THE JETTY AT YAQUINA BAY.-The
government plant at this point is in
perfect order and nothing new is
needed to resume work. But as there
is an immense amount of dirt to be
removed from the top of the rock at
the quarries it is doubtful if any enrock-
ment can be done this season. The
government has splendid lot of piles
in the water up the river, sufficient to
complete the north jetty. These piles
are paid for and are ready to be towed
down. The north jetty is to be ex-
tended 1900 feet, about 1000 or 1900
on the present alignment, then curved
SO as to run parallel with the south
jetty. For this distance it will parallel
the south jetty, the two jetties being
just 1000 feet apart. The piling of
the south jetty will probably answer
for the next seasons work with slight
repairs, but many of the top timbers
will have to be replaced. The south
jety rock work has settled considera-
bly,, and large quantity of stone will
have to be used on that side to bring
the enrockmenU to the required heighth.
1t will be only few days now before
it will be known what amount and
kind of work the department will do
this season.--Yaquina Republican.

In JUSTICE CoURT-In the case oi
the State VS. Tom Reed charged with
assaulting Nancy Slator, tried last Sat
urday In Justice Turney's court, the
jury found the defendant guilty, as
charged. This little difficulty has cost
Reed broken arm and finger, a fine
of $40, the costs in two suits, amount
ing to S1l3,45, and a whole lot of ex-
perience. He has no doubt discovered
by this time that all women are not the
delicate little creatures they are said
to be, and that some of them when
aroused to action are more vigorous in
defending their cause than many Of the
men are.-Last Tuesday the case of the
State VS. Samuel Galloway occupied the
greater portion of the day. Galloway
was charged with assaulting John
Larson one day last week at the Sum.
NIT, the jury brought in a verdict
against the defendant, Galloway. He
was fined $50 including the costs in
the case amounting to $63.

chased 100 acres of land five miles north
of Corvallis on the road to Albany this
week, of Hairless & Davisson, and will
set 1t all out in prune and pear trees

the interest that is being taken in the
fruit industry in the vicinity ofCorvallis
of late, We are informed shat another
company is egotiating for the purchase
Of tract of $50 acres near here, with
the intention of fsetting out the whole
amount in fruit trees this fall. If the sale

PROGRESSING. Probably more pro-
gress has been made in repairing and
building new sidewalks and crosswalks
in Corvallis during the past two
months than in the past two years.
the city has had many Of the old and
dangerous crosswalks replaced with
new ones and property owners are re-
pairing or building new walks in every
part of the city and yet only fair start
i'll this direction has been made. 1t is
interesting to note the spirit shown by
the citizens in such matters.
Some take pride in keeping their walks
in first-class condition, while others
wait until they are compelled by the
marshal to repair them, then, perhaps,
they will only patch up a hole, or drive
a nail here and there, and leave the
walk in little better condition than it
was before. Such work should not be
accepted.

OREGON FLOUR Samples
of flour have been received from Ore
gon, Colorado, Idaho and Washington,
with view of assertaining what flour
from these various states will bring in
our market" says the Chicago Trade
Bulletin, "and it is thought that some
business can be done with those sec
tions. The quality Of the flour is very
good, and Oregon and Washington
show up the best. Colorado and
Idaho flour is not quite as good color as
the former, but can be made good use
of in pastry"

played between the Varsity and Kendalls. 1t
was a walk-over for the Georgetown boys.
Shoemaker pitched fine game, although his
arm was sore. The Kendalls secured their runs
principally through errors on the part of George
town. Only five innings were played The
score stood to 2l in favor of Georgetown.
The next game comes off on May ! on the
College grounds between the University of
Pennsylvania and the Varsity team. AS the
Georgetowns have been strengthened by play
ers from the Law and Medical Departments a
close game is expected.
The boat crew practices every afternoon from
4 to O'Clock and is making good progress.
The Georgetown Reserves have been organ
lied and would like to hear from any similar

Gen. George H. Thomas in Oil.

There is on exhibition in the rooms of the
Hon. Edward Clark, the Architect of the Capt.
tol, a portrait of Gen George II. Thomas, by
Mr.. Alexander Lawrie of New York, which has
met the approval of many friends of the late
hero, among them Gen. o. o. Howard, who
pronounces it an admirable picture and portrait
Gen. Whipple, chief of staff of Gen. Thomas,
saw Mr. Lawrie's picture before it left his
studio in New York, and pronounced it an ad-
mirable portrait Of hIm, and in a recent visit
with Mrs. Whipple, she pronounced it "the best
portrait of Gen, Thomas she had ever seen, the
only one that gives fair idea of his presence" I"
Nh. Lawrie served under Gen, Thomas during
the war and knew him well, ana he wants the
portrait judged on its merits as faithful
portrait and a work Of art.
An effort will be made to have the Govern
ment purchase this portrait of Gen. Thomas, as
no portrait of that eminent hero is owned by
the Government.

AlI-Night Street Cars.

