full in their mission.
We have an able and interesting
article on the Rock creek country
which we are unable to publish
this week for lack of space.
We understand that A. Rosebrook
the musician, has secured position
with an orchestra in Portland, and
viii leave for that place next Mon
day.
Sam Logan expects to get a job
as deep sea diver, and so to get in
practice took dive into the chilling
waters Of Depoe Slough near the
saw mill. He found the water
wet.
Coll. VanCleave came in from his
home at Albany Wednesday even
ing of this week. He will get out
an issue Of the Yaquina Post this
week and probably returned to his
family Saturday morning.
Mrs. Altree will soon start a
restaurant in the building now oc-
cupied by II. Lewis. Mr.. Lewis
will move his goods into the post
office building and Postmaster Burt
will move the Office into the Nc
Dougall store building. All these
changes will occur about the first
of May.
The business men Of Yaquina
City feel that the action of the o.
p. In paying no time checks out Of
the 43 per cent Of back pay worked
serious hardship upon them.
They have been carrying the em-
ployes for many months and taking
time checks for security and they
think in all fairness that the same
per centage of those should have
been paid as was paid the actual la
borers.
Sheriff lands informs us that
taxes are being paid at very good
rate, he having received up to date
something near $4,000. He states
also, that he is receiving many
letters every day from non-residents
who are not on the roll making ell
quiiies concerning their taxes. 1t
is safe to say that the tax roll will
be more equable affair after Sheriff
lands gets through with it as he
is doing almost us much assessing
as he is collecting.

An Elk City correspondent of
the Corvallis Times says: A short
time ago the murderer Burdette
Wolfe passed through this place on
his way up Big Elk. He acted
like crazy man. A lady who saw
him on the road recognized him as
the identical man who killed the
young lady in East Portland, while
going home from Sunday School,
This lady said she knew him in
Portland, II was q great mistake
that the authorities were not noti-
fed so that he could have been ar
rested, Special vigilance should
be kept up for such fellows.
The contract between the citizens
and railroad company has been
duly executed by both parties and a
substantial brick depot is assured
to Toledo. BY the terms Of the
contract the citizens agree to pay
$3.50, in money and TO furnish an
equal amount of labor on the build
ing. The company, in return
agree to erect within sixty days
from the date of the contract a
brick depot building at Toledo of
the sire aud dimensions as before
agreed upon, which, we believe,
was 1ox6o feet. This will be a
great benefit to the town and sur
rounding country.
