St Ti value, ot A.nt'wgpSiVer id adver Users depend! on the circulation and the extent to which the piper is reaa. Many advertisers thr.nv their money ay by circulating their advertise rnenrs in sriers which sre merely glanced at mid then thrown aay. Bach advertising is dear at any price. T" iti Review it great bluffer, but It nasgottenluto the wrong pew this time. By the way, what will become of the Sentinel aince the pops have fallen in love with the little spasmodic down at Rainier. It may now be a little chilly fbr tba Chief, too. How are the spuds holding out, boyaT Th Rainier Review bna gone soul, body and breechea into the populiat camp. This lateat freak ia aot sur prising to those who have watched the antics of the little apaamodio since It started ; indeed, it haa been of the populiat persuasion all the time, and baa attempted to, and to a certain de gree succeeded, in carrying water on both shoulders until now. But the populists have evidently demanded that it show itself, since the spring campaign ia near at hand. Newspa pers of the Review type are always for sale, and usually very cheap, too, but an article so cheap is not worth buy ing. The Review deserves ci edit for one thing, however, it copies Ths Mist's editorials with credit Thanks. According to the Oregonian there is some relief in sight from the pesky carp. They are to be frosen and ex ported to their native country Ger many. It is said that tbey are to be shipped out by the ton and the more tons the better. These fish hsve been proven to be the most utterly worth less of any that have been transplanted in our northern waters, and if China and Germany want them back, tor the sake of our country, send them back, for there is where they belong. If the Goble cannery people can make profit able use of this Oriental production it certainly should be the pleasure of the people who reside along the Columbia and its tributaries to glut the estab lishment with their worthless carcases. Thi administration's foreign policy as set forth in President Cleveland's message to congress does not meet with the approval of our neighbors across tba water, because the chief ex ecutive of the United Stales does not concede all England demands. Bat if the administration would but carry into practice many of the things indi cated in the president's message it would hare a far better standing with the American people; and from the tenor of some of the resolutions pre sented in congress, practice instead of theory, is liable to be the rale rather than the exception. If it has not al ready, congiera will sooner or later learn, that it does not psy to dally with the foreign powers in uncertain tones. ExpkbiehcB seems to bring wisdom to some people, some times. For in stance. Farmer Jackson, of Southern Oregon, who became famous a few year ago by going to San Francisco and letting the sharpers rob him of all the money he had quite a large sumj paid the same city another visit the other day, and fought shy of the sharp en to be sure. He just took a room and advertised for a wife, and when a lively one to bis fancy called, was go ing to marry her right off, until she fastened on to two $20 gold pieces in hia pocket, and slipped out and away, when he gay chase and ran her into a police ststion and was locked up himself, to be sure, that he could be found for a witness when the case was called. Nothing like the wisdom of experience. - Tax meanest person in the world either man or woman, is the sneak, ex cept some other person who is a big ger aneak. The man or woman who will smile up into the face of another with .friendship, and who, with soft words, will express solicitude for the health and prosperity of the person addressed, and with soft compliments will express the hope that the future of the other may be enhanced ; and . who then, behind the person's back, will by whispers and innuendoe, and where possible, by open words, try to break down the reputation of that per son, to east doubts upon that person's sincerity and try by tne means of the snesk to weaken the respect of others for that person; to cause others to doubt the friendship of that person, snch an individual in a community is a mischiefmaker, and is worthy of the contempt only 01 decent people. Ths total valuation of taxable prop erty in Columbia county in 1894 was 11,676,523. This year it is $1,534,663, or a falling off of 1141,853. There may be assigned several reasons for this, one of which is a general depre ciation of values, and another is that there were many double assessments made in 1894, which appeared on the roll as representing actual taxable property, but which, when taxpaying time came could not be realized upon. If the double assessments were de ducted from the total amount as shown by the roll of 1894, the vsluation in the two years mentioned would be very nearly equal. In a few counties of the state the total valuation Is greater this year than last, but this only occurs in counties which have had a substantial growth accompanied by the advent of new industries. Val uations have depreciated all over the state and Columbia county is no ex ception to the role. It has already taken the Review three weeks to print the county court proceedings for the last term snd it is not certain that it bas yet finished. At thia rate it would take it about a year to print the tat list. As a matter of fact, Ths Mist is the only paper in the county prepared to do such work. Besides it is impracticable to have such work done away from the county seat where it cannot be personally look ed after by the officer. If the Review nan made an offer to print the tax list for any stipulated price he did it solely for buncomb, for he knew