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.

A Pleasant Surprise.
On Tuesday, after a somewhat rainy day,
the evening was calm. 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.
