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.

Answer to Correspondence.
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

A person should use the

It costs as much to feed a

to feed a good one.
In making a suit, the
