CLATSOP NOTES.

supervision of Mr. Fulkerson. Miss DbJ
West Is organist, and Harriet Waterhouse
secretary.,
Mr. J. C, Adams is togging on one side
of Culluby Lake.
There is a scheme talked of and ser
lously coruridored by Its Inceptors, to
make a canal all the way from the k!p
smon to O'HOnna- creek, near eeasU,
twenty feot wide and deep enough so
that the tide will ebb and flow througb
It. It Is argued that the logs along Its
banks, cedar and spruce, would much
more than pay for It, besides giving an
outlet to the logs of the Necsnnicum snd
the 0' Harm a. There are obo many cedar
and spruce togs near the lake by Mrs.
Bryd'e and the streams tributary to It.
Besides the logs. It would be the means
of reclaiming all the marsh land, end
launches could run from Astoria to Sea
side. The cost of the canal has been
cutlmoited all the way from fifteen to
thirty thousand dollars.
The debating society will start here
