Tha ladies have decided to serve a dish of strawberries and cream with cake for tha astonishingly small auni of 15 cants. Y, M. I. Excurhion. Word was re ceived here on Tuesday of this week that the Young Men's Institute, of Portland, will give an exouralon on the Fourth of July, coming to this place, bringing with them about 1200 people. This same society, it will be remembers!, brought an excursion liere two years ago, and despite the very unfavorable weather, they were so impressed with the surroundings that they intend coming again. ToFmcsthb Track. The North ern Pacific Railroad company are pre paring to fence their track between Portland and Taconia. The company have contracted along the line for cedar post upon which to hang wire. These posts are to face six inches on each of three sides. A Qillton firm lias the contract to furnish 14,000 posts of which they have about 6000 ready for shipment. The contractors pay 13 per thousand for the posts in the woods. Gravity Watbr, Surb. We havi J Mia ef Was f uform been informed by Mr. Jones, of the ckry water works system, that the righJFof way for the gravity system ha all been sooured, and that the work of excavating and laying the pipe has begun. Mr. Jones further stated that throe tons of pipe came down from Portland Tuesday evening, and the shipments of pipe will continue just as fast as it can be laid. It will take probably, about six weeks to complete the work, when St. Helens will be sup plied with pure mountain water. Only Mioht Boats Run. Astorian : The Columbia River and Puget Bound - Navigation Company are going to abandon the day boat from Portland, and instead will put on an extra boat, and run a night boat each way from Astoria and Portland, laying over dur ing the day in each of the above places. The Telephone, now on the ways In Portland will be completed in about three weeks, and will go on the night run, leaving Portland simultaneously with the Gattert from this oity. There is not much money in day boats now, as people travel mostly by night, and froight can just aa well be carried on the night boat as on the day. As aoou as the railroad is completed it is probable night boat will bo about tha only ones run in the passenger traffic Will Cblburati. The celebration of the Glorious Fourth at this place is an assured thing. The citiiens have expressed their willingness to stand to the front and assist in every possiDie wsy to make the celebration a auccess. The city council very generously ap propriated the money with which to employ a good braas band for the day, and with that muon expense removed from the citisens it will be an easy matter to procure sufficient means with which to celebrate in befittini style. There ia a general committee at work who is arranging every possi ble thing to make the atiuir a grand one, and with I20 or 1500 people from Portland there will be crowd enough to make a rousing demonstration. An iuvitation Is extended to every oitixen ol Columbia county to come and spend the day with us. Repairing thb Coorthoiisb. Sher iff Doan, in accordance with an order ofoourt, is having Messrs. Clark A Urie give the courthouse an overhaul' ing, bracing up the weak places, straightening and strengthening the aills, laying a new floor in the court room and in lh clerk's office, placing a railing across the portion of the courtroom so that the court officers, jury, attorney, etc, will have oppor tunity to work without being mixed in with the lookers on, and otherwise thoroughly renovating the building. The improvements now under way have been badly needed these many years, and when Sheriff Doan has car ried out his ideas in regard to the im provements the building will present a decidedly different Inward appear ance and be more convenient. Consolidation Mkktino. Pursu ant to a call made in these columns last week for a meeting of the citizens of St. Helens where the question of the consolidation of the Houlton and Bt Helena school districts might be discussed, there was a large number of gentlemen met in Masonio ball Mon day evening and proceeded with the ' buaines. The sentiment in favor of consolidation waa general, and after some diioussion a committee of seven, Including the entire school board of this district, was appointed, to meet and confer with the direotora and citi zens of Houlton district in regard to the matter, with instruction to take immediate action in arranging for a goneral mass meeting of the citi sens of both districts, to be held at Houlton, at a date convenient for the Houlton people. Claim DisallowKD. The Clacka mas county court ha refused to allow the claim of the state of Oregou for interest on state taxes not sent until after the time