A 1'i.KASiNa Affair. Last Thurs
day evwnintf, September 5th, Captain
and Mra. llendnrson, of Houlton, en
tertained a number of thei' friends at
thoir home. Invitation had been le
aned a day or two previous, and the
event wa looked forward to with great
expectation. Shortly after duak a
'good-niced crowd gntbered at tho house
and indulged in chat and card until
late in the evening, when lunch wa
announced. All partook in a manner
which indicated that many had pur
posely (I (jhied the afternoon uieol and
bore evidence of a thorough apprecia
tion of all the good things which had
been spread before them. All had a
pleasant time, which was evidenced
by the lateness of Hie hour when they
dinperaod. . Those who enjoyed the
hot pilality ol Captain and Mr. Hen
derson were Mr. and Mr. U. Cox, Mr.
and Mrs. Jas. Mucklo, Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob George, Mr. and Mrs. David
llenshaw, Mr. and Mr. D. J. fiwiUer,

A Dryimo Estaiiushmint. We
note among the improvements In the
little town of lloulton thia fall, tho
erection of a fruit dryer by Mr. Lind
ley Meeker. That gentleman has a
large orchard of fine Italian prunes,
the trees being exceptionally heavily
laden, and in order to save the fruit
he la putting up this, dryer, the first
one, wo believe, of the kind in Colum
bia county. He has employed to su
perintend its oonstruotion Mr. 0. C.
Mitrsan, of Vancouver, Wash., who
baa hud lnrgo experience in uch work.
The building i 20x30 feet, two stories
in heiirht. with a basement for the
furnace, which i constructed of brick,
with hot and cool air Hues leading
from it to a chamber, also built of
brick, which stands just above the fur
nace and which is 14 feet ft inches by
7 foot, and contains a system of large
pipes for the conveyance and distribu
tion of the heat, the whole apparatus
being so arranged as to maintain any
degree ot heal desired. Direotly above
this chamber and on the main iloor I
n chamber of the ame size, to hold
the trays, 120 in number, for the dry
ing of tho fruit. The rest of the main
floor will be used to receive and ore
pare tho fruit for drying; the upper
story is for the storage of the fruit
when dried, and the estimated capao
. itv of tho dryer is 60 bushels every 24
hours, and its oost will be about s&UU.
Mr. Meeker lias probably one week's
work with his own prunes and then
lie intend to dry for others, quite a
number of our prune-growers having
made arrangements to that effect. We
Lulieve and hope he will succeed in
this undertaking, not only because he
deservos to be well paid for his ven
ture, but it will mean much to Colum
bia county, as success in this case will
moan the building of dryer in other
parts of the county. Mr. Marsan tells
us that in his business of building and
repairing dryers he has had occasion
to visit many of tho prune orchards of
mis coast, and Hint Mr. Mucker's orch
ard is the best that he has scon, bet
ter, even, than the famed orchards of
Vancouver, both for size and quality,
tiiu confirming what Thr Mist has
all the time claimed, that Columbia
joounly ia the oqiml of any county In
tho alula in fruit-ruining.

moved to the Cowlitz valley, in Wash
ington, where he spent tho rest of his
life in a useful manner.
If Tbk Mibt is reliably informed in
the matter, there is urgent need of in
spection by the authorities of the
premises upon wbicb tne children
died of diphtheria on Sauvies island,
and the man nor in which the patients
were allowed to be transferred by boat
from that place to Portland. It is said
that no precaution whatever was taken
to prevent the disease from spreading
over the entire country there around,
and if such is the case there may yet
be still further destruction by that
peasiience. Undoubtedly there i work
for the health officers there, aud it is
tbe duty of those who have tbe wel
fare of that community at heart to
see that some attention is paid the
matter.
Messrs, Btrachan and Gibbs, two ex

pleted will be cemented and used for
a publio watering place. It is built of
native basalt and granite, and besides
being a credit to tbe workmen, will
also be a great convenience to the
publio, and ia evidence of tbefaot that
Mr. Cooper la always alert to tne ae
mands of the publio in more ways
than one. It is something whioh there
has been a crying need of for a long
time, and speaks well for any citizen
whose public spirit prompts him to
supply.
Affaire of the City. -
Tuosday evening tbe common council of
Hits city met and considered several im
portant matters for tho city welfare. Fro
Inent am one other tiling was the consider
ation of the improvement of that part of

The attempt of the Oregon fe Cali
fornia railroad oompany to have tbe
assessed valuation of their land in this
oounty reduced from $3 to$l per acre,
we believe will not meet with tbe ap
proval of the citizens generally. We
fail to see any valid reason why the
valuation should be lowered on cor
poration property any more than on
individual property. We believe also
that a just and equitable assessment
ha been made and should not be
tampered with. The railroad agent
when here during court last week in
sisted that he did not want the value
lowered on other property than that of
the railroad. Of course not, Ihe
railroad company always want the
actual settlers to pay the tax on their
land by having the former assessed
low and the latter high. Mr. rases'
oourse in demanding that the valua
tion be not lowered on the railroad
land is commendable, and in fairness
to the taxpayers 10 goneral should be
concurred in by the other members of
the court.
