known here, and a atop-son
Fronts, wbo baa been running a ah in
gleaaw in a mill at Castle Hock, Waah.,
ad bia right hand sawed off last Frl
day morning about 8 :80 o'clock. The
mill has been running day and nlgbt
for a long time and Mr. rotter was on
the night shift. He has been sawing
shingles for the company for several
years, which probably accounts in psrt
for the accident, because long service
at that kind or work ia so apt to cult!
ate a lack of caution. Mr. Potter has
a wife and four children. His friends
here where be Is well known regret
exoeedingly to hear of bis misfortune.
COMMIRSIOHSBS HOLD OVER In
the state circuit court held at Albany
this week Judge Hewitt decided that
the state board of railroad commis
sioners hold their office for another
two years, or nntil their successors are
ellocted and qualified. Tbia suit was
brought by J. B. Eddy, one of the
commissioners, to oompel Secretary of
8Ute Kincaid to issue warrant lor his
salary, the secretary holding that in'
ssmuch as the legislature failed to
elect their successors there was no
railroad commission In existence, and
mereiore reiusea to issue warrant tor
the salary of the board. The case will,
in all probability, go to the supreme
court lor a tluai deoiaion.

Any one who has ever had an attack
of inflammatory rheumatism will re
joice with Mr. J.A. Blumm, 220 Boyle
Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortu
nate escape from a siege of that dis
tressing ailment. Mr. Btumm is fore
man of Merriam's oQtifeotionery estab
lishment. Some months ago, on leav
ing the heated work room to run across
the street on sn errand, lie was caught
out in the rain. The result was that
when ready to go home that night he
was unable to walk, owing to inflam
matory rheumatism. He was taken
liome, and on arrival was placed be
fore a good fire and thoroughly nibbed
with Ohamborlain's Pain Balm. Dur
ing the evening and night he was re
jteatedly bathed with this liniment,
and by morning was relieved of all
rheumatic peine. He now takes great
Jileasure in praising Chamberlain's
'ain Balm, and always keeps a bottle
of it in the house. For sale by Dr.

might be wished, there are not many un
employed men about Clatekanie now, and
a more hopeful feeling prevails than for the
past two years. Money is not very plenti
ful, but we have learned to make a little go
further, and taking it altogether things
might be vastly worse than they are.
Pursuant to call a large number of our
citixens assembled in Conyers' hall laat
Saturday evening to discuss the matter of
railroad connection with the Nehalem val
ley, and such other matters aa may best
bring the rosouroea of this place and vicin
ity into prominence. Hon. Norman Mer
rill was called to preside, with R. 8. Hat
ton as secretary. Several leading citixens
gave their views, all agreeing that this
place was the most available point aa an
outlet for the valley of Nehalem, inasmuch
aa an eaay grade at less elevation than any
other known route oould be secured, by
following np the Clatskanie river. A pre
liminary survey was talked of in order
that these facta of low elevation and easy
grade might be established by figures to
the satisfaction of all parties Interested, and
this survey will probably be undertaken as
soon as the building of the Astoria-Goble
road ia under way. In the meantime it
was decided to organise a board of trade to
look after the interests of this locality, and
after such decision the names of twenty
six persoos were signed to a roll of mem
bership, and a committee of live persona
appointed to draft a constitution and rules
for the guidance of the board. An ad
journment waa then taken until Tuesday
evening of this week to hear the report of
the committee and elect officers. Another
committee was appointed to see others not
in attendance, for the purpose of securing
them as members. There waa a good deal
of enthusiasm manifested with determina
tion to work for the interests of Clatekanie
and let the world know that here is a place
fitted by nature to become one of the lanre
cities of the near future.
