THE OREGON MIST, fi'iiwKdTiojf, iiiWVfcn YfcAh. Ft. Iim.Kf.ti, OtTimfcii 2, 1891. COUNTY BOltDS EOR HIGHWAYS: tliecouillieS of Pacific; Wahkiakum kml Cowlit mm! agitntiitg the county I Kind qncBliou at I ho preeer.t lime. The ohjw.t i to issue bonds to the a tnoimt of 73.(WO or f 100,000 and in Test thtl money In roads and bruises 'This is a niatter thai Columbia county rhoiild consider seriously at an early iiute. Without good roads auJ bridges we cannot expect to increase llw pop iil.uion at a very rapid rate. Kven ifiose people who have already come to our comity and stdtknl a few miles buck from the riter have no means of teaching nia'rketonly on foot, conse quently thcro is very little encounge inent for others to go still further into the interior of the county to lake up land until Our road system is better. The bond tftieetlon is being thoroughly iiecused in Washington, and is, in our opinion, the most profitable road to prosperity. Ou this subject the Willapa Republican hits the nail squarely on the head, in the following : 'If Taci'ic county shows the same sp rit as Wahkiakani and Lewis, she ill nut let the present autumn pass without rating bonds for road purposes, The present valuation of the county is about four million dollars, which, if there is no increase, would be a Mufficient warranty for bonds to thoan.ount of f 123 .000. The law passed by the last legislature empowers the commissioners to rail a special election during the year 1801 TO this purpose. We take the position fhat Tacitic county, cannot afford te delay this matter unt.l the general election of 1H. for one rca-on if fio other, to wit: theexpeuuiture of this amount of money in the next year in this county, will increase the Tultie of real estate not less than one million tt least; again, at the next election there will be great political excitement, in which so important a matter as tlds should not be mixed. With the presidential cam paign on hand and fill the state and county officials, and a ronstitutioual amendment or two, the voter will have enough to con aider without county bond projects. This matter is one of careful consideration and the por rancher whopactcs food.stoves. clothing, etc., for from one to ten miles over an almost impassable trail, should talk this matter over calmly and without excitement, and see if it is not better to vote ttnon himself a small tax. that will diminish each year with an increased valuation, than it is to make a pack mule of himself. , , The above is a fair sample of bow tbe people of western Washington feel Ofi tbe county bond question. Pa cific, Lewis, Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties, whose area is timbered and more or less hilly, all want better highways, and afe almost cnited to a man on the issuing of county bonds tor the building of roads. This is a preposition of no little importance and sltould be thoroughly sifted by the people of Coluinbia eotihty. " THE COLUMBIA BIVER BAR. trom Majof Handbury's animal report of tbe improvement of the month of the Columbia river, we repro duce the following: "The effect of the jetty already constructed U very marked in the building up of Clat p spit and in concentrating the waters as they flow over tbe bar so as to pro duce the desired scouring effect. There is Row a straight out and in channel having a width tf one-half mile, with a depth nowhere le s than twenty-seven feet) and for a Width of one and one half miles a depth of twenty-five feet, the plane of reference being the means of lowest low waters. With the view of developing tbe present location of the best water over the bar and ascer taining what had taken place since tbe survey of October, 1889, it was, partially surveyed during June 10, 11 13 of this year. A suffcient extent of the bar was. covered for the object in . view. All conditions were exception ally favorable for this work, and the re ts ults obtained are very satisfactory. The soundings were reduced to tbe plane of the mean of lowest low waters and are shown upon the sheet herewith. If the results obtained by the jetty, as shown by the survey of 1889, were then gratifying, those shown by this Survey are much more so. The thirty foot curve on the two elopes of the bar are now only 3,000 feel apart where they appoach nearest to each bther. There is every reason to be lieve that this distance will be reduced to nothing before the end of the year, arid that eventually the thirty-foot channel will be fully one milo wide. The results hero shown; are indeed very gratifying? and would seem to in dicate bayond a doubt that a thirty foot channel over this bar will soon be ari accomplished fact, and the first part of the problem to be solved by the project finished. The next part is to maintain this channel. This in my judgment can best be done by piling rock liberally along the line of the jetty and strengthening by every meant the vertebra that we have given to Clatsop spiti So long as these sands have something permanent to hold on to and build up against, a good chan nel can be maintained over the bar." One of the substantial manttfactui Ing enterprise of Columbia county is the shingle mill of A. L. Ashman lo cated a short distance below Cedar Landing. In face of the fact that the hingle market has been stagnant for ome time this mill has been running knost of the time. Its cutting capacity is PO.OOO per day and employs twenty' hue men constantly in the mill. If all tho mill of the county were running they would furnish employment for about 600 men in the mills alone to Say uolhing of the getting nut 'if logs, making shingle bolts, rafting, etc. It is actually noccessary that something be inaugurated in ('iilumbia county to bring business to our rescue. We should advertise our natural resources throughout the length and breadth of the Cnited .States; thow to the people of the Kast that thoro in other places on the l'aciiic coast besides Washing ton; When tho right stop is taken the result will be inslantlv apparent. If you want to assist in the npbuih' ing of your county subscribe fid" the county paper, advertise in it and in every way assist the publisher to issue a first elites newspaper, so that the world may know that there is such a place as Columbia county, slid that tliere is real live people in the county. Tho prosperity of a community de pends largely Upon the newspaper scut out, and for the paper to make a respectable showing it must have the help of all. OREGON WKATHKK 111 It K A I'. The following is the report for te weekending, Saturday, September 2(5, 1831: WESTKRS OBECOX. Weather The fore art of tho week was