From the Telegram.
Yaquina Bay, which bat been ntg
lecttd by tbe Government for eeveral
years past, ia no to be examined with
a view to its fun her improvement, and
to that end the board of engineer officers
will meet in the public ball at Newport
on September 15 at 11 o'cloca a. m,
Ah persons interested are requested to
be pre ent and to submit their views in
writing aa regards tbe neceseity and ad
visability of further work in that local
ity.
Yaauina Bav e a harbor much ire
quented by email craft. There is now 14
leet of water on tbe bar at low tide
When the Government began taking
etepa to improve tbe bar in 1881 there
was but a depth of seven leet. Since
tbat time coneiderable jetty work has
been done both tbe north and south side
of tbe entrance to tbe barbor, which bas
an area of five square miles.
A wooden jetty was firet built and Ibis
was afterward supplemented by a rub
biestun jetty, the large boulders being
deposited witn tbe aid ol a railroad built
on piling ae tbe work reached out to sea.
At present tbe south jetty extends
westerly from the shore a distance of
3500 feet. Tbe north Bide jetty is 2800
long, a number ot rocas have also been
removed from tbe middle of tbe bar.
What tbe government contemplates in
regard to further improvement is not yet
kaotrn, and much depends on what tbe
eniiineerinc boaid advises. It Is there-
'ore necessary for those interested in the
furtber deepening of the Yaquina en
trance to be preeent at tbe meeting of the
engineers September 15. .. itSi-
That Newpert, Toledo, Yaquioa and
other tnwnB adjacent to the bay have
languished as tbe result of suspension o
improvement is well known, while the
amount of wheat shipped from tbe Wil
lamette Valley by theiCorvellie & East
ern Railroad ba? also fallen off. Should
the barbor be further improved so tbat
wheat shipments might proceed again it
wonld add much to the importance of
tbe towDB near tbe bay and serve to
build up the country adjacent much
more rapidly than ever before. The last
board of engineer tbat inspected the
work reported unfavorably as regards
farther Improvement.

Un Portland this week a twenty year
old boy oriyoung man confessed to seven
hold ups;and, numerous fires. He wae
flrBt suspected by kicking at the idea of
any man going about with only ten cants
in bis pockets: Now a Portland man
bad been held np with only ten ceo 'tin
his pocket, and the remark lead to hiB
detection, It was a good thing that he
was stopped thus early in his career, It
1b difficult to conceive how a Bane young
man oan start out on a career of orime
with;notbingof importance n Bight to
luetify it even from a financial stand
poibt alone, to eay nothing of the moral
Bide ol tbe .matter. He would display
better judgment to jump off a precipice
in tbe dark or drink a glass of drugs
from a shell of a drug store poured at
midnight without a. light to ee the
label. Every young man and boy some
ttmeearly in his life ought to Bit doirn
and think for a whole day without in
terruption upon the couree he propoees
to follow in life, thinking of the better
and tbe worse paths to be followed. It
should he weighed more from a moral
and religious standpoint than any other,
tbe gains and tbe profits of both kinds of
life. He should do it coolly and then,
alter making his decision, follow it to
the end. He can make only one il he is
absolutely fair in his judgment.

ThiB line of thought might be followed
in connection with the man wbo com
milled suicide. The first nasty cigarette
leads lo a corrupted taste, the drink
habit follows, and the end ie remorse and
self destruction or a life without the ends
ever meeting, one of dissatisfaction and
discontent. The only thing that counts
is character, Tbe money part doeBn't
amount to very much, it will at least
take care of itself, for the upright citizen
is bound to have a sufficiency for the
