Oystervillc is the county seat of Pa
cific, the southwestern part Of the
Territory. This county was one Of the
first organized but its growth has been
slow. very slow indeed, owing to the
entire absence OF means Of tranporta-
tion. It's population, rs shown by
the last census, Is 1910, including about
four hundred fishermen and Cinnamon
engaged at three canneries on the CO.
lumbia river, whose residence IL
merely temporary, and not including
an Indian population Of about 200.
The assessors valuation Of property Is
$3l7 1925, but the actual value Is prob
ably one third greater. OF this total,
two saw mills, one ut Knappton, on
the Columbia river, and one at South
Bend, on the Williapa river, and three
canneries on the former river, form
good part, but the bulk Of valuation is
upon land. The boundaries of the
county are sixteen miles upon the CO.
lumbia river, about thirty-five on the
ocean and about thirty miles east Of
the coast running north and south,
taking in the entire Shoalwater Bay.
In every department Of business, ex-
cepting the oyster trade, the people
are prosperous. The price Of improved
lands Is increasing, and, with trans
portation facilities soon expected, will
go up rapidly. The only export Is
lumber and fish, not because agricul-
ture and stock raising could not be
carried on successfully, but because
produce could not be sold. The county
IL divided into twenty-one school dis
tricts, and IN each school Is maintained
three months In the year, and In one
or two large settlements six month.

The editor fell asleep after time
and 10! he dreamed a dream. And it
seemed to him in n vision that having
armed himself with certain papers and
books he turned his steps once more
toward heaven and knocked Mt the
gate.
Hello, is that you again?" asked
Peter. "What do you wish?"
LET these persons again come FORTH"
replied the editor. And Peter made
them pass through the gate and stand
outside.
They came as before and uttered the
same cries as before.
"Why didn't you notice the big egg
I sent your" yelled the first.
ut was rottOn," replied the editor.
"Why didn't you write up my soda
fountain?" cried the druggist.
"You had your tickets printed at the
other Office" calmly replied the local
man.
"Why did you write about old Thom-
linson's hen and never speak of my
new gate?" shouted third.
"Old Tmomlinson paid for his ad-
vertisement and you didn't. Here's
the BILL" said the editor.
"Why did you spell my name wrong
in the programmed" groaned the local
talent.
''Take look at that manuscript Of
yours and see for YOURSELF" said the
editor with grim smile.
The rest of the company yelled their
complaints in unison, and the editor
calmly sorted out series of bills for
unpaid subscriptions and presented
each with one, and ii was SO that when
they received them, they all tore their
hair and rushed violently down n steep
place to the sea, and st. Peter, taking
the editor calmly by the hand, led him
within the gate and said:
"Come friend; these chaps managed
to slip through here in spite OF us, but,
thanks to the press, We know. what
sort of fellows they are. Come In and
stay; we need few such men al yon
In here"

road to fortune. More logging has
been done at the head of Puget Sound,
comprised of the bays in Thurston and
Mason counties, than on any other
portion OF the Sound of equal extent;
more is being done to-day; and more
will always be done in years to come.
Nearly million feet Is cut every week
now in this section, and there Is not u
mill In the whole Of it that cuts lum-
Der for shipping. With the millions
of feet along the Black Hills, and the
many more on both the east and west
sides, 1t would seem that no better
place for large mill can be found than
near the head of the Sound. Instead
of being sawed here, this timber is all
taken to the mills down the Sound,
being towed in the raft from forty to
one hundred miles to them. This tim
ber is unsurpassed for quality and ex-
csllence. Growing on lands between
the hills or back from the shores of the
bays, no heavy winds ever reach them,
and consequently are free from cracks
and other damages. Straight as ar
rows, the huge trees often reach three
hundred feet in height. Many of them
are worth from one to two hundred
dollars each, and acres of land can be
found havinga II quarter of a million
feet to the acre. Such tracts are get
ting scarce near the waters edge, but
lay further back, where long roads
must soon be built to reach them.
The demand and increasing value Of
lumber is makingit 1t necessary to reach
such timber, and logging railroads
will soon have to be built all over the
Puget Sound basin to do this. Around
the head of Puget Sound these roads
will find a profitable business. for II
long time to come; and while it may
seem that the timber is being fast
taken away, there are enormous guam
titles yet to be cut. The large amount
of it, however, makes our people care
less of its value and Indifferent to its
destruction. Every day our forests
are increasing in value, and many a
settler would have made more to have
let his timber stand than to have cut
and burned it in attempting to make
farm. His timber thus destroyed in
a few years would be worth more than
his farm without it. The protection
Of timber ia necessary, not only from
waste and neglect, but from fire and
other causes, II we would realize and
enjoy its full value.

