OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COuKTY-
YAQUINA BAY.
THE PRGBABLE COURSE CF PRESIDENT I
YAQUINA BAY IMPROVEMENT FUND
-For. the last several issues of the
Gazette we have teen suggesting
through Us columns the propriety of
the people of the WiHameUe valley
- putting forth a united effort by way
' of each person subscribing a small
amount to be used in continuing the
present force of workmen in the ha
bor improvements at Yaquina qay
We have not made these suggestions
because we are interested in this
matter any further than owing to our
long residence in this our adopted
State for the last twenty-eight years;
- wo feel a deep interest in the general
well tare and developement of our
r.t ' Durinor all ot this time we
have observed the difficulties, em
barrassments and the large expense
that have thus far allways had to be
borne and paid by . the producing
class of our people in transferring
(heir produce down the valley to
Portland and thence to sea by way
of the Willamette and Columbia
rivers.. This large expense is much
greater than many are aware of un
less they have carefully thought of
tli matter. The coat, of tranoport
toj wheat from Portland out to sea
by itfct route has scarsely ever been
less itSta from ten to fifteen cents
per tfntihd on the entire portion of
theorojtof this valley which is trans
ported to foreign markets. Which
in the aggregate would probably
amomtt on live present crop to not
less than $400000 per annum. This
enoraius sum of money must for
. over be paid by the producers ol
Oregon bo long t they are compelled
to rely opop that long circuitous
route to get their produce to the
pea ward. Wo have a good harbor
At Yaquina bay and when the pres
ent improvement is completed vessel
'larger than usually come to Portl and
.run enter and care off the nruduce of
ithe Valley. From almost any point
in Ahe valley freight can be taken to
Yaqnina bay, when the present Ore
gon Pacific rail road is completed to
rthat place, or" lew money than ia
-charged from here to Portland, thus
saving the rati re annua! tribute of
abont $400,000 per annum which the
producers of Oregon have to pay to
get, their grain from Portland to the
. ajOuth of the Colombia river.
' The evidence to the ean did mind
-that the Oregon Pacifio will be ready
to earry wheat from the Valley to
.'the Ocean at Yaqnina bay in the near
fnt ore is overwhelming. It appears
to be as ehure and certain as any
- other of the more usual and ordinary
business undertakings of lite. The
-contribution suggested will insure a
.1 much earlier completion of the ini-
- provement of the harbor than can be
-done without it. If the neonle of
-the valley genearlly contribute, it
will also exhibit to Congress the
great need of an early completion of
the work, and will thus no doubt in
sure a much larger appropriation
from the next Congress tba n can be
obtained without it.
As we have often said before three
or four dollars given by each person
of the Valley who are directly inter
ested in this improvement will insure
money enough to keep the work in
progress until after the meeting of
next Congress.
In view of all the facts, we are
most assuredly forced to the conclu
sion that all persons who are able and
who refuse or neglect to donate, the
small sum needed to this enterprise,
arc certainly failing to do what is
most to their interests. But in this
. .matter, like all others, each person
must judge for himself as to what is
in st to do and then act accordingly
In accomplishing this object it wil
be found highly important and neces
sary for committemen to go forth ir
the country and interview each and
every person, and give each one per
sonally an opportunity to subscribe.
Many people who are busy will not
come to town for the express purpose
' of giving, and unless their presence
is. sought many subscriptions wil
nevar be obtained, which under olber
circumstances could be had.
Again we call the attention ot our
readers to this matt ; Whilst the
general reception of the request for
subscriptions has been moat gratify
ing, and whilst the movement has
already gone far enough to prove that
it is to Be an entire success, yet we
are told that some of our fellow cit;-
zens avert yet do not fully understand
the matter. Bear with us a little,
then, whilst we labor once more to
hrinir thn Rubied home tO nV who
1 -
have not yet contributed. First anl
toi emost.it is not in any shape the
i-nilu-nv tnuanis wllleh VOlir aid IS
asked. The money is to be expended
solclv in continuing the harbor im
provement under the exclusive man
agement of the U. t. Engineer?
