Dr. Owens, who with his son keeps the
postoffice and carries on a heavy general
merchandise business, informed us that two
and one half years ago only two mails per
week were received at Waldport. while
now the nsail routes have been increased and

shows that many new people are settling IL

OF Benton county. a...
AT present the only saw mill on the bay
is that owned by Harrison Bros, at Wald-
port. At the time Of our visit they were
busy getting out the timbers for bridge,
the contract for which was recently let by
the county court to Gideon & Rable, to be
bailt across the Slough at Waldport, and in
turning out 1000 salmon cases for Henry
Nice's cannery, also lumber for several new
dwelling houses, among which was that of
James Doty.
After two days visit at Waldport we
concluded to continue our journey down the
coast. But just before leaving we ran
across Uncle Jimmy Collins, the old war
veteran and politician. Uncle Jimmy, al.
though not hale and hearty as he used to be,
still the leading authority on all political
issues of the day. He feels confident that
Harrison will be elected by handsome ma
jority, and thinks that Cleveland should be
dropped out of the political arena for his
actions and gross insults against the old
soldiers during his administration.

DIRECT ROAD TAx.-The following
from the Woodburn World tells OF a
matter of a good deal OF importance to
cities paying road taxes that are spent
entirely outside the limits of the city;
"Silverton IS after the county court
and wants its money paid out in direct
road tax, about $500, refunded to the
city for use upon the streets. Wood
burn should take similar action. An
application should be made for the
money. In all probability test case
will be made by the city of Salem, and
if decided favorably to the city then
Woodburn would receive the money
paid out by its citizens in direct road
tax.

The discovery has been made tina,
ON one side of the new quarter-dollar
there are thirteen separate representa-.
tions of the number thirteen. 1t was
probably the intention of the designer
of the new silver piece to have the
number thirteen to occur thirteen
times, and thus break the thirteen su.
perstltion, but there are few people
who have noticed this fact. There are
thirteen stars, thirteen letters in the
scroll held in the eagles beak, thirteen
marginal feathers in each wing, thirteen
tail feathers, thirteen parallel lines in
the shield, thirteen horizontal bars,
thirteen arrow heads in one foot, thir-
teen leaves on the branch in the other
foot, and thirteen letters in the word
"quarter dollar.'

The excursion to Yaquina bay last
Saturday by the Second Regiment band,
of Salem, was the largest one which
has gone over this season. Nearly 800
people went, yet Newport accommoda-
ted all of them with ease. The one
going from here on the 9th ought to
be and probably will be fully as large.
Many Who are unable to spare the
time from business and professional
duties eagerly embrace the opportunity
to spend day at the seaside which
these. excursions afford, and as the
prices are quite low, almost everybody
can afford to indulge in the pleasure.

The Astorian says Of Prof Shaw,
chemist at the Oregon agricultural
college, who has been attending the
general assembly of tie Chautaugua cir.
Gle recently in session at Astoria: "The
assembly is greatly indebted to Prof.
Shaw, who shows how much instruc-
ton in the truest science can be given
by few simple tubes and reagents
when a genuine teacher is behind
them. Probably no man in the state
has more accurate grasp of the prln-
ciples of chemistry, or a more excel.
lent gift of setting them forth.
