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.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
The Annual Gathering of the Teach
ers of the County Well Attended.
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

Wilson, Yaquina; Eva E. Ewing,
Toledo; Mrs. R. E. Darnell, Tole

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
