The Forests of oregon.

Another source ofimmense wealth
in the state Of Oregon is her forests.
No state in the Union has greater
variety of valuable trees or fine
woods. These include sugar pine
and silver pine, cedar, red, yellow
and white fir, redwood, and spruce
of different varieties; ash, hemlock,
maple, myrtle, white oak, laurel,
alder, dogwood, wild cherry, hazel,
chittamwood, and Oregon yew;
three species ofpoplar-the quaking
asp, cottonwood and balm tree,
live-oak and chestnut oak, nutmeg,
tamarack, mountain mahogany,
juniper, birch, box elder, and many
other varieties. In addition, there
are the vine maple, growing from
6 to IL inches i'll diameter and from
IL to 80 feet in height; the Oregon
crab-apple, which grows in groves,
making the forest impenetIable for
man or beast; and many other
varieties. The Oregon cedar grows
to an immense size. 1t is no un.
common thing in the forests OF
Tillamook and Coos counties, on
the coast, to find vast forests ol
these trees 10 to IL and very often
Is feet in diameter and from 600 tc
ESQ feet in height. The Oregon
sugar-pine grows to $50 feet in

Next Saturday the board of L.
S. engineers will hold a meeting at
Newport at which time they will
give hearing to all the various
bodies Of business men, boards of
trade, etc., who will appear before
them to set forth the importance
Yaquina Bay, as harbor, holds to
the great and growing commerce of
the central and eastern portions of
the state. The facts will be set
forth BY representative bodies of
men from the principal towns and
cities in the Willamette valley out
side of Portland. They will pro-
duce facts and figures to show that
the Yaquina route is a natural
gateway to the markets of the
world for all the products Of their
various sections, and that it is the
route Of the least resistance FOR .heir
commerce to travel. All classes
will be represented before the board.
The merchant will be there asking
that the heartless grasp of the rail-
roadS,b loosened from his trade by
the opening and completion of this
harbor. The farmer will be there
asking that the government also
extend to him aid in the way of
making it possible for ocean vessels
to enter and carry away his grain
without his having to pay the long
and expensive hauls of the rail-
roads and the costly towing and
| lightering of the grain vessels.
The growing commerce of the Bay
country itself will be shown to the
engineers and fair and comprehen-
sive idea of the importance of va
quina Bay to the people Of Oregon
will be had by them. With these
facts before them it is not hoping
too much, or hoping without cause,
to hope that their report will be
favorable to the further improve
ment of the natural advantages Of
Yaquina harbor.

the catchy wording q POLITICAL plat
forms framed to incite the la vu..e.
Here is where the Republican party
must make labor votes, she said; elf
we promise much and perform nothing
we cannot retain their confidence
Nh. Jacobson held that only 10 per
cent of labor was organized: and that
this 70 per cent was Disseminated
against and in favor of the % per cent
unless the amendment were adopted.
If the Republican party made rash
promises it had no right to fulfill
them, and the only sensible way was
to legislate in favor of the majority.
Mr.. Downs thought the amendment
should be adopted and Mr.. Rice said
it simply meant that instead of pro-
tecting labor from the unjust oppres-
sion of railroad and other corporations
the amendment was simply another
lash to be laid on the back CT labor.
REPUBLICAN CONSISTENCY.
Mr. Nelson, in the name of consist
ency, called upon the Republicans to
support the amendment. Said he: Re
publicanS have enacted many laws
governing the rela tions Of labor and
about to catch the Rockefellers. the
Pullmans and the managers of the
eighteen railroad systems centering in
Chicago, but they all got away. How
ever. when they started in to catch the
laboring men, not one got away. They
are still after the laboring man, and
they will certainly adopt this amend
ment in order to be consistent"
1c+r
ment was all right and provided the
same safeguards for non-union as it
did for the union laborer, and Mr..
Robbins agreed to the merit of this
proposition, but opposed the amend
ment on the ground that it had no
business to be tackled onto a bill of
this kind, and if enacted at all it
should be as al separate statute.
Mr.. Cant poured some hot shot into
the amendment as being intended to
thWart the purpose of the original
bill, and Mr.. Feig moved to strike out
the offensive amendment On this
proposition a division was called, re-
sulting in a victory for the labor men,
the vote standing 81 to q, Mr. Sander
of Ramsey county, voting with the
opponents of organized labor The BILL
with the amendment stricken out, was
recommended to pass.
The further consideration of the
Ives Impeachment proceedings was
postponed to 1880 Monday evening
There was a short and spirited dis
cussion over Mr.. Nash's bill to make
the terms of county auditor and treas
urer four years, having them alter
nate, and a motion to indefinitely post
pone was easily carried.
The reason for the postponement of
the hearing in the Ives case was the
fact that many members would be out
of the city, and it was desirable to
have a full attendance when the mat
ter was finally determined.

of them leave the church at its con-

A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE
in connection with the murder is the
fact that Miss Williams was a close
friend of Miss Blanche Lamont. a
young girl from Montana, who has
been missing for ten days. Mrs.
Noble, Miss Lamont's aunt, was the
first to discover the dead body of
Miss Williams in the church. Mrs.
Noble today received through the
mails paper in which were wrapped
three rings worn b. her missing
niece the night she disappeared. On
the paper was the name of Theodore
Durant, the young dental student
VINO made the appointment with
MISS Williams, the murdered girl
last night. The police have as vet
maze no arrest, and the double mys-
terry is puzzling the whole city. Miss
Williams was not a servant as at
hrst stated. Her parents had SEN
arated, and as her mother could NOT
support her, the girl was living with
trends, VINO kindly gave her a home

Reports of Her Marriage to Mill
ionaire Seaman Confirmed.


NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Morning
Advertiser says: Nellie Bly,, who is
one of the best known newspaper
women in the country, is no longer
Miss Elizabeth Cochran. She is now
Mrs. Robert Seaman. Her husband is
one of the directors of the Merchants
Exchange National bank and a multi
millionaire. He lives at No. Is West
Thirty-seventh street, and is nearly
seventy years old. In business and
financial circles he is quite as well
known as his wife is to the deVotees
of the Sunday newspapers. The re-
ports of their marriage, which came
from Chicago, were quite correct. 1t
occurred on April 5, at the rectory of
the Church of the Epiphany, in Ash
land avenue, of that city. Rev. TEeo
dore NJ. Morrison performed the cere-
mony. The contracting parties had
met at dinner in the Auditorium
hotel two weeks before. and conceived
an instant attachment.
Mrs. Seaman was interviewed last
night by reporter, and said: Il can
not deny the rumor. L was married to
Mr. Seaman in Chicago He left the
following day for New York. Owing
to my business affairs and to his, we
both desired to keep it secret for a
time. 1t is his wish, as soon as ar
rangementS are completed, to make a
formal announcement of the wedding.
Sickness in my own family also
caused us to delay its publication"
Miss Cochran edited her first news
paper work on the Pittsburg Dispatch
when she was fifteen years old: She
has been engaged in similar work in
New York for about eight years, and
has become famous for the sensational
character of her contributions to
newspaper literature. One of her first
exploits was to feign insanity and get
herself incarcerated in the Blackwell
Island asylum for the purpose of de-
scribing her experiences. Her trip
around the world in seventy-two days
in 1890 gave her considerable notori-
ETY..
