Our Visit to the Rock.
In answer to many questions,
chiefly as to whether we landed
upon Tillamook rock, on our visit
last Tuesday, we say: Yes; we
went upon the rock, and all over
the rock; into, through, and upon
the light house; climed the der
ricks, surveyed the site, and all
that in our imagination. The
boys are nicely quartered there.
Besides Mr. Geo. M. Eowe and
his four assistants, Mr. Ilolt is
there with eleven workmen, mak
ing in all sixteen persons on the
rock. The light house building is
a splendid stone structure, and all
the works to be seen arc a marvel
the result of a science and a
skill acquired only by the student
and the engineer. The rock stands
two miles or more from the main
land, in from ninety to one hun
dred and fifty feet depth of water
almost perpendicular walls. To
iret unon the rock from the deck
of the Astoria was about as easy
as to jump off a log. A cage,
made cf strong wood and iron
bound, slung from each of its four
cornersand swing by a huge crane,
lifts the cage from the rock and
then the donkey engine on the
steamer pulls it on board, from
mid air. Two men can conveni
ently sit in the cage, and it is
strong enough to carry all that
can be place in it. and several
tons besides. When yon are
seated in the cage and the word is
given: All right, go ahead; up
you go! Sixty,scvcnty, seventy-five
feet, into the air dangling at the
end of a rope. The immense
derrick crane swings in, and you
are upon terra firma. It i much
plcasanter on the rock than it is
on the steamer the steamer rocks
but the rock is firm. 'ou will be
surprised, greatly surprised; to see
the work which has Imjimi accom
plished there, and when you come
away you will feel thankful that
you have visited the rock
in person. It is a feat equal to
jroinjr to the top of the "Washing
ton monument, and superior to
that of ascending the dome at the
National capital. You will also
feel thankful that you got away
safe; and unless you have business
to call you back, will not care
about going again. Ai least that
is what we have been informed by
those who have been there. We
could always profit by the experi
ence of others. That is why we
did not go upon the rock in per
son. The reader will understand
that we only went there "in our
imagination," and this sketch of
the boys, their comfortable quar
ters, the work done, etc., is writ
ten from occasional notes made
from the deck of the Astoria while
we were waiting- ami fishing for
( jjroupers in ninety feet of water.
Capt. Flavel Las been upon the
rock once, Mr. A. J. Meg-ler has
also been there, anil we respect
fully refer to thorn for corrobo-ratinp-
circumstances cenceriiitin:
our experiences, and the facts
herein related.
Miss M. IT. Gillett of Wiscon
sin, has been appointed notary
public for the district of Columbia,
the first instance where a woman
has received such appointment
from the president.
The supreme lode a. o. u. w.,
now in session at Detroit, have
granted the petition for separate
jurisdiction of the grand lodge of
Oregon, "Washington and British
Columbia, the reparation to date
from June 1, 1SS1.
"Work on the new )uluth and
Vinnepeg railroad will begin in a
week. Boston capitalists have
subscribed $5,000,000 to build it.
The country through which it will
run is very rich, and in winter is
'cold enough to freeze the brass
knobs off the door locks.
The Oregon Improvement com
pany have fixed the prices of their
lands in eastern Washington at
five, seven, and ten dollars per
acre. Considering the enhance
ment of value by reason of the
early construction of the Oregon
Kail way and Navigation companys
road through the heart of this body
of lands the prices are very reason
able. The prices of land already
settled upon does not come under
this head, but are set according to
ithe merits of eachlcase.
Crops in Kentucky this year
will he poor indeed.
The cyclone damaged very much
property and crops in Texas.
Rev. T. DeVYitt Talmagc utters
a scathing review of the New
Testament, which he says will
make hosts of infidels.
The Canadian jury in the Vic
toria steamer disaster blame every
body connected with the steamer,
and end the matter by urging the
government to be more stringent.
All over Russia and New Jersey
the people are rising up and driving
the Jews out of their houses, and out
of the circus and all prominent places
of amusement. This looks tough to
tliope who are not used to such things;
but where the Jews missed it was in
not being born Indians, and living on
the frontier, and killing off all the
ranchers that they could lay their eyes
on, instead of going to work and
minding their own business and mak
ing money. Some people have no re
spect for peoplo xho mind their own
business.
