City Election. One week from
next Monday the annual oily eluctlon
takes place in St. Helens. At that
time a complete set of city ofHceri will
be chosen for the ensuing year. If
there ever was a time in this city's
history when it was necessary to have
thorough business men at the head of
city affairs it is the present. It is true
tht re are no fat salaried position to
be filled, but they are neverthnlms im
portant posts of duty to which none
but men of busiuesa qualifications
should bo chosen.
Good Investment. A very valuable
improvement has been marie to the

bv the addition of set of George D.

Ales, altogether being 1.15 separate
compartments, In which will he placed
the publio documents of the county.
Each compartment will be proiierly
labeled after being placed iu the vault
end only papers of a certain claa will
be placed in each. The county court
took step in the right direction In
this much needed annex to the clerk's
office, which will result in a great sav
ing of time to the clerk as wall as be
ing one ot modern convenience, tne
net cost to the county Is 1333, whioh
is the best investment made by the
county (or some time.
It Wis Swamp Laud. A decision
just received at the Oregon City land
office from the general laud oHlee con
firms the local office in recommend
ing the cancellation of the homestead
entry of Oustaf Itendrickson, who, in
1886, filed on land in the extreme
northers part of Columbia couuty. F
A. Marquem, who waa the assignee of
the stale of Oicgon under the swamp
land grant, was the contestant. It was
ehowu that the land came fully under
the provision of law making it swamp,
the larger portioa. of each tract being
subject to overflow and requiring to be
diked In order to make it lit lor cum
vation. The claimant's house Is built
on six foot stills, and nono of the
around has ever been plowed, though
email patches of a toul area of about
an acre have been spaded and veget
ablea jiave been grown thereou.
Governor Thompson's Lecture,
Ex-Governor D. P. Thompson, of Port

to Turkey during the Uairison admin
titration, will deliver lecture in
this oily next Wednesday evening.
Mis lecture will be devoted exclusively
to Turkey, the habits, customs and
characteristics of the people of that
far-off country. 1 1 will, no doubt, be a
rare treat for both old and young
especially for ltu.se who take an in
teresl iu history. Mr. Thompson's
four years residence there will enble
him to speak of the country and its
people from personal observation end
with an exactnesa that enn be clearly
understood. It was at first decided to
have the lecture tonight, but the
epeaker desired the change to Wed
nesdsy evening. The proceeds of the
lecture will be sp plied to the building
fund of the Congregational church.
Admission 25 cents; children 10 centa.
Old Story Continues. Ssllie Rice
has sued W. J. Deitt nnd W. J. Rice,
in the state circuit court, to recover
9318.87, and $34.90 costs, on a judg
ment against the Columbia Bunking
Company, of St. Helens, Or., and J. P.
Looney, atsigneJ to bar by M. L. Gove.
She alleges that the Columbia Bank
ing Company has gone out of business,
and baa no i suets, and thnl Looney i
insolvent. Rice, ahe enys, subscribed
for $3000 shares ot slock of the bank,
and haa not paid for 11500 of the
share, and Delta, she avers, owes for
91000 worth of shares. She asks that
they be required to pay into oourt so
much of these unpaid stock subscrip
tinns ss will satisfy lior claim. G. A
Msssle, J. W Kench, J. J. Miller, 0
H. Newell ad I. G. Wikslroiu were
also stockholders in te bank. Their
names are mentioned in the complaint
as having paid in a sufficient amount
of subscribed stock to entitle the bank
to organise under the luws of the state ;
but the plaintiff does not ask that they
be made responsible for the judgmer.l
which she holds. Oregon inn, Tuesday.
Orboon Statb Taxbs. On the
9143.176.615 of taxable property iu
the state, $571,702 will be paid Into
the state treasury as taxes. ' Hut little
of this vast sum can be paid out, on
ooount of failure of the legislature to
organise and rasa an appropriation
bill. Next years' taxes will follow suit
thus taking over $1,000,000 from the
neoole and out of circulation. Thia
immense contraction of the circulating
medium of the state will prove detri
mnntul. Home wav should be devised
to allow the money to remain in the
hands of the counties until needed by
the state. The stste treasurer will ob
lent to the retention of the tsx money
by the counties, as the handling of
that immense sum would mean a for
tune to him and his bondsmen. Yet
there is no iustice or common aonse
in eomiiellinir the counties to pay
money into the slate treasury when ii
cannot be used for one and two years
after date of payment. The money
should remain in the hands of the peo-
nla. lalaa h llBori hv tha Counties i

