OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COuriTY
THE HARBOR IMPROVEMENT AT YA
QUiNA BAY.
The present work at Yaquina Bay
has been progressing finely with but
an occasional Unimportant exception.
Engineer Polheftous is doinj a good
Work. The expense ot this underta
king is costing about five thousand
dollars per month. At this rate if
they have to depend only upon the
appropriation from Congress, the
the work will have to stop about the
middle of next October and wait un
til after the meeting of the next ses
sion ot Congress for want of money
to proteed with. There is hardly a
doubt but what the next session of
Congi ess will make another appro
priation, because Col. Gillespie has
already recommended in his last an
nual report that sixty thousand dol
lars be appropriated for this long
needed improvement.
We understand that M. C. George,
our present member of congress in
tends to ask that body and insist up
on their making an appropriation for
this purpose, an amount which will
be equal to the sum which the pres
ent Oregon Pacific railroad company
will have to pay ns duty upon their
steel rails already shipped and on
the way from England to he used in
the cor ' strut lion of their road, which
is about 6000 tons. The duty upon
this amount will aggregate about
$129,000.
We have strong Tcasors to hope
that the next appropriation will
amount to near the latter sum, as the
government will virtually have to
pay nothing, but simply in effect to
permit ihe amount of duty paid by
the railroad company to be used in
the construction of the works at Ya
quina Iay, which she can well af
ford, and it would only be an act of
justice for her to do so.
While the prospects in this regard
are abundantly hopeful yet an un
favorable feature is presented in the
fact that the present work will have
to stop so soon as about next Oct.
15th unless money is forthcoming
from some other source besides the
present appropriation; which will
result in much of the neccessary
things used in and about the work
becoming scattered and virtually de
stroyed, to replace them will require
time expense and delay. A plan is
suggested to relieve all of this diffi
culty in which the secretary of war
has kindly consented to permit the
present staff" of vorkrnen to continue
upon the improvement after the
present appropriation is exhausted in
the event money can be raised for
that purpose. Money being the great
thing wanting to permit this
improvement to steadily progress so
as to be finished at as early a time
as possible, and thus afford the neo.
pie a thorough and complete means
of direct competition in the way of
sending the products of Oregon to
the markets of the world, would it
not be the wisest thing, for the peo
ple of this- state and particularly
ihose of the Willamette valley to go
forward and systematically and
thoroughly work this matter up and
obtaiu from every person who is able
a small donation to go into a gener
al fund to be used in prosecuting this
improvement. It will only take a
small sum from each to raise $5000
per month for this purpose, until af
ter the next session of congress and
thus ke p the work steadily in prog
ress. '! he amount of money paid in
this way would be more than doublv
returned in the moving of a singie
crop. This is an important matter
to consider and the psople should
think a boot it quick and act soon.
GRAVELNG SECOND STREET.
There is no longer room for specu
lation in regard to the course the rail
road v, ill take when it is extended
beyond Roseburg. Already survey
orsare at work locating the road and
driving grade stakes, and as nearly
as we are able to find out, the course
as decided upon will be south from
here, to or near Canyonviile. but it is
not definitely settled whether the
rad will be located through the can
yon or around by the head of Cow
Creek, the cost being about the same
on cither route. From the head of
the canyon it is supposed that the
road will he located through the Cow
creek and Grave creek hi'ls as far
so-.ih as Jump off Joe, and from there
take a south western course through
IImj mountains aiming to strike some
w.tere about Crescent City. Then
iuwn the coast and connett with the
Donahue road which Mr. Villard has
liitely bought, and which rnns up the
;.ast from San Francisco about 125
miles. Plaindeakr.
Tho ordinance of the common
council of this city passed on the 18th
day of last month, on the subject of
improving a portion of second street,
provides that the portion of said
street therein designated "shall be
graveled with good clear river grav
el to be placed on said street, at least
five inches thick in the centre and to
extend ther from with a gradual
slope to a depth of at least three
inches on each side. This law ap
pears to meet with universal favor by
all property holders whose duty it
became to make the outlay imposed
on them by our city dads. Like all
good citizens should do, most of
them have performed their part of
the work and we believe the rest of
them have made the neccessary ar
rangements to do so, and that so far
as the property holders are concerned
the work will soon be finished sub
stantially in compliance with the or
dinance. But sec. 7 of said ordinance
further provides that "The cross
street on the part of second street to
be improved, shall be done at the ex
pense ot sanj city; under the re-
quiremants of this section the city
has seemingly went forward to per
form their part of this undertaking
but we are informed that the street
committee have ordered only twenty
five loads of gravel to place upon this
cross street which is to cover a space
of about eighty feet square, and when
this enormous amount of gravel is
spread out in the thinest manner pos
sible in order to make it cover this
large space, it will then probably be
about one and one half to two inches
in depth in the center and probably
none of any consequence on either
side. It is to be hoped however that
these directions only proceed from
the committee and will not be ap
proved by the council, and that the
council when they meet will see that
this cross street is improved fully -in
compliance with the ordinance which
they themselves have passed, for if the
council whose duty it is to make the
laws and see that they are complied
with, and also to act with equal jus
tice to all, are the first ones to so far
forget themselves as to evade the law
they seek to enforce against private
citizens, what can we expect from in
dividuals when the council should, be
yond all others set a good example.

