Certainly Interesting. "Regarding
the income tax there is one thing about
corporations making returns, which ap
pears not to be generally understood.
While individuals, whose gross income
does not exceed $3,500 are not required
to make returns.covporations must make
returns, no matter how small their in
come is. Corporations which fail to
make such returns, although they may
have no income, are liable to be put to a
great deal of trouble. This will probab
ly result in there beiug less corporations.
In order to limit their responsibility
firms often incorporate. Und r this la w it
looks as if even the Jiodaville Concert
Band wilt have to make a return of its
income.
A Eicn Assay. S. C. Smith, of Blue
River, has received a letter from Geo. A.
Dyson, of Brownsville, w ho is interested
in the Blue River mines, giving the re
turns from an sasay of ore taken from the
McCaulev mine in that district. The
letter states that the assav showed f 172.5HJ
of gold and 2 ounces of silver to the ton.
Mr. Smith states that a number of par
ties interested in mines have written him
regarding the prospects fcr beginning
work, there, and h looks for a lively time
there this season. Parties at Browns
ville and Oregon City will commence
work as soon as the snow disappears
ufficiently. Register.
Suit Fob Divoiick. Mrs. Jennie V.
Gaff yesterday filed suit against Dr. .V.
Gaff, in the state circuit court, charging
cruel and inhuman treatment on the part
of the doctor to swh extent aa to make her
life burdensome. This is the usual form of
complaint in a case like that of Mr. Gaff.
Tbey were married , in the year 1SSS, at
Shedd, Linn county. Oregon. There are
no children as tbe issue of the marriage.
Mrs. Gaff asks for one-third of her hus
band's property, which, under the laws of
this state she is entitled to receive. The
doctor is said to be the owner of several
lots, variously situated. Ortgonian.
New Bocxdam Lises.. Under the new
city charter now in the hand of the legis
lature, all property inside of the toad run
nine from the river north to Wm. Tea
cock's residence, thence east to the school
house road, and thence south to the old
ferry landing, but not including the roads,
will be a part of the city of Albany, and
hereafter on such property Mr Such will
pay Albany taxes.

The Gaff Case.
The sensation attendant open the firs

posed at tne nrst Diusn. .miss Mintii s
own statement to the cnect that the
doctors's treatment of her while they
where absent from the city was purely
and simply cf a platonic nature, has had
the tendency to ease the minds of his
friends, and divest him ot tbe odium or
iginally attached to his conduct, which,
however, to say the least, was very ill
advised. The farther fact, which is pleasant
for the trirl's sake, is that when-
ever the (Hoping couple halted while on
tneir night trom this cut ,they invariably
p&ssea as orouser ana sister, anu occup
ied separate apartments. This certainly
trees a gre&t way to establish the puritv
of Miss Smith's character, and also exon
erate the doctor from such charges as
adultery Xr seduction.
borne prominent lawyers tclav ex
pressed the conviction that Dr. Gaff can
not be held on the charge of kidnaping
nnder the provisions of the statutes. He
did not forcibly seize or inveigle Miss
smith: nor did be confine or imprison
her against her will ; nor did he forcibly
and secretly take her out of the state,
which offenses constitute the crime of
kidnapping.
A gentleman who claims to he tamuiar
with the case, said today tliat if it were
necessary Dr. G ff might be able to prove
that it was not he that was infatuated
with the girl, but that he merely . acted
in the interest of another, with whom
Miss Smith was in love. Telegram.

.Old Lisx Good Esoioh. The Scio
Press sensibly says: "Linn county is
not a uad county, after all, to live in,
with taxes at 14 mills. If you will only
think of taxes ranging from 20 to 30
mills in other counties, he is apt to feel
oeucr satisned with old Linn's manage
ment." A couple BrounHvilh' men in
the city good naturedly remarked that
Linn was a pretty good county after all.
The citizens of tliat city as much as they

A NEBRASKA LETTER.

private letter acknowledging the same
and the following for publication :

drought stricken part of the U. S. but
pen can hardly picture it. For the last
two years there has only leen raised a
half crop, while last year it was a total
failure, thereby reducing these neonle to
the verge of starvation, and if it had not
been for the hem of fnenda abroad it
surely would have come to pass. It is
estimated out of 21,000 inhabitants then

