AIsRA BAY.

I had heard much by common re-
port of Alsea Bay, Alsea river and the
adjacent country before visiting this
section Of country. The many attrac-
tions which it was represented to me rs
possessing were not oyerstated.
The bay itself is one of those salila-
lie auxiliaries to the growth and
prosperity of the State of Oregon, the
Importance OF which is at present but
imperfectly realized. Its h;ssory IN a
commercial point of view may be stated
in a few words. Daring the years
1862 and 1863 the S!oop Fannie" OF
9 ft draft entered times with supplies
for the Indian Agency, then located
some nine miles south Of the Bay. In
1866 the "Flora Mabel en-
tered the bay on the same business.
In 1873 two schooners the "Lizzie" and,
the .eAlicc" were built on the bay and
sailed for San Francisco with lumber.
The Tag "CoquiIle" entered in 1880.
Ga the lst day of May 1881 the steam
schooner Kate and Annie" crossed
the bar at half tide reporting | Z ft. as
the lowest water. Tie schooner sailed
about , miles up the bay discharged
cargo and sailed out on the same tide.
The bar at the entrance of Alsea Bay
is unquestionabIy shifting one but

occurrences. 1t is unnecessary TO dis

era about to dawn on Oregon the pro

However cranky the Globe Democrat
may be on politics its head is level on
river improvements. The subjoinsd sx-
tract from its columns is almost q rep stl-
ton OF the views expressed on the sub
ject in this paper . few weeks ago:--,
"The chief enemy to the proper treat-
ment Of our grand river system is the
pressure brought to bear on individual
oongrsssnsn to get local appropriations.
Il has embarrassed the prosecution OF
useful and necessary work, and thrown
such a dlscrsdit on the river and harbor
bills, that there is natural desire to
separate the Mississippi scheme from
them. II this contemplated improve

to spend, to lot even the Missouri alone

point, is as much an Improvement OF the
Missouri as it 10 OF tho Mississippi, for
it il claimed that the Missouri il tho

to spend large amounts OF money right
away, we'll and good. Then the amount
of early work may be extended but the
principal to be adhered to always is to

greatest number, be the amount great

One Of the most touchingly beauti-

"Baby is dead T. Three little W ords

fingers were wont to wander lovingly
around mothers neck and face, loose
ly holding white buds, quietly folded
in confined rest.
Soft lips, yesterday ripping with
laughter, sweet as woodland brook

night are unresponsive to kiss or call
of love.
A silent home-the patter of baby

A SUPREME COURT OF TwENTY-oNE
JUDGES.
IErom the N. Y. SUM-

The proposed reorganization of
the supreme court OF the United
States so as to increase the number
of judges to twenty-one seems to US
exceedingly objectionable.
If all the members OF the court are
to sit together to hear the same
causes, twenty -one judges are too
many. The number to take part in
every discussion would be 50 largo AZ
needlessly to occupy much time With
out correspondingly increasing the
probability of q correct conclusion.
In Great Britain the tendency OF
modern law reform has been toward
Q diminution of the number Of judges
who actually sit in appellate trisu-
nails aud practical experience in the
United States indicates that The beet
working courts consists of from five
to seven members.
Certainly, then, there is no occa-
sion for adding to the number of as
sociats justices of the supreme court,
unless tho members Of tho court are
to be arranged in separate divisions.
1t would be practicable, however, to
have three parts, composed Of seven
judges each. Thess parts might be
vested with equal aud concurrent

cy causes, another in admiralty aud
equity suits, aud . third in common
law and criminal cases.
A manifest objection to the frs,
plan is that the divisions would be
liable to differ in their views of the
law. 1t would be an uuseemly spec
tacle to have one branch Of thu su.
preme court decide the same question
of law differently from another
branch. Then again, even when there
was no such direct conflict, every
suitor who happened to be defeated
