Tll-ti UUEGU' SIATESMAN Fi 111) A V, JUNK 17. 1881 YYILLAMRTTE UNIVERSITY. Graduating: Exercises of the Senior Clans Concert ami Reception of the Musical Ahuuuie. Yesterday morning the chapel of the university was filled with an audience assembled to witness the graduating ex ercises oi the seuior class, composed of ten mem!ers. The floral decorations were pretty and above the platform was hung in ivy "Class of 1SS7." Promptly at 10 o'clock the orchestra, consisting of Prof. II. Diamond, violin, Prof. J. M. Cootuer, comet, George W. Mack, clarionet, liiehard ltyley, trom bone, and Alfred Levy, piano, struck tip a march "Greeting to Ems," and the graduating class, professors and partici pants upon the program me marched in and took their seats upon the platform. After prayer by Kev. N. Doane, "Medley No. o," a quartette, was sung by Misses Willis and"' Cox and Messrs. Starr and Piper. The selection was warmly ap plauded. The first oration was "Obligation Cm mensurate with Possibilities," by Vru. Deweese. Mrs. IVweese's effort was original, able, and impressive. "As the Twig is Bent, the Tree Inclines," by Miss Florence Cunningham, was a very credit able essav, nicely read and highly appre ciated. The "Mazurka in D Minor," Kubenstein. a piano solo, was finely played by Miss Frankie Jones. . The essay of Miss Katherine Dearborn on Woman was very finely written and delivered with perfect enunciation. Jonathan Swayne chose as his subject, "Ambition," which he handled iu an able manner and delivered most satis factorily. Balfe's "Coma into the Garden, Maude," was beautifully sung by Benson Starr. Mr. Starr's tine voice showed to great advantage in this selection. An encore was demanded, but owing to the length of the programme, declined. Miss Bertha Cunningham delivered in an easy manner her essay "On , sesame," a production that wns praiseworthy. John O. Goltra del-vJ effectively au oration upon the "i.ueets of Labor," in the preparation of which he had appar ently spent some time. His effort was a laudable one. The overture "Goldea Helmet" by the orchestra closed the morning's pro gramme. The music of the orchestra was especially fine and was listened to with attention. AFTERNOON SESSION. Again at 2 o'clock the chapel was filled, and the commencement exercises con tinued. The class entered to the music of an excellently played eight-band piano selection "King's Hussars, March Brili iante," Leonora, by Misses Dalrymple, Moores, Ereyman, and Monies. The oration of Samuel Holmes, "The Problem," was a very thoughtiul produc tion. Mr. Holmes treated of the problem of future government, when populations of states are overcrowded. The effort was an excellent one. "The Thought of the Age," an essay by Miss Nellie Boise, was very fine. Not only was the compo sition exceptionally good, but the deliv ery was happy. Benson fctarr added to his laurels of the morning, won in his splendidly sung vocal solo by an oration, "Constancy in Labor." The subject was treated ably, and delivered with effect. Mrs. Strick ler's "Magnetic Waltz" song was a beau tiful selection, sung in a verv fine at vie. The address of Ir. J. M. F. Brown, of Portland, betrayed considerable culture and learning. The production was class ical and thoughtful, and not long. "Land of the Swallows," a very pretty duet, was nicely sung by Misses Hall and Hatch. The selection was keenly appreciated. The degrees were then conferred by President Van Scoy, as follows: Class ical, William I)eweese, John Owen Gol tra, Samuel Wendell Holmes, James Benson Starr, and Jonathan Swayne; scientific, Bertha Cunningham, Florence Lucretia Cunningham, and John Mark Peebles ; modem literature and art, Sarah Ellen Boise, and Sarah Katherine Dear born. Following this ceremony was the in strumental duet for two pianos, "II Tro vatore," Verdi, by Misses Goltra and Scott. Each of these ladies is well known as a fine pianist. Together they played this selection with remarkably good effect. The following prizes were announced : For excellence in study of trigonometry, Miss Minnie Frickey and Ambri Field, a gold medal each ; geometry, W. T. Itigby, a gold medal ; all three awarded by Prof. Jory ; bookkeeping, Dow, un aori'Vred dictionary, by Prof. Arnold. . TIv i jiiowing degrees were conferred : 1 osier of Arts, on Mrs. Mattie E. Jory, ;;.! Myers, of Grant's Pass; and Doe lor of Divinity upon Lev. Mr. Chamber Jiii, of Denver, Colorado. Taken as a whole, the exercises were at least as Satisfactory as any of com mencement week. As this is the most interesting occasion, a great deal is ex pected, and at this time the audience was not disappointed. The class, after the performances were over, had a group picture taken by Cat terlin. It was resolved by them that