Tbe battle-ship Maine, which waa ordered to Havana, Cuba, some time since, waa wrecked by an explosion of powder in one of her forward metre- sinea while lying in the harbor at that place at V;0 Tuesday nieht. Over 2fi0 of tbe craw were killed and many wounded. Tha Spaniards ara aaid to be assisting in earing for the dead and wounded. An immediate investigation baa been ordered by the navy depart ment. It is believed the vessel can be saved, or, if ancb ia not possible, con siderable valuable ordnance, at least, can be aaved. No accusations of treachery are yet made, but the in vestigation may develop information of that character. Mr. Arthur George ie the victim of St. Helena' petty thief thia time. His loss ia that of a good gill net, valued at about 175, which waa taken from his carpenter shop Monday night. Tbe front door of the building waa broken open, and the net hauled out and ear ned away. Mr. George had recently purchased a supply of new twine, and intended enlarging the net for a suc cessful season's work. The loss, just at thia time, works considerable bard ship upon Mr. George, because ha had made every calculation upon thia sea son's work with his net. Mr. C. W. Mayger, of the flume company, informs us that during the first month of tbe operation of the flume there were sold 600 cords of wood for which there wera received 11000. We are also informed that about 75 per cent of the amount re mained in tbe locality in which tbe wood waa cut. It ia easily to be aeen that the flume is proving e-succeas to both its owners and tbe whule com munity, and aa lime gees on ita bene fits will be greater. I have given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a fair test and considor it one of the very best remedies for croup that I have ever frund. One dose baa always been aufclenl, although I use it freely.

It is tiroDhesied bv many that there will be a very light freshet in the Columbia this year, and it is sin cerely hoped they are correct in their calculations. Indeed indications are not very favorable for a very hih water, as tha winter haa been mild, and little enow ia aaid to have fallen in tbe mouotaina, compared with former years. It Is a deplorable state of affairs when a community has to Buffer in sult after insult from a contemptible petty thief. No one knows when their properly is safe, and, further than that, life miirbt be in danger. Such contemptible acta reflect diaoredit on tha whole oommuuity, . All members of Avon lodge, K. ot P., intending to attend tha celebration in Portland tomorrow are requested to be in St. Helena in time to take passage with the whole lodge on the afternoon boat Clerk Weed issued a marriage li cense tbis week to Jjertus u.

Mr. and Mrs. George Mayger are comfortably quartered in apartments in the Oriental hotel, having moved up from Mayger Unt Thursday. THE LUMBEH SITUATION. Better Prospects Than Have Main tained tot Years. Aeeordlng to the statements of rrrW" tatlve lumbermen, tbe lumber situatioa at the present time presents a niore favorable aspect than it bas tor years. Not only have prices advanced, bat tbe demand Is increas ing, and mills that are now running only during ths day expect to be running on full time, which means a day shift and night shift, by the first of next month. Tba new schedule of prices went Into efftct on ths 20th of laat month, and mills are kept busy tilling orders at tbe increased rates. All the common grades ot lumber have been advanced on an average of 60 eents a thousand, while the higher grades have gone op ft a thouaaad. Daring the past four years tha demand for lumber bas enly been 40 per cent of ths capacity of tbe Pacific coast mills. This year tbe demand will ge as high as, 78 per cent, of the milling capacity, If not higher. Tba demand for lumber tbis month as compared with the same month last year bas increased (ally SO per cent, and aa the building season baa not yet even opened op, this Is a material improvement. There is considerable lum ber sold by Portland mills ia Eastern Ore gon and Washington, Idaho, Colorado, and parts of Montana, and as Uie building sea son In these sections does not start In until the snow leavea the ground, tba 00 per cent Increase in demand is confined almost ex clusively to tba export trade. There is a good demand for Oregon lumber from Cal ifornia and also from Alaska, and much more would be shipped wars the transpor tation facilities better. There is a shortage of vessels, and tbis is proving a serions ob stacle to the lumbar trade. Tbe Alaska trade is proving a great benefit in disponing of large quantities of low-grade lumber tbat has accumulated during the past year. Tba advance in prices of lumber is said to bs due not alone to tbe Increased de mand, bat also largely by reason of the fact that the cost of all supplies that furnish a plant, such as machinery, belting, etc., have gone op. Everything in this line ia higher tban it was a year ago. On tba whole tha outlook for the lumber trade is said to be better than it has been for year. Tbe shingle trade is also looking op well. On the first ot this month all tbe Washing ton mills that were closed by agreement last fall, being about 85 per cent of all mills in the state, wera started up. As there are aba at 100 mills in the state, giving employ ment to about 20 men each, about 3000 men were given work with the resumption of operation. The average pay of shingle-mill banda being $2 a day, this means a daily pay-roll of $16,000, or about $416,000 a month. Astoria Budget. Every Industrial report shows continued Improvement In all lines of trade. No bet ter argument ia needed than atatements like the following from a aon-partisan com mercial journal : "Tbe Industrial situation is satisfactory. Extensive strikes have taken place in the New England cotton in dustry against a reduction of wages; bat tbe consequent curtailment of production is benefitting raannfaclarers, and there Is little anxiety over the future. Ctber indus tries are well employed. Tbe outlook for tba Iron trade continues hopeful. Wheat strain passed tbe dollar mark, touching tl 04, and exports present and prospective are exceeding heavy. Laat wek 4,000,000 bushels were shipped from American ports, compared wHh leas tban 1,000.000 bushels same week last year. The vivible supply of wheat In this country is S7.800.O00 bushels sgainat 62.400,000 bushels a year ago. The lialies Obronicle. .. ' At tbe primaries is tbe most practi cal place to let your choice be known for men to fill tbe vaiioua county, distriot and state offices, and in con sideration of this fact it la of the great est moment that every voter attend the primary election. There you have an opportunity to say whom you shall or shall not be represented by in tbe oounty convention. Many times voters remain away from the primaries and the outcome of the election doea not suit them. . When all voters attend tbe primaries results are alwaya much more satisfactory. It ia with a keen appreciation of what it meaua to the Columbia river section that wa note tbe rise in the price of lumber and tba increased ac tivity ia the logging; and lumber in dustry. People of the entire cxwst sec tion are keen to see the revival, know ing, aa they do, tbat our chief stock in trade liea in this one industry. The advent of renewed activity along theee lines will be received with delight by every honest oi linen, and heralded broadcast, since everybody will feel the good effects. Let us all do our selves honor by assisting in thia, our chief enterprise, and a return of the once lively times In tbis line of trade will be experienced. The decision rendered Monday by the Oregon supreme court as to the right of women to vote at school elec tions, applies to districts with a popu lation of 1000 and upwards. The de cision is based on that section of the statute which saya: ; "In all school districts in this State with a population of 1000 and upwards, any citizen of this state shall be entitled to vote at a school meeting who ia 21 yeara of age, and has resided in the district 30 daya immediately preceding the meeting, and baa property in the distriot upon which be or aha paya a tax."
