Astoria Pioneer: 1t is an interesting
sight TO witness the work out upon The
jetty at the mouth of the river. The mat
tresses of pine brush, or fascines, are
made under the trestle by suspending
the piling the bundles of pine boughs up
on the frame work thus made until a
thickness of five feet is made, when the
whole lot, at low tide is lowered and ST.
cured to the bottom by rock until ton
or two from the cars can be dumped upon
it. The boiling sand around the rocks
which have been dumped into the water,
in ride over the trestle, Illus
trates the utility of the work and demon
strates how the sand is formed into bars.
The deepening process now going on,will
make it possible for vessel drawing 30
feet of water to enter with the utmost
ease.
Oreqonian: Ira F. Powers, agent of the
Bows and Girls Aid Society, placed Jessie
Dooley, a girl II years of age in the GUS
tody of Alonzo Johnston, of Yamhill
county. Some months ago tn girl was sent

mental condition. She was committed to
the ASYLUM at Salem, but recently Mr..
Powers was notified that nothing allied the
child but improper treatment to which she
had been subjected while living with the
Johnston's. officer II. c. Wood was de-
tailed to investigate the matter, and he
accordingly went to Yamhill county. There
he heard that Johnston, fellow 40 years OF
age, had outraged the child to such an ex-
tent as to temporarily destroy her mental
faculties, Officer Wood collected sufficient
evidence against Johnston so as to justify
the grand jury to indict him for his un-
manly crime.