a class reunion would be held in this city during commencement week of 18!X), at which time each member promised to he present, if alive. ALl'MSX EXTERTAINMKNT. In the evening a large audience was present, on the occasion of the exercises of the musical alumna- of the university. This was the first public entertainment the musical ahimme have given, and the very excellent maimer in which the pn-; gramme wa- render! gives the u-r ir ance ttiat hereafter tins will be one of : the most eujoyabie occasions of com mencement. The orchestra, the same as in the morning, witii the exception of A. Wain, second cornet, Miss Pearl Scott, pianist, opened the concert with a verv fine se lection, " Let Me Dream Again." The class oi 1H87, consisting of Miss Hallie Parrish. Miss Ldith Peiuland, Miss Ethe Byars, Miss Frances Gilbert, Miss Emma StannuB, and Miss Mamie Overboil, was then introduced in a very graceful man ner by Miss Amelia Savage, and was formally received into the alumna? organ ization by the resident, Mrs. England. Tbe address of the latter was a very ex cellent and original production, well de livered, and attended with much interest on the part of the audience. ''Homage a Haeadel' s da for two pianos, by Misses Jones and Scott, a very difficult selection, was remarkably well performed. The song by Millard, "Watting," was sunn in a very sweet voice by Mrs. Mary s. Walts. If Mrs. Walts were to remain iu Salem she would find herself in us great demand as of yore, as vocalist. The Annals by M:ss Leona Wills, were rich anil spicy, abounding in wit and hu mor. They were highly appreciated. Miss Frankie Jones' execution of Weber's "Concerto iu F Minor" was brilliant. Mis Jones' talent and ability as pianist i are so well known as to render useless ! any further words of praise. The evening s entertainment closed with a selection by the orchestra, which was enthusiastically received and encored. AM'MS.E RECEPTION. After the entertainment a numbei of ! invited guests accompanied the alumna" to the hospitable and elegant residence of ; Mrs. O. S. England, where several hours I were passed most enjoyably. A very fine : luncheon from Strong & Co.'s was serv ' ed. The orchestra was present and ad- ded mi'ch to the pleasure of the occasion. i J he guests departed at a very late hour, j inus Happily closeu a commencement I whose exercises were highly appreciated from beginning to end. HULLS AND BEAKS. The Price of Wool Forced up a Few Notches by a Bull Move ment. Talk about Wall street in New York Commercial street, Salem, Thursday saw a scene enacted that reminds one very forcibly of tiie operations on that great street, that could be paved with gold with the money that is represented there. It seems that the wool buyers of Salem had got the price up to "'2 cents, and were disposed to stop there, although these same partieF were paying 24 cents at Mc Coy, and from 23 to 24 cents in Gervais. This was a plain discrimination against Salem, which should surely be favored by those whose interests are identical with the interests of this city. A man well known in financial circles heard oi this outratre on Salem, and he concluded to play bull on a small scale. He got a number of farmers to pool their wool, (0 pounds in all, and he bought tne whole lot for 25 cents per pound. When a reporter wanted to know who bought it he was politely informed that "cash bought it." After this there was conster nation among the bears, and the price of wool took a sudden rise all along the line to 25 cents per pound. P. S. Wool is worth 25 cents per iound iu Salem. COL. CHAS. F. CEOCKEIL His Visit to Oregon, and the Impres sions Deceived of Our Country and Its Future. Col. Chas. F. Crocker, of "San Francis co, one of the principal owners and man agers of the Southern and Central Pacific railroads, and of what is said to be the richest and most powerful corporation doing business in the world, passed Sa lem Thursday on hi way home, after a visit to Oregon. He came to look out for the interests of their newly acquired line, the Oregon & California railroad, and the narrow gauge line from Portland to Dun dee. Col. Crocker expressed himself as much pleased with and somewhat surprised at the wonderful resources of this valiey. He said that we need more people, and his company will proceed to see that we get more. Cel. Crocker is a very cool headed business man ; don't talk much, but when he does talk has something to say ; a very careful man, but not airaid of the future. The identifying of the interests of this powerful company with those of this sec tion will lie worth more to us titan the most sanguine enthusiast predicts. Academy of the Sacked Heart. A very large audience was by invitation present at the academy of