DEAD.

Tie president is dead. These -four
words flashed over the nation last
Monday night and came upon the
people like the low, sad wall of a
broken heart, casting gloom OF
sadness and mourning over thousands
of hearth stones. Although the news
was not unexpected, yet the certainty
that this calamity had actually be-
fallen the country, covered 1t with a
mantle of darkness so dense that fol
a time it seemed as though the people
would not be comforted.
Twice in our short life time, less
than third of century, have we
stood in the shadow of our country s
grief as it mourned over the yawnine
grave of its chief magistrate, stricken
down by the ruthless hand of the as
sassin. The first was in times oil
civil war when the country was
drenched in blood and the life of ev.
cry man was considered the proper
subject of the enemies bullet; but the
second-the subject under considera-
tion-how different. In times OF
perfect peace a man whom political
opponents had accepted and respect.
ed, on peaceful mission bent, and
whose only offending was that be
was the chosen and beloved ruler of
a loyal and united people, is without
moments warning stricken down,
not dead, but doomed to days of suf-
fering and nj ghts of waking. For
eighty-one days the people cf this
great country waited, hoped and
prayed for the recovery, of him who
was alike dear to all, but the end has
come: James A. Garfield has passed
from the shores of time, nd the
whole nation, as one man, weeps at
his untimely death. He was endear-
ed to every true citizen, not only be-
cause of his position, but because of
his purity in public and private life
and his long and painful suffering has
purified the minds of all, and pre-
pared them for faithful and perpet-
vual record of che many virtues of him
whose loss we all most deeply de

ANOTHER MISREPRESENTATION,
The Oregonian quotes from thu
Silyerton Annaal the following.

The Oregonian quotes from the
silverton Appeal the following:
The Corvallis Gazette wants the people Of
Marion county to give something to the
Yaquina railroad The citizens of the nor
thern part of this county. have given, MIR.
Gazette. We have narrow gaage, thank
you. We can offer nothing but our best
wishes; the subsidy business is played out
in Marion county.
The above is false and does not
contain word of trurh. The Cor
Wallis GAZETTE under it's present
management, which began about the
first of last May, has never asked the
peoyle of Marion county or any per
son whatever to give single cent to
any railroad. This shows how stupid
the mind must have been in which
these lines originated, and what con
temptible dullness overshadows the
one who reprinted them.
We have however, not long since,
suggested that the people Of the val
ley counties contribute a. small sum
each, amounting to about two OF three
dollars apiece to be used by the gov
ernment engineers at Yaquina Bay in
keeping the government works in
progress there until the next session
of Congress can have time to make
another appropriation for that pur-
pose. The Silverton Appeal in mix
ing her drinks has also mixed our
article to such an extent that she
could not distinguish the harbor at
Yaquina bay from the railroad or the
. works carried on there by the gov
ernment from the building of the
Oregon Pacific railroad by corpo-
ration.
The Oregonian however in hel
dnciety to give every improvement
a kick that is not controlled by heI
monopoly, is excusable for quoting
those lines (when she knew that they
niisrepresented us) because she has
been much demented for some time
over the fact that the water is drying
up in the Willamette river. When
the water raises SO that the farmers
will not have to pay five or six cents
per bushel lightcrage on their wheat
for the privilege of shipping it past
Portland, then the Oregonion will
probably become rational again.

THE CONTINUATION OF THE GOVERN
MENT WORKS At YAQUINA BAY,

The result of the mass meeting of
scitizens held at this place last Satur-
sday is that several parties are now
actively engaged in interviewing the
apeople for the purpose of obtaining
subscriptions to be used in continuing
sthe government works at Yaquina
ebay harbor sfter the present appropri-
aation is exhausted, and until the nexl
session of congress shall have made
further appropriations for that pur.
pose. The object of this move issnot
Ito raise money for the Yaquina rail
road as some uninformed persons
ahave supposed. But the present ap
spropriation on those government
aworks will be exhausted in about
Zone month more.
q With this appropriation nice starr
shas been made in the improvement OF
! this harbor, and all the appliances
snece ssary to work with in completing
athis harbor Improvement have been
Epurchased with part of the money
Sand are all there on hand. But if the
swork is allowed TO stop with the
exhaustion of the present appropria'
Ation, all of these things will become
ascatt cred and taken to some Other
place, and work already started will
Abe left to the action of the elements
Swithout any body there to look after
sit and keep it in repair. When lief,
! i'm such condition without protection
ssal! of the work is liable to be washed
sout by the heavy seas the coming
Swinter and thus render it necessary
sto begin anew. With all Of these
s,hings to contend with, it was
sthought best to raise sufficient money
sby private subscription to keep the
spresent force of men or a portion OF
athem at work until another appro,
spriation is had from congress. This
] is not large undertaking and can
seasily he accomplished if the people
! will take hold of it. If each man in
I the valley counties who owns farm
I will give only three dollars apiece it
swill raise a sufficient amount TO ac-
,complish this object, leaving ont of
account what may be subscribed by
sthose living in the towns and those
J who are not owners of farms. 1t
occurs to us that it should not reqnire
sany argument whatever TO get the
speople to subscribe to this enterprise
sand especially the farmers, when they
have for years been compelled to pay
Jas much again to get their grain to
sthe sea board as it will cost by way
sof the Yaquina bay. If the people
take hold ofsSthis matter it will no
doubt insure a liberal and early ap
preparation from congress. 1t will
salso bring the time nearer at which
the improvements of the harbors will
sbe completed.
On the other hand, if the people
neglect this important step at this
time and the elements during the
looming winter wash away and de
,,stroy all of the unprotected work
(which has been placed there by
means of the present appropriation,
the next congress vii undoubtedly
|be very reluctant to make another
'appropria tion for this purpose.

WIND WASTED.

The Oregonian has lately put forth
two or three labored and lengthy
editorials TO convince the people that
sthe farmers of the country have to
/ pay for all the trouble and extra ex-
1pense of conreying their produce to
the sea board by way OF Portland,
..occasioned by the fact that the Will
jeanette river is not of sufficient depth
! at several places below Portland to
admit of large seagoing vessels with
1 their cargoes ascending or descend,
fling to or from Portland without hay.
sing to pay enormous sums on each
cargo as lighterage, and that in place
sof Portland being the sufferer by this
THAT she is the gamer. All this seems
! ito be wind wasted because the pro
Sducers who have been the victims OF
sall this experience in having to pay
sfor handling and transferring their
gproduce so many times in order to
aget it out on the ocean by this tedious
I route besides having contributed the
money that has paid for everything
Shat Portland has now or ever did
shave, knows of the existence of these
glhlngs and the effect of them much
abetter than the Oregonian can tell
sthem.
I What the people of this valley and
eastern Oregon, in this regard, most
sneed is line of transportation to the
5sea board upon which they can place
atheir produce for shipment and moi
shave to handle or remove il until it
aarriyes at the ocean beach. Such
sconveniences will no doubt soon be
available. Yaquina bay, with the
sOregon Pacific railroad to extend
stherefrom to near Boise City, will
ssupply people with the means of con
3veying their produce away without
shaving to give the lions share Of it
flor transportation.
