state finances. The return of the
Treasurer shows that she has $3,360,

San Francisco Examiner, It is now
the best d liljr published on the coafet,
and to all Democrats who want a gocd
exKuent of their doctrines ami princi
ples we recommend it heartily.
Republicans do not think Arthur is
near so had a man as they had supposed.
Oonkling, too, is rising in their estima
tion, autl ht-tlwartism is gradually com
ing to the front and half-breeds are
either converted or forced to take back
seats.
All w'u are interested will take
due notice that what was known as
"Senate Bill No 83" at the iait session
of the Legislature will again be intro
duced at the next session, ard the
man whe opposes it will tj remembered
by the people.
The Portland prass ought not to be
so jealous of our new railroad. Kven
alter the completion of the Oregon Pa
ciue we will still have to go down there
once in awhile whenever we sell liq
uor to Indians, or dispose of whiskey
or topaceo without a license. Portland
will still have its mighty Board of Trade
and Judge Deadv a Court,
- Readers, look about you fur your
candidates for the Legislature. Don't
put off the selection of candidates for
thoae o fliers until the conventions as
semble next spriug. Look around von
and ascertain who can best attend to
the duties required of our legislators,
and remember that we want none who
can be purchased.
The SUvulard thinks that if CbngigaS
gives us the nccessry helps Yaquiua
Bay will yet become "one of the best
little harbors on the coast." "Bes
littld harbor" doesn't suit our people
yet; we want the Portland press to ad
mit a little more than that. At present
Yaquina Bay is just as good a harbor
as Portland, and skilled government
engineers tell us that by an outlay of
$340,000 twenty-four feet of water can
be had on the bar at low tide. If this
is what it takes to make "one of the
best little harbors on the Pacific Coast,"
we will have it at Yaquina Bay.
From the Portland Standard)
THE K ill. BO AD ASU YASjl ISA BAY.
"Tall oaks from little acorns glow,'
and if we are to believe one-half we
hear, and interpret in tbe usual way the
signs of the times, something very good
and big will spring from the unpreten
tious road that is now being rapidly
built between Corvaliis and Yaquina
Bay.
The greatest objection that is raised
to the success of this enterprise is the
allegation that deep-sea vessels can
never use Yaquina Bay for a harbor.
Oaeof the best arguments in refutation
of this is that a railroad is being built
there. Men who build railroads neces
sarily invest large sums of money, and
it is not the practice among such per
sons to run their line "from no where
to no place." The adaptability of Ya
quina Bay for a harbor must have been
thoroughly studied before any invest
ment of money was made in that direct
um, and as railroad managers ate gen
erally conceded to be among our most
intelligent men, it is nonsense to sup
Kwe that in this instance they
have "gone off Lalf-cocked," and know
not what they are doing. No one de
uies that Yaquina Bay needs improving,
but the enemies of the Oregon Pa
cific road maintain that it is not suscep
tible of improvement.
It was our pleasure when in Wash
ington te be present at a conference of
some thirty Senators and Congressmen
called together for the purpose of look
ing inte the claims of Yaquina Bay for
an appropriation for its improvement,
on which occasion maps, engineers re
pjrts, all kinds of estimates and argu
ment jijro and cum were thoroughly con
Werni, and it was the unanimous oiiin-
iou thao it sufficient money could be ob
tained from Uie Government a troxl
harbor could be made at tbe ocean ter
minus of the Oregon Pacific flail
road. Senator Grover, speaking in tbu
connection, said that he had no doubt
but what Yaquina Bay could be made
deep enough and safe enough fur ocean
steamers, but the difficulty would be to
get appropriations for it befure it was
connected witli tome such base of sup
ples as the Willamette valley.
Now that the road is fairly under
way, and large gangs of men employed
all along its line our Congressional dele
gates ean demand appropriations for
the improvement of Yaquina Bay with
every hope of obtaining a sum sufficient
to visibly change the appearance and
condition of things at the seaort and
make the harbor all that is necessary
for the wheat fleet that will be needed.
We have never entertained tbe fears,
held by some, regarding the hopeless
condition of" Yaquina Bay, and feel con
fiieut that wUh nccesnaryOongreasional
help one of the best little harbors on
the Pacific Coast will result.

