A kvviway uiau A report waa
ent to the Oregonian, dated at Uoble,
laat Friday, to the effect that Libby
Leraont, a young girl about 17 yean
ol age, living two milee weit of Qoble,
ran away Irom borne that morning
about 4 o'clock, with ber brother'
clothe on. The hat the wore waa
found floating in the Columbia river
the aame evening, but no trace of the
girl waa found, though her family
made dilligent March.
6bbkino Impormatiov. The county
clerk, recoived a loiter a few daya ago
from Hugh Htnith, of Battle Creek,
Iowa, enquiring about hie eon, Edwin
A. Smith, who ia auppoaod to have
taken up a homestead in the Nohalem
valley, near I'iiuburg, a year or two
ago. The son is 44 years old ; 5 feet
A inches high, and light complsxionnd.
Anyone having Information aa to his
wherabouU will confer a favor by ad
dressing Hugh Smith, Battle Creek,
Iowa.
Found a Floats. The remains of
an Iudian woman in a rough box, aays
the Cathlamet Oasette, was found by
some parties floating down the Co
lumbia last Friday. Quite a number
ot beads and Indian relica were also
in the box. It ia supposed that the
box had been buried on some point
along the Columbia which was subject
to the flood and bad been washed out
From the appearance of the body it
bad been in the ground for many
years.
Thirty Year im Oppici. B. W.
Wilson, the present clerk of Benton
county, retires from offloe on the 1st of
July after thirty yesrs as clork of that
county. He waa first elected lu 1864 j
and hss served continuously ever since.
We know of but two others whose of
ficial records compare in length with
Wilson. They are Joel Ware, ot Lane
oounty, who aerved aa clerk twenty
years, and a sheriff of San Jose oounty
Cat., who haa aerved about twenty
years. A democrat by the name of
Hunter aucoeeds Wilson.
Will Briso A Hwh Prior Hay
nd potatoes, undoubtedly, will be in
greater demand this fall than haa been
the case with such produots for many
years. Hundreds of tons ot tame hay
have been destroyed by the flood, and
hundreds of acres of land planted to
potatoes have auooumbed to the inev
itable. The potato orop in California
ia a total failure on account of drought,
and the farmer who has a large acre
age of potatoes whioh he can market
early ia Indeed fortunate, for that one
product is going to yield handsome
returns, for a tew months, at leaat.
Much Activity. The little town of
Goble is probably the livliest little
place along the Columbia. A force of
thirty-five operators and linemen are
tationed there by the Paciflo Poatal
Telegraph Co., for the purpose of
transferring messages from one side
of the river to the other, by means of
boat, as the cable was oarried away by
, the flood. The lines have to be taken
the very closest care of as the falling
water causes many changes in the
wire supporters, which are on floats.
Such a condition ot affairs is likely to
exist tor two or three months.

which greeted the eye of the St. He)

encouragement. Alter days, even
weeks of stagnation in buslness,brought
aooui oy nign water, me cittsens onoe
more began the week in a busy way.
Some were engaged in the work of
cleaning up the streets, others clean
ing away the debris of wrecked build
ings aud wharves, and getting their
property in ahape generally, while
the merchanta and business bouses
were showing signs of more activity
in trade than for weeks previous.
Since the water began to recede lona
drawn-out countenances are not so
numerous In these parts.
Labor 8a lmom. Fishermen at the
mouth ot the Columbia are reaping- a
harvest thia season. The neb are con
aiderable larger than have been knowo
for a number of yeara, and the run ia
excellent. Wheelmen and trapmen
are out and injured since the flood
carried away most of their gear, and
the result is that the gillnet fishermen
are the lucky fellows. A number of
fish have recently been caught whioh
eighed eighty pounds each, but al
though the run Is good and the nun
are large, the pack will be considerable
short of lust season s.
Thb Ticnio Groukd. Our at one
time pleasant little picnio (round pre
sents a rather delapidated appearance
owing to the fact that tbe recent cy
clone played aad havoo with the trees.
Limbs are scattered broadoast all over
the ground, the seats are down and
the entire premises present a very
sickly appearance. We offer the sug
gestion for a few of the citisena to aee
that the grounds are put in ahape,
since the picnio season is here, aa the
premises do not present a very credit
able appearance to strangers.
Htmoitro Thb 8horb. The captain
of the Northern Pacific transfer boat,
Tacoma, seems bent on completing the
wrecking ot wharvoa and building's
along the route from Kelso to Port
land. Tbe boat ia run close in shore
and tbe wavea are very destructive to
property. People who have property
in danger along the river should inter
view the individual who operates tbe
wheel on the big boat and impart a lit
tie advice to him.
Thb Glorious Fourth. The peo
ple ot Scappoose are making prepara
tions to celebrate the Fourth with
appropriate ceremonies and exercises.
Tbe day will be takeu up with various
features ol amusement. Mr. w. w.
West is preparing a raoecourse on the
east side of the county road, whioh will
be ready for use on that oooasion, and
in other matters aa well no paiua will
be spared to make the day enjoyble.