The man at the helm who pretends
to furnish the wind and thunder for
the Aatorian, says: ''Neither the
Central nor Southern Pacific folks
have, any part or interest whatever in
the Yaquina Bay schemes. When
ever they take hold"- of anything jt
has got to le the big end of it. They
will never become interested in a
schooner port."
So far as the interests above alluded
to we know not nor do we care
who is interested iu them so long
as it is evident beyond question that
the work at Yaquina Bay and on the
railroad extending therefrom is going
to be pushed forward. Neither do
we care for the uncalled for slurs
which are so frequently hurled at the
improvements going on in this part
of the state, as long as they come
from such a source as the above, be
cause a man whose ideas are so small
that he cannot see any benefit to ac
crue to h's locality or to the people
at large from an extensive public im
provement in another part of the
state, is too insignificant to injure
anything, no matter what he may
say. And we beg pardon of our
readers for inflicting them with this
item, or for descending into an atmos
phere necessary to look upon such a
pompous bag of wind and contempt
ible mass of littleness.
From tho New York Times.
The troubles in Pery County, Ark.,
show that an alarming state of things
exists in that section of country.
The "outlaws," as the reigning spirits
are called, are very clearly in a ma
jority, and unless the (jcvernor's
promise to put these men down is
fulfilled speedily mob law will rule
in the county. An editor was mur
dered for publishing facts and figures
disigned to prove that a deputy
Sheriff had been a defaulter. The
friends of the Deputy Sheriff (who is
now on trial) are not only deter
mined that no investigation of his ac
counts shall be made, but that, the
accused man shall not be committed
for tho murder ot Mathews, the ed
itor. They threaten the life of the
presiding Judge, and his house is
guarded by the State Militia while
the ltg' proceedings are in progress.
The country is declared under mar
tial law, and the threatened Judge
feels obliged to explain why he does
not flee for his life. This is is a re
markable condition of affairs in a so-
called civilized country iu which we
are usually taught to look for the
rough justice of Judge Lynch rather
than for a deliberate defense of a
criminal..
SOMETHING TQ DO,
The ocean steamers every trip down have
more freicht awaiting them than they can
carry, the O. R. & N. Co. are moving 4000
tons of wheat to San Francireo for M. C.
Moore & Co., of Walla Walla about a
thousand tons at a time. Oregonian, Aug.
14th.
It is a notorious fact that a large
proportion of the wheat crop of Ore
gon finds its way by steamer to San
Francisco. There was a time when
the chief objection to Yaquina Bay
as a shipping point came from those
who argued strenuously against pay
ing tribute to San Francisco. Noth
ing short of deep sea vessels, capable
of carrying Oregon products direct to
foreign ports, would meet the re
quirements of trade.
This was true both in principle and
fact, but ever since the O. R- & N.
Co. undertook the control of the car
rying trade of the Columbia river
routes, there has been a growing
scarcity of foreign bottoms, and it
has been found (so apologists say,)
economical to ship by the company's
steamers to California and re-ship to
Europe, mainly for the reason (stated)
that better rates could be obtained in
San Francisco than Portland. If this
is true, there is no reason why wheat
cannot be delivered in San Francisco
via Yaquina Bay by steameis of 2500
tons burden cheaper than it can pos-
posibly be done f om Portland, par
ticularly is the case with the Willam
ette valley and eastern Oregon.
But the friends of Yaquina asked
for an improvement of the bar, long
belore the railroad was certain. Had
the Oregon Pacific designed business
system, the profit of which is vouched
for, from time to time, by the state
ment of earnings sent abroad by the
O. R. & N. Co., they would have
never spent both time and money to
secure an appropriation for the bar;
on the contrary a class of vessels such
as ply with regularity over bars on
the southern coast, where the best
water is only twelve feet, could be
built carrying 25 to 28 hundred tons.
Fortunately, however, the people
have a strong and faithful friend in
the managers of the Oregon Pacific,
one disposed and anxious to assist in
procuring farther aid in improving
the harbor, and the producers . inter
ested now, as they never have been
before, have a hard struggle ahead.
The aggregation of railroad capital
bitterly antagonistic to O. P. It. R
as well as any effort made to give the
central portion of Oregon a shorter
and cheaper route to tho seaboard,
and will be ably represented on the
floors of congress by a lobby alike
earnest and scrupulous.
