complete and spirited account of the
Omitted States Life-Saving Service, "
the text of which is written by Capt.
J. II. Merryman, Inspector of United

which are remarkable for their vigor
and correctness, are by an artist new
to Scribner, Mr.. NJ. J. Burns. and eff
fectiYely represent the methods and
hard3hips Of the brave patrolmen of
the coast, whose perils, as recounted
by Capt. Merryman, possess a decid-
eddy romantic interest. The efficiency
of the service is fully set forth in
figures.

WHEAT IN L1NN-The Albany
Democrat of last week says Uncle
Jimmy" Charleton was in the city
Yesterday from his home in Santiam
Precinct, opposite Lebanon, and we
regret to learn from him that the
farmers of his section are badly hurt
by the wheat rust. He thinks many
of the spring sown fields will hardly
pay for cutting and that the crop in
his ntighborhood can't possibly reach
more than halt of what it promised
to be before the rust struck il. In
the lower portion of "The Forks, -
about Scio-bowever. we learn that
there is very little if any rust, and
that the crops will be of the very
best. The fall grain, SO far as we
can learn, is turning out splendiily
all over the county.

THE KEsRT CT the VALLEY.

Prof. T. F. Campbell, in his edito
rial correspondence to the Pacific
Christian Messenger, pays the follow
ing tribute to our city:
"Coryallis-the heart of the val
ley, as the name signifies-is beauti-
fully located in the west bank Of the
Willamette Immediately below or
north of the mouth of Mary's river.
The approach of the West Side rail
road, which will probably be COM
pleted to this point the present sca
son, has aroused the energies of the
people, and given an impetus to
improvements manifesting itself in
almost every part of the city in fine
residences and other evidences OF
psosperity. A part of the iron for
the Yaquina road has been landed,
but the low water prevents the boats
from bringing the remainder of the
iron and the engine up. These rail
roads, when completed, will give Cor
wallis prominent place among the
towns of the valley. 1t is surround
ed by fine agricultural district. A
good substantial bridge across Mary's
river facilitates travel to the south.
but eastward travel is obstructed by
the ferry on the Willamette. This
ought, by all means, to be obvia,ed
by bridge. No other improvement,
after the completion of the railroads,
would add 40 much to the prosperity
Of the town, bringing in direct com,
mnnication with a large and fertile
area of country east of the river.
The narrow channel and high banks
of the river at this point render il
comparatively easy to construct a
bridge, and the business tact of the
people will doubtless soon see the
Importance of the Improvement and
push it to completion.

CONGRESSIONAL NEGLECT.

A Washington correspondent says
that probably the most poorly APP
preciated of all governmental De-
partments is that pertaining to agri-
culture, although it is second to none
in Importance. It's chief object is
the introduction of every useful pro-
duction of the earth that can be
grown in any portion of our own
country; to ascertain the greatest
amount of profit of which these va
rious productions can be made capa-
BILE, and to encourage Home Industry,
the only safe foundation of national
wealth. Congress, with it's multitud-
inous cares and party conflicts, and
the necessity of keeping conciliato-
ry eye constantly upon the dear con-
stituency, has neglected this Depart
'nent in a most short-si GIFTED and
reprehensible manner. Were Con
gressmen eligible to but one election
and that on their merits only, regard
less of monetary or other influences
land did their one term extend
over long series of years, they could
then afford to think more of the
country's interests and less of their
own, and, not having the fear of a
coming campaign in mind, would
have time and energy to devote to
legislation of broader scope than that
which in these anxious days generally
engages their attention. Then, per
maps, the United States laboratory of
the Agricultural Department, which
now langui>bes in fifteen by twenty
foot apartment, with Inferior appa-
ratus and poorly paid scientists to
experiment therein, would receive
the aid necessary to place it upon a
more efficient and beneficial footing.
There are in the State of Pennsyl-
vania alone no less than seven labor
atories, each one far superior to this
supported by the Government, and
many private gentlemen throughout
the country have better facilities for
scientific experiment. Yet, when
Commissioner lie Dne asked for an
appropriation OF 100000 with which
to build one that should be worthy
of the Government, it was printed in
the bill $4,000, and that insufficient
sum was denied. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that nearly two hundred and
fifty millions of dollars are annually
paid for importing articles which
could just az well be raised in our
own country. 1t is these needlessly-
imported products that absorb the
capital and deprcss the commercial
prosperity of the United States,
whereas, were home industries prop.
erly encouraged, idleness, with the
accompanying cry Of hard times, :"
would speedily disappear.
