Back From Iixikoi. Mr. Henry
XI. Doan and family arrived in Rainier
last Monday night from Sandwich,
111., where I hey went from this county
nearly four years ago. Mr. Doan was
in this city Wednesday aud to a Mist
reporter said : "Oregon is pretty good,
and I am back for the purpose for lo
cating here again." Mr. Doan waa as
sessor of this county several years ago,
and has a liott of friends, all of whom
trill be pleased to know that such a
good oilisen is again to become a per
manent realdent of our county. It
may seem strange, but it is neverthe
' less the case, that people who once
lived in Oregon, after a brief residence
elsewhere, become dissatisfied, and it
it then only a matter of time until
they drift back to Webfoot.
Am Old Cannon. Mailosrrier Luoe,
who carries the mail between Nehalem
and Cannon Beach, whils on his regu
lar route yesterday saw a funny sub
stance in the creek on Cannon Beach
in front of Mrs. Austin's bouse. It did
not look like a rock, and upon investi
gation he found one of the old brass
cannon embeddod in the creek from
which Cannon Beaoh derives its name.
Hothing much is known how they got
there. The late John Ilobson and M.
Eberman both taw the cannon in the
creek emit eften when on their way
to Tillamook buying cattle. The late
J. r. Austin spent considerable money
In trying to locate the cannon, but
never waa successful. Old-timsrs say
they came off the britr-of war Shark
Although they have been imbedded
there some flity years tbey are still In
pretty good shape. Astorian. .
Call a Mirrmro. The preposition
of a creamery being located at St.
Helena has allotted some interest
among influential farmers, aad such is
shaping for a satisfactory termination.
A number of our best oitiiens have
signified Ibeir interest in the matter
by stating what can be ezpeoted of
them, and we believe it will not be
OTer-estlmating when we state that
the product of 500 cows can be secured
tor a creamery here. Tbta number
would gradually increase, of courso,
and after a creamery had become an
established faot in our midat, the pro
duot of 1000 cows could be secured,
we firmly believe. Now, while some
Interest in this matter is manifest, a
meeting to determine the matter defin
itely and properly might be called by
some oilisen, and then hopes for suo
cess might bs entertained. Will some
. publio-spiritsd, enterprising citlsen as
sume the retpontibility of going ahead
with this proposition and call a meet
ing of our citizens that, as a commun
ity, we may consider its merits?
A Child Drownbd.-An accident
that brought sorrow and gloom to the
Lome of a happy family occurred about
nnnn laat Monday? on MnNnlty creek.
when Harry, the 8-year-old son of
Mr, and Mrs. 1. u. wmsirom, was
drowned in the creek near their home.
It is the supposition that the little fel
low had attempted to cross the creek
on a footplank, when he fell overboard
and was carried several hundred feet
down the stream. The father, only a
ahnrt flmai HalnrA Viarl narried tha boy
, from the oreek to the house, and being
kmt Anl ahntit his wnrk airain. Tha
mother misted the child but was as
sured that he was with his fullier, but
when that parent went to tha bouse
at dinner time it was then learned thst
tUm kn evaa mlnainor . Ftearnh Wat at
wj -- -
onoa instituted with the result of find
ing him lodged in a large diift about
aquaiterofa mile below the house.
He was a bright and promising ohild
and favorite with the entire family.
The funeral services were held at the
family residence on Tuetday at S

Undoubtedly Astoria will do herself
the greatest honor yet attained in her
entertainment ol tho delegates to tbe
state convention and those wbo usually
attend such meetings. The choice of
Astoria as a convention city was a wise

railroad are straining every effort to
have Ihe road completed in time to

Portland is an injured city. For

end district congressional convention,

I have given Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy a fair test and consider it one
of tbe very best remedies for croup
that I have ever found. One dose bas
always been sufficient, although I nse
it freely. Any cold my children con

cine. I can conscientiously recom
mend it for croup and colds in chil
