THE BAY MEETING.

The board of U. 8. Engineers, Amos
Stickey, OF Cincinnati; Major Sears, of
Duluth, and Major Post of Portland, re-
turned from the Bay yesterday noon, ac-
companied by U. S. Senator Mcbride,
Capt. Symons, and large delegation of
prominent valley citizens. General sat :
isfaction was expressed over the trip.
During Saturday both jetties were WIS.,
tied and the present status of the work
thoroughly investigated. AS there is no
dispute as to the depth of the water be-
ing fourteen feet at extreme low tide
and % at high tide no soundings
were made. Saturday evening a big
meeting was held at Newport, an en-
thusiastic gathering of men in favor of
building up this great commonwealth.
Reports were made from tie different
counties represented. The most COM
plete was that of Hon. r. A. Bensal in
behalf of the Bay itself. Linn colntv,
is given elsewhere. In connection with
them were speeches by prominent dele
gates, undoubtedly the ablest being that
of Hon. ]. X. Weatherford, of this city,
who perhaps made the speech of his life.
1t made marked impression on the
board as well as all who heard it. 1t was
splendidly sustained by Hon. W.
S. McFadden, of Corvallis, who repre-
sented Benton county in an able manner,
and by ]. j. DAILY, of Polk county,
Speeches were also made by Mayor
Catch, of Salem and Hon. f. Hotter. 1t
was the opinion of at least some of the
Albany delegation that the latter would
have been better if not made at all.
Considerable confidence is expressed
that the board are favorably impressed to
a degree that will result in report that
will be followed by another large appro-
priation.

Ira Campbell Hot.

Mr. Ira Campbell, now in the east,
writes TO his paper, the Guard, OF Eu-
gene, IN a manner TO make one appre-
ciate Oregon. He says:
The writer has just emerged from a
cold water shower bath, but is still ever
lastlngly too hot to do anything TO per-
lection except to use cuss words. Ii is
now nearing the hour of midnight and
the thermometer registers 81 degrees.
while at noon it was 81 and still the peo-
pie here claim to have an excellent
climate. Mosquitoes are here in endless
numbers and assure you my round lace
and goodly sized neck seem TO be a IA
vorite camping place for them. II il was
not Tor the screens used here c everywhere
person would have 10 surrender I'D his
lie at once. Ii our friends Judge Fisk
and Sherwood Burr ever boast about the
climate OF Nebraska again, in my pres
ence at least, they must prepare for an
early funeral.
Think OF it! Last Monday afternoon
a hal storm visited this place breaking
even thit plate glass, and doing at least
$4,000 damages. Hail stones larger
than an egg were plentiful, while saw
one that measured Pa by ga inches.
Traffic on the streets was entirely sus-
pended. The men retired to rooms and
many horses were driven right into
stores, while awnings were all used to
shelter the poor horses. The arc lamps
were all broken TO pieces and telegraph
aud electric wires were down everywhere.
The storm lasted for twenty minutes,
and an hour thereafter the thermometer
registered 50 degrees.
A iew days will see me on my way
back 10 Eugene, hoPe-the best place
TO live Tor enjoyment in the wide world.
And by the way you hear considerable
talk about Oregon around the hotels
while two years ago these same people
did not know such q county existed. The
letter i dated a; Omaha.

GETS HARD HIT.--The Astoria Budget
hits the sheriff who put $2400 costs on
s25 in taxes as follows: Let US see how
it sums. The Budget has been cursed
up hill and down by the friends of ex-
Sheriff Smith for preventing him from
getting re-nominated for sheriff of this
county. He was in Office about seven
years. The Office was not worth less
than $4,000 per year-Sll2, 600 for the
whole time. When he married his last
wife she was worth about $l7 600; now
she is hopelessly involved. 1t is reason
able to estimate that he is in deb. about
$12, ,0OG. That makes $I4I 600, he has
squandered in the time mentioned, and
his wife accepted situation in dress
making shop today at a salary OF 75 cents
per day; his daughter is compelled to
work in the can factory for $3.50 per
week. He left them without a nickel.
This is the man whom the Astorian, the
Herald, some democrats and whole lot
of republicans wanted for sheriff again.
This is the scoundrel whom lot of
thoughtless tools call a good hearted and
generous man.

Mr.. Darling is Goldendale's postmaster

sted is the only Oregon boy who has gone

the examination, twenty-five cadets will
compete for promotion to fill vacancies.
and il the Oregon boy is successful, he
will be advanced to the rank OF Junior
lieutenant, his present rank being cadet
ensign and his position that of aide 10
Admiral Walker on the flagship, Phila-
delphia. Young Olmsted has won the
distinguished honor of ranking second

cent out oi a possible 100 points in the
operation OF high power guns. During
the past two years he has been in South

Uncle Sam is training up as officers, and
success IN securing promotion will please
every 0regonian.

Crop Report.

Following is the U. S. crop report for
the week ending May 13:
The frost of the 9Th did some damage
to potatoes, Strawberries and tender veg
etaticn. 1t has caused or will cause con-
siderable fruit to fall, but as the trees
have been too heavily laden, the frost
will only cause some thinning of the
fruit that otherwise would have been
thinned by hand. No real or serious
damage resulted, because Immediately
after the frost fog and clouds prevailed
over the greater portion of this section
which acted as cover and prevented in
jury. The rain which ceased in on the
Sth was beneficial and the present warm
weather has produced q marked growth
in all vegetation. Some few strawber-
ries are ripe, but it will be week or ten
days yet before large quantities are ripe.
Cherries are showing color in southern
counties. Hops are growing vigorously
and are to the top Of poles in many
yards. Winter sown barley is heading
out and early sown fall wheat has begun
to show heads. Potato planting contin-
ues in coast counties. In the valley
counties many fields Of potatoes have the
vines above ground. Grapes are in leaf.
Roses have commenced to bloom. The
ground is in q moist condition and with
warm bright sunshine, rapid growth OF
all vegetation will ensue. Many cores
pondents note the unusual bright crop
prospects at the present time prevailing.
In Eastern Oregon the outlook is good.

Judge Hewitt Renders His Decision
I'm the Railroad Commits.
sioners Case.

Judge II. II. Hewitt, OF this city today
rendered his decision liz the case of. b.
Eddy agt ii. X. Kincaid Secretary of State
asking for mandamus, compelling him
10 deliver over TO Mr.. Eddy as railroad
commissioner, warrant for his salary.
The decision overrules the demurrer OF
the defendant to the mandamus and
orders the Secretary of State to issue a
warrant for the amount asked. The ar
gument is long and exhaustive, and con-
tains an interesting feature, that of an
opinion by Governor Lord, while on the
bench, covering the same point and
practically settling the case. 1t was as
serted by the defense that the appointing
OF the commissioners was an executive
function, and that therefore the law pro-
viding for the election of the railroad
commissioners was unconstitutional.
Judge Hewitt holds that the Law is con-
stitutional and that the present COM
missioners may hold until their tuccess-
ors are elected and qualify.
This decision was anticipated by the
DEMOCRAT several weeks ago. Ii is un-
donbtedly good law "a fact to be regretted
in the present Case OF men not wanted,
hiling an unpopular office.