the Sacred heart, yesterday afternoon, to witness the graduating exercises of a class of ten, consisting of Misses Eva M. Adolph, Salem, Jessie F. Davis, Silverton, Lena F. Edris. Eugene City, Mary E. Foley, Salem, Hattie B. Luckey, Eugene City, Mary E. Mumjer, Brooks, Maggie E. Millican, Walterville, Lanecounty, IdaL. Spink, Albany, llocetta E. Smith', Salem, and Christie K. Shepherd, Washougal, W. T. The exercises commenced at 2 o'clock, and continued without interrup tion for over two and one half hours. These are uV.r very interesting occa sions. ; i.runime being varied and piea-ant. This was especially enjoyable. The efforts of Misses Mary E. Foley, Rocetta Smith, and Hattie B. Luckey, were worthy of particular mention. The "Alphabet," by twenty-six young misses, headed by Miss Lostie Dodge, was very amusing. The twenty-four-hand selec tion and operetta were also very inter esting performances. The degrees were conferred and graduates crowned by Archbishop Gross, who had lent his pres ence to the occasion. The Archbishop made a very sensible and interesting address to the class at the close of the exercises. Another Medical College. At a spe cial meeting of the Homeopathic state medical society on May 20th in Portland, Drs. A. S. Nichols, E. C. Brown and Os man Koval were apixiinted a committee to meet with Lev. J. F. Ellis, Kev. ti. II. A'kinson and Mr. G. Shindier, a conimit tc from Pacific university and Tualatin academy of Forest Grove, and discuss a proposition of the latter to establish a medical department in that city, to be un der the supervision of the medical society. Both committees were under instructions to report favorably on the matter, and have accordingly conferred and done so. An adjourned meeting of the Medical so ciety will be held on July 12th for action npon special business, and it is probable the matter of the proposed college will be brought up. A comniitte will probably be appointed to select a site for a combin ed medical college and hopita!,as it is not the intention to rely upon the local hos pitals for medical practice.

MURDER AT MeCOY. Oscar M. Keltv Kills His Wife. HE THEN SHOOTS HllISELF. The Story of a Sorrowful Event Domestic Infelicity the Cause of the Terrible Crime. On the brow of a bill about one mile southeast of the little town of McCoy, on the Oregon A California railroad in Polk county, is located one of the most beati titul homes in Oregon. A large whitf house, surrounded by evergreen trees, attracts the attention of the traveler from the first sight gained of it, perhaps sev eral miles away. This is the home of F. S. Glandon, a former resident of 'his city (his residence here having been at the second door north of Center street, on Summer, east side). This beautiful Polk county home, the sat of one of the well-to-do fanners, of whom there are many, of that county, was, on Thursday night, the scene of one of the most horrible and blood-curdling murders that it often becomes the news gatherer's duty to relate. The first news of the murder was brought to this city yesterday a little be fore noon, and the Statesman immedi ately dispatched a staff writer to the scene of tne mournful event, and the following full and reliable particulars were gleaned : In Septemlier, 18S4, Oscar M. Kelty and Clara Glandon he tne son of J.D. Kelty, one of the oldest farmers of that part of Polk county were joined in the bonds of wedlock, at Amity, and the issue of this wedding was two boys, one about 22 months and the other 6 months old. For the past two or three months Kelty has been clerking in the store of A. B. Mcllwain, at Albany, and, up to a couple of weeks since, no one knew but he and his wife were living happily to gether. However, on Saturday last, Mrs. Kelty arrived at her father's house, with the children, saying that Kelty had ahused her, and, to lie particular, had kicked her and beaten her, at which she left him, and came home. On Tuesday, Kelty came to his father's house, which people who have traveled the route from Zena or this city to Mc Coy will remember as the second house beyond the big hill, and was buying wool for Cohen & Co., of San Francisco, and for an Albany firm. He did not go near his wu'e. however, until on Thursday. That morning lie went to Perrydale on business. Although not a habitual drinker, Kelty did occasionally touch liquor, and when in his cups be came very morose and sullen, ami oiten cruel. While in Perrydale lie called on Harry Glandon.a blacksmith, and brother of bis wife, asking him : "is father (re ferring to Mr. Glandon) at home?" On being answered in tiie negative, be in quired: "Is Clara at home?" Glandon resixnided, " Yes, she's there." .Nothing was thought of this until on Thursday night, a littie