completeness and elegance by any SINH.
lar establishment of the kind in the
world. Ii is situated on Fifty-hfth
street, having frontage Of fifty feet
ON the street, and being three-story
building, constructed in the most sub
stantial and elegant manner of brick
and stone
On the ground floor the entire front
of the building is occupied by harness
room. which is lofty apartment 5sx35
feet and fitted up in the most luxurious
style imaginable. The floor of Geor-
gia pine is kept so clean that one might
eat from il, and the walls are finished in
ash and other woods, the decorations
of the room being in a similar style.
Plate.glass windows let in an abundance
Of light during the daytime, and when
service is required of the horses or men
after nightfall there is an elaborate sys-
TEN of lighting by gas all the different
portions of the barn, this being regu-
lated by electricity, so that the gas may
be used in or turned OF from any de.
sired portion of the building.
As one enters the carriage-room he
sees on his left three or tour carriages,
they being portion of IA dozen vehicles
which the rockefeller family use on
state occasions, and alongside Of these
elaborate affairs are four road-wagOns
with spidery wheels, all finished in the
most substantial manner and built TO
carry weight with safety at high rate
Of speed. Then there is coach, a
village cart for the children, etc. On
one side Of the room is q large harness
and bit case, in which also are kept a
number of saddles. Three coach har-
nesseS, three double harnesses, and four
single ones were in the case when re-
porter visited the barn not long ago,
and the display wa certainly an at
tractive one. The Jack of the case be-
ing Of black velvet. caused the harness
10 show off 10 the best advantage, and
interspersed with them were over forty
bits Of Various designs, all polished 10
the highest degree.
The harnesses of the oil-millionaire
are hung on gold-plated brackets which
cost $40 each, being manufactured to
his order, and the saddles are disposed
of in a similar manner. In fact every
thing about the barn denotes the pres
ence of great wealth and an evident de-
termination on the part of its owner
that his barn should lie bigger, and bet
ter, and more costly than anybody else's.
The wheels of the carriages rest on strips
Of carpet that would adorn any draw
ing.roOm, and the robes that protect the
millionaire and his children when they
90 out for family drive on day that
is cold are made of the most expensive
fIIrs. There are sealskin robes that cost
1900 Or $500 apiece, otter robes that do
not come much cheaper, and afghans on
which months of high-priced labor have
been spent, but not buffalo robe in

Increasing Freights.

Freight shipments over the Oregon Pacific
railroad and steamship line to San Francisco
is increasing every week. Mr.. A. Grant, OF
the Salem Mills company, was in Corvallis
TINS week, and informed us that they had
perfected arrangements for shipping their
exports over this line. The Salem company
have their own river boats, and can carry
their freight to this place at less expense
than to Portland. The Oregon Pacific rail-
road company will soon build wharf and
warehouse on the river alongside their track
in this place, where any and all boats may
discharge freight without extra wharf
charges. 1t is expected that all of the up
per river freight will be shipped over this
line this season. The farmer is jubilant over
the prospects of lively competition in
freight rates, all of which has been brought
about by the operation of the Oregon Paci-

An Oregonian correspondent writing from
South Newport under date Of Oct. 18th,
says: The late southerly weather has made
considerable change on ths south beach at
the government works. The sands filed in
ON the south side of the tramway to the
extreme end of it, so that the beach is over
= quarter of mile wide at low water. The
flood tides have cut the south channel con-
siderably deeper and in a straight line from
the end of the jetty. The receding tide
washes the sands from the bay through the
north channel and beyond the jetty, and
they are carried to the south beach, the gov
ernment improvements holding it there and
stopping its return to the bay. All that is
necessary to secure % feet Of water on the
bar land this is the depth of sand and water
to bedrock)is large appropriation and col =

Robber and Murderer.

Mr.. G.. Hodes informs us that one night
this week some hoodIum who seems to have
been well acquainted with his property, and
also that he ''sleeps soundly for the first ten
hours, broke into his poultry !. ard and stole
one dozen fat turkeys. The fact that the
guilty party stole the turkeys is evidence OF
a robber, and the presumable fact that he
slaaghtered them, is sufficient to brand him
as murderer. Our friend Hodes asks US to
inform the culprit tnat his second return to
his poultry yard will be greeted with a dose
of salt and pepper, administered by means
of shot gun, as he will in the future sleep
with one eye open.
