DOUBTFUL STATES
TkS rotten little state of Nevada,
which it owned by the millionaire nil
in king Senator Wm. M. Stewart,
the oolv "state" which the peoph
party, With the help of the democrats,
have a fielitme chance to carry. .v
with the helpof S ewarland the demo
crats it ii doubtful whether Hevada
will ote for the "calamity' eleciora.
The democrats will vote the people
ticket in Idaho and North Dakota,
but the chances for the republican
BiicctK in both of these states U rra
onably good. There is no other state
where the Weaver ticket has any
show at all. Outside of the three
state named the fight will be between
the republicans and the democrats
with the chances strongly in favor of
the election of Harrison and "Reid.
The South is solidly democratic, as
usual, and the' North is republican,
with the exception probably of the
states that voted for Cleveland four
years ago, and with a slight chance
that Weaver will carry one of the
three states above named with the
aid of the democrats.
ASTORIA RAILROAD AGAIN.
President Clark, of the Union Pa
cific, and party, who were in Astoria
Sunday looking into railroad matters,
gave some evidence to an Oregonian
reporter that his company was inter
ested in the Astoria road proposition.
While be did not say definitely that
his mission to the sea was for the pur
pose of railroad extension, yet he did
not deny that the Union Pacific was
thinking of purchasing the Portland
A Astoria road, or at least running a
line down the Columbia river to Ocean
connection. There was nothing in
bis remarks but what led to bis reali
sation of the fact that it was necessary
for hi company to extend its road to
Astoria. The gentleman further said :
"Work on the Portland Pnget Sound
branch will be resumed in the near
future. When completed the road
will be used by both the Union Pacific
and Great Northern, each company
having a half interest in it."
Columbia Cocsty shows 1 1,911,284
in taxable property; exemptions and
debt, $611,770; net for taxation, $1,
299,624. Land is assessed at $3.50;
bones at $12; cattle, $17.25. The
tix on $1,299,624 at 2 per cent, will
amount to $32,490 60 for the year 1S92.
This is a large increase over last year
and almost double that of four years
ago, which goes to show that Colum
bia county is growing at a rapid rate.
Asa matter, of comparrison we cite
the condition of Morrow cocnty, as
follows: Total taxable property, $1,
916,737, or over $5,000 more than
Columbia; exemption and debt, $760,
385, or $149,000 more than Columbia;
net for taxation, $1,156,352, or $143,
272 less than Columbia. This com
parison proves conclusively that the
people's interests in Columbia county
are as well guarded as in any other
county of the state, and better than
some of them ; that the assessor has
done his duty in gathering and sum
marizing the property of the county
that the taxes for all pur-poses may
be collected on all property at a fair
valuation. We ask the populists
those who are in the bappy posses
sion of their faculties to read these
jure carefully. ;
Upon the accession of the republican
party to power came the restoration of
the policy of the fathers. A highly
protective system, supervision of the
currency by the creation of banks,
and the appropriation of money on a
colossal scale for works of internal im
provement, went hand in band with
the great struggle to uphold the gov
ernment. With the democracy thirty
years were enough to render the na
tion a wreck. What has been the re
sult ot thirty years of republican rule
the great measures it inaugurated
remaining unchanged, the only pur
pose of the amendments thereto be
ing to increase their efficiency and
value? Thirty years in a country like
our own is enough to test the value of
any measure. Upon the experience of
the past our system of banks and of
protection must stand or fall. If the
past does not fully vindicate them no
argument can. And what have been
the results of the thirty years of re
publican rule? A degree of prosper
ity in which all classes alike share, and
of which history bas no example.
The evidence bas been sufficiently set
forth an increase of products and
wealth in a ratio five-fold greater than
that of our numbers; a Heady and im
mense decline in prices of all articles,
particularly manufactures; a steady
and enormous increase in rates of
wages, So that a day's work brings
twice as much to the laborer as it did
fifteen or twenty years ago.
Loxo ago the democrats of Oregon
split and one wing of the party called
the others ''pizarinctums." Now Pen
noyer bas bolte J, and he calls the regu
lar democrats "Clevelandilcs" and
'bob tailed politicians." It was ba
i onough, in the days tbst tried men's
! souls, to be a "pisarinctuin," but it is
worse and more of it to be 'bob-tailtd
politician." Tho governor deliberately
slashes of the tails of the creatures
who elected him, and then iashes them
around tin) ring and laughs at their
condition. This is Ingratitude piled
mountains high, and is a punishment
suited to the crime of having elected
such a demagogue as Sylvester reu
noycr to be tho states chief executive.