after nine o'clock, the Glandon tamil, who had retired for the night, were startled at hearing a loud knock on the front door, followed by Kelty inquiring for his wife. She came to the door and iuvited Kelty into tiie parlor. She was dressed in a loose flow ing calico gown, and bore her child at her breast iu her arms. Just above the parlor slept Mr. Kline, a hired manand he reports hearing the following, after Kelty entered the parlor: Kelty "Will you live with me .Clara?'' She, replying, "No, I won't. He, then in an excited tone; "You won't, won't you?" and the report of two pistol shots in quick succession rang out on the still night air, followed by fall. Mrs. Glandon was the first to reach the parlor door, and the sight that met her eyes was one of horror. Lying on the floor was the inanimate form of her daughter, still clasping her babe in her arms, while on his knees, apparent1' arising, with one hand on the floor, the other grasping a 44-calib re Dragoon re volver, which he pointed at her, but which dropped from his hands, he not having strength enough remaining to tire it, was the murderer of his wife. The mother ran with her younger daughter, Lizzie, aged IS, into tiie kitchen. Kline, who had come down stairs, then ran into the parlor, but Kelty had escaj ed from the house. , The attached dia gram shows the ground plan of the front of tbe house, in which the shooting took place : RT1 B O . c c -a 1 r I A Hall. B Parlor. C Sitting room. I D D Doors. K Where Mrs. Kelty fell. F Piano. d Center table. II Piano stool (upset when room was entered ;. I Where Keltv stol wie-n he shot Mrs. K. Kline, immediately on entering the rooin, raised Mrs. Keity, but her breath only fluttered once after he reached her. She was found with her arms about her babe, with her hands clasped as though in the attitude of prayer, and it is likely she dropjied to her knees when she saw Kelty go for his pistol. The ball entered her head on the left side, just above the ear, barely penetrating tiie brain, ranging directly downward, and entering the left breast just above the nipple. The hair on ?he child's head was burned bv the iHjwder, and the bullet barely missed its head, and its face bears pow der marks. Kelty immediately turned the pistol toward his breast, intending to shoot himself in the heart. However, the ball niiswtl its mark by a very slight distance, entering near the ieit nipple, and coming out at the bottom of tho t-hnuldor blade. A messenger was at once dispatched to Ed Hatch's, from where tl alarm was rapidly communicated to the people of McCoy, and at once a paity was made up to search fur Kelty. Word was also sent to I larry Glandon, at Perrydale, and he arrived home at about ::10 a. m. On entering the barn, he heard some one say, anil renat the third time, "Who's there?" Harry hastened to the house, saying, "Oscar's in the barn." A crowd at once started out there, but ho bud escap ed. However, his track was plainly vis ible through the dew-wet glass, and he was overtaken at Mr. Alexander's farm, about a mite and a half from tbe scene of the murder, and within hall a mile of bis father's house. 1 h was lying on a sofa before the tire, and us his pursuers entered, said : "It will uli lie over in a ftw minutes, hoys." However, bis coat was iinhigtoiK'd, mid lit wound dressed, lit- was then taken to his bio' her s house at 7 o c!o -k yes terday morning, and there Sheriff Graves, of Polk county, placed him un der arrest, and put a guard over him. The writer passed Kelty's at about six o'clock last evening, and Kelty's physician said he thought Kelty would not die from the effects of his wound. Several times Kelty resjvonded to inter rogations as to the cause of the murder, by saying, "I don'! know." O. G. Shnrt lefT said to him, "Oscar, you must have been crazy." He replied, "I guess 1 wm." Kelty is 2S years of ago, and was born at the present home of his father. His wife was 2"' years of age. One thing strange now , is the failure of the search ers to find the pistol. He pur, based the cartridges in Perrydale. and on arriving at McCoy called up H. K. agent T. J. Graves and asked to Ik allowed to enter the depot, as he wanted to get into his trunk, w hich was there. From this trunk be took the pistol, loaded it und tired one chamber from tiie depot platform to try it. This was about S o'clock. Coroner Kiikpatrick, of Dallas, was summoned, and an inquest was held. Ir. Kirkpatrick also proiied for the ball, but without success. Following is the verdict of the coroner's jury : State of Oregon. Polk county, ss. We, the jury empuuneled to inquire into the cause of the death of Mrs. Clara Kelty, after hearing the evidence, find that 'she came to her death by a pistol Bhot in the hands of O. M.

