Arbitrators Assured of Large Attendance
of Coal Operators at Pittsburg.
P1TrsBURa, July 27.-The mining sit
uation in this district is quiet and nm
changed. Both sides are waiting for
the result of the meeting Of the opera
tors. The arbitrators are highly elated
at the prospects,. All agree in saying
that it will be the largest meeting Of op-
orators ever held in this district. All of
the Western men are here and the East
ern people will arrive in the morning.
Hotel lobbies are meeting places for the
operators already here and the strike
question is being well discussed. While
large number are not in favor Of the
old uniformity plan all are anxious to
hear what new phase the peace commits
sioners have given the subject. Some
are decidedly opposed to uniformity but
all are in favor Of arbitration for settle
ment of the strike. No one can at this
time predict the outcome Of the confer
ence which is expected to last two aud
perhaps three days.

The Centre of Our Population.

The centre of population is the
centre Of gravity of the inhabitants
OF the country. Ifthe United States
were considered a plane, with all its
people as of equal weight, the centre
of population would be the point
where the whole plane might be
balanced and remain steady through
equilibrium. 1t expresses the net
resultant of the movements Of popu-
lation from decade to decade. This
point, according to the census of
1890, is located at SO degrees 1I.o
minutes north latitude and IS deg.
32.9 minutes west longitude, about
twenty miles east of Columbus,
Indiana. 1t moves westward about
four miles year, and is now three
fourths of degree south and more
than seventeen degrees east of the
centre of area.-William George

The Eastern Oysters Ali Right.

Prof. F. L. Washburne, of Eu-
gene, and Mr.. Geo. King, of
Oysterville, have made a complete
examination of the eastern oysters
planted at Yaquina last fall. This
examination has disclosed the fact
that at least o5 per cent of the
oysters are alive and in flourish
ing condition. They found many
of the oysters filled with mature
eggs, almost ready for spawning.
This demonstrates beyond doubt
that the eastern oysters will spawn
in these waters. 1t now remains
to be seen whether the spawn will
flourish here or not. 1t is believed
by old and experienced fishermen
that they will thrive and grow after
being spawned here. If this be a
fact then the fate of the eastern
oyster in Yaquina Bay is an assured
success.

The Elks CIambake.

The clambake at Newport last
Sunday, given by the Albany lodge
OF Elks, was very successful func-
ton, in point of numbers, at least.
The first crowd of Elks went down
on the regular Saturday train, and
consisted of a crowd of about 40
persons. The main crowd went
down on Sunday mornings excur-
sion, which was composed of a
train load of seven closely packed
coach loads of passengers. 1t is
estimated that there were from 400
to 500 people on Sundays train.
The engine was handsomely decor
ated, and on the front of it was a
beautiful large Elk's head.
The clambake was all that could
be expected, being fully appreciated
by the large crowd present. There
were clans galore, and crabs, fish,
roasting ears, sweet potatoes, and
other good things in abundance.
The day was pleasant on the beach,
and the visitors seemed to greatly
enjoy the occasion.

Rumors of an extra session of the
legislature still continue to float
around, but nothing of authority
can be found in any of these ru-
mors. The need of an extra ses-

parent that the legislature would
do any better in an extra session
than they did in the regular one.

loath to calling an extra session
