YAQUINA BAY EXAMINATION TRIP OF
SENATOR SLATER.
Last Friday morning, at 7 o'clock,
Senator Slater, Dr. J It. Bayley and
ye editor of the Gazsttk, in one of
SoL King'ubeat lirery rigs, slarted-for
Yaquina Bay. Private business pre
vented other members of the escort
committee from accompanying Mr.
Slater. The day was pleasantr and
although the roads were not equal to
summer season, yet we made good
time, arriving at Pioneer, 46 miles
distant, at 6 p. sr,; spending over an
Kour for dinner at the Summit post-
office Mr. Geo. L. Craiu's. Having
business at Elk City, and it not be
ing convenient for the steam launch
to go down that evening, we pro
cured' a small boat and an Indian to
tnke as down to Elk City some two
and half miles. Mr. M. W. Simpson,
P. M., heartily welcomed us, although
his family were absent from home,
Mr. S. soon proved himself an adept
m the culinary art, by preparing us
an excellent supper, to which all did
ample justice. After a pleasant chat,
beiner somewhat fatigued with the
trip, we all retired and were soon in
dreamland. At 4:45 o'clock, 'In the
morning, our genial host announced
breakfast ready and were soon
readv for it. After breakfast, the
steam launch, M T. Crow, Captain
and " Stormy" Jordan, engineer, was
at the wharf, and soon we were steam
ing down the Yaquina river toward
the-Bay, which is some 24 miles dis
tant, via river, but scarcely half that
distance on an air line. Mr. W, W
Davis, of Pioneer, accompanied us
also Mr. -E. A. Abbey of Elk City
-pn reaching Toledo, Mr. Win
Maokev also iotned our party.- Ar
riving at Ofieafcta, we found that Mr.
Allen Parker had preceded us to
Newport an-hour or sc.- We arrived
at Newport about half past ten
o'clock, and were cordially received
by numerous citizens who were on
the look out for us. We were soon
ha comfortable quarters at the Bay
View House, where P. M. Abbey,
the cental host, always makes his
"guests feel at borne.
Notwithstanding the afternoon
was very unpleasant, and we were
greeted with a drenching rain, the
citizens, generally, called upon Mr.
Slater, and made his visit though
brief, exceedingly pleasant. Mr. Sla
ter saw the bar and bay at its rough
est. Next morning the bay was
calm and smooth, but the breakers,
of course, rolled upon the bar, which,
notwithstanding the fearful storm at
sea, was comparatively quiet, and
Mr. S. thought any substantial craft
could have crossed without danger.
He seemed to Be very much, but
agreeably, surprised to find the en
trance to the harbor so favorable, and
the bay and river so large and deep.
Mr. Slater visited Yaquina-lighthouse,
and conversed freely with the citizens
of Newport and the Bay, also Capt.
Wass, keeper of the light at Foul
weather, and seemed delighted with
his visit to the Bay, despite the
stormy weather.
Imperative business calling him
back to Corvallis on Monday even
ing, so as to take Tuesday's train
from Albany to Portland,- we found
it necessary to-return to the head of
tide, Pioneer, Sunday afternoon, and
proceed part way upon our home
ward trip. We came out aa far as
Mr. M. L. Trapp'sr where we found
excellent accommodations. Next
morning at 6 o'clock we started over
the mountains, making Mr. Crain's
for dinner, and reached home at 6 p.
m. The day was quite stormy, but
we made the trip without accident
or serious inconvenience, Dr. Bayley
proving himself an expert reinsman
and very careful driver.
Mr. Slater registered at the Occi
dental Hotel, upon his return to the
city, and next morning was conveyed
to Albany, in a buggy, by Hon. Judge
Burnett, thus making hurried visit
to this part of the country. Mr. S.
exceedingly regretted'that his engage
ments would not allow him- time to
visit the Alsea country and Siletz
Indian reservation, which he greatly
desired to do. Hopes- to have more
time upon his return to Oregon, next
summer.
