Graves, the Newport con fectionery dealer, spent yesterday fore noon in this city on his way home, and In speaking of the improvements planned in the popular seaside resort in which ho lives, stated that impor tant changes were tinder way. An im provement committee has been ap pointed by the citizeus of Newport, he said, Banker Leese of Corvallis, S. G Irvin and Dr. Minthorn being at the head of it, for the purpose of canvass- ing the situation aud securing the building of the railroad around the bay from Yaqaina City to Newport, or any other way that a railroad could be se cured into the place. The purpose of the committee is to show what Newport can offer in the way of business for the railroad, and united efforts of the peo pie will be made to secure the rail con nection with the outside world. The town is to be improved in many ways. Better streets are to he made, aud, above all, a sewerage system is to be built. This has been definitely decided tipon, and work on it will begin at ouce The place has been criticized on ac count of the lack of facilities of this kind, but Newport will try and merit no criticism on this score in future. The sewerage system will not extend to Nye Creek, but at that place septic tanks will be constructed and every thing possible to safeguard the health of the residents and summer visitors will be done. It is expected that most of the contemplated improvements will be provided before the' summer colony arrives. The coming summer is expected to be one of the beet in the history of that popular seaside resort. And in order to provide for the amuse meut of the visitors, the people of that place will secure a band and orchestra, provide steamers and boats of all kinds for excursionists, and generally take care of the summer guests. The bnsi ness houses of the place are arranging to supply the summer guests with everything possible for their comfort aud enjoyment, an J hope to make, the name of Newport synonymous with pleasure and comfort.

Whittlesey of Newport preached two interesting sermons iu the M. E. church last Sunday, but the congrega tions might have beeu much larger without drawing heavily upon Toledo's population.

If the yield is normal it will bo the banner crop of the valley. Frank Stadiuger, who Is proprietor of Hotel Lincoln and manager of John Kenttd's mercantile busiuess, wears an unusually genial smile these days. It is not caused by a sudden increase in business, but by the fact that he is the father of a new buby that arrived at his house a few days since. Upon complaint of his wife, Dick Johnson was arrested last Thursday for assault and battery. The trial took place" before Justice Robert Del'oe on Monday.

A POPULAR CANDIDATE. One of the most popular candidates for United States Senator and who has warm supporters in every part of the! state is- H. M. Cake of Portland. In announcing his candidacy, Mr. Cako presents the following platform : " I believe the public service corpora tions should be subject to governmental regulation and control. The nower of regulation should bo vested in tho Interstate Commerce Commission, and should bo exercised with due regard to the respective rights of tho people and the corporations. Trusts or combinations of capital or ganized for the purpose of controlling the utilities and necessities of tho couutry, to the exclusion of legitimate competition, aru contrary to public policy, in derogation to the rights of the people, and should come under the ban of the law. I believe iu preserving the dignity of our American citizenship and tho free dom of the laboring elates of this country, aud hence I am opposed to the admission of the coolie labor of China, aud the undesirable classes ol" Continental Europo. "The growing commerce of Oregon demands the deepening of tho bar of the Columbia River, the construction of tho Dalles-Colilo caual, tho opening of the upper Columbia, tho improve ment of Yaquina Bay, Coos Bay and Tillamook harbors, the dredging of tho Willamette and the Government owner ship of the Locks at Oregon City, and Federal appropriations should be made to secure these improvements. "A tariff should be maintained for the protection of American industries and American labor. Where, however, the necessity for protection is removed by tho growth and development of a particular industry, the tarilf should bu modified to meet the changed con ditions. The reclamation of the arid lauds is oue o.f the pressing needs of the North west, and a condition to its greater de velopment, and tho efficiency of the reclamation service should bo one of the first cares of tho Federal Govern ment. "Tho Federal Constitution should be amended to provide for tho election o'l United States Senators by direct vote of the people. "I am in fuvor of the establishment of tho purcols post." Popular and Picturesque. The only thing necessary to make tho Denver and Rio Grande the most pop ular, as it has over been known tho most pleasant and most picturesque way to cross the continent, has come about.
