Hews. During the put few days Tbs Mist bai mads some Inquiry with reference to tbe wages paid now and ons yeir ago, and while it wai lmpoulbls to reach all thoes mentioned In the above Item, oerae of them have expressed themselves frsely in tbs matter, and others have voluntarily mads itatemeaw. Hear what they have to say; H. Weit, Scappooae, farmer: "Last year men wsre banting work and offering to work for SO cents and TS cents per day, and five men tor svery job. At present men are getting from ft to 11.20 per day, and Ave lobs for svery msn. Ons form band told me that he bad fire different men after blra In ons wisk, sad tbey offered gl.28 per day." Frank Dow, Bauvles Island, dairyman: "I pay my bands SO.OO per mentb more tbia yesr tbsa I did lost, an advance or 93H percent.". James Muckle, of Mookle Bros.: "Tbs men employed by wbo work in tbe tim ber snd on our farms receive 90.00 per month mere then tbey did last year, an in ereoee or 23 per eent." 0, W. Mayger, ef Tbe Msyger Co., wood dealers: "We ars now employing about sixty men In getting out wood. Thoss wbo work by tbe dsy receive 25 eent a day mere than tbey did one year ago, while the men hauling receive 8 cents per cord advance over lost yesr which would be an Increase of about 1 per day for a msn and team. We are unable to get all the men we want notwithstanding the advance in wages for the reason that there Is no one Idle wbo desires employment. . The Astoria railroad contractors have advanced wsges of com mon laborers 25 eente a day, now paying fl.75 Instead of tl.00 per day. A nun and asa receive 13.50 per dsy on tbe ralUood." i. M. Cooper, Warren : "Farm hands In in this section receive 25 cents per dsy ad vance over last year." ; II, L. Co) fin, Marshland, logger: "Some of my men receive 15 per month more than last year, while nearly all of them receive an advaocs ever two years ago. Tbe reason wages for loggers have not advanced more Is because last spring when men were be ing employed for the summer the demand tor logs wss not good. It Is my belief, however, that men being hired now receive on sa avsrage ot So per montn advance, and In ons instance, namely, Mr. Frank Lonkey, a chopper, employed by Thomas Boyle, receives an advance of tlO per month over bis wages early in tbe present season. Ia no single Instance do I know of loggers' wsges being decreased this year." Herman MernU, Clatskanle: "Last year I blred men to work in baying at ft per day, giving tbem tbeir dinners in addition. Thli year I paid 11.50 per day snd dinner for tbe same work." U. Burfoid, Clatskanle, teamster: "Men with teams wbo hsul shingles from the mills to the steamer landing are getting an advanoe of 20 per cent over the figure of six months ago." A prominent shingle manufacturer, ot Clatskanle, says; "I pay 20 per cent more new for shingle bolts than six months ago. A nnmber ot men are engaged ' getting out bolts." A man was engaged for pack- lag shingles last week at an advance of 25 cents per day. He Is employed at Duron A Go's. mill. Will b Rebuilt. The work ot ex tending tbe wood flume further np Milton creek bas been commenced by the wood company. The flume will be extended 14 miles up the orsek at present and that part of the flume which baa been in use for a year or more will be changed into a "V" shape instead of being flat bottom. Mr. C. W. Mnvaer ia now interested in the enterprise, and it is now expeoted the property win no put on a paying sun.

RniniThii Ttlant cuuua i of tbe big roller mills at Pendleton, owned by Mr. Byers, was destroyed by fire last Monday morning, the confla gration being caused by spontaneous oombustion. The large warehouie, wbich wae supposed to be fire proof was also destroyed, with ite contenti of bv.uuu ouineis 01 wneai nuu vw barrel! of flour.

Tbeir pay has now been railed tofzperoay. uonauneu, who had ocosiion to employ a number of laborers yesterday, when informed that wsges would be t2 per day, said hs was glad of it. Ol course a con tractor figuring on a job now will make his estimate enough higher to balance the rise in wages, so that il ii all the same to him whether he payi half dollar does not come out of his pocket. Bricklayers are still working lor eo.ou per uav . eight hours, which is the rate fixed by their union, and as there is but little work in their line going on, there is little probability of any advance in their wages at present, but they ex pect sn sdvance in the spring to 9 or $4.60 per day.

