PEOM YAQUIKA BAY.
A11 Interesting Letter From an Occa
sional Correspondent.
Yaquixa. Benton Co., Or., 1
March 4th, 1887. "
Editor Asteria:
The O. P. Co. have suspended
work on their terminal property
until spring.
The steamer Santa Maria,
Capt. Jas. Denny, arrived in j'es
terday morning; she brought the
first consignment of a lot of brick
1,000,000 to be used in build-
ing a handsome depot
oflices, etc.
building,
At the government jetty works
little is doing. The repairs to
the second one of six lighters to
be overhauled, is about completed
and work on the third is to be
commenced.
A large lot of car material has
just arrived from the east.
There is a great deal to do be
fore work can be resumed on the
jetty, in the way of building new
cars, pile driver, laying new rails
and strengthening the tracks for
the heavier rolling stock, etc.
There has been some difficulty
in regard to the land on which the
government buildings stand. But
negotiations are under way which
will lead to a satisfactory settle
ment. There was sent to Newport to
day, from near Alsea bay, a letter
taken (torn a bottle or some other
receptacle, which floated ashore In
that locality a few days since. It
was written on one of the steamer
J)a ten's bill heads, with an indeli
ble pencil, and lrom Capt. Chrrch
and Engineer Ilarmon of that ill
fated craft, stating that on that
date the 10th of Fehrua they
were starving. That they had
drifted to sea over the Columbia
bar in a disabled condition on the
Srd instl, and were then off Shoal
water bay, having 1ried to make
that place, but ran out of fuel.
They directed the finder to no
tify their relations, etc. I did not
see the letter, bat learned the
above from hearsay.
It is well to say here that a few
days after the Daicn was reported
as having drifted to sea, Dr. Jes
sup and wife, the occupants of
the old Yaquina light house, saw
an object on the horizon off to the
westward, and noticed that it was
in sight a part of two days. They
could not make it out so thought
nothing of it.
A day or two afterward they
mentioned it to Capt, Babbidge, of
the government steamer ficn.
Wright, when he told them of the
Da ten havi ng d ri f ted to sea. They
expressed their regrets at not say
ing anything about it at the time.
It was undoubtedly the J)aicn, for
in a few days she was reported as
having been picked up off this
place.
The steam schooner Kate and
Aiina is plying between this place,
Alsea and Siuslaw river. The
vessel was bar bound in Alsea bay
during the stormy weather in Jan
uary. Capt. Earnest Loll, famil
iarly called Plans, who was then"
in charge, took advantage of the
time by wooing, winning and mar
rying one of Alsea's fairest daugh
ters. The channel on the Yaquina
bar has changed considerably dur
ing the last series of gales.
The steamer Yaquina (Jittj in
crossing out on Sunday last,
grounded on the north spit and
stuck fast until she was pulled off
b' the company's tug Favorite.
Yesterday the tug went out and
13 feet at low water was found,
and a straight channel.
No one seems to know tho cause
of the steamer grounding.
This channel is narrow and its
approach rocky and dangerous and
in the opiinon of the writer, the
port is fit only for steamers of a cer
tain size. ' The O. P. Co. have two
steamers on the way out which
make 12 and 13 knots per hour.
This will reduce the time between
San Franoisco and Portland about
20 hours.
This is about all that will make
Yaquina bay a rival of either As
toria or Portland, for with its nar
row channel for an anchorage and
its dangerous approaches to the
bar, will always be a drawback to
the place. The Columbia bar is
dreaded by sailing craft, but a
small bar with but little lea room
is to be dreaded all the more.
A largetugIioat is building for
, the O. P. Co. at Mill No. 4. She
. is to be 109 feet long and have
compound engines of 24x30 inches
aiameier, uy ou uicnes siroKe, ana
will be a much needed craft as the
Favorite has seen her best days
by a good deal, and should be
broken up on smooth water before
she has a chance to try it on the
bar through becoming disabled in
some way.
