There Is no wonder that Commit aioner Uarnes wore such a broad and plenum t smile when ho stepped off the steamer Lurllne here on Wednesday afternoon. On Kalurday afternoon lat there arrived at hi house another asjilriint to the olllce of county com nusoloner. The new arrival weighs about llfieen pounds, and after he has been given a little lime to enable him to coiupreheii l some of the peculiari ties of this climute, he will he an able assistant in the discharge of his fath er's duties. Considerable pilfering has been so- log on in Kahuna, says the Bulletin. One man hud a hum stolen and the editor of the Bulletin had a 11.25 .um brella stolen from the church vestibule. And yet ihe writer suid that a man who would steal so cheap an umbrella hnilly needs reforming. We would add that the reformation should extend to the newspaper man who by some means afforded a 1.25 umbrella, and more ei(iially to a newspaper man who would be so foolish na to attend church. , Road aurvey No. 25 from the bririre acroae the Nehalem river east ot Ver- noniri, running easterly and connect ing with the tit. Helens and Pittsburg county road at or near Cow Camp,was made last week under the direction of Messrs. Criaaie, Webaler, and David son. The length of the road ia a utile over nine miles. The viewers reiKirt a practicable grade, and also say the road can be oiieued at n reasonable expense, much of the work of opening having already been done. The reduced freight rates on apples from either Oregon or Washinton, as far east as Chicago, now enables our fruit raiders to dispose of their prod ucts. The fruit can now be shipped to Chicago at the rale of one dollai per one hundred pounds, in carload lots. This rale will probably enable all the apples of the two stales thut are worthy of shipment, to reach a paying market this year on account of the high price of apples in the east. The grain fleet this year ia n large one, and the amount of grain exported is surely lure in accordance with the size of the fleet. Tho past two or three weeks has proved a grand oppor tunity for towing heavily-l.iden ves sels up and down the Columbia, since the water has ben so high. A num ber of large vessel have passed this place, running olose to this shore, giv ing our people a splendid opportunity of viewing litem. Among the many things mentioned hv one of onr exchanges which we Sheriff Watta has made his appoint ment of deputy in the person of Chas. Doan, of Rainier, and it is one which meets with universal approval. Mr. Donn aerved faithfully and efllciently in the olllce of assessor of this county four years ago, since when he has de voted his time to general business pur suits and has proved h successful busi ness man in every sense. With T. C. Watls, master of ceremonies, end Charley a iiis able assistant, the oillee of sheriff in this county is filled with' two thoroughly competent men." C. Stump and Jerry While, of Scap- noose, appeared before Justice Blakes toy Tuesday to answer to charge of tresspassing preferred by E. Ollen dorff, who took exception to the ac tion of the defendants in hunting deer upon hie premises. Mr. Stump pleaded guiliv and was given the low est fine of $15 for such offenses. The charge against young White wa taken under advisement and n decision will be given next Tuesday. Charges are also pending against three other parties for trespasatng upon the premises oi Mr. Oldendorf at the same time, and they will be arraigned a soon as they can be arrested. There is a man living In the vicinity of Rainier who is meaner than the mm who used a wart oil the back of his neck to av the expense of buy ing a collar button. His political views differ Irom tloe of Th Mist. hence he ordered hi paper stopped. This was not done recently but several months ago This same man reads The Miht just the same every week, mi he docs not pay lor it lie uenoer tely steals it from one of our best sub scribers. He knows he must have Tub Mist to keep posted, but he has not the manhood to send along a uoi lar and half and receive the paper at his own address. He may think we m't know who he ia but we do. Fire tetallv destroyed the residence property known a the Butts property, at Columbia City on I uesctay evening. Shortly afior 10 o'clock the building waa discovered to he burning arouuo the fireplace and before assistance ar rived the file had gained sucu tieau- way that it was impossible to do any ihimr in the way of saving tire build nr. so t lie parties present turueti heir attention to saving the contents which consisted of about two dollars' worth of old bed clothes.

Until recently Stoams has been a traveling solicitor for the Salem company, nnd it was for alleged crookedness in that-capacity that he was indicted by the lato grand jury on complaint of ihc insurance company. No specilio allegation are maaein ine indictment, but it is uiul rstood that mo of tho counts upon which he was indicted was for receiving premiums in property which burned in the late fire at Houlton, and failing to account to the insurance company for the money.
