City Burvky. A restirvey of the
lownsite of St. Helen eannot full to
ftccompllsh good results. As the pint
now stands no one is certain e to the
boundaries of property, and const
auentty transfers are difficult. When
the new survey I made it may be
found Decenary to straighten up some
of the old rookeriee which have been
shining monument to the founder of
the city for eo many years. The
boundaries of property being Iocs ted
more definitely may also enooursge
the construction of new buildings.
School Funoe If uddm.-The Rain
ier school district is just now endeav
oring to collect something over f 200
due the district. Thee funds were
iileced In the banking institution
known as the Northwest Loan 4 Trust
Company, in Portland, which institu
tion suspended business a little more
than two years igo. Since that time
owe small divideud has been paid, but
there seems no possibility that the
remsJudor will ever be paid by the
bank. The district has been deprived
of the use of the money for more than
two years, but now the new clerk, Mr.
Thoe. Woodruff, has tsken the matter
in hand sud proposes to see ifitcan
not be made Rood, either out of the
ex-clerk or his bondsmen.
Resumkd II rb lit). After a three
week's lay-off fur repairs the steamer
Young America resumed her run be
tween this city and Portland last Mon
day, via the Willamette slough. This
iu'pitar steamer haa been thoroughly
rtmiotldlcd inside and so arranged thai
every convenience is now afforded the
traveling public. The boiler ha been
turned end about, the house has been
walled up, the latter making a decided
improvement in the comfort to pas
sengers, and the former afloiding more
freight room. This steamer, haa also
hoen newly (minted and improved in
ninny inspects, and now the penitlo
alone; 'tie slough are supplied witli a
comfortable and fast boat, manned by
one of the most accommodating crews
on the river.
The Woolly APHta.-Tlierelsmuch
discussion constantly going on a to
how best to guard against the wooly
aphis, and especially to prevent the
. . . ...
Insect spreauioc. Many toeones uav.
been advanced but none seem to pro
vide the remedy sought. Some have
advanced the idea that to transplant
the orchard by grafting into the wild
crab apple from the woods would bee
the desired effect, claiming: that the
aphis does not exist in the wild stalk.
This, however, scums to be a mistake.
Mr. Dolmen a few days ago bad a
number of wild erab trees dug up
and brought to town for the purpose
of grafting, and, aa he thought, free
fromaphie. To hie utter surprise be
discovered the root ot some of the
etalki to be literally alive with the in
sect be sought to eradicate. They
were there in dusters surrounded by
fas or a web, apparently of their own
epinning, similar to the spider web.
There can be no mistake about this,
since the aphis was found on these
wild stalks when first brought from
the woods. Indeed it seems that if the
wooly aphis is to be exterminated some
other remedy must be discovered.
City Council Meeting.
At the regular council meeting held
Monday night a oontraot for a survey
of a part ol the lownsite of St. Helens

sum of 25 cents a lot frontage on the
streets surveyed. The council decided
to survey three streets back from the
river. Bids for doing the surveying
were submittod by A. B. Little sud W.
N. Meserve, esch agreeing to do the
work for the same price. Little's bid
waa taken up first and the vow stood:
Oounoilmen Cooper and Blikesley for,
and Dart ami Mitea against accepting
it. Mr. Dolman, president of the coun

which was oast in favor of Little. This

but laid on the table. The city re

This mortgage wss turned over to the court
in ths final settlement of the executor.
About a year ago W. J. Rice petitioned
for the appointment of gaardian of tbe
minor's iatereate In this state, snd was ap
pointed by Judge Blancbard at tbs request
of KUa Bailey. Ths Brat bond filed by tbe
newly sppolntsd guardian was for 13000.

guardian ordered to Hie a new bond in tbe
sum of 13000 which was dons with W. J. Rice