that such a proposition could not be enter tained aud was impracticable. He alio knew that hia paper had not suf fioient circulation to entitle it to con- iderstiou in such matters. . The real intent of the law in providing for the publication of notices on execution or anything else Is to give it the widest publicity possible, and in executing the Ihw the official is expected to tuku cognisance of tins fact. It is appar ent to everybody tlmt the Heviow has tither been eubaiiliiHil by the popu list or is running a bluff, or both, and in Ha foolish howl about "ring" it knows nut whereof it speaks. St. Hel ens nor Union precinct thu largest iu the county waa given a place on the county ticket at the but election and consequently there is no St. Hvl ens man holding a county office. Tli-cli-rk, sheriff and treasurer have moved here from other parts as a matter of convenience during their respectivt terms, but they are not bona fide reti dents, and on election day do not vote here. Rainier has the judge and sher iff, Vernonia has the clerk, Quincy, the assessor; Deer Ielaud, the treas urer ; Svsppoose, the commissioner and school superintendent; and Delena has the surveyor. The cry of "ring" is of very sncicnt origin and does not apply at the present time, since the officers are well distributed over the county, and notwithstanding the Re view e many misrepresentations and j implications, they are attempting to do the very best thing possible under the circumstances. fMr STBAKGS, INDEED. But," says the Review, "it is our first experience in over 35 years of newspaper work where a republican paper, working for the good of the party, has been given the cold sboolder as it has by those in power in Colum bia county." Indeed I No one would ever have known it was republican if it bad not said so. But herein lies the secret of tbo Review's discontent. If tho public patronage were given it, to which it has no right, the little spas modio would be as silent as an oyster. To show that the Review is here for boodle only, and will resort to black mail or any other method to get it, we quote below three items from that paper which appeared a short time ago just after Sheriff Doan bad given it three notices of tale to publish. Here they are, and if they are not sufficient to show the dishonest mode of procedure or tactics of the Review we can produce many more: , 'Sheriff Doan, the sturdy conservator of the peace of Columbia county, came down from Bt. Helens last Wednesday and post poned the Muekles tale one week. Nego tiations arc pending for a settlement of this ease before the sate, some statement of which may be made later in this week's Beview." Review, July 19. "Sheriff Doan visited Rainier on official business last Monday, snd shook hands with his many friends who believe that Columbia county has a sheriff that is O. K." Review, August Mi. "While waiting st the wharf for a boat last Monday an old settler (a very influen tial man) stepped od to Sheriff Doan, and in the presence of ths writer said: 'Mr. Doan. 1 don't endorse vour nolitics. bnt I do endorse your conduct as an officer; I be lieve coiuniDia county ass an nonest ner iff, and a man who has atamina enough to enforce the law just as be finds it. without fear or favor. As our modest sheriff did not disputa the statement, we may con' cmae tost me om gentleman was correct. i.eview, august io. Sheriff Doan is still cond noting bis office in the same manner endorsed by ine "influential mau" above referred to which was concurred in at that time by the Review. Why this won derful change in so short a time. is purely an attempt to bulldoze the countv othcera into patronising the mushroom sheet through fear of be ing blackmailed. But snch attempt will not swerve an honest official from the pathway cf bis duty. DEEK ISLAND. Ths old lady Merrill is convalescing and about ss well now as usual. Mrs. ids Bonser and daughter spent Thanksgiving with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles English. Mrs. Elizabeth Merrill bss gone to Reuben on a visit to her daughter and son-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Alex McDonald. Quite a large crowd cams down from Yankton to attend the Thanksgiving dance at the new ball, Their conduct reflected credit upon their neighborhood. K. J. Barues is busy covering his house with rustic, which gives it a fins sppear- Snce. Mr. Barnes has also a large, com modious woodshed in course ot construc tion. Mr. I. Bumgardner has gons en a visit to bis family st Ashland, Oregon. It Is re ported that the family does not find South ern Oregon, ss good as anticipated, but it done an immense amount cf good to Mr. Bumgardner. (Should the Rainier Beview have pub lished the delinquent tax list, which he is so much crying about, and made as many errors in its publication as it does in names of people that do business with the county court it could not possibly be legal: besides ths Review is not of general circulation, for not till recently (U now) was one copy of it received at this pottoffice. where a largs smount of property was ad vertised for taxes. Tbs sheriff is perfectly justified in not publishing it in the Beview, Oal tens' dance wss a grand success, both social and financial. Mr. Gaitens la just the kind of man that understands what most people like. I fine, orderly ball and a good supper. When tbs posters snnouneed that Mr. Frank BUhop was to be floor manager, it was enough to Insure those who felt like attending that good order would be the rule. The music was grand, being organ and violin. Tbe organists were Messrs. J. M. Fayns snd C. H. English: tbs violinists were 8. Kinder, Edwin Mer rill, E. J. Barnes, Edgar Enyart, A. P. Usher and E. H.

