WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW.

WAL IHE nECOnDO OHOV.
The house Of representatives
having resolved itself into COM
1nittee of the whole, and having
under consideration appropria-
ton bills, we quote from the.
congressional record, page 2,458;
Feb. IS, 1898, showing the tire
less efforts Mr.. Tongue put forth
in forwarding the interests of
Yaquina bay. So energetic and
deeply interested was he i'll this
project that when his time for
speaking had expired, he repeat
edly requested and was granted
more time in which to support
it. Mr.. Tongue-Mr. Chair
man, l offer the following amend
ment:
The clerk read as follows: "In-
sert in line 16, page II, after the
word dollars the following:
For improvement of Yaquina
Bay and Harbor; continuing iln-
provement, $50, ooo.."
Mr.. Tongue-Mr. Chairman
it will be seen that at the time
when the chief of engineers was
examined before the committee
on appropriations, the Secretary
of War had taken no action un-
der this provision of the law of
1896. Since that time he has
acted under its provision, has di-
rected specifications to be pre-
pared, and has directed that ad-
vertise1nents be made for bids
for this contract. =
Since the river and harbor ad. of
1896 was passed the work upon
these jetties has been practically
suspended. The government has
a full plant. x Undoubtedly
this contract will be let within
the next 90 days. * * * *
The Chairman-'The time of
the gentleman has expired"
Mr.. Tongue-'I should like
to have a few more minutes
time"
There was no objection.
Mr.. Hepburn-''What port is
effected by this amendment"
Mr.. Tongue-"It is Yaquina
Bay. Permit me to explain in
answer to the question just asked
by the gentleman from Iowa.
Yaquina Bay is not large town;
it is not a work sought for by
great commercial gentlemen; it
is not being sought for by men
of wealth; bat let me say, Mr.
Chairman, there will be no ex-
penditure of this amount of
money anywhere in the United
States which will benefit so
many people who are working on
farms as the expenditure con-
templated by this amendment.
Yaquina Bay is situated on the
western coast of Oregon. There
is railroad extending out 14oI
miles from Yaquina Bay, across
three lines of railroad and one
river that traverses the whole off
the Willamette Valley. \ 4
Deepen this harbor, and all the
products of western and largely
of eastern Oregon and the whole
Willamette Valley will have a
better opportunity to get to mar
ket. They will get to a market
for 7 or s cents per hundred
pounds cheaper than they do
now. The completion of this
Improvement, and I speak ad
visedly, because I have studied
carefully the question, means an
increase of S cents a bushel for
every bushel of wheat raised in
western Oregon and largely i'll
eastern Oregon. 1t means the
same increase upon every bushel
OF potatoes, every ton of hay,
every hundred pounds of hops,
every box of fruit, and every /
class of production raised in that
section of the country"

mans time has expired" !"

A noted editor and educator passed
away in the person of Henry Barnard.
IL. D., whose death occurred recent
ly at his home in Hartford, Conn, in
his Goth year. Dr. Barnard was widely
known IN this country as the pioneer
missionary OF education and he was al
so considered one OF the two most IA
nous educators Of modern times. Pos
sessed OF remarkable oratorical pow
ers. he took to the platform in the in
terests OF education AT an early age.
and in ten years lectured in every
state Of the union except Texas. He
realized the decadence of the school
system In Connecticut and in other
states, and sought TO bring about q
change. His native state early estab-
lished a fixed sum for school purposes,
which 1T first was SUFFICIENT but, as
school children increased. the annual
amount for each child decreased until
schools were In session, but three

Honey"

Au Tin Special Chicago Record: The
Wild soney crop IL Te0es this year
will exceed all previous yields In the
memory Of those w&o are interested In
that Industry. The bountiful spring
rains caused the bread prAiries Of west
and southwest Te13s to become car
peted with fragrant wild flowers. and
the bees reveled in their honeyed
sweetness for a protracted period.
There are a large number OF profess
slonal bee hunters In this part or
Texas, and they are looking forward
to q season Of unusual prosperity from
the sale of wild honey. There are
scores Of rivers and small streams In
the country west of here. Small caves
and dark recesses formed by shelving
rocks abound along these waterways.
They are the natural hives Of the wild
bees and take the place OF the hollow
tree trunks of the forest regions Of
Ihe northern country. These caverns
are used year after year by bees, and
In many instances they have been
found to be literally filled with honey.
Captain L. p. SEEKER OF Austin. quar-
termaster OF the Texas Rangers, spent
many years roaming over west Texas
as an officer of the ranger company.
He is one Of the most expert bee
hunters in the state.
There are many bee caves along the
Pecos and DEVILS rivers" he said.
my ranger company was never with
out honey. We were on scouting ex-
petitions almost constantly. but were
never too busy to rob bee cave Of its
honey. It is wonderful how much
honey these bees will store In some OF
these caves. i have taken out as much
as seven barrels OF pure honey from
one cave. 1t is a comparatively easy
matter to discover a bee cave. My
usual method Is to go to a spring or
water hole which is frequented by bees
and place a small quantity Of sugar or
molasses in a pan. This sweetness
soon attracts the visiting bees. and

One Of the noticeable features Of a

week was the presence Of a number Of
young men who we're dressed In dark
gray or blue sack coats and straw hats
instead Of the conventional frock coat
and high hat. Nearly all the guestS
had come from New York for the we'd

frocks regretted that they had not
been courageous enough to wear short
coats. The men who did appear IN

from necessity, and 1t was suggested
that with a few more object lessons
Of the same sort the frock coat might

The Contemporary Review gives an

which was established in Berlin to

nine years ago by young working

that seats should be sold for II cents,

not be profitable Nevertheless he
succeeded In inducing several hundred
people to invest an aggregate OF ss6.-
900. which was enough to. start the
plan. After renting the theater he
found that Il would cost IS, 900 a year
to run 1t, and 1t seemed impossible to
secure such an amount. However a
