FROM SENATOR :. ~. SLATER.

The following extracts from letter
received this week by DR.. w. 4. Alex
ander from Hon. Jas. II. Slater will be
read with much interest by our citizens.
II is dated Washington, April 18th,
and after referring TO other matters,
says
"The future work upon the Yaquina
Bay depends upon the prospect of rail
communication with the Valley. have
seen or heard nothing lately of that
matter. The needs and demands Of our
State are 30 large that il is very hard
to get anything near what We ought to
have. You are doubtless aware that
we got only $4,000 for Yaquina, max
ing $50, 900 in all. This will make a
very good beginning, and il the railroad
is started up and takes definite shape
there will be no difficulty in getting
further appropriations at least it will
be very much easier to get them. The
officer in charge of such works is re.
quired to make report of the CONNER
cial facts going to show the Importance
and necessity of the work, and of course
the commercial Importance of the va;
quina is not going to increase to any
appreciable extent until the railroad is
certainty. l am anxious to servo the
people of the Valley to my utmost, and
will do all in my power TO keep the
work moving. hope the road is to be
built, but the long delay in its assum.
ing definite shape and certainty at a
critical point of time is little dis
couraging.
The deadlock in the Senate continues
with no certainty of its being broken
soon. l think the Democrats are max.
ing some capital out Of it. 1t is hard
however, to Judge accurately.
Very respectfully yours,
|. JAS. III. SLATER"

CR0Ps IN linn COUNTY.

Editros Democrat
From recent observations | would
state that crops of grain, grass and
fruits in this county are exceedingly
large and promising at present. AL.
though tho prices of wheat are dis
couraging, yet the farmers have not
slackened their hands in sowing more
acres than ever before. The supply Of
farm machinery is generally equal to
the demand here. Less new machinery
is sold TO farmers this spring than com.
mon, ewing to scarcity of money and
dread of debt There is general un-
easiness among all classes Of producers
in this Valley in reference to tho trans
pottation of the present old wheat and
the new crop. II is tue that this Val.
ley is pretty we'll bottled mp at present,
and tributary TO mammoth corporations
that control our commerce, but, in the
very nature of things, two or more out
let's To the ocean via Astoria, Yaquina
Bay, and Siuslaw, will be opened up
for commerce before long. Beyond
doubt first rate route across tho Cas-
cade mountains for two railroads can
be found, and Que at least will soon be
used by the Reno feeder, aud he Scotch
marrow gauge company, which route
will run, no doubt, 10y Albany and Cor
Wallis to Yaquina Bay. a great deal
depends upon the effectnal clearing out
of the bar at Yaquina Bay. and there
is not the shadow of doubt bat that
the outlay Of a quarter Of million dol
lars on that bar and channel will make
safe entrance for tho largestsized
ocean vessels. And tits true that more
than one thousand ships and barks can
ride at anchor in the Yaquina harbor
in safety in tine of any storm. attn
surprised that those things are not more
spoken about and written about than
they arc. Tho people Of the Valley
counties conld well afford to finish the
work on the bar, and build the railroad
from Albany to Newport. own and run
it, and make money by it.
1t is folly for us to sit down ia de
spair. We have the best climate, soil,
water, timber and navigation in the
world. High tide succeeds low tide.
We are in low tide now, but high tide
will succeed. Drouths, floods, bad sea.
sons, wars and fires decrease our sup.
plies Of brcadstuffs. UNUSUAL plenty
in all countries gives place to scarcity.
IL Is better for us that We have Too
much wheat than too little.

r.arrSa IMPROVEMENT.


As will be seen from a letter pub
lished elsewhere in this weeks
DRMocRAT, from Senator Jas. III.
Slater he is of the opinion that the
prospects for future appropriations
for Yaquina bay will depend in a
great measure upon the prospects of
rail communication between the bay
aud the valley. At the recent con-
vention held in this city in the In
terest of the Yaquina bay improve
ments our citizens expressed the
opinion that the prospects of rail
communication between the valley
and the. harhor depended largely
upon increased facilities at the bay
for the entrance of larger vessels.
It Is probable that both views Of the
question are quite right, considered
from the different stand points III
which they were taken. However
We believe there IS no doubt bu
that Mr.. Slater's view is the most
