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.

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

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

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.

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

vile abuses regarding our executive. How

years thou hast been blamed for the
bad spelling tbe printer nss gotten
into tbe paper. The paper baa gone
out for one dollar, and, alas I the
money has failed to come in. Tbe
printer has bedriven thee for wages
when tbon bast not a aarn tanning to
