involved in this screwdriver promises to be
one of the greatest mechanical events of the

be utilized, and it is claimed that a steam
engine constructed on this principle will do
double the work, with the same amount of
fuel, of an ordinary engine. The screw

have been ordered, and as soon as thew are
made the manufacture of the tools will be

The Reasons Why.

Work has commenced in earnest
on the improvements of the bar at
the mouth Of Yaquina bay. About
twenty-five men are employed d.
rectly by the government but the
improvement furnishes employ
ment for from seventy-fve to one
huRdred persons. Six men are
working in the quarry, and they
have about one hundred tons of
stone ready for shipment. Four
hundred cords of brush are cut and
piled up near the water at Onetta,
out of which will be built the
mattresses tor the building of the
ietties. Five hundred cords more
will be required. The work of
making the mattresses commenced
last week. There is a reason for
thus beginning one of the most un-
important of all projected improve
ments in Oregon, at the cost and
exclusion of an improvement like
this at the mouth of the Columbia
river would be. An improv ement
demanded by p commerce which
new annually reaches into the
millions, as against that of bay,
with only a local trade, which
scarcely exceeds the sum of 500
per month, about 81 800 per year.
We say there is a reason for it,
however; and that reason is wholly
political. Clatsop, Columbia and
Tillamook counties jointly have
one representative in the assembly;
Columbia has another; Columbia
and Clatsop are jointly inter
ested in one senator. This po-
litical influence is so small that
it amounts to nothing in the
selection of senator TO the
United States senate, when COM
pared with the COW counties;
and the cow counties get away
with the senators-then in order
to keep the position the senators
get away with the balance of the
Prcifc Northwest by neglecting
to secure the aid needed for the
commerce of the Columbia, and
the excessive charges and /" in
efficient facilities" lodges are then
resorted to, to prove to the cow
county man that ne is taxed to
death to support an Astoria mo-
nopoly. What barefaced cussed-
ness and audacious lying wont
scheming political hounds adopt tc
carry out their rotten purposes
But, SO long as Clatsop county is
foolish enough to pay her state
taxes, and put up with these dia-
bolical outrages, we we said
enough.
