party of five from South Paris and
Norway made the ascent of Mount
Washington a few nights since. They
left on the afternoon train, taking sup
per at Gorham,and going by team from
there to the foot of Mount Washington.
The ascent of the mountain was made
on foot by moonlight. They reached
the halfway house about 10 o'clock.
and rested there till 2, arriving on the.
summit IN time to see the sunrise. Al
though the atmosphere grew thick ear
ly in the day, they had about an hour
of beautiful clear weather in which to
view the magnificent panorama. They
walked down the mountain, and the

rious points of greatness in Greater

THE EASTER OYSTERS.

Mr.. Geo. King, of Oysterville,
forwards us letter from Professor
Washburn concerning the Eastern
oysters transplanted in Yaquina
bay. The matter is an important
one to this bay, and we give it in
full. 1t is as follows:
Eugene, Or, May ID, 1897.
To the Oystermen of Yaquina Bay:
Gentlemen:-Will you permit me
to impress upon you few points of
importance?
1st. 1 trust that every man on
the Bay is interested in the success
of this oyster experiment. and that
each man realizes it means much
in the future if it succeeds.
end. l hope that this interest is
so great that each man will look
upon the venture as his own, mean-
ing, if we succeed, an additional
source of income for his family and
that
3rd. Each man will feel so
deeply concerned that he will guard
the deposit made by the general
government and feel a personal
interest in its proper protection and
care.
4th. l hope that each man will
willingly cooperate with others in
a generous determination to do all
he can in this matter.
5th. The citizens of Yaquina
Bay should also feel that they have
an interest, and a vital interest, in
seeing such an industry established
and be willing to do all in their
power to help the oystermen to
succeed.
9th. l expect to be at Yaquina
about June 23rd, at which time l
want to meet all the oystermen and
exchange views with them regard
ing the prospects.
Very Truly
f. L. WASHBURN."

The contest case of Mrs. George
Henshaw VS.. Kasimeier Busch was
heard before Deputy County Clerk
Wade last Tuesday. A number of
witnesses appeared on both sides,
and there was marked variation
in some of the testimony. The
testimony was reduced 10 writing
by Deputy Wade, which was quite
a task, and was forwarded to the
local land office at Oregon City,
where the testimony will be gone
over by the register and receiver,
and a decision made. The dispute
over the land will be the basis of
considerable ill-feeling among the
Drift creek people, we fear, as the
people there are dividing up on the
matter.

Many of the old settlers on the
Bay have heard the cid legend of
the pirates that buried a treasure
of gold at some point on the Bay.
The story is that large box full of
gold slugs was buried along the
beach, and the pirates put to sea
and left it. They never returned
after the gold, and it is supposed to
be still hidden in the mud of the
Yaquina beach. The last of the
pirates died not long ago in Califor-
MIA and, it is said, disclosed the
hiding place of this treasure. Will
Rich, of this place, got hold of the
description of the hiding place, and
has been making search for the
treasure. He thinks that he is
now about to discover the gold,
having discovered several of the
marks, bearings and witness trees
If the old stories are true, the box
contains thousands of dollars il
gold slugs, and if Mr.. Rich i.
successful in discovering its h idins
place, he wont have to ''do thing
for quite a while.
