Improvino tub Stiibets. -Street im
provement are being vigorously exe
cuted in our city, euieoially on Strand
treot, along block eleven, where there
ha been a force of mon at work all
the week grading the street, being
nocessary on account of the sidewalk
which was recently built, and which
occupies all tbe level space. Tbe city
father neeui pervaded with a spirit ol
Improvement, since there ha, been
more of that kind ol work done in
this place this sprlupr than baa char
acterized the city under any former
administration. There i one certain
fact, and that i thero bun nothing
been done which wu not really neo-
enKury, and which will not add mater-
ally to tbe benclllt ol tlio population,
as a body.
RBPimi.tcAH Primary. Notwith
standing the fact that the weather was
Inclement, there wu a proportionately
lurg crowd of enthusiuslio republi
cans gathered in this place Wednes
day, pursuant to a cull for a county
republican primary, and iho aweni
blugn gathered at the courthouse and
proceeded to elect the following-named
person delegate to the county con
vention which will meet next Wednes
day. The vole resulted in the election
of II. It. ClifT, W. J. Rise, C. W. Hlukos
ley, M. F. If asen, and M. Saxon, who
will cast their ballot for the nominees
for county officers on the republican
ticket.
No Raw on Eahtbk If there is
any truth in the saying that "If it doe
not rain on EaMer Sunday there are
iimiiw izood reasons to believe that
spring has come, and thai the uc
ceeding six week will be plojsunt."
wo may look for omo spring weather,
uot the style, however, that we have
endured for seven month past, when
it is evidont that something touched
the "spring" and neglected to let it up
again. An early Easter is pretty good
evidence of an early spring, and a it
failed to rain on that day, we can live
in hope, even if we do die in dispair.

