FLORENCE MOTES.
Fi.ounM K,Oct. 2:!, 18;H.
The Florence public school
starts up on Monday Nov. 2nd,
with T. M. Martin a principal.
The schools interests are rapidly
developing here.
The ex union soldiers, in and
about Florence, are talking of
starting a Post of Grand Army at
Horenee, they could probably get
from thirtv to fort members, at
present.
The run of salmon this fall has
been very disappointing, to fisher
men and cannery men. mere
have not been more than one
sixth as large a run as heretofore.
The force of Chinamen at the can
nery are idle a good portion of the
time.
Preparation for the jetty work
goes right along. A pile-driver and
stone scows are oemg prepareo.
Mr. Lyle the superintendent, seems
to be very efficient in the govern
ment work. While he is unas
suming in manner he drives things
right along as tnougn ne wen
working tor bimseit.
Tim weathnr has been deliehtfu
for the last three weeks, no Lette
time could have been selected for
those seeking pleasure "down by
the sea." But while the weather
has been so tine the "harbor bar
lias been moanin." Indeed it is
hard to see why there should be
suc'i rough breakers on ihe beach
and no apparent cause.
Florence is now a rapidly grow
ing town. Many houses have been
built during the past summer.
Great avenues are cut through the
f re3ts back of town, which shows
that somebody hai financial faitii
in the future of the town. It is 110
very uncommon thing to see our
river steamers loaded with immi
grants and their covered wagons,
coming to find homes in the
Siuslaw country.
The Ocean Steamer that brings
us our supplies, and takes our
froduce away is happily "The
Chance." Its a chance when she
comes in, varying in intervals of
from two weeks 10 two months.
The people of the Siuslaw are
thoroughly sick of these chance
steamers, ami will soon build one
to be owned by .he merchtnts and
farmers cf Lane count v. The uro-
ject of building such a boat is tak
ing on shape and will soon
materialize.
Our new light house, on Heceta
pronounced He see tab Head,
is to be 17 miles north of Florence,
and the situation one of the most
lovely on the I'aci fic Coa t. A fi tie
road is being made from Florence
to that point and when done
will form cni cf ihe mos' roman ic
drives imaginable. Sometimes the
way will le along the level reach,
and then it will rir-e by gentle
ascent to an elevation ol 50 J feet
or more overlooking the great Pa
cific Ocean. Hundreds and hun
dreds of sea lions are to be eeen,
enjoying themselves on the locks
by the eea or disporting themselves
among the toaming breakers.

in June and have made the 10 000

Hirsch's secon 1 visit to Portland
since he was appointed by Presi
dent Harrison.
Mr. Ilirsch has been traveling
through Europe aud has sp-nt
much time in Swi rcrland He
left Turkey some lujntlu before
the late political events had trans
pired there and so is not fully ac
quainted with them.
Mr. Hirsch is very reticent con
cerning l' uropean complications,
and especially the ikmuics ol Rus
sia and Turkey. It is impost Me
for him to say much, as it might
be construed as favoring oue
country or the other. As minuter
of a great country his attitude
would necessarily cairy much
weight.
Trade with the United States,"
said Mr. Hirtch, "is pi iucipally in
opium and wool. These, with
rugs, carpets, etc., of Oriental
manufacture, are also the princi
pal exports to European countriee.
Turkish trade with ihe United
States has develops.! wonderfully
since lliJ Centennial in 187i, at
Philadelplra. Before that time it
was comparatively small."

soon after breakfast went over to

to the department of state. Heat

plunged into business.
There appeared to be no official

THE SILVER QUESTION.
A rroiK.sltloa to Hold sa Interna
tional Sliver Coatresa.
Nkw YoBK.Oct. 2t. A Washing
ton special says: "The feeling in
favor of international bimetallism
seems to be growing and to be
liiely to prevail in Eurcean cabi
nets if the leading Enrpean powers
can be convinced that the United
.states does not intend to plunge
into tree coinage in its notions.
Several gentlemen of standing
piivately agreed early in the sum
mer to make some inquiries cf
foreign financiers with a v ew to
an international agreement, and
to report the result to the president
ami secretary of the treasury with
out expense to the government.
They have discoveied so frieualy a
feeling to the use of silver in
Kmope, that they recently asked
ana obtained credentials irom our
government, showing who they
are and what their instructions
are, without having authoiity to
commit tne united States othcially
to any 1 rogramme. The fact that
these credentials have been asked
f jr is regarded bv the presideut as
a very encouraging indication ol
t'-ie feeling in England, France and
Ofruuny in regard to the remon
etization of silver. The gtnUeiuan
wt.o n aa tieen making inquir.es
would not nave aske-l lor such cre
dentials if they had not fe.'t the
tune approaching for serious nego

for they have no personal orfinan

Alfalfa Fai rains; Near the Kocklea
As the time approaches for the
World's Fair, greater interest is
being felt in the marvellous City
of the l-akes. The Cosmopolitan
Magazine has devoted 23 pag- s of
the Novemlier number to
a most interesting and exhaus
tive articleUKn Chicago from the
pen of the famous novelist, Col.
Charles King. Count Jacassy,
who spent some time on tne
ground for that purpose, and
Harry Fenr, have illustrated the
most charming fc it 11 res of the
city by twenty-eight sketches. An
article upon Alfalfa Farming in
this number, is bv John Brisben
Walker, who as the result of ten
years spent in the saddle, indirecc
superintendence of his farm
"Berkeley," one of the largest
Alfa' fa farms in Colorado, gives
the reader much valuable infor
mation in tegard to the irrigation
and curing of the wonderful plant
which is destined to become one.
of the most valuable products oi
the United S'ates. General
Sherman's letters to bis daughter,
written from the field during the
war, are perhaps the most valuable
contributions that have yet been
made to the literature of the war.
Judge Tourgee furnisnes a charm
ing story called "An Outing with
the Qtfeen of Harts." Lousie
Chandler Moulton, Commander
Crowningshield, cx-Postmaster-General
James, ate among the
other contributors. Gen. Horace
Porter's article on Militia Service
is worthy the attention of every
one interested in the National
Guard. Very curiously, but little
attention has ever been given in
the magazines to the frightful
tragedies of the Roman Am
phi theatre, which were carried oh
through centuries, and in which
the lives of hundreds of thousands
were sac rified. C. Osburn Ward,
whose book "The Aucient Lowly"
last year excited much attention,
and who has made this subject
his life work, gives an article in
the Novemlier Cosmopolitan on
the "Massacres of the Roman
Amphitheatre," an i the article is
illustrated by drawings by Dan
Beard, and from famous paintings,
covering pages ol history which
will hold the reader s closest at