AGRICULTURE, JSUR ONLY HOPE.
Editok Gazette Dear Sir : We
have neither the time nor inclination
to annoy your readers- by offering
them captious nonsense for argument,
but desire to say, in a word, that to
look at the policy of protection, to
understand its bearings upon all in
terests, two qualifications are neces
sary, viz: common sense and honesty.
Under this egotism weremark : 1 here
are a few important landmarks which
stand out prominently in our history
the past fifteen or twenty years, and
which will force attention in the ad
justment of this question. First, that
in the financial erash-of 1873 neither
agriculture or labor had anything to
do with bringing the crash about.
Second, that notwithstanding-the
burdens placed upon agriculture, it
was the only golden spot visible in
those times, and, continuing its faith
ful toil to this day, has forced the
business interests of the country to a
position so marked, as to attract the
a '
attention of the civilized world.
The reasons which may be assigned
for this advent of a new prosperity are,
the industry and self denial of those
engaged in agriculture, and the boun
tiful crops secured. To this may be
added the misfortunes of those coun
tries which have failed to secure the
customary harvests, necessitating the
purchasing from us what the seasons
have denied them. Here, then, are
our
laid
rox acres of land la Union county yield
ed 500 boshels of oats this year.
Nnr telegraph poles have been put in
place of the old ones -along the railroad be
tween Portland and Cornelius.
Dr. Watts will shortly visit Pendleton
sad other points in Eastern Oregon for the
purpose of organizing Blue Ribbon clubs-
important facts to be noticed :
return to prosperity cannot be
to the superior legislation of " saga
cious statesmen f not to protection,
not to monied institutions, nor to the
iron interest, which has received mil
lions of bounty the past fifteen years,
but to the hard working and ever
toiling farmer, and kindred pursuits.
If then agriculture is the saving in
terest of the country? If all other
interests had to wait till the farmer
dragged them out of the troubles
they had brought about, is it rea
sonable that, with this great benefit,
it should also be called upon to pay
unjust tribute to either the iron or
any other interest ?
When the party which passed high
protective tariffs appeared before the
people and asked to be entrusted
with tbe government of the country,
among the promises pledged was,
that in the encouragement of the
business interests of the country, the
laboring man and agriculture are
especially mentioned; yet, in the
face of this,, not a mile of railroad
has been built in the country under
this tariff but has cost some $3,000
per mile more than was necessary,
and this amount has gone into the
pockets of iron men, bankers, bond
holders, &c, and this interest (agri
culture) which, without protection,
though promised it, has not only
pulled the country through its finan
cial embarrassments, but has had to
pay the tribute congress placed upon
it for the benefit of the iron interests.
We should not be doing justice to
our farmer friends, nor to the princi-
Eles we advocate, if we should rest
ere ; and suggest, that In the period
of history we have named, neither
agriculture nor free trade are respon
sible for black Fridays, for Jay Cooke
disasters, for the existence of Molly
Maguires, or Pittsburgh riots, nor
for the kindred disturbances occur
ring recently in a neighboring State.
It is through such dark days of gloom
and disaster, agriculture has sustained
and ever rescued the country. Shall
her shackles remain ? R.
THE SCHOOL FOND.
It appears to us that the question of our
irreducible fund is one that should occupy
the attention of the school teachers through
out the State. That there has been a very
large amount of school land sold ; that the
amount of funds reported on hand from
such sales is very small, we all know ; and
therefore, we think that the State Teachers1
Association should make it a part of their
duty to see where and how this fund is man
aged ; and if mismanaged, to "go after"
somebody. It is very generally believed
that there is a large amount of this fund in
about the same condition that the investi
gating committee appointed by the last Leg
islature found other matters of public in
terest. It will be remembered that Con
gress, immediately after our Legislature ap
propriated two hundred thousand dollars to
build the locks at Oregon City, raised the
question as to the right of the State to ap
propriate the funds arising from the sale of
the five hundred thousand acres of land
given by act of Congress to this State for
internal improvement, but was. by a provis
ion of our State Constitution, made a part
of the Common School fund, Congress con
senting thereto and which had been treat
ed as a part of the school fund by the State
up to the passage of the act creating the of
fice of State Register. It was claimed that
Congress had not consented to that provis
ion-by act of admitting the State into the
Union ; whereupon Congress, in order to
settle all questions upon this subject, pass
ed a joint resolution to prevent any further
division of the fund arising from the sale of
these binds. We now ask this question : If
this fund beloncs to the State School Fund.
