Mr Lara bee la quite weM known in thia section ol the coun ty and is considered aa one of the sub stantial business uicn of the country. He came from Michigan to Columbia county several yeara ago. 11c was postmaster at Trcnholm for a time before coming to Houlton. No doubt Mr I.arabee will receive the Republican nomination fur the office and if he dees, will tn-ike an active effort to be elected. His record aince coming to Columbia conuty impresses one with the idea that he is competent, capable efficient and trustworthy. Mr A S Harrison, the merchant, has an ad in this issue wh rein he tells the people of this community that he has made the experiment of buying goods in car load luta at San Francisco and having them shipped direct to St. Hel ena on the McCormick Steamers. He lately bought a car loud of sugar which came directly here on the Multnomah and he la able to aell it cheaper than they aell the same article for In Port land. He aaya the freight charges from San Francisco by the Multnomah was the same aa ia charred from I'oit land to thia city, ao that he saves at least one half the frieght charges by getting it direct frnio San Francisco. Mr Harrison saya that he can do the same with certain other goods which have to come to Portland from Call for-, nia and that hereafter when buying j good which are not products of Oregon that ho will aave freight charges by 1 buying in San Francisco.

LADY C ANO ID ATE FOR OFFICE Miss Mamie Maclay Runn ing for County Clerk In keeping with the progress of the age in respect to women becoming equal in all rights with men in Oregon, and believing that all men, and women are equal, the Democratic party has prevailed on a member of the fair sex to becom- a candidate for public office in this county. Miss Mamie Maelay, of Columbia City, haa in circulation petitions requesting the Dcmocra'ic party to nominate her for the office of County Clerk. There is no doubt of her nomination by that party and she, with her friend.. plan on an active campaign before the fall election.

WANTED.--A competent, reliable woman for housework. Quincy School Teacher and 8 Clhers Ccund over Clatxkanie, Ore .April 9 -Mrs Flora I Foreman, former a hool teacher at Cjiincy, deponed for teaching Socialism in tier school.whs yeiterday bound over to the fcrand jury after a pre.i ninary he'irmg on a charge of inciting 'o riot for an alllcged attack on the school houee at Qjinry, March 30, Nir.e eth ers were arrested with her et that time. Mrs. Foreman a case will be ma'ie a tent case and whatever the re suit in the one case will hold good in all. The heaiir.g yesterday was held be fore Justice of the Peace Barnes, and Page' hall was brought into requisi tion for the occasion because of the large crowd attending, the city hall be ing too small. The evidence was to the efflTect that on March 30, Mrs. Foreman, accom panied bv a numt tr of her friends and supporters entered tl.e achord yard at Quincy and attempted to gain forcible entrance to the school housle. They were hindered from entering for a time by Messrs. Larson, Jolma and Lumijarvi, the school board, who were then because they anticipated aueh action on the part of Mrs. Fore man, who refused to conider the new board as having legal authority and contested their right to dismiss her. The board succeeded in holding the door closed until a boy came up who de sired to enter the school house. The door opened a trifle to adrr.it his en trance when the whole crowd, some 20 in nubmer, it is said, rushed up the steps and gained entrance. Mrs. B. Clarke, the teacher who had been hired by the board in Mia. Fore man's place asserted that threats and in proper language were used freely, asseriirg, however, that Mrs. Foreman did not participate in this part of the proceeding. Mrs. Foreman trerely took her place at the desk and attempt ed to get the school under her control, according to witnesses, which the board of directors sought to prevent her from doing. Mrs. Clarke sa d that someone in the crowd threatened to throw her downstairs and give her a bloody nose if she did not at once get her things together, and "take a bike out of there." They also threatened the mem bers of the school board. The three school directors and Mrs. Clarke were the puly witnesses called by the prose cution. Car Line is Popular 2t Mrs Jack Appleton. Editorial in Condon Times April 3, 1914 Having weighed carefully in the bal ance the candidates for Governor and made careful enquiry in regard to each we are of the opinion that Charles A. Juhn la head and shoulders the best man for Governor and ho will certain ly get the support of the Times on the Republican nomination. We have come to that atage of the game when we must have retrenchment all along the line, and this Mr. Johin proposes to do in clean cut platform that means what it ay. Mr. Johns em phasises the fact that there is no valid reasin why the appropriation for boards and commissions should be In creased from $G7.000.0(1 in the years 1J03 01 to the enormous sum of f 1,- Cuptain Abel's big auto car ia prov ing as much of a popular mode of trav elling between this city and Portland as it was last Fall. Every morning Ht 4 :75 the big ear leavea St. Helens with several passengers and by the time it leavea Scappoose is filled to ca pacity. The ride to or from Portland on this car is an outing that costs so little and especially when coupled with a busin;ss trip, that all can afford it. A very popu'ar line is the St. Helens Portland Auto. Insane Man at Large In This Community Goes Crazy While Passing Through Hreaks Away from Companion SHERIFF'S POSSE IS NOW SEARCHING WOODS Tied With Rope and Sacks He Get Loose Is Seen in the Woods in Nude Condition Three men seeking work passed through St. Helen last Monday going down the track toward Rainier. They reached Deer Island that evening and took up their lodging in a vacant house near that town and went to bed. About 2 o'clock in the morning two of the men were awakened by the third man yelling and running around the house in a violent manner, whereupon a scuffle ensued which lasted for several minutes, the two men finally getting control of the insane man and after securing some rope and some old gunny ' sacks tied him up, hand and foot, as they thought securely enough to hold him. The two men then set out for St. Helens and reached the house of Deputy Sheriff Lake at 6:30 Tuesday morning. Mr. Lake immediately took an auto and in company with the two men drove to the house only to find the man had broken the ropes and fled. Search was begun in the neighborhood and information was receirved that the man had been seen going toward the hills and timber. All day Tuesday Mr. Lake and several men scoured the woods and hill surrounding Deer Is land but without success. Wednesday search was made again but without avail. About 5 o'clock Wednesday evening while two young girls were go ing along the road from the Masten crossing toward Houlton, the man ap peared from the woods suddenly in a nude state, without clothing of any kind and made toward the girls, who ran down the road toward some houses and the man turned again into the woods. Word waa telephoned into the sheriff's office end Fred Watkins with two men made a record run fur the place where he had been seen but again the insane man had disappeared and could not ba found. Deputy Sheriff Lake organized a posse yesterday and began a systematic search for the man. The two men who were with him at the time he suddenly became violent saij they had come from Portland and were looking for work. Tbey gave his name as Louie Davidson. So far he ia atill at large but will probably be captured before long. ST. HELENS GIRL IS MARRIED Miss Nellie Laws Marries Business Man In San Francisco on March 30th Miss Nellie U.

