TUESEAPOET POE CEKTKAl OKEOOX.
Mil. Editor : The recent survey of Ya
quina bar was ordered by the Board of U.
3. Engineers having the duty of locating the
Harlor of Refuge. And though the Ya
quina may net be selected as the future site
of that important FOk, the surrey itself is
of the greatest consequence to Central Or
egon. The bar, or obstruction, was found
to consist of a reef, some 150 yards across,
on which there is now, at low tide, eight
feet of watery 'with a tidal rise of NINE feet.
The water up to this reef, as apprached from
the sea, is from FIVE to EIGHT fathoms ; as
soon as the reef is passed, from thk.ee and
a halv to five fathoms is found, and this
depth is maintained for a distance of seven
miles up the Yaqnina bay, with a width of
from one-half to three-fourths of a mile.
By confining the water, that at present
spreads over this reef, and removing the
reef or obstruction, which is soft and shelly
rock, an average depth of at least thirty
feet can be obtained, at low tide. This,
on a rock bar, without a shifting sand spit
either north or south of the channel, makes
above the DalJes, and no tickets sold for
pointsrhigher than that place. Boats will
continue to make daily trips from Portland
to the Dalles aa long as the river remains
open." -' -
Should the weather continue cold,
of which there is now a fair proba
bility, the lower Columbia is liable
to close, also. Well, what of it ?
Just this : Eatem Oregon lias no
nutlet to market except via the upper
Columbia, and that is now closed for
the winter, ami that fair portion of
om Stato is effectually " bottled,' so
far as communication with the out
side world is concerned. With the
closing of the lower Columbia, which
has frequently occurred, and is liable
to occur every winter, the entire
State of Oregon is in the same con
dition, and the loss and damage to
the commerce of the State, by such a
misfortune, cannot be computed in
dollars aud cents. Such a casnalty
seriously affects every business man,
and every commercial interest of the
State.
The thoughtful, far seeing busi
ness man Would naturally inquire, is
there no remedy for this great evil ?
The building of the North Pacific,
or any number of raifro&dij to Port
land, wilt not remedy the evil, as
Portland is the greatest sufferer by
tTfe closing of the lower Columbia, and
has been frequently " bottled" from
two to four weekB, at a time, if our
memory serves us correctly. In this
extremity, we mnst look for another
outlet to the sea, free from sand bars,
and ice blockades. Lieut. Chase.s
survey, of 1808, demonstrated that
within .sixty miles of-Corvallis, oppo
site the very center of the great
Willamette valley, and, in a direct
line of a practicable passs in the
Cascade mountains, connecting East
ern Oregon with the Willamette val
ley; Nature had wisely opened a
practicable outlet to the sea, and pro
vided one of the best harbors between
San Francisco and Puget Sonnd.
The recent examination of this har
bor, Yaqnina Bay, under the direc
tion of tlje breakwater engineers, has
fully corroborated Lieut. Chase's sur
vey. In faotyihe harbor and entrance
is even better than Chase made it.
In view of these FACTS, shall the
best interests of the entire State suf
fer for another, and a bqter and
more practicable ocean outlet, simply
because the Portland Board of Trade,
controlled by a few Shy-locks who
bave no higher aim than the " pound
of flesh," oppose it ? Vv
This is the whole matter, in a nut
shell, and the people of Oregon are,
at last, beginning to realize the fact;'
and also the further fact, that some
thing should be done for our relief at
tJie present session of Congress. A
small outlay, in comparison to the
grand results to be achieved, in re
moving obstructions at Yaqnina Bay,
would' give a permanent and com
modious harbor, easy of access at all
times, for tbe Hrfgesfc class of vessels
now reaching Portland. Not only
this, but it would pnt an end" to the
enormous expenses of pilotage, tow
age, lighterage, fcc, now so-burdensome
to every grain vessel arriving
at and departing from Portland!