i iuc uiiiiT tiay i wo laouina i;ay men
were rtishing to Salem to secure a me
morial asking the war department to
issue an order preventing the construe'
Hon of a groin into the channel at the
bay, with the innunendo that it was be
ing done to kill the Bav. Ko it looked.
Tho Dkmocbat desiring to give loth
shies of the matter, which the public is
always entitled to, hag secured the fol
lowing version of the reasons for con
structing the groin from a source we are
not privileged to divulge:
Nkwpobt, Feb. 14, ll'. 1st. As to
the groin now bcini? built out from tho
south jetty, at a oint near what is now
and always has U-en shoal water, and
over a stretch of sand that no vessel up
to date has willingly crossed or gone
near, I w ill state that it is not being
milt for the purpose of killint? Yamuna
Bay. After constant study, cxtendincr
over a period of nearly two years, the
oinifrs in ciiarge oi tins work
leeided to build this groin for the wir-
ose of remedying a defect in the chan
nel that had always existed here, and
which during the last two years has be
come worm-, town; the inner bar. I
may stale right here, it was expected
thnt this verv bur would form. Imhiiw
of the converging Jetties, but it was well
anown now to remedy it and therefore
this form was adopted as being the very
Uist for this phuv. This groin is off thf
lar and by contracting the distance at
his place to correspond with it at its
nd it w ill cut out this inner lr, this is
he sole object of the groins and it in a
well eftahhehed practice to acroimlih
this class of remedies.
In regard to the opinion of Yamirta
Bay peotde. I may mat thai the citv
council of Newport held a meeting and
sent a committee to halein on this sub
ject, while tlie meeting was in session.
and during all tliat day and at that time
the engineer was in liis office to give
them an the information in Ins posers-
sion, but it is evident thev did not de
sire it as they did not call upon or send
for him, he also offered to forward at
once any communication they cared to
make direct, but they did not accept
tliis. None of these, w ho 1 understand
are opposed to this place, have visited
the groin, though several of Utem have
be'n liqUCtel to do so. Neither up to
the time of the meeting nor until it was
over and the comtuiUev for Salem had
left not any of those present saw a sin
gle map of the rliannc! at tliat point and
did noi know the ciiannel depth there.
nor do thev in reality know where the
channel is. As to the sand washing Into
he lay il is undoubtedly true tliat most
of if d-jc come from the south ; but not
one ounce of it remains in the bar as it
is carried out on the next ebb tide, so
much is this the caw that below a line
from the government dock at Newport to
the south government ilock and the end
of the jetties, over K3,OC0 cubic yards
of sand has l-t n scoured away since
these works were commenced, in other
words in that area there is ttay over
StW.OJO cubic yards more water than
there was in l.vt).
As to the l.jcati.m of the front ends jA
the jetties I can only state that the jet
ties werv locatol und the en-1 locate 1 by
as abSe a ll v of engineers as can be
gotten for tlua class of work. No point
of the work has been n-i.'iectt-l at the ex-
t-tse of the others, and as to the exten
sion of tlw south jettv Several hundred
feet, 1 will say that il vou will ni Capt.
Symona re-rt for !a-t year viiu
will wc that he recommended it for aOO
fert:but rinfortunatelv the Iwardof armv
r.gine-rs arc not enlowed with the wi-
loni tliat runs to wajde here and thought
lut to wait awhile and see test what
the nesent jetties would accomplish be
fore going haphazard into further move
ment of the lr s-award, ami pvrlia
on the reef. It may las remarked that
the lr s1calily went seawanl in front of
the jetties as long as the south jetty was
being t-uut and it lias gone SW feet since
lvJ but no such rate of movement was
noticed while the north jetty was Wing
built nor ia any noticed now".
Since the present engineer has been in
charge of this work, for the past two
years, he has given constant study night
and day to the problem, and certainly is
as well qualified to judge as tlie many
here, w ho don't know w hat a sub curren t
means. It certainly must seem to anv
fair minded person tliat engineers, ami I
am not seaking of a single individual,
but ail connected with this work, are as
caable of judging what will lie results
as those who never made a study of this
or any other harbor improvement.
it is tut just to say that some w ho
oppose the present plan are honest in
their opiwition, but I am comjnlled to
U-licve that outers have only personal
ends in their opposition and that the
true interest of laquina Bay will not he
found their only motive.
As to whv the north jetty was built
instead of extending the south jettv, it is
the tvlief of engineers that loth jetties
were necesarv, w bile the talent here
lifter, some U-lieving that only the
south jetty should have only been built
and others maintain that only the north
jetty has done any good. Only yester-1
lay an able sea captain asked if tlie en
tire work could have been accomplished
and lietter results secured by - a single
north jettv.
The groin is 12S0 feet from tlie end of
the jettv and 770 feet lack from the
Imov. the channel at the groin la eUU
feet wide before any rock ia reached and
it is over 15 feet below low water level at
the extreme north edge of the channel
the decivst water at the groin and in
front of it is lo feet and it never has lievn
more. The deepest water over which
the groin is built is 12 feet. ' No water or
sand passes through the south jetty at
any point. The distance between the
jetties at the end a 1023 feet and at this
groin it is 1600 feet. X.
