FRIDAY MAY 6, 1881.
As will be seen from a loll r pub
lished elsewhere in this week's
Democrat, from Senator Js. 11.
Sinter he is or the opinion that the
prospects for future appropriations
for Yaquina bay wilt depend in I
great measnre upon the prospects of
rail communication between the hay
and the valley. At the reeent con
vention held in this city in the in
terest of the Yaquina bay improve
ments our citizens expressed the
opinion that the prospects of r.'il
communication between the valley
and the harbor depended largely
upon increased facilities at the bajf
f .r the entrance of larger vessel.-.
It is probable that both views -r tin
question are quito right, eon.-iderew
from the different stand loints ai
which they were taken. However
we believe there is no douiu hu

A New York disjiatch unk-r date of

freight movement via Ch j ? Horn for
tke ; at four mouths 1ms been larger
than fur the same period of 180, the
movement for the mouth of April haft
been less than in the correotnliii
month e last year, which reflects the
dullness that has been noted during the
past few weeks, and which is likely to
continue for some time to come. Tbe
tonnage movement for the past month
amounted to five vessels which repii-
tred 7353 tons against six vae!s of
10,447 tns in the corresponding: month
of last year, The total movement for the

The acts that BM n do shall live after

worse. The biawliug or sneaking cat

the greater scoundrel. Ho has no stand

through t lie favor of this old hero, but
BO Sooner were their uds served than

robbing him of the Kwer by which lie
had bnuight to them position and rich
es. The private character of these men
discloses the fact that those who re
ceived these favors have been all their
lives most insincere in their friendships.
It was not a case where they feared the
General's power rather than the man,
for they despised ln.th. Notwithstand
ing all this the General wanted to go to
his grave in cace with all men, and a
short time since he gave it out that he
forgave all Lis enemies. Seizing on this
declaration these men came from their
foul hiding places and legged forgive
ness. Not one of them ever bad the
dignity .of an honorable combutani
enough to ask the ' ;eneial' fargieness;
they waited until he had done the work
f-r them. Whilst they gloried in theii
cate-e anil in his downfall, they in after
years hoped for an occasion to wipe out
to some extent a; least tbe public con
d -uination of their acts, and when the
time came to seek this pardon without
a murmur, as meekly as convicts do

for it. What a j.arody on sii.ceiity !
Sad this tiht been among honorable
combatants if would have been differ

ticipants on either ground fitted for re
spectful recognition at anytime. How
humiliating in the light of theve facts
it is for old settler-? to witness the ef
forts of these men now to praise this
former object of their hate. One of
th im puts forth an eulogy in a leading
newspaper. His quotations are well
enough in th'-ii way, as usual, but it
Heetns wrong to choose them to mask
the inward convict i-ns of the man who
copied them. Hail it een written by
an unknown en it would have been
regarded as a fair but net a remarkable
production ; hut knowing the author it
bears on its face an attempt only to
render the blood 8K)ts of the old assault
more dim. Others stood by the grave
and there performed their part in a
painful attitude,, a ing, as it were, "We
came not to ptaitje Ctesar, but to bury
him, though our words are as flattery."
Alexander showed how much he re
Cted honorable -Warfare in his bat
' - s. When the wif ? of Darius and
her daughters were taken prisoners by
Alexander's srmv, the wife of Darius
ent a ni"-- -nger to Alexander to know
if husband was a prisoner, and if
o w uid he Ik; put to death. Alex
;. crw nt her his answer, "that Darius
tn n a prtsonety.ne had escaped from
to ! su-rs; but were he a prisoner
no h roa tWuJd befall him. I came to
eonq-er empires, not to destroy adver
saries." And when Alexander was
asked to give the enemy battle in the
night, when the darkness would give
him an advantage, he said no, and
added those words which made his name
famous, "I will not steal a victory."
There was no time but Alexander could
have stood by the grave of Darius in
honor, and beloved. He had stolen no
victory, nor had he humiliated his ad
versary by a rr sort to brutish means.
G where they may, these men will
find, whether at the grave, or before the
public through the medium of the press,
Banquo's ghost, and will find, too, that
it will not down. Indeed, the acts that