by what right do the State authorities con
tinue to appropriate tne same tor otner pur
poses ? Resources of Oregon Washington
Pendleton Independent: Capt. Simmons
and Mr. Gray, two gentlemen recently from
England, were in town the first of the week,
the object of their visit being to take a look
at our country and select a suitable location
for settlement. These gentlemen inform us
that s large number of their countrymen
intend makias Oregon their future home.
They were very favorably impressed with
OREGON STATE FAIR.
Editor Gazette: Salem's gala week is
at hand and, notwithstanding adverse cir
cumstances we, as citizens, are doing our
level best to make every one happy and at
the same time line our pookets with the fil
thy lucre. It is a season- the average capi
tolian looks forward to, from one year to
another, in anticipation of making sufficient
money to eke out a livelihood during the
remainder of the calendar year, prepe rations
therefor are usually made on a grand scale.
This year's preparations were no exception
to the general rule, save in one respect,
they were, if any thing, more enlarged in
anticipation of a larger attendance of visi
tors from abroad. Merchants increased
their stocks, butchers their orders for beef,
hotel and restaurant proprietors for provis
ions, and bakers for flour. Dry goods mer
chants laid in an extra supply of calico, de
laines and ribbons in anticipation of an im
mense trade in women nxens. The house
keepers outside of those who had mercena
ry views had erected extra beds in hopes of
securing roomers made arrangements to
accommodate and entertain their friends
from abroad until there was scrarccly a house
in the city that showed no signs of expected
increase of numbers, and one and all pre.
pared to do the grand.
The indications of fair weather were anx
iously watched for and Martin's barometer
was eagerly scanned by parties directly and
indirectly interested in the success of the
Oregon State Fair. Each day's changes
were closely watched and the probabilities
solemnly discussed. Autumn's opening
month went out in a storm, which, by the
weather wise, was considered a harbinger of
good, and nearly every one prophesied good
weather for the fair. The vanes on the
church steeples were carefully watched and
a shade of disappointment crept across the
face of the manor born Webfoot as he no
ticed a continuance of a south wind, and
the barometer's predictions for fair weather
were accepted with no little degree of un
certainty. Wednesday was advertised as
the opening day and thousands, no doubt,
arose from their beds and looked to
which way the wind was blowing, and like
us regretted to find that it still remained in
the south where we realized only too well
it would hasten clouds and rainstorms. In
spite, however, of tbese indications we kept
our courage up and hoped for the best. A
visit to the grounds on the day in question
disclosed an activity thereabouts that was
encouraging, to say the least. A large num
ber of campers were already there, and as
it remained cloudy, without ram, those in
attendance were in comparatively good spir
its and matters looked decidedly encourag
ing. The display of live stock was some
what meagre as was also the exhibition of
articles in the new pavillion. A word in
regard to this bitter improvement before we
go further. The new building, although
hurriedly constructed and necessarily incom
plete in elegance of finish, is nevertheless
an immense improvement on the old one and
is calculated to meet a want long felt by ex
hibitors who have heretofore been crowded
into narrow quarters and compelled to take
whatever was offered them. Under the
commodious roof of the new structure,
however, matters are far different. Every
thing is arranged with an eye single to the
comfort and convenience of exhibitors and
lookers on. It is, in fact, a monument to
the energy and enterprise of that indefatiga
ble worker, E M. Waite, Esq., Secretary
of the Society, to whom is due the credit of
carrying it forward to a successful termina
tion, aided by the liberal contributions of
the citizens of Salem.