' In view of the importance of the
vast interests involved in an addi
tional ocean outlet for the commerce
of this State, we feel confident that
every unprejudiced person, who stops
fbr a moment to consider the same,
in all its bearings, will agree with us,
that Yaqnina Bay should be immedi
ately improved. Within twelve
Byonthsafter a? suitable appropriation
is made for the improvement of this
harbor, which should have bee
made years ago the railroad wilF be
completed thither, and then the com
merce of Oregon will be forever free
from the iriconvemerrees, armoyanees,
and losses occasioned by ice-block-
on. the Columbia river.
The District Institute, held in this city,
this week, was a grand success, and crood
attendance. Full report of proceedings,
next week. . Rpoitid by Prof. Royal.
vantaga of' such a route, saving two hun
dred and TWiTNTT-oWE miles of distance
over the present route between San Fran
cisco and Portland, is so plain that argument
is unnecessary.
For awhile the Willamette valley was all
ablaze with enthusiasm regarding the possi
bility of Foulweather being selected as i
Harbor of Refuge; This desire came from
the urgent necessity of the valley having an
outlet on the coast not one hundred and
ten miles inland but a genuine seaport,
where the cars from the interior, and ships
fresh from the ocean could meet, and where
a transfer of freight could be made with one
handling, and only one, saving all the tin
necessary and expensive handling of grain,
to say nothing of the towage, pilotage, &c. ,
footing up a tax so large and burdensome
upon the farmer as to seriously affect the
general prosperity of the State. For, be it
remembered, the farming community pay all
expenses of transportation, of whatever
nature.
The 40c per ton paid the Oregon Transfer
Company, to take your wheat, or other pro
duce, from the east side of the Willamette
to the wharves in Portland ; the pilotage
and towage across the Columbia bar, in and
out ; pilotage and towage np and down the
Willamette and Columbia rivers, and other
incidental expenses, comes out of the hard
earnings of the farmers of Central Oregon
And so, is added a proportionate tax on all
imports, of whatever kind, thus aggregat
ing an immense sum an undisguised tax
upon the energy ano industry of the people.
If wo can have another port to which ships
can come, competition in freights is possible,
even probable one thing that has been
greatly needed this year. A scarcity of ves
sels seeking charter, places the shipper in a
false position, as freights advance, prices of
wheat decline, ic. .
With an appropriation to improve Yaqui
na entrance, a .railroad will soon connect
Central Oregon with a nearci and better
market a seaport, the route to which never
freezes up ; a port only fopr hundred and
eighty MILES from the queen city' of the
Pacilic. Thirty-six hours will be saved
over the present circuitous line of travel
via the Columbia river, and the disagreea
ble effects, always dreaded, of a long and
usually rough bar, witl be avoided, an .item
the traveling public would appreciate.
All these advantages can be realized, by
urging our claims on the present Congress.
Every man of influence ; every paper ; eve
ry persori having a thing to buy or sell,
should add his mite, by letter or word, of
encouragement, to our Senators and Repre
sentatives. Remember that the determined
efforts of the people of Coos Bay secured
an appropriation to improve a harbor bene
fitting the commerce of only half of one
county, and that in the face of no positive
recommendation of the engineer who survey
ed the bar and reported oa the necessities
of the improvement. Our report cannot be
adverse. The surroundings are most favor
aide to all minds understanding the subject.
We have only to unite, and make a strong,
determined demand for this important work,
which so deeply interests the central part
of Oregon Polk, Benton,. Marion, Linn
and Lane counties, and that portion of
Oregon lying east of us, through which the
Willamette Valley and Coast Railroad Com
pany propose to finally carry their road.
I now come to the question, shall wehavc
another route to the sea ? A route, short,
cheap, and certain. A line, by reason of
its economy in operating, that will tend
even to lower the rates of present lines of
transportation, and afford effective, perma
nent competition sure to produce the re
sults, desired and add immensely to the
wealth of the entire State. Rialto.

THE CHOLERA IN JAPAN.
