Though times are very dull and cash
scant, yet the industrious farmers seem
prosperous; fields are being cleared and
orchards planted, now bums and houses
are being built; so the ax and saw will do
their work as long as willing hands will wield
them. Hard time are rough on ihe common
laborer, who must buy all the necessaries
of his existence, but the economical farmer.
who keeps out of debt is safe and hard
times to him is like "water on a duck's
back," and especially in a year like the post
one, when crops are so abundant.
Now the time Is at hand for the county
court to make new supervisors, and, of
course, they will make new ones instead of
putting the old one back. This is a mis
take. The new supervisor does not know
the bad placea in the roads a well ss the
old one. it is eur opinion that Ihe super
visor should serve at least five years. We
take, for example, Scappoose road district,
which is the banner district of the county,
simply bsoause Harry West has been super
visor for tho past tour years. When P.
Smith was supervisor here two years in
succession, be don three times as much
work the last year as he did the first, Mr.
Smith should be appointed again.

December 29, 1891.
Kditos Mist -Ws are sorry to relate a
sad accident which took place In the Upper
Deep creek settlement about 2 o clock last
Monday night, there being a fearful wind
storm raging at that time. A man by the
name of John Vandanberg and family, con
sisting of wife, three children and his aged
father, had settled on a homestead in the
wilderness. A Urge II r tree Deing proses
off sixty or eighty feet from its ba-e. falling
upon the frail shanty, tb. result of which
may easily be conjectured. The wife, being
frightened by the terrific Hind-falls that
surrounded tbem a few minute before Uie
fatal result, arose end removed her two
little girls from tbe room which their grand
father was lying in, and placed them in ber
own bed with tbe husband, tbe little boy
being ud with his mother. Just then a
large piece of the broken tree came crash
ing through the roof, falling directly upon
the old gentleman . killing him almost in
stantly, and literally demolishing ths bed
previously occupied by the children.
The husband, wile and three children
escaped with slight injury, snd spent the
remainder of tbe night at tbe base of a
large leaning maple tree near by. We can
imagine tbe terror and grief thst'these poor
homeless people must have endured during
that eventful night. Tuesday . December
29. at 8 o'clock p. m.. a few of the neigh
bors psid their last respects to that venera
ble pioneer, Cornelius Vandanberg, by
placing his mortal remains, dressed In its
best garment, in a rough cedar coffin and

SCOTT McN TJLTY. At the St. Helens
htttel, St. Helens, Sunday, January 3. by
Rev. Burlingame. Mr. John Scott and
. Mr. M. J. McNulty.
PERSONAL. -
Mr. Isaao Wingard, a prominent citi
zen of Ceatralia, Wash., ha been
spending a weok in this city under Dr.
Damn's care, for catarrh. To a reporter
of the Oregouian he Tela ted his ex
perience with Dr. ' Damn, which,
toaay the least, ia very complimentary
to the doctor, and aatisfactory to him
self. We quote hie own word : "For
eighteen yesrs, prior to calling on Dr.
Darrin four year ago, I. had been one
of the greatest sufferer . from asthma
and bronchitis known to the medical
profession. The moet of tbe time I was
incapacitated from work of any kind,
and my suffering were terrible. Mr.
Qnimby, of tbe Quimby house, Port
land, saw me when I came to the Doo
tor. Now he can vouch for my good
health, as I have been a guest of hi
hotel the past week. I am now free
from asthma, and have no bronchial
trouble. I can walk up and down
stair aa well a any man of my age.
I cannot epk too highly of Dr. Dr
riu's elect rio and medical treatment.
A number ot my friend have been
cured by Dr. Darrin of different
chronic diseases, - Sefer your reader
to me. Y
Mr. Wingard' case i certainly re
maskable, and it only one oi the many
thai have come under our observation,
and should go far to establish Dr. Dar
rin 's reputation a one of the foremost
electriciana of the age. While Edison
excels in the application of electricity
to machinery. Dr. Darrin ia master of
the eleotrie art in its application for
the cure of disease. The throngs of
people thai besiege hit offices at 701
Washington street is proof of hi hold
on the people'a confidence. Private
carriage are often seen stand ing ia
front of the dootor't office. '
