UP IdlneI roughly Dut no serious
damage was done.
w. H. Harrison, the saw mill
man of Waldport, was in town
this week Oil jury service. He in
forms us that his mill has about
200, 900 feet Of lumber on the wharf
at Waldport for the San Francisco
market, but cannot get a schooner
to come in after it before spring,
At caucas held in Newport last
Tuesday night and the following
officers were nominated: A. H.
Hampton, recorder; Jno. Buckley,
treasurer; A. H. Rowe, marshal;
VIM. Neal, street commissioner.
There will be another caucus to
nominate candidates for the council,
and mayor,
A. r. Chapman, our genial and
accommodating agent has been ap'
pointed general agent for the Ore
gon Pacific with headquarters at
Portland, The station at this place
will be taken by J. {, Mayo, who
has been i'll the general Office at
Corvallis. While we regret to see
Mr., Chapman and his wife leave
our little town, we otherwise re-
joice at his good luck III securing
this position,
Some comment has been made
because the Oregon Pacific road has
been advertised in this county Tor
delinquent taxes. III justice to
Sheriff lands we would say that it
was no fault OF his but of ours that
il appeared i'll the list. The roll
was copied by a man from this
Office and this property was in
advertently copied along with the
other properties when it should not
have been put on according to
Sheriff Lands instruction.
Some unhung rascal or rascals
made another periodical visit to
Mrs. Vincent's chicken house one
night last week and robbed her of
abont a dozen fine chickens some
Of them being thoroughbred Ply
mouth rocks, which she had just
purchased at a good round price,
Anyone that would steal chickens
from Mrs. Vincent, who is one of
the most charitable ladies in the
community is mean enough to do
anything. 1t is pity the grand
jury cant get hold OF the wretches.
The old question of "Is marriage
a lailure?" has never been fully de-
Cidcd, but the fact that divorce is a
glittering success was amply de-
monstrated at the present term of
district court. Ella Knots sued for
n divorce and the decree was grant
ed on Tuesday evening, On We'd
nesday morning when the county
clerk went to his Office to open it
up for the day he found VIM. G..
Reynolds waiting to secure a license
to we'd the said Ella Knots. The
license was duly issued and we
suppose that the said Ella Is not a
Knott nt this writing but Is a Rey-
nolds instead. Should the divorced
husband takes it into his head to
take an appeal before the next six
months OF time elapses the aforesaid
lady may find herSelfa much married
woman.
The Florence West says: "The
great cigar-shnped raft built at
Coos Bay, composed OF piles, and
costing $50, 900, went In pieces on
the bar III an attempt to tow the
monster to sea. From the first it
seemed to be an ill-iated venture,
and each attempt to move the raft
resulted In an accident, but at last
two tugs took it in tow and started
to cross the bar at the mouth of
Coos river. From reports all went
we'll until the tugs themselves near
ed the bar, when both crafts slack
cned their pace to lengthen hawser
between tugs and raft. AS n
natural result the monster swung
out of the channel and fastened
itself on the sand spit, where it
successfully resisted every effort to
remove it, and commenced break
ing in pieces. 1t is reported that
the raft has demolished about 500
feet OF the jetty, and il some relief
is not soon had, more serious
damages will he done.
