Mr.. Fortson, our County Assessor, makes
a suggestion which appears to us eminently
worthy the attention of whom it may con-
Germ. 1t is the getting up of new and
complete plat of our city, Astonishing to
say, we yet have none but the little old one
made by G. II. Johns almost in the infancy
of our town. Mr.. Fortson says he has IN
his Office plats of every town in the county
save the county seat! He showed as a
nice Autographed plat of Kyle, got up by
the proprietors of that town. We need one
like it, only more complete for San Marcos.
1t would certainly pay well to have one
made, and if Autographed enough copies
could PROBABLY be sold to pay the additional
expense. If the corporation don't feel it.
self able to assume all the expense, the plat
might be made by subscription. The pres
emf condition of the matter is certainly
very inconvenient and detrimental to a
place of the importance and pretensions OF
San Marcos.

Rights of Lessces of Mines When
Owners of Mines are Partners.
The Mining Record SAYS:

Iu the case of Settle vs.. Winters the
Supreme Court of Idaho has quite re-
Gently decided that where parties contract
for lease Of mining property with the
privilege Of purchasing it within fixed
time named in contract and the charac-
ter of the property (such as Of mines
generally is such that it is liable to sud
den huctuatians of value, time is of the
essence al the contract No matter if
the lessees and would be purchaser have
paid consld r'b!e portion Of the pro
posed purchase money it has been out of
the ore OF the mine, and unless all the
purchase money is paid within the lrc-
scrlbed tine Cor tine of option,) the
right of purchase is extinct at the cxpira-
ton Of the time, ar d the original owners
are entitled to hold their property.
In Higgins and others, partners, VS..
Armstrong, the Supreme Court OF Col
orado has decided the following points
When the several owners of the mine
cooperate id working mining partner
ship is hereby established. The law Of
ninipgsarnership differs in some re
spects from that Of common c. mmcrcia
partnership but upon the point that the
acts OF one PARTNER in regard to the busi
ness bind the co partners, the laws agree.

YAQUlNA BAY.

The completion of the Oregon Pacific
Railroad from Corvallis to Yaqnioa Bay,
has brought that section of our state into
notice as summer resort, and many are
visiting that place this season. IRE
journ'y from this city, and almost any
portion of the Willamette Valley, can be
made in one days travel arriving at
Newport about Z o'clock in the evening.
This being the first season the place has
been open as a resort, of course there are
many things which time will add to the
attrac IONS, yet wanting. But We are
confident that Y lqnina City and Nrv-
port will grow in favor year by year.
The road IRON Corvallis to the bay is a
good me, and pa 'ses through as an a
scenery as one could wish to behold,
while the lofty hills shelter the different
place of resort on the bay from h h
winds. The bathing on the bcaeh is not
surpassed by any place on the coast,
while the charges for board are very
reasonable, in fact, as cheap as they eau
be had in Portland. Yaquina City has
fine hotel, which is under the manage
ment of Mr.. William Grant, gentle
man apparently made for the place.

able secure a report on the bill for the
admission Of Washington territory as a
state. Delegate Voorhees, has been
promised BY different members of the
committee that such bill shall be re-
ported before the session closes. 1t is
possible that this result will be reached,
but It %, il will be owing to the personal
solicitations Of Mr.. Voorhees,, FIR If the
dsmocratic majority Of the committee
were to follow their wishes the bill
would DO left to die in the committee
room.
