Work at the Bay is progressing well; the
working staff has been enlarged, and still
more hands are expected to he ut on with
in few days. Capt. Winant is due this
week at Yaquina from San Francisco with
q cargo of ;ilroad material, amongst which
are the wheels an,l fittings "f two construc-
ton trains The lumber for these has been
forsome time prepared at O,cstta. Mr.. w.
N. Hoaa, the lst Vice Presid Mt and gener-
al manager, Is at the Bay, and will, we un-
derstand. give full directions as to round
house. car shops. sheds anl etc. which arc
to he prorecied with at once. The saw
mills are now running at their fill capacity,
and turn out. we believe, about 10. 600 # =,
OF lumber day. The tie contra. is are also
being pushed for early deliveries. On en-
auiry at the c"mpaHys office we learn that
they will still let contracts for a few thous-
and more hewn ties so applicants for work
in this direction had better hurry up. The
offices at Corvallis have been enlarged, and
new off ;ers in several departments are ar.
irving SO that everything points to very
early resumption of active operation.

The storm king still continues to stir up
the elements and thus produce such va
riety of weather. rain, snow, sunshine,
slush and mud as to disgust the farmers
and drive them from their fields, This
must be the equinoctial storm; after it is
over we may expect settled weather. A
man by the name of Farrow working at the
Summit saw mill was arrested on charge of
stealing tent worth about $40 and arraign-
ell before Judge Brownson's court, but after
| a careful investigation of the case the evil

Consequently the prisoner was discharged /.
This suit will cost the county about $50,
which should be reminder to justices not
to issue warrants unless satisfied crime
has been committed. F. NJ. johnson, Esq
and Judge Holgate, deputy proecuting
attorney J were present to attend the trial,
the former for the defense and the latter tor

Resoiced, l. That we will not support

on any common carrier III this State, or ex-
empted any monopolies by assessment or
equalization boards or any other form of
exemption from having their equal propor-
tion OF taxation according to the valuation
of their property in the county in which it
may be situated, neither for state nor
county officers. r
g That we are in favor of regulating
interest below what it now is and making
usury criminal offence.
3 We are in favor of law passed by our
Legislature to make all railroads in the said
county liable for damages that may occur
in said county in which it may occur.
T. We are in favor of Tree trade and
opposed to protective tariff and ask the
repeal of the tariff law by the two houses

5. That we are opposed to the navigation
law and ask the repeal OF it by the two
houses Of congress.
6, We are in favor of the reconciliation
of silver and a free coinage of silver, paper
and gold.
7, That we view the existence of nation
al banking system as centralizing and not
| in conformity to the constitution of the
| United States, and ask its repeal by the
| two houses of congress.
g. That we ask our Legislature to pass

ment of the constitution of Oregon so as
to give the elective franchise to women

| IL. That we ask that the law of collect.
| ing taxes by the sheriff be repealed, and
make it the duty of tax payers to pay their
| tax to the county Treasurer; thereby saving
the percentage that goes to the sheriff for
| collection.
Il. That we ask the repeal of the school
book law by our legislature that leaves
a monopoly upon the people.
l3. That the right to make and issue
money is sovereign power to be main
