ASTORIA, May IS. Dr. J. A- Fulton,
Health Officer, has taken official notice of
the report that the plague exists in San
Francisco, and until he shall receive offi
cial notification that the report Is un
true he trill establish a strict quarantine
against that port. This afternoon he no
tified G. W. Lounsberry, local agent of
the O. R. & N., that the steamers of his
company -would be quarantined for ten
days upon their arrival from San Fran
cisco, and he also intends to take the
pame action toward other vessels arriv
ing: from the same place. Dr. Fulton sent
a telegram this afternoon to Surgeon
General Wyman. of the marine hospital
service, telling him of the report and that
he was desirous of knowing from him if
the plague still existed in San Francisco.
"When the plague -was first discovered in
that city. Dr. Fulton had correspondence
with Governor Geer about having all
trains entering the state from there placed
4n quarantine, and the result was that
?o fund was found available for the pur
pose, but SuTgeon General Wyman in
formed Dr. Fulton that Tinder the inter
state commerce act th Government had
jsuch authority, and that It would be ex
ercised, if necessary.
United States Quarantine Officer Dr.
Hill Hastings has received no official
cotification 6f the existence of the plague
in the Bay City from his superior officers,
end until he does he will take no action
In tthe matter, unless a vessel shall ar
rivo In port with sickness on board.
Quarantine Officer Hastings received in
structions from the Surgeon General at
Washington today, notifying him that all
vessels leaving Honolulu after May 1 can
be passed without fumigation, provided
they have had no sickness on board.
The four-masted schooner that appeared
off the mouth of the Tiver yesterday was
the Charles R. Wilson, from Honolulu for
this port. She received orders, from tbe
pilot schooner Sin Jose, to proceed to
Grays. Harbor to load lumber. Her agents
had made arrangements so it would not
be necessary for her to coma in here and
go through quarantine regulations.
R. M. Leathers has neen awarded the

THAT M'KEXZIE BRIDGE.
ie Objection, ThoBgrh the Tfcor-
i RTli fa re Is an. Important One.
EUGENE. May lSL-rConsiderable contro
rsy is result ng from the action of
a County Court In advertising for bids
for the construction of a bridge across
the McKensie River at Hendrlcks Ferry
Some argue against the construction of
the bridge, on the ground that an equal
expenditure of money on the road above
the crossing will be a. greater benefit to
the public than a bridge would be. Others
remonstrate on the ground that the .coun
ty Is considerably involved in debt, and
claim no further expenditures should be
made for new bridges. Others support
the move for the bridge, holding that such
an expenditure would be practical econ
omy, and for the benefit of the county as
a. whole.
Where the bridge Is contemplated the
county is now maintaining a free ferry.
This ferry h, a poor thing, but has done
pretty good service In the absence of -anything
"better. At certain reasons of the
year it is considered dangerous. It does
not work well when the water is high,
and when it is low it Is only operated
with a great deal of trouble. When the
water is at the best stage for ferrying
there are immense quantities of logs run
ning in the stream, and they make It ex
tremeh dangerous, and at times the ferry
cannot be run at all.
The road up the McKenzie is now a
ceavily traveled thoroughfare, and It Is
considered important that it be kept in
condition for traffic, and this can not well
be done without a bridge. The Blue River
nnnes are attracting a great many pros
pectors and miners, and all their supplies,
machinery, etc, have to be taken over
this road. There is also an immense
amount of logging on the river, which
requires a good deal of hauling. Alto
gether the business going over this road is
of great value and importance, and this
will increase rather than diminish, making
good roads and bridges necessary.
Colonel G. O. Yoran today received from
the Adjutant-General his commlss-on as
Colonel of the new Fourth Regiment. Ore
gon National Guard. He will at once re
port to the brigade commander for duty,
and as soon as assigned will begin the
work of putting the new regiment Into
working order. The appointment of regi
mental staff officers will be one of the first
duties, and these win probably be ap-

pointed without delay. No selections have
been announced for any of the staff posi
tions. A regimental band will be organ
ized, and from the material available for
this purpose an excellent musical organi
zation Is practically assured. The regi
ment will be in good working order before

