O'BRIEN'S,
Down at Yaquina there are
several cars loaded with fine, large
blocks of Pioneer stone that has
been condemned and will not be
forwarded to San Francisco. Up
at the quarry there is another lot
of stone that has also been con
demned, and it is said that there is
still another lot at San Francisco.
These huge blocks of stone have
been ruined by being cracked, or
sunchecked. Through the edge or
sides of each one of these blocks
runs a small crack, just similar lu
cracks made in hard clay by the
sun.
The casualty that has occurred
to this large lot ot stone has caused
the shutting down of the quarry
temporarily, and just what will be
done in the future is not known.
In an interview with Mr. Elmo
Davis yesterday, he stated that he
did not know what would be done,
but felt satisfied that the shutting
down was only temporary. The
cause of the cracking of the stone
is attributed by him to the fact that
the stone was not sufficiently, sea
soiled. It was quarried out of the
south ledge which lies on the north
slope of the hill. 1 he ledge is
covered with dirt and vegetation,
the sun never strikes it, and it is
always water-soaked. As a con
sequence when the stone is first
taken it is soaked as full of water
as it can be, and the action of the
hot sun causes the outside to ex
pand. The inside remaining firm
and unyielding the result is a check,
or crack in the surface. The stone
that has been put into the building
is entirely free from such flaws,
and the action of the sun and
weather seems to have no effect on
it. The stone in the south ledge
is exactly similar to that of the
north ledee, and there never has
been any cracking or checking of
stone taken from that ledge.
What will be done next is not
known. The company have a con
siderable amount of rock to deliver
yet to finish filling their contract.
It is in the nature of a calamity to
have this quarrv shut down, and
we hope that it will only be tem
porary.
Turkey is a foul blot on the face
of civilization and should be ob
literated and wiped off of the face
of the map. The outrages commit
ted by its people with the passive
assent of its rulers are enough to
justify the civilized nations of the
world in crushing it out of existence.
And they would, too, if it were not
for the lamentable fact that the
Turkish bonds are held by the
money powers of the great nations
of Europe.
there is danger of another law suit
between Benton and Lincoln coun
ties. This time it is over a claim
that Benton county holds against
Lincoln for the sum of $89 as a
balance due on final settlement made
between the two counties a couple
of years ago. Judge Stearns in
forms us that he does not think it
probable that a suit will result from
the matter. The bill was first
presented to the county court of
jtfincGin county at K3 last term.
At that time Commissioner Williams
stated that he had a letter from the
treasurer of Benton county to the
effect that since this settlement had
been made between the two counties
that Lincoln county had acquired a
credit in some manner from Benton
county for something like $40 or
$50. So the bill of Benton county
was continued for the term in order
to look up this credit. The court
did not refuse to pay it as the Ben
ton county officials seem to have
been led to believe. It is very
probable therefore, that if Benton
county will possess her soul in
patience that when the county
court of this county meets in June
that the matter will be amicably
settled, and that all danger of
another sijit between the two
counties will be avoided.

The Spokane Outburst speaking
of the new mines in Alaska deliber
ately makes the assertion that sixty
thousand dollars to the pan has
been obtained. As that amount of
gold would weigh 280 pounds it
must have been a pretty strong man
with a pretty big pan to wash it
out. ,
The war between Turkey and
Greece is now fairly on, and it
grieves us to note that the fortunes
of war seem to be with the Turkish
armies. The interference of the
powers of Europe may put a stop
to the war at any time now.

The railroad commissioners are
now making their semi-annual
junket over the railroads of the
state. Every time one sees this
board go flying by on one of their
special trains it makes his righteous
wrath rise against the legislature
that was pledged to abolish this
state nuisance, and then wilfully
betrayed the people.