Several good effects likely to come from
the successful Inauguration of regular traffic
by the cable-line cars on Seventh street. 1t is
said that especial efforts are to be made by the
Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company
to please and accommodate the public to the
fullest extent possible. One of the chief bene-
fits to be realized by the public is to be the
running of all-night cars along Pennsylvania
avenue. The calculation in this respect is said
to have been made on the basis Of half-hourly
trips between IL o'clock midnight and O'Clock
in the morning.

The Postmaster Generals Estimates Causes
CONSERVATION Among Them.
There is CONSERVATION in the ranks of the
Post Office Clerks Association, caused by the
reported estimate submitted to the Heuse APP
propriations Committee by Postmaster General
Wanamaker. The circular sent out by Secre-
tary O'Maley, of the P. o. c. A., states that
the estimate cuts down the appropriation from
last year something like $390,000, which is oc-
casioned by the fact that no provisions are made
for carrying into effect the classification law
that was passed last year. If this estimate of the
Post Office Department is followed, it will
either create deficiency, be the cause of
reducing every clerk who last July obtained an
advance to the stipend previously obtained
This would entail considerable hardship, and to
offset it the Clerks Association are zealously
at work endeavorng to induce Congress not to
follow the estimate, but to deal literally with
the salary question. The clerks are very well
satisfied with the bill lately introduced in the
Senate by Senator Washburn, which grades
their salaries so that every one receives an ad-
vance each year until a certain figure is reached,
after which promotions come only through be-
ing made foreman. 1t places letter and paper
distributors on an equal footing, while in every
other instance it raises the clerical force to
uniform level. The bill meets with the hearty
approval Of all the friends of the clerks.

Dreadful If True.

Plaques, reigns OF terror, confiscation and dis
persion Of concentrated wealth. mingled with an
archy together with all that they necessitate and
imply, certainly before this generation, or
future generations during purifying cycle of
appalling horrors and of stupendous proportions
Watt
A man who says he has been a tramp
among tramps. thug among thugs, a
drunkard among drunkards and a dude
among dudes, writes in The Chicago
Times paper concluding with the above
dolorous proposition.
He says the epidemic of the grippe is
what appeared in Europe in 1867. and
was called the influenza because people
attributed it to the malign influence of
the stars. The fact that doctors can do
little or nothing against it shows what
may be looked for in case the black
plague follows the grippe. and this
cheerful writer has reason to think it
will do SO.
When the race deteriorates through
generations of bad and unholy living,
and its blood becomes very generally vi
tiated and poisoned. then nature sends
great plague to sweep it from the earth
and begin over again. 1t is now almost
time for such wiping off Of the slate,
our prophet says. Such clearing up he
calls a cycle of publication.
The black plague first appeared in Eu-
rope in the time of Justinian. 1t lasted
fifty years and carried off nearly 1O0,-
0O0, 900 persons. 1t is sometimes called
the black death, and is the most loath.
some, fatal and horrible disease ON rec
ord.
There were four epidemics of the black
death in Europe between l477 and III.
In Paris there were 10000 deaths; in
Moscow 100000. In Naples there were
1000 deaths in five months, which
may be explained by the fact that Naples
will bear more purifying than any other
city in Christendom or heathendom. In
London, i'm population of 100000, there
were 6S,5gG deaths. OF the 10000 in
habitants of Halle, 4,397 died.
Our prophet concludes that the blood
of civilized peoples is now again about
bad enough for another cycle of purifi-
cation, and that it is bound to come.
With what winged speed it, will travel
when it does come is shown by the
progress of the grippe. The prophet
saws further "Epidemics are nature's
seayengers."

A Colored Mans Speech.

Rev. ". b. Derrick. colored man of
Washington. has been giving the negro's
view of the question of deporting the
blacks to Africa or somewhere else. In
a speech at meeting to elect delegates
to the colored national convention he
said. among other things. this:
We are not here for the purpose of applying the
torch or drawing the sword Nor have politics
anything to do with my discourse. This Is an oc-
cason when the interests Of our whole race all
over the country demand attention. During my
recent visit to the south, where there are five
millions and half of recently manumitted slaves
noticed that the ante bellum spirit of preju-
dice was found TO be growing Whyf The negro S
intelligence and industry was suppressed under
slavery But il is not true that freedom has made
MIN indolent The crops of all the great staples
have enormously increased during the years of
free labor
The negro is the life blood of the nations COM
merce lie produces the cotton that gives thou
sands employment in New Englands spinning
mills Yet Mr. Morgan wants the negro TO go.
tell you the lumber has not yet been grown In
Georgia or Carolina forests that will make the
planks for the vessels to bear the negroes away
from America In three southern states the ne
groes pay taxes over SlO00O00O of real estate.
This does not look as II the negro was lazy and
thriftless
All the negro asks is on equal chance with the
white man In the battle of life. He cannot be
half slave and half free. The whole trouble arises
out of the negro's relations TO the white in his
new character as a citizen He has not yet had a
fair chance Twenty-Five years is too little time
for the negro to reach the same plane of advance
ment as the white race occupies 1t took the
white race over a thousand years to get there IL
is political equality and not social equality the
gro aspires to. Social equality is phantom