We notice, by the way, that the Pacific
Christian Advocate, a religious journal of
Portland, recently contained an unwarrant
able and no less contemptible attack on the
managers generally, and Mr. Waite in par
ticular, charging them with wilfully squan
denng the Societiy funds, conniving with
the gamblers in robbing the dear people,
etc., etc., to an infinately disgusting extent.
The source of the attack is alone sufficient
to condemn it, without its object of attack
having the hearty endorsement of the socie
ty and the hearty co-operation of the public.
We are pleased to note the appointment of
a committee to investigate these charges and
we doubt not that our old friend Waite will
pass through the fiery ordeal unscathed.
Outside of the races there was little to
interest or entertain on the first or second
day and of them we can give but an outline
naming conditions, entries, winning horse
and time. Tbe first race took place on
Tuesday last it being a single mile dash
for a purse of $160. Entries Mattie Glade,
Sixty Seven, Jungs, Popeye, Sixty Six,
May flower, Olo and Sank Owen. Won
by May Flower. In the trotting race, mile
heats three in five for double teams for pre
mium of 9250, the entries were Reed's Par-
rott and Pedro; Kenndy's Bellflower and
Katie Synch and Wisner's Nellie Patchen
and Lady Fashin. Won by Parrott and
Pedro. Time 2:40. This, with a glance at
the grounds, will embrace all of interest to-
be noted on the two firs days.
The pavilion is fast filling up and embraces
a confused mass of products home and for
eign. Among those- of the former class we
wouid mention tbe magnificent display of
harness, saddlery and leather, by the Capi
tol Leather Manufacunng Company of this
city, whose shops are located at the peni
tentiary. They are entering into a lively
wmjKuuuu whb ouisiae trade and are, we
are pleased to announce, meeting with en
couragement in their efforts to supply the
market with home made goods. Abell, of
rortland, appears to have full sway in the
photographic line and his display is a silent
but expressive endorsement of his skill as
an artist. Pf under is on hand, represented
by Harry McCormick, and the Oregon Bood
Purifier is gaining an enviable reputation as
is shown by the crowd that continually
warms about his stand. Musical honors
are apparently about equally divided be
tween Prentice, of Portland and Gardner
Bros., of this city, the rival firms vicing
with each other in furnishing first-class vo
cal and instrumental music for the
Med multitude. Beck, the proprietor of

which have recently caused business distress

our town and the surrounding country andl Fioneer sportsman's emporium at Port-

his hrearms especially attracting attention.
Henley's Oregon Kitney Tea occupies a con
spumous place and excites no little interest.
several candy stands display their tempting
stock in trade and appear to be doing a nice
little business. The press reporters quar

That there are tricks in all trades but ours,
we are more than ever firmly convinced as
we casually contemplate our suiroundings.

The receipts at the gates on the first two
days aggregated about $1,400. The third
day of the fair, which was Friday, showed
an improvement in all departments, although
lowering clouds kept many away, and old
Sol's benign face, as it peered forth occasion
ally, failed to dispel the gloomy predictions
occasioned by the still prevailng south wind.
The various department clerks have been

a proviso by the way that it is well enough
to guard against. The campers this morn
ing look somewhat demoralized. Their
abodes at best are far from comfortable and
the rain drops festively sporting in odd cor
ners and too oiten investigating me mysier
ies of the familv circle, are apt to breed dis
content and cause campers out to wish they
had never heard of such a thing as an Ore
gon State Fair. Contemplate, if you can,
the inconveniences of the situation. They
retire at night weary and worn out, for
hours, perhaps, court Morpneus, in vain.