Report On River and lIarbOr Inn.
prOvements.

The annual report of Col. Gillespie,
engineer in charge of river and har-
Dor improvements in the Northwest,
has been submitted to the department
at Washington.
Operations on the lower Willamette
and Columbia rivers from Portland to
the sea are given In detail. The work
of timber construction, suspended in
December last, the report says cannot
be resumed until after the next low
water season. Col. Gillespie suggests
as still further improvement to the
entrance to the Willamette river the
construction OF small submerged
dam behind Niger Tom island. The
dredge used at Swan Island having
been worn out, will be replaced before
next low water season by a powerful
and good dredge.
The report recommends an appro-
priatiOn Of $lOO,0OO for improvement
Of rivers, exclusive OF the bar at the
entrance Of the Columbia river.
Referring to trade statistics, the re-
port says that 1t is expected that the
commerce Of the northwest will, In the
next five years, greatly increase. 1t
Is highly important, therefore, that
the Columbia and Willamette rivers
should be kept in navigable condition
equal to the wants Of the growing
commerce.
On the upper Willamette and YAM
hill rivers $24,OOO was expended dur
ing the year In continuing improve
ments, and 50, 221 was available for
future operations. 1t Is estimated that
$3S, 900 IL vet required to complete ex-
isting projects, and an appropriation
of $40. 500 Is recommended to continue
these improvements during the fiscal
year. In the upper Columbia and
Snake rivers, more than $4,000 was
expended during the year, and $50. .0OO
IL recommended rs the amount OF ap-
preparation for the next fiscal year.
The work Of constructing . canal
around the cascades Of the Columbia,
which will open free navigation to the
Dalles, has been pushed forward Wig
Or0usly during the year, and nearly
$76,OO0 has been expended on It. The
amount still needed IL 81 ,224, 600 to
complete the work, and $75O,OOO IL
recommended ~ the appropriation for
the ensuing year.
On improvement In Coos hay har-
Dor, Oregon, nearly $25,OO was ex-
pended during the past year. Nearly
$I7, 900 was available at the close Of
the year, $902,0O IL still required to
complete the projected Improvements,
and $50, 900 10 he expended during the
fiscal year. On Yaquina bay improve
ments $36,OOO was expended during
the last year. II 10 estimated that
SAl5,O0O is yet required to complete
the work. aud ~, Q,O0O II asked Tor the
next year.

lOlympia Transcript

For many years past numbering has
been one Of the principal industries Of
the Puget Sound basin, but we wish
to speak particularly OF the business
In this vicinity. 1t began about thirty
years ago In the shipment Of piles and
square timber to San Francisco. Then
commenced and continued more or less
to this time, the shipment Of spars to
all parts Of the world. The establish
ment Of saw mills on the lower Sound
inaugurated the logging business,
which has been steadily carried on for
number Of years, and which IL now
only In it's Infancy. 1t 10 true that
thousands Of acres have been stripped
of It's best timber along the water edge
Of our bays and inlets, but farther back
are still millions OF acres Of the finest
timber that ever grew. But \ short
time ago II was thought that the log
Ring busines was coming to an end,
because 20 much Of the timber close to
the water was being cut Off ~ IL would
never pay to haul logs any great dis
tance. But this IL found to be . mis-
take. Having the timber cut on along
the shores stops logging by small
campo, and forces the business into
hands having capital and experience.
Many Of the small camps, under the
pressure Of low prices aud heavy ex-
pennes, during the last few years, have
lailed end abandoned their business,
whllo larger camps have withstood the
hasd times and ass now ON the high

