paper for publication Pending the adoption of these resolutions, the following named gentlemen addressed the meeting in touching and appropriate language, namely: Wallis Nash Esq., Hon. John Burnett, Rev. Joseph Emery, Rev. J. Hanna, Hon. F. A. Chenoweth, Judge McFadden and Dr. Bayley. On motion a committe of arrangements (consisting of Judge Chenoweth, Prof. Mc- Elroy, Mayor Bryson, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Arnold were appointed to make ar rangements for the public meeting on Monday. On motion the committee on resolutions! were instructed to address an invitation through the press to the people of the county to attend the memorial service next Monday. On motion committee consisting of Rev. I. Bowersox, Thos. E. Cauthorn, S. L. Kline, Mrs. Dr. Iiee and Mrs, Emery Allen were appointed to drape the ball for the ser vices next Monday. On motion F M. Johnston, Jas. A. Yantis and Zephlin Job were appointed a committee; on finance. The large audience room of the city hall was filled to its utmost capacity and a feel ing of profound solemnity pervaded the oc- Crow. The three latter gentlemen were ppomted a committee to draft suitable olutions expressive of the feekng of the eeting, and reported the following which were unanimously adopted. Whereas: The appalling fact has been announced to us that the President of the United States, Ja:ne3 A. Garfield, has, at last died of a wound given by the assassm Guitteau, we, the citizens of Philomath, Benton county Oregon, in common with other citisens of our country, all of whom are, by this sorrowful event, turned to mourning, have convened on this evening to express our consternation and gnet at this great calamity; and whereas: we leem it a time the intelligence and virtue of the people should be as terrible to the causes and agents of this crime as the crime and national bereavement are grievous to us, we join, as one man, in the following resolutions. Reiolved: That the character, both private land omcial, of the deceased President is illustrious in its embodiment of the true ssence of an American citiaen, combinning courage, humanity, lustice, and piety. Resolved: that his administration began with the miat felinitnii j rvf aiia,,ir.ie5. ua that, too, under circumstances of th utmost dinculty; because the country in its overnmcnt, needed more ratorms and more mportant ones than any former one. But he, with distinguished wisdom, divined the right course, and, despite the most malig- snant apposition, proceeded in those steps! which, in their event, have secured the love nd admiration of all parties and classes. Kesolved: that, for the second time in the history of our country, a president has been stricken down by the hand ot an a3sas sin. And we compare the causes that could be adequate to produce a result so far from harmonious with the genius of a just and! tree christian people: and we attribute to, ithe causes of Jas. A. Garfield's untimely death a gravity not less than that of those: which inspired and abetted the infamous! Kooth. Resolved: That, while the absence of proo: of the personal implication of certain leaders of the socalled stalwarts in the crime com-! pell3 us to judge them personally free, yet we only the more plainly see that a system; formidable, and almost incomprehensible on account of this great national sorrow. We designate it as the spoils system; aud the fact that a president has been martyred by it proves it to be not lessfc be feared md: abhorcd by the people than the armed and) organized rebellion of 1865. Resolved: That it is not the least of many things, to be recorded to the honor of Mr. Garfield that his wise and determined measures attacked and drove to extreme; action the forces of the said system. And Bit is the prayer of this people that the ad- mini; tration ba carried out according to Mr. Garlields, purposes; even if it result in he dissolution of Mr. Arthur's former re lations with those who have constituted the, only defiuito opposition Mr. Garlield en countered. Resolved: that we respectfully ask that a! special example of retributive justice be made or the infamous perpetration ot the'; deed, and that such things be enacted in our national legislature as shall tend to orevent the recurrence of such an event.
