Do men ever fall in love with
each other?
Women do. Not long ago n
young woman in New Jersey was
married 10 a youthful laborer on
her fathers farm. Sometime alter
ward ii was discovered that the hus-
band was a female; tine young wife
refused, however, though earnestly
entreated by her friends, 10 give up
her chosen cOnSOFt. The strangest
part OF the discovery was the tact
that the bride knew her husband
was \ woman before she was led to
The altar.
Ifmen 10 not exhibit this strange
infatuatiOn for one Of their own sex,
they at least oftentimes give evil
dence Of the fact that they love one
another. There are many instanc, :
on record where one man has given
his life for another. There are many
more instances where men have
given life to another.

WALDPORT ITEMS.

EDITOR GAzETTE:-This is a cred
letter day. for Alsea bay. The w. B.
Harrison sailed to-day for Portland,
with her first cargo of lumber. She
rode with majestic pride across the
bar, spread her white wings, and with
steam and sails took her course for the
metropolis of the northwest. May
Neptune speed her on her way.
Mr.. David Ruble is erecting a new
residence on Broadway. Mr.. James
Harrison is also building on his lots.
This savors strongly of a matrimonial
venture.
Considerable work has been done on
the Waldport and Tidewater road.
The amount of travel over the new
Alsea river road is gratifying in the ex-
treme, to the denizens of the bay.
The steamer Mischief has been ex-
pected here at any time, for some days,
with cargo of merchandise. In the
meantime there is almost famine in
our town. We trust that the w. H.
Harrison will remedy this evil in the
future JACK SHAW.

COL. T. EGENTON HOGG RECEIVER,

Our citizens will learn without much

uncertainty in the affairs of the Ore
gon Pacific Railroad Company has come
to an end.
The Oregon Pacific Railroad and
the Willamette Valley and Coast Rail
road Company were, on the 2Sth in
stant, placed in the hands of a re-
ceiver, on the petition OF the Farmers
Loan & Trust Company, of New York,
who represent the bondholders.
Their counsel, Mr.. d. w. Mcclure,
of the firm of Turner, Mcclure &
Rolston, of New York, applied to
Judge Pipes, at Eugene, for the order,
and for the appointment of Col. T. E.
Hogg as such receiver. The receiver
gave the required bonds and completed
with all formalities, and yesterday en-
tered into full possession of the prop
erty.
All employees of the railroad were
Immediately discharged from the ser
vice of the company, and then at once
engaged till further orders by the re-
ceiver.
1t is understood that these steps are
preliminary to a reorganization of the
company, and that meanwhile the
traffic of the road will be developed
and cared for by the receiver to its
fullest practicable extent.

A BoTcH FROM THE BEGINNING
About the worst botch i'll the way of
public enterprises in Oregon to-day is
the Salem bridge, the people of Marion
and Polk counties really deserve SYM
pathy. The contract was let several
months ago to San Francisco COM
Ipany TO build bridge across the Will
annette at Salem. The contract price
was about $50, 900. Two piers were con-
structed which were condemned by the
county courts, and solid pier of con-
crete was built around the old ones, at
an extra cost Of $4,000. Now the
whole pier is about to tumble into the
river, and the courts are in quandary
how to proceed. Upon the recon-
mendation of one engineer the pier
was ordered to he blasted off to high
water mark with the intention of build
ing two cylinder piers upon this foun-
dation. Now comes another engineer
who says the whole pier should be
blasted out and new ones constructed,
which, judging from reports, is about the
only thing that can be done to make
the bridge substantial structure. If
the last engineers plans are adopted.
it will add an extra cost of nearly S20,-
900. This with the $4,000 already ex.
pended, will make about $4,000 that
the tax payers of those counties will
have to pay in addition to the contract
price and the bridge will hardly be
started either ~ substantial suspen-
sion bridge could have been built for
less money.
