A LARGE AND REMARKABLE FAMILY
Rev. j. A. hanna has placed on our table a
historical sketch of the Hanna Hammond
family. his GRANDPARENTS The reunion was
hald August 10th, 1881, in Harrison county,
Ohio, on the old homestead located in 1901,
when Ohio was yet a territory. Their an
cestors were Scotch, and soldiers. in Croni-
wells army. The family was represented
by farmers, mechanics, merchants, doctors,
and clergymen. The historical sketch Of
the family contained the names of Ais per-
sons, of whom SO have died, and 3l9 are
now living, l62 of whom were present at the
reunion. The descendants of these fami-
lies adhere to the religion of their forefath-
ers, all being Presbyterians. They are also
all republicans, and furnished their quota Of
union soldiers from the Revolution down to
the war Of the rebellion.

YAoUINA BAY.-The people desire to
know, and have right to be informed, what
has been done with the $50, 600 already
given by congress. In answer to enquiries
the engineer in charge summarizes results as
follows: '.We have built two large scows
and bought four others. giving us six large
scows or lighters Nhic!, could NOS be built at
the bay for or 10 thousand dollars. We
have purchased half of nearly new tug
boat of A tons burden. We have built a
commodious wharf on the south beach, and
tramway over 1000 feet long. more than
half of which is double track. We have q
hoisting engine, and have built derrick,
store house, cars, &c. Besides this We have
built large cribs, one of which we have
used :or.our wharf the ether we will prob
ably use in the jetty at some future day.
We have opened stone quarry, and taken
therefrom about 1000 cubic yards of stone.
We have bought and cut, together, about
GOO cords Of brush. We have built por-
tior of the first 800 feet of the jetty and
withethe present appropriation will probably
finish the inner 500 feet, which, of course,
is not much out beyond low water mark.
and IS much the easiest part to construct.
But you can see from this that we have
purchased, quite an expensive plant and
outfit, and built good many necessary
auxiliary structures, and gained good deal
of valuable experience"
The Engineer does not add, but the fact
is, that he and his staff are now all trained
to work together to good advantage, and
that one of the worst consequences of stop
ping the work would be the dispersion of all
these men, and the inevitable loss of very
large proportion of what has been done, and
got together.

yaquina Bay Improvement.

HALsEY, SEPT. s. 1881,
EDITORS GAZETTE.-Your efforts, in be-
half of the Yaquina Bay are duly apprecia-
ted by your readers in this section. The
Importance of keeping the present force of
engineers and men employed on the harbor
work during the winter cannot be overesti-
mated. The bay must be made available
for shipping at the earliest possible time, for
the sooner this is done, the sooner the iron
claws of monopoly will be relaxed and the
people commence to receive the benefits of
competition in transportation. Every man
in the counties to be more directly bene-
fitted by this work can afford to contribute
according to his means. hope the farmers
none too poor to contribute the value of a
few bushels of wheat. I believe that
another summer will see the Oregon Pacific
Railroad completed from Yaquina bay east
wor,l to the Cascade mountains, and its
train Carrying the products of the Willamette
valley to the markets of the world through
this new outlet. The occupation of the
Portland toll-takers will then be gone, for
with this competing line in operation they
will be compelled to reduce their present
exorbitant charges to something reasonable
and fair. The benefits which will occrue to
our people from the opening of this railroad
and bay will justify liberal contributions to
keep the work in hand FARMER.

OREGON PACIFIC ITEMS,

Long before daylight and up to a latt
hour Monday morning last, the streets and
| sidewalks of Corvallis presented an unusu
ally lively appearance caused by the mer
and teams moving out on the line of the rail
road to commence work. Our town pre-
| sented more of the hum-drum noise and
hustle of larger places than we have esei
Witnessed here before.
A large number of our citizens went out
on last Monday morning about two miles
distant to where the grading has commenced
on the railroad to witness the beginning.
Last week Woodceck & Baldwin, of Corval.
lis, sold steam saw mill to VIM. Bagley to
be used in cutting ties for the o. P. r. r.,
and on last Monday they sold another mill
of about the same kind to other parties to
be used in railroad work.
On last Saturday VIM. Grant suspended
business in his tailor shop, and moved every
thing necessary out on the line of the Oregon
Pacific railroad where he is going to run a
movable eating establishment to supply the
hands at work ON the road with the SUBJ
stantials of life. He has house built in
sections which he can pick up and move at
moments warning.
Grading commenced on the o. P. r. r.
on last Monday morning. All the Cinnamon
which had been cot1gregating for that pur-
pose for some days moved out on the line of
the road short distance from this place,
where they are steadily engaged in making
the dirt fly.
More Chir men are expected soon 20 assist
those already engaged on the railroad.
Two more lots of Cinnamon arrived last
Tuesday evening to work on the railroad.
Three fiat cars loaded with dump carts
for the Oregon Pacific, came up from Port
land Tuesday and were conveyed immedi-
ately to the camp this side of Philomath.
Win. Grant finds that his boarding house
on the Railroad is insufficient to accommodate
his boarders and new one will be put up
next week.
Two more camps OF Chinese were PIT on
the grade of the Oregon Pacific yesterday.