Under the sanction of the Secretary
of War the U. S. Engineers control
and direction of the work is to be
Continued as long as the funds are
subscribed. And the vouchers for ah
money entrusted to him are to b
rendered to, and will be published
by, the commit te named by the citi-
z'ii!. 1 lie sno!uripiiouB iciu w
expended during the ensuing winter
and spring in keeping in good couni
tion, and continuing the progress of,
the works already advanced nearly
500 feet ont of the total of 2000 feet
contemplated.
How necessarv it is tor our citizens
w-,. i." , - " '
to join one end all, heart and poii', in
this common effort will be known at
one from the fact that out of the
$50,000 appropriated by congress
only enough now remains to continue
the works until the end of this month
of October. Should these works pres
ently be stopped every one can see
what irreparable irjury might result
The first heavy storm might make
an inroad on the work, such as could
easily be stopped if competent men
and sufficient material were at hand
but which if neglected would expose
to destruction all that there now is to
show for the 50,000 of appropria
lions.
In this business it is fit that Benton
county should take the lead. Oh
own county is that nearest m point
of distance, and best informed as to
the progress of the railroad wh'ch
urill in n verv few short months re-
nlace the hillv road now alive with
i
teams and travelers.
There are no parties or politics in
ihin? evervone. without a single ex
-y rf,r. -
.seption, is deeply interested. Whil
the railroad-divinity now at Portland
is issuing his oracles to his bowing
urn.-Hhinpni- and savins "the river
nnust be improved," we of the valley
ti!!inst do our work. We all re-
tnjnl.r the method by which Mr.
Smvpers" uuDils studied. "Spell bot
; a a -
any,' saFd he to his class. 4,B-o t, bot
i n, tin, ti-y, bottinny," answered the
trembling urchins. "Right,' roared
the sclhool master, "xhow go and get
your spade, and practice itfou them
cabbage-ylams," and they went.
ARTHUR.
A great deal of speculation is lt
circulation as to what president Ar
thur will do in regard to changes in
cabinet officers, who are likely to be
is appointees, and whether he will
attempt to encourage and follow the
Granf-Conkling" system ot displa
cing from and appointing to office.
It is true that under all the circum
stances that Arthur has entered upon
the discharge of his present duties at
tended with more embarrassments
than any other president before Kim.
While he has been for a long time a
politician in sympathy with the
Conklirg element, yet the duties ot
president require him to look alter
and care for the good "of all, and
above all to shape the future of his
administration so that its effect will
result in the greatest possible benefit
to onr common country and not use
his high position for the purpose ol
promoting the selfish ambition of
Mime faction, when such a course in
likely to prove disastrous to our re
public. Dti ring the late unpleasant
ness in the senate of the United
States, the disgraceful proceedings in
the late legislature of New York,
and the tragical death of president
Garfield, the people have so unaiii
mously expressed themselves unfavor
able to the Gian';-Conkliiig manm-i
of manipulating the offices that Ar
iliur cannot now he mistaken as to
what the sentiment of the American
neonle is upon this subject. It is not
doubted but what Arthur is a sensi
ble man. It is therefore reasonable
to presume that he will take a sensi
ble view ot the whole situation and
endeavor to conform in his practical
results to the desire of the American
peopie.

THE RAILROAD.
We have beui repeatedly asked of
ate what work was being done on
the Yaqnina .railroad, and these par
ties are always a little surprised at
the answer. We will therefore slate
for the benefit of inquirers that there
are between eight and nine hundred
men on the pay roll rf the company
all ht whom will be paid in full for
he past month's services to-day, and
alt of whom are satisfied with their
wages. In addition to this force
whieh is all the company can conve
nightly use in grading at present,'
there will be three hnn'fred more
commence work at the other end of
the route next week. The rtompany
also have four saw mills moving and
one more in course ot construction
that will be ready for work next
week.