Yet. notwithstanding the above reaa-
nnatila remark until 'a COIirSe VTOUld
be contrary to the law, which provides
lor tlie payment ol state iim
a specified time each year. Law and
justice are sometimes very different.
Party Annihilation. After sum.
marislng the result of the defunct at
tempted legislature, the Astoria Budg
et, fusionist, remarks i "Thus dies the
nineteenth biennial session ot the Ore
gon legislature, which will go down in
history as a erownlng disgrace to
many who Dartioltiated it it. The
only members whoesoaped with honor
are those who held to the Bunion
house and Joint convention. The fail
ure to carry the hold-up through with
success will kill man? political leaders.
Joe Simon is seriously crippled and
must give in to Senator Mitchell.
Scott has played his last card with
Kitnon as a partner. They must separ
ate. Bourne, the wrecker, ia dead aa
the leader of any party. Young, the
aroh traitor in the populist camp, who
lead his followers into lit) Bimon
ditch, will be cast aside by his party.
U'Ken, who had an ambition to b
Tom Tongue's successor, is irretriev
ably ruined, and ha will be rulegaled
to raising and growing prunes for the
balance of his life in Clackamas county
Holt and all the big populist guns have
annihilated themselves by contamina
tion with Simon republicans. In fact
all the hold-ups are no more. It was
a big fight stubbornly fought, expen
sive to the slate."
Tub Jury Disagrees. The esse of
the state of Oregon va. Frederick Viv
ian, charged with having committed
assault and battery ou J. D. Birtlaall,
came on for hearing before a jury of
six men in Justice Clark's court last
Saturday. The esse occupied the en
tire day and was given to the jury
about 7 e'clook in the evening. A
curious crowd atleuded the trial all
day, which at times became very amtis
lug, and at other times anything but
pleasing. J lie Jury retired, and in a
short lime it was discovered there waa
a great difference of opinion, and after
several hours the oourt sent Inilrno
lions to return a sealed verdict into
court Monday morning at 9 o'clock
About 7 o clock Sunday morning the
jury agreed to disagree, but the just
ice wus out ol town and they could
not be discharged until Monday.
When court waa called Monday and
the verdict read the jury was die-
chsrgml. Ordinarily a new trial would
have been had, but at this point the
court required the prosecuting witness
to give bonds in the sum of $100 fur
the costs before proceeding further,
The complainant failed to do this and
the case waa dismissed.
Uermanm Appointed. Congress
man Hermann baa been appointed
commissioner of the general land
office by President McKinley. This is
one ol the must important appoint
menta to be made by the president
and Oregon republicans should be
gratified to have it come to this stale.
Mr. Hermann's selection ought, and
no doubt will, give general satisfaction
to the republicans, at least. Hermann
hus at ali times been a faithful repre
tentative of the people while in con'
gress and he can be ot further ma'
turial service in thia new position.
Fishinq Will Bkoin. On the 10th
of April the fishing season (or salmon
begins, though the indications are that
fishing will again be interrupted thi
year by a strike, since it is apparent
that the lower river fishermen are not
satisfied with the price dUWed by the
packers. A strike at Astoria, however,
usually prove a good tiling wr we
fishermen here, as it elves the fish a
chance to reach this point. The boys
here are making all necessary prepa
rations far such a condition.