Fopbsm is qultee skillful meobsnlo and is doing railroad work st good wiges. Ansea Orwlg and family are now estab lsbed In the Rlrervisw hotel ready for cus tomers. Miis Oopsland, ot Woodland, Wash., a very successful school teacher, ipent Mon day in town:',. Daniel Dixon, sr., drove Into town last Monday with his horse and buggy. He drives a good rig. , Henry Doerr bos returned from Boss lsnd, B. 0., whether permanently or not Is not known by this writer. Dr, Hall wai in St. Helens Tuesday to as sist In organizing a board of pension ex aminers for Columbia county. A Are st Myers' bouse one day last week was discovered In time to be sxtlngulsbed before much damage was dene. Mrs. Lee and Mrs. lirewlck are cleaning the sohool house this week and getting it in good shape fer tbe opening of school next week.'- Our cooper, D. G, Aldridge, seems to be about the builest man In town lately, and Is getting out new barrels at a rapid rate to supply an urgent demand. Rev. Shannon and family returned on Wednesday morning from a visit to Hills bore and Portland. Tbey take op tbeir abode with us for another year. It Is eminently proper now that since Prof. Wbltten and bis wife ars both en gaged to teach onr school ibe should have charge of the primary department Phil Popham did not go hopplcklng but bu been doing good work for tbe railroad company at splendid wsges for one of bis sge, and he already begins te feel like s capitalist. David Davis snd wife visited onr town Monday. Mrs. Davis remained to spend a little Urns with Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Con yen, while Mr. Davis returned that even ing to do dnty st tbe county seat. Ed Page has some of the prettiest apples on exhibition at bis store window that we have seen this fall. Both he and Krats havs bandied a great deal of fruit this sea son, most of which bss been excellent In quality and demonstrates that Colombia oounty does not have to take a back seat as a fruit producer. Charley Lindgren li bringing over from the Mebalem valley a considerable quantity of baled bay which is being stored for market. Tbe price of hay seems to be on tbe ap grade lately. Adam Barr, near town, has been baling quite a quantity, which Is ready for market when be gets an offer to suit him. A good hay crop this fall seems as good ss a good wheat crop and will benefit this section more. Hux A Co., Including Tom Laws, Arthur Qulgley and Marion Fowler, have moved tbeir camp to the Karavon place, and are filling a grada along where the house and barn used te stand. Olson's men are work ing at the rocky point on tbe Fisk place and hauling dirt out over what tbe dredger has thrown up en the survey over the prairie on that place, while Anderson A Allen are busy at work with what men and teams they can get, making a Oil at and below Mayger A few days more ot pleasant weather will see the railroad work pretty well completed between Clatskanle and afoyger. So far as we know all the hopplckers from tbii vicinity have returned, bringing with them more or less coin as a result of their enterprise. More or less seems to ex press their condition, some declaring they bad mors fun than money, lome had more wet weather to contend with tbsa working days, but st least one brought back with her mors than she took away In the shape of sore hands and face from poisoning at Ike work. Hopplcklng seems an enjoy able occupation when the weather is favor able, but this season has not beea a very attractive one on account of the rain that continued during several days. All have returned, however, with the single excep tion of Ibe child ot Mrs. Metcalf, wbo was severely burned, and it is at tbe hospital In Portland with its mother. The ranch of 0. Lovegren Is sn interest ing illustration of what can be accomplished by work. Locating In the midst of a heavy growth of fir Umber, with the aid of a few boys he has in a few years a farm cleared and thoroughly cleaned, too, and ia an ex cellent state of cultivation. Fruit trees have been planted and this year his prone crop is so large he despairs of trying: to find a market for his green fruit and is hav fns a dryer and evaporating apparatus built to take care ot it until he can find a market for shipment He has plenty of strawberries in aesson, and ii considered one of our best butter makers, his butter being eagerly sought after. He is one msn tbat can farm tor profit under as great nat ural disadvantages as anyons in the neigh borhood, but to do so does not spend much time in discussing financial problems for the nation or In giving advice about how this government should be run. He is sat isfied to work for his living on bis own place and is reaping the reward of honest toil, an example for many who do other wise. ' The marriage ef Professor Whltten and Miss Abbie Bryant of onr city on Wednes day of last week, while not unexpected, surprised our people In