The Oregonian received the following
Washington, Feb. 12. Acting Secre
tary Melklejohn today approved the pro
ject for the improvement of Yaquina bay,

graphed to Lieutenant Potter, of the en
gineer office at Portland, in charge of the
district, to ijiinediately begin prepara
tion for the detailed plans and specifica
tions which will be advertised as soon as

er, and further estimates will be submit
ted, but meantime, the contracts will be
entered into.

pleased tonight over the success in secur
ing tavorable action upon the Yaquina
improvement by the wai department.
He has been assisted in this work bv
enator McBride and Representative
Ellis, who have united in urging that the
contract be made and the improvement
commenced. Acting Secretary Melkele
John told Representative Tongue several
days ago that the order would be made,
and that the only reason for holding the
matter np has been on account of the
lack of funds in the treasury.

many of the old uioneera whose namea
appeared tn these records. I wilt now
give you the sv.y history of Linn coun-
ty, as snown by the records on file in
the clerk's oilier.
The first session of what they called
probate court met "at the school house
on tha Calapooia" on Dec. 11, 1849. Tr.e
county government was organized at
that time by John McCoy, acting as jus
tice of tbe peace, swearing in Win. 61c
Caw as clerk of the court. Clerk Mc
Caw then administered tbe oath of ollioe
:o the following persons, who bad been
chosen by tbe people at an election held
a short time prior:
Probate judges, John McCoy and A.
Kirk.
Sheriff, Isaac Ilutchins.
Assessor, IS. D. Jack.
Treasurer, John Bateman.
School commissioner, II. H. Spauld
ing Jue'jcoof the peace, James Hill
Bonds were given by all of these offi
cers and the assessor waa instructed to
assess tbe coint and make returns as
soon as possible. Court then adjourned
to meet at A. Kirk's, wben tbe assessor
waa ready to report. The records do not
show how, or when, or wbere, the elec
tion was held. What they called the
"probate court" ia now tbe commission
ers cojrt and probite court. It was
composed of two probate judges.
The nexf meeting of court waa held at
A. Kirk's Brownsville) on May 22, 1S50,
with Loth judges present Tbe firs,
tbiog done was to l.cense S. Miller to
ran a ferry on the Santiam. Tbe aeseteor
tho made bis returns which showed
tbe taxable property in the county al
that time to be $3)6.73.2. Tbe levy was
waa placed at 33 mills, a figure that
seems rather steep. The cost of the a
aeaemeet was $205.75. Nothing seems
to bave been done toward collecting
tbeee taxes onlil after the next election
At this same meeting the court laid off
the county into precincts, and ordered a
Soeral election to be beld on the first
onday in June of that year IS!). Can
soma old pioneer tell why this election
was ordered so soon after the one that
occurred ia tbe fall previous?
On Jnnwll, IU, court met and re
ceived and counted the election returns,
and certificate of election were issued
to the successful parties. Three probate
iodgea were elected at this time, John
McCoy, A Kirk and Jas Curl, but the
latter declined to accep the office. Oth
ers failed to qtuHfyon account of the
California gold excitement, and anotrer
elsc'.ion to fill vacancies was called lor
August 3rd .
After Ibis election the o'E.-ers were aa
to! lows:
Probata judge, John McCoy, A. Kirk
and lobn A. Dunlap.
(Jlerk, i m AlcUaw.
Sheriff, Isaac Hotcbloa.
Treasurer, T. A. Bigg.
About this lime A. Kirk resigned aa
probata judge and waa appointed con
stable, to serve foe two vear j Toe court
then ordered another election lor or
23rd. to fill this vacancy. This election
malted in the choice ofO. If. Beber,
who was sworn ia oo Dec. 2. I&jO
Oo ovembtr Bth, ISM), an complaint
ot Wm Bex lord aod John Edmondson,
a writ was issued by the court f r toe
apprehension of Jacob L Coon, the
charge against him being "infinity "
Three daye afterwards the prisoner wa
brought betere the court, and alter bav
ing a fair and impartial trial, was found
guilty of being pvrtiaily insane, and waa
bound over to keep tha peace, under
bonds of 50J.
I will oot give any more ol the record
history at thistimr, bat will continue it
next week.
The dispote arising between Mr. Tern-
tlelon and Mr W heeler I think ran be
settled withoot much trouble. The-e
mast surely bar bees some proriaioaal
government in ibis coonv before I ;.
In fat in reading the coon records I
noticed several instance where claims
were paid that originated aodrr provis
ional government prior io this dace. I
bave oo doubt there was an election held
in this manly io 1S4. jat as is stated
by Mr. Wheeler, but there seems to be
no records of it noaln existence.
In tba records it say the first session
ot court waa beld at tbe school bouse
on tbe Calapooia " It don't say "al a
school boose, so there mat bare been
only one at that time. It was not at
Brownsville, for tha second eeeeion or
court waa beld at Kirks, and Browns-
villa ia partly located on Kirks original
claim. Can some old pi 'neer ted ns
where tbe school bouse was?
Of the first officers of the county, we
believe all are dead with tbe exception
of John Bateman, who still reeide on
h'.a donation laod claim on the la'apooia
below Brownsville.
