Agate are reported to have been as plentiful at Newport this year a usual. It la ft very peculiar fact that water ur ates are found In no other place in the world txottpt on the beach for a few mile at Newport. At 0rst the theory wa that trie agate were wished up on the beach from the ocean, but tha munition irmw that if they could be washed up there why not elsewhere? Now the generally accepted theory and the one which is undoubtedly the correct one, I that they are In the cliffs, and are washed out ai the cl ill's gradually crumble away during the wlnbir. Thia fact wai demonstrated this smuttier bv an Albany ladv who duo- one) of these agate from the aide of the cllir. 8he bad noticed tha edge ot the atone protruding, and when it wa dug out the lady discovered that aha had a beautiful water agate.

Against the Franchise. fttKte Senator Fulton haa rendered an opiuiou in the interesting controversy relating to the leasing of the Nehalem river and its tributary, in which he hold that tiio Oregon law of 1889 la void, and that, in the case in question, the county court of Clatsop county haa not the authority to grant the request of the Wheeler Lumber Company for the lease. Owing to the great number of Oregon stream tbut are similar In size and locution to the Nehalum and its tributaries, thl opinion of Henator Ful ton I of the highest Importauce. Ilia conclusion appear clear, and it ia thought that the position he haa taken is correct, The opinion wa rendered at the re- lest ol Ilia nml.tlnir tlrst deals with the statu of the Neha- ; lund-owoert, and At the coal proipect lt mile from U'.rrnn luinv rinvelolied bV Mcr.

Mr. Fulton holds that the act of 1889 specifically provides that only unnaviguDie streams can he leased, and in support of hi atatoroent that ttie Ne halem i navhiable cite the definition of a navigable stream rendered by the Oregon upreme court, which follows : "Where stream Is naturally of sulli centilze to float mill loirs and. Itmav oe, imau uoataover tome portion ol It the public ha ft right to it free use for that purpose. Nor is it essential that such capacity continue throughout the year; It 1 sufficient that It period of high water, or navigable capacity, con tinue to sufficient length of time to make It useful as a highway." Likewise. Mr. Fulton holds that the law ol 1901 applies only to nnnavigable streams, though that law is not now be fore the court. On the ground that the Nebalem is a navigable stream under the ruling ol the supreme court here quoted, the attorney holds that the court ha not the authoritiy to lease it 10 tne petitioner. In Ins opinion Mr, Fulton hold, that the law of lHHil, as it is alleged to appl to the other streams the lease of wind Is petitioned lor the Uock creek, Hum bug creek and Fishhawk creek la un constitutional and has ever been so con sidered. He say : Innavigable streams are private property, the bed thereof being the proiierty of the owner ol land over which the streams flow, just ft com pletely a 11 no streams were there. No appropriation can be made of the streams or the beds thereof without such owner' consent, and then only for a public purpose noon payment of the value of the property and all damages caused by the appropriation. The stat ute ol 1HHU recognizes tins loot, and at' tempts to provide for condemnation of the ripmian right, but no provision 1 made for Diving notice to the owner. This defect I fatal to the validity of the act." In the opinion appears the following sarcastic paragraph : "I wish to suggest mat even n me law of 18HA ia valid, it i discretionary with the court to grant or refuse the lease, and surely it would be an abuse of discretion to lease to one corporation so many important streams. The Wheeler Lumber Company is evidently thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the times and rjronose to keen fully abreast of the procession of trusts, for it haa conceived the idea ol converting all our stream of mountlan water into trusts. I have heard that the trusts never fail to water Uieir stocks, but this is surclv the first instance where it was pr'posed to stock all the water." Columbia Connty Coal. The followluB appeared in last Frl day's Oregonian concerning the coal on Scappoose creex : "The lioard of trade has evidence that atnnm-nrmlticiixr coal can be laid down in Portland at ft cost of 3 a ton without building a railroad to the ledge, which ia eight mile from Warren, in Columbia county. E. C. Hanson, a California man, ha been developing the ledge for aeveral weeks, and now na. a seam i taut in tliiclrneas. samples from which have been ahown tha trustee of the board.

Here b) the opinion, extraordinary in in it conception, of one of our Wash ington exchange: "A western creamery ha evolved new scheme that of doing the family washings for it patron. A laundry outfit ha been placed adjacent to the creamery, and the steam, heat and water of the creamery plant are utilized by the laundry under the care ol a washerman, with the result that s great burden haa been removed from the farmer' wife and the farm home to the co-operative creamery. We do not see any reason why this scheme i not entirely practica ble. It certainly i worth investigation." The scheme is practicable, to be sure. from s standpoint oi ft labor saving de vice favoring the housewife, but it would not bear close investigation when parity and healthful qualities of the dairy pro- auct are taken into consideration, just Imagine the product of the creamery being flavored with the thick, gritty juice extracted from a few dozen pair of lock that had been worn for a num ber of day during hot weather. A a matter of fact, such a thing might never happen, out JUHt suppose it wouia, ana it might, where the opportunities would be so plentiful tor such ft mistake-to oc cur. Then the odor from the suds and steam from the clothes vat absorbed by the cheese and butter would constitute an excellent quality of product for the manuiacturer to put oeiore a puonc familiar with the fact. A co-operative laundry might be all right if it were op- eraiea on luo opposite eiue oi fcue inrui from the creamery, but the laundry. creamery and sausage factory all nnder one root would be quite ft failure in our hum tiio opinion. Tlmbermaa Item. In the current number of the Colum bia Biver and Oregon Timberman we find these item, concerning local firm, and of interest to our reader. : Malcolm Bros., of Clatskanie, are cut ting 81,000 shingles dally at their mill Norman Merrill, of Clatskanie, ha installed a shingle mill in connection with mi mill. Henry Colvin. of Marshland, ha pur chased a Wolff and Zwicker donkey for Ins camp, cutting out bia airing of bull lorever, so Henry lays. B. Suitor, of Weatport, ha hi mill running. Considerable improvement have been made : a dry kiln erected ; a Fay planer installed, and the machinery generally overhauled. Casper Libel, of Mist, the cedar mill man. waa in 1'ortlana in is wee, air. Libel sari the output of cedar timber cut on the Nehalem and bauled to Clats kanie this season will not exceed 600,000 feet. VShilo cedar is yet plentiful on theNebalem.it is setting farther back and until the building of a railroad, the amount cut will diminish annually in stead of increasing. , Nordbv. Olsen A Fluhrer have pur chased the machinery for their combined cedar lumber and ahingle mill about four mile, from Mayger, Or. The shin gle mill will be equipped with three machine, one ten-incn diock ana two band machine. The sawmill will cut mostly cedar stock for eash and door trade. XUcellaneeas Fragment.
