Newport.

This charming summer resort has
no superior on the coast. It is reached
by Oregon Central and Eastern r. R.
after few hours ride through a
beautiful section of the country, and a
half hours ride in the company : de-
lightful little steamers. 1t commands
a fine view of Yaquina Bay and the
Pacific ocean. The town has fine
hotels and restaurants, livery stables
and markets. The charges are reason
able. Fish, crabs, CLANS and oysters
are abundant. The air is refreshing,
the climate very comfortable. Campers
have the choice of many convenient
places along the beach. Bathing is
made safe by long, even and sandy
beach, where men, women and chill
dren enjoy inyigorating salt baths. Evry
body can be suited at Newport. The
rich can find all the luxuries their
wealth can give them, while the poor
can find equal pleasures in the simple
and popular mode of camping along
the beach. Foul Weather Light House
is an interesting point to which every
body goes. A few weeks spent at
Newport will give you much pleasure
and renewed strength. There is no
place like Newport.

Saw Mill Burned.

Saturday night, says the Eugene
Guard, the Fields saw mill known as
Crawford & Fuller's old mill 26 miles
northeast of Eugene was destroyed by
fire, aud every vestige of the lumber
that was on the yard, which amounted
to considerable. The mill was recently
reftted and it is thought the entire loss
will amount to probably $4,000. tap
pears that incendiaries have set the
mill Oil fire several times but the
flames were subdued before they had
done much damage. Saturday night
the mill was set on fire again and the
property was destroyed. Mr.. Fields
has had a man stationed in the mill,
armed with Winchester rifle, to
watch the property, and notwithstand-
ing this precaution the villainous in
cendiary was successful in his develish
design. There was no insurance what
ever on the property.

TILLAMooK, Or, Aug, 1S,--Charles
Lamb, the 9.year-old sou of 0. G

cliff at Netarts yesterday, and the
chances of his recovery are doubtful.
He was ascending the hill at Maxwell's

fell, rolling oyer Jagged rooWs, and
falling from shelf to shelf, until his
mangled form finally rested on the
beach at least $50 feet below. A physi-
clan was summoned at once, and it IS
impossible to determine his chances
for recovery at this time. No bones
were broken, strange to say, unless his
skull is fractured, but he received In.

DIPHTHERIA.

During the last nine months, the
people Of the city have had sad ex
perience with diphthera. Several
deaths have occurred Our schools have
been forced to close and the entire
public have had cause to regret the
presence Of the disease. The winter is
coming on, the schools will soon be
opened and it is imperative that every
care be taken to prevent the recurrence
of this plague. To this end, the council
held a special meeting Wednesday
night, to which all the physicians of
the city were invited Drs. Booth and
Lainberson were present A lengthy
discussion was had, with the purpose
of securing concert of action of the city
authorities, the physicians and the
people. The doctors present gave in
teresting and instructive talks on the
best way TO prevent the spread Of the
disease, and upon the general health
of the city. Realizing the great i'm
portance Of the duty laid upon it, the
council has decided to adopt strict but
just measures Of safety The health
ordinance, is broad enough to cover all
questions that may rise, If properly
e xecuted. Hereafter, the attending
physicians will personally superintend
the fumigation Of all infected places,
and will not advise the raising of any
quarantine until fumigation has been
thoroughly and intelligently done.
They will report to the marshal the
names of all persons whom they find
exposed to the disease. when called
to see a patient and during such sick
ness. The marshal will then see that
all infected persons are properly fumi-
gated before allowed to leave the sick
room. To avoid the inconvenience of
being thus detained and confined, all
persons are warned not to visit the
premises of persons who have but
recently been taken sick, for fear the
disease may be contagious, and all per-
sons ale warned not TO visit the pre-
misses or talk with quarantined per-
sons. Visiting the sick is commendable,
but visiting people affected with con-
tagion is highly improper. Kindly
disposed ladies will bear this in mind
and remember that while their visits
may comfort the sick, they are thus
endangering the health Of the city.
Prosecutions for any violations of these
instructions will be enforced. Patients
and attendants will be prosecuted if
they leave their homes or mingle with
otner people without the authority of
the marshal.

whether they sell the market house
property for cash outright and then
turn around and reinvest this cash in
a library building, or whether they
make an exchange for such a building
with a cash balance.
The defeat of the one measure and
the adoption OF the other arouses a
suspicion that hostility to the library
project lies at the bottom of this action
We can tell all who are concerned in
1t that in this case they are making a
stand against the almost unanimous
wish of the people of St Paul Nor is
it mainly the people of wealth and high
culture who are moving for a library
building. Those most ardently in it's
favor are the people of small means,
the clerks, mechanics and workingmen
who desire for themselves and their
families the public library facilities
that this city ought to furnish. Sooner
or later they will have their way, and
it will not be we'll for those who stand
as obstructionists in their path. A
little progress has been made, but it
is unfortunate that it is not in a more
satisfactory direction.

SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO.

With all the improvements that have
been made in the construction of great
ocean-going steamships, it seems as If
there ought to be similar advance in
the methods Of managing them. Within
few weeks two of the big liners have
run ashore and been pulled off only with
great difficulty and danger. Nothing
but the staunch construction of the
st. Paul saved her from going to pieces
under the pounding Of the waves
While she lay helpless for days on the
Jersey coast. The New York, being less
firmly fastened, was f1oated with great
er ease. But it is surely the height of
absurdity, considering the exactness of
navigation as a science, that within so
short time two steamers, costing
many millions Of dollars. with cargoes
worth perhaps as much more, including
the specie which they carried, and with
thousands of lives, should have gone
out Of their course and run their noses
into the mud as helplessly as any old
galley of the vikings during a storm. In
point of fact, we suspect that the vik-
ings did those things a good deal better,
1t might have happened that either
or both of these vessels, when so far
away from it's reckoning, should have
struck a reef instead of a sand bank.
In that case we would probably have
heard of one of the most appalling dis
asters for many years. Some explana-
tion of these happenings, and some
assurance that they will not occur
again, are due to those who intrust
their lives to transatlantic carriers.
There Is singular silence surrounding
them up to this time. The error of the
St Paul has not been satisfactorily ex-
planned. In these days of accurate
maps and charts and of skilled seaman
ship, the captain Of a vessel should not
find his ship a couple of miles or so
out of her course on a dangerous coast
without having some good explanation
handy. Even the heavy fog that was
New York harbor last week is not suf-
ficient reason for running a big steam
e. aground. If the security of ocean
travel is to remain one Of it's chief in
ducements. and the great steamship
lines are to retain their increasing pat

pens where partisan politics control
great business interest In any city
On the other hand, there have been
some interesting facts presented from
the same source as eto the possibilities
of electric lighting The Fairmount
Park commission of Philadelphia has
been soliciting propositions to furnish
320 arc lights that are used to light
the park. Some of the offers which
they received seem to indicate that any
city can obtain electric street lights on
more favorable terms than we have
been accustomed to reckon upon. A
responsible company offered. according
to the statement ofGanother Philadel-
phia paper, that if the commission
would provide a. building and set up
the necessary poles and wires, It would
furnish three engines and six dynamos,
supply 800 arc lights for a year at the
price now paid, which is 5000 a lamp
per month, and at the end of the year
turn over the entire plant to the city.
This is interesting to us, in view of the
fact that it contemplates an arrange
ment for but a single year, which is
what we have to go upon under the
present city chaIIer.S A charge of $10.70
month is $12s. 4OA per annum. Ac-
cording to the bid made to the Fair
mount park commission, there is
sufficient profit in furnishing arc lights
at that figure in the city of Philadel-
phia to enable, private concern to put
IN Its own plant, except the building,
poles and wires, pay for it out of the
profits the first year and have enough
left to make the operation worth
while.
Or course fuel is much cheaper in
Philadelphia than in ST. Paul, but the
bids submitted to our own council are
hardly less instructive. 1t is shown
that there is a profit in lighting the
business section of this city with elec-
trio arcs at the rate of $685. each per
annum. This being the case, it ought
to be possible, within the next twelve
months, to interest enough parties in
NA4N A''"''NA ~ SCCufS d larger llSI Oh
bidders and livelier competition next
year. While the cost of city lighting
has been reduced by an amount that is
very gratifying to our taxpayers, there
remains further margin of saving
which we can surely realize if the mat
ter is taken up early and dealt with
so thoroughly as to secure a more ef-
fective competition.

SOME PROGRESS MADE.