TO SAW WHITE OAK DUMBER.
"Work to Begrin at Once en the Tract
BoHght JTear Dallas.
CORVALLIS, May IS. A newly organ
ized local corporation Is the Corvallls Oak
Lumber Company, which Is to engage in
the manufacture and sale of hardwood
lumber. The stock of the company Is all,
taken, and the holders are: Nell New-'
louse, Samuel Whiteside and E. W.
Strong, all residents of Corvallls.
The company paid $4500 for the 500 acres
of oak timber land four miles south of
Dallas, purchased Wednesday. The tract
Is described "by the Forest Inspector as
the best body of white oak timber In the
.Willamette Valley. Mr. Newhouse will
J leave Monday for Portland, to purchase a
saw mill, which It is expected to have In
operation on the tract by June 10. The
capacity of the mill is to be 10.000 feet
per day, and It Is estimated that the
, newly acquired timber will keep the mill
engaged for three or four sears. In the
! Autumn, machinery will be added for the
manufacture of the knots and limbs of the
trees Into material for fancy oak furnl-
i ture.
I The principal office of the company will
be at Corvallls, and E. W. Strong, pro-
' prietor of the Corvallls saw mill. Is to be
business manager. The Dalles tlnYbertract
was selected by Mr. Newhouse after a two
months' Inspection of various tracts of
! similar timber In various parts of the
alley, from Oakland to the northern end.
The new enterprise Is another instance of
a trend towards better appreciation and
fuller recogn.tion of Oregon hardwoods In
the manufacturing world.

NEW MAYOR OF
H. CARROLL KIXXEY.
GRANT'S PASS. Or., May 11. H. Caroll Kinney was born In Canada in 1S30.
but moed to Orleans County, Vermont, at the age of 7, where he resided until 20
years of age. He then located at St Johnsbury, Vt., where htf was In the employ
of E. G. Fairbanks & Co. until 1SS2. Coming West, he was engaged In the lumber
business In Idaho for three years, and suffered a serious loss In the burning of the
mill. In 1SS5 he came 'to Grant's Pass, and in October of that year was one of the
incorporators of the Sugar Pine Door & Lumber Company, with which he has
since been Identified, being the president of the company. Mr. Kinney has been
one of Grant's Pass most worthy citizens, having always stood for the best In
terests of the town, whatei'er his office. He has been elected three times each to
the City Council and School Board, and has the reputation of being an exemplary
official. The present high standard of the vocal music of the city is, in a great
measure, due to Mr. Kinney's untiring efforts to cultivate a taste for the best.
The Bogue River Valley Choral Union had its beginning among tho singers, of
Grant's Pass, and is doing much to bring the choicest music before its audiences
at conventions. Mr. Kinney's beautiful home'stands on a hill in the northern part
of town, and affords a fine view of the surrounding- country.
that the Oregon representatives proved
their superiority and handled the ques
tion in a much abler manner than did
their opponents.
The question discussed was, "Resolved,
That Government ownership and opera
tion Is the best solution of the railway
problem." Washington supported tho
affirmative, being represented by Ernest
W. Schoder, T. W. Mitchell and T. T. Ed
munds. The Oregon men who supported
the negative were Walter L. Whittlesey.
Bernard C. Jakway and G. O. GoodalL
Hon. Henry F. McClure. Hon Harold
Preston and Hon. E. D. Benson, all of
Seattle, acted as judges, and Mayor
Thomas J. Humes as chairman.
The Oregon men appeared to handle
the question In a much abler manner
than the home team, the splendid rebuttal
work of Jakway and the forcible closing
speech of Whittlesey standing out with
marked effect- The Washington represen
tatives presented a series of set speeches,
attempting little rebuttal. Edmunds, the
second colleague, did the most effective
service for the team, and his work prob
ably accounts for the result, although ora
torical ability seemed to be much more
in evidence than argument. Schoder. the
leader, made a careful presentation of the
case, but failed to substantiate his state
ments by authority, while Mitchell, the
second colleague, appeared to no better
advantage. The Oregons, themselves,
ha e nothing to say concerning the result,
put many persons who heard the contest
arc of the opinion that they merited the
decision.
The Oregon athletes arrived from Eu
