Smallpox.


Two cases of SMALLPOX broke out
in Weston, Oregon. They have
been removed to an isolated house.
Both were strangers in the city.
The parties afflicted came up on the
train with Thompson, the man who
recently died at the pest house in
this city. Mrs. Judge J. H. Lasater,
Of this city, is we'll developed case
of smallpox. She also caught the
disease on the same train with
Thompson. Her house has been
qaarantincd. There is no fear of the
disease spreading, and every precau.
ton has been taken.

; and the Ona make regular trips to
Portland: The steamers Benton and
the Mary Hall run regularly on the
bay. Government is now engaged on
works for the permanent Improvement
of the baf by means of jetties. There
has been appropriated by congress
$IIo,ooo for the work. This work is
under the supervision of Mr.: J. S.
Polhemus c. E., directed by the board
of U. S. Engineers of the United
States at Portland. The population
of the precinct is about Iooo.n Under
the impulse given by the prospect of
the completion of the Oregon Pacific
lin the near future from Newport to
the heart of the valley, distance of
about 60 miles, almost every available
portion cf the precinct has been
located. Many of these are held for
speculative purposes, and 40 effort is
made by some towards Improvements
while Others are making per-
manent Improvements. OF late years
a very decided improvement is
noticed in the buildings and other
surroundings of the farms along the
bay. A spirit of improvement is man
ifest at Newport in the neat appear
ance of the buildings that are rapidly
going up. There is a postofice at
Newport and at Oneatta supplied by a
triweekly mail from Corvallis to Elk
City by land then by water to New
port. There is also a weekly mail
from Newport to Waldport at the
mouth of Alsea bay. From Newport
to Corvallis distance of about 80
miles is good wagon road and also a
road down the beach to Alsea bay.
Educational facilities are not good, a
great many sending to the Willamette
valley to school. There is a school
house at Newport where school is kept
good part of the year. There is also
school house at Oneatta and in the
S. E. portion of the precinct near the
residence of A. w. Wright and also
one on Beaver creek, where the last
school taught was more than ordi-
narily interesting. There is no building
for church purposes; the Presbyterians
attempt to keep up regular services,
but as there is no resident minister
and travelling very bad through the
winter, it becomes very irregular, 9TH
er denominations have occasional
service.

names of the persons paying tax upon

THE FATAL SOAP.

A little boy went out to swim,
And took d cake of soap with him,
And shined each supple little limb
And when he on the bank arrove,
One long, last downward look he COVE,
And then into the water dove.
And, trying to regain the top,
In vain, alas he tried to flop
He went so fast he couldn't stop!
His limbs were soaped from heel to hip;
He couldn't get q half grip
For, every time he tried. he'd slip.
The water no resistance gave.
And, So beneath murky wave,
He found a wet, untimely grave.
With thrilling, laundering. humping thud
He struck the misty. moisty mud
And turtles fattened on his blood
We dedicate this little hymn
To little boys OF supple limb
Who soap themselves before they swim.
