Concerning Yaqnina Harbor.

A dispatch from Washington
regarding Pacific coast harbor
Improvements, has this to say of
conditions at Yaquina bay:
There IS now a balance avail
able for this project amounting
to $I2,734, which will cover the
cost of rock removing at the en-
trance of the bay. The expen-
sditufes to June 80, 1900, 5000,
o27.68, resulted in completing
the two jetties provided Tor by
the original projects, as stated
above, and in preparing to re-
move the cluster of rocks as pro-
vided tor in the present project,
The expenditure during fiscal
year ending June 80, 1901, re-
suited IN increasing the depth OF
water over portion of the clus-
ter of rocks beyond the sea end
of the South jetty from 6 feet to
I2 a feet at mean lower low tide,
which latter is equivalent to
tabout II feet at high tide. It is
estimated that the remainder Of
the cluster of rocks may be re.
moved during the present Sum
mer with the fluids available.

but even these wise adjuncts could not
float a bad play. The heart interest of
the story is great, it's comedy we'll sea
soned with pathos. for tears and
laughter are happily mingled. Its gem
eral theme has been likened to Uncle
Toms Cabin, and to a certain extent
with reason. Old Aunt Lindy.'' the
slave nanny is as true a type of
characterization as is Uncle Tom,
and her staunch championship Of
blind Dora Clayton is symbolic
with Uncle Toms love for little
Eva. The villainy Of Caleb Croc,'
the miser in this play, is hand in hand
with the hated 1simon Legree,' the
cupidity Of Judge Hawk is along the
same lines as Marks the lawyer.
With all this there is no more similar
lity between the two plays than there
is between a Sardou production and a
Reid pastoral !. On the SuWanee Riv-|
err is q pure story Of the Southland.