the quiet way It was done. It was not unusual for the professor to go to Portland as he did last week, and It was a very easy thing to stop effatBt Helens, secure a license, return Wednesday morning, get married the same day before people were aware of what was in the wind, and take the steamer the same evening with his bride for another trip to Portland. It waa all too sudden, however, and did not Just suit us, bnt now tbat it Is done we bave made up our minds to accept the sit iiatlnn and extend congratulations. But Just think of it. No brilliant assemblage, ne renorter to describe how the bride looked in her charming costume, or at what hour tbe aeremony took place, no one to play tbe wedding march, no report of the num erous and costly presents, and no nothing, only the report later in tbe day that tbey were married by Bev. 8hannon. It ia too bad. Tbs Miit might have had a column of particulars, and the Chief, why, tbe Chief man would have been beside himself with delight at tna write-up he wai going to give them. The couple missed tbecbance of a lifetime and we missed tbe particular!, but we did not miss seeing the furniture that came down on the steamer Monday morning and was taken to the bouse newly fitted up In anticipation of this event. Nor did we miss hearing tbe sound of the tauk hammer since as the carpets were being put In place, but did miss hearing what the loving bridegroom said as be tried to fit the Joints of stove-pipe together as be put up the stove. It is not beat to hear everything. VERJVOfllA OLF,";IHO. The hopplckers are returning. Harvest time is a thlag of the past. Bberiff Bice was a Veraonia visitor tbs Brat of the week. Bev. F. M. Fisher returned from Sunny- side tbe first of tbe week. Our blacksmith, Wra. Allen, la kept busy these days fixing the farmers' plows, to. Mrs. 0. Mow left on Monday for Center- villa to visit her mother, Mrs. Armstrong. Bert Mead was a Veraonia visitor Friday. He reports everything prosperous on Peb ble creok. Carrol Ksssey paid the county seat a visit Saturday, He is running a freight wagon for a change. There are more bachelors and widowers te the square mile in this valley than any otber place on the globe. Bev. Palmer made a flying visit to the Bnrn last Friday. He inform! us that bii wife Is very sick at present. Mr, Ed Throop left Wednesday morning for the hopflelds, where his family are picking. He expects to return soon. Thomas Anderson Is having a neat res idence built on his ranch on the Upper river, James Turk being the architect Frank Malmsten visited Yankton tbe latter part of last week. Frank thinks some of going Esst in tbe near future. Why don't the cem missions' get a move on themselves and inspect the Taylor bridge, wbich is becoming quite rickety. Mr. Nelson, from Clatskanle. passed through our city Thursday on his wsy to Independence, wbere he has two brothers residing. Samuel Mow started for Centervllle Fri day morning. He intends to bring his wifs and mother-in-law home with him when hs returns. Beef csttle srs st a premium in this val ley at present yet the pops cry: "Wbere Is that McKlnley prosperity yon republi cans promised last fall?" Mr. B. D. Blakeley returned Thursday to bis ranch on Bock creek. Mr. Blakely bai been sojourning In Southern Oregon the past spring and summer. A. Shannshan and Samuel Mow paid the gristmill at Pittsburg a visit Thursday. Ws are told the mill is kept quite busy grinding the golden grain. We notloe among the late arrivals from the hopflelds the families of I. Spencer and 8. Hosford, Win Mellinger and Mrs. Wm Wilson and daughters, Ida and Dessie. We are Informed by the returning hop plckers that Mrs. Curtis, sr., and Mrs. Wood and Quo. Rice met with an Interest ing reception by a few Infuriated yellow Jackets when tbey were in the hopyards. Mr. Omar 8pencer closed a very success f ul terra of school at Braunsport last Thurs dsy and left on Saturday for University Park, wbere he will attend school this win ter. Omar will be greatly missed by his friends and schoolmates, as be was among tbe foremoit in his studies and literary work. It la a noticeable fact that all this har- rangoe which meets -oar gaxe in populist print concerning the non-appearance of prosperity, originates from persons who do not possess anything, never did or ever will. In this valley we hsve hod more cattle-buy ers this summer than ever before. Some of oar popocrats will sit around on the bosom of their trousers and atter the most vile abuses regarding our executive. How could such people be aware of returning prosperity T Get out and go to work en your farnrttf yon are men, and do not sit around on nail kegs and spend all yonr lime "pintln'" and telling what "you would do if you was there," for ten chances to one if yen were yon would skip by the nearest road to Canada or South Africa, as some have done in the post A Care fer Billsms Colle.
