There is much newspaper talk about the Civil Seryice Commission's prose cuting members of a Virginia republi aan club in this oity for sending circu lars to Government clerks asking con tributions, to the campaign fund, but there are few people that think any thing will come out f it, for the very good reason that the club violated no law in teu ing out these circulars. The only thing so far made apparent by ihis cyclone in a tea-kettle, is that at least two of the Civil Service Com missi' ners should padlock their jaws if they hepe to escape the ridicule of the country. Secretary Noble is receiving com mendation from all quarters for his bold attack upon the cattle ring of the Cherokee outlet, and he deserves them all, for it was a courageous rtand for him to take, and it was taken against a pressure that few people outside of the Secretary's office have any conception of. Representative Perkins, of Kansas, who has been stumping Virginia for the republisans, has had anexperience that he says he is not anxious to re peat. He has been continually abused and) misrepresented by the press of the state, and to cap the climax, the proprietor of a hotel at Orange Court House compelled him to leave the house, after he had made a speech, and he had to go sjnie miles before he could get a meal. A committee of colored men from the late Baptist convention held at Indianapolis called on the President, while here, and presented the resolu tions adopted by the convention ask ing Congress to appropriate $50,000, 000 to assist the negroes of the South to go west. They also called on the Attorney Geueral in relation to recent outrages perpetrated upon colored men ui the South fi r attempting to exercise the elective franchise. Owing to the various state elections, the canvass for the Speakership of the House has been extremely quiet dur ing the past week. But after this week things will begin to get lively. The Postmaster Geueral has defi nitely settled the question of rates to be paid by the Government to the telegraph companies for transmitting official messages, which h:is been m dispute for several mouths.

Cremation is coming mere and more into vogne in Germiny in spite of the expense and certain legal d faculties which render its pcrformancp in some parts almost an impossibility. At Gotha no fewer than 100 bodies have been cremated during the present year, Quite an excitement existed at a boarding house in Glcnwood Springs, Col., the ether evening. Just as the men were eating their supper a large black bear walked in. The men all flew out of a back entrance but the cook, who picked up a cleaver and killed the bear. A poplar tree of unusual size was felled on the farm of Dr. D. U. Combs, in Utica Township, Clark Ce., Ind. , and as it struck the ground a large Hmb broke off, in the heart of whicli was found the antlers of a deer, a cow's horn and a number of curious shells.

The filet tluit good harbors are few and far between along the roast line of the Pacific ocean, en hances the importance tocominerre of every hay that by nature or artifi cial means win he made safe for vessels to enter and depart from. On the coast cf California there are only two good harbors where large, ships can enter and depart with cargoes, they are San liego and San rrancisco. On the coast of Oregon there are also two har bors where large ships can enter ami .secure outlet to the Fast by rail, they are the Columbia river ami Yaquina Hay. Miips entering the Columbia river are at theexjtenseof towage to Portland, over a hundred miles to react! railroad transportation. Ships that can go to Portland and load to their full capacity, ran enter Ya quina May and reach transcontinen tal railway connections m twenty minutes after crossing the bar. Pilot and towage cost from $(X)0 to $1000 for vessels going to Port land. At Yaquina the cost of such service would not exceed $50 for the largest vessel. A vessel of any size can lie at sea in less than thirty minutes after she easts off her lines at the railroad docks in laquina. It takes from one to three days for a vessel to get to sea from Portland. Frequently a ves sel can make the trip from Yaquina Bay to San Francisco in the time it would take to get her over the Columbia river bar. Yaquina Bay is situated in lati tude 44 deg., 40 min., 30 see., longitude 124 deg., 150 min., west, and lOo miles south of the Colum bia river and about 450 miles north of San Francisco. The United States government has recognized the importance of Yaquina Bay to the shipping and commercial interest of this coast, and is making very extensive im provements in order to deepen the water over the bar. Under the di rection of the U. S. engineer de partment, nearly $300,000 has al ready been exiended in building jetties. The government will prob ably expend $2,000,000 on the en trance before the work is finished. The jetty on the south side is al ready constructed toward the bar a distance of over 2000 feet. Work is now being pushed on the north jetty and it is expected to run this jetty out some 000 feet this season. At average high tides there is now from 2 to 24 feet of water on the bar. The deepest water on theCo- Iumbia river bar only M0 feet, ot thirty I he engineers expect to leet on the auuiini i!av ii:;r when the jetties are completed. The distance across the bar is i.:;!y (HH feet and the main channel run.-', al most straight from the mouth oj SUNDAY, JsOVEAiBEll JlgS- :l IsT EEAL the harl)or to sea. On the west end of Yaquina Hi lean tne government owns be tween thirty and forty acres of TJid. A short time ago it was pro jnWd to sell this land but the sec retory of war refused to approve the sale, on the ground that Ya quina Bay would soon be of such importance as a seaport that the government would be obliged to build permanent fortifications and 1 would need all the land it owned for military purposes. The bay is, inside, one and one half miles wide and about six miles long and perfectly land-locked. All the vessels on the Pacific coast could ride safely at anchor in this bay at the same time. Inside of the bar there is fmm thirty to forty-live feet of water. Yaquina river takes its rise at the summit of the Coast Range and empties into "ths bay six or seven miles from the mouth of the harbor. This river is navigable for vessels of ten feet draft for about twenty miles. IlECKXT IMPORTANT IMPKOVKMENTK. The Oregon Pacilic Railroad Company has recently purchased a large tract of land on South Beach, and a great advance has been made in projierty at Yaquina, re sulting lrom the announcement that tin; Oregon Pacific. Company proposes next summer to build a large hotel on South Beach, ami make the place the Saratoga of the Northwest coast. A motor line is to be built from Yaquina City across the upper end ot the bay to South Beach and some extensive improvements made there. A num ber of Albany men who recently invested in real estate there have refused double what they paid. ItAII.KOAI) FACILITIES. Yaquina Bay enjoys the great advantage of being the most ac cessible point on the Oregon coast. There are several places in the Coast Range through which rail roads can be constructed to this bay with easy grades and a small cost. At present the Oregon Pa cific is the only road built to the bay. 1 his road has now been in operation about live years. It is of the standard gauge, and construct ed in tne most pertect manner. The grades are easy and the road is never obstructed by snow. It is now built to a point near the sum mit of the Cascade range, that di vides Oregon about the center. About 150 miles of the road is in operation. It crosses the great Willamette Valley in the center and taps the very heart of the agri cultural region of thiB state. It connects and crosses the entire coast system of railroads of Oregon. The road is being pushed to the east as fast as men and money can do the work. By the coming fall it will reach the great plain coun try in Oregon east of the Cascade range, and inside ot two years it will connect and cross the Union Pacific railroad near the mouth of the Malheur river and connect with a through eastern line. When completed to that point it will be the shortest line oi railroad built from Chicago to the Pacific ocean. The road crosses the main line of the Southern Pacific at Albany, eighty miles east oi Yaquina Bay. liTEAMSUII LINKS, ETC. !'h..: Oregon Development Com IN THE CHOICE INSIDE BUSINESS PROPERTY We mkae a specialty of city residences and inside business property, and men with means, who mean business, and want a good loeationither improved or otherwise, will find it to their advantage to call upon us.