lt!MKI OF Tit A IH .
There was another fluttering last
week in the Portland Hoard of Trade.
Dave Thompson, acting mayor of tin t
city, was crammed as usual on such oc
casions wiili i "few remark:!," as a pre
lude to the important part of tho per
formance. He waa euabled in rather
a clumsy style to rejreat his piec, con
sisting of the following emphatic ei.un
oiation: "Tho dredger, the dredger; tbe
dtedtmr." When Mr. Villard intimfi-
ted in a meaning way that he would not
build a bridge across the Willamette at
present, but would depend on ferry
boats at Kalatna to oatTf tho wlirst to
Tacoma, the Board assured Mm that
the drcdjjer was coming. This was in
substance a good pari of the interview
with the Board of Trade. The
Portland Board of Trade has for a long
time claimed to be the ornamental fig
ure in that city if not the moat useful.
If a resolution was needed to remove
the sand bar at Swan Island; the hogs
back, or at the mouth of the Columbia
river, this Board of 'Trade with becom
ing pride would furnish it. It possesses
and has from the first propelling iower
of John Phoenix's traiu of snails and
mud-turtles that plodded over the
route between the Mission Dorlores and
the city of San Francisco thirty years
ago.
The foimer or producer looks upon the
Board of Taade to be tbe conservator of
commerce. The factors in every indue
try do the same thing. But we allude
now to our producers. IT tho Bjard of
Trade at Portland waa what it should
be, there would be greater harmony
between the producer ami sliipjier
The Chicago Board of Trade regulates
tlit transportation interest of that
section of our country. And it takes
particular pains to we that the produ
cer is not robbed of his eapitd as wel
as labor. Before the crushing tariff
was I laced ou the hhoulders of our
farmers in the way of tonnage, Oregon
and Chicago did not usually differ in
the price of wheat, in those days a
are wanted to know was what wheat
was worth in Chicago. If it was a dol
lar there it was a dollar here. And
at this writing wheat in our stale should
be one dollar thirty, as well as it is in
Chicago. But e have noMT a Board
ef Trade, and it is stated SwUis of its
members ate the charter j-at iies with
oppressive figures to ciiuh our farmers.
Be this as it may, ic, is upH4ed in
great measure that we must endure this
evil as the Board of Trade is 'erlea
to correct it. Were the Chicago B -srd
ofTrade in Portland twelve niun'.hs
tbe commerce of onr state wo-dd be as
different aa daylight is to tlarku8.

With this Waited ornament at Poit'und
Wo have not even rivar facilities for
sending our away in bulk to say
nothing of the high tonnage. I'nder

Chicago to Liverpool wa tbi month

eleven cents fur wheat jxjr btisbei in
addition to transfer c'rarges in New
York, which are ttiunV. O i the third
of Oct-jber whett in Cbicag was
$1.43 and $1.45 in Nw York. On
the 8th there was but fjur cents dif
ference in wheat between Chicigo ar.d
New York. Mr. Yd laid is too
much of a gentleman to say to Portland
that you are behind t!e ag. That the
wheat market of the northwest should
be in Portland and your li .ir 1 of
Trade, like Chicago,should see that you
have cheap transportation t all the
market.; of the worbl and your bulletins
should be read daily in every market
as those of Chicago arc it par, B it Mr.
Vi'lard sees that the snail or mud tur
tle is not the carrying vehicle of tbe
commerce of the world, hence hois
going to Tacomj, and he will bring
ships to Tacoma, a thing that the I'jaid
of Trade Ought to do for Porttaud.
Mr. Villard smiles upon the B urd and !
tells it that Portland is to have tie
termini of C4KX) miles of railroad.
This is sufficient, and like Poes raven,
quoth the acting Mayor, ' the dre Iger,

It may probably be news to the
sage editor of the Telegram that the
United States Government has already
begun tbe work and spent the sum of
$50,000 on it. S if we don't raise a
cent we iil nob have to wait ' until
1931 for a beginning, The next Con
gress will no doubt give in an appro
priation,and as the ex tenses of continu
ing the work until that time is only
about $2000 per month, we can't see
anything ridiculous in Albany starting
her subscription list with 8292. Albany
has not yet Ijeen canvassed for subscrip
tions, and only a few have had an op
portunity of giving anything, but we
feel satisfied she will come forward
with her shari before it is needed. It
will probably not take more than $0000
from the wholo valley to carry on the
work until another appropriation is had.

