The steam schooner under construction at Supple's shipyard for Elmore & Schra- der, of Astoria, is nearing completion, and will lie launched in a few days. The hull of the craft is practically finished, and the deck framework is in place. This craft, which will be sea-going, is strongly constructed. Although a steamer, she will he provided with two masts, the sticks of these having been received and are being shaped. Her engine is being built at the Willamette Iron Works. The schooner will be placed on the Astoria- Tillamook route; andjwill be a passenger and freight carrier, and will be prepared to go out in all kinds of weather. In the former shipyard of Hale & Kern a tug, under the direction of C. H. Wheeler, is under construction. It will be strongly built, as the frame for the hull now up indicates. She is 100ft. long.—Oregonian. It is fair to presume that the visit of Mr. Wm. Reid to this city and county was one of more than ordinary signifi cance. He is a man who has accomplish ed much in the state of Oregon, and it is presumed has large interests yet intact, although he suffered with so many others in the troubles of the nineties. It was Mr. Reid’s intention to give Tillamook a railroad some years ago, and he con structed the railroad from Portland to Sheridan with that intention, and l.is visit at this time may have something to do with carrying out the original plans. But it is a little premature at present to make any predictions, with the exception of remarking that the railroad may be ex tended sooner than some people imagine. Mr. Reid is in close touch with Mr. Hunt ington, of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and is undoubtedly in line with him on the recent railroad proposition. His visit establishes almost beyond doubt Mr. Huntington’s active consideration and possibilities of the extension of the rail road from Sheridan to Tillamook City. That such a railroad will elevate the price of both farm and city property goes without saying. The man who says “I told you so’’ will, of course, get left as usual, while the one who savs nothing but quietly buys in advance will likely reap rich gain. Mr. Reid made a hazard ous and laborious trip from Seaside, one that stamps him as a remarkable man for his years and sedentary occupation. >1.50 per year Ir.

J.C.C., Blaine.—In answer to your questions : Are census enumerators supposed to take an accurate enumeration of the inf habitants ? Decidedly. Tor that is what they are employed for; and they have until the end of the month to do so if they cannot get through before. Can they take the census on Sunday and is it legal ? There is nothing to stop the enumerator from doing so. He has to report daily each day’s work, which is supposed to be ten hours. Although these report cards contain the name of each day of the week, there are none for Sunday. Can one neighbor give another neigh bor’s census? Enumerators are expected to procure the census from each persen or the head of a family. In case he cannot secure the necessary information he can, if possible, get it from neighbors or those who can furnish it. And is he supposed to take the enumer ation of stock ? Yes ; and all questions as to number and valuations must be answered. Census takers are not allow, ed to divulge any of the information, which is treated as strictly private, and enumeratars are subject to a heavy fine if they do so. Thereis but one avowed candidate in the field, at present, for United States Senator, to be elected at the next Legis lature, remarks the Telegram. This is George W. M cBride, Oregon’s present senior Senator, whose term will expire next Spring. There are several names coupled with Senatorial talk, but in nearly every case the individuals con cerned have made statements at one time or another to the effect that they would not be candidates. Those mentioned be sides McBride, are John H. Mitchell, for mer Senator; State Senator Charles Ful ton, of Astoria, and Governor T. T.
