If successful, this will make $50,000 available for the work on Yaquina bay. Retiring Superintendent Rev. Chas. Booth left, the records of his office in admirable shape.' Jlis re ports are all up in good shupe, and his successor can intelligently as sume the duties of the office where Mr. Booth laid them down. The tariff bill passed the senate on Tuesday by a vote of 39 to 34 Hill was tbe only democrat who " voted against the bill, and Peffer was the only populist who did so. The bill now goes to a conference committee of the two houses for a compromise on the disagreeing vote. The final vote will soon be taken. A fine time is reported to have been had at the celebration on Drift Creek. A. good literary and music al program was carried out, a fine dinner was enjoyed by all present, and a thoroughly, good, sociable time was had. H. Denlhiger, Jr., the young attorney of this "place, delivered the oration of the day, and It Is sold to have been a very able effort, Sheriff Landis has collected about $10,500 of the 1893 taxes. John Akin, Jr., was o-er from Philomath to spend tbe 4th. Frank Russell, of Independence, came over to celebrate with us. The town of Klamath Falls, in Klatntth county, has been visited by a disastrous fire recently. A great many of the Indians on the Siletz went over to Grand Ronde to celebrate on the 4th. C. A.

Patent zp plied for all rights reserved. N. J. Leabo's father and mollicr came over from Salem Thursday. and will spend the summer months on the Bay, thus escaping the hot, unhealthy weather of the valley. Tlie great railroad strike has not affected the 0, P. system yet. I' would be funny, wouldn't it, it al! the lailroads in the west but the O. P. should be tied ud. and the- people would have to come lure to Fred .Chambers retured from California last Monday, where he has been for the benefit of his health for several weeks. We are glad lo note that his sojourn in California was beneficial to him. He came up on the steamer Homer. Bert Van Cleve and 'Gene Simt son have started the Evening In former at C01 vallis. It is a small 4 page sheet, the same size as the defunct Daily News, and evidently printed with the same outfit. There is 110 field for a daily paper at Cor- allis at present, and the boys will cou-.e to a realization of this fact at an early date. They will probably get through in time for hop picking. The commodity report of Toledo station shows that durine the month of June there were 402 tons of freight billed out by" the Oregon Pacific, This would make fourty ordinary car loads, or two tram loads of freight. If every station on the 0. P. did as well there would be an increase in the company's business. The pas senger busiiiess was not so heavy 111 June as in May. Treasurer-elect J. L. Hyde, came very near flying the track, and not qualifying for the oillce to the office to which he was elected. He came down last week, and wheu he learned that the salary was but $200 per year, and that he would have to put ,up a $10,000 bond and incur all the responsibhties of the office, he concluded that he wasn't dying for the office after all. How ever he finally concluded to qualify and so he took the oath of office and is now getting his bond ready for the same. The prospect of a eood summer at the Bay is very' bright. New port is rapidly coming to the s front as the leading seaside resort of the Pacific northwest. In fact it has but one rival, Clatsop beach, and the frequent drownings by the treacherous surf at that place makes it second to the really magnificent and safe surf of Newport beach. The sanitary condition of Portland is going to drive manv of its in- habitants to the seashore during the heft ted season, and Newport and Ssal Rock are going to get their full share. Mrs. Abbev. of the Bay View ; 1 louse at Newport!' 1 states that she has more, rooms en gaged now than she ever has. hjut before at this time of the year. After the two new commissioucis. Chas. Williams and J. T. Bristow. had qualified for office last Monday, they then and there engaged in 0 little game of "draw" in theclerk's office. The obiect of the was to see which would be entitled to the long term and which took the short term. Countv rwi- fonts wrote "long term" on one piece of paper and "short term" on another, and folded and placed thera In a hat. They were giveu a good shaking up and Mr. Bristow reached in the hat ami drew forth one of the slips of paper. On un folding it, the legend "short term" was visible thereon, and so Mr. Bristow's term will expire on the first Monday hi July 1896, and Mr. Williams will hold for two years longen CELEIlItATIOX AT TOLEDO. The American Eagle Screams for the Glorious Fourth. The 118th. anniversary of Amer ican Independence was celebrated at Toledo yesterday by about a thou sand people. The exercises bf the day were ushered in by the sunrise salute. At ten o'clock the grand pro cession was formed and marched to the ground in the following order: Marshal of theday, the Toledo band, the old G. A. R. veterans, the Lib erty car with the Goddess of Lib erty and little girls representing t :e varioa.s stales of the union, the Old Fe!bv.s in regalia, the Indians and the people 011 foot.

After a few remarks !y Hie president of the day and mrs'c by the band and glee il.ib, Mi. a Kui'ice Alexander ra.l the .,'ul..r.ilion of Independence in ex cellent style. After more miiMc lion. R. A. Bensell, of Newport, delivered the oration of the c!av. His speech was a good and patriotic effort and was well received. He wa'i followed by Col. Kelsay, who inat'e a short, but very appropriate address, in the usual verbose and -..w. wi.i.r Ui, icis-iy s address an adjournment was taken for ('.inner, and the hungry crowd leaste 1 from well filled baskets and table;. It was here that thebarbe cued beef and baked clams came in, and the supply of the former was soon exhausted, though a whole beef wa3 roasted for the occasion, yvfler dinner the crowd re-assem bled at the grounds and the baby show became the center of attrac lion. Seven fat, fine healthy hand some babies were contesting for the prizes, and the judges, three con firmed old bachelors, were "put to it" for once in their lives, at least They finally made the following awards: For best looking boy baby, the child of Mrs. Bain, of Newport; the child of Mrs. T. F. Stewart, ot Toledo; for best looking girl baby, the child of Mrs. M. E. Peairs, of Toledo, first prize: the child of Mrs. Chas. Tillotson, of Toledo, second prize. After the decision the judges scattered and took to the woods to escape the irate women. After the baby show the next was the appearance of the Plug Uglies. These fairies made a good appearance and" captivated the crowd, The next part of the program was the Indian feather dance. This was oue of the most enter taining features of the whole cele bration. Arrayed in their brilliant uniforms, and tall feather head dresses, they performed their pe culiar dance 1a elegant sty Id After the Indian dance the crowd adjourned to town, Then came the "tue of war" fof th connrv seat between West Yaquina and Toledo. The first tue was foul and was pulled over, The second tug was hotly contested, flild re suited in a victory for Toledo. The dav closed with a disnW of - fireworks at 9 o'clock, after which followed a grand ball at the court house. This closed one of the best celebrations ever held on the Bay: PETER TELLEFSON, DEALER IN General :-: Merchandise, Flour and Feed, Staple and Fancy Groceries Dry Goods, Clothing, Gents' FnrniaMng Goods, Hats.
