Persons who com to settle in Ore-
ftra should never luctte permanently
Without seeing this pari of Columbia
county. It is free from malaria, the
sou is good lor all purposes, it is well
watered, it is food for hout and fruits,
large end small, good school and good
sooiety. If you are looking for a home
don I forget Columbia county.
Envy I What is it? It is the evil na
ure 01 man mat worcetn gona to no
one, but causes many to suffer; it ii
the yearning of nature for a better
place than has been allotted as his
share of this world's goods; a louging
to overpower some man and nut him
self in the seat that rightly belongs to
another, it is in fact tbe devil work
Ing in tbe heart Of him who is not
strong enough to withstand the temp
ution to do evil in Ins sneaking way.
It is the one great fault so often
fonnd lurking Just under the hide of so
many seemingly good men.
The lumber business is again look
ing up, much to the gratiUcation of
those engaged in that busmen as well
as to tbe people at large.- Logs have
advanced 5 cents per thousand on
the sound, which is a good indication
Tbe advance in price ia accompanied
by a brink demand, something that
has been anticipated with a great deal
of anxiety for many months. There
seems to be a feeling of more confi
dence among loggers and lumbermen
than for a long time. While it may
be said that money has not begun to
circulate freely, there is a general feel
ing that tbe worst times are over, and
trad will improve henceforth, a con
dition which will be very acceptable
at any time it may come.
Ex-Senator Dolph takes issue with
the supreme court ol this state on its
affirming tbe decision of the lower
court in an appeal case. Mr. Dolph
very severely criticises the supreme
court, indeed speaks in very nncom
plimentary terms of the decision of
that august tribunal of justice, and
calls into question the motives which
inspired the court to render such a de
cision. Tbe ex-senator, as usual, play
ing the role of "the great I am," heaps
abuse upon the court in a manner un
becoming a gentleman in Mr. Dolph's
position. Just how long tbs supreme
court will permit itself to be slandered
by the ex-senator is a question being
closely watched by all loyal citisens.
We believe that in any other state of
tbe Union were a man to apply iwh
terms to the sapreme court as Mr.
' Dolph has in this case be would be
immediately summoned to answer for
eon tem pt.
The United States district court has
reversed tbe decision of the circuit
court for Clatsop county in tbe con
current jurisdiction case, and holds
that where the laws of Oreeon and
Washington conflict, either has juris
diction to tbe middle of the river, but
where the laws do not conflict each
state has jurisdiction to tbe opposite
snore. Tbe question that will bereaf
ter oocnpy tbe time ot the courts will
be in determining just where the cen
ter of the river is. If Judge Belline
ers interpretation of the law is correct
there is more urgent need than ever
of Oregon and Washington enacting
uniform laws governing traffic on the
Columbia river. Otherwise tbe courts
of both states will, in future, be bur
aenea wun nonsensical litigation in
settling disputes and punishing viola
tions of the laws of tbe two states bor
dering on the Columbia. The two
states ought each to have jurisdiction
to tbe opposite bank, without which
oar laws mar be violated with impunity.
Tbs county assessor in his endeavor
to straighten ont the entanglements
of former assessments id Columbia
county, is having no end of trouble.
Inieed it is slmost like making a com
plete abstract of the property. As
sessor White has already found and
assessed a great deal of property that
never has been assessed before. One
day this week it was discovered that a
hundred lots in Columbia City escaped
taxation heretofore, and tracts of land
in many parts of tbe county have been
uncovered by Mr. White and will in
future be subject to taxation. In a
great many instances it is found that
property has been assessed to other
parties thsa the real owners, and there
are any number of double assessments.
By thorough investigstion it is also
discovered that many persons have
failed to give in their entire real estate
and therefore it cannot be found on
the roll of former years. But tbe as
sessor and his deputy say they are de
termined to straighten ont these en
tanglements and see to it that an hon
est assessment is had. When the
county board of equalization meets on
tbe 26lh of August no doubt there will
be many persons present to inquire
wny tneir assessment is higher than
in lormer years, but in many cases
this can be explained by the fact that
part of their property has heretofore
escaped the assessor. Mr. White is no
respector of persons when acting in
tbe capacity of a public servant.
the meet oonveniont point on the river
to aunply steamboat, several hundred
cords a week could be contracted In
Purtliind. This is not guess work, but
the result of thorough investigation by
parties who contemplate goinif into
the business. It is an easy matter to
figure out Just what the net profit
woma be on every cord of wood
handled, because the estimates on cost
of construction and operating have al
ready been made. There is already a
large amount of cord wood sold here to
the steamboats sloue plying on (he
river, and the amount would be greatly
increased Were it positively known
they could always depend on the sup
ply. With a flume running wood onto
tbe docks in this city this uncertainty
would be removed. Let us say again
that money invested in this prnposi.
tion will yield largvr profit limn in I
any other enterprise, and an investi
gation ct the matter, we believe, will
prove these facts conclusive to the
Satisfaction of any business man.