The entire country surrounding McCoy is wild over the event w hich has cast such a pall of sadness over two homes. The jieopie there seem to lie largely, ii not almost wholly, with the murdered woman, and Kelty's chances of a quick trial were consi lured good for a while. Plain Mckdek. The coroner's jury of Spokane county, VV. T., has been exam ining into the murder of Frank Teller, some ten days since. It appears that Teller was beaten to deatii with a club, lnitween his houne and the gate. A gun covered with blood was found lying very nar his body, evidently either placed tiiere to give the ernpression that the de ceased had committed siiicide or that he was making resistance with the gun. It was very evident to the jury that Mrs. Teller did not commit the murder unas sisted. Mrs. Tcher and John Dugan, her brotle-r, are the only knowr witnesses to the tragedy. Hit story is that she shot her husband in self defense. Dugan's testimony is scattering and unsatisfac tory. The woman wa humid over for murder in the lirst degree, an 1 tiie man in ? 151 Ml bonds. In his neighborhood the murdered man bore the reputation of be ing a quiet and upright iii.iu. A mystery surrounds the murder which has not been cleared tin. The Meiiama l'.i:u(i!C. Kor some years residents near Mehuma have been en deavoring to secure favorable action by both the Marion county and Linn county commissioners' courts in ordering the construction of a bridge across the San tiam at that place. Tnere was a bridge across tbe river at that ioint once, but it w ashed out years ugo, and no definite steps toward building one have been taken since. The Marion county court has been w illing to build one, but Linn county hitherto has refund to contribute her share. A day or two since, however, the court adjourned to Mehuma to view the site of tiie propped bridge, and ex pected to meet the Marion county com missioners there. Tne latter, however, went down to Champoeg yesterday on bridge business. It is to be hojied that Linn county can be brought to s- the need of a bridge at Meiiama, and con tribute tow ard its construction. As Ai.Aitvt. Last night, about !i:30 o'clock, a bright blaze was seen to flash up from a building just back of the China houses on the south side of State street. An alarm was sounded anil the depart ment responded iu short order, Capitals getting first water from the plug in front of their house. The building which Was in flames was a wooden structure, about twenty feet high and of dimensions six by ten feet, and was ued as a sort of dry house. The conflagration was extin guished without any trouble. The China men who occupy the buildings near were greatly scared, and began to move their baggage across the street. They state that tiie fire must have lieen set, as no fire has lxen in the building for some days. So this is the second time within three days that an incendiary has called the department out. CoI'nty Cot icr Matt .. -The county commissioner's court has fixed the dif ferent bounties on scalps of animals hitherto paid to the following figures: Punther or cougar, f5 ; lear, ; wild cat or catamount, $2; wolf or coyote, 15; musk rats, 1(J cents. The number of scalps which has been coining in lately ha been such a draw on the treasury that the commissioners have decided to take this step, thinking that these lowered prices were a sutlicient induce ment to hunters to try to clean out all depredatory animals.