The above statement doe not in
clude the large forces now at work
on the tunnel and on the bridge and
trestle work which are separate and
individual contracts and entirely out
side of the company's pay rolls.
neither does it include the contracts
for ties to be furnished, or four large
contracts for hewn timbers now being
gotten out in the timber along the
line. The above statement, which
made understanding, ought to sat
isfy the most skeptical that the Ore
gon Pacific Railroad means business,
aud that their road will be buil. as
soon as men and money can accom
plish the work.
It is a noted and curious fact that
no president from Washington to
Garfield was born in a city, and that
only the second Adams was even
nominally a resident of a city when
elected.
it is wrong to shoot Guiteau, says
tu New York Herald. Every hemp
field on the continent cries -out
against the outrage. Let everything
do its ordained work for the good of
the world.
Not a very great while ago it
would have been an act of treason
in England to suggest publicly the
idea of a radical change in its funda
mental form of Government. In gen
erations gone by men had been drawn
and quartered but for the entertaining
of a thought in that direction. The
audible expression of but a single
sentence has been sufficient to the
consignment of a head to the block.
Within a century, and siuco thirteen
of her American colonies broke loose
from hT and established a successful
Republic, a J ream of release from t he
ties of monarchy has been vaguely
cherished by no inconsiderable num
ber of people. The wonderfnl growth
of the United Stales in territory, ma
terial weak) , strength of national
position, and development of itellect
ual resources, have had their influence
in the mother country that is gradu
ally enlarging and steadily and sure
ly unfolding to an ultimate result. It
has often been uttered, by way of an
ominous rumbling, that nothing revo
Intionaiy would be attempted during
the existing reign. There is signifi
cance in such bold expression of for
bearance. The popular feeling
against, the House ot Lords is -not
concealed, but it is repressed, except
in occasional muttering. The as
sassination of President Garfield has
stirred the hearts of all English-
speaking people to their depths. What
indirect influence it is destined to
exert with such common race can
only be matter of conjecture. The
London Spectator, a newspaper of
long standing and of substantial in
fiiience, in its last issue took the op
portuuity, in an article on tn presi
dent's death, to refer to the millions
upon millions who havo mourned
over it, and to nay: "This fact may
yet have an effect in the history of
the world. All Englishmen arc in
terested in the only Englishman who
reigns by election, and solicitous that
he do nothing to lower an office that
halt of them teel must one day exist
in England."
This is suggestive language indeed.
That one-half of the englishmen
living in England are in favor of a
Republican form ot government is a
declaration full of surprise. Yet it
comes from a source that should
know approximately of what it
speaks. If the ball that so short a
time ago commenced rolling, has al
ready gathered to such a volume, it
may be taken f r granted that it is
still gathering, and when the event-
lut oav, now cy tne spectator so
ardently anticipated and so conn
denlly predicted, arrives, the resis-
tence to it will be weak and of short
duration. Still, notwithstanding the
sanguine expectation, it is hardly
conceivable that the dominent classes
of England would yield even to the
inevitable without a desperate sti ng
gle, even to the extent if necessary,
of a resort to arms. The termination
of the contest might be a foregone
conclusion as regarded them; but
intrenched in the traditions' of centur
ies, it wooid be expected that hey

A correspondent from that place says: On
Friday night, while burning kiln, an appa
rition was seen by the man burning. The
specter had the appearance of a white calf.
The person who saw it tried .to investigate
it but could find nothing tangible. He
approached the spot where it appeared to
be, but could feel nothing. Then opened
the kiln doors to throw light upon it, and
it would vanish. Then, after a time, when
the lights was taken away, it would appear
again. 1 1 was one of the staying kind; it
stayed until daylight caused it to vanish.
The person who saw the apparation is per
fectly reliablf, and is not superstitious in
any way; consequently we ask, what was
it? All agree that the apparition seems to
be purposeless and harmless, yet it gives
the credulous in the t n.mnnity a general
shaking up whenever it appeals. Telegram.