We are in receipt of the following
affidavit of Mr. John M. Ayles of Ben
ton County an old and experienced
sailor. It is in reference to the harbor
and bar at Yaquina and will bo of
much interest to our readi rs.
copy affidavit.
STATE OF ORECJON, 1
County of Linn, j
1, John M. Ayles of Benton County
aforesaid being duly sworn mako oath
snd say as follows:
I was at Newport on Yaquina Bay
in Benton County on Monday the 1 1th,
day of April 1881, 1 found there the
Gmwul Wrijht, U. S. Government
tug-beat which came down to New
port from the sawmill at Oneatta some
six miles up the Bay.
Tho captain and two seamen of the
vessel had been drowned on the previous
Thutsday in attempting to cross in over
the bar in a heavy sea in a small bout.
Being well known to Mr. J. J. Polite
mus the Government Engineer in
I uirge of the harbor improvement
works at Yaquina be asked me to take
-barge of the vessel and to take her
out to tbe U. 8. Coast Survey Stesmer
Shubrick which was lying off the
lartsjr mouth waiting to deliver stores
tended for the harbor wotks.
I declined to take ckargo of the v s-
mjI unless h Mr. Pulhemus, went out
is pilot, us he wss so thoroughly ao-
ptainted with the bar. This he con
sented to and we left the wharf at
Xewioit aisjut 10 u'clock in the morn-
tg it huing then nearly high water.
There was not much sea. on tbe bar.
flie lead was hove, all the time that
Am wero nearing and crossing the bar.
The least water we got was twenty feet
out that only st one cast o( the lead.
Wo went out with perfect esse at
nil sp.-ed ahead the whole time and it
vas about twenty minutes from tbe
one we left the wharf at Newport till
we were over the bar.
We proceeded in company with the
'ftubrick to a po-itum about south -ast
of Cape Foul weather ami about
hree miles from the bar. Both vessels
anchored there snd the atoies intended
tor tbe works were transferred from
the .Shubrick to the General Wright.
We remained at anchor till b o'clock
and then proceeded to the mouth of
' he harbor to ascertain if it were prac
ticable to enter. Finding that it was,
Mr. Polhemus decided that he would
take the vessel in. It was now just
two hours flood with a good sea run
ning. The lead wss kept going the
whole time we were near or on the bar.
The costs were taken as rapidly as
possible and tbe water shoaled to twelve
feet at one cast only, deejiening again
immediately, and this cast wss taken in
the trough ol the ses.
Tho channel is clear and well
defined from any position aloft or
even from the deck of a moderately
high vessel. Tbe approach is easy and
the entrance safe for vessels of any
length not exceeding fifteen feet in
draught. On a smooth day a vessel
drawing seventeen feet could enter at
tbe top of high water.
I have had thirty five years expe
rience at ea as an officer and In com
mand. I commanded cliper ships on
long voyages for upwards of fifteen
years, and have had ten years experi
ence in steam vessels sailing across the
Atlantic, to the West Indies, and Gulf
of Mexico, and also through the Straits
f Magellan and thence through
Smyth's channel entering and anchor
ing in all the smsll harbors in those
waters. 1 am also familiar with most
of tbe Coast harhots in Australia snd
New Zealand.
Speaking in general terms en the
basis of this exttence I consider tbe
harbor at Yaquina, even as it is, per
fectly safe for steamers and for sailing
ships with the aid of a tog not drawing
more water than above indicated to
enter at a projier time of title of eotirse
making due allowance for tbe weather.
The ofling is good and vessels having to
wait for the tide can either anchor or
stand off and on either to the noith or
south of ('ape Foulweatber.
I consider that the improvement
now in progress will begin almost at
once to deepen the water on the bar
and. on completion of the jetty or
breakwater I am confident that tbe
sand will be prematurely removed from
the bar, and that the rock now forming
its core, is very narrow, and easily re
moved. I base this opinion on the
rapid deepening of the water on each
mil'; oi ill' wuiihti ui iiiu imi,

While excavators were at work on
the new road leading from Paisley
to the new saw mill, in Lake county,
last week, they unearthed tho bones of
some monstrous beast, some of which
have been sent to a United States
paleontologist ' at Philadelphia. The
teeth of this animal are very large and
indicate that their possessor was a
monster. These molars are three or
four inches in length, by one and a
half in width and one in thickness.
As to the specie of an animal to which
the creature belonged, conjecture is

