OF STATE INTEREST.

In considering the matter of
further improving Yaquina bay
there is one point, and an import
ant one too, that should not be
overlooked. When it is consider
ed that Yaquina is the only sea-
port on the Oregon coast with a
railroad penetrating the interior,
which railroad with its connecting
line of steamships affords the only
competing rail and water route of
the state, it is all important that
this competing line should be fos-
tered aud encouraged. From the
present attitude of the secretary
of war it seems that he is either
unfamiliar with the situation here,
or else is rather disposed to foster
a monopoly than encourage com
petition. This is the real point in
the controversy. -.--,..
Unless Yaquina receives atten-
ton the whole state will suffer
The entrance to the Columbia
river having been made accessible
for deep draught vessels through
the expenditure of government
funds, single transportation
company, operating lines OF
steamships via the Columbia river
from Portland 10 San Francisco
and other points, now practically
controls the commerc' OF the
state. II goes without saying
that the best interests of the state
will be secured by the building up
OF competing transportation lines
Since the Yaquina route WAS ep-
ened twelve years ago, Corvallis
and Albany have been the best
grain markets in the state. A very
conservative estimate of the sur.
plus grain grown in the counties
contiguous to this route would be
100000 bushels annually and
at least four cents has been saved
on every bushel during each of the
past twelve years, or 100000. In
other words s1,2Oo,0O0 have been
added ;. to- the profits Of Benton.
Linn, Polk, Lane and Marion
countiesotHring the past dozen
years, and the Yaquina route is
entitled TO all the credit for this
splendid saving. Besides this, the
reduction on incoming freight has
amounted to a large sum-prob
ably not less than $25O,o00. To
these sums should be added $780,,
900 collected at the port Of va
quina as duty on the steel rails
used in building the Oregon Pa
cific railroad, which would never
have been built but for the assur-
ance that Yaquina would be i'm
proved and eventually made 6
harbor for deep draught vessels.
The completion of the o. G. &
E. railroad to an eastern connec-
ton depends upon the further i'm
proveinent of the Yaquina bar
With a railroad across the state as
contemplated by the original pro
moters of the road, vast terri
tory, rich in agriculture, timber,
mineral and other resources would
BE opened up. In fact the future
growth and development of the
state depends largely upon the ex
tension of the o. G. & E., and the
extension of the O. G. & E. de
pends upon the completion of the
contemplated improvements al
Yaquina bay. ..-

"JOURNAL'S' TRIUMPH.
How the Yellow Paper and
Mayor Hoos Have Doomed
the Water Account.


Much curiosity has been aroused as TO
what effect the action of Mayor Hoos IN
regard to the Sugar House Company
water taxes had been on the consumption
by the company since and the loss
of revenue to the city. A News re-
porter visited the Water Department to-
day and obtained some figures. which an
swers the question fully.
1t will be remembered that the Sugar
House Company on the understanding
that their rate was to be reduced to the
old standard, namely $50 per million cubic
feet, instead of S10O, paid in to the city
taxes from May to November amount
ing to 1893.
The American Sugar Refining Company
according to the official figures, in May,
were taking water per month at the cost
of $780, Mays bid was 1854. In the
months of June and July the figures were
hundreds of dollars over $1,000. The COM
panys water bid for the month OF NoVem-
ber last was $1,99725. That was the month
when the Mayor induced the street ana
Water Commissioners to repudiate the
agreement and put up the company rate
to the new figures.
1t is said that the water bill for the
month of December will tumble Tar Pc
low the s1997.25, which decrease, since the
rupture, means a loss to the e1tys wafer
Department of over one thousand dollars

TYPHOID GERMS FROM A CREAMERY
Inspector Benjamin Ascertains the
Caune OF The Epid ermic

Health Inspector Benjamin believes
that the typhoid fever epidemic which has
been causing terror in the Hudson City
section for several weeks and has result
ed in the deaths of five persons has been
effectually checked He has found the
source from which the disease. germs
emanated. and has taken effectual meas
llres to prevent further contagion.
AT present there are thirty-five cases of
typhoid fever which are being watched by
the Health Department OF these "A
have been traced directly to the use of
milk which came from a creamery in
Branchville, Sussex county. The milk used
by the dealers in Hudson county comes
from Branchvlle, and the greater por-
ton of it was from the creamery.
When typhoid broke out in Hudson City
the spread of the disease was laid to inn
purities in the drinking water. careful

the water.
Inspector Benjamin then ordered an ex-
animation of the milk used by the fam
lilies in which the disease had gained a
foothold. He found that in every instance

