CoNSIPKKARLY IK DKIIT The Com- mitttee which has been investigating the recoro of Duker county bava ar rived st the conclusion that the county is $270,000 in debt, although they have not finished their investigation, and the exact amount may exceed that sum. )uring all these year while (he debt wa accumulating, the ''books liave been open so that the people could go and see for themselves," but the peoplo didn't fro, and It is now a good deal like locking the stable door niter the horse I gooe.

Nf. Annual school biektino. ine an nual school meeting for district No. 2 eras held at the courthouse Monday stiirliL Mr. A. II. Blakesley, chairman of the board of directors, presided and, after stating the object for wiiioli the meeting was called Jacob George wa duly elected director for three year to succeed Mr. Blakesley, whoso term ex pired, and K. E. Quick clerk for one year. C. H. Newell, the retiring clerk, then tubmitted hi annual report which wa given to a pecial commit tee for examination, who, after care fully auditing the accounts, reported them correot The report showed a balance on band of 28.08. The meet ing then' adjourned. Bond Cabe ArpALi. Columbia county bas appealed to the supreme ourt from the decision of Judge 8hat tuck in its suit sgainst defaulting Sher iff O. A. Massie and his bondsmen, A. Barber, Joseph Oopeland, Max Berg, 8. A. Milee and James Dart, adminis trator of the estate of T. II. Taylor, de ceased. The deoision of the state cir cuit court was that the $3000 shortage of Massle was tax collections, and that the bondsmen sued were bondsmen on a general bond, to indemnify Colum bia county against unlawful act of Massie In bis general official conduct, And that the law requires a sieolal bond to cover tax collections, and Co lumbia oounty bad not exacted such a bond, and being tbu delinquent i out and injured. Bill Vitobd. Governor Lord has vetoed the bill allowing mileage to sheriffs. In hi veto message ha says : "I cannot approve house bill No. 14, authorising sheriffs to collect mileage in view ol the present state of the law. The salaries of these officer were in tended a compensation for their ser vice which they were required to per form, in lieu of fees and mileage. The objeol of the law was to abolish the foe system which includol nii'eage. By the present law it is proposed to give mileage to sheriffs in addition to their salaries, which wa intended to cover them. Thi i in conflict with the declared will of the people on th'.l aitbjeol. If the alarie for any reason were not sufficiently compensatory, they should be increased to an amount commensurate Wlth the duties or ser vices required to bo performed. In this way just compensation would be eecured these ofUcera and the evil of a return to the fee system avoided. Mileage, it is thought, furnishes a cover for the worst abuses of that sys tem.. Fur these reasons duty requires f to veto the bilh'' Tin Governor' Veto. The legis lature passed a bill for the relief of Miss Iva Tern pic ton, of Linn county, who sustained severe Injuries by full' ing through a bridge on a county toad two or three year ago. The governor hold that the act is unconstitutional Inasmuch as the county wherein the accident occurred is responsible, if anybody Is, and not the state. Suit was first brought In the circuit court of Linn county to recover damage to the amount of $20,000, and the court molded that through a technicality In the law at that lime the county was not liable, but that section of the law ha since been amended. The case was appealed to the supreme court which sustained the decision of the lower court. Senator Dawson then hud a bill passed by the legislature el lowing Miss Templnton the sum ol c (hwu to be paid by the state. The gov ernor't veto will probably put au end to the matter. ' ' St Tun Walk Finished, The lust plank In the walk between St. Helen and lioulton ha been laid. The walk ing is now good between the two cities and it is really a pleasure to lake a walk out to lioulton since the "last spike" ha been driven. The distance ha been shortened somewhat from the old way, and whether it will prove a direot benefit in a financial way or not, it will surely prove a great con venienoe to the people at either end of the route. To Mr. W. B. Dillard we believe I due the credit of inaugural' ing the scheme to build thi much ap preciated roadway, while to those who contributed money and labor I due the credit for executing the work. It fa urpriiug what can be done in the way of improvement if there i some one to take the initiative. There are a number of other necessary improve ments here awaiting someone to in augurate a plan of action, which we trust will be done in the near future. Assessor White Held Up. About 9 o'clock Sunday night aa Assessor M. White was on hi way out from In home near Quincy,' to Maygor, to take the night boat lor St. Helens, two foot- ads commanded him to throw up his lands, the highwaymen having taken their position on either aide of the road. Mr. White replied that it was not necessary for him to comply with their request a he had nothing they wanted. They then wanted to know who be was, and were informed it was none of their buaincss. The footpads saw he wa not the man they were looking for and laid they were only Sklng, Both men were strangers to r. White and it is believed they were laying in wait for some one to return who had gone over the road, but up to thi time we have heard of no rob bery being committed. Should Consolidate. It seems to us that the correct tbiug for the 8t. Helens and lioulton school district to do would be to consolidate and erect a good, substantial school build ing somewhere between the two places, where it would be convenient lor Do to cities. It is lamentable tbat the school interest in this vicinity are in such a state a at present, and we believe the consolidation of the two district, with a building suitable for a graded school would greatly increase the interest and material benefit to both the districts. There is little doubt but that some proposition of thi kind could be ac complished il the patrons of tho two school thould see tit to undertake it. Thieve at Work. Rocontly the butcher shop of Sweetland fc Shel don wa burglarised, mention of which wa made in these column. The butcher thought the burglarizing of thoir chop was the extent of their Toss, but last Tuesday when Mr. Sheldon had occasion to visit the upper story of their slaughter house he discovered that about $50 worth of hides which had been accumulating for tome time, were missing. It i thought the same parties who robbed the butcher shop also took the hide. House Burned. The residence of W. II. Kyser in Beaver valley was de stroyed by fire last Friday. Mr. Kyser was away from home at the time, and Mrs. Kyser bad left some kindling On the stove and while she stepped out of the house for a few moment il took fire, spreading rapidly and in a jiffy the building was all aflame. The fire consumed not only the building but it entire contents, so we are informed. Lawyer Pay Under Protest. The controversy continue between the lawyer and the sheriff as to whether the new law, which states that the fees paid for filing papers with the court clerks, is in lieu of all fees for such service previously paid to clerks aud sheriffs, say the Oregonian. The court will have to decide the question. The lawyers object to paying the fees to the shenU, aud all pay it under pro test. . ) v:OOBl1M NEWS, There wa a large attendance at the school meeting in district No, 37 last Monday, and the following changes were made in the board: Chris Ander son, whose time expired, was succeeded by .

