Tha beautiful sacred cantata "Esther," will probably be presented in this city about March iSth, under the auspices of Epworta League. Prof. Ware, a Chicago leader, with years of experience in such work, has been engaged to conduct the rehearsals. This cantata was given by Corvallis people during the winter of 1875, and was so succesful that for years it served as the standard of local amatuer theatrical performances. There was no opera house here tken and a large warehouse on the river bank was fitted up with stage and seats. The cantata wes given on two nights to crowded houses. A crowd tf Albany peoDle came up for the perfor mance the second night, but could not get in. The leading male soloists were Capt. T 11 xrl .. ,. : ., l -1 . : . , .

How Tongue and His Colleag ues Secured Fayorablc Action in Yaquina Matters. The condition of the treasury and the possibility of war with Spuin has influenced the house to reject the amendment appropria ting $150,000 for this year's work on Yaquina harbor improvements under the contract which the war department will soon let. This action is not final. The matter will be urged by McBride in the senate and there is good prospects for favorable action in which the house will acquiesce. The matter of appropriation is one that interests chiefly the gov ernment and the contractors. It raises the question, "when will we get our pay? " But the improve ments will be made. Favorable action by the war de partmeut was the all important desideratum. And the war de pariment was very much inclined to be decidedly "fornnisi" the proposition. That, Tongu--, with l he aid ol McBrido aud Ellis, could move Alger and his subor dinates to let the contracts is al most miraculous uuder the cir cumstances. - In a private letter to a Corvallis citizen our congressman gives the details ol his battle, and liberty is taken lo publish part of the Jet ten "I leel a good deal of pleasure in our success in reference lo the Yaquina matter, myself. It is of great benelit to every county in Western Oregon, and I think to every county in Eastern Oregon. It will raise the price ol every class of agricultural products that are exported from the state from eight to ten per cent in Corvallis. The price paid there will lrg-iy lix the price throughout the en tire state. It means a great deal to the agricultural sections. No expenditure of that amount in Oregon, or elsewhcro could have benefitted so many ol the agricul tural classes as this expenditure at Yaquina bay. "You r.re correct in saying that 'few people knew the difficulty that we had to encounter. An impresoion had prevailed, and I regret to say that in some quartets an eflort, had been made to create it, that the river and harbor act ul 189(5 provided lor the completion ol this work, authorized it lo lu done, and appropriated the nioiuv for it, and that the administration was simply defying the law and refusing to execute it. This is to tally incorrect. That act author ized the secretary of war to let this contract, providing that he might do it, if in his discretion ii was a worthy and proper improve ment to make. The question of determining the commercial im portance of the work aud the ad visability of letting the contract was vested in the secretary of war. He was not defying the law or re lusing to execute it, but was car rying out the law and acting in accordance with its provisions when he proceeded to exercise his own judgment and discretion in the matter. It was incumbent upon us to convince his judgment, and induce the exercise of that discretion in favor ol the work. "The present, partial delegation have succeeded in doing that work. But I assure you it was no easy matter. I have made lite somewhat a burden for the occu pants ot the war office since com ing back here last fall. The sick ness of the secretary of war has materially retarded us. We final I ly induced Secretary Miklejohn to I agree to take the matter up with us. had lost no opportunity to 1 endeavor to enlist his sympathies with us. At last he told me he j was satisfied of the commercial i importance of the work. The on ly other matter was a question of the treasury, and it satisfied upon that, he would endeavor to get the department to act. I felt quite sure that the work would not cost the full amount, and I asked him to give a hearing to the entire delegation, which he did, and we went down and discussed the mat ter with him. He promised to let us know the result the next day. Not hearing from him, Senator McBtide and myself went down the next morning, and we failed 10 hear that evening, and I went again the next day, and received news that the matter had been tiled with the department in our favor. I lost no time in wiring i out to you people. We are urg j ing that the bids shall be adver ! tiso I at Un! earliest possible mo j ment." Manager Stone, of the Corvallis & Eastern Railroad Co., has an interesting letter from Mr.Tongue, exolaininc in detail the exact status of the Yaquina matter, but ! las he returned only yesterday j i from the bay, it was impossible to I get a coppy of the letter iu time; lor publication.