He informed the State Health authorities
and Inspector Tracy was sent to inyesti-
gate He found nothing out of the way at
any of the dairies which supplied the
milk but when he came to examine Full

impurities in the water used FOR washing

ponsble for the presence of typhoid germs
in the milk.
The State authorities have ordered Full

Bazar of Class No. 1 of the
Bergen Baptist Sunday
School FroWned on
by the Church.
WORKERS SHOULD BE ASHAMED
Officials Condemn the Opening Of
the Sale on Prayer Meet
ing Nights.

Some of the members of Glass No. Of
the Bergen Baptist Sunday School are
very angry about the way in which they
are being treated by the officials of that
church in regard to the fair which they
are now holding in Arcanum Hall, jack
son and Clinton avenues. Although it
has been kept pretty quiet reporter of
"The News found out last evening that
the Bergen Baptist Church is giving the
class no aid whatever. When the fair,
which is for the benefit of the Sunday
school and to pay for the dishes which
are used in the church, was first spoken
member of the class says that the fair
use of the Sunday school room, would
not let them have it. Furthermore, one
Of the members of class says that the fair
was never announced in church and the
officials are working against them. The
reason the members of the class say that
the church would not help them is that
the fair was to be held on Wednesday
evening, which is prayer meeting night,
and on Friday evening, on which night
the meetings of the Christian Endeayor
Society are held: One of the members OF
the class in speaking about the fair said
1t is really shameful the way we are
being treated. Here we get up a fair to
realize money enough to help pay for
the enlargement of the Sunday school
Sunday school, but what encouragement
do we get from the church? They wouldn't
let US have the Sunday school room,
wouldn't pay for the hall in which the
fair is being held and in fact took no
notice of US whatever The fair was
never even announced at church and half
of the congregation doesn't know that our
fair is in existence. OF course the ma
jority of the things on sale are donations,
but good many of the other things were
paid for out of our own pockets. Why,
one of the members interested in the en-
terprise had two dozen of his pictures
taken, which cost him $12 all to help the
fair along. Not one OF the officials or
even the pastor has visited US once while
our fair has been in progress, so much in
terest do they take in it,
I'VE think that the reason they won't
help is because we hold the fair on prayer
meeting nights, and on the evening when
the Christian Endeavor. Society meets.
Well, to offset that, the majority of us
go to these meetings, and after they are
over, why, we go back to the fair. We
have been even told that we are no Chris
tians, because we hold our fair on meet
ing nights, and that we should be
ashamed of ourselves.
''One of the officials when asked if he
was going to the fair said: =
's I go to that placei Well, I guess not
That shows the spirit. We are very sorry
that the trouble has arisen between the
church and our class, but we have been
treated very badly and we ali feel it,
fhe fair has been very successful. and a
large sum realized. The fair will close
this evening

VONDHRFOL VITALITY
Mrs. Mckinley Rallies and May
Live Some Days More.

CANTON, O., Dec. II, 1s97.-After a
night of the greatest anxiety eliminating
in sinking spell at six O'Clock this
morning, the children and other watch
ing friends at the bedside of Mother Nc
Kinley are encouraged by the attending
physician this morning. to hope that the
patient will survive the day and possibly
longer. This hope grows out of Mrs: Me-
Kinley's rally from the sinking spell and
the ability to take a little nourishment
this morning. The doctor was with his
patient much later than usual last night,
and therefore made his first call this
morning considerably later than usual.
After his examination at $3.50 he said
Mrs. Mckinley was in much the same con-
dition as yesterday morning, and he felt
that she would survive the day.
He says that the wearing away by
weakness is by very slow degrees. The
fact that the patient has been able to
take so little nourishment has given rise
to the fear that death must result from
starvation, if from no other cause, with
in a short time. Concerning this phase
of the case the doctor says there is no
evidence of such result. She shows lit
tie trace of emaeiation. She could. he
thinks, survive from ten to twenty days
without food in the conditions Whlcn
have prevailed.
