A POPULAR CANDIDATE.

One of the most popular candidates
for United States Senator and who has
warm supporters in every part of the
state is H. NJ. Cake OF Portland. In
announcing his candidacy, Mr.. Cake
presents the following platform:
81 believe the public service corpora.
tions should be subject to governmental
regulation and control The power of
regulation should be vested in the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
should be exercised with due regard to
the respective rights of the people and
the corporations.
Trusts or combinations of capital or.
ganized for the purpose OF controlling
the utilities and necessities of the
country, to the exclusion of legitimate
competition, are contrary to public
policy, in derogation to the rights of
the people, and should come under the
ban of the law.
l believe in preserving the dignity of
our American citizenship and the free
dom Of the laboring classes of this
country, and hence am opposed to
the admission of the coolie labor of
China, and the undesirable classes OF
Continental Europe.
"The growing commerce OF Oregon
demands the deepening of the bar of
the Columbia River. the construction
OF the Dalles Cello canal, the opening
OF the upper Columbia, the improve
ment of Iaquina Bay, Coos Bay and
| Tillamook harbors, the dredging OF the
| Willamette and the Government owner.
ship OF the Locks at Oregon City, and
Federal appropriations should be made
to secure these improvements.
"a tariff should be maintained for
the protection OF American industries
and American labor Where, however,
the necessity for protection is removed
by the growth and development OF u
particular industry, the tariff should
be modified to meet the changed con-
ditions.
The reclamation of the arid lands is
one of the pressing needs OF the North.
west, and condition to it's greater de.
velopment, and the efficiency of the
reclamation service should be one OF
the first cares of the Federal Govern
ment.
"The Federal Constitution should be
amended to provide for the election OF
United States Senators by direct vote
OF the people.
81 am in favor of the establishment
of the parcels post"

Railroad Meeting at Waldport.

A committee of the Lincoln County
Right-of-Way Company met the citizens
of the Alsea, Beaver creek and Yachats
country at Waldport last Tuesday to
secure the cooperation of the people
of those localities in securing the right
of-way for the proposed Coast railroad.
A large number of the citizens of
that country had assembled at Wald-
port and were met by the committee.
A public meeting was held in the
Wakefield hall, at which Captain Wake
field presided and L. w. Counsil acted
as secretary.
William Scarth, the president of the
Right-of-Way company, in stirring
address, set forth the object of the
meeting and portrayed the advantages
to be derived from a railroad running
through the county and connected with
Portland and San Francisco.
After full discussion of the matter,
a committee OF twelve representative
citizens was chosen to guarantee and
procure the right.of-way from line
near the Onn postoffice to the south
line of the county. This committee
consists OF Henry Nice, f. S. Oakland,
A. w. Weber and N. L. Guilliams for
Beaver precinct, Samuel Hays and Lin.
coin Sets for Tidewater precinct, Claus
Ludemanr, A. L. Baldwin, w. f. Helms
and Al Reynolds for Waldport, Arthur
Marks and W. S. Hosford for Yachats.
This committee at once organized by
electing Henry Nice chairman and S.
Hays secretary, signed the contract to
the Right .of-Way company and will at
once begin to push the work securing
the right. of-way contracts from private
parties through whose lands the road
is apt to run.
The meeting was very enthusiastic
one, and it saw the people of that
country united in their efforts to Sc
cure this very important project. The
best of feeling prevailed throughout
the meeting, and the committee from
Toledo feel more than gratifed at the
excellent spirit in which they were met
by their'neighbors OF the south.
The committee from Toledo consisted
Of William Scarth, c. B. Crosno, G. H
Gardner and j. f. Stewart.

Owen &. Graves, the Newport con-
fectionery dealer, spent yesterday fore
noon in this city on his way home, and
in speaking OF the improvements
planned in the popular seaside resort
in which he lives, stated that impor-
tant changes were under way. An i'm
provement committee has been ap-
pointed by the citizens of Newport, he
said, Banker Leese OF Corvallis, S. G..
Irwin and DR.. Minthorn being at the
head of it, for the purpose of canvass
ing the situation and securing the
building of the railroad around the bay
from Yaqana City to Newport, or any
other way that railroad could be Sc
cured into the place. The purpose OF
the committee is to show what Newport
can offer in the way of business for the
railroad, and united efforts of the peo-
pie will be made to secure the rail con-
uection with the outside world. The
town is to be improved in many ways.
Better streets are to be made, and
above all, Il sewerage system is 10 be
built. This has been definitely decided
upon, and work on it will begin at once.
The place has been criticized on ac-
count of the lack of facilities of this
kind, but Newport will try and merit
no criticism on this score in future.
The sewerage system will not extend
TO Nve Creek, but at that place septic
tanks will be constructed and every
thing possible to safeguard the health
OF the residents and summer visitors
will be done. 1t is expected that most
of the contemplated improvements
will be provided before the summer
colony arrives. The coming summer is
expected to be one of the best in the
history OF that popular seaside resort
And in order to provide for the amuse
ment of the visitors, the people of that
place will secure band and orchestra,
provide steamers and boats of all kinds
for excursionists, and generally take
care of the summer guests, The bust
ness houses Of the place are arranging
to supply the summer guests with
everything possible for their comfort
and enjoyment, AMI hope to make the
name OF Newport synonymous with
pleasure and comfort. Albany Herald

SPREAD OF DESOLATION
Homes of Peasants Swept Away IN

prehension Felt Because of Earth
quake Shocks-New Craters Open
at Different Points.

Naples, April 9.-Mount Vesuvius
is a colossal brazier and the town of
Boscatrecase, on its southern decliv-
ity, has been transformed into grey
island of ruin by ashes from the vol
cano's crater. Torrents of liquid
fire, resembling in the distance ser
penis with glittering yellow and
black scales, are coursing in all d.
rections, amid rumblings, detonations
and earth-tremblings with a pail of
sulphurous smoke that hovers over
all and makes breath difficult.
The streams of lava are resistless.
They snap like pipe stems the trunks
of chestnut trees hundreds of years
old and blight with their torrid
breath the blooms of peach trees be-
fore the trees themselves have been
reached The molten streams do
not spare the homes of peasants, and
when these have been RACED they dash
into wells as though seeking to slake
their thirst. and, having filed them.
continue their course down the noun
tain side.
Everywhere in the vicinity of the
volcano pitiful scenes are witnessed
women tearing their hair in their
grief, and old men crying aloud at
the loss of their beloved homesteads,
while in the distance, in striking con-
trast, lie the sapphire colored Medit-
erranean, the violet-hued mountains
of the Sorrento peninsula, and the
| island of Capri in the tranquil sea-
Artillery carts have been sent to
the assistance of the fleeing peas
ants, and engineers and soldiers have
erected parapets and dug trenches in
| order to change the courses of lava
| streams.
The statute of st. Ann, which was
| taken to the mountain side to con-
front the lava. is frequently moved
backward as the tide advances.
Considerable apprehension is felt
| because of earthquake shocks, which
are growing stronger and are felt
southeast of this city. Each shock
is accompanied by deep and pro
longed detonations.
Ottajano, at the northeast foot OF
the mountain, is threatened by a
stream of lava and the people are be
ginning to desert the town. The
populace of Tore Annunziata, at the
south foot, are prepared to flee at a
moments warning.
Signor Matteucci, director of the
observatory on Vesuvius, still con
tinues to occupy most dangerous
position With him is an American
engineer named Perret.
New craters have opened at differ
| ent points on the mountain, but it is
| impossible to ascertain their number
! or where they are situated.
