Observation-Disclosures LIGHT
HOTNE

AOO6Es
The first light answering the pur-
pose of lighthouse at this point was
contriyed in 1886. About this time,
during the season of navigation, YES
sells began to arrive, and steamboats,
more frequently than now, there being
a regular line between Buffalo and
Chicago, which always called at South
port. wind and weather permitting. 1t
was in this year immigrants began
coming in considerable numbers, not
only to locate in this vicinity, but for
long distances in the interior. There
was then no improved harbOr on the
lake shore between Chicago and Mil
waukee, a distance of about ninety
miles. Steamers and vessels having
passengers and freight for this place
needed shore light in the night time
to guide them where to stop. The first
expedient adopted by the few residents
of the prospective city was the building
of fire on the bank of the lake at
This answered the purpose
for the first year, 1885. The next year
George Kimball conceived of a plan for
a more conspicuous light; a large
oak tree stood on the bank near
where the Wire Mattress company is
now located. This tree Mr.. Kimba1l
caused to be cut down, leaving stump
twelve feet high; the top Of the stump
was cut to a level surface, on which
was put a LAYER of stone and mortar !:
on this fire of wood was built every
night after shutdown. A word may be
said Of Mr.. Kimball, the protector of
this light; he was gentleman of
courtly manners, by education a law
yer, of aldermanic proportions, and
might easily have been taken for an
nobleman; he came to this
place from Canada. He was the owner
of large part of the real estate on the
south side of the river, on which a
large part of the city now stands,
which was then designated the " KIM
ball quarter Being a gentleman of
leisure, he undertook keeping the new
contrived light himself; this service he
performed to general satisfaction.
This beacon light served the purpose
of landmark to vessels on the lake
until the citizens Of the town resolved
on more pretentious structure for a
light. 1t was the erection of four
posts, twenty feet high, ten feet apart
at the base, leaning inwards; on the
top of the posts a platform was CON
structed, and upon this a sash frame
about two feet square, with common
window glass, was placed. In this
sash frame enclosure oil lamps were
kept burning nights. This last SUBJ
stitute for lighthouse answered 4
good purpose until the present govern
ment lighthouse was built on Wash
ington Island, north side of the harbor

Coos Bay Railroad.

A telegram from San Francisco dated
August 3lst says: Capt w. FL. Besse,
of New Bedford, Massachusetts, prom
inently conhected with Southern Oregon
improvements, arrived from the East
yesterday. He stated that important
developments are contemplated by his
company in carrying out the general
plan already noticed. The constrac-
ton of railroad from Coos bay to
Roseburg would be merely predatory
to its extension to Boise City, Idaho,
though no definite plan has yet been
decided upon. The company had al
ready acquired valuable properties of
Oregon, and is negotiating for ethers.
These include coal and timber lands,
which are to be developed and the pro-
duet shipped to this city. Personally
he has great faith in the future of Or.
egon as the center of a fourishing com.
merce, and believes that the southern
portion of the State offers important
advantages. Preliminary surveys Of
the railroad, made some time ago, viii
be followed by a final survey, but these
and other matters remain to be passed
upon by the directors at a meeting ts
be held in Portland, at which the state
ment is to be submitted that the steam
vessels contracted for recently will ,
ready for delivery next spring. The,
are of wood, and especially constructe,
for the wants of the company, bein,
light draft, having compound Scott en-
gines, being fitted up for passengers
and having appliances for speedil
loading coal and lumber. Capt Bess
is now in Portland, and we may expec
to hear something definite on this sub
ject ct an>early day.

After an illness of three weeks, Vir-
ginia Caroline Burnett died at her ia
theirs residence in Round Prairie on
Friday, August 3lst, aged Is years.
At no time during her last sickness did
her friends think it serious until Thurs
day morning she took relapse and
never rallied. All thai medical skill
could do was done to alleviate her suf-
fering but The final message had come.
By the side of her mother and sisters,
in the beautiful Masonic cemetery, all
that was mortal of little Virgie is laid
to rest. The joys and sorrows, the
temptations and triumphs of life are no
more for her. She has solved the
sublime problem-has crossed the dark
river Of death. Her soul enshrined in
the loveliness of her girlhood, IN its
gentleness, in its purity, in its faithful
ness has appeared before her God and
tie eternal gates have swung wide ajar
and angels voices have welcomed hel
to paradise. Universally beloved,
with kind and affectlonate father
loving brothers and sisters, with a joy.
Gus, sunny disposition Virgie had all to
live for, and we can but marvel at the
ways of Providence-and with sad
dened, sorrowing hearts but unfalterins
trust say ''Thy will not ours be done.
Ii after life, to the friends of he
youth will come the memory of the
dear, sweet girl now laid to rest, bring
ing gentle solace to the restless sou
and causing to be uttered prayer t
God that we may meet again.

stranding of the Queen Of the Pacific.

On last Tuesday at 2 o'clock, NJ,
the steamer Queen Of the Pacific in at
tempting to enter the mouth of the
Columbia river in a thick fog ran
aground on the outside of Clatsop spit.
She had on board 232 passengers, be-
sides the crew and 1900 tons of freight
The sea was fortunately calm and the
tugs from Astoria were thus able to
transfer all the passengers safely to
Astoria before night came on. The
only accident that occurred was that TO
lady who had her leg severely crushed
between the life boat and the side of
the steamer. Had the sea been rough
there would have been fearful loss of
life. After the passengers were saved
attention was given to saving the vessel.
About 700 tons of general merchandise
was jettisoned and at nigh tide on
Wednesday the tugs Pioneer, Brennan,
Astoria and Columbia succeeded In
towing her back into deep water unin-

age to Portland. The Queen is mag
