CHIT Tbe Jttty oi thr Columbia Bur. From the Astorlau. A pleaf.int half hour's ride on the swifuure steamer Gin. Canty brings one to the Fort Stevens wharf, around which sand is form in 4 so fast as to r.eo comitate another rxtension. Piled on the side of thn railroad track oil which runs the locomotivs "Tillamook,'1 are huge bundles of hru.sh, spruco and homlook poles tied in twenty foot lengths and bound Jsecurely with withes thu tops and branvhes being trimmed in tho woods and hauled to the wharf by ox'teAiilH. The rail track windn along tho ln-ach in a southwesterly di rection and then turns to the went, a distance of 2,910 feet, past the machine shops, a double track being laid a dis tance of 2,910 feist, past thn machine shops, the office and supply depot, the track rising on a grade of one foot in fivo hundred. At highwater mark the building of the jutty proper be gin. Four rows of piles are driven every ten fcef, a space of five feet lie ing left from the outsiilo to thn second row, and a space of eight feet in the middle, making the piling eighteen feet in width from outside to outside. The piles are fir, foriy-livo feet long, aver aging eighteen inches in jiaiueter, and are driven twenty one feet into thn B'ind; the piles have been driven by the hydraulic process, which in this in stance has been invaluable as it is be lieved they could not havo been driven by the ordinary procenn. A three inch rubber pipe is put down by the side- of the pile as soon as placed in an upright position in the frame and a jel of wa ter forced through it; this cuts away the sand and the pile sink down in the sand by its own wtight The simple- ncss and effectiveness of the operation is manifest to the most casual observer. After the pile has been sunk in this way a few taps on the end from a huge hammer settles and steadies the pile, and in J;his wry 1,016 piles have been driven. The work has gonn rapidly on without a single accident, break or mishap of any kind, and the money expended bus been spent in an intelli gent manner entirely satisfactory to those in charge and productive of the best possible result Beginning at hih watef mark, 2,0 1 0 feet from the wharf, the work of plao ing the mattresses commenced. The bundles of fescines are first swung un der the stringers of the track, lushed together and bound and rebound, the bundles lyiug in a direction transverse to the jety, and when about four feet of thickness is attained they are dropped to the surface of the water. Then smaller rock is dumped on them till they sink; the rock is not of the coarsest, weighing from 100 pounds to a ton, so as not to pierce the matress, till it is submerged; then rocks weigh ing from two to three tons each are dumped till the matress is covered to a depth of four or five feet and by this time another couple of lengths tf mat tresses are ready to be sunk, and so the work goes on. Thus far about 6,000 tons of rocks have been used. On the north hide spurs of outlying mattresses and masses of rock have been placed as protection from the con stant wash of tho water while the work of putting in placo goes on. In this way 1,010 feet of thn jetty have been constructed, tho eno of the track being now just 401)0 feet from the wharf and eight feet higher than tho eastern ex tremity. It is a fine Right to stand on the stringers of the railroad bridge over 1,000 feet out in the ocean beyond high water mark. Away out on the spit to the west '.lie incoming tide breaks in thundi-r and the long wates curl in crested foam along the beach. One huge wave beaten back aeain and again reforms and comes directly tow ard the piles. It rises and pressing onward lifts its sparkling head of crested white foam, in brilliant contrast to the emerald swell beneath, and with a mighty heave it hurls itself against the jetty. A slight tremor is felt as the wave breaks and rushes hissing under one's fe-tt the foam rising in spray and scattering in misty points as the wave runs in and is lost on the wet beach. Since the work lxgnn reaching put ii.il...i llii ..i,. l: !.. v .u .w. r;vii 1. -.e-i j spit has been rapidly making out on the north unci washing away on the south, it now appearing us though the water of tho ocean would soon reach the little lake between Ft. Stevens and Pt, Adams so long a ago made by the closing up by the sand of the pres ent line of beach. With tho ocean heaving and tossing under ths feet of the workmen, tho tide coming and going and the great waves rolling in it requires constant care and a steady head on tho part of the workmen, but they po ahead swing ing the large piles into thn frame, and when once made upright sinking them to their homo with very little delay. Last week a largn platform sixty-five feet in length and fourteen feet in width, has been constructed at thn end of tile track. It swings on a turntable and overhangs the water twenty-two feet. Though so huge, it winds as eas ily as a gate on its hinges, and is of great convenience in allowing easy placing of the piles. A stoam ham mer is in operation at pns ent. It works direct and is siippliid from a pipe running from , thn engine in tho rear. Above tho hammer is a steam chest which by an ingenious