Btrawbbrry Social. The ladiei of
St. Helena will give a strawberry social
at Musonio hall this (Friday) evening,
to which Is Invited the general public
The proceeds will be used to buy Bun
day school literature, song books, etc.,
and repairing and cleaning the church
organ. 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.

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.

rOPUIilBTB DISAGREE.
- ' - VxaitoiHA. 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.