Thoroughly understanding this,
what should be done to secure proper
attention? Our representative is a
staunch friend and advocate of river
and harbor improvement, believing
that these will act as a-clu ck on mo
nopolies Senators G rover and Sla
ter have stated publicly that if the
Oregon Pacific was assured, there
would be no difficulty in obtaining
further recognition from congress, so
their influence can be counted on as
Now I submit to all candid
if anv better argument or
stronger appeal could be made before
the committee on commerce than the
statement, substantiated by reports
of the engineer department, that the
people of the Willamette valley had
contributed a moiety of their hard
earnings to carry forward the works
until further assistance was rendered
by the government, this would show
confidence in the plans and furnish
the best possible evidence of the
people's necessities and the great ob
ject sought, and in my opinion would
carry sufficient weight to complete
ly swamp the O. R. & Co's lobby in
a body, and plant the question of an
appropriation far beyond the chance
of failure. As the Secretary of war
has kindly consented to act with the
means furnished and give vouchers
for the same, it necessarily follow
that there should be organized action,
hence the Grangers are the proper
parties to take this in hand, and the
sooner the better, and every man,
whether Granger or otherwise should
feel specially called upon to contrib
ute something to obtain relief from
the monopoly that is settling down
on this young state with cruel earnes.

A QUESTION OF CHARACTER.
From the New York Times.
The thick and thin democratic or
gans, whenever a republican journal
takes occasion to point out errors -in
the conduct of its own party, res
pond with the proposition that the
true way to remedy and avoid these
errors is to turn the country over to
the democratic organization. Iu any
condition of things likely to occui
very scon, to turn from republicans
to democrats for reform would be
going from bad to worse. ' The dem
ocrats came into possession of the
majority of the house of Representa
tives on the strength of their prom
ises to do what the republicans had
omitted to do, and subsequently they
gained the Senate. Yt, after a very
fair trial of their sincerity, at a time
when, though the president w; s re
publican, they had nothing to fear
for good legislation from his vetoes,
they have been dismissed by the peo"
pie. Tney have only their own lead
ers to thank for their discredit and
discharge. The9e have done little
but quarrel over the most narrowly
and bitterly partisan measures. We
are ready to admit that the republi
cans have by no means done all that
they could or should have done. It
may well be that a radical reform
will come from neither party, but
from a combination of the belter men
of each. But that it can be reached
by the complete domination of the
democratic party is a proposition
which sober men will be very slow
to admit.

almost instant death. Standard.
TELEGRAMS,
Accidental discovery of obstructions in
the track of the ball near the mouth of the
wound, is regarded by unofficial physicians
as evidence of great neglect of the president.
Dr. Boynton said about 9:30 to-night that
it was well to admit this vomiting of the
president might portend serious results; that
while it was doubtless true that severe
coughing had brought on the vomiting, it
might indicate weekness of the stomach, and
unless the president's stomach will admit of
his taking nourishment into it from now on,
the case woqld look desperate. Boynton
thought tomorrow would decide the case one
way or another. Soon after Dr. Bliss ad
mitted substantially that the condition of
the case tomorrow would be likely to show
whether the president can recover not. He
expressed himself as feeling hopeful, but
said the president must be able to receive
nourishment in the natural way if he is to
recover.

A stabbing affray occurred at Hubbard
on Thursday of last week, says the Appeal,
iu which Mr. Jack Knowle3 was seriously
wounded at the hands of a young man
named Lish Kiilin. Killin had been paying
attention to Knowle3, daughter for some
time and the trouble grew out of the refusal
of Knowles to consent to their marriage.
Killin had been about the premises threat
ening nearly all day, and Knowles patience
at last becoming exhausted he ordered Killin
away, when the latter assulted him with a
pocket knife inflicting a ssvere cut from
above the collar-bone and immediately back
of the jugular vein, also a slight wound on
the back of the head, besides badly crush
ing him about the shoulders. Dr. Grim
was called and attended the wounded man,
pronouncing the cuts not neccessarily dan
gerious; to what extent the bruises will en
danger his life cannot yet be ascertained.
The blow of the knife was well directed,
and the only circumstance that prevented'
it proving fatal was that the knife was very
dull and broken at the point which preven
ted the severing of the main artery.
Knowles is a quiet peace loving man, beside
is old and physically incapable of defending
himself. Therefore the people generally
denounced the affair as being totally unpro
voked, uncalled for an I cowardly. Justice
Fitzgerald issued a warrant of arrest, but
up to this morning Killin has not besn found.
Says the Oregonian: about 2:30 o'clock
Sunday morning the Chinese theater, at the
corner of Alder and Second streets, was the
scene of a big row in fact a mild sort of a
riot. The theater was packed like a sardine
box "from pit to dome," it being estimated
that nearly 1000 celestials were in the build
ing at the time. The audience claimed that
they had been swindled by the management.
When they came to the theater it wa3 with
the understanding that the play should con
tinue until 4 o'clock in the morning. At 2:
30 the performance was brought to a close,
which breach of trust made the Chinamen
very angry. They rose en masse and made
onslaught on the furniture. Chairs, benches
and tables were crushed and the chandeliers
smashed to. fragments. The crashing of
furniture and yelling of irate Johns was
heard for several blocks. Officers Hudson
and Day. who were near by, rushed up into
the building, and, after a long struggle,
quelled the rioters and restored peace. In
the row Day lost his hat and "billie."
There were several bloody nosc3 and black
eyes, but nothing more serious. Last night
the theater was in full blast again.
