The Mist lias said all along tli.it I lie people ln were lomlest in coinlein nation of the officers were talking witlioiit in (. .mi llion Init were basing their shouting on ill ali-el riniiors. Just so soon as the faets luKniu- known it is all harmony. That every uim.ii having anything to lo with the roal ali'aiis is anr has at all times hcen acting for tlic lu st interests of all the people is now very jilani ami while such actions ilo not ami have tint pleaseil all the people a'! the lime, with nun h umieccessary excitement ami coinment leMilimg, let it he saiil that such a state of a II airs is l.eyoml hnman possibility. In justice to all parties it should he stated fairly that no one, officer or citien, has any righteous kick coining at the serice perform eil ami being performed by the officers ami I i. ftr it is a demonstrated and admitted fact that every clTort is tml has hcen put forth ly all to secure the greatest good for the greatest ntimher of people at all times. That tlic actions have not and will not meet with I he approval of everybody is a foregone con tliiM..ii, and that everyhody should he entitl ed to a fair statement of his or her views on tin matter is also admitted, but the deplor al'lc pait of the whole situation is that there an- some people who take it for granted thai lu-caiisi- the Court or officers do not see things like that particular individual or a particular locality , thor.e officers or the Court is crooked and ailing from some ulterior motive. I'cvclopiuei.ii to date show that there has not I. ecu ihe open and thorough uiiderstand i: between the Stale officers and the County Com t that there should have been, and t'io same lc i-lopiucnts show that the County (. oiitt has been compelled to bc.T the brunt of the iliudei. of criticism of all. without just caiHe, but. as before stated, just so soon as the iik slate of alfairs hccoi ,c known ami back ed up by fads ami figures, the people of the County ate magnanimous and patriotic fiiouh to acknowledge the mistake ami take the situation as it is without complaint. I loin the state of facts published on the first page of this paper it will he seen that an aniuaUe adjustment of the whole muddled situation is very probable. There are probab ly many people who will not be satisfied with this statement, but the majority of the broad minded tax payers will admit that it is the best subitum possible under existing circumstanc es and will now take oil their coats aid go t uoik. to uphold the Court and the officers in carrying those plans to a successiul termin ation in order that the most good will result t' the most people and the county as a whole will ieceie something of vain; for the large expenditure of public funds on the roads. We are niintini' in this issue the iircmimr - rt I"-! of the Columbia County l air which will be lu 1.1 in Si ll.leiw on Si-i.t. 1. 2 and 25 this year. President Tarbell and Secretary I!' wn. "1 Yankton, are spending considerable time in arranging for a fair th.'t will le I lit" great M affair of the kind ever held in h. cot, u!y. Hiey announce a premium list of 'ibont $1 1(H) s" arranged as to cover all the products if the county. More buildings will be added before he tune conies so that nccotnmo.lati'. w.ll !'" a in pt. f,,r all exhibitors. This yea1- it is mien. led and very much desired to make i'.is s real county fair and all parts of the eoiimy should be represented. It should be the big event of the year for all Columbia County. ( Several weeks airo the Mist published an edi torial in which attention was called to the P"or mail service between St. Helens and "tlur points in the county along the railroad me. Some kind hearted soul took the liberty (,ll'ping the article out and forwarding it to '' head of the railway mail service with the rrs"'t that an order has been made for a separ- "c sack between St. Helens ami Warren also "'ween St. Helens and Scappoose, so that 'in now on the Mist will be able to go direct r""i here to Warren and Scappoose without havin.r i,, ,.. i i i t 'n,,,. fc" iti i oi ii a nil uno i ei in ... ii be seen that a little effort along the right ''cii.in, through the medium of newspaper, ill always bring results. ( A CURTAIN LECTLTRR It is not the province of a newspaper o keep harping on one certain subject all the tune nor is it the duty of a paper to advise cer tain corporations or individuals how their business should be conducted, but under the existing circumstances we are compelled to take to task the officials of the Astoria branch f the S P. S. Ny. Co. This company is operating trains through Columbia County and depending on the trade of Columbia County citizens for at least some of its sup port. It is getting its full share of that support which is perhaps one of the reasons why it is being given this little curtain lecture.' The local train, Uainicr local, base hanged time, so has the through train for that matter, but the through train is of so little use to St. Hel ens people and patrons of the Hoiilton office that it does not matter much what they do with that train, but the local train is depended upon by the people of this locality almost en tirely. When a change of schedule is made by the company it would seem no more than reasonable that the people should be so in foruud. Kspecially should extra efforts be put forth when the change of schedule is ad opted at the time of the Rose Festival or other attractions in Portland. P.ut in the present case the change was made by the company without any notification whatever to the peo ple of this community, so that during the week (iiite a number of people have been left on account of the eariler departure of the morn ing train. St. Helens is so situated that it is most inconvenient to ascertain anything about the trains; the depot is more th.'.n a mile away from the business section, the rail road is too penurious or too negbgci: or to something to keep a telephone m the depot office so it would seem that at lea-i some thim; should be done to notify the people when changes are made, and for that matter, the schedule should be published all the time. The Mist is anxious to print all new that would be interesting or would give informa tion to the public but does not ''eel that it should do advertising for the S. I'. & S. Ky. Co., without pay. Since the above noted chang; of s-c lule the mail arrives from Portland ni il is distri buted about 10:.W in the morning, at Ua.-t an hour later than formerly. Less than 30 iiuies from Portland with several trains call day it would seem at least reasonable that our mail reach the city from Portland before such an hour. The Orcgonian now is delivered to t!'e readers a little before noon. It is no more than reasonable to suggest that the service of the railroad company to the people of this community be improved. I-TOLD-YOU SO-CLUB At last St. Helens is to be represented in the Club line by the organization this week of the "I-told on-so-Socicty". The by-laws .n a thing of beauty and place a strict limi'-.'ion upon membership; no person being eligible to membership unless he or she can take tae obligation that he or she was one of the few prophetic prophets who. during the late la mented Pond election for road purposes in Columbia County, stood up to the rack and gave out the information that the Portland Automobile Club was the main instigator of the bond election and that the citizens of Uoad Districts No. 2 and $ would get all the money and that poor old. despised St. Helens would get what the little boy shot at. It is a condi tion precedent to membership In this order that the member must be able to say that he has performed the noble duty of warning the poor deluded tax payer of this city that if bonds were voted it would be for the sole purpose of constructing a speedway for Port laud pleasure seekers. He must be able to walk up to Ham Mc Corinick. Laud Rutherford. Sw cp Morton, Dr. Mdw in Ross. Will Ross, Judge Harris the Mist editor and several other prominent ante-election bond boosters and looking the victim square in the eye repeat the mystic wnrds "I told you so". Continued next week The Firemen of St. Helens arc making ar rangements to hold one of the grainiest cele brations in St. Helens this Fourth of July ever held in the County. There will be many at tractions and there will be many visitors to the city. Just now would be a most excellent time for the people to clean up around the houses, yards and streets. It would be a good thing from the view point of looks, and health The visitors to the city would go away with a much more favorable impression of the city if the streets and yards were all spick ard span than they would if the lumber piles, wood ricks, old boxes, cans, ctcetra were lyi'ig round loose. Not saying that the city is already fairly free from such things but a little extra effort oi, the part of the citizens would help considerable.