named in the statute for payment. State Treasurer Metschan presented a claim of 1241.03 for inter est on the deferred payment in 1893, and 983.70 for 1804. The Oregon City Enterprise aya that the oounty court claims that since the statute fixing the date when the counties shall pay their state tax was passed other laws have been enacted rendering it well-nigh impossible to comply with the first law. Among the last named Is the law requiring the state equalization board to equalize the assessment at so lute a date as to greatly retard the de livery of the tax roll to the sheriff; and the law making oity, road and school taxes payable to the sheriff, sod giving school district until a luto date to make their levies, which must be com puted throughout the roll before the sheriff can begin receiving taxea. The court takes the ground that the coun ty is not responsible for the delay caused by acts of the state itself, and that it is under no obligation to pay Interest, and will not do so. Bio Wheat Crop. Every prospect Is as favorable as possible at present fora magniOcentcrop of grain through out the Northwest. Let a few hours' rain fall at the proper time, and let thore be an absence of the hot wind which occasionally .blights crops in some sections, and the Northwest will produce as much wheat as last year, although the acreage of the Inland Empire is only 90 per cent of what it was last year. There is a slightly in creased acreage in the Willamette val ley, and in any event old Willamette can always be depended upon to pro duce the regular quota. A prominent shipper says that farmers in the Will amette are not much longer going to receive several cents a bushel for their wheat more than the Walla Walla farmers do for theirs. The reason the valley wheat haa alwavs brought more than the Walla Walla ia because it makes whiter flour, but the roller pro cess and other causes are combining to bring about less demand for the valley wheat, and in a few years it will bring no mure than Walla Walla. At thb Cascade Looks. Lieuten ant Taylor, U. 8. engineers, who is in charge of the work on the canal and locks at the Cascades, was in Portland Monday. He says the water ia falling at the Cascades, and the work ot pump ing out the lockpit will soon be re- umed. The guard gates now in po sition in the canal have undergone a very severe test, probably a more se vere one than they will ever be called upon to experience again. Not only were they shut sgainst the incoming flood, with a totally empty canal be hind them, but a bulkhead waa built on top of them, which practically in creaxed their height three feet, and added 20 per oent to the strain upon them. Over thia bulkhead the water poured to a depth of two feet. As the water is now falling, It will be necessary to pump out the lockpit, for if the water get lower on the outside than on the inside, the galea would open and the deuoe would be to pay. There are only some stoneoutters at work at present, but it will not be long until the whole force is at work agaiu. Thb Wbst Sidb Extbnbiok. Cor vallis Times: The Southern Pacifio railroad company may yet have to build an extension of the west side or flive up ils right-of-way. A Corvullia aw firm has been consulted by farm era through whose farms the company holds deeds for right-of-way with ref erence to the legal points involved in ease suit be brought to compel the railroad company to give up the right of way donated or sold to it for small consideration, some eleven years ago. Tbe lawyers have not yet prepared an opinion, but it ia understood that they regard the farmers' chances for fore ing the company to give up the right- of-way as very favorable. Country Greatly Improved. Per haps no part of Columbia oounty or (tie state oi uregon hss improved more in the past few years than in the vi cinity of Gillton. Where a few years ago there waa one dense forest is now splendid little farms. Where ten years ago one could not see one hundred yards into the woods, it is now possible to see from one bouse to another, in' deed in aoine places the resemblance ia very much like unto a little village. Tbe people of Gillton and vicinity have made good progress in the way of improvements during tbe paat few years. Celebration Committers.

There is no danger from this disease when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given. It liquifies the tough mucus and aids its expectoration. It also lessens the severity and frequency of paroxysms of coughing, snd insures a speedy recovery. There is not the least danger in giving the remedy to children or babiea, as it contains no injurious substance. For sale by Dr. Edwin Rues, druggist. I'EHHONAli AND QJSNBItAL, W, A.

