Mr.. c. R. Andritsche, of this city, last
night while star gazing, saw still another
new comet in the heavens. This enc is loca-
ted as near as he can describe it in, the milky
way and about twenty degrees northeast Of
zenith. 1t is plainly visible to the naked
eye and instead of presenting the usual COM
cts tail it is nebulous in appearance, but
more luminous than the surrounding stars,
and presents TO the eye a brilliant point
which with its nebule presents very much
the appearance of miniature firewheel in a
fireworks display. From the description
we should Judge this comet is the same dis
covered by DR.. l. Weinick at the Leipsig
observatory on Che 25th of June, last, or the
second one seen by the. same observer of the
3Oth of June and the lst Of July last Tel
egram.

Now let each person owning a
farm in the above named counties
contribute but the sum, putting it in
round numbers of So. 90 and there will
be raised s25, ,962-quite sufficient
amount to keep the present work i'll
progress until after the next session
Of Congress.
1t will be observed that we men,
tion in this statement (taken from the
census of 1ssO,) only the farming
wealth of these counties, while all the
other classes of business and indus
trial enterprises will contribute just
as literally iftbe matter be brought
home'to them in the proper light and
an oppo tunity offered for them TO
do so, this reducing the pro rata
amount to perhaps little more than
one dollar. We have taken the
farmers as basis because they are
more directly interested, as every dol
lar saved in transportation is added
to the price of their produce, and
we would be glad to see them take
this matter in hand and show to
Congress that they believe what they
have so often stated in their resolu-
ton, viz: That with the necessary
work Yaquina Bay can be made one
of the best harbors on the Pacific
coast. Thereby they will stimulate
Congress to the extent of making an
appropriation more munificent than
any former one, and better proper
toned to the work to be done and
the end TO be gained.

PUTTING US In A FALSE LIGHT.

In our last issue an editorial ap
peared entitled the ssHarbor improve
ment at Yaquina Bay" in which we
urged the importance of this work
proceeding without delaying for an
other appropriation. From this edi-
torial the Standard of late date
takes the following portion of it: eve
understand that M. G. George, our
present member of Congress, intends
to ask that body, says the Corvallis
GAZETTE, and insist upon their ma
king an appropriation for this pur-
pose of an amount which will be
equal to the sum which the presen,
Oregon Pacific railroad company will
have to pay as duty upon their steel
rails already on the way from En-
gland, to be used in the construction
of their road, which is about 5000
tons. The duty upon this amount
will aggregate abont $4,000"
The Standard entities this short
extract, "Better Advocate Free
Trade" which appears very much
like the Standard in hurriedly look
ing over our editorial, probably mis-
took our subject and supposed we
were advocating an appropriation by
Congress for the assistance OF the O.
P. railroad, which was not the case.
But we were urging upon the people
the necessity of raising money by
private donations to the extent of
about $4,000 per month in order to
keep the force now EMPLOYED on the
government works at Yaquina Bay
from the time the present appropria-
ton will be exhausted until after the
meeting of the next Congress. And
in order to support the theory that
Congress would no doubt make an
appropriation for that purpose at its
next session, we mentioned the fact
that Col. Gillespie had recommended
in his last annual report that 100000
be appropriated for that purpose, and
further showed in the language above
quoted by the Standard that Con
gresham George intended TO urge
upon Congress to appropriate a
much larger sum. We feel called
upon to notice the language quoted
from us by the Standard, because ii
appears to us as if it might mislead
as to what our position was, and thus
put us in false light.

IMPROVEMENT OF YAQuINA BAY.

In our last issue we gave a few
reasons why the people of Oregon
should donate a sum sufficient to.
keep the engineers at work on the
breakwater at Yaquina Bay until
after the appropriation of Congress
becomes available, and now, suppo
posing that all see the necessity, we
propose making a suggestion as to
how it can be done and not be bur-
den to anyone. ] eaving out of the
present estimate the whole OF that
vast and fertile country lying cast
of the Cascade mountains which will
be directly interested in the Yaqnina
Bay, Immediately on the completion
of the Oregon Pacific railroad, the
consumation of which at an early
date is now conceded by all, and we
have in the Willamette valley direct
ly tributary to this larbor, eight.
counties in which every farmer feels
the heel of the oppressor increasingly
pressing his neck, with no hope of
escape except by competing trans
portation line, with a terminus at the
sea. In these eight counties there is
a population of 1886, with s,642
farms valued at $50, 6,s26,os2, or in