PERSONAL OPINION.
What Prominent New York politician

What Prominent New York politicians
Say of the designations.
New YORK, May 16.-In relation to the
resignation of Conkling and Platt the follow
ing expressions of opinions by leading citizens
are printed.
Collector Merritt was surprised aud could
express no opinion.
Thurlow Weed expressed great surprise. He
thought the action Of the Senators had not i'm
proved mattefs:
John Kelly said the resignation Of Conklng
will show conclusively his strength in the
party. | do not believe that his and Piatt's
designations will be accepted.
"a most extraordinary thingj" said Ex-Gov.
Morgan. He could not account for it and
thought the designations would be withdrawn.
Congressman Einstein thought Gov. Cor
nell would not accept ConkliiIg's resignation,
but in the event of his eXcellency's doing SO
the legislature would re=elect hiui
Joseph ChOate was glad to hear of the re-
signations and said it was the best news he
had heard for years.
VIM. e. Dodge thought. the general feeling
among the people of this State would be one
OF gratitude.
b. B. Sherman, president of the Mechanics
National Bank, did not think the designations
would cause any serious detriment to New
York or the country. He said 81 am much
surprised at what has taken place though L
thought there would be trouble when the
President selected Blaine as ono of his ad-
visers. Foreigners now don't thing much of a
republican form of government;and If We go on
cutting up in this way they will have less con-
fdence in it than ever.
An intimate friend of Mr.. Conkling makes
the following statement as to the reasons for
the designations:
Statements have been made by gentlemen
in the Cabinet that Conkling ana Platt do not
represent the State in this matter of Robert
SOM that if the people had known what their
position was to be- Platt would not have been
elected and Conkling would not have been
supported in his course. Mr.. Conkling is will
ling to test this. He is tired of having one
Senator after another COME to him and ask to
be relieved from voting against the conirma-
ton of Robertson in order to save q petty post
master here and another petty postmaster
there; that he proposed to submit to such
situation no longer, and that he would appeal
to the people of the State of New York to sec
whether they believe that the two Senators
whom they had chosen were competent to rep
resent that State in the matter of advising the
President rs to nominations. Aud, said the
gentleman, they will both be returned to the
Senate at the earliest possible moment, and
not a Republican vote will be cast against
Them After that the deluge.'
Another of Conkling's friends says that it is
his purpose, if reelected to return indie
pendent of all parties and to owe allegiance to
nobody. Under these circumstances doubts
are expressed whether Conkling can be abso-
lutely certain of reelection.

mittee on Foreign Relations, reported back IA
vorably from that committee resolution de-
claring the consent of the United States Gov
eminent TO be condition precedent to the

up the resolution Tomorrow.
Mr.. Dawes moved an executive session.
Mr.. Cockrell said, 81 thought you wanted to
consider another resolution"
Mr.. Dawes replied, 81 had no idea but that
the Senator would like to 60 on with it, 1t is
in accordance with the disposition which he
has shown from the beginning"
Mr.: Hill. OF Georgia, said that the Republic
would be subverted if the resolution was uot
acted upon.
Mr.. Dawes replied, "But the Senator would
never be convinced until he happened to have
a majority
Mr.. b ill retorted, ooh we won't insist upon
having it considered
Mr.. Dawes remarked that an accident was
an eye-oDener to the Senator.

States from New York has been forwarded to
the Governor of the State.
Ihave the honor to be, with great respect,
your obedient servant,
Roscoe CoNKLING.
This communication was received with a
great sensation, which was heightened when
the Vice President read the following:
SENATE CHAMBER, May 16, 1851.
To C. A. Arthar. Vice President:
Sir--I have forwarded to the Governor of
the State of New York my resignation as
Senator ofthe United States of that State. Will

Senate.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

Robertson's Name to be Reported Imme-
diately and the Senate to Adjourn this
% Week.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The Republican
caucus met this afternoon and with only four
dissenting votes decided to bring Robertson's
case before the Senate for action forthwith
and to procure an adjournment of tine Senate
sine die this week.
The necessity of providing for an election of
a president of the Senate pro tempore before
the close of the session was also brought up
and as the Democrats now constitute MAORI
ty OF the body it was agreed to notify them
that the Republicans will consider Senator
Harris of Tennessee as an acceptable choice
for the position and will cheerfully acquiesce
in his election.
The designations of Senators Conkling and
Platt were not in any way discussed or even
referred to during caucus proceedings.