Miss Law has been raised in St. Helena .and hag many friends here who will extend to her heutty congratulations upon her mar riago to a young man who is recom mended by those who know him as a worthy young buisnees man of the Cal ifornia metropolis. He is the son of Mr and Mrs II Frohman of that city. well to do business people. Tbey will mske their home in San Francisco. SHIPPING NOTES 178,091. SO in the years 1913-14. and this sum and all other appropriations Mr. Jihns promise to use every effort in hi power, if elected Governor, to reduce, or at least keep them within the bounds of reason. It behoove the people of every county in the state to weigh well who they place in the governor's chair at this time. A man should be chosen who has a record for integrity and abil ity, ona who ia endowed not only with a thorough knowledge of the law but with that characteristic which seems to be hard to find ir these days, plenty of sound hors- sense. We believe Mr. John to be such man, and as such will support him to the last ditch. To bring Mr. Johns' personality nearer home, we may mention he is a brother of Mr. Chto John who it will he readi ly remembered bought wheat In this district Inst season. CHARLKS A. JOHNS.

Commodore Jahnsen Here The Steamer Klamath which arrived in port Wednesday night is again un der command of Captain Edward Jahn sen. so well known to all of our people. Soon after the trial t ip of the Celilo, Capt Jahr.sen suffered serious illness and was confined to his home for sev eral m-inths. His many friends are glad to so him at his usual post of duty and hope that he will continue to improve until he has regained hi us ual good health. After a passage ot ?7da6ys, the well known schooner Irene, Capt. Mitchell, arrived in the river Wednesday from Hobart, Tasmania. The Irene left this city Sept. 14th with a cargo of a million feet of lumber bound for Tas mania. She made the run down in 94 day which is a fairly good passage. At the time of his departure, Capt. Mitchell stated he would be back in the river in six months, so he missed his guess only by a fsw days, which is pretty close guessing considering the fact that he has sailed his vessel close to 20,000 miles since leaving this city. The Irene passed up yesterday under tow of theOklahama bound for Linntor where ahe will take a full cargo for the McCormick people for delivery at San Pedro. The flagship of the McCormick fleet, . tne Klamath is at the docks of the lum ber company completing hei cargo. She will sail tonight with a million feet of lumber for San Pedro delivery and also take her usual 60 passenger. The big Norwegian steamship Chris tian Bon, i due to arrive hete the latter part of the month to take on something over a million feet of lum ber which goes to the "Flowery King dom." The Steamer Yosemite arrived at the docks of the Columbia County mill this afternoon, bringing freight and passen gers from San Francisco. She will complete her cargo here and probably sail for Southern California point Monday night. The Yosemite ia now under command of Capt Lundquist, he having relieved Captain Marro who received a well deserved promotion by being appointed masWr of the large steamer F H Leggett.