A perfect pandemonian of noises reign su
preme outside and it is not until the early
morning hours arrive that they can close
their eyes in undisturbed sleep. Meanwhile
the constant patter, patter of the rain on
the roof sounds aught but pleasant to ears
refined or otherwise. Soon a monstrous
drop works its way through the crevices
and falling hits the old man plump on the
end of his rum colored proboscis. He starts
up and rips out an oath which, in turn,
rouses the old lady who in rolling over gives
the young one a dig in the ribs and it sends
up a velL The older children hear the hub
bub and they awoke to find the bed clothes
saturated with rain and themselves almost
frozen. Then they commence grumbling
and the dog sets up a yelp, which others in
the camp take up, until tne comoineu ciat
ter sets the horses to neighing and a dis
heartened mule takes up the refrain and sets
things up lively until the inmates of every
camp in the neighborhood are fully aroused
and further sleep is out the question. The
women folks busy themselves in covering
up, and thus protecting the edibles
from the inclemency, while -the old man
makes himself tenerallv disagreeable in find
ing fault with everybody in general and the
weatner ciertt in particular. jiscuz taming,
beyond a doubt, that sleeping is a thing of
the past the old brute finally hustles out
and endeavors to kindle up a fire. The wood
is wet, the matches are wet and the devil is
to pay generally. Securing a few live coals,
from a less unfortunate neighbor, he blows
them into a flame and at the same time blows
the old woman up for ever sanctioning the
idea of camping out. Breakfast is finally
ready, and such a breakfast. 1 dare not
even attempt a descrption of it. Suffice to
say that having eaten it everybody is crosser
than ever and they all start out to see the
sights in a mood anything but enviable in
its general character. This, however, is
but the gloomy side of the picture which a
few hours sunshine wdl dispel and create the
utmost harmony and contentment in a here
tofore utterly disorganized family. The
pictures are not overdrawn. In fact, I too
well know I've failed almost ignominiously
in depicting the miseries of a camp on the
fair ground during the rainy weather.
Friday's races were of an interesting char
acter ; the first being a running race, mile
heats, best 3 in 5 for a purse of $500 ; $400
to the first and $100 to the second horse, the
entries being as follows : Allen's 3 Cs, Win
ters, by Hodges ; Georgia A, by Porter, and
Haidee, by Miller & Bybee. Georgia A
took the first two heats, and Winters the
hut three. Best time, 1 :50. This proved
the prettiest race of the week, on the result
of which considerable money changed hands,
Georgia A 'having been first choice in tbe
pools. Winters is a Walla horse and of
good bottom. In the trotting race, mile
heats, 3 in 5, Parrott, Patchen and Faus
tina were named Parrott winning ; best
time, 2:30.
The gate receipts on Saturday amounted
to something over $1,000. A terrific rain
storm prevailed in the afternoon, which
drove people into the pavilion, where the
time was pleasantly spent in viewing- the
sights, meeting and conversing with old
friends and listening to the music emanating
trom the rival piano firms.
In the way of amusements, we have Ma-
guire's dramatic troupe, at Reed's opera
house ; Cleave's troupe, at armory hall ;
Hill's variety troupe, on the ground, as well
as the double-headed woman. This latter
has proved an attractive card, the tent being
well filled atf all times when open. She is,
indeed, a curiosity, and the entertainment
is one well worthy of patronage. She is
about 2s years ol age, some a feet in night
with two well formed heads : four arms.
four legs and but one body. The two heads
converse on different subjects, sing two dif
ferent airs and, to all intents and purposes,
are separate and distinct. When eating, the
two minds are alike, and at the same instant
sick up the same article of food. Holding
one in conversation and permitting the other
to eat, the appetites ot both will be satisfied.
She dances iigs, waltzes, etc., -and - is appa
rently intelligent. But' time' and space

It is no use for an eastern man to
try to tell a big story when there is a
western man about. Causeur has
tried it and got beaten, clean out of
sight. He thought he could spin a
yarn that would test any one s cred
ulity, but he always found that a
western man could go him one better.
