LET us work Those words are

OCCIDENTAL JOTTINGS.
News And Notes Of a General In
terest to the WesteFner.

A supposed case of smallpox has
developed in Albany, the patient
being James East.
The Yaquina Republican says
Mehama is becoming quite sum-
mer resort for the citizens OF
| Salem.
14OO men are now engaged in
grading and general construction on
the Oregon Pacific road, and splen-
did progress is being made.
Physicians estimate that in the
neighbornood of 10000 persons in
Portland were vaccinated since the
appearance of smallpox in that city.
The steamer Yaquina Bay still re-
mains on the rocks alongside the
tetty and is gradually breaking up.
There seems to be no further hope
of saving the vessel.
The teachers institute for the
Second Judicial District, appointed
to meet at Corvallis, on the 26th,
9th and 28th of this month, has
been postponed, in view of the
fact that contagious diseases are pre-
vailing to limited extent in various
parts of the state. ..l..
The Coqutlle valley papers claim
that the climate OF that valley has
so changed in the last twenty years
that grapes, corn, tobacco and
sorghum which would not do any
good down there at all twenty years
ago, are now cultivated with COM
plete success.
A great deal Of freight is awaiting
shipment over the Oregon Pacific's
line and the loss or disablement of
the Yaquina Bay will cause great
inconvenience, unless another steam
er can be put on in her place lmme-
diately. Mr.. Hoag says this will be
done, and the well-Bnown energy of
the officers is a guarantee that moth
ing short of jmpossibilities will pre-
vent the company from meeting
even this difficulty with its accus-
toned readiness.

AHermit's Strange Death.

Yesterday morning the decom-
posed remains of Matthew Harrison,
IA peculiar old man who resided near
Lake Labish, were found in the
woods near his home. He was a
strange hermit-like old man who
lived quite to himself among the
trees, guarding his flocks and tilling
the soil. Frequently he would dis
appear and and remain absent, no
one knew where, for several weeks
and unheralded would re-appear.
Living lone life, little was known
of him and his absence was not
noticed. Yesterday morning Alex
Lahemme, an old hunter and trap
per of that vicinity, was following u
trail near old man Harrison's cabin
when he was startled at coming
upon the outstretched form of the
old hermit. The sheriff and coro-
ner were at once notified and an in
quest is now being held.
1t is supposed the old man had
been dead couple of weeks, as his
beard had dropped out and the
flesh was falling from his bones.
He has no known relatives. He leaves
quite little property, consisting Of
$50 sheep and eighty acres Of land.
No cause is assigned for his death,
other than that he was taken with
a fit while wandering through the
wood and expired, being too weak
TO reach the cabin.

More Of the Astoria Road.

Secretary Manning of the Board
of Trade is to-day in receipt of a
communication from e. G. Holden,
secretary of the Astoria & South
Coast railway, in which the informa-
tion is given that the directors OF
the road will hold a meeting to-
night for the consideration of the
several communications from the
Salem Board Of Trade, in relation
to the construction Of the line
from Salem to Tillamook. Mr..
Holden says the further considera-
ton of special conference between
the railway company and the Salem
committee has not been brought up
since the return of President Devlin
from the east ten days ago, but to-
night action will be taken. The
Astorians had received the false in
formation that Salem had organized
and incorporated separate com
pany for the construction Of the
proposed line. This accounts for
the delay. The JOURNAL repeats,
that if we desire TO secure this road
we must unite and work for it.

Its Value Recognized.

A subscriber from Kansas writing
us, says: "The article in the CAP
ITAL JOURNAL on the use Of lemons
in smallpox and on the mode OF
prevention and cure of that disease
is worth millions to your readers
if they will bear 1t in mind. 1t is
moreover a fact that persons who
are accustomed to healy food,
meats, etc, and who do not use
much fruits, If attacked by blood
or skin disease are cured almost mi-
nCulously bya change of diet and
free use of lemons, fruits, etc."