IMPEACH MINISTER BAYARD
Insolation Presented to Con
gross for that Purpose.
Heated Speeches Made on Either
Side The Resolution Paaaed
by a 8trlct Party Vote.
WaSHisoTos, Deo. 10. Representative
Barrett of Massachusetts enjoy tbs dis
tinction of being the author of ths most
thrilling Incident of ths present house. He
threw a bombshell Into that body soon
after It convened, by offering a resolution
to Impeach Thomas F. Bayard, ex-secretary
of stats snd now United States am
bassador to England. Ths grounds ad
vanced were utterances of Mr. Bayard de
livered before th Edinburgh, Bcotlsnd,
Phllosophlcsl Institute, Rovember 7.
In this speech Mr. Bayard spoks of "pro
tection' as a form of state socialism, and
said it had done mors to foster "class legis
lation," "breed iniquity," "corrupt public
life," "lower tbe tone of national repre
sentation" and "divorce ethics from poll
tics" tlisn any other single cause. Such
reflections on ths government policy by s
United Slates ambassador before a foreign
audience, the resolution recited, were in
serious disregard of ths proprieties of bis
obligation, and calculated to Injurs our
national reputation.
Barrett's resolution Is as follows: "I do
impeach Thomas F. Bayard, Untied States
ambassador to Great Britain, of high
crimes snd misdemeanors, on tbe follow
ing grounds;
"Whereas, Tbe following report of a
speech delivered before ths Edinburgh
Philosophical Institute by Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard, ambassador of tbe United States of
America, at the eourt of Bt. James, Is pub
lished in ths London newspapers of No
vember 8, 1806."
H then quotes tbs Associated Press dis
patch containing tbs report ot tbe speech
and the comment, and closes as follows:
"Whereas, Such reflection upon the
government policy and people of the United
State by in anibaanador of tb United
State In a foreign country, and before a
foreign audience is manifsatly in serious
disregard of the proprieties snd obligations
which should be observed by an official
representative of the United 8tates abroad,
and calculated to injure our national repu
tation; be it
'Reaolved, By the hoa.e of representa
tives, that tbe committee on foreign affairs
be directed to ascertain whether such state
ments have been publicly made, and, if so,
to report to the house such action, by Im
peachment, or atberwlse, a shall be proper
in tbe premises. For the purpose of this
inquiry tbe committee la authorised to call
for persona snd papers."
Hitt, who has been chairman of the for
eign affairs committee, advised Barrett to
amend tbe resolution so as to strike out the
words instructing the committee to report
by impeachment or otherwise," snd this
was Anally done.
Crisp was on his feet as soon ss the read
ing of ths resolution was concluded, and
raised the point of order that the resolu
tion did not constitute a question of privi
lege. Barrett made reply. Speaker Reed over
ruled tha point of order, and Barrett took
tbe floor to make hi argument In favor of
the adoption of his resolution. A hush fell
upon the house. It wss tbe first exciting
incident of the sesidon. Barrett spoke
clearly and forcibly, but briefly. He con
tended tbat Bayard's utterances, from a
public servant, reflected upon our demo
cratic policy, and were intended to aggran-
diss hia party, not his country. He drew a
striking parallel between the esse of Mr.
Bayard and that of Martin Van Buren,
whose nomination was rejected by th sen
ate because, as secretary ot state, ha had
given to our minister to Great Britain se
cret Instructions to deal with tbe British
foreign office in a manner calculated to in.
crease tbe prestige of his party in this coun
try. Barrett quoted the strong words of
Daniel Webster, denouncing Van Buren'
oonduct on that occasion, for being "the
representative of his party instead of hia
country."
Barrett was given several rounds of ap
plause by tbe republicans.
'It Is trus that Martin Van Buren's nonv
ination was rejected by the senate," said
Cooper of Florida, interrupting ths Massa-
choeettes representative, "but is it not also
true tbat in 1898 the people of tbs United
States vindicated Mr. Van Buren by elect-
ing him president of the United States?
"And I give you notice," be sdded, aha
ing hia finger at the republican side, "that
Mr. Bayard may be vindicated In the same
manner."
The republicans were amused at this pre
diction of Cooper regarding the possible fu
ture vindicatian of Mr. Bayard, and broke
Into a cheer when Barrett called Cooper's
attention to tbe fact that four years after
Van Buren's vindication in 1810 "he was
buried so deep that he was nsvei again
heard of."
Kx-8peaker Crisp replied to Barrett in
rather an Ironical tone. The purpose of
ths resolution, hs said, "was evidently to
give the gentlemen on the other side some
thing on which to air their vlewa on protec
tion." He did not think, he said, that any
gentleman elected to a seat on the floor of
tbs bouse believed thst the resolution con
tained grounds for impeachment. "It you
Impeach Mr. Bayard for those words,"
said tbs ex-speaker, "you must impeach a
majority of the American people."
Ths republicans jeered at tbla, but Crisp
proceeded to recall the overwhelming re
publican defeat that followed the enact
ment of the McKlnley protective measure.
Hs sdded thst now, if the republican be
lieved so heartily In high protection, tbey
should be brave enough to frame and pass
a bill. It was the only way they could
justify their position.
MoCall followed Crisp snd said Mr. Bay
ard made a vary partisan speech, obviously
ons of impropriety. Sir. Bayard, bt said,
misrepresented the American people by
saying they nesded a strong master. Ths
people of the United States have no master.
Ths president waa their servsnt. "V
Dingley followed MoCall and took the
ground that Mr. Bayard waa an ambassador
of tha United States, and ths question wss
whether he should so far forget his duty ss
to denounce the policy ot one-half of th
people of the United States. Has the am
bassador of tbla oountry the right to go
upon tbe platform in a foreign oountry and
denounce one-half ot tbe people in tbs
terms used by Mr. Bayard T
Crisp Any citlsen, no matter -who be
may ba or what position he occupies, has a
right to say what be thinks upon economic
questions.
In reply to a question by Crisp, Dingley
declared, amid applause on the republican
slds, tbst his personal opinion was tbat tha
offense of Mr. Bayard was Impeachable,
and be ought to be impeached by the house.
"I believe," concluded Dingley, "tbat an
example should be made of some of these
gentlemen who srs constantly violating tbs
principles and tbs proprieties of official
life. Mr. Bayard should be publicly con
demned." Johnson of Indiana, aneakins on the res
olution, denounced In unmeasured terms
the course of Sir. Bayard, who, hs said,
not only disparaged a civil policy of tbe
United States, but Impugned tb honesty
snd integrity of those who advocated tbs
policy.
. Vt aen tne previous queauon waa uv

lost by s rising vote oi so to -on.
Crisp then demanded the aye and no
vote, wbich was taken. resultlngflO to 207.
Cannon moved to atrike out tbe worda
"by impeachment or otherwise," snd his
motion was sgreea to. as amenaea, isi
resolution was adopted without division.

It Is satisfactory to notice that our farm

side for everything. Three crates of chick

eral boxes of excellent apple tbat went off
at tbe same time, and besides being a gooa

The special school meeting Saturday waa
onlv falrlv well attended, but there waa a
general expression of desire to have the
school term lengthened to at least eight
months, snd a tax sufficient to raise $500
for school purposes was voted without any
trouble. A vacation of two weeks was de
cided on, beginning on Monday JCM Inst.
The schools are going on In a very satialao
torv manner and the parents feel interested
in having them continue, even if it is neces
sary to pay a tax tor tne purpose.