We are now on the bar opposite St.
Helen, where we have laid several
hours. About 100 tons of freight is
being taken offend then we can drop
down to Astoria. We are out from
Portland over thirty-six hours already,
a pent 1 hours on a bar 1 mile below
Portland ; 2G hours on a bar at tbe
mouth of the Willamette, and are now
on this bar Sunday night. Hope to
get off in a few hours. The time is
spent as pleasantly as possible with
1! t 1 1
music run conversation, many oirsi-
nees men who have engagements are
nervous and restless. Such a state of
things cannot be healthy to commerce.

make it
Villard and party came down this
afternoon, aud found us just getting
ff the bar at the mouth ot tbe Will
smetle. They hitched on and amid
loud huzzas by the passengers on our
ship, assisted in that good work of pull
ing us off. We do hope to get to
Astoria to night or to-m or re w pass out
"on the rolling deep.
Tell Wallis Nash, Ki., and every
body else interested, to push forward
the Oregon Factne Railroad ami the
improvements of the bar at Yaqaiaa
liar. It is a necessity. This Col urn
bia river is to a large eitent a failure.
Let the good work go on to consumma
tion. Tha whole of the Willamette
Valley and Oregon need that work
We Lave cherished that since our ar

Wiignsus, in theprovidence of Cod
the circumhtances of the Presby
terian and United Presbyterian
churches of the city ot Albany
and many o iu r places in tbe United
.State, are such as to make a union of
such churches desirable, and, believing
with many others, that such a union
could be efficiently anil profitably ef
fected, 1 take pleasure in presenting the
following resolutions, as a basis of said
prospective union of said churches and
sincerely recommend them to the ear
nest and prayerful consideration of all
interested.
1 llandmd that all formalities and
means of worship that are common to
both churches shall its retained, subject
to revision and amendment, wtaen cir
cumstMrces shall our to necessitate any
change.
2 Jiemlcel, that the idea of "close
communion' is not congenial with the
life of Oirint, and that in the celebra
tion of the Kiicbarist, we invite all
t rve christians to participate.
'' Jtetohetl, that right of membership
of the chui cb shall not be douied to any
one, bceauH- of his connection witbjany
of the well known "secret societies."
4 lUwolced, that both instrumental
and vocal music shall lie employed by
the churches iu the w mliip of God,
and that exclusive choir singing dojs
net suhterve tbe best interest of the
church, therefore, it shall not be per
mitted. 5 Ile&tleeil. that a selection from tbe
scriptural Psalms be made and set to
appropriate music, to be used in tbe
devotional services of the church; pro
vided that nothing in the foregoing
shall be so construed a t to prevent any
person attending church elsewhere in
joining in the songs of praise.
Thinking that the union of these two
denominations would greatly advance
tha cause of ChrUt.'and believing that
it can be effected, I invite members of
both denominations l make public
their views on the subject. No harm
can possibly come from a discussion of
these questions and it may be ' pro
ductive of great good.

races st the Fair Ground, and it was
about the worst day we have bad lor
for two or three days aad the race track
wss in a terrible condition, but the
race were made up and were to coma
off rain or shine. In tho afternoon a
large crowd repaired to the grounds
and despite tbe bad weathsr remained
until tea evening. Tbe foot race be
tween Wick wire, of Rosebnrg, snd
( 'el well, of Albany, came off first and
resulted in victory for the former.
Wickwire wore spiked slippers and
managed to make his way through ths
mud all right, but Oolwell undertook
to go it barefooted and slipped badly
on the start and never recovered ths
lost ground. The purse for this race
was fOOO $300 put up by the backers
of each man.
L Next came the half-mile horse race,
free for all, for a purse of $75. An
entrance fee of $20 was charged for
each horse and the amount added to the
purse. Fonr horses entered "Honest
John" owned by Wm. Cleveland, of
Keeesurg; "Whalebone," owned by Z.
Stroud, of Benton county; ray
Comet," owned by Sydney Huston and
Sam Smead, ef Linn county, and "Little
Fred," owned by Wm. Kmerick, of
Albsny. "Mayflower," owned by
Scoggins, of Portland, came up, but ar
rived here too late to enter. The re
sult ef the race was thst "Gray Comet"
won the purse, earning out a hslf length
ahead of "Honest John," followed
closely by "Little Fred," aud "Whale
bone" behind. It was a pretty race
no jockeying, throw ing off or anything
of that kind, but each horse coming
right down to business snd running tor
"blood."
This race did not satisfy all parties,
so another race was made up and came
off laat Tuesday between "Honest
John," Msyflower" and "Gray Comet,"
for a purse of $75. It was a good day
and again there was a large crowd in
attendance. Twenty-eight pools were
sold, "Mayflower" being the decided
first choice, "Honest John" coming
next, and "Gray Comet" laat. The
race was close from ths very start, and
at the outcome "Honest John" won
over "Mayflower" by only half a length,
and the grey mare came out behind.
