Tna Gbadb Damaged. A report from Astoria contains the following: "The heavy rains of the last few days have seriously damaged the grade of the Astoria & Columbia River railroad between Tongue Point and Knappa. Every cnt on that portion of the road that was recently finished by Corey Bros. & Wattis has been almost Tilled by slides. At one point, a short dis tance east of John l)iy's, a slide oc curred that covered about two aciea of ground and carried with it seven of the Western Union telegraph poles the entire mass going ioto the river. In places the ripranpi.ig has been wathed out, and the entire grade is re ported lo be extremely soft." New County Treasurer Mr. W. II. Dolman has resigned as county treasurer and the county court has ap pointed ex-Couniy Treasurer E. M. Wharton to nil the vacancy, ibis oturse was decided upon by Mr. Dol man some time ago when he made up his mind lo pay an extended visit lo California this winter snd did uot de sire to retain tho responsibility of th office nnless he could give it bis per sonal attention. The county court, recognizing Mr. Wharton's fitness for the position, and his services in the past lo the satisfaction of all, promptly made the appointment. Mr. Whar ton at once furnished the required bond and entered upon his official duties. The appointment, in our lodgment, was a wise one, and no doubt will give genoral satisfaction. Common Sensk Talk. The follow ing is an excerpt from the Eugene Guard, a stalwart democratic paper, of date November 4th, and allows with whht respect the influential democrats regard Mr. McKinley : "Yesterday we met the enemy and w are theira. William McKiuley has been elected president by one of the largest elec toral votes ever given, and by the popular vote. He ia a pure statesman and we hope that he will give us an administration under which the coun try will prosper. As is well known to most of our readers we disagree witli him on the prominent question at issue, but still we hope for the best. He is the president of no party. He Is the president of the American peo ple. If our political opponents pros pei under his adminiatiaiion, so will we. If time doea not bring the pros er!ly promised by the victorious party, the American people will arise in their might at the next election and hurl them from power. This is one of the blessings of free end independent country," Insulted thb Flao. On Saturday before election the American flag was openly insulted on the ft reels of Rain ier, when a populist designated itaa "a dirty rag." and threatened to haul it down. When patriotic citixan in aisled that the flag should be respected, the populist said, "It ia a good thing somebody respects it at home for it is not reseoted abroad." Blood was up to fover heat for few minutes and came near resulting in bloodshed. Such declarations would not be unex pected in Chicago where Altgeld's fol lowers are numerous j but Rainierlias borne reputation heretofore for loyalty to the stars and stripes, and the thought that one of her citizeus should be so carried away with the spirit of Altgeldism is deplorable. Not only so, but he who would insult the flag should find no quarter on Ameri can soil. It is not a partisan Has; but the emblem of all the people of this country, and '.must not, cannot, be supplanted by the red flag of anarchy. There are enough loyal citizens in Rainier to see lo it that an attempt to repeat the insult will not be healthy for the party who undertakes it. Great Aggravation. John Dart, the butoher boy, went on horseback last Tuesday to Council's place on Deer island to get a beef. Well, John arrived there, captured nice fat cow and started home with his prize. . On the return, however, John, got cold and got off to walk, making the lariat fast to the horn of Billy's saddle, and turning the horse loose to bring the beef home. Now, Billy knows just how to manage a beef, and it is no on common tiling for him to bring an an imal from miles in the country, alone. He started up the road toward Colum bia City, and things went smoothly for a time, hut by and by the cow re belled, and Billy set all of bis animal instincts in operation and made use of all (ho schemes which presented them selves.but manoeuvre as he could, that cow wouldn't move. In a little while, before the butcher hoy caught up, a minister came along, and. seeing the horse ' pulling one way and the cow the other, cut the rope to liberate them, the cow going toward home at breakneck speed, with fifty or sixty feel of rope dangling after her, and Billy remained at his post, and as near as ia possible for a dumb brute to do so, expressed utter disgust at the lib erty the preacher bad taken. John's humor whs somewhat crossgrsined, and he would not have done a thing lo that minister if he could have found him. He returned next duy and got the beef. Bkitihh Bark Ashore. The Brit ia bark Zinita went ashore near the entrance to Gray's harbor last Mon day. She is an iron vessel of 1625 tons, and lays close lo where the bark Abercorn was wrecked a few years ago. The Zinita was 40 days out irom Japan to Portland, Or., in ballast lo load wheat, and first sighted land on Sunday morning about 9 o'clock, she being then about five miles off the coast, and abreast of Quinault river. The heavy current that sets iu along the coast, and a heavy southwest gale, made it impossible for her to stand ont to sea, and at 1 o'clock she was forced to let go bolh anchors. This failed to hold her, and she gradually drifted ashore, being in similar position to the Glenmorag, wrecked north of the mouth of the Columbia. The crew consisted of 27 men, under command of James Fraser, and all were landed safely o.i shore. A dispatch from Aberdeen, Wash., containa the follow ing: "This makes, the seventh vessel that has gone ashore on the stretch of beach lying north of Gray's harbor, all of them being foreign vessels, and all atrangere to the coast, easily being caught in the same treacherous cur rent that seta in along this coast, and sucked ashore in spite of their efforts. This section of the coast is particular ly dreaded for the reason that there is no lighthouse or life-saying station within many miles, the nearest being at Willa pa harbor. If there had been telegraphic communication with the North beach, word could have beon sent in time to have lugs arrive and tow the bark out of danger, but the length of time necessary to get to Ho- quiain was fatal, and, when the tuga arrived, no help could be given. VEItNOIJIA VARIETIES. Mr. Bottom, of Jewell, visited Vernonia last Sunday. Lloyd Detrick has returned borne from Eastern Oregon. ''Mike" Emmons has returned from the Kastern Oregon mines.

In the beautiful little city of Houlton all seemed in an un easy and nervous condition, with one ex ception and that was at the minister's home where all waa quiet and settled to do an all evening's work. But soon the tide changed and all was at esse, with one ex ception and that was at tbe parsonage, for the occupants were surprised by a sudden rap al the door. Upon opening, there stood ( to the greatest surprise of tbe opener) a large number of friends with smiling faces and arms well filled. Not knowing what it all meant until tbe poor chickens began to cry for mercy, they were taken care of while tbe tables, stands, etc., were fast being loaded. Tbe evening was very pleasantly spent together in talking, laughing and singing. It was one long ta,be remembered for the complete surprise, the sociability and last but not least for both quantity and quality of the liberal donations to ns. for which we heartily thank the many kind friends, Mas. and Ma. A. Wiihert. For the Homesteader. . Oriooh Cirr, Nov. 11. Another one of the Oregon and California contests of home stead entries has been decided by Secretary Francis in favor of tbe settler, on appeal from the commissioner. This entry was by Andrew J. llagley, and included tiie west half of the southeast quarter of section 21, Hi, 5 v, being in Folk county, near Airlie. The land embraced in this claim was taken by Israel D. Dayis, in 1854. nnder tbe donation Isw. Davis never perfected title, and in 1887, bis notification was form ally cancelled. About three years ago Bagley entered a part of the land as a home stead, and the Oregon & California com pany contested, on the ground that upon the extinguishment of Davis claim, the railroad company's right attached, tbe cor poration having filed its map of definite location January 29, 1870. The secretary sticks lo the ruling that Davis' notification segregated the land from the Dublic domain. and that it remained segregated at the time ol the railroad company s selection, and. therefore, tne company ootainea no rich I to it under the grant nf congress, and, of course, cannot aispossess uagtey.
