Miss Christopher is a teacher of shorthand in the Portland business college, of which Miss Crosno is a graduate, and was her special in structor. She returned to Port land Saturday. Captain W. W. Harts, United States engineer, returned last even ing from a ten days' tour of in spection of the government works along the coast. He visited Ya quina bay, Siuslaw, Coos bay and the works on the Coquille river. At Yaquina bay Captain Harts reports the troublesome rock in the channel on which work has been in progress for three months, is no longer an element of danger. This rock, which is pinnacle in form, was about 60 feet 'long and 12 feet in width. Through the use of about two tons of dynamite this rock has been cut down so that there is now about 13 feet of water over it at low tide, and 20 and- 21 fert at high tide. Work upon the obstruction was stopped by thestormy weather, but will be resumed next season in the event that further work is needed. The jetty at Yaquina bay, instead of being beaten down, as was reported, was found in good order. Although some of the false work has been torn down, as was expected, the rock work, which alone is of value, is in excellent shape, and up to the required level its entire length. From sea faring men, who make Yaquina bay, Cap tain Harts learned that the govern ment works at this place could not give better satisfaction. Portland Telegram. Number 32. LOVELY SILKT2. g If you haven't seen Siletz, you haven't seen it all. The Leader force paid its first visit to the Siletz Agency Sunday and Monday. The weather was perfect, and the beauti ful landscape and handsome build ings made a scene worthy of the brush of the world's greatest artist. A trip of inspection through the ' several apartments of the boarding school, under the escort of Mrs. M. E. Peairs, the efficient matron, and' Prof. Bert R. Betz, the able chief instructor, were appreciated.. Th hospital was also visited. Miss E. M. Dyer, the skillful nurse in charge, stated that no patients were then in the hospital. Fred Cham--bers has been there for treatment recently, but he is reported among the convalescents. Everything' about these buildings is conven iently arranged and kept scru pulously clean. The employes all seemed to be busy and emiing their salaries, but, as we intimKted' befote, business is a little slow at the hospital. Agent Buford, the man at the helm, sat in his office with becoming patience and dignity while numerous citizens appeared before him to make all their wants and wishes known which were not a few. Clerk Brown plied be tween the office and the commissary in answer to requisitions for sup plies and did more or less wrestling with figures. Dr. Daniel was at his post, ready for calls, of course, but not soliciting. Samuel Center, the industrial teacher, was oversee ing and assisting in making re pairs to the water system. The beautiful, fertile valley alone seemed to be lazy in spots. It did seem that more of those line farms should be in a high state of cultiva tion and doing business every month in the year, but perhaps that is impracticable. Siletz is also very attractive socially. It abounds in sweet singers, fine musical instru ments and royal entertainers. Good music was a feature of the Sunday services conducted by Rev. E. II. Bryant, who is doing good work in that field. Just now, when the eyes of thousands of people in the east are turning toward Oregon, we feel it to be our solemn duty to again remark: If you don't see Siletz, you don't see it all. Nearly all the vacant land surrounding the Agency has recently been taken by homesteaders men who are at tracted by the beautiful Siletz river, the fertile soil, the grand timber in fact, the almost limitless re sources of the region that must be seen and. studied to lie appreciated. . Until further notice my appoint ments will be as follows: First Sunday of the month, Eddyville; second and fourth Sundays, Toledo; third Sunday, Yaquina, in th? evening. Fifth Sundays at Toledo.
