Removing Rock.

A gentleman who recently
returned from Newport states
that during his sojeurn over
there the work Of blasting
out the rock in the bottom of the
entrance to the bay was Ia prog
ress. This is necessarily slow
work, as the diver WHO places
the charge on the roek many fees
under water ean only work when
The waters of the Bar are com-
parative1y calrn. Quite often
days will pass when it is impos.
sible to accomplish anything.
The dynamite that Is used is net
taken aboard the steamer that is
detailed to assist in this work,
but is placed In a small boat and
towed out by the steamer. It Is
understood that the diver does ne
drilling in making the charge
ready. He merely places the dy.
Mantle Ia the ereviees ef the rock.
When ali is in readiness for the
discharge Of the blast the steam
er gets out Of harms way and a
few men in the small boat "toueh

slider a safe distance. Oar infor-
mant states that he saw one b asi
let off and that it was as grand q
sight Of its kind as he ever ex.
peets to witness. Water and
rock shot into the air hundreds
of feet, when the mass appeared
to sepefate and fall as two dis.
tinet columns. The violence el
the blast gave the windows of the
s'eity by the sea- quite a shock
and made bathers teeth chatter.

Attracting Attention.

Situated on the farm Of Thos.
Baker, some eight or ten miles
northwest of Corvallis, is a
splendid sulphur spring. Each
year it becomes better known
and has a larger number of peo-
pie camped about. There is a
hotel there ana many visitors
take advantage Of the accomme-
dations offered by this hostelry.
Quite a number ef tents have
been pitched there this Summer.
The fishing Is geod ana not far
away the sportsman can find
work for a rifle, as deef are often
seen in that vicinity. The eiti.
zsns Of Corvallis, Albany and
other towns are beginning TO fe-
alize that the waters OF this

any spring In the land. The
Albany Herald has the following
to say in favor of Mr.. Bakers S

The Ferry Went Down.

An accident, which fortunate-
1y did not terminate seriously,
occurred to Jehnny and Arthur

They were hauling wheat to Pc.

the bank when the ferry sank.

was net damaged. II was neees'

in putting to flight band of hostile
natives. The missionary was travelling
some distance in advance of his cara

THE OLD APPLE TREE.

To-day I crossed the meadows
That lie beyond the town,
And meath a gnarled old apple tree
To rest laid me down.
Its branches stirred above me,
A breeze swept to and fro,
And high among the apple buds
The bees were humming slow.
A squirrel came to watch me,
A bird sang from the hill.
And all about the open fields
The sun lay warm and still.

Like a dream 1t seemed to me,
We two had told our childish love
Beneath that apple tree.
The apple buds seem much the same
AS pure and sweet and cold,
But time has changed the apple tree,
And it and I are old.
My life is like the apple tree,
Grown harsh and rough and strange
But love is like the bursting buds
They never seem to change.

Sturgis, with what seemed very like
enthusiastic conviction, "this man
was the originator of almost every
unsolved mystery which has nom
plussed the police during the last Is
years. He had his agents in every inn
portant center throughout the coun-
try; agents working under potent in
centives, and yet working in the dark,
for few of them have ever known who
held the mysterious power which di-
rected their every move. Murder has
been done Wholesale; and so quietly
and mysteriously has the work been
accomplished that, in all but this last
case, the detectives have found no
clue whatever which might lead TO
an explanation of he sudden and un-
accountable disappearance of wealthy

Manhattan Chemical company by
Murdock's agents, were quietly and
Systematically made away with in the

his cruelty was always means to an
end, however selfish and illegitimate
that end might be. His cruelty is
that, in a measure, of every human
being destroying life that he may live
and trampling upon his fellow men
that he may be comfortable. Be
/, tween Murdoch and the rest of us there
was a difference of degree, certainly,
/ but was there a difference of kind?"
There is one thing which can
not yet understand" said Thurston
"and that is. why Murdoch should
