YAQUINA BAY WORK. Reasons Why Contracts Have Not Been Advertised For. (Oregonian.) J. B. Maya, of Elk City, writes to the Oregonian that a great many people in that section are anxious to hear some thing about the letting of the contract for the improvement of Yaquina bay, He says that they have been informed that Captain Fiak, United States engi neer, had re?iv1 th unproved specifi cations from Washington some time sinpe, with orders to let the contract im mediately. He also aeka whether the letting of the contract must necessarily await the appropriation of the money for the same. The answer to this query is found in a Washington report to the Oregonian, published yesterday, which is to the ef fect that though the contract has been authorized and the secretary of war will probably make it, it is possible that ap propriations for this improvement will be very hard to obtain. There is a very strong impreasion among men who han dle the appropriations of money in the house, that there is no good reason why the improvement at Yaquina should be made. It is believed from the reports that have been made that the expendi ture of 11,000,000 at this point is not warranted by the commerce, either now or in prospect. As to the return of the approved spec ifications, Lieutenant Potter, United States engineers, who had charge of the government work on the coast of Oregon, sent the specifications for the improve ment of Yaquina bay to Washington some three months since, and asked for authority to advertise for proposals for the work. Authority to advertise was received, dependent on the specifications being approved, and, in' order to hasten matters, Lieutenant Potter prepared and sent Eastern engineering journals a copy of the advertisement to be inserted. The specifications, however, did not come back, and Lieutenant Potter, not being notified as to whether they had been ap proved or not, was obliged to recall his advertisements. Finally he was ordered to join the expedition to the Philipines, and up to the time of his departure the specifications had not been returned and he naturally supposed that in the bustle of war preparations they had been laid aside till more important matters could be attended to. When Lieutenant Pot ter went away some four weeks since, he turned office and matters in Charge to Captain Fisk. For the past three weeks or more Cap tain Fisk has been at the mouth of the Columbia superintending the planting of submarine mines and torpedoes. On his return to Portland at noon yesterday the approved specifications for the im provement of Yaquina bay were on his desk awaiting him. As he has not yet completed planting mines for the pro tection of the Columbia, he will have to finish this work before he can give at tention to the Yaquina bay contract, and before advertising for proposals for the work will probably find it necessary to go over the specifications prepared by Lieutenant Potter; so just when the con tract about which Mr. Mays and others are so anxious, will be advertised, can not definitely ascertained. Whenever the Oregonian has any thing to say about the Yaquina improve ment it always works in that old, worn, threadbare tale about it being so hard to get money for this appropriation, etc. For the benefit of the Oregonian we will say that we will waive all that stuff in the future. We will admit that the Ore gonian will publish all that stuff, and in the future let the Oregonian publish the news item only, and leave all that other stuff out, and we will consider it pub lished. We know that it is the desire of the Oregonian to publish all such stuff. I. L. Patterson, of Salem, has been appointed collector of customs at Portland, and his nomination has been confirmed. This is the office for which T. T. Geerwai a candid ate, and the one he refused to give np until the appointment was made, claiming that he was not a miscel laneous candidate. This appoint ment is characterized by the press and people of the state generally as a most disgraceful one. To Cn Constipation Forever.

The Annual Teachers Institute of Lincoln county convened at the school house in this place last, Wed nesday. The Institute was called to order by Supt. Irvin, and Prof. L. K. Brooks was chosen secretary. The following committee on Pro gram was chosen: Miss Eva Akin, Mrs. Denlinger and Dr. J. A. Townsend. After some discussion the Institute adjourned to meet at 2 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION. Report of the committee on pro- gram was read and adopted, after which the song America was ren- dered. The subject of Grammar was then introduced, and Dr. Townsend followed with an interesting talk on Derivations. A very able pa per on Local History, setting forth methods valuable for maintaining regular attendance was read by Mrs. N. Hill Denlinger. The law regarding the sale of to bacco to minors was read and ex plained by Attorney Denlinger. After a somewhat protracted dis cussion the conclusion was reached that a complaining witness and a healthful, public sentiment is all that is necessary to put a stop to the sale of tobacco to minors. Institute adjourned to next day. THURSDAY SBSsion. The work of the day was begun by able explanations of methods of recitations in U. S. History, by N. Hill Denlinger, followed by a com prehensive and interesting talk on the essentials to be emphasized in the teaching of history by State Supt. Itwin. A very comprehensive paper on grade work was read by Miss Eva Akin. The afternoon session opened at 2 p. m., by singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic. After the song the subject of Penmanship was introduced by Prof. Bethers, and a lively discussion was had. Dr. Townsend then read an able and interesting paper on Chemis try. Superintendent Irwin gave a lecture on English in the Public School which was listened to with marked attention by all and was greatly enjoyed. Tne institute is still in progress at the school house today, and will close its labors this evening. The sessions have been interesting and instructive, and the teachers in at tendance will be greatly benefitted by the work done. The teachers enrolled are as fol lows: Olive Logan, Newport; Jessie M. Wilson, Yaquina; Eva E. Ewing, Toledo; Mrs. R. E. Darnell, Tole do; L. K. Brooka, Toledo; J. F. Worrell, Yaquina; Emma Wright, Yaquina; L. S. Buoy, Philomath; Geo. B. McClusky, Toledo; Geo. Bethers, Newport; Minnetta Ma gers, Ona; J. A. Townsend, New port; N. Hill Denlinger, Toledo; Mamie M. McCluskey, Toledo; Ralph H. Carson, Toledo; Jessie Bouy, Morrison. Mr. P. Ketcham of Pike City, Cal., says: "During my brother') late sickness from sciatic rheuma tism, Chamberlain's Pain Balm was the only remedy that gave him any relief." Many others have testi fied to the prompt relief from pain which this liniment affords. For ' sale by O. 0. Krogstad Druggist "B.PEAIB8, R.K. AMBERS, Consul. Clerk.
