made her great still live and love
their city, and those who, scatter
ed over half globe of lands and
seas. look to her for service, still
live and love San Francisco more
than ever.
San Francisco's optimism does
not rest on illusions. Neither
does it detract from the splendid
heroism OF her people in preserv-
ing courage and hope in a time of
danger, surprise and bereavement
to admit that her optimism rests
on good grounds. San Francis
co.'s optimism is based on fearless
ness and clear-headedness. She
triumphs in her trial because she
has never for a moment lost these
faculties. The world sympa-
thises with her in her trial, but
loves her more for her triumph.
The world will be glad, too, when
it knows the facts, to congratu-
late San Francisco upon the
smallness of her apparent catas-
trophe, and later to rejoice with
her in her surprising restoration.

A Sad Ending.

The sad and shocking news
came over the wires early Friday
morning that Harvey Burns,
father OF Archie Burns, OF this
city, had been suddenly killed at
Los Angeles. Mr.. Burns was a
station agent and it is under
STOOD that in the act of sealing"
the cars he was run over by the
train, his body being cut in two.
Orders were sent for the remains
to be embalmed and shipped to
Corvallis for burial, and they
are expected to arrive here today.
Mrs. Burns and her sou have
spent the past few years in this
CITY while the latter has been at
college. He graduated last We'd
nesday, being the honored vale
dictorian of his class, and a fav-
orite among the students general
ly. s
Deceased was for a time, two
wears ago. agent for the o. R. &
N. in this city, and several years
ago he was the S. P. agent
here. He paid a visit to his fam.
lily in Corvallis last fall and Mrs.
Burns and Archie were planning
to go to Los Angeles as soon as
they could make ready after the
close OF college.
For the survivors in their hour
of deep sorrow, there is sincere
and universal sympathy.

DISCUSSED THE CROPS.
Farmers in Town Saturday Say
1t Has Rained Enough.

Farmers from different parts
of the county were in Corvallis,
Saturday, and some of them talk
ed about the hay, grain and fruit
crops.
One man stated that out on his
farm a large field of clover is
standing, ready for the mower,
and the yield is heavy, but it is
impossible to get into the field to
cut it on account of the soggy,
heavy condition of the ground.
Just how much the grass will be
damaged is eff course not yet de-
termined, but that there will be
damage to some extent seems GER
tain.
Grain, too, it is feared, will be
materially damaged, as wheat
will not fill when the weather is
so cold and rainy as it has been
for several weeks, and hop men
also are anxiously asking what
will happen to their hops, as such
conditions are certain to mean
lice and that in turn means a
crop more or less below the
standard.
Taken altogether, the spring
has been unusual, and has caused
some depression in nearly all
lines of business hereabouts.
However, a better prospect for
crops has not been seen in this
section for a number of years,
and if sunshine prevails from
now on, there will be an abundant
harvest in spite of the present un-
favorable conditions.
The fruit crop will be prize
winner, if no mishap befalls it,
although strawberries have
suffered from the rains. So far
they have not been less than
five cents per box in the
local market, which demonstrates
the delay in ripening, due to the
backward spring. Red raspberries
are just beginning to come into
market in small quantities, and
are selling at four boxes for twen-
ty-fve cents. Cherries are plenti-
full and an immense crop of
prunes is promised.

nothing is lacking to make the
happiness of everyone complete.
This year the reunion will be

The plant is housed in the old ice

GREAT TIMES FoR II.
Newport by the Sea Has Promise
of Rapid Improvement.

Willis Vidito returned Friday
from a visit to the coast, and ae-
cording to his statement things
are on the boom at Newport by
the sea.
It appears that an effort has
recently been made by capitalists
to secure tue water front at that
place, offering to put in saw
mill with a capacity OF $50, 900
feet per day if the deal is made.
On the other hand, promoters
of the much discussed railroad
from Portland to San Francisco,
who are supposed to be backed
by Eastern capitalists, have
urged Newport to hold fast to
the water front, which in the
past was promised to the first
railroad that should build
through Newport along the
coast. This railroad, they de-
clare is a certainty, and they
aver that it will mean more
to Newport than the sale of the
water front could possibly mean,
with the promised establishment
of the big mill.
The railroaders claim to have
already secured possession of the
coast line from San Francisco to
Eureka, stretch of probably $50
miles, which would render the
proposed connection with Port
land most feasible and conven-
lent.
The road promised for the
coast is to be one per cent
grade and a FIVE per cent curve,
which would mean a possibility
OF great speed in service, when
completed.
Just what occurred at the New
port council meeting, which Mr..
Vidito was invited to attend, is
Of course not public matter, but
Mr.. Vidito seems to have conf
dence in the railroad, since he
purchased a five acre tract of
land in Yaquina from William
Crees, Immediately upon his re-
turn. Not content with that, he
proceeded to dispose of certain
property in East Portland, trad
ing it. for $50 acres just north of
Yaquina.
While in Newport, Mr.. Vidito
states that two large surveying
parties left there, one headed
north and the other south pre-
sumably IN the interest of the
proposed road.
Considerable property has
changed hands 1t Newport this
spring, much building has been
doue, side walks laid and other
i'm provements made, and the
town IS in very prosperous con-
dition.
