ROLL CALL IMeguUw Are Klerted to Dixtrit-t Convention Avon Ix)dge No. 62, K. of P., of this city, will bold Its annual roll call on Tuesday, Feb. 22. This will be the twenty-first annual event of this kind held by the lodge, as It was organized In 1894. Invitations will soon be sent out to the members and neighboring lodges and a grand time Is anticipated. Martin White, A. L. Stone and M. E. Miller were chosen as delegates from the K. of P. lodge of this city to attend the District convention to be held at Seaside on Feb. 26. Busi ness of considerable Importance will be transacted, including arrange ments for the reception of Supreme Lodge visitors next August. COLD WEATHER CONTINUES There has boen but little change In the weather for the past ten days. Tuesday morning the river was closed, but not ot sufficient thickness to prevent navigation. The Ice was about an Inch thick. Skating has been a popular sport, but on the Columbia as it was decid edly unsafe. Scappoose bay furnished an ideal skating rink, when parties glided over the .smooth surface until mid night. The sleighing has been all that could be desired. All sorts of vehicles sprang into existence and wheels have been relegated to the rear. Frozen water pipes have caused lots of trouble and Mr. Constantly the plumber, Is kept on the Jump. The milt and shipyard closed down Tuesday of last week and the cheery whistle of the mill was not heard again until Monday morning. , Cargoes were furnished for the outgoing vessels. The longshore men scooped driveways In the snow and the work ot taking on lumber proceeded under difficulties. School was dismissed several days on acount of the low pressure of steam heat. The snow is about 12 Inches deep, light and dry. The winter ot '16 will certainly have a place in history and will mark an era to be referred to in after years.

The Columbia River Canning & Produce Co., while in operation only one year, makes a remarkably good showing. During last year the plant paid out to nearby farmers for produce, $10414.62. With an in creased capacity it Is expected that this sum will be nearly doubled. The amount paid out for labor, mostly to women and girls, totaled the handsome sum ot $5199.40. These two Items are a credit to any plant of even larger capacity and we challenge any cannery In the state to make a better showing. Another Important matter is that the product of the cannery has been marketed and owing to its superior quality, brought a good price. The cannery has already booked orders for 40,000 cases of beans for September delivery. SHIPPING. The steamer John B. Stetson left Wednesday for San Francisco with 850,000 feet of lumber and a small list of passengers. The San Ramon arrived In Wed nesday evening and took, on 900,00 feet of lumber for San Pedro and passengers. The steamer Willamette pulled out Saturday night for San Diego with 900,000 feet of lumber and thirty passengers. The steamer Multnomah is tied up at Astoria on acount ot ice. She will probably be able to make her way up in a few days. Capt. Wrightson of Mobile, Ala., left Wednesday for his southern home. While here he contracted with the shipbuilding plant for a boat to be ready for delivery in a few months. Capt. Wrightson will inter view his associates in the hope of placing orders for additional boats. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. School started this week with very few failures in exams, and most all students have made resolutions to get out of them in May. The freshmen have seven mem bers in their class from the Houlton Grammar schools, J. Masters, R. Mc Queen, A. Morris, A. Payne, H. White and J. Model. Well, Saturday night the S. H. H. S. met defeat by a score ot 16 to 14. "Sure was close." St. Helens played a fast game all through, but some how Rainier got the game. The pre liminary- St. Helens freshmen with Houlton Grammar grades was a rough gamo, which ended In a score which was largely St. Helens'. Last Friday evening the -High School had a good old time straw ride, which consisted of four horses, a big bob Bled and nine couple, also eats. They started from the school at 7:30 p. m., seeing sights on Bach elor Flat and Warren. Singing was J the chief enjoyment, getting home at 11 p.m. and hogging up the good time, but telling weird tales ot froz en feet. Several other smaller par ties were also held. School was dismissed Wednesday a. m., on account of the cold, but took up in the afternoon in all rooms except Miss Leith's. NAME CORRECTED We were misinformed as to the given name of Simmons the long shoreman, arrested last week under the prohibition law. The name should have been Ed Simmons in stead ot Roy Simmons. We regret this error as we learn that there Is a gentleman in this county by tho same name and we gladly make this correction, not only in Justice to Mr. Simmons but in keeping with our de sire to have all matters correctly stated. In this connection we will state that this arrest under the prohibition law, was No. 3 Instead ot No. 1. WHERE'S "BILL" From a private source we learn that the peoplo of Warren are won dering what has become of one W. J. Fullerton. The last heard ot him was some ten days ago, when be and Mrs. Fullerton wore registered at a Portland hotel. LIST OF JURORS Panel Drawn for Jury Duty for the . Year 1010 Aaron, James A., Rainier.

(Continued on page 4) ANOTHER RECALL ELECTION UNDER WAY Taxpayers League Will Institute Recall UXDER THE RECALL A. L. Clark, County Judge. A. E. Harvey, Commissioner. Judson Weed, Commissioner. A recall election has been Insti tuted by the Columbia County Tax payers' League for the recall of Judge Clark and associate commis sioners. The charges set forth In tho recall are as follows: We, the undersigned citizens, resi dents and legal voters ot the State of Oregon, and the County of Colum bia, respectfully demand the recall ot County Judge A. L. Clark, ot said Columbia County, Stato of Oregon, and I, each tor myself, say: I have personally signed this petition; I am a legal voter of the County of Colum bia, and State ot Oregon; my resi dence and postofllce address are cor rectly written after my name. The following are the reasons for making said demand: (1). That said A. L. Clark, as County Judge, has ignored the ex press demands and wishes of the tax payers and legal voters ot Columbia County in levying an unnecessarily exhorbitant and burdensome tax for the ensuing year. (2). That the said A. L. Clark, as County Judge, has ignored the ex press demands and wishes of the tax payers and legal voters of Columbia County, and ot several successive grand Juries, in employing a highway engineer for said County, which em ployee, or official. Is of doubtful value, if any, to Columbia County, and an unnecessary burden and ex pense. (3). That the said A. L. Clark, as County Judge, has purchased with public funds, without first having advertised therefor, a five-passenger louring automobile, which machine the said A. L. Clark has put to ex cessive and unnecessary use at an excessive and unnecessary expense to Columbia County. (4). That the said A. L. Clark, as County Judge, has wilfully, deliber ately and repeatedly overridden and ignored the express wishes of the taxpayers and legal voters ot Colum bia County in matters affecting the public interests and has practically refused and denied the said taxpayers and legal voters the right to be heard in such matters, either by petition or otherwise. (5). That the said A. L. Clark, as County Judge, is incompetent to properly perform the duties of his office. The charges against Judge Clark and Commissioner Harvey aro Iden tical, but the fourth chargo is omitted against Commissioner Weed, for the reason that he was elected to office after the alleged purchase of an auto had boen made. Judge Clark and Commissioner Harvey were elected under a recall election two years ago, when Judge Harris and Commissioners Farr and Flurer were recalled. Petitions for an election will be circulated in a few days. The management of the recall elec tion Is in charge ot the directors of the Taxpayers' League, which is com posed as follows: Mrs. Fred Uhlman, Gustave Lange, Bert Wost, Mrs. M. J. Watts, K. F. Larson, P. H. Lund, Edwin Ross, Glen Metsker, G. L. Tar bell, Fred H. Adams, Joseph Hackln berg and Wm. Rose. The officers of the loague are ex-offlclo members of this committee. UNCLAIMED LETTERS.