June 4, 1805. Editors Mist: I would respectfully ask for a little space in your valuHblo paper. The matter to which I desire to call the attention of your readers is In regard to road supervisors assessing tuxes on a man for road work which the law does not seem to boar thorn out In, notwithstanding the opinion of the learned commissioner from our end of lbs county. In the ease of Jo aeph Heed supervisor road district Mo. IS, v. W. A. Harris, a few are of the opinion that Justice VaiiLlyke erred in his decision in the ense when he decided that a super visor had no authority to levy an additional tax for road purposes. Now it is not my purpose In writlnirihls todefend the Justice, for I think he con do that for himself; but 1 would like to aee this taxing fettled one way or another. But let ua look at the law anil ee if the supervisor can work a man blind on tha road, to lie can get in a lare bill '-when county court meet." 1 will quote from the session laws of 181)3, al though our commissioner aay they are "N.O." (HenateBill No. 61.) An act to amend Section 4UV) of Title 1, Chapter 78 of the miscellaneous laws of Oregon, as com plied and annotated by W. Lair Hill, etc.: Heittlon I of that act provides that a su pervisor shall apportion the labor to be performed in bis road district to the valua tion of taxable property owned therein, the ratio of one days' work for each and every 11000 assessed for state and county pur poses the last preceding year, etc. Section 2 provides that he shall assess two days' work to be performed by every male be tween the saes of 21 and 60 yeara. This ia the first assessment, and this section says nothing about asy moke assessments. Hut let ua look a little further. Hectlon 4 sas: 'Provided, that in any county of this state the county court of such county, at the time of levying taxes for county purposes may, if in the judgment of thecounty court it ia for the best interests of tha county, levy a tax upon all tha taxable property In tbe county, not to exceed 6 mills upon the dollar, and in addition thereto a poll tax of 12 be assessed upon every person who shall be liable to pay a state poll tax. which taxes shall be collected with and at the same time and in the same manner aa county taxes aball be collected, and shall be paid into tbe county treasury, and shall be lceiit aa a separate fund to be known as a road fund, and shall be used for the purpose of laying out. opening, making, and repairiugcounty roads, and building and repairing county bridges; and no other tax or other taxea for the purpose In thia section mentioned shall be levied orcolltcted, except that the county court may order bridges built or repaired out of (he general fund." What -more ia wanted to show that the supervisor cannot levy but the out tax aa provided in Section 1 of this act. If any more tnxes are levied for road work (layioaout, opening, making and re pairing county ronds.) tbe county court is tbe authority to doit. Mr. Behoonover says In a note to tbe jus tice three days after the trial referred to: " Paxe 1735, Section 4092. shows that it is the duty of the road supervisor to make aa many assessment aa ia necessary to open tha roads in Ilia district." Bo I let US see: .fn the first place I believe that courts hold that when a subsequent law ia passed on a subject and the Drat law covering tbe aame point is not repealed, the latter law baa the preierence; out De maisa iioiay, muwium, wbicb I presume be refers to, saya: "Then he ahall have authority to assess and call out aucb an amount of labor as will be suf ficient to put tbe publlo roads in bis dis trict in good repair." How much bis su pervisors get for seeing no more of the law than that, I can't say. but that same sec tion (4092) says: "And if tbe labor in bis district assessed aa provided in Section 4065 ia not sufficient, then he aball have author ity to aaseae and call out such ao amount of labor as will be sufficient to put the pub lic roads in his district in good repair; rao vidbd, (ab, provided) that said assessment shall be made aa near as possible upon the basis of assessment in Section 4085.'' There vou have it. Mr. Schoonover. Section 4085 In the code baa been repealed, and tbe law we quoted at first, enacted in Its atead ; be inr a latar law coverino' the aame Doint. although our cronies say it is no good, and Is not the law, etc. But I will close by ask ing our county commissioner one question : "How much monev will tbe decision knock out of his and his 'pets' poeketa?" The first thing our county court ought to do ia to make a rule that all supervisors must pay the coats when they sue a man for the secouu, intra, lortietn or one-inousumua assessment Cmzia.