A man whose disposition leads t
"rule or ruin" ts not a servant ot the
people.
PRICES IS iS6l AND llf 189!.
An Indiana farmer gives the result
of his investigations to the Indianap
olis Journal as fullows: "Having in
my possession an oM daybook, in
which are recorded the sales of a retail
general store in Greenfield, Hancock
county, Ind., during the year 1851,
curiosity led me to make some com
parisons between the prices then and
now. The following lists of ten items
which the farmers sold and ten which
they purchased, with the accompany
ing prices in 1851, and taken promis
cuously from this daybook, and rep
resent sales and purchases made at
various times during the year, and, al
though, of course, the prices then, as
now, varied somewhat with the season,
in no instance do I find them lower
for things purchased by the farmers
nor higher for the shings they sold
than here given. I also give the prices
of the same items here today :

"There are some things in this old
book which would be interesting read
ing for those who long to return to the
"good old times" of the revenue tariff
era. For instance, I find the following
record : 'To one grain shovel, to be
paid for with one bushel of wheat,'
Such shovels today are sold for 75
cents."
It is a waste of time to talk to a
mau who will make an assertion with
out the facts to substantiate the same.
The world is, so to speak, full of just
such people.
The Same Here.
Judee McBride bas won golden
opinions from the people and the bar
bv the judicial fairness and ability
which be bas displayed during the
term that is now drawing to a close.
He bas dispensed justice intelligently
nd wisely. His decisions in matters
of legal practice have been given
promptly and clearly. As the result,
few "exceptions" have been noted and
no discontent has been manifested by
litigants or lawyers. The judge has
done his utmost to restrict court ex
penses and has expedited U!lSifies by
evening sessions. He has held voluble
wiUiegsarin check and at times re
strained counsel for their own good.
In weighty suits, as well as in affairs
of less account, Judge alcana nas
paid close attention to details and has
imparted cheerfulness to the dullest
cases. Astoria n .
Judge McBride bas shown the peo
ple that he was the court in fact, and
that no lawyer or no combination of
lawyers can run the court. His de
cisions are quick and to the point,
thus expediting matters a great deal
compared with our former court, and
at the same time no one questions the
fairness of his rulings. His undivided
attention is devoted to bis duties,
which is gratifying to the taxpayers.
Dusan-Kyser vs. Meaerre Bros.
In the case of Duzan A Kyser vs.
Meserve Bros., which occupied the at
tention of the circuit court all day
Friday, and Saturday the jury, after
being out about half an hour, returned
a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs.
This case grew out of the purchase of
a sawmill by Meserve Bros, in 1890. at
that time Duzan A Kyser being in
possession of the mill, which was held
subject to a mortgage by J. M. Arthur
A Co., in Portland, fur the machinery,
amounting to $1,449.50. It seems thaw
after some talk with Duzan A Kyser
by one of the brothers, the final pur
chase was effected with Arthur A Co.
whereby the defendants in the cane
were permitted to take possession of
the property and remove it to another
location. The price first talked of by
Used in Millions of Homes
praiOES
rf?am Baking
the Moserres with Duxaa A Kyser was
$2,000, $1,600 of which was to satisfy
the mortgage of Arthur A Co., and
$500 to go ro the plaintiffs, Dusan A
Kyser. This purchase Was not made,
ixnd later on the property was bought
from Arthur A Co. direct, their lien on
the machinery having matured, the
purchase not including anything ex
cept that part of tho mill covered by
Arthur & Co.'s lien, and this certain
property was all that was removed
from the site, Duzan & Kyser being
present at all times during the mov
ing and forbidding the (deserves re
moving anything except such articles
as had come from Arthur A Co,

In the Circuit Court of the State ot Oregon,
for Columbia County.
Toths Honorable Thomas A. McBride,
Judge of the above named Coortt
The undersigned,, your grand Jury for
the October (1S92) term of sahl eour, re
spectfully report as follows:
We have tiaminod into U charges of
crime bronchi before us and htrve returned
indictments In all cases where we thought
the evidence was sufficient to support a
conviction.