One of the curious performances Of
the assembly was to defeat Mr.. Par
ker's resolution looking toward a sale
of the market house property, and to
adopt another resolution offered by
Mr.. Johnson to the same general eff
feet. The main difference between the
two seems to be that the resolution
which found favor with a majority con-
tains no pledge, implied or expressed
that the proceeds of such sale would
be devoted to the construction of a
public library building. Another diff
ference is that, whereas, under Mr.
Parker's resolution it would have been
possible to submit bids for part cash
and part exchange of property suitable
for library purposes, the action that
was taken requires either all cash or
part cash and part purchase money
mortgage. The intention of the change
seems t. be to divert the proceeds Of
this property, if possible from library
uses, and to prevent the submission of
bids in which library building or
site, or both, should form any part Of
the consideration
That this is directly opposed to the
sentiment of the people of ST. Paul is
no longer open to question. There is
abundant and conclusive evidence to
show that they are in favor of obtain
ing public library building without
further delay, and of utilizing the mar
ket house property for that purpose.
No argument worth considering has
been made to break the force
of the vote that was taken.
If there We're any considerable
number of people in st. Paul
opposed to this plan, they would not
have neglected the opportunity to put
themselves on record. The only uues-
ton remaining seems to be how long
it will take before their desire shall
be assented to by the members Of the
common council, and, on the other
hand, how long it can be postponed in
order to leave the wav open for some
more or less complete appropriation of
this valuable property to private uses
for private gain.
Regrettable as 1t is that Mr.. Parker's
resolution did not prevail, still little
progress has been made in the adop-
ton by one branch Of the council of
the resolution asking for bids. 1t is
not impossible by any lf1Gans that a
purchaser can be found even IN the
present condition of the market for
this piece of property at fair price
Had the other proposition been adopt
ed, so that bidders, could offer in ex-
change a library, site. and building.
mufh more favorable terms might have
been made. 1t makes no difference,
obviously to the people of st. Paul

FACTS ABOUT STREET LIGHTING

NOW that the question of street light
ing has been settled satisfactorily for
year to come 1t is time not to dis
miss the subject, as is our slovenIv
hab1t, and to wait for eleven months
more before we begin to think what
we are going to do in the twelfth but
to investigate what is done in other
cities, with a view toward making
still more advantageous ARRANGEMENTS
for our own future. The city of Phil
adelphia is field for profitable study
IN the lighting business. 1t has had an
almost unexampled experience of the
ills that follow municipal ownership
of the gas supply, under the present
system of running local affairs on ma
tional party lines. Philadelphia owns
it's gas plant. One of it's leading pa
pers says that it would have been an ad-
vantage to the city to have given away
the gas works twenty-five years ago.
1t sums up the net results thus: "They
have been an enormous source of DO
litical decentralization and individual
profigacy, and the city has never real
lied anything like approaching a just
return for the investment" The only
way in which the business of furnish
ing gas to consumers has been kept
from becoming an enormous charge
upon the public was to buy gas pro-
duced by private concerns and sell it
in the city's name to consumers for
three or four times what it cost. Not
withstanding this, municipal ownership
has been prolific source of political
debauchery and financial waste. The
gas department has been a continued
expense to the public, and it is said
that it would require an ex-
penditure of one or two million
dollars to put the city's mains
in proper order. This is what hap

LIKE THE WHIST COLUMN,

Mr.. George L. Bunns analysis of
whist hands and comments on the
game constitute one of the most inter-
esting features of the Sunda
GIL be. The following letter is only
sample of many that have been re-
ceived at this office:
Gentlemen, Enclosed find draft for YOUR
sunday edition. / want this on account of the
whist column, edited by George L. Bum. I
regard this as more instructive and interest
ing than the whist departments of any of the
other city dailies. Yours truly,
B. L. Richards
Rock Rapids, To-, March 6, 1896.
The devotees of the noble game Of
whist are many, and their number is
constantly increasing. There Is no way
in which familiarity with and prof.
cheney in the game can be cultivated
so successfully as by study of the
exposition of its theory and practice
as set forth in the G Iobe's 8 whist
column. Mr.. Bum is not only a mas
ter of scientific playing, but he Is a
clear and forcible writer, with a quick
eye to seize upon the salient points in
the play Of any hand, and to apply
them to the enforcement of general
principles and laws. The Glob e s
whist column has proved to be i'm
mensely popular, as it deserves, and
no whist player can afford to be with
out it.
