the destructive storm which swept
aicn, the North Carolina coast.
no continuation was ob,aina6le OF
the reported loss OF 500 lives at Ocra-
coke island OF the Carolina coast.
Unsubstantiated rumors continued TO
be current that all inhabitants OF the
island lad persisted when heavy waves
swept their homes. Efforts to reach
even the coast towns near Ocracoke
failed, wires being down over the ad-
jacent section and wireless stations,
presumably wrecked by the storm, II
responsive TO their calls.
While direct communication was
lacking, travellers arriving from the
southeastern portions Of the state SAID
they did not believe Ocracoke caught
the most severe part of the blow, and
there was every probability that the
loss OF life on the island, if any, was
su.ail.
The greatest damage to property &C.
Cured in Beaufort county, and havoc
was wrought among the fishing craft
in the PamSco river. In washington
business houses and manufac ,urlng
plants along the water front were par
TALLY destroyed. The total damage IN
this county alone is estimated at
100000.
The fury of the gale was centered
upon the towns along the Pamllco
sound, among these being Morehead
City, Beaufort, Newbern, Washington,
Bayboro, Belhaven and score OF
smaller places. A deluge of rain &C
companied the wind and the tide In
Pamlico sound was many feet above
the ordinary high water mark.
The six-masted schooner George w.
Wells, which went ashore south OF
Hatteras, has gone to pieces. The
twenty men, two women and two in
fants rescued from the schooner
Wells, after great difficulty by the life
savers, are being temporarily cared
for in the vicinity of the Ocracoke in
let and Durant life saving stations.
The schooner reported ashore three
miles north of Ocracoke Is believed
to have been the schooner Annie K.
Heidritter, heretofore reported drift
ing helplessly eight miles southwest
Of Diamond shoals with her rudder
broken and otherwise disabled. The
revenue cutter Seminole is proceeding
to the schooners assistance.
An unknown oil ship reported
ashore below Ocracoke was still
unidentified. The United States sea
coast telegraph lines from Cape Hen
are working only as far south as He
teras, and no information had reached
that point which would leaf to
the identity of the steamer.

The Condition Ct
The S. & P. Turnpike
( Andrew L. Jones.)
Continual from last week
Continued from last week.

1t is to be hoped that tn neX'
general assembly will amend the
statute concerning the Staunton
and Parkersburg turnpike so as to
make the superintendent Thereof
liable to indictment for failure to
require the contractors to keep the
road worked up to specifications.
The criticism of the people who
travel the pike is not enough Crit.
icism and complaint is the only re
sort we have. They are factors I"
be reckoned with but in this CASE
they do NJ good. The superlnten-
dent is n EFT to draw his pay ard
l.t The contractors draw pay 1t.
work they do not do and the boar
of supervisors are content to draA
their pay for the time actually ex-
pended in executing the duties of
their Office and to draw pay in eX-
cess of the amount allowed by Law
and let the pike 60 unmolested, I'M
worked and with thepeople's mon
ev expended on it uselessly.
The contractors have give bond
for the faithful performance of their
duties and the citizens of the coun"
ty by bringing suit on these bonds
have a chance to secure the refund
ing OF this expenditure of the coun
tvs funds on roads for work which
is not done, but it is hoped that
this will not have to be done. Les
the officials 90 to work and hay
the pike worked up to the speclh
cations adopted by the board oi
supervisors. Let the contractors
know that they wi not receive an
pay until they comply with thei'
contracts. If they begin now the
roads can be worked up yet and
put in condition so that they will
no longer be a disgrace and tht
subject Of ridicule. A bird in the
hand is worth two in the bush
When the next quarter of the S. X
P. fund is due don't let the con-
tractors have it until they have
complied with their contracts. 1t
isfoolish to pay the contractors and
then sue them on their bonds for
failure to comply with their con-
tracts. While hefunds are in hand
keep them there until it is proper
to pay them out.

Professional boosting Of our cities
and towns, until recently so active but
lately on the decline, seems to be a
waste of energy and hard extracted
money. The purpose of boosting the
state Of Oregon is to encourage settle
ment, bring new people here to invest
and live. Back of all this ardent de
sire for the good Of the state, we have
the personal interest of getting more
people here who will spend their money
freely. We want people for neighbors,
of course, (ahemD but what we really
want of them is their money. Now

not cost us one cent to put the plan into
successful action. One can guarantee
10000 per cent returns the first year,
During that year we will have from
5000 to 10000 millionaires come to
Oregon and settle, building mansions
and spending their coin like intoxicated
sailors. We will have, upon various
occasions, writers of national note
men who would ordinarily never set
their foot inside the boundaries of this
state--come here and stay with u.s. We
will increase the railway travel beyond

ditions. Oregon will appear upon more
