TWENTY YEARS AGO
Tm Mist, J;imiary 11, 1S95.
Assessor White, of Quincy, was in
town yesterday.
Edwin Morril has been appointed
administrator of tho estate of Olo
Olson, deceased.
Next Monday Oregon's pardon ma
chine will cease to run, and after
clearing up the offall tho criminal
courts can enjoy a much needed rest.
Pennoyer operated the mill success
fully, making tho biggest turn-out
on record.
It has been whispered around that
a bunk is soon to bo started in St.
Helens. Such an Institution finan
cially strong, managed by reliable
business men would no doubt be n
success as well as a convenience to
the public.
Commissioner Schoonovcr, of Ver
nonia, camo over Tuesday to attend
the regular Jununry term of county
court. Ho reports four feet of snow
ou the mountains between St. Hel
ens and Vernonia, making travo'
between the two places almost Im
possible The river at this place last Sat
urday morning was full of suwlogs,
which were said to havo come from
the Willamette. They woro mixed
In with floating Ice and some drift
wood. People along the Bliores with
small boats wore busy picking up
logs a good part ot the day.
Articles of incorporation were
filed with the secretary of state last
Thursday, incorporating the Oregon
Construction Company, which will
have its principal office nt. Astoriu.
The capital stock Is placed at $3,000,
000. It has been suggested that the;,

Hon. T. J. Cleeton was in town
yesterday morning and left on the
afternoon boat for Salem to attend
the' legislature. Mr. Cleeton has
been putting In some timo famlliarlz
ing himself with tho needs of his
constituents and goes to Salem with
a number of measures framed, which
ho hopes to reccivo favornllo action
upon, and anticipates some good
work accomplished by tho body In
tho interest of the people.
Mr. A. Holaday, nurseyman of
Scappoose, Inform us that he
sold all his apples this year at $1
per box. Quality will always regu
late tho price, and there Is always
a demand for tho superior art cln.
Mr. Holaday raises fruit for a busi
ness, and consequently strives to
keep up the quality, thereby com
manding the best price In tho mar
ket. Other fruit growers nny do the
samo thing if they will give tho at
tention to their orchards that they
should.
We have been Informed by a gen
tleman faimliar with the document
that a bill has been framed and will
be presented to the legislature, by
the people of Rainier, asking that
tho people of Columbia county may
be allowed to vote on tho re-location
of thee ounty seat. The bill pro
vldos, as we 'are Informed, that at
the next general election tho ques
tion of changing tho county seat will
bo submitted to the people, and that
in caBe of no place receiving a ma
jority cf all votes cast, a second vote
will be taken on the two highest can
didates at tho general election fol
lowing. In another column will bo found
an article from the pen of a Clncka
amas county road builder, which is
worthy the consideration of the peo
ple of this county. Better roads are
needed, and If tho theory outlined by
the writer could be put Into practice
In this or any other county, tho peo
ple of the state of Oregon would be
much better oft than they are, fi
nancially speaking. No great ad
vance can be poped for in the tim
bered counties of this state until tho
road systems have readied a greater
Btate of perfection, and the sooner
there is some system Inaugurated
that will meet witli the Ideas and fi
nances of those counties tho sooner
we are going to enjoy a more healthy
growth. Consider tho points ot tho
article rofered to and see how much
you can Improve upon It.
A FRESH SHAVE
Adds lone to any
man. That's why
we are so busy and
there are so many
tony people in this
town.