From recent observatiuiis t would
state that crops of grain, grass and
fruits in this county ttreexceidingy
large and promising at present, Al
though tho prices of wheat lire die
oouraging, yet the farmers have not
slackened their hands in sowing more
seres than ever before. The supply of
farm machinery is generally equal to
the demand here, less new miichiiinty
in sold to farmers this spring than com
mon, owing to Scarcity of money and
dread of debt. There is a general uu
easiness among all cIsmhi-s of produrtus
in thin Valley in ref.-i ! to tho linns
puliation of th present oU wheat and
the new crop. It is tine that thin V.il
ley is pretty well bottled up at present,
and tributary to in a mm th corputati.iiM
that control our commerce, but, in do
very nature of things, two or more out
lets to the ocean via Asion'i, feqninj
Bay, and Sioslaw, will bo ojiened Hp
for commerce la-foro long. Beyond
doubt a tirst rate route across the Ca
csd mountains for two rattroads oaa
te found, and one at least will soon he
used by the lleno filler, and 'ho Scotch
narrow gvuge coinpany, tieh toute
trill run, no doubt, by AHmur and ( 'or
vallis to Yaquina Bay. A great did
depends ujion the efTuctiial ch aring out
of the tmr at Yaquina Bay and there
is not the thadow of a doubt but that
the outlay of a quarter of a million dol
lara on that b u anil chsnnrl will make
a safe entranc for tho largest niwd
ocean vessels. Ami it is true that mote
than one thousand ships and barks can
tide nt anchor in the Yaquina hathor
in safety in time of any norm. I am
surprised that those thing are not more
BKken about and written about thau
they are. The aophi of the Valley
counties could well sfTord to flninh the
work on the bat, and build the railroad
from Albany to Newport, own and tun
it, and mako money by it.
It is folly for us to sit down in hv
sjair. We havo the best climute, soil,
water, timber and navigation in the
world. High tide succeed low tide.
We are in low tide now,but high tide
will succeed. Drouths, Hoods, hail sea
sons, wars and fires decreaae our sup
plies of brcadatHfTn. 1'ounusl plenty
in ail countries gives phtoa to srarcity.
It i.i better lor us that we have too
much whrat than too little.

The following extracts from a letter
received this week by Dr. W. V. Alex
ander from Hon. Jas. H. Slater will be
read with much interest by our citizens.
It ia dated Washington, April 17th,
snd after r furring to other mtttets,
says :
"Tbe future work uj-on tbe Yaquina
Bay drq lends tifKin the prossn't of rail
communication with the Valley. I have
seen or heard nothing lately of that
matter. The needs and demands of our
State art so large that it is very hard
to get anything near what we ought to
have. You are doubtless aware that
we get only 810,000 for Yaquina, mak
ing $50,000 in ail. This will make a
very good beginning, and if the railroad
is started up and takes defiuito -h ipr
there will be 00 ditliculty ia getting
further appropriations ; at least it will
I. ..U nil
be very much easier to get them. The

qtuna is not going to increase to any
appreciable extent until tho railroad is
a certainty. I am anxious to servo tbe
people of the Valley to my utmost, and
will do all in my power to keep the
work moving. I hope the road is to be
built, but the long delay in its assum
ing a definite shape and certainty at a
critical point of time is a little dis
couraging. Tbe dead-lock in the Senate continues
with no certainty of its being broken
soon. I think tbe Democrats are mak
ing some capital out of it. It is hard,
however, to judge accurately.
Very respectfully yours,
Jab. II. SLATEa."
The Portland Standard very perti
nently says : "There is a Catholic im
migration movement to Arkansas, an
English movement to Tennessee and
Virginia, a large number ef Scotch will
settle in Southern Missouri, while Ger
mans are pouring into South Carolina
and Texas but not a word of a foreign
colony for Oregon, thanks to our immi

TWINE BINDER
e a. -j:
ha receive I this week a sample
of the ahowe rl Crated machine
which is now on exhibition at
his warehouse.
He advocates the interests of
even- man wanting a Twine
Binder when he suggests that
he examine all the twine bin-
Ctfln carefully this year before
ordering, ami that he may save
much valuable time, work and
cxjense by a careful examina
tion of some of the contract
order he may be asked to sign,,
and that the safest way will be
to eon tract with agents known
to le rcsjxmsible, and who can
be easily found when wanted.
The McCoiiuick possesses the
following important advantages,
to which toe attention of the
farmers is especially directed.
FIUST.
The adjustability of dif
ferent lengths of grain to the
board without moving the bin
der forward or back, tecause the
grain is moved to the binder,
and not the binder to the srraiu.
SECOND.
Binders made with iion
frame of hollow iron pipe, are
not liable to warp oi opening in
our climate, as may be the esse
with wooden frame binders.
THIRD.
Binders with sloping ddeks
carrying grain much straighter
and discharging bundles with
more ease and less shattering
than amy other.
FOURTH.
A clean knife, as
strong
and simple as a razor blade, for
cutting off the Itound bundles
and never clogging with twine
lint
FIFTH
Binders adapted to and
made exprssly for the Harvester,
making the complete machine
much better balanced for hill
lands than some others.
The above Binder makes its
own bundles without attention
from the driver: binds flat
bundles all of same size no
matter how thin or thick grain
may be, but can be set for any
size bundles desired ; are made
expressly for twine and will not
bind with wire. Both Harves
ter and Binder are the very
latest Improved Machines made
for 1881.
