For Taquina Route Not Accepted yet Developments Expected. ? The claim is that an ocean ser vice is on the point of being placed in connection with the Yaquina railroad. Mr. Hurd of" Florence, who has just completed ? the con struction of a small steamer,' re cently wrote to a Corvallis business man, inquiring as to whether or not a sufficient freight offering could be secured to load his vessel for a v . three trips per month schedule between Yaquina A "and San Francisco. It is known that the replv was of such character as to indicate that if the vessel made regular trips that she could and would be fully, loaded on each down trip, provided rates were satisfact ory, . As to the rates, there is , no doubt that an independent"' line could make rates far below the ex isting rates and make money. The haul that the Southern Pacific has to make over two or three chains of high mountains makes it very costly for that ; company to trans port wheat, flour, oats and other heavy products to San Francisco It is also 3e -lared that the Cor vallis & Eastern Company is con sidering a plan to put a steamer of its own in the Yaquitia and San Francisco trade. This statement has not been confirmed by any offi cial of the company, but people close to the throne say it is true. The urgent need for such a s-earner is constantly felt by shippers. Oats is now being bought by Corvallis millers, who are forced to store the product in warehouses because they cannot secure cars to ship the oats to San Francisco. A consequence is that, since they must hold " the product ' and pay insurance and warehouse charges, it is impossible for them to bid the price that would be possible were they able to ship at once! ' Hops, hay, wheat "and lumber and every other important product is compelled by the car famine on the Southern Pacific to wait and wait' for weeks and months for means of shipment abroad. The Benton Mills recent ly waited one month for the South ern Pacific to suplly them a single car that they needed ; for shipment of flour to San Francisco. ' The saw mill at Mills City is said to be be hind no less that 53 empty cars that it has ordered that are required for shipment of lumber over the South ern Pacific is compelled to hold the product for lack of means of transportation,' The whole si ua tion seems' pre-eminently favorable, and if an" ocean ' service - from "' Ya quina; to San Francisco is not soon established , every j consideration would seem to -suggest that, at least it ought to be. TO RAISE SALARIES. Chief of Police and Nightwatch ask it , Ordinance is Pending. At a meeting Monday night the nightwatchmcn and chief of police presented a joint - petition, asking the city council to. raise their sal aries. The petition set forth that the former salary of each was $60 per mouth; and that the reduction to $45 fof the chief and $40 for the nightwatch was made when the cost of living was much less than it is now. They pointed out that, on account of the rise in the '.price of almost everj' necessity in life, the purchasing power of their present salaries is not more than seventy per cent of what itormerly. wag. The petition was accompanied by an ordinance fixing , the . salary :i of each at' $60 per month, an advance of $20 per month for the night watch and $15 for the chief of po lice. The ordinance was . read a first and second time5", and Council man Cameron moved a suspension of the rules ,- and a , final passage. Councilman Henkle opposed, , say ing that while he might favor ,an increase, the advance proposed was too great. The vote on Mr. Cam eron's motion was five for suspen sion and one against, : A vote of six councilmen is always necessary to suspend the rules for final pas sage of the ordinance, .and the pro posed change went over to the next monthly meeting. ;, H A P H: I I a 1 I . 7 I e I y t . - ; Our men'?, boy'e aDd children's Clothing stock is row complete, the strongest we have ever ehown.
