England is seriously alarmed at some
of their recent doings. 1t appears
that the Chinese government has pur-
chased eight of the strongest gun
boats that can be made by the lead
ing English firms in the business.
Each of these formidable little yes.

mirably adapted for coast and river

" Sooner or later, China, a vast reser-
voir Of human life kept in by old rot
ten dykes, will burst its barriers, and
the new world Willie flooded by Chi

GOALS AND tIGNl7Es.

The Astorian Of the 29th ult., has
the following remarks relative to the
quality OF coal found on the North
Pacific coast. That's right Bro.
Ireland, when we have the best quail
ity of Goals, say so:
In speaking of the Goals of the North Pa
ciic coast, they have usually been called
lignites, to be distinguished from the Goals
of the carboniferous period of Ohio, Illinois,
Pennsylvania and Great Britain. The word
Ignite implies that the coal is of woody
origin. The name, however, is an unfortu-
nate one, as it is now proven that the Goals
called lignites are not formed from wood to
any greater extent than are the Goals of the
carboniferous period. It is also customary
to speak of them as inferior Goals. This
is also mistaken idea, in the main For
Goals of every quality and fit for all uses
can he found in the so-called Ignite Goals of
the North Pacific. Here are good gas GOALS
in Vancouver island, good CRATE and parlor
Goals at Seattle, economical steam and parlor
Goals at Mount Diablo and good blacksmith
Goals at Wilkinson. Here too we find also
bituminous, semi -bituminous, and even an.
thracite GOALS All in the same lignitic Pc
riod. Here, too, within twenty three miles
of Astoria, south we find large veins of coal
fully as good as the Sydney Goals for steam
ing, and better than Seattle or Coos bay for
crate and parlor use. The word Ignite is
too poor name for these Goals, especially
of this quality; and in future we shall speak
of them by their right name GOALS, of the
best quality.

THE WESTSIDE RAILROAD.

ED. GAZETTE: This long looked
for and much desired enterprise has
no: vet reached our city. Il there
anything we can do to encourage ii
along? If there is, we ought, by all
means, to do it. Should We fail to
get this road, our Disappointment
who can tell or describe Have we
not plumed our hopes i'll advance,
without working for the prize? And,
especially, have we done all in our
power to SECURE it? These are in
qniries more properly made now,
than when it is too late, unless, in
deed, we have already slept on our
Opportunity.
Our people appear to be perfectly
willing that the road should occupy
First or Sixth street, one or both,
but we have no money to buy depot
grounds with. But it don't signify
that because we cant buy depot
grounds that we can do nothing
whatever. IF we can't do all that
the company demands, let US do as
much as We can. The people having
spoken in their public meetings., we
think the city council should now
show it's readiness to place facilities
at the disposal of the company, or at
least show its perfect willingness to do
all in its power to accommodate and
satisfy the fair and reasonable de
mands of the company. think a
committee ought to he appointed Of
such members of the council as would
fairly represent the property holders
of Corvallis, to meet Mr.. Koehler
and, at least, show a hearty appreci
alton of this great enterprise, and
also show the sunny side of gen
erous disposition to the road. Even
corporations prefer sunshine to frigid
indifference. F. A. C.

DESTROY THE WEED.-Thc dag

DESTROY THE WEED.-The dag
ger-cockle-burr is said TO be increas
ing alarningly in some portions of
the Willamette valley, and will be
come very troublesome if decisive
measures are not Immediately taken
for its eradication. The statutes of
Oregon provides for its destruction.
and the duty of road supervisors,
in the matter, is very plain. Supervi
sors can call out work, in any distinct
TO destroy this nuisance or cause any
person to destroy the weed, when
found upon private property. IF the
owner of land, upon which the weed
grows, SHOULD fail to destroy the
same when notified to do so, the sup
ervisor can do it at the expense of the
owner of the land. Municipal cor
porations are also required to take
measures for the determination of the
cookie burr under penalty, OF from
City TO five hundred dollars for fail
ure. This matter should be looked
after at once, SO as not to allow these
noxious weeds to go to seed.
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1879-09-05

Since it has been promulgated that
there is some probability of the Board
of Engineers failing to agree upon a
location for harbor of refuge for the
Pacific coast, some have thought it
might be as well for the interests of
Oregon if the board should report that
no such harbor is needed, az General
Lane intimates they may. This opin-
ion is based upon the fear that the
State which gets this harbor will Oh
tain no other appropriations for im-
pyovements of rivers and hart ors for
years to come. Ex Senator Mitchell,
in an article upon the subject publish
ed in the Portland Bee, takes the OPP
posile view of the matter, maintain
ing that appropriations for the build
ing of the harbor would not neces
sarily interfere with the Improvement
Of the other harbors and rivers OF the
state, as the breakwater is an i'm
provement of national character
and could scarcely come into conflict
with local enterprises. He also says !:
s' 1t il true they may be unable to
agree; this is possible, but that the
board has any power or right to de-
clare officially, or otherwise, upon the
question as to the necessity Of the
swork, / deny, and in this | have no
donbt Gen. Lame, on reflection, will
concur. and I apprehend this inteli

OF determining question that is not

TIE WaLLA WAlLA WHEAT CROP.

The assessment roll oe Walla Walla
county for 1879 shows that there are
48,557 acres bearing crop of wheat
in the county. The harvest has been
in progress couple of weeks. The
lowest yield yet reported was from
field of volunteer grain which gave
product of lS bushels to the acre.
Numerous large fields have been re
ported where the yield was over so,
and several whose produce was over
GO bushels to the acre. Good judges
claim that the average yield for the
county, this year, will exceed 80
bushels of extra quality OF wheat to
the acre or total crop of 1895, ,5l0
bushels. DIR. Blalock says that with
an average yield of 20 bushels per
acre, it costs twenty five cents per
bushel to raise wheat and get j. ready
to sack. This cost includes interest ON
the investment at one per cent. per
month, wear aud tear OF machinery,