The special school meeting on Sat' urday ought to lie w ell attended. We noticed Fatriarch M. 0. MoQee, of Upper Clatskanie, on our streets this week. J. D. Nelson, one of our enterpris ing ranchers, was in town Wednesday with some fine apples tor delivery to customers tiore. John Wanbury wns in town lust Wednesday and from the summit of attention he was giving Ins jaws lie must have had some teeth drawn. Mrs. Uriah Kelly was taken ill last week and is now prostrated from an attack of malarial fever, which will prevent her getting away tor several lays yet. II. Kntls and the drug store are ex hibiliug special goods for the holiday trade. The drug store window is now tilled with quite an attractive variety in that line. W. K. Tichenor has been supplying some missing plank along the county road between the suinglemtlt and the steamer landing. Ho expects to be hauling shingles soon. On Monday last John Wallace of Mist, was in town with some fine porkers he was taking to market at Astoria. It is quite a distauce to have to go to sell pork. One of tho families that recei t'y moved into our town is moving out again, headed for Portland. Perhaps this may be all right, for if all who come in remained here, wo would soon have no room for new-comers, and if a man is fortunate in striking some thing elsewhere we congratulate him on bis good luck and wish him success. Mrs. Leamler R. Bnrnham, who with ber husband, made their home on a scow, now anchored at Wallace island, died ou Tuesday night of ex haustion, resulting from a chronic bone disease that has kept np a dis charge from her limb for years. She was nearly 62 years of age and leaves beside her husband, a son and daugh ter nearly grown up. Her remains were buried in the Maplewood ceme tery on Thursday of this week. A school bell is a useful thing in a town to call time, but it is amusing to see a few scholars who wait until the boll rings the last time before they start to join the procession thst forms on the front steps. Tbey generally get there, but they go into school blow ing as though they bad to put on sev eral pounds of extra steam to make the time. It may be all right, but two or three minutea of an earlier start would pnt them in less danger of get ting tbe "heaves or some other wind' broken condition. On Monday evening Mrs. M. A. Hall arrived on tbe steamer from San JJi ego, CaL, to visit her eon and family in this city. 8 he is Dr. Hill's mother, and came rather nnexpectedly to him as he presumed she would prefer to winter in southern California. She is an active lady for one of her age, be ing 77 years old, and is pleased with what she sees about here. Tbe grand' children, whom she never saw before prove an especial attraction, and moth er, son and daughter, as well as grand children, enjoy tbe visit. A case of very troublesome hemor rhage from the cavity of an extracted tooth occurred in the family of John Wallace, of Mist. One of bis boys bad gone up to Mr. Hodge's and bad tooth taken out. After returning to bis borne blood continued lo run from the cavity for a day or more in spite of any application the friends could make to stop it. Naturally the family became alarmed and on Sunday even' ing sent lo our town lor medical as sistance. Dr. Hall went out and suc ceeded in a short time in putting an end to the trouble. On Tuesday the justice's court wss so attractive that tbe room was crowd ed to listen to the proceeding in the Hill-Van case. It was only a civil suit to collect something about $50, but tbe fact of there being a well-known attorney from St. Helens, Mr. Allen, on one side, and our well-known attor ney, W. H. Conyers, on the other side, gave rise to tbe belief that there might be something entertaining to listen to. and that we might, as spectators, gath er some points of use to our business relations. In this we were not disap pointed, for we listened and laughed. and we think we got tbe pointers with out having to fee an attorney, and having a comfortable seat, which many did not have, our only regret was te bear tbe tustice agree to postpone tbe case for two weeks. Edwin Boss, tbe druggist, will tell yon that no one is better qualified to judge of tbe merits of an article than the dealer, because be bsses bis opin ion on the experience of all who use it. For this reason be wishes us to publish the remarks of other dealers about an article which be handles. Messrs. C. F. Moore & Co., Newberg, Oregon, says: "We sell more of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy than all otb era put together, and it always gives good satisfaction." Mr. J. F. Allen, of Fox, Oregon, asys : "I believe Cbam berlain's Congb Bemedy to be the best I have handled." Mr. W. H. Hitchcock, Columbus, Wash., says "Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy sells well and is highly praised by all who use it." VALLEY ITEMS. A very heavy wind storm prevailed here last Tharsday, blowing down many trees snd blockading the roads so that travel was greatly delayed. Tbe wind was fol lowed by a heavy rain which raised the creek about two feet. Fred Teller bas completed bis new resi dence and gave a dance on Saturday night. A good supper wss provided and all seemed to hare a real good time. 3. Deliskl, who waa working for Muckle Bros., is home sgain. J. White is now working in Smith's toe ing camp on the Milton creek range cutting logs. Thanksgiving day is now over and all seemed to enjoy themselves well. We sre thsnkfnl to tbs governor for his good proc lamation for that day. W. Miller Is planting a new orchard and enclosing tbs asms with a ticket fence. xr Vt.... VREOUtATOH?