We have hoard no complaints against ths
various county officers, and as far as we
could learn they are all properly and offl-
ctently performing the duties of their re
spective unices, Ws did not deem it advis
able to attempt to make a full examina
tion of the books and accounts ot the
county officers. To maks a thorough ex
amination ot the same would take more
time than ws thought practicable for this
grand Jury to remain In session, and we
were unwilling to make a hurried examina
tion ot said books and accounts, which
would be unsatisfactory and of no benelit
to the public. As ths county officers are
required to settle with the county court, we
leave the matter with that body.
We are Informed that ths county court
has allowed ths insurance on the court
house to expire. We recommend that the
county court insure the same against fire
in some good, reliable insurance ooinpany.
And now, having completed our labors,
sreask to be dlschotged.

It is not n n usual for colds contract
ed in the fall to hang on all winter. In
such cases catarrh or chronio bronchi
tis are almost sure to result. A fifty
cent bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy will cure any cold. Can you
afford to risk so much for so small an
amount? This remedy is intended
especially for bad colds and croup and
can always be depended upon. For

CLATBKAN1E.
Hiss Nora Ccnyers is in Oregon
City, probably for tbe winter. .
W. R.Holmes, of Upper Clatskanie,
had a child badly burned last Satur
day by its clothing accidentally catch
ing fire.
One more blacksmith added to the
town last week, but too young yet to
handle a sledge.
Tbe public schools, under Professor
Cleeton's direction, are making prep
arations to properly observe Colum
bus Day Friday, liie schools here
expect to be joined by those of Marsh
land and the Barr district and have
the exercises participated in by all the
schools. Rehearsals are going on this
week and an interesting time is ex
pected. Several of our citizens were reqnired
to be in attendance at court last week,
either as jurors or witnesses, and most
of them put on their white shirts to
show the people at the county seat
that we have starch as well as brains
in this city.
The Portland Exposition has also
drawn largely upon Clatskanie for
support during the past ten days, and
a list of all who have visited it from
this place would take up the balance
of this column. The steamer's regis
try book would give names to any
wanting to find them.
Eour head of work cattle, with
yokes, chains, etc., were sold at sheriff's
sale on Monday last. It did not seem
to be a (rood day to realize much out
of that kind of property. The oxen
sold for about tbe value of hide and
tollow, while the yokes and chains
ought to have brought more at a pawn
brokers.
The town has been embellished, re
cently with several large-sized pictures
of Harrison and Reid, which can be
seen in several of our business bouses.
They are good campaign pictures, fur
nished, we understand, by W. II. uon
yers,
Chas. Meserve, of the Oregon City
Enterprise, spent a lew days in town
the first of this week visiting friends.
A party of ladies was seen escorting
tbe minister over the bridge last Sat
urday, and the nnusual sight causing
some comment, it was learned upon
inquiry that they were all going along
to lower Beaver to assist in making
pastoral calls that day. Since their
return next evening it is also learned
that they scattered out somewhat be
fore reaching their destination, fearing
that the sight of so large a number
traveling together would terrorize the
people they were going to see and
that they would find the doors locked
and the chickens all carefully con
cealed under waehtubs. Their pre
caution in this matter was wise, and
secured them very generous and hos
pitable entertainment among the ex
cellent people in that locality.
Mrs. N. Tingle was a passenger on
the Shaver Friday, returning from
Oregon City, where she has spent the
last two months.
A MORAL- BIBD.
There's a lesson to be learned, I've beard,
In the actions of each timid bird.
The ostrich o'er the desert ran,
Far from tbssinful haunts of man;
Yet, longing with a searching eye
For some pet folly to descry ,
She cams upon a little shed
"Oh, this can not be right," she said;
"Man must Indeed be very vile,
To bide bis actions 'neath this pile."
And then she started to relate
Her find. Bat it was all too late.
The huntsman, hiding just at hand,
Now close pursues her o'er the sand .
The moral bird now tries a spurt
The more pursued tbe more throws dirt
Until, at last, when brought to stand ,
She bid her head down In the sand .
Ths moral of this tale, I've heard,
T were better for a moral bird,
In things it does not understand,
To keep its bead down in the sand,
Lest the curiosity that led
In shams should cause to hide its head.
