Tbe tren endous rise in Lewis river last Sunday resulted in washing away the store belonging to Jainee Forbes t Etus, with all its contents. The tore was located on the North Fork of Lewie river, some distance above Woodland. A sawmill located at tbe earn place was also destroyed by the irevliet. A considerable amount of other property belonging to farmers aloDg the river has been destroyed. fiver ended and Rehumed. Two Weeks ago the Rainier Review an nounced that it would suspend publi cs lion with that issue, and people opposed it was dead. But not so. A week later the Review cams out some what reduced in site under the man agement of F. G. Brown. Mr. W. M. 1'nrry has labored for several month tn make the papvr a success, but his Hurts were in vain. Mr. Brown will piobably exhaust his energies with the same result, yet we hope he will meet with success. How One Bet WaiTaid. A car pettier and a banker of thia city, says the Eugene Guard, bet a 15.00 hat on a be result of the election. The banker won and the carpenter told him to go to a certain store and buy the hat. The banker went, but concluded that 15.00 hat was more expensive than lie needed, eo bought one marked $2 60 nd purchased an umbrella with the other 12 60, the bill being charged to the cariienier. When the bill was presented to the oarpenter he refusod to pay for the umbrella, saying it was not included in the bet. The other man now baa to pay for the umbrella nd has received only a 12.60 hat when he could just as well bars bad a 5.00 one. Destructive Freshet. Perhaps the greatest rainfall recorded in the lii.iory of Oregon for the same length of time was that which occurred last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Columbia is said to have risen three feet at this point Saturday night, and for several daya the river waa full of drift, among it being houses and thousands of feet of sawloxs. The current was so swift that tbe steamer Fannie was forced to lie np a raft of logs below hers because she could not make headway in an attempt to pass toe mouth of Lewis rivor. History does not record a rise of such rapidity In the Columbia at this place as that of Saturday night. The damage to loggers who had the product of their labor in tbe small strsams has been enormous. Loss in the Cowutz. TIis great flojd uf last Sunday proved disastrous to ths loggers and shingle men on the Oowlits river. The Duniway Lumber Company had about 6000 cords of shingle bolts in the mouth of Ton tie river, and when the great rise came the boom gave way and the whola lot came down tbe Oowlitt. When this great mass of timber arrived at the mouth of Oslrander creek where Mr. Root had a large boom filled with saw logs, that boom also gave way and the whole mass of log and shingle bolts earns down the Cowlits to its mouth, where tbe large boom is looated, and supposed to have had sufficient atrsngth for all emergencies. But tbe tremendous weight of limber swept everything before it and proceeded on toward tbe sea. It took out about three quarters of a mile of the big boom as if it were nothing.' Some of the shingle bolts, however, lodged in the lower end or pocket of the Cow lils boom, bnt they are the property of several persons and cannot be identi fied as there are no marks or brands nn thm. It is said that Tom Nordby, the Shaver, also lost about 600 oords of shingle bolts at the same tima. The loss to those who owned the logs and bolts will bs great, and it will cost thousands of dollars to repair th bnom at the mouth of the Oowlitt lone. The wife of Mr. Leonard Wells, of East Briinfleld. Mass., had been suffer Ing from neuralgia for two days; not tieintr able to sleen or hardly keep still, when Mr. Holden, the merchant then sent her a bottle of Chamber Iain's Pain Balm, and asked that she give it a thorough trial. On meeting Mr. Wells the next day she was told that she whs all right, the pain had Inft her in two hours, and that the buttle of Pain Balm was worth 15.00 if it could not be had for less.

HELENS SCHOOL NOTES. Miss Mabel Way visited sohool Mondsy afternoon. robn Wellington, a former pupil, was a visitor at school Monday afternoon. Why not bav a night school tbls winter T What do yon think of It, boys and young men, wbe can not attend during tbe day. Nsxt week's lssus will contain tb qaes tlons giren in monthly sxamlnatlon In mental and writtsn arithmetic of Bavsnth and Eighth grades. iissc Friday forenoon the school wss favored with a call from County Superin tendent Watts. He addrsssed tb school In a few well timed remarks, which was grsatly appreciated by tbe pupils and the teacher. Oreat Interest Is being taken by th pa pile In their studies this winter, and most of them are doing extra studying at bom of evenings, which tells In recitations and laminations. Parents, encourage home study In your children, as thereby are ths foundations of a successful life and en at tainment of an education. If ths people of this town would erect a school home of three or four rooms aad provide for a high school In It they would taka a step toward advancement of Incalcu lable value. With a modem school home and a graded school the town would grow very rapidly and soon become a place where people ot the best class would pur chase snd build homes, so that tbeir chil dren could have the benefits of a good school. Columbia county, with ber vast resources and ssveral thousand sohool children, needs very badly a high school, sad It Is only a matter of time mull one will be founded somewhere In tbe county. Now, as St. Helens Is th county seat, and situated almost centrally, she I entitled to lt,and with it she would be tbe banner town of ths county, and ber school would be an object of pride to her citizens. Being situated as she Is on the river snd In close communication with the metropolis of tbe state, many residents of Portland and other cities adjacent, would taks advantage of her schools and facilities for com munlca- tion with Portland and purchase homes hers instead of in tbe suburbs of Portland, Tbey could live cheaper her and be r moved from tbe noise and din of a great city. At tb present prices ol building ma terial and labor, a fin building of modern design could be erected at a cost of 12500 or $3000 at tbe least, and with a prospect of better times in the near future, tbe bonds which would need be Boated for such pur poss could be eaally met when they became due, and the cost to tbe taxpayer would be nominal. quKSTtoas aud answers, The following is the questions from last week, together with the answers and whom answered by 1.
