DiROuaa Cohbol.idatioii.--AI the re
"" queit of a number of intereated oltl
"' seni we wiah to anaounoe that a meet
ing will be held In the oourthoute on
. nest Monday evening at 8 o'olook for
the purpoee of discussing the question
of consolidating the St. Helena and
Houlton achool diitrioti. All peraoni
intereated in school mattera are re
quested to be preeent, aa the question
it one of great importance.
The PiorLa Maei the Tows.
Live people make a live town. There
are tuob people in theoitiee of Bainier
and Cllatakaole, and butineae activity
in those places It the result. An am
fcltion to eioel it the principal thing
thatbuilda large cities. We do not
auppoee either Bainier or Clatskanie
will reaob the several thousand mark
right away, but they bear evidence of
substantial growth, backed up by pro
gressive people. .
Found a Floateb. On Thursday of
last week a man wat found lodged
against the Jetty on the opposite aide
of the river. Tha ooroner of Cowliti
county was notified, who made an ex
amination, and took the remains to
Xalama where they were buried. It ia
thought the body had been in the
water for months, owing to ill awful
atate of decomposition. There was
nothing by whioh to establish the iden
tity of the body.
-j Naw Watib Plaet The oily coun-
ell at itt meeting Monday night passed
a resolution aoDropriatinc MUU Irom
the city treasury to be applied on the
new water plant whion is now undef
consideration by Orchard k Jones. It
is estimated tbat the workt proposed
by these gentlemen will cost about
91500, and tbey asked the city for a
bonus as above stated. The water will
be brought from Wikstrom't place into
the city, and it it intended to begin
work on the new system at once.
That Expumiom. The blowing up
of the old steamer 8. G. Beed, which
was to have taken place somewhere in
the Columbia river last Sunday night
did not take plaoe, and tn consequence
there were tome very much disap
pointed people in this place. The
steamer Young America left here
about 5 o'clock with a party to witnese
the event, and proceeded ss far up the
river as St, Johns, but seeing no signs
of the object of their trip, returned to
this city, and next day It was hard to
flud any one who went on the wild
I goose chaae by moonlight.
They Mean Bubiskss. Tbo resi
dents aloug the line of the proposed
rosd between Wood's Landing and No
lialero, whioh baa been ordered opened
by the county court, have subscribed
4768 In money and labor to make that
route a public highway, work on the
second Mon Jay in June. It is esti
mated that 11,000 will complete the
road ready for travel. Most of the
aubsoribers have agreed to pay 1 50
aoh and are ready, so we are iniorm
tid. to make sood tha amount aet op
posite their signatures. This is the
kind of road building that tuooeeas.
Gomvioted or Cokbpiracy. Ex-
Collector James Lotan and Seid Back
were tried in Portland last week for a
third time charged with conspiracy to
smuggle Chinese Into the united
Btalea. On the two former trials the
jury could not agree, but this time,
after being out several hours, they re
turned a verdiot of guilty aa charged
in the indiotment. A motion will now
he argued for a new trial on exceptions.
The defendants are both rich men,
and no money or effort will be spared
to establish their innocence. The
penalty for the orima for which tbey
liave been oonvioted ia two years in
prison and a fine of (10,000.
Ik Trouble Aa aim .The same gang
of tongba who were arrested here three
-weeks ago for selling liquor to minors
on a whisky scow, of whom two women
were convicted of immoral oonduot,
have since been in the tout at Oath
lamet. Thia time Flannegan and one
of the women were the complainants,
oharging that tha proprietor of the
cow soid liquor without a license.
The jury onuld not asree. aa tha Ques
tion of jurisdiction wat raised, the
jicow at the time being situated ai the
lower end of Wallace island, in the
Columbia river. The question of juris
diction will now be submitted to Judge
Langhorne, of the Washington su
perior court. .
Dokatios Laud Claims' .--The
matter of perfecting title to donation
land claims Jn Oregon, Washington,
And Idaho, under the aot of September
27. 18&0. cannot be delayed much
longer. Last July congress passed an
aot limiting the time for oomplotionof
title to such lands bv reauiring that
final proofi be made before January 1,
1898. The final proofs may be made
by the original settler; by those claim
ing rights by .reason of descent, devise.
junioitti sale, grant or eonveyanoa In
(rood faith from the oriainal claimant.
if the claim to 20 years' adverse pos
session can bs established, or by a
liomesteador, in caao no proof is sub
mitted by either of the first two classes
named who was upon the land in good
faith before January i, ISH. The
homesteader, however, can obtain tho
right only to purchase from the gov
ernment lou acres at 11:40 an acre.

Ha Was Cowhidbd.- A young man
reoently arrived in Oregon City from
Hillsboro or vioinity, and soon began
clandustlnely to pay particular atten
tion to a little 12-year-old girl, living
iu the southern part of the city, says
the Oregon City Enterprise. After
repeated efforts to get her to meet him
at some appointed place after dark, be
suoceeded in getting a note to the girl
to meet him on the Canamah sidewalk
at id o'clock p. m. The girl exhibited
the note to her mother, who concluded
she would fill the desired appointment
with the frisky young man personally,
accompanied by her daughter-in law.
She met the .writer of the note on the
Canemah sidewalk, above where the
falls of the Willamette glisten in the
eleotrio light, and proceeded to give
the amorous iothario such a cowbiding
that he fairly yelled with pain. Our