commodiously located, and when once
the gentlemen are settled there they
will have an attractive business place.
Thk Third Saloon. Thos. Cooper,
the veteran saloon-keeper, well known
in Columbia county, bus received hi
stock of liquors, and opened hi new
saloon in this pluno. Tom has an at
tractive piece, and thrnuah his genial
habit and extreme generosity will, no
doubt, become a popular again,- a a
caterer to I he public' demands, as he
formerly was. He will serve from over
his bar, the celebrated Weinhurd beer.
He will be pleased to receivo his old
friends, and will endeavor to treat
them courteously.
To Republican Clubs. Perhaps no
better way of ascertaining the senti
ment of the people, -f Columbia county
regarding candidates for tbe several
oilices, to be nominated next Wednes
day, could be devised than' for the
club lo take an informal vote in your
several meeting, and thereby enable
the delegates from the different pre
cincts to act in accordance wilh the
wishes of the people when they assem
ble in convention. This, no doubt,
would be a very effective way of bring
ing out the full feeling of the people,
and enable the convention to harmon
ize on candidate. There is little time
for this action, and we urge that there
be immediate action taken regarding
the matter.
Suhb to bb Damnrd. The presi
dent may intend to veto the seignior
age bill, but it is evident ho is iu no
hurry lo gel at it. We aro of tbe opin
ion that be will veto the bill. Yet he
hesitates for very good reasons. He
may be likened to sn executive whose
ollloial duly requires him to sign a
death-warrant, or to a sheriff upon
whom the law devolves the disagree
able task of springing the trap that
hnrls a soul into eternity. It i a very
(olenin piece of business that Mr.
Cleveland ha in hand, and is fraught
will) result that will affect American
politic long after he has passed from
the stage of action. He is about to
become the executioner of the party
which has twice honored him with the
presidency. It is a very serious mai
ler to destroy such a party a that,
and particularly under uch circum
stances. It is no wonder the presi
dent hesitates nnd postpones action
until the Inst hour. Yet he realizes
that if he does not veto the bill he will
belie all of his past professions and
will be a traitor to tbe gold power
which bought his nomination. It is a
sad plight for a president to be in, but
ho is there and will have to make the
most of it. He is in Ihe position de
scribed by the poet: "He will be
damned if" he does, and be damned if
he doesn't." There is condemnation
awitiiiiig him whether he sign or ve
loo the bill.
Showing; Their Fbblino. Never
beforo in the history of Columbia
county politics bus there been such a
fenlimr cxistinK as there is at the pres-
nt lime. Every republican in tbe
county is inspired with a feeling of ac-
t on which indicate tnai iney are ue-
inrmined to succeed in the present
campaign, a more striking illustration
of the fact could not have been drawn
ilion in linvn witnessed tho enthusiasm
which nrevailed. and tbe number of
vole cast, at the primary in this pro
cinct. The same can be said oi every
nracinot in the county, as is demon
strated by the large enrollment of the
republican clubs throughout the whole
rniiniv. At Gillton. where the 'popu
list claim to have naa iuu sway, more
. , , li: . ..1..K nf
is a nounsning repuonn '
thirty-six members ; at Apiary there is
... . ...I.!. ikiHltf nna
a repuuncan ciuu wnu iuj"
members, the entire vote ot tne pre
cinct being forty-two ; at Delena the
ilnh has a lame enrollment, and tbe
Vernonia. Mist, Clatskanie, nainier,
and nil other renubhoan clubs have
large membership, while the Honlton
club has a membership of twenty-tour.
Every needle of the indicator points to
the success oi tne repuoucan puny m
June. People are awake to tneir in
terests, and with that object in view
the republicans of Columbia county
Hninrmined to work until they
plant upon tbe uppermost pinacle,
their banner, thusly inscribed, "ViO'
tory." .
THE ASTORIA RAILROAD.
John Halo, tho Capitalist, SpeaKs or
the littte.
"Although I have not heard of any
nrniflGt that appeared to me like a bus
iness proposition looking to the con
struction Of the lortianu-asiorm rail
road," says John Halo, Iho well known
contractor and capitalist, "still 1 am
. nrpnnmd to assert that ihe road
not ha built. Although this is
day of canal building when such pro
jects as tbe Manchester canal, some
tiuriy miies m - -- -r-
1 nf lifi.v millions of dollars, ii
nwuknn still there are a large
number of people who believe that the
i.nnrn of anv eit.v is dependent abso
lutely upon a railroad. The litherage
on freinht may be but twenty-five
tut .nn hv river much loss than
it can be profitably handled for by
rail hut yet people oan be found who
iii an. that a railroad to the mouth
of the Columbia would cut an impor
.t fionra in the exDort trade. I do
sr.iilv understand how tho Ua
mn Vnmflo can be expected to build to
else Under !
existing circumstance. Of course cer
tain olliuiuls of the road may and
piobubly would exert considerable In
iluence with the company to obtain
favorable tralllc conlracte for a new
road. This in itself might be con
sidered capital towards building. Il
illicit lie lulHcient to secure the sub
sidy to the officials, and induco con
tractors to assume the building of the
road. I doubt, however, if there are
contractors here who will undertake
to build a road again until they know
w here the money is coming from. And
when the money is on hand lo build a
road, then why should we not have a
public competition und all have a
cliunce to bid and not 4 private let
ling. 1 understand tljere are New
York parties who, it issaidjiave looked
over the field and havei expressed a
willingness lo advance money il given
all the subsidy. But thcije is the stitch
again, as when two or three purtie
are interested in such a! project, they
gonerully propose to divide the sub
tidies. At iiny rate I should like to
see the road built. Not that I think
it would pay, but il would furnish em
ployment, nnd help lo haprovo condi
tions, at least for a timeJn Ibis local
ity. Besides it would open up some
new country in which tli-re is consid
erable timber and no doubt minerals,
and Home of which, perljnps, may be
used lor farming." i
Beware of South Africa.
The following is an extract from a
private letter published in the Post
Intelligencer of Seattle, from which it
appears that South Africa is not quite
what has been generally supposed :
Johannesburg, South Africa, Janu
ary 22, 18!)4. I write you a few lines
to let you know that I am still alive.
I am foreman In a mine. : My nay is
75 per month; board fz-ri a moHlh
without bed. This is no country lor a
while man. Negroes do all the ham
mer and drill work. Their pay is 62
cents per day. There are 50,000 of
them working within thirty square
mile of here. There are 1,500 stamp
mills in one line of fifty miles. Each
mill has from ten to a hundred stamps.
The rock is low , grade assaying from
$3 to $15 per ton. It ia eulphurets,
and requires the McArdle process.
The ledges have been prospected by
diamond drills 2,000 feet down. . This
is a piairie country. The soil is red
Baud and very poor. It will not pro
duce without water. The Dutch Boer
are a lazy, ignorant people. There art
between 70,000 and 80,000 of them in
the Transvaal republic. The negroes
are worth nothing here. You can buy

I can earn money enough to getaway.
There are a great many American

has swept over the vast country, not
unlike a Kansas cyclone, bringing

home on account of no employment.
It has been the pleasure of your hum
ble servant lo meet many old-time
democrats of late who do not hesitate
to pluce the responsibility where it be
longs, and who are outspoken in their
intention lo vote ihe republican ticket,
believing, now, by . so doing, we will
ugain return to prosperity. As to
whether this i a true theory or noi,
let history speak for itself. One good,
honest democrat within our acquain
tance, two years ogo was very severe
in his denunciation of the republican
party and its principles of protection ;
indeed, so much so lhat be could not
lie induced to attend republican speak
ing at all, and was oveijoyeJ at Cleve
land's success. But alas! how things
have changed, lns'eud of the great
prosperity he foresaw, he has since
been out of employment. He now is
a solid republican, and says he is sorry
his oldest boy, who was named Cleve

instead. .
Mrs. J. A. Atkins hns been troubled

We have seen the populist ticket,

to see him elected a he will make a
good thing out of burying his party

Some miscreant cut and took away
about three hundred feet of tho wire
cable belonging to the Mayger com
pany's logging outfit, and they offer a
reward ol fifty dollars for the appre

We hope to see him caught and pun
ished, as it will give others a good
lesson..
Our republican club at this place is
in a prospering condition, having a
memWfhtp of twenty, and if We don't
"get there" this time it will not be our
fault, for we intend to work day and

in union if we expect to accomplish
our ends, and that is what we will do.
I am a republican and hope to seo all
