The OregOnian.

In an advertisement elsewhere it will
be seen that we offer the Weekly Oregon.
ian and the OREGON UNION both to one
address for the small sum of $I.75 a
year in advance. The Weekly Oregon
ian will give you all the news of the
state, the nation and the world, while
the UNION will give you all the county
news, and in no other way can yor pos.
sibly get this so cheap. The Oregonian
needs no recommendation at our hands,
and the UNION, too, speaks for itself
We wish to say one thing with reference
to ourselves. Enemies of the UNION
are circulating the report that it is only a
temporary affair, and will not last. This
is false. We have the best newspaper
office in the county; it is entirely out of
debt and is already on paying basis.
1t came here to stay, and the encourage
ment we have already received has
placed its future success beyond doubt.
Its subscription price alone is ST. year,
in advance, or SI.75, in advance, will get
the Weekly Oregonian and the UNION
for one year to one address. Send in
your names at once, as congress will
meet soon, and important measures will
come before it that you should know.

Slot Machines.

The nickle-in.the-slot machine that dis
plays poker hand of cards every time
it is turned is one of the worst gambling
devises ever introduced. No matter who
is playing it, there is always crowd of
boys and even children watching the re.
suit and they thus become adopts in
counting poker hand. 1t is but short
step from this machine to a. pack of
cards and regular poker game, and
from that to destruction. The people of
this town owe it to the parents of boys
attending school here, that these boys
who are away from home influences and
restraint shall not be subjected to unusual
temptation. Some people may sneer at
the idea of the machine leading boys
astray, but less things than that have
ruined many young man, and the chief
of police is entitled to credit for his
efforts to suppress the nickle ia.the-slot
machine by enforcing the law

VARIETY OF SUBJECTS
Of Especial Interest to Ar
Exacting Public.
Eastern Oysters at Yaquina.

In answer to numerous inquiries re-
garding the condition of the oysters
planted by the United States commission
last fall, and the outcome of the expert
ment, Prof. Washburn has made the fol.
lowing statements:
When he left Yaquina early in Septem.
tember, the oysters were in fine condition
and there is every reason to believe they
are still. Most of those examined had
spawned.
This government plant is now under
the protection of the state fish and
game protector, and trespassing can be
prosecuted. Yet the oystermen and
citizens living at the bay feel that the
success of the experiment affects their
welfare so materially that they would re-
sent any wrong doing III this connection.
Particularly in this the case with the
oystermen, who have all along shown
great interest in the project, and who
naturally want it to succeed.
Unofficial information seems to indi-
cate that more eastern oysters will be
shipped to the Pacific coast this winter,
and if all goes well with the present
plant, it is more than probable that Ore
gon will receive her share of the con-
signment.

Our community was startled last week
by the announcement of the death of
Mrs. Grace Dilley Mathany. Although
it was generally known that she was very
sick, yet no one looked for a fatal termi-
nation. But after a heroic fight of a
weeks duration she yielded up her young
life Laid out in robes of spotless white,
and white casket, with beautiful chrysan-
themums Goods emblems of purity, she
indeed looked the fair young bride of
death. The family have the most pro-
found sympathy in this great afaiction.