Some IiiM tors That Would lie Wiser if They Knew More A Novel Commitment. There arrived in this city on Friday evening J. A. I.invillu, from Crook coun ty, w ho had in charge his wife, an insane woman. He took her out to tlm asylum and applied to have her received as a pa tient there, upon the certificate of a phy sician of Crook county. Following is u copy of the certificate. To the county judge of Woseo county The Dalles, Oregon : "I, Ir. C. Matmis, practicing medicine in Antelope and vi cinity, do hereby certify that I, on the 7th day of June, 1HS7, at the residence of Mrs. K. Maupin on Trout creek, Onnik county, separate frum any other medical practitioner, personally examined Mrs. Mary Klizalieth Linville, wife of J. A. Linvilln, of Pony creek, Crook county, Oregon, and that the said Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Linville is a person of unsound mind, and a person to I'" taken proHr charge of and detained under care and treatment. This opinion 1 have formed from the facts indicating insanity observ ed by myself. C. Masnis, M. I). Antelope, Wasco Co., Or., June 8. This was subscribed and sworn to Im fore a notary public. Mr. Mannis told Mr. Linville that his certificate was the only thing necessary to obtaid admis sion for his iiiHane wife into the asylum. The certificate was no lu'tter than a visiting card, and Dr. Josephi refused to admit her. She was brought back to the city, and yesterday hail the proper examination liet'ore County Judge T. C. Shaw, assisted by two phy sicians and the prosecuting attorney. She was promptly adjudued insane und committed, and was yesterday taken out to the asylum by the proper officer, a deputy sheriff, and received there as a patient. The snperiiiteiuhmt of the asy lum has no legal authority to receive a patient unless accompanied with the projier commitment pamrs ; but he might have given this unfortunate woman u room until the proer pajK-rs were fur nished, the writer thinks, w ithout seri ously interfering w ith the dignity of tbe state. However, the superintendent acted entirely as the law intends and di rects. This woman is IU years old. an.' is the mother of nine children. She i. -iffer-inc from female troubles, and tin. is the cause of her insanity. The exjRMiseB cost Marion county not less than $:!!), but she will no doubt lie reimbursed by Crook county. This Dr. Mannis, and ull the other Dr. Munuises of this state, would nave Hxr unfortunates trouble if they would read the law, and not attempt to have insane jeop!e entered as patients into the asy lum upon their worthless certificates. THE EAILUolT) "COMMISSION". It Sends Letters to the State (I range and the Oreg-nn Pacific What the Commission Will lo. Tne railroad commission met Saturday at the state capitol for the transaction of regular business. The board occupied most of its time in answering correstiond ence and looking alter routine business. The board sent a letter to the secretary of the state grange, in answer to a com munication sent it, recommending that it go ahead and investigate supposed overcharges, etc., on part of raihoad com panies of its own motion. The lioard an swered that, while it knew it had the power to do such, and would do ho when it seemed necessary, yet in most cases it was lietter that formal complaints be made, and for them to proceed from that bais. The following letter was sent to the manager of tn O. P. U. It. : Sai.ku, June 1 1 , J.h7. Mr. Wallis Nash, General Manager O. P.

The Vioard then adjourned to meet on June 27th, at which tune it is understood that it will consider the advisability of recommending a reduction on freight on the O. & C. from jwiiits south of Harris burg. Alter the adjournment it will visit the narrow-gauge road, for the purpise of in vestigating tiie grounds of complaints which have been made, to the effect that the road is running trains over lies that are old and unsafe. Coyote Scalps. L. S. Morin, of Yam hill county, yesterday brought into the office of the county clerk ten coyote and two wildcat scalps, and claimed the bounty H each on the first and 5 on the second. He was allowed, however, but f-"0 altogether on the coyotes und $5 on the wild cats. Morin and his brother do little else than hunt coyotes, wildcats, and other animals on which bounties are offered. Their limit extend over Marion and Yamhill counties. The reductions of the bounties will make a considerable difference in their income. Home time since a young man of this city, who be longs to a coyote club, brought to the county clerk four scalps, for which be re ceived l!2. There an; twenty members of the club, each of whom pay in H when a coyote is killed. The four coyotes, therefore, netted him from the (dub J7ii, which, added lo the !2 from the county, make flOtf for four onery coyotes. Lavish Pipes. A force of men is now busily engaged in laying iron pipes for the water company on Winter street, work having been temporarily suseioh:d on account of a lack of piping. The entire supply of pipe has arrived from San Fran cisco, and it is expected that the entire circuit will be finished by July. The new steam pump will also arrive and he I'lauea in ptUoa by July, SHEIUFEVS SALES.

The O. & C. every day places its philanthropic and gener ous principles of running a railroad U)ou r rd. The following is the latest : "The O. it C. jieopie have so far refused to make excursion rates w ith the O. P. as they did lust year. Why this action, does nut seem clear, as the trains make con nection at Albany in regular time. The ii. P. has been eomelled to put the Bentley on, and reduce the fare for the round trip to one dollar less than laHt year. The first trip of the Bentley dis closed active efforts on the part of the O. & C. and O. K. t"c N. Co. to discourage travel to ihe bay. The next excursion from Portland lo Yaquina leaves Morri son street wharf at 1 p. m. Friday, June 17, and connects at Albany w ith the O. P. it. train." P viNKi i. AcciiiKS r. Friday night, while A.
