Btorb and Sawmill Destroyed.
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.

Weeks ago the Rainier Review an

opposed it was dead. But not so. A
week later the Review cams out some

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.

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.

In th case of J. B. Montgomery vs. th

tor , new ,rU, nd ordered judgment on
the verdict. Joseph 8imon.conn.el for th.
railroad company, has prepared a bill of
exceptions, which baa not yet been filed.
The suit waa brought to recover the value
of about 8000 acres of land, which Mr.
Montgomery purchased from the company
in 1875 and to which the United Btates su
preme court decided In 1891 that the rail
road company had no title at the time ot
sale. Suit was brought In the United
States court in Portland to recover the
amount paid for the land with Interest, and
on May 28 last the Jury found a verdict for
plaintiff and assessed his damages at fM,-
405.84, of this $18,789.53 being principal, and
$37,615.66 for interest. The ground on
which the company refused to pay the
amount demanded was that payment tor
the land had been made In Northern Pa
oific bonds, whioh were worth much less
than their face.

McGILVERY-POPHAM At Clata
kanie, Monday, November 16, 1896,
Mr. Angus McGilvery and Miss Nel
lie Popham, both of Clatekanie.
This waa the mstrimonal event of
tbe season. The marriage, however,
was not a surprise, inasmuch as the
groom expectant had rented a house
and furnished it in advance, and tbe
bride expectant would occasionally
drop in to give some suggestions or
oiler some assistance tbat migbt be
needed, but there was general satisfac
tion expressed when it was learned
that the wedding ws to take place in
the chuich, and an invitation extend
ed to any who might wish to be pres
ent. Mr. J. A. English and Miss
Campbell undertook the task of dec
orating tbe church, and with some as
sistance succeeded in making a bower
of beauty, arrangingchryaanthemums,
geraniuma and other flowers, with
ivy, myrtle and such evergreens as
produced most harmoulous and pleas
ing effects. Pretty tables were brought
in on which pretty lamp were lighted
to add brilliancy, and the general ex
pression heard upon entaring the
bouse wag "is n't it pretty? " At 7 :30
doors were opened and the room wat
soon filled with a brilliant audience.
At 8 p. m. the aignal waa given Miss
Cora Blackford, who was st tbe organ,
to commence the wedding march.
Immediately the double door were
thrown open and two young maidens,
Annie English and -Leota Merrill, en
tered, followed by Meisis. George
Tichenor and Oscar Elliott, and these
followed by the lady and gentleman
to be married, tbe bride wearing white
cashmere trimmed with lace, and car
rying a bouquet of white chrysanthe
mums tied with white ribbon, the
groom wearing a suit of blsck. March
ing up tbe middle aisle toward the
chancel, tbe ladies and gentlemen sep
arated, leaving room for the bridal
couple in the center. The minister
proceeded to perform lhe ceremony
according to the ritual of the church,
and after pronouncing the couple man
and wife, introduced Mr. and Mrs.
McGilvery to tbe audience. General
congratulations followed before the
party left the church for their newly
furnished home, where tbey are now

The I deal Panacea.
James L. Francia, Alderman, Chicago,

as an Ideal Panacea for ail coughs, colds
and lung complaints, having used it in my
family for the last five years, to the exclu
sion of physician's prescriptions or other
preparations." Rev. John Burgus, Keokuk,
Iowa, writes: "I have been a minister of
the Methodist Episcopal church for 50 years
or more, and hav never found anything so
benefloial, or that gave me such speedy re
lief a Dr. King's New Discovery." Try
