THE NEW ASSESSOR

Muddy, April II, 1881.
Ed. GAZETTE
Our new Assessor is making grand start,
and if he keeps up at this rate. he viii GER
tainly be re. elected again when his term of
Office expires. He appears to be good
judge of the valuation Of land. Some of the
finest farming land in the county he il asses
sing at 81 per acre, while the land along the
foot hills and mountains he assesses ct from
$40 to $l2 per acre. SO you see Mr.. Editor
we poor cusses will have to pay most of the
taxes. most emphatlcally protest against
this kind of thing and would recommend
that our good looking Assessor be furnished
4 substitute, and that he retire to the shades
of private life. It may be that in conse-
quence of coming SO near losing his office,
that it deranged him little, and when the
trouble passes off he will be all right again.
Would it not be more in keeping with his
duty and more in conformity with his oath
of Office if he We're to treat all alike!

Ed. GAZETTE:
am informed that one NJ. III. B ell, who
aspires to be candidate for the office of
City Marshal, has pursuaded number Of
voters to visit sewer in the lower part of
the city, and has informed said persons and
any and all other persons, who would listen
to his silly prattle, that received from the
City of Corvallis the sum of $2S for certain
work on said sewer. and that the same was
not worth half that amount. The simple
facts in the case are, that, under the imme-
date direction of the Street Commissioners,
performed five days work ON said sewer,
and put in my bill therefore to the City
Council for the sum of $40 and no more.
Said bill was certified to by the Street Com.
missioners and on their certificate allowed.
For the correctness Of this statement / refer
to the records of the City Council Mr..
Bells statement is either tfue or it is false.
Further I invite the closest scrutiny Of my
past acts. botx private and official. win

Capt. ]. F. Denny arrived to-day and
will take the tug Gen. Wright to the Col
umbia. Capt. Pennell's remains were taken
up and will be shipped on the Wright to
Astoria, thence by steamer to California.
The captain, it seems is relation of Capt
Stahman Forney. U. s. C. s., who assisted
Lieut.. A. w. Chase in the first survey of
Yaquina Bay in 1868. The body of Frank
Winnemark, one of the unfortunate men
drowned here on the 7th. was found IL
miles south of the Bay. The body was
identified at the inquest.
The tug Gen. Wright draws light l.2
feet. She has been making daily trips, of
ten at low tide, to the quay. distance of
Is miles from Newport, and could go at
half-tide to Elk City easily.
Another piece of folly occurred here on
the llth. The Shubrick arrived with
some freight for the government works. 1t
was risky business going to sea without a
captain, but Eng'r Polhemes was equal to
the emergency; he employed Capt. J. M.
Ayles to accompany the party in case of a
change in the weather and night at sea-
The lead was kept going and the least water
found was 20 feet. Inspector Rector was
aboard and saw the soundings. He can
probably remember something of a report
made by the Captain of the Shubrick last
year, that resulted in that vessel being
''barred out" of 'Yaquina Bay. The Shu-
brick drew #. To an ordinary man IL #.
of water under vessels keel would seem to
be sufficient. The tug secured the freight
and came in late on the evening tide. The
least cast was IL feet and she draws #. of
water, only foot less than the Shubrick
did with an Is foot depth of water to sail in.
1t is pretty near time for the people to put
2 stop to this display Of incapacity, if not
imbecelity. Nothing but deep seated
prejudice derived from an association with
those opposed to the future growth and de-
velopemen.. A sea port opposite and near
the Willamette Valley prompts those in
charge of this tender OF the light house to
act % conspicuously ignorant of matters
well understood by sea faring men of judg-
ment and ability. There is not another
man, except Capt. Everson, SO devoid of
that essential pride and spirit to be found
on the coast, in command of side wheel
boat drawing only Oft Of water that would
hesitate to cross smsoth bar with Is # of
water to ply in.
The practice Of patience win not suffice
when the interestEof the country is at stake.
Let us get rid Of this official seal placed
through design or ignorance ON one of the
safest harbors ON the coast.