cloudy and rainy the latter part, cool generally cloudless, wi;h fog in the morn lugs. Light frost was quite general on the morning of the 23. no damage is reported from it, this was the first frost of the season. Smoke has entirely diasapeared from the at.aosphere. Crops HSrvSsti 'g of cereals is over. Tliere is a few smalt amounts of wheat and oats to thresh. There was no appreciable damage done by the rains. The buckwheat crop of Clackamas county is very good, small portions of it were damaged by rain. Hops are about all haled. Kxperimems show that sugar beets and sorghum do yery well in Washington county. The rains softened the earth sufficient to allow of plowing in many counties. In portion of Linn county the corn is not r'pening well. In Douglas county the wheat was not over an average In quantity per acre and quality, oats are, however, above the average. In Jackson county grapes are ripening and wiue making will begin next week. In Curry cotiitty a 200-acre fli-ld of barley, oats and wheat averaged SO, 51 and S3 bushels per acre, respectively. Reports indicate hit every on is well satisfied with the re salt of the harvest. EASTERN OREGON. Weather The fore part of the week was cloudy and occasional showers fell, the latter part was generally cloudless and coo'i With frosts on the 20 and 23, the first gener al frosts of the season. Crops Harvesting and threshing is generally over, except in Jnion, Wallowa and Baker connties. where threshisg is being finished np. Crops have been secured without any damage from ciimatic condi tions, as is tbe role. Large yields are re ported from every county, varying from 10 to CO bushels per acrej the average yield varies from 15 bushels per acre in some lo calittes to 30 ant 40 bushels per acre in other?. In Union county, for example, one field of 0U0 acres averaged a fraction over 4u bushels per acre. The corn in Tmatilla county is unusually good. The fruit along the Snake river was never so good aud plentiful. In Wasco, Tmatilla and Union counties the orchards are filled with fruit, and tbe smaller orchards of the other counties have done remarkably well. Tbe harvest has been one of plenty, and the quality of cereals and fruit a sood average. B. S. PAGIE, Observer C. 8. Weather Bureau. OBIT V Alt Y. Mrs. Mary H. Cunningham, wife of Dr. I. K. Cunnlnebaii). uied at her home in this city Tuesday morning, September 15, at 4 o'clock. Brunswick (.Mo.) News. Mrs. Cunningham was the eldest sister of our tnwnsman, Mr. Win. II. Dolman, who has the sympathy of a host of friends in. his hour of sorrow. Speaking ot Mrs. Dr. Cunningham the Brunswick News has the following : ''Mrs. Cuuningham was a woman of more than ordinary intellectual strength, and was possessed of a will that faltered not at any obstacle. Pos sessed of great executive ability, a be liever in dicipline aud method, she was always equal to every emergency and situation that called for wisdom, discretion, perse vereuce and fortitude. Withal, she was kind and charitable, without ostentation or weakness scorning meanness, despising shams, but with warm heart and a free hand for all that Was des-itVing. She was Delicious. MUFFIN 8 WAFFLES. CORN BREAD. GRIDDLE CAKES. Can always be made with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. And while cakes and biscuit will retain their moist ure, they will be found flaky and extremely light and fine grained, not coarse and full of holes as are the biscuit made from ammonia baking powder. Price's Cream Baking Pow der produces work that is beyond comparison and yet costs no more than the adulterated ammonia or alum powders. Dr. Price's stands for pure food and good health. indeed a helpmeet, a stay ami a com fort to him with whom she Jotlriwyeil through more than fifty-two years of life, and the Way will lie gloomy itnd lonvsomo to him without the aid, counsel and cheer tioii which he has so long nlied. lint tho deprivation cannot be fur long. Not far ahead his hckiveu life parlour waits to welcome hint and to share with him the re wards of their mutual well-doing on earth. "The business houses of the city were closed during tho services, us an evidence of tho high regard iu which the family are held by our rit incus." "Trcrv-'iKiiiiii-iar Editor Mist: Dear Sir : Again in your issue of September 23, I notice that your correspondent, "Query," complains that I did not try to give him the light on the sub-treasury plan that he desired. No, I did not try, but I referred him to the source of as much light on that subject as its authors saw lit to give to any cf us. Cut from his last article, I judge that he did not get the tract 1 red red him toi Perhaps he "did not try" to get it. I thought, on reading his firrt orti cle, and his last confirms that opinion, that his chief desire aud atfn was to get a chance to set tho "fool farmers" ri;lit on the money question. Well, if The MtsToau find space for that laudable work, I think that be fore it accomplishment "uery" will find that hiore than one farmer hns given the question as much thought as some of their would-be teachers have. The sub treasury plah, as submitted by the alliance committee, may not be entirely what some of us would term perfect, but I assume that to be of service to the industrial class, it don't need much of a plan to ha as good as that now in use. When farm ers and ranchmen iu this county, com pelled to taise 500, are, by our sys tem, also compelled to give an amply secured note fur $000, payable in thirty days, at 10 per cent.; another iu au adjoining county gives 300 and in terest at 10 per cent, for the use of 200 for ninety days, such fellows, at least, conclude that it will not taken very nicely adjusted sub treasury plan to improve the present system. The big newspapers of this conntry and other paid agencies of the exist ing system, may continue to peddle spook stories in its defense, but there is an increasing numlier who don I feed on such yarns as much as they once did. The statement made by "Query" in his last that the greenback was "fiat money," and on that account depre-1 ciated to 40 per cent, of its faceduriug the war, shows that some modem in-1 ventor has been thinking again; for so far from its being fiat money, was be cause of the exceptions written on it, that Thad. Stevensand other congress men told us then when the bill author izing the greenback wason its passage, that having curtailed its lopul tender qnality by such excepliou, that it Was for that very reason bonnd to depre ciate. So please note, it depreciated not because it was "iiat money," but because it was not. I. C. Q. DEEDS BECOKDED.
