A Good O. P. Item. A Boise
City dispatch reads: Some time a?o
K. W. Hadley, receiver of the Ore
gon Pacific, wrote to Mayor Pinnev
of Boise, for maps and other infer
mation regarding this section of
the State. 1 he request was com
plied with. In a letter acknowlede
ing the receipt of the documents,
Mr. Hadley says of the Oregon Pa
cific: "During all its vicissitudes, I
don't think it was ever so near con
struction ami extension toward the
promised land of Eastern Oreeou
and Boise it is at the present
moment, and I feel sure if we all
put our shoulders to the wheel with
a long pull and a pull altogether,
we shall 'ere long be making the
dirt fly in your direction." The
fact that such a statement Is made
by the receiver Is thoitght to indi
cate that strong parties are prepar
ing to take hold of the road with
a view of pushing it eastward to a
connection with the Burlington; or

All Yaquina Bay retr.iires now is
a dry dock and we would have the
best port on the coast. We will
recommend this as a port of refuge
for vessels in need of anything,
even several capable masters to
navigate them if such an article is
required.
We see by the Oregoniart of the
20th. that the "old snlu" ,, Vo.
quiua Bay predicted that the Alice
Blanchard would never come off
the sand where she drifted with the
tide a few days ago. Who ever
made that asertion never was pick
led very long or else the rainy
weather has soaked him fresh.
The vessel went on with the falling
tides and any person that knows
anything about the tides could plain
ly see that with the snrW HiW the
ship would come off herself if left
aione. Jvmpioy a marine reporter
Mr. Scott. VOU live too far from
salt water or your peporler does not
Know neap-tide trom spring-tide.
The Alice Blanchard never was
in a dangerous position while on
the sand in Yaquina Bay, when she
laid on the sand spit.
