for the company. His stay will be short
and his trip an important one.

mill near the Summit on the hue of their
road.

contract to deliver a large lot of t':ubei
and lumber to the tunnels on the live of the
railroad.
During the fore part of the week hands
were employed and sent out to work in put
t up railroad company's saw mill.
Owing to the fact that the rail road com
pany have not yet had ai'ifio'eufc ti.ne to
organize their system of work they are
not yet able to employ m;uy white men,
result of whichjis that too maiy white men
are flocking into towu looking for employ
ment on the rotid. After bi'tbVent t;me
has elapsed for the work to ba fully organ
ized the company expect to employ uioie
white men. Those now seeking employ
ment can therefore favor themselves and
save annoyance to the men in the company's
office here, if they will st ,y where thev
are untH the company gets ready for their
assistance.

Newport Items.
Ed. Gazette : Perhs.ps a few lines from
Newport would be interesting to your mauy
readers.
The weather is delightful, the bay, bar
and ocean is smooth and serene.
The schooner Kate aad Ana came in
Friday morning deeply laden with mer
chandise of a I descriptions, enough to str.y
the hunger of our bay for a week or two.
She ailed this P. M. at 2 o'clock, for Port
land well laden with oysters, h:Jes, eggs,
&c.
Our new city council has been duly quali
fied and entered upon the discharge of their
duty. They met in special session Saturday
evening for the purpose of repealing the
Sunday ordinance recently passed by the
old council. The honorable Mr. Brandt
council maD of Olson's addition to Newport,
full of the tpiriis of the day, . ok posses
sion of the floor and addressed the honor
able council in most elegant language in
favor of repealing the orc".:uauce. There be
ing no short haud reporver present we lost
a great deal of the speech, but his main
point was "that the bay was aliiatj rough
during the week, but calm and serene on
Sundays; hence the necessity of having the
stores and shops open, that the poor people
who have been hemed up all the week may
come to Newport and be clothed aud fed."
A motion to repeal followed, which was
promptly seconded, the motion pnt to vote,
and all voted yea and amen. Echo Presi
dent : "io mote it be." Recorder was in
structed to euter upon the minutes that
"Ordinance No. 17 is hereby repealed. "
Council adjourns uutii tne tirsc -I ., ny in
January, and all go out with light hearts to
open stores and gin shops on the morrow;
but in less than fifteen minutes after ad
journment they were informed that mo
tions did not repeal laws, and then is when
t ie fun came in. However our Sundav
law is good until January, : d probably by
that time they will come to the conclusion
that it is a pretty good thins; to have a
Sunday law. Its a great deal in getting used
to these things.
The Good Templars are getting up an
entertainment and Christmas tree, prin
cipally for the benefit of the B ind of Hope
which includes pretty much all the children
of Newport. Win. Hammond has gener
ously donated the use of his hall for the oc
casion.
Charley Shaw has bought ont the hard
wire store formerly owned by WalUog and
Wright and is doing a big business.

Villaid Resigned.
teram was received here from New

made all he can out of the scheme while
being the cause of others loosing aud beiug
smart enough to know that his days were
abo.it numbered in the manipulation of these

one else to shoulder.

Scarlet Fever.
By a letter from our f 'end E. B. Mc
Elroy at Salem, to his brother-in-law W. S.
McFadden here, we learn since the an
nouncement of scarlet fever in the family of
Mr. McElroy a short time ago, that two
more of bis children have taken the dreaded
disease. Two of them are becoming much
better, but the third one, a little girl, at
the time of writing the letter uded to