The Paris Temjxt gives some par
ticulars of the ravages of cholera in
Japan. The epidemic appeared last
April in the district of Ehime, where
the tombs of soldiers who fell vic
tims to it in 1677 had been opened,
partly for religions rites and partly
for the more becoming interment of
men hastily buried during the war.
In a week forty-five out of sixty five
cases proved fatal. It extended to
other points, and at Osaka it is not
uncommon to see persons fall down
in the streets, struck by it. In July
it was reported at Tokio, the capitol,
- - 1 - TIT" 11
ana aiso ai i oKonama ana in some
western towns the epidemic assumed
formidable proportions. Up-to Aug.
17 the total number of cases Of chol
era throughout Japan was 76,&98, of
which 41,915 had proved fatal, 9,78ft
had recovered, and the remainder
were still under treatment- TJn to
the end of September tho number
had reached 100,000. The Govern
raent has exerted itself to the utmost
by establishing hospitals, forbidding
the sale f unripe fruit (which the
Japanese ate accustomed to eat), and
quarantine regulations. These last
were disregarded by foreign, vessels,
and the result is that the cholera has
extesded everywhere, so- that there
are no longer quarantines lazzarettos.

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMWTTEE.
The above committee met at the
Arlington hotel, Washington city, on
the 17th inst., for the purpose of
choosing a chairman in the place of
the late Senator Chandler, and of fix
ing the time and place for holding
the next national convention of the
party. Hon. II. W. Scott, of the
Oregon!: n, represented Oregon in
that committee.
After transacting the usual busi
ness, Donald Cameron, of Pennsyl
vania, was elected permanent chair
man. The vote standing, Cameron,
of Pennsylvania, 22 ; Averill, of
Minnesota, 1 9 ; Wank, 1. The time
for holding the next convention was
fixed for Wednesday, June 3d, 1880,
and Chicago, as the place.
Thos. B. Keogh, of North Caro
lina, was chosen secretary of the lle
publican national committee, in place
of McCormick, resigned. The action
of the committee, it is claimed by
some, indicates that the committee is
nearly equally divided in its prefer
enccs for Grant and Blaine, leaving
Sherman in tho back ground. No
action was taken on the request of
the California state committee for the
retirement of Gorham, members of
the committee being influenced part
ly by their views of political policy,
and partly on personal friendship for
Gorham.
FROM DOUGLAS COUNTY.
Ed. Gazette : I wish to express in this
letter to you, my respect for the Gazette
for I do consider it one of the purest and
best secular county papers in the state, and
it always receives a welcome in my house
Well, I have been in the saddle again,
from Drain's to Elkton, thence to Scotts-
burg.
Scottaburg is a small village of about fifty
inhabitants. It has two stores, one saloon,
a tavern, warehouse and a grist mill. It
presents but little business or enterprise.
There is no church building or church or
ganization in it. There is, however, an old,
dilapidated school house. This place is at
the head of tide, on the Umpqua bay
There is no wagon road from here to the
mouth, nor can there be one. The shore is
lined with rugged mountains, towering up
almost perpendicular, from one to two thou
sand feet high. I took steamer passage here
for Gardiner, 20 miles distant. The scenery
all the way is wild and romantic.
Gardiner is a village of about one hun
dred and fifty inhabitants. It boasts of two
stores, four saloon8, but no church bnilding
or organization. The school house serves
for a chuch building. It has a Masonic hall
over the school room. This is a lumbering
town : there are two large sawmills here,
and nearly all the inhabitants are interested
in them. These mills do an immense busi
ness. This place is ten miles above the
mouth of the bay. From here I started for
home again, for a heavy storm of rain made
me apprehensive about high water. I sue
ceeded in 'reaching Elkton, and there my
progress was intercepted by the flood having
carried away all the bridges on my route,
two of which must have cost Douglas couu
ty from six to eight thousand dollars.
The roads are torn to pieces, and the
bridges gone, all over this country, so that
travel, except by railroad is suspended
My only chance, therefore to get home, was
to secure a guide to take me across the moun
tain trail to the railroad. We started at
daylight, and for three hours it was up
and down one steep spur after another.