A lively time i reported to have been the result of the dance and entertain ment given at Mooresville lust Satur day night. One attractive feature of the affair wa that everything wa ab solutely free. Mr. Borthwick ha the thanks of the community. Harvey Fowler is just about ready to commence work on bis store build ing, and expects to be ready for busi ness iu a short time. Frank Bishop went up to the oounty metropolis Wednesday, on buipoia, CliATMKAMK. Mis Khnes John Is visiting In in fam ily of Norman Merrill this week.

Z Bryant returned botne the first of the week after an absence of three months, In attendance upon an invalid daughter, in the Willamette valley. A literary and musical entertainment was held at the church last Kriday even ing which was well attended snd was lis tened to with plessure. A lunch In shap of an oyster stew, was served In the new parsonage, for tbs benefit of those wbo oared lj participate. George Wagner, from Mnyger, was over Friday after medicine to relieve the suffer ings of his friend, E. B. Cris, whose time on earth, be said, was short. We lesrned next day that Mr, C'riedled that tame after noon and was burled on Sunday near his former home. Tbs dsys of heroism sre not over entirely. Word comes to us tbat Rev. Overturf united Ferd Prabl and Mrs. Eldrldge in marriage Isst Sunday evening at the resi dence of Ed Page, In our city. Ferd hi a young man but bravely assumes ths cart of a family to win tbs love and companion ship of th woman of bis choice. May he live long and enjoy it. Tbs school meeting on Monday was not marked by any of ths expresaions of dis- satiafoction that might have been expected from hearing tbs talk of soms parties be forehand. There was a good attendance and th retiring school director, W. K Tlchenor, was re-elected on ths first ballot, It was the vindication of an action of the board that had been freely criticised by a few persons, and on such grounds Mr. Tichenor waa willing to remain in office. O. K. Higgf us wss elected clerk. A sprink ling of the gentler sex was present, snd voted wltb the rest. Tom Fllppin started out of town on Mon day morning, driving a team, wltb a boat on bis wagon, and John Myers sitting on the boat as ballast, while B. C. Frits, E. H. Lane and Jake on foot, accompanied th caravan, with C. A. Himpel following near, and C. H. Wheeler and Will Mvers on horseback to act as rear guards. The party wss beaded for Mbit, where they expect to as the boatto help theru down tbe Neb a- lem river to its mouth, where Messrs. Him pel Wheeler intend building a sawmill. being asalsted In the work by tb other gentlemen named. W are sorry to lose these gentlemen ss cltisens, but wish tbeui success. On Sunday evening, as per announce. nient, Rev. White gave bis reasons for tbs observsnc of the Christian Sabbath, as sgainst Saturday observance. Tbs church was well tilled, snd the Seventh Day Ad- vent missionaries not holding services that evening In order to be present with their followers. The reverend gentleman gave them cold comfort for 7th day observance, and for three quarters of on hour pleaded very eloquently for th Lord's dsy and its proper observance. It was a mssterly effort and seemed convincing, but did not con vince all, for "convince a man against bis will he's of the lame opinion still,'' and th arguing next day showed tbat all the lis tener were not on on side. Henry Kratz, assisted by Ous Llndberg, brought out of Krsts' store last Thursday box containing bag In which there were a number of small sacks of corn meal. He brought with hlm .slao two brooms, and finding Will Myers and Norman Merrill outside, gave saoh one a broom, s. tying he bad about a dusen mice In custody, and wanted them to kill the Bile as they tried to escape. Getting on the plank walk, with one man on each side of biro, having bis broom raised ready to bring down on ths first luckless mouss tbat tried to get away, Henry began very carefully to get his sscks out, as few spectators gathered. Soon ths bag was emptied, than carefully lifting it out of the box the mice were gone. But Henry knows the mice were there when he started. You can imagine who the laugh was on, by this time. Special School Tax. The five-mill peolal tchool tax voted in thi district some time ago will raise a revenue of about $400. This fall far short of oovcring the present indebtedness of the district, and by the time another year roll around the deficiency will be quite a lurge as at present. It ia a mistake to have o many month of school during the year when the dis trict i too poor to pay thoroughly competent teacher. The interest alone on our school indebtedness would more than pay the difference between the salary of a superior and inferior toacher. Hence it would be better by far to have fewer month of school, in charge of a thoroughly competent and successful teacher. Down the Nkhalem. Mr. I. W. Detriok of the Pittsburg Mill Com pany was iu the city Wednesday on hi return from the Lower Nebalem, where he had taken a raft of lumber.
