"Time and tide awaits not the actions of no iiimii," aaya an old adage, and a miiiaenia aolemn refluvtion only re minds one too vividly of the truthful nuaa of the aayinir.

It i to be hoped, however, that the commit year will brine; with it prosperity to nil nations, and l he time when we will experience ucli conditions as we . have the past year may never oome again. The execution of John Rieter, the Claieop county murdorer, took place at Antoria last jr nriHy, and waa wit' nested by some 200 invited sieclator. The crime for which Kieler paid the extreme penalty of the law war Ibn brutul murder of Victor Suellman on a lonely mountain road between Olnev and Astoria. Rieter confessed 1 i - crime aud acknowledged the juntice of the penally he wa receiving for it. Rieter waa the Oral person to be lei!' ally executed iu Clatsop county. He was a native of Germany, twenty three year old, and has two siatera aud three brother in the old country. John Haasen, who murdered hi aged wife and waa to have been hanged with Kk'ter, waa respited until December 8, pending the hearing f a motion for a new trial. Hanaen is 63 year of age, and a confirmed drunkard. He mur dered hia wife to obtain posaesaion of $1200 which she had in the bunk. It ia not thought probable that executive clemency will interfere to save hia neck. It ia known even to Salem people that Columbia county had a populist sherifT, and a peeking of the atrange and sudden disappearance of him, the Daily Statesman' haa the following to say in an editorial: "lha bondsmen of the pnpulial sheriff of Columbia county who will have to pay bis $5000 shortage, since he ha skipped and gouo beyond (he reach of grape-vine or pumpkin-vine dispatches, are form er democrats and republicans who went off after atrange political sod. The only recommendation that the fellow hud was that he claimed to be a populist and these bondsmen see at length that this is nut sufficient re reenmmendatiou to bank on. This will entirely kill .the pumpkin-vine party down there. Rather expensiv funeral for A poor bondsman, though.' That Sheriff Masaie left St. Helens L,i,h n -fa wt owr A doubl but is coiuidered bv all aa a foreicone conclusion. Ma sia'a office aff.irs are in an awful shape, and it will take the constant care of au experienced man to get head or tail to the thing. Not one bit of in formation haa ao far reached here con cerning hi whereabouts, further than a few line in Wednesday evening Telegram, stating that he hud been seen in Milton, B. C, a few day ago by a traveling niau. It i the gener ally accepted opinion, however, bj those whoknew anything ot ma ou al liens affaire that he went meaning to stay and no hope of Ins returning here ia entertained for a moment, un less he be brought back by the au horitics. As a result of an effort put forth by persons at thia place and at Vernonm. we are enabled to receive mail direct from the Nehulem valley the aame day it leaves Vernonia. The mail from Vernonia and Pittsburg arrives al Houlton at 4 p. m. and is brought to this office immediately.. Patrons of il, e Mres al both ends of the route find Ibis a great convenience, and those through whose efforts this ar rangement wa brought hooui are ae aervinir of considerable credit for their nnerirv in lha matter. Heretofore it has been necessary to wait one uuy ioi mail to be conveyed from Houlton to this office and the same from here to Houlton, but under the present regime we are aupplied with a complete service. Stranae meteorological conditions existed Tuesday at this place. Banka of foil were visible in the distant east and south, during wieeuny pan ihon Ut. iii the afternoon the . whole country wa enveiopo.j heaviest fog we hae witnessed this winter. The fog came trom me souui, another strange freak, aud more espec ially so since it waa unaccompanied by a aoutherly velocity. Old Oregon- inns give reauy pproi lion that winter weather in this stute i becoming more of a oonundrum etch ueceeding year, and that the wisest of them are absolutely unable to fo tell the future weather conditions from loose of the past.

Butea. Fred Widger, L. H. Bee Is, Miasea Cynthia Ferchen, Anna Merrill, Eva Widger, Mary Buwen. Boine years ago we heard a gentleman re mark that a streak of hard times was a good thing for any new country. We did not agree with his Idea yet we nil know that tne past summer. and in fact the entire year, waa a dull one. The w.ige-eurner wbo al ways found plenty of 'employment waa forced into idleness , but those wbo have homes have not been wasting their time 1" vain. When times were flush they always worked for good wages away from home, and done little or no improvement, in fact leaving that job for a ''rainy day." Itseema that the "rain) day" has oome, especially to this part of the country, and as a conse quence the ranchers are improving their homes by enlarging or constructing new buildings, clearing land, building fences, etc. One thing is the farmer must pay ids attention to a better method of farming. w hrd a farmer remark that one acre of wheat would fatten six grown hogs. That means that a laat vear shout would weigli two hundred pounds. Two hundred pounds at eight centa a pound is equal to$l.00 and that multiplied by six equals ItW.OO off of one acre of wheat, but of course your shoats rost vou something. Well , if you are the owner of a sow and have an sore of clover pasture with plenty of water, and some slop from vour house, we venture to say that vniir shoats did not coot you very muoh. This la what son: of our farmers ore be ginning to see. Hard times are beginning to make ns all open our eyes and crane our ceoks a little more to look for aomething beiter tMan lla'ring ourselves away working for w.ge. KAYGBR.