Then we started up the steepest spur of the
Calipooia mountains. A very conquerable
part of the way we could not ride. I would
start my pony up the trail, having hold of
his halter and tail, (now, Mr. Editor, don't
laugh, for it was a serious matter to me),
and in this manner we got to the top of
the mountain. After traveling, as we
thought, about twenty miles, we commenced
the descent, and this was more tedious,
hard and dangerous than the ascent. But
we finally reached the railroad, and found
ourselves about nine miles from Drain's ;
but our way was then an open road, aud we
brought up at Drain's by night.
In Drain's half of the families had to
move out of their houses, the flood was so
high in Pass creek. So you see that others
have had trouble besides the poor wayfarer.

left with executive committee.
Ueo. I-lowum, ot Marion county, was
elected chief marshal, and Alfred Luel
ling, of Clackamas county, as marshal
of pavilion. A committee of ten ladies
were appointed to decorate the pavilion ami
arrange articles tor exhibition.
Division S. Fine aits was materially

ets. All life members wearing them, to
pass in and out at gates without checks oi
tickets.
A loan of any sum from $7,000 to $12,000
or so much as might be necessary to redeem
all outstanding debts of tho society, was
tendered the board at 10 per cent. .er an
nuin, coupled with a proviso by which some
$500 or $600 could have been cleared for the
society through its acceptance ; but the
board declined the offer after a short discus
sion for the reasons : 1st, That those whi
had sold their warrants did so, expecting
they would not be paid under 12 months, or
at fair, October, I860 ; 2d. Uecause a mcin
ber of the board of 1879 had purchased more
or less of said warrants at a discount ; and
3d, Because deception would be charged by
those who suffered loss- by the sale of their
warrants. If no warrants had been sold,
the offer would have been accepted.
Superintendents were elected for all di
vissions and clasr.es.
The reports of the secretary and treasnrer
were read, and after an examination by the
executive committee, Messrs. Win. (iallo
way, of Yamhill county, Henry Miller, of
Multnomah countv. and Robert Mayo, of
Wasco county, who reported, on the second
day, as follows: " As far as our limited
time would permit, we have examined the
books and accounts, ot the secretary and
treasurer, with a comparison of the receipts
and expenditures, and find the duties of
those officers faithfully performed. "
Following is a summary of the scecreta
ry's report :

A resolution, prohibiting the insuing of
any license at Fair of 1880, for the sale of
lager beer, was passed by a strong vote, af
ter a lone; discussion. Jn order that the
general public may understand the reasons,
other than those of a moral nature which
induced this action tor the protection of the
Society, on the part of the Managers, it has
been thought best to make a statment.
No license for the sale of intoxicating
drinks, other than lager beer, was ever giv
en by the Society, though they have several
times refused from $1,000 $1,500 for the
privilege. Under the present Statute, the
Society can grant no exclusive privileges,
nor is there any law- to enforce its rights, or
compel an observance of its rules, in such
way as to make them immediately effective.
The abuse of the lager beer license in the
past two years, every officer of the Society
understands, and' it has at last come to be an
intolerable nuisance, as well as a matter of
gross injustice to those who have paid their
license promptly. The Society has for years
suffered from evils it has been powerless to
prevent, and has determined that, until a law
can be enacted which will afford it suitable
protection, no license for lager beer shall be
granted, nor shall any drinks of an intoxi
cating character be sold on the grounds. A
committee was appointed to prepare with
the advice and connsel of the best legal au
thority a bill for presentation at the ses
sion of the Legislature of 1880, giving suit
able protection to the Society in the enforce
ment of all its rules and regulations.

Hair Vigor j
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldiiess often
though not always cured. It checfte falling
of the hair immediately, and causes "a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of the
humors aud diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the sculp and
hair arc impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair,
The Vigor is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and M ill
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
- agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.
