YAQUINA BAY IMPROVEMENTS.! Of Oregon Stone. Secretary Alger Says that Work Will Begin at Once. Representative Tongue received the following letter from the war department last Monday. It is dated August 6, and signed by Secretary Alger: "I have the honor toacknowledge the receipt of a letter signed by yourself and Senator McBride and Hon. W. R. Ellis, asking the rea son for delay in letting the contract for the improvement of Yaquina bay, Oregon, as authorized by the river and harbor act of June, 1896. and urging that the improvement be begun at the earliest practicable date. Replying thereto, I beg to inform you that about the time the plans for this work were approved, May 9, 1898, the officer in charge of the district was ordered to report to San Francisco to accompany the first troops to the Phillipines. He transferred his duties to Major Fisk, who took them additional to his own, but who was obliged at that time to proceed to the mouth ot the Colum bia river, where he has been for the past two months supeiintending the construction of batteries and arranging the submarine mine de fenses. As Major Fisk has no military assistant he has been obliged personally to do the practi cal work, and has not bad time to attend to the Yaquina bay improve ment. I have, however, this day directed that the work be advertised without further delay." . . Pool Slough Jottings. Fishing season is now in lull blast. Joseph Schirmer has returned Irom the Columbia river, where he has been working at his old trade, and will jotn his partner, Al. Taylor, in the fall fishing. Mr. T. Huntsucker . has been helping W. White (who ' has 'been troubled with rheumatism) in the bay field, and we find that "Teed" is a first-rate worker, if he is small in stature. i. Last week two young men drove over to Seal Rocks, taking with them a load of furs (Ferrs). Mr. Hanlin, of Beaver creek, with his son, Johnny, has been visiting friends here. Mr. Hanlin is an old soldier, and can tell many interesting war stories. We hope he will come again and make a longer stay. Tiixicum. BOLD BRAZENRY. "Such things are always to be expected in time of war." These were the words uttered by stone should come from the Snake . R. A. Alger, the secretary 01 war river quarries in Idaho. A great when his attention was forcibly cry was ranseu from all over Oregon i called to the scandalous outrages because Oregou stone bad been ; that had been and were still being I When the bids for building the 1 custom house at Portland were called for it was stipulated that the discriminated against, and so great was the pressure brought to bear that the department has ordered that Oregon stone be used instead of Idaho stone. The contractor has been looking the field over to select the best stone, and has been inspecting the quarries of Lincoln county. The probabilities are that the stone will be taken from this coun ty for the building. The stone at Pioneer quarry has been fully test ed and found to meet all the re quirements, aud the quarry is open and 'eady for the delivery of the stone. The stone from the quar ries of this county will make a su perior building. About one month ago my child, which is fifteen months old, had an attack of diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such remedies as are usually given in such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and was having about twenty -five operationsof the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that unless it soon ob tain relief it would not live. Chatn berlains's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy was recommended, and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by its continued use a complete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy. C. L. Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer Co., W. Va. For sale by O. O.

Mr. John Mathias, a well known stock dealer of Pulaski, Ky., says: "After suffering for over a week with flux, aud my physician hav ing failed to relieve me, I was advised to try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and have the pleasure of stating that half of one bottle cured me."

Several prominent republicans of the state who are quite close to the governor, politically, assert that such a session will be called. The pretext being put forward is that there is not time in the forty days r the regular session to attend to all of the business that will proper ly come before the legislature. The real object of such an extra session would be, however, to have a sen ator elected to succeed Mitchell while Lord is yet governor, so that he could use the influence of the perpetrated by army contractors and the horde of human scavengers that followed in their wake. When he was shown that the clothing con tractors had failed in almost every item to live up to their contracts, when he was shown that food con tractors had vilely and criminally furnished food not fit for any human to eat, but had gotten their contract price for first-class supplies, when he had been shown that transport ation companies, medical supply contractors and almost every con tractor in connection with the sup ply and forwarding department of the army were engaged in a huge swindle, and were open and bold about it, he sneeringly and careless ly turned it off by saying that such things always happened in time of war, and not a single one of these base auu unscrupulous robbers were made to feel this displeasure or to disgorge one cent of their gildings and stealings. Why should they be punished? Does anyone doubt that there was some sort of a "stand-in" with this execresence that occupies the position of secretary of war? Yes, such things are to be ex pected and always happen, especial ly when men of the Alger type get in control. But who is to be held responsible for the lives lost by the eating of rotten food, lack of medi cine, lack of clothing, lack of shel ter, and every outrage and crime that has been perpetrated upon our brave boys in the Santiago cam- Let ti e righteous indigna TOLEDO COMniSSION HOIJSp 1. 1-. riou, manager.

Bigget Offer Ye The cry that is going up from a great many people for the retention of the Philipine Islands is made without due considerations by many of our people. In the mat ter of the retention of captured ter ritory our government should make baste very slowly. When war was declared by the United States it was made a part of the declaration that it was not to be a war for ex tention of territory. It was to he a war for humanity, and such a war was sacred. The war has brought to us the island of Porto Rico, and will eventually bring to us Cuba. But these territories are in the American hemisphere, and are properly subject to government from their own or adjacent people. With the Philipines it is different. They are populated by a half sav age population that are wholly dif ferent from ours in every essential that goes to make up a govern ment. They are remote from us, and would be oniv a burden. Their location is on the wrong side of the Pacific. The retention of these Asiatic islands would only emproil us in endless quarrels and bicker ings with the European powers that are grabbing after territory. It would forever tear down and de molish the barrer of the Monroe doctrine, for it would stop us from crying down European conquest in the Americas. The horde of half wild savages tuat go to make up the population of these islands would only entail an endless ex pense to govern. A free American port at Manila is as far as we should go with the Philipines. ' Evorvbody Bays So.
