THE DEDICATION.

The ceremony of dedication was performed
this morning in the large pavilion erected for
the purpose near the monument. The cold
northwest wind had full sweep at the monu-
ment lot and seemed to come from every point
OF the compass. AS is usually the case upon
such occasions, quite number of people were
at the monument long before IL o'clock the
hour for commencing the ceremonies, and
hugged the lee-side Of all the buildings in the
vicinity in effort to keep comfortable These
seemed more deSirOus of witnessing the military
display than the ceremonies. When the hour
ior commencing the ceremonies had arrived the
large pavilion was scarcely one-Quarter full, but
during their progress there We're constant arriv-
ais, SO that before their completion the building
was hiled. Many persons preferred to remain
in their carriages.
Shortly before IL o'clock Gen. Sheridan, the
marshal OF the day, and his mounted staff, took
their position i'll front of the pavilion, and re-
mained there during the exercises The differ
ent military organizations We're stationed at
different points about the grounds. The Marine
band was stationed in front of the pavilion
which was well adapted for such ceremonies
The structure was covered and partly closed,
and kept off the chilly winds to some extent
but 1t was intensely cold nevertheless. Back
OF the speakers stand were reserved seats for
the National Monument society and Joint COM
mission. To the left were the governors and
their representatives.; to the right, army and
navy officers, and directly in front,
the Diplomatic corps, congressman, and
Judiciary. At few minutes of / o'clock the

At exactly eleven o'clock Senator Sherman,
the presiding officer, called the assemblage to
order with gavel made of a piece of the cap
stone of the monument, with a handle of rose
wood from Brazil, which Colonel Casey pre-
sented to him. He preaced his remarks by
saying nobody is expected to take off his hat,
not even the speakers Mr. Sherman then de-

The Washington National Monument was for
mally dedicated to-day with imposing cere-
monies. The day cold and windy, but the
sky was clear. Many buildings along the line
of the procession were decorated with flags and
gay bunting, which gave rich effects of color in
the bright sunlight. The program arranged for
the ceremonies was faithfully carried out in
every detail. The first part Of the ceremonies
took place at the monument grounds, where the
shaft was dedicated by President Arthur to the
memory of Washington. The procession was
then formed and marched to the Capitol, where
the line was reviewed. The proceedings at the
Capitol which followed comprised an grafton by
Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, of Massachusetts,
read by Hon. John D. Long, of that state, and
an Grafton by Hon. John w. Daniel, of Virginia.

from the people of Albany would be
considered by the company 20 take to
Albany exactly what the people of
Corvallis and vicinity paid their money
for ten years ago, and supposed itjwas
a settled question which could not again
be raised in any event, so that the off
GERS Of the company should be the en-
couragers and promoters of it. Do the
people of Albany want to take without
the consent Of the people of Corvallis
and Benton county what the latter
have bought and paid for ten years ago?
We trust that this break on the part
of the officers of the company, was done
simply because of oversight as to what
has transpired in the past, and that
simply calling attention to the fact will
be all that is necessary to put a stop to
any further deception or misunder-
standing in the matter.

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The Albany Bulletin, strictly in
dependent paper on the subject of an
extra session offers the following COM
ment:
"When an executive body acting for
the people, make a great and serious
blunder in the performance of their
legislative duties, the responsibility
rests upon the people of the state who
chose them through the ballot to exc
cute state legislation.
''It may be urged in favor of a sena-
torial appointment that an appointed
senator can WELD the same influence as
one regularly elected by the legislature,
or the chances are that if he is admit
ted to his seat at all it will be after a
long delay and great expense, exceed
ing the expense of an extra session.
Meanwhile the state is without its
proper representation and the interests
of the country are bleeding for want of
requisite subsidies to develop our
waterways and accommodate the states
commercial demands. Furthermore a
senator appointed by the governor
would hardly get into his seat before
his term of office would expire, and be-
fore another could become conversant
with the methods to make his influence
of material benefit to the state, months
will have elapsed piling up IA mountain
of sacrifices fearful to contemplate.
'.Now as to the expo e Of an extra
session will entail upon the state, as a
great deal has been said through the
press, pro and con, upon that phase of
the subject. Oregon is greatly in need
at the present time of a full and able
representation in the United States
senate, to enable the. state to derive
from the government liberal appropria-
tions for the improvement of our har-
bors. The immediate necessity of
large appropriations for the improve
ment of the Columbia, the completion
of the locks at the Cascades, the i'm
provement of Yaquina harbor and other
harbors and rivers on the coast, is. ur-
gent in the extreme, and any delay in
this matter is sacrifice to the state of
thousands of dollars. To place the ex-
pense of an extra session as an offset
to the sacrifice incurred by the state
for want of proper representation in the
U. S. senate is the sheerest folly and
shortsightedness Comparisons are
odious in. this respect and cannot stand
the test of scrutiny for moment"

After settling such law questions as
might arise, if settled favorable to the
property owner, then there will be a
common sense question to be settled,
by the man whose property or home
has been SO far encroached upon, that
it is of no practical use to him, and
that is ''what can he do with a judg-
ment for damages after he obtains it
against company whose dealings with
other citizens of the county have been
such, that after they had taken humid
reds of thousands Of dollars from citi-
zens of our county under the disguise
of obtaining credit, promising to repay
such to our people every month and
after having invested such in their
scheme, such company has been able
for whole year to set their creditors
at defiance and only pay simply
what they pleased. Under such con-
dition of affairs another legal question
would arise as to whether the courts
would consider such condition of in
solyency proper one upon which to
grant an injunction to prevent further
damage to property until the damage
was forthcoming or made amply secure.
Since the above was put in type We
learn that temporary understanding
was concluded upon, between the COM
pany and the city council, by which the
company agree to run their track
through the center of the street, east
and west to the center of the. street
along the bank of the river, where the
company will make a turn table with
which to turn the cars at right angles,
until the rights of the parties can be
properly determined by adjudication.
This if properly carried out, will prob
ably be the most satisfactory way to all
parties.

\ REAL NECESSITY We presume
there is hardly a lady to be found in
our broad land who, if she does not
already possess a sewing machine, cx-
poets some day to become the owner OF
one
But after the mind has been fully
made up to purchase one OF these in
dispensaule articles, the question arises
as to what kind of machine to buy.
1t should be so simply constructed
that the most inexperienced can sue
cessiullly operate it. The other points
mainly TO be considered, and which
are the most desirable, are durability,
rapidity, capacity for work, ease of
operation, regularity of motion, unifor-
nifty of tension, and silence while in
operation.
The " Light-Running New Home"
fills the above requirements, aud is said
to combine the good points of all sew
ing machines, with the addition of
many new improvements and labor-sav-
ing devices.
The price is no higher than that of
other machines, and every lady who is
the happy possessOr of one may rest
assured she has indeed Il treasure.
