In tiik County Road. There is said
to be a shingle mill standing in the
county road leading from Hninier
to lieavor valley, about a quarter of a

The shinglwinill stands in such a po
sition that water drips from the eaves
on the bridge. The mill standing upon
tho publio highway, Phillip Drnnt has
notified the owners that objection is
made to tho mill standing there, and
if the parties insist the mill will have
to be moved. It is just proliablo that
the circuit court will be called upon

Could Nor Aorkk, The joint meet
lug of the democratic and populist
state central committee! hold in Port
land Tuesday resulted in no final ac
tion being taken In the direction for
which the meeting was culled. The
object was to agree, if possiblo, upon a
plait to defeat Mr. Tongue for con-
f;reifl, and the gonnral tendency bofore
and was for the democrats and popu
lists each to withdraw their candidate
for congress in the first district and
ngrve upon a compromise man, prob
ably Judge Waldo or Representative
Darklej, After a stormy session last
ing far into the night, tho populists
declined to withdraw Vandurberg, thnir
candidate, and thereupon the demo
crats refused to pull JefT Myers, tlieir
candidate, down, and so the three-cornered
fight for ongress in the first
district is still on without any pros
pects of a compromise, which means
success for the republican.

Fruit Injured. From many parts
of the slate it is reported that the fruit
.crop is greatly injured by reason of
heavy froais and l ite, cold rains. It
is said the peach crop will l practi
cally a failure this year. It is also ea
timated that there wilt not be more
than one fourth of a cherry crop, and
other fruita are injured to such ox
tent that the erop will be short. The
fruit crop is not the only source from
which our people will sutler a shortage,
In Yamhill and other Willamette val

of spring-sown grain will be dtioronsetl
by Ml per cent from the usual amount

these things combined do not uflV'i an

Moeck, postmaster at Rainier, by one
O. G. (iuimby, for defamation of char
acter in making known the contents
of a certain letter directed to the post
master, warning people against Quinv
by, savor largely of blackmail. The
complaint filed in tho circuit court
avers that plaintiff is damaged in the
modest sum of $10,000. . People who
know Mr. Moeck best do not hesilute
to say they do not believe there was
any intent on his part of ininrv to an
othor, but only to protect an innocent
and unsuspecting publio from possible
intrusions. Tho care will come up
for hearing in tho circuit court this
May term. The plaintiff will be rep

that he believed he could not get

A New Swindle. The latest swin
die is accomplished by means of
double fountain pen, one end filled
with good ink, tho other with ink that
fades away in a day or two, Tho
sharper's plan is to call on farmers or
others, making a bargain so advanla
geous to them that they are willing to
agree to it, write the agrecmenbor eon
tract with the ink that fades, then
manage so that the victim signs it
with the ink that lasts. Then in a
few days they have the name on
sucet ni blank; paper on winch any
sort of note can be written. People
who read the papers aro careful how
they sign their names to any docu
ment offered by a stranger. Others
are caught in this new trap.

A Good One oh Euobne Salem
Journal : "Since Salem has no street
cars that are moved by means of a
mule or bovine it will probably be safe
to publish the following: In speuking
of the Russians and their care of
horses, Dr. Gregory de Kannet related
that Russiau horsemen exchanged
horses at least every half hour. The
lecturer said he found Oregon differed
in thut respect. At Eugene there is a
street car line whose cars are propelled
by an old nrilu and the owners of tho
corporation are so thoughtful that
they change cart every half hour but
the mule is obliged to work tho ontire

Had Thkke Names. The Columbia

was called the Saint Rogue, but when
it was discovered by Robert Gray, in
1702 it was given the name of his" ves
sel, the Columbia, in place of the two
floating appellations Oregon and St.
Uoo ne. According to Whitney, the
original name of tho river was the
Orejon, "big ear," or "ono that has big

in its region, of stretching their ears
by boring them and crowding them

Editors Mist: In view of the fact that
the populists of Columbia county bar no
organ through which they can express
themselves, such slush is thrust upon an
unsuspecting publio through a sheet called
"Independent," published by one Mitchell,
that is so misleading tnd possibly danger
ous, as the article in question purports to
be written by one R. gesssman, although
the phraseology Indicates that he was not
tho writer. Hut this Bcsseman aspires to
ho county judge, and in a three-cornered
contest it Is possible that sucli a calamity
may befall our county as bis election.
The article referred to was tntltlcd "Good
Roads," lie recommends that the county
issue (50,000 In county warrants to be paid
In annual payments of t-5000 without in
terest, and these warrants to be used to
build a "good rosd" from St. Helens to
Vernonia. The first objection is tbat the
county is prohibited from going In debt
ovor IflOOO, and the very proposition Implies
that be would be willing to violate his offi
cial oalh to support the constitution. This
shows him to be a dangerous and unscru
pulous character, wholly unfit for so re
sponsible and Important an office.
In the scoond place, if such warrants are
intended us a circulating medium, they
will be subjected to an annual tax of ten
per cent. Tho question arises, "What
would be the present worth of such paper
payable in twenty years with annual inter
est of ten per cent, and in view of the
further fact that a decision might at any
time be handed down by the supreme court
declaring such issues unconstitutional and
void V The utterance of such wild schemers
appear to ludicrous, as a measure of relief,
that we are forced to look in some other
direction for the root of the evil. The ex
pendituro of so much money (debt) would
give scope to a "Uick"-tator to employ the
gang that nave secretly conspired to tin
elevation. This would be clover for Bchoon
over, Mitchell, Campbell et al. This gang
secretly disfranchised the populists In the
state and national conventions and slated
the ticket for this county.
Verily, the smell of official fire has brought
the rlfi'-rair to the surface, and the evils en
dured by the populists appear to be cumu

Editors Mist: I noticed a remarkable
production from the fertile brain of Ver-

The Mist. Whether lie had it published
for the purpose of advertising that he now
hud an office, or whether he wanted tbe
people of Columbia county to know that he
is still alive and open for any office from
representative to road viewer, wo leave for
the ppople to judge. We are sorry tbat his
petition for a place on the populist ticket
for judge met with such poor success in his
own neighborhood, where the long-haired
populist is so well known ; and who knows
that from the fact that a certain populist
gave blni away on bis (D's) scheme for
said populist to work for M r. recorder's
nomination for judge on the promise of f 10
per month salary, has turned what few
brains tha recorder had, to water.
Nose, why did not Mr. Davison, recorder,
"publish the minutes as they are in tbe
minute book," and not send the proof
licet? Mr. recorder published that, his
friends lell me that my verse is full of to-claimed minutes, without authority of
fire. "Good enough, " replied the ed- law, and in doing to has overstepped the
