which Mr. Allen wa introduced, and
who occupied tbe floor for three-quar

the financial question. Mr. Cleelon
then addressed the meeting for oearly
an hour upon th tariff issue, and the

That Wood Flumr. Thi city Is
again the seat of agitation over a pro-
nosed wood nume irom aiiiton oreea.
Two gentlemen from Portland were
here last week looking over th field,
and it is reported they are eriouly
considering such a proposition. We
have been informed that the proposi
tion is to build th flume from a point
en Milton creek near tha Strachan
plaoe, acros th flat and approach th
city from the south ; that Milton ceek
is to be dammed' at that place, and
that the wood i to be floated in that
a ream to the dam. The proposition
U a feasible on, and no doubt, if th
gmtlemen meet with no serious dim
c ilty the flum will be built. Thi 1
n it an authorativa statement. We re
poet only what ha been talked on the
street. After the flum ha been built
thaeity water front from Sheldon's
butcher shop south to th extreme
outh end of th Muckle wharf will be
lined with one solid wharf, a It is sup.
posed that all that room would be nec
essary to handle th large amount of
wood whioh the proposed flum will
have a capacity to convey. Thia oity
is on of the most aooessable point on
th river for an extensive wood busi
eets, and should thi scheme be put
into successful operation all the tim
ber tributary to Milton creek can be
utilised, tbu furnishing employment
to a great many now idle men, and
affording opportunities for advance in
labor at remuneration far above what
ha been paid to choppers for several
year. Thi wonld not only be of in
calculable benefit to St, Helens but it
would greatly stimulate the business
and labor of the whole country tribu
tary to us, and would do its important
part in bringing prosperity to us again.

will lake until about May 1st to com'
plete tbe structure, as the work of tbe
freezing rooms is a particular job.
The bollow walls of these rooms are
not to be filled with sawdust or char
coal or anything of that aort, but will
be so constructed that the wind will
freely circulate therein which will
freeze the salmon put inside aa hard
a pig iron, so thst they can be shipped
to Jerusalem if necessary.
General Agent Green, of the Great
Northern Railroad Company, was in
this city laat Friday, aud slated that
the above-named road would be eon
structed through to Portland before
long. We hope he is not mistaken
about this matter. Kalama Bulletin.
It will be remembered that construe
lion work on that line waa vigorously
pushed several years ago, but it aud'
denly stopped. Should operations be
resumed a business revival on tbe op
posite side of the river mav be looked
for, beside there may be some change
in operation along tha Columbia river
line from Goble down.