from this life was expected any moment.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
One day not long since one of our indus
trious and energetic (with other people's bus
iness) fellow-townsman of the Mississippi
plan, who beyond all things, is noted for
his large 'belly, small appetite, number
fifteen brogans, and a No. six hat; and who
has taken upon himself the important duty
of attending to the city walks, concluded
a few days ago to str,rt up town, but as he
glanced out of a two by three window he
discovered that the thawing away of the
frost had created slight mud aud not w'sh
ing to walk acn. s a block south on a good
sidewalk before turning east to come a
straight line to main street, he turned ab
ruptly anil gathered a sheet of blank paper
and wrote upon it "thar" "whar" and a
whole lot of other similarly constructed
hyroiilyphics which no living human could
begin to understand or interpret except the
city counc'l of Corvalb's. In a flash he
appendod a saw buck to it for a name and
fo hwith dispatched it to the leading
spirits in the city council. The result was
the council came immed atcly together to
decipher the wouder'ul writingsuch as no liv
ing man hail ever sreu before. A'ter labor
ing and pondering over its contents for
hours. aid bringing to her" all of the won
derful foresight aud intelligence of our
great imaginative town council, whose cre
at'on must have been only for the purpose
of meei.;ng emergencies, poude ed and dis
cussed the probable meaning of the wonder
ful charicatures until the small sleepy hours
were about re volviug around pear the time
of night when the dutiful cock 's about to
sound toe alarm ot approaching dry, when
all at ouce one of the towu council, not quite
so sieepy as the rest of h's dutiful city dads,
and who p -ided himself on a proper inter
pretation of hum u clirriuatures "in the
case of an emergency. " arose from his seai.
where be bad been anchored for so lo.i iu
deep med;t..t;on and annouoced to his
wearied and ahnost exhausted fellow council -men
that he had deciphered the contents
of the wonderful production. He spoke as
follows: "Mr. Mayor and fellow conneil
meu, this is a petition ami that saw buck
the signature of our honored fellcw towns
man , our Mississippi friend
he asks our honorable body to construct a
sidewalk from his place directly east toward
the river so that when he gets that pointer
oC his which he envelopes in that No. 6
bat poinad dveci'y east towards the river
he can come on a dire t line to ira'n street
without turning .o Jie right or to the e"t.
Gentlemen the petitioner further says that
he b; "i determined that he wi!1 go up town
that way aud no other, aud I know, geu
tle.nen, that with the power'ul iutel'ect
that tois m.tn has under b's No. 6 hat, that
as he has conclude I to come up town iu the
way he indicates, that four yoke of oxeu
.nd a steam locomoti ve could not turn his
course; and you geut'eraeu a" are aware of
the extreme s;--.e of his feet and the great
weight of his carcass, .to that if he starts
up towu before a sidewalk is built he will
sink ': to the mud so fast that TnijDotiahue
and four hundred more Dutchmen could not
d'g fast enoush to get him out, and this
friend of ours may thus loose h;s V'e by be
i g mi ad to death for want of a 8dewalk:
aud the city might thus loose her dutiful
overseer of s'dewalks. I koow gentleme
as well as all the rest of you that th'S peti
tione might tura soj;!i and walk 31 J f et,
or jost across one b'jck, on a new and
number one si lewa'k where he could turn
directly east and get to main street all the
way on a good sdewalk already constructed;
aud not have to go a sn le foot further
than he will when the sidewalk he desires
is constructed. But then you know Mr.
Mayor and fellow couuc'lmeu that when a
man with largj brain power iu a No. 6 bat
like our petitiouer and overseer of sidewalks
g its h's head pointed in a certain direction
as I illustrated before, it is impossible to
turn his course, an I therefore you S2e that
there is dang sr oi' severe accident bjfall: : g
our Mississippi frit-ad who is p.iint'ug us iu
the &dewalk hus'oe's. I therefore uum's
takably and emplia cally say that this is a
case of 'emergency,' ' whereupon his
brother couucilmen all chi'oeu in unison
saying "yes this certainly is a case of
'emergency.' " Whereupon an ordinance
was ieml the fi-st and second time dee'sr
iu: the case in hand to be au emergency,
and the ordinance passed by a unanimous
vote ordering the wa'k built before the
petitioners could st up towu. The
council then adjourned to take a nap. while
they would probably ilionni over the pro
priety of the construction of a sewer under
an emergency, costing nearly 30;)0 of the
peoples hard earned coin, which could no.
possibly lie used within sis mouths after its
completion.