REUBEN RUMORS.
While people who have money are
easting about looking for a place lo
invest it they should not overlook the
fact that right here in St. Helens there
is an opportunity to invest a few
thousand dollars which would yield
large profits lo the investor and fur
nish employment to a large number
of men at good wages. Tbis is noth
ing less than the building of a wood
flume from Milton creek into St
Helens. The Milton creek country
furnishes an abundant supply of tim
ber wbicb would not be exhausted for
years to come, and persons who have
examined the grade ssy there would
be no difficulty in constructing the
flume into this place. With a little
larger expenditure of money the flume
could be made of sufficient capacity
to carry lumber and piling. But tbis
need not be considered in the begin
ning, for the flume could be profitably
nssd all the time carrying wood, for
vbiuh there is a ready market here all
tbe year. In addition to tbis being i

CROPS AND WEATHER.
Following is the report of the State
Weather Bureau for the week ending on
Monday, July 29.
WESTERN OREGON.
Weather Generally cloudy weather, with
the temperature cooler than the average.
were the principal features of the weather
during tbe past week, consequently the
sunshine was deficient. There was a total
absence of precipitation.
Special grain report Harvest is progress
ing rapidly in all sections; some threshing
has been done, and already some grain has
been shipped. From tbs progress which
has already been made with tbe barvest,
it is expected tbat the bulk of tbe fall-sown
grain crop will be harvested within the suc
ceeding week or ten days. Within a few
days the entire winter oat crop will have
been harvested, and the spring oat crop
will soon be ripe enough to harvest Much
of tbe spring crop of oats on the higher
land has already been eut, though on the
lower land tbey are too green. Spring-
sown wheat has rjpened so rapidly tbat
wiimn ten aays li wm be ready (or barvest
in some localities; in the southern counties,
also in Lane and Linn counties, the crop
suffered somewhat by the warm, dry
weather though there is a wide divergence
of opinion as to material injury. Wher
ever barley is grown tbe crop is cood. In
the Willamette valley the crop is not gener
ally grown, but in Douglas, Josephine and
JtcksQn counties it is one of tbe principal
crops, and an excellent one this year. The
site and fnllneas of tbe heads ot wheat and
oats are commented npon by correspon
dents in all sections. Farmers are Jubilant
over tbe expected yield as a rule. Tbe po
tato crop is in need of rain, though np to
date it has made good progress. There is
a good crop of peaches, the earliest of
which is on tbs market. There are large
crops of prunes snd plums. All vegetables
and fruits are making the good advance
ment toward maturity tbat was expected.

You will observe that a new series ot Spelters,
Language, Grammar, Drswing and Civil Gov
ernment has been adopted, while all other books
are the same as used the past six years.
The Watson Spellers have been displaced by
Reed's Word Lessons, upon the following terms:
The pupil exchanges the old Speller (or the
new one and pays 10 cents additional, or buys
the new book for 20 cents, without giving the
old book.
The Grammar exchange Is made as follows:
The pupil gives his old Sill's or Clark's grammar
and S5 cents for the new Maxwell's Grammar,
and gives his Barnes' Language Book and 25
cents (or ths new Maxwell's First Book In
Language.
Peterman's Civil Government Is Introduced
in place of Younjr's Class Book, the pupil giving
his old book and AS cents for the new book.
'Drawing books are not exchanged for old
ones, but are sold direct at 10 cents each for
primary, and IS cents for advanced books.
These special terms npon the newly adopted
books are good nntll April 1, 1896, and all old
books should be displaced at once, while the
prices are favorable.
Ail new books adopted are of the latest and
best series and their introduction will be (or the
best interest ol the public school.
A full list of supplementary reading matter
has been selected, and while its use is not com
pulsory. It should be gradually Introduced into
the school-room.
Agents lor attending to the exchange ot new
books have been selected throushout the
county, and a special effort should be made to
have all new books introduced during the fall
term.
All text books nsed in the public schools after
October 1, 1895, must be of the (oregoing series,
and Boards ol Directors and Teachers should
insist npon the use ol the legal books.
In connection with the use of the regular text
books, I woula suggest that each district be
supplied with a Reading Chart, Geographical
Chart, Globe, Abacas, Physiological Chart or
Manikla, Webster's Dictionary and Blackboard;
also Cbalk, Erasers, Pointer, Pencils, Psper, Ink,
Pens, Etc., all of which may be purchased from
time to time from the 10 per cent, allowance
made annually from the regular school (und (or
such purposes.
The custom adopted by some districts ol pur
chasing wood, glass, stoves, tinware, lumber
and other articles not actually used in teaching.
is to be severely criticised, and should not be
practiced.
District clerks ate often paid ont of tbe teach'
er"s (und. This should be discontinued. The
money used In these transactions should be
raised by tax in the district.
Any further Information concerning the fore
going will be cheerfully furnished.
