Really Isn't It mean for one section of a big State like Oregon to be everlastingly picking at another sec tion on serious matters. Joking is all right, but when It comes to the condition of sea ports it is a different tiling. Oregon should h. hnlit r wether, one port as well as another. Though the "Republic" and ii i.,.n nt the Pacific" were wrecked at the Columbia bar wc don't want to swimp the whole river. The Pioneer says : "The managers of the Oregon Development Company, have at last began to act as though they understood the kind of a har bor they have at Yaquina, and as a result have obtained a steamer just the right size for that dangerous port. The new steam er, which will be placed on the rout imme diately, is the "Santa Maria," a small wood en vessel about the size of the "Alliance," which plys between here and Gray's har hor. The "Santa Maria" wan built at San Francisco in 1884, and registers 2V) tons. Her dimensions are. length, 142 feet, beam 31 feet, depth of hold 13 feet, liy watching her chance she can undoubtedly enter the harbor in safety whenever business will justify her doing so." Wc will show the Columbia river people in time a harbor at Yaquina that will do all that is claimed for it. The recent wreck was not caused by the bar at all. The size of the "Santa Maria" has nothing to do with the harbor, It was hired because it was the only boat available. Just Elected Geo. A, Hartman, a Democrat, has been declared by the Su preme Court (o have been elected County Clerk of Umatilla county over John II. Young, though Young had a plurality on the oflicial vote. Judge Strahan delivered the following opinion, which Is sound : The elective franchise is a sacred political right which the law seeks to guard and protect and not to destroy. All laws for the government of elections were design ed to enable the elector to signify his will by his ballot and to give that will proper force and efficacy. Our institutions rest upon the fundamental Idea of a free ballot, nd It would never be safe to say that the means designed by law to secure the right hould be used as the most effective wcai on far lis destruction. In passlnir on the questions submitted in this case the court has not felt justified in adopting any narrow or merely technical rule. The right involv ed is too important to be dealt with in that spirit. 1 he yoters all used paper furnished by the Secretary of State for that purpose and were therefore within the letter of the statute. 1 hey were qualified electors, and no fraud was alleged or shown. The court is asked to disfranchise them on the sole ground that the paper was tinted and had been furnished by the Secretary of State one year prior to this election and this was a remnant left over. There was enough to answer the purpose of the second elec uon, ana we are unable to find any law prohibiting its use." Slausson-Irvine Wedding. On Wednesday evening, Dec. 19, at the resi denceof Uon. R. A. Irvine, Mr. Allen B Slausson, associate editor of the Oregom'an, and Miss Mary A. Irvine, one of Linn county's life long residents and among the valley's most accomplished young ladies, were united in marriage. Rev. S. G. Irvine, D. D.. performing the ceremony, in the presence of a few relatives and intimate friends. After a very Impressive cere mony a bountiful repast was spread and the evening was spent in extending hearty congratulations and good will to the happy couple, who have left for Portland, across the river from which, in East Portland, will be their future home. A Project. Capt. Willard Young has presented a report to the board of engi neers at Portland, the principal feature of which is the building of a nor:h mid tide jetty at Yaquina bay, extending fns tat north head along and behind the reef for a distance of 2300 feet, leaving an entrance width of about 1000 feet. The project also proposes to raise the south jetty to full high water mark, which by his estimates will require 20,000 tons of stone. The width of the entrance proposed, that of 1000 feet fulfills two essential conditions, namely, it corresponds fairly to Interior widths near me moutn and it gives reasonable facility to vessels seeking entrance. It is not, how ever, expected that the ship channel, be tween me jetties, will be wider than the interior channel, which is about too feet. Of the several projects presented, the board decided that this is the most practicable. and accordingly reported in favor of its adoption. The estimated cost of this new jetty is $91,500. Preparatory work has al ready been started on this new iettv. Near 'y $250,000 has already been spent on the south jetty. Notwithstanding the sneers from some Columbia river papers, Yaquina is bound to become a good harbor, and that is me irouoie witn mem. Axotiii'.r Point While Marion coun ty's assessment Is less than Albany by a million dollars it's total tax to be raised is about $15,000 more, hence its rate is much in excess of ours being about 20 mills. Of course this will not make much difference with men who cheat the State and county in the amount of their assessment, as a great many there do, but to those who are not favored it is a great Injustice, There is something decidedly rotten in Marion county's assessment, and we only mention it because it is a public matter and affects everybody. The General Experience The Prineville News says : "If you desire to become perfectly innocent of any and all knowledge of the workings of any railroad company, and of the O. P. especially, you must have a long talk with one of the di rectors, or other officials connected with the road in question." Moony, Both Salem and Astoria claim that Moody will be at those places; but we ire informed that he will not go to either place. He has to be in San Francisco on January 6, so that, leaving here on the 4th it will just give him time to make the con nection. Don't Lie.
