This will give the people of St.

lust and only chance of seeing the
oldest vessel allout, as this will be
her only atop on the Columbia river.
The "Success" wus built in 1790,
In Kust India, as an armed East

human freight. The airless dung
eons, the condemned cells, the whip
ping posts, the manacles, the brand

other cruel devices, are all shown in
their original state.
Watch the Mist for the exact date
when she will be here. It will be a
rare treat, one well worth seeing.

what the fanners cun do here if they
will.
Calla are received every day by the
cannery from parties from Clatskanle
to Scappoose, wanting to know if
they can bundle their produce. This
looks encouraging and now that the
Industry Is launched and going under
competent management, it will put

can government has practically ex
hausted every peaceful expedient to
restore peace in the neighboring re
public, and the calling In of the Latin
American nations to participate in the
contemplated restoration of peace in
Mexico, is but another evidence to
the Mexican people of American
friendship and the disinterested mo
tives which inspire the American gov
ernment.
No one will dispute the fact that
tho American government is pos
sensed of the power to compel peace
in Mexico on its own initiative. But
the American government does not
desire to appear In the light of a
strong auu mighty nation coercing a
weaker nation already devastated by
war, to establish peace through the
exercise of military force. Sister
Latin-American nations have been
called in to co-operate with the Uni
ted States in giving peace and const!
tutlonal government to the Mexican
nation, and if trouble grows out of
the situation, the blame therefor
must rest upon those who resist the
A. H. Tarbell, while in the
city one day the past week. In
conversation with a St. Hel
ens business man, spoke very
encouragingly about the prop
osition of a creamery which is
under advisement and investi
gation by a committee com
posed of six Warren and
Yankton citizens, and of
which he Is chairman. Mr.
Tarbell stated that the com
mittee was busy and meeting
with encouragement from the
people and that so far as he
could now say, the majority
seemed to favor a creamery.
He was not in touch with oth
er committeemen as to what
stock had been promised, or
as to what amount could be
secured. But he is very much
enthused with the plan and is
confident that the proposition
will mature.
If such is the case, It may
be that arrangements will be
made to establish the industry
in the building now occupied
by the Independent Auto com
pany, but which is to be va
cated in the near future. This
would be an ideal location.
Later Word has been re
ceived by the Mist, as we are
ready to go to press, that the
above committee will meet
one night this week at the
home of E. C. Jacobson, on
Bachelor Flat and report what
has been done. The report
says that it looks favorable
for a creamery, but that the
people are willing to work to
gether for whatever the ma
jority wishes.

Not since the St. Helens Ship
building yards was established have
prospects been so promising for a
busy year. Already contracts have
been made which will take the great
er part of the year to fill, with prom
ises of more.
During the past week, the com
pany has been awarded a contract by
the Columbia Contract company to
build another barge, being the third
one the past year the local ship
building yards have constructed for
them. This barge, which Is to be
used in transporting rock and sand,
will be 28x90 feet and 5 feet deep.
A force of men will be put to work
immediately on its construction.
Communications have been re
ceived from foreign countries, seek
ing information as to whether a con
tract could be handled at once to
construct several vessels. Chrls-
toffer Hannevig, manager of one of
the largest companies in Norway,
cabled the company here for figures
on a Jarge wooden vessel, to be a
duplicate of the schooner which is
soon to be constructed at the yards.
A communication was also received
from officials of Mexico and from the
