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."

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.

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.

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,

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."

Extra Session Talk.
It is beginning to be quite cer
i..ui. iuLit Vvwi we aa extra ses
sion of the legislature convened by
Gov. Lord, probably in November.
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-

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.
