Asbestos. An agent is bow in Port
land who hats been; sent here in the in

purpose of gathering information con
cerning the ex-tensive beds of asbestos
that exist in the Willamette valley. It
w stated that the syndicate propose to
engage in preparation and manufac
ture of asbestos- in Oregon1 o a large
scale. It has been reported for some
time that an- extensive bed of asbestos
exists in Benton- county, about twenty
miles west of Corvallis near the Ore
gon Pacific railroad, and we have had
several requests from parties engaged
in- the manafacture of this mineral to
procure specimens of this mineral for
them, which we have endeavored to
do,, but so far failed. Heneo we have
about conve to the conclusion that the
parties who own the find either do not
care to have it developed or they have
not got as extensive a bed of the
mineral as represented.
At Job's Theatrk, Under thu
auspices of the G. A. 11., R. O. Bates
related the story of the experience of
himself and comrade and their capture
and escape from the southern pris
ons during the war, last Tuesday
undfc Wednesday evenings at Job's
Theatre. The audience was net large,
but the manner in which he related his
story held their entire attention
both evenings. There was nothing in
the lecture to stir anyone with feelings
other than those of the deepest sympa
thy. He told in most simple manner
of their capture, ther treatment while
iu the vaiious prisons, their plans and
escape, the exciting chase of their
captors, their arrival in the Union line,
their trip to Washington, their recep
tion by the president, then home; etc.
It can safely be said thut ali who at
tended were well pleased' with the
story.

bunko and matrimonial fame is again

foundation and he now wants a divorce
from the woman whom- he married iu
haste. He recently had a consulta
tion with her, at which time he show
ed her a- papeF to sign-, one ofT the pro
visions of which was that she. would
consent to a divorce. There was $500
in gold lying on the table which was to
be her reward for signing the- agree--wen&
She came to the conclusion
tlwt it was as good a thing an she was
likely to come across, and signed the
agreement. Jones dettly gathered in
the $500 and the agreement and took-
his departure:-

was completed.' In observance of Chi
nese custom about twenty pounds of

YAQUINA HARBOR" IMPROVEMENTS.
The following extract is taken from
the atinuat report of the chief of engi
neers to the secretary of war, in ela
tion to the improvement of Yaquina
Bay. The report was made about
three-months ago but has just been
issued
The usual prevailitig' depths over
the bar at low water, before improve
ment, were from 7 to 8 feet. Three
disffuct channels existed, known as
the north, middle and south channels.
The south channel was the one most
ly used, but was rendered dangerous
by the presence of rocks. The mid
dle channel, though free from rocks,
wes usually the shoalest of tho three,
and so was little used. The north
iihamiel besides being long and tor
tuous, was so studded with rocks as
to be considered unnavigable. Owing
to tno smiting nature or the bar these
channels were constantly changing,
both in position and debth. The
mean rise ol tide was 7.1 feet. The
project alopted in 1881 was to run
out a dike or jetty on the south side
of the entrance, so as to cause the
south chunnel to shoal up and the
How to be deflected northward with a
view to opening and maintaining the
central chunnel with a least depth of
17 foot at high water.
As originally, projected, the diks
was to start from near low water lino
and run out into tho sea a distance of
2500 feet, and was to rise to two feet
above mean low water. Tho beach
on the lino of the jetty from high
water level, w;s to be protected by
sinking gabions in the beach with
sand heaped1 over thc-ru and by cover
ing the surfaces with a layer of mat
tresses and stone.
The etane for the jotty was to bo
deposited in place- from barges, and
cribs were to be used if practicable.
It was found, however, that cribs
could not be used on accouut of the
strong current and high seas, and that
the ocean swell, even in quiet weather
was too great to permit of stone
barges. Accordingly the jetty had to
be built from the shore end, by carry
ing the stone out over a tramway,
and was begun at high-tide line in
stead of low-tide line, thus making
the total projected length of the jetty
in 1881, 3700 foet.
In 1884 the jetty was extended
shoreward a distance of 316 feet to
close up a gap that had been washed
out by the sea, making-the total pro
jected length of the jetty at that time
about 4000.
The present project, adapted in
1888, is to raise the south jetty to full I
high water without extending it sea
ward, thus making its total length
3748 feet, and to construct a mid-tide
jetty on th north side of the entrance,
about 2300 feet in length,, extending
from the north head along and be
hind the reef, putting out from the
head to a point opposite the end of
the south jtty and distant from it
about 1000 feet.
Amount expended to June 30, was
$332,63r 25.
At that dato the south jetty bad
been completed to its entire length, as
projected by the board of engineers,
and the north jetty to a length of 300
feet,, and work was being actively car
ried om Amount expended during
the year ending June 30, 1890; was
$50,867 12. Appropriations have been
made for this improvement amounting
to $550,000.
Basket Sociable. The basket so
cial given by the Young Ladies Aid
Society of the Christian church Iat
Saturday evening in Fisher's hall was a
success both financially and socially.
Eich of the young ladies had prepared
a handsome basket and filled it
with a delicious lunch for two. At the
door the geutlemen were given-a ticket
upon which there was a number, and
the lady whose basket was numbered
correspondingly was his partner for the
evening. It created considerable
amusement wheu the baskets were distributed-
to- see some gentlemen of
sixty draw a basket whose owner was
perhaps twelve or thirteen years or
vice versa. The whole evening passed
off" pleasantly and the ladies are about
$.42- better off for their trouble.

A BAD SKIK DISEASE
On Limb 5 Years. Bedridden 3
Years. Doctors and Medicines
Useless. Feared Amputation.
Cured- by Cuticura at Cost of $3.50
Now Does Her Own Work.
A Wonderful. Cure.
. T must write and tell you of the success I
have hail iu using the Cuticura .Remedies.
I had been troubled for nearly five years
with skin disease hi' the riiht limb, ad nil
the doctors in this city could do nothing for
it. I tried everything, until at last I
thought I should have to have the Kmb am
putated at the knee. 1-t was swelled1 to
twice its natural size, and I could barely
hobble around ou crutches. I was- in the
house, part of the time bedridden, for three
yean, and could not get out. I happened-
to look in the newspaper and saw the Cuti
cura advertisement, and as a last resort
tried that. I used two bottles of the Re
solvent and-three boxes-of the Cuticura. I
am now able, t do all my work-, both in
limine, and out doors, and my limb is as
natural m could possibly be under anv cir
cumstances. It is a most wonderful cure.
I had inveu up hopes of ever being well
again. If this will benefit yon, you are-
welcome to use it to the best advantage..
Any one not crediting this can find me by
addressing me at the above named city.
