Distractions in the Yaquina.

~~S~ S~NS@N@1S 49, SA1N IN 0AAcss
The following letter to the Secre-
tary of War written by B. F. Jones,
our State Representative, is self
explanatory:
Independence, Or, Oct. 2S, 1907.
To the Hon. Secretary of War.
Washington, d. C.
Dear Sir:-On or about the 18th
day of September, 1900, addressed
a letter to your department, stating
that F. G: Barnes and others were
obstructing navigation on the va
quina river with piling. Immedi-
ately thereafter your department
notified the parties to remove the
piling and they at once complied
with your request, and since that
time no distractions have been
placed in the Yaquina river by any
person or persons, or corporation,
save and excepting the Corvallis d.
Eastern Railroad Company.
| desire to call your attention to
the fact that the Corvallis & East
ern Railroad Company has its track
along the Yaquina river and bay in
Lincoln county, Oregon, for a dis
tance OF about thirty miles, and
that at times during the winter sea-
son large bodies of earth. rock.
brush and timber slide down on the
railroad right-of-way. For the past
twenty years the Corvallis q Eastern
Railroad Company has been remov
ing said earth, rock, brush and tim
Der and depositing it in the navi-
gable waters of the said Yaquina
bay. That during the past twenty
years have been thousands of tons
OF said earth, rock, brush and tim
bee deposited in said navigable
waters of the Yaquina bay.
That by reason of said earth,
rock, brush and timber drifting
down the bay, it has formed bars at
numerous places, especially from
point one and one-half miles above
the city of Toledo to a point three
miles below said city, on Yaquina
bay, until at the present time river
boats can scarcely reach Toledo ex-
cept at high tide, whereas, in the
past ocean plying vessels have loaded
at Toledo with lumber for San Fran
cisco and other coast points.
Unless some steps are taken Iy
the War Department to compel said
Corvallis & Eastern Railroad Com
pany to desist from removing said
earth, rock, brush and timber into
Yaquina bay navigation on the
upper bay will soon be a thing of
the past.
called the attention of our rep
resentatives in Congress to this mat
ter soon after | filed the complaint
in the Barnes case, but so far no
action has been taken, and the
Company continues to deposit the
said earth, rock, brush and timber
in said bay.
Yours very truly,

Londons 1N1 parks.

One Of the most useful activities OF
the London County Council has been in
the extension of the park system of the
metropolis, which now includes, under
the management of the Council, nearly
5000 acres.
The requirement and Development
has cost about fs,5OO.OoO, and the an
nual charge for maintenance comes to
1865, 1000, which adds about a half pen
ny in the pound to the rates, or about
two-tenths of per cent. The cost in
cludes the salaries of an outdoor staff
Of S43 men and women.
The Council came into existence in
1889, and succeeded to the metropolitan
beard of public works in the care of
the parks, but Of course with larger
powers. In all ~fifty-seyen new parks
have been added since then out of the
total that come under the Councils
management.-Park and Cemetery.

Hotel Proprictors and Housekeepers

That the young women of New En-

ever, been forced to run their houses
without the full complement of help,
and with a large number of the al

get young women at any price.

False Nan;,tty Localized.

Titles Of nobility in France have be-
come quite common. though France is
ostensibly a NEST democratic republic.
But 1t is shown that of the $4,000 per-
son there, who use titles of nobility,
only 435 families have any moral right
to them. A legal right they have, as
under French law. anyone can change
his name by carrying out certain rules
md forms. Rich Americans, mostly
business men. take out permits annual
ly, to the average of sixty, to assume
the lame of some property they have
bought, though possession Of an estate
is not Il necessity. 1t, however, ENDS
a certain gla1nor to the name. This
false nobility figures largely in society
papers, even in London. and the doings
of the Comte de- and the Marquis
de -- are read with avidity, though
these people are merely purchasers of
the right so to style themselves.

There has never been any who have

of Western Canada, but there are some

Of its superiority. During the past
season it has been shown that in grain
raising qualities it possessed the very
best. The late spring prevented grain
being sown in many cases before the
middle Of May. Yet, a large percentage
of that sown at that time produced ex-
cellent yields. Had 1t not been for the
frost early in August, which visited
most of the north half of the continent.
there would have beef a magnificent
yield in every district in Western Can
ada. Throughout the Southern Alberta
district, where about 100000 acres was
sown to winter wheat. the yield Will