Sojourner.
Iu Answer to the "Oresconian."
Astoria, Or., Mar. 10, S7.
Editor Asteriax:
The Orefonian is unable to see
that the Northern Pacific would
gain anything by extending their
line from Kalaraa to Astoria, mak
ing, in connection with their pro
posed line up the the north bank
of the Columbia, a tlnough line to
the east. It also gives us the stale
talk about the "laws of commerce1'
which always sends the ships as
near as possible to the fields of
production. That this last argu
ment is not borne out in the his
tory of other ports is too patent to
be argued here. I for one, believe
that the Northern Pacific are seri
ously considering the project of
building this line via Columbia
river, to Portland, and by so doing,
secure their land grant; and I am
equally confident that they will
continue said lino from Kalama to
Astoria. And, moreover, when
they do build to Astoria, it will be
prett- clearly proven to every
one's satisfaction, except, perhaps,
to the Oreyonian's, that they are
actuated solely by "business rca
sons' and that the question of sen
timent will be left out of the
question. In tl'is connection.
1 confidently submit the assertion
that when grain is once on tho
cars, with rail communication to
Astoria, it will never be dumped
off at Portland, but as Gen. An
derson told us the other night, it
will come to ship's side at Astoria.
In such an event it is of course as
sumed that the facilities for un
loading cars and transferriuo-
grain to ships will be fully equal
it not superior to like facilities at
Portland. It is entirely too late in
the da j' for the Oregonian to tell
us that the railroad referred to
could not be operated to Astoria
with profit. Gen. Anderson, it
seems, thinks quite differently. In
the one item of passenger traffic
alone, the income to such a road
during the summer months would
be enormous as compared to the
present steamboat traffic. How
many of the fort' or fifty thousand
people that visit Astoria and vi
cinity during the summer months
would travel by steamer when
the' could come in half the time
by rail? A stop. 1 an.
The Western Settler's Chosen Specific.
With every advance of emigration into the
fai West, a new demand is created for llos
tctter's Stomach Hitters. Newly peopled
regions are frequontly less salubrious than
older settled localities, on account or the
miasma which rises from leeentlv cleared
land, particularly along the banks of rivers
that are subject to freshets. The agricul
tural or mining emigrant soon learns, w'iien
he does not already know, that the Bitters
atrord the only sure protection against ma
laria, and those disorders or the stomach,
liver and bowels, to which climate changes,
exposure, and unaccustomed or unhealthy
water or diet subject him. Consequently,
lie places au estimate upon this great house
hold specific and preventive commensurate
with its Intrinsic merits, and is careful to
keepoiihandarestoratlvo and promoter or
health so Implicitly to be relied upon In
time of need.

Distress After Eating.
Tliis result of indigcstionwill no longer
be experienced if Simmons lAver Regu
lator is taken after each meal. It is
such a good digester, and so mild and
pleasant in its elfect that it is used by
many, after a hearty meal, to insure
digestion. The Regulator does not nau
seate or irritate the stomach, but cor
rects acidity, dispels foul gases, allays
Irritation, and assists the stomach in
its digestion,
How'j
a
Your LiVer?
I- the Oriental salutation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
- Liver-is torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con
stipatod, the food lies
in the stomach undi- ,
jested, poisoning the
blood; frequent headaeho
ensues ; si feeling of lassi
tude, despondency and
nervousness, indicate how
the whole system is de
ranged. Simmons Liver
Regulator has been the
means of restoring more
people to health and
happiness by giving them
a healthy Liver than any
agency known on eartli.
It acts with extraor
dinary power and efficacy.
NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED.
As a general family remody for Dyspepsia,
Torpid Liver, Constipation, etc.. I hardly
ever use anything else, and have never
been disappointed in the effect produced;
It seems to be almost a perfect cure for all
diseases of the Stomach jind Rowels.