ar rangement of valves gives force to the to the thirty five hundred pound ham. mer to raise it, thn hammer dropping on the head of the pile at the rato of sixty blows a minute. After the first hundred blows the head of the pile be gins to smoke from tho intense heat generated by tho impact of the ponder ous blows and seems as though on fire, all tho while settling slowly to its place. The hydraulic process is used in con nection with tho experimental work of thn steam hammer. The jetty is now heading about northwest, the intention being to ex tend it about throe and three quarter miles to a point almost due south of Cape Hancock. Major Eastwick, who has had entire charge of the work from its inoipiency, thinks that active oper ations for thn season will ceaso about tho 15th inst. Major Jones and Capt. Powell have visited the work and ap pear well jleaed with the swift and satisfactory' manner in which it has been prosecuted. Of the $100,000 appropriated by Congress at its last session $85,000 has been spent. It is within the limits of conservative state ment to say that probably no similar ainoant of government appropriation has been more judiciously expended or with better practical results. Work was begun on April llth, and the six months since then has Been thn entire plant placed and the entire wcrk pushed to a point that begins to show what can be done and the usefulness of the project when completed. This work is one of national import ance; it is second in magnitude and the interests affected to no similar work in the United States. It concerns every resident of a scope of country comprising nearly 400,000 square miles of the fairest portion of our national donain. It is a work that affects everyone in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. It is not of State or local im portance to tho exclusion of larger in terests. It is the direct concern of all and should receive the aid that all can give. 10 our nauonai legislature inn people of this Northwest coast look for continued aid to prosecute the great work so well begun. Cure For Piles. Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weiuht in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affection of the kidneys or neuhlxinnu oriians. At times, symptoms of indigestion are present, fluttileiicn, uneasiiiew of tne stom ach, eta A moisture, like iterspiration, pro ducing a very disiigrtx-Ahle itching, after net ting warm, is a common attendant.

For jajj by K B Luokey ft Co, ' California k Oregon Bailroaili .1, TheS. t Chronicle of the 10th inst editorially says: "The California Si Oregon Company's effort to holJ thn grant will, of course, fail. Congress will have no hesitation in forfeiting a grant made twenty years ago to aid in opening up a country which at that time was almost a wilderness, but which is not needed now. The South- em Pacific road of California will go on with the work all the same. Tho country through which the new road passes will be opened up fully, and splendid timber lands, rich mines, fer tile vajley; and excellent lands of all kinds will pay tribute to the road. There are thousands of acres of sugar pine, besides redwood and other pine woods along the route. Thn new road will have a lumber traffic- from the start, which will pay a dividend on its cost When it connects with the Ore gon & California it can lay down in Portland goods from Chicago and New York at a less price than they can Iwi carried over the Northern Pacific. The Southern Pacific of California will find added a very nice piece of property to its holdings, though it cannot get the land grant. roorVld" Jumbo. Jumbo's lloih was cut from his bones: and cremated as fast as it was cud away. His hide weighed 1600 pounds, and it required a ton of salt and 100 pounds of elm bark to cure it. Par num paid thn English $10,000 for him, but it cost Uarnum 120,000 to land him safely in New "York. Howeverj Jumbo paid for himself in three weeks. "I valued him," says lSarnum, "at the time of his death, at 300,000." Jumhd daily atn four hundred pounds of hay( one barrel of potatoes, and one bushel of onions. Scott, an Englishman, was his keeper, and he never used a prod on him, but ruled him by kindness. Scott is a great lover of1 Ueer, and Jumbo used to drink a pailful every night with his keeper. The London Liberals have dug a mine to be exploded under tho Tories, in pursuance of agitation on behalf of overworked railway servants. The victim of tho coming attack is the Right Hon. William Henry Smith, Secretary of War in the present Tory government, who was immortalized some years ago as Sir Joseph of Gilbert and Sullivan's ''Pinafore." Smith is lessee and proprietor of all the book stalls in all (ho railway stations throughout Great Britain, He has an absolute monopoly of this business and has become immensely rich by means of it, li is fortune being estimated at millions of pounds. It lias just be- coino known that he compels boys in his omploy, somo of whom are only 14 years old, to work from 5 A. M. to 10 P. M. for $1 75 a week. Liberal committees propose It) give widespread publicity to these facts, and the ex posure is sure to create a storm of in' dignation.
