St. Helens may soon have a real.
full-fledged, up-to-date bowling alley.
Partiea are figuring on embarking in
the enterprise, and we believe it can
be made a paying investment. Bowl

time, and St Helens people are no
less susceptible to such a craze than
people in other places.

A Englishman named .John Wall

Mr. Collins' place, near Scappooee,

Mankind is not to be judged bv the
insolence' of some men, but as rule
the migratory element are not too
good to resort to almost any means to
secure their ends. Tuesday morning
there was one of those contemptibly
mean dispositioned fellows in town,
who swore at and blackgarded women
and cursed and abused men because
they would not feed him. We believe
one would be justified in resorting to
any means at bad to protect them
selves from this element. When a
man becomes so hopelessly degraded
as to resort to all kinda of abusive lan
guage because people refuse to give
him food he should be severely dealt
with. If visits from this element be
come any more frequent the oity will
be compelled to afford police protec
tion. Fortunately for the fellow he
got away before the constable could
be notified of his doings.

Tbe agent of a colony of 100 Swed
ish families haa been in Oregon for
some time. His colony would come
to this state if tha cultivation of flax
for fiber were one of the established

people, and would make a most desir
able addition, to our population.
Tha meeting called on Tueaday of
last week by the union, at Astoria, to
determine the price qf fish, was fairly
wall attended. After a discussion of
lie subject it was deemed the wiser
policy to postpone any action on the
matter until nearer the opening of tbe
season, when the condition of tbe
market could be more accurately de
termined and an amicable agreement
readied between tbe cannerymen and
fishermen.
Oregon farm landa are beginning to
have an actual cash market value
again, and men are coming into Doug
las county every day from the Eastern
states, wbo want to buy farms. Con-
ittons are changing for tha better all
over Oregon, and by next year, if we
take no step backward by putting a
lot of irresponsible agitators in power
in Uregnn, we will apain be riding on
tha creatof a wave of prosperity, lays

It is, or should be, tbe highest aim
ot every merchant to please his cus

Robert T. Lincoln club, of Warren,
had a lively meeting Wednesday. The
members are at work in earnest, and
that part of the precinct tbia year can
be depended upon to do its full duty
in the campaign. Tbe club has beeu
meeting each alternate Wednesday
evening, but at its last meeting it was
decided to meet each W edneaday even

The club bas a corps of efficient
officers, and its effects will be fell by

Since we had not chanced to pass
that way sines last fall, tbe faot that a
new, handsome dwelling adorns the
site accupied for many years by a
house which was built by tbe former
owner of the property now owned by
Frank Meeker, on the road to Colum

notice. . Since Mr. Meeker has owned
the place he haa made many improve

Tbe repairs to the steamer Bailey
Gatzort, which haa beeu lying disabled
at tha Alder-street dock aince her ea
cotinter with the ateel bridge aome
weeks ago, are well on toward comple

ready to go into commission again.
The staterooms oa both tbe hurricane
and main decks have been replaced

ing given to the work. Two new hog
posts have been set up on the steamer

her. When tha Gatzert reaumes her
run she will be as good if not better
than aver before.
A crossed woman and a crossed elec

A BEiUOUS GUNSHOT WOTJ8D,

of an accidant to Mr, Watts, but, as ths re

Some people who see nothing bat
duster ahead declare that the price
of shingles and lumbar is' no better
than it was two or .three rears atro.
says tbe Kelso Journal. One free sil
ver and free trade enthusiast states
that shingles were only tl per thous
and and sawioga f4 M per thousand,
Here are tbe facta as they exist in the
Kelso market: Knapp & Du aold
shingles that bad laid at tbe Kelso
wharf in tbe rain and mud, for f 1.15
per thousand spot cash. AlKr bas re
ceived $5.50 per tbonsand for hia loga,
and refused to let a raft go thia week
for $6 per thousand. Mr. Alger waa
n town tbia week and Messrs. Wed
lock and Lyons, of the Coweeman
boom, know that tbe Journal apeaka
the troth. We do not understand why
people love to bowl calamity where
everything indicates better times and
todays prices are far ahead of what
they have been.
Laat Monday evening pursuant to
call the annnal school meeting of dis
trict Ho. z was held in tbeachoolhousa
in this city. The report of tha clerk
for the past year was submitted and
accepted. Dr. H. B. Cliff waa elected
director for three years and Mr. . .
Quick was re-elected clerk. The busi
ness of settling with the bondsmen of
the previous clerk, C. H. Newell, was
brought on, and the bandsmen, Jaa.
Muckle and E. . Qmok, stated that
they were willing to pay tba district
150 each rather than allow tbe matter
to go into tbe courts. After due con
sideration th voters of the district
uthorized tha directors t make set
tlement with tha bondsmen along tha
line of the proposition submitted by
them. Tbe shortage, aa we understand
it, ia about $240, and wa believe ths
diatrict acted judiciously In offering to
compromise on the matter. History
ot bond cases leads np to tha knowl
edge that their collection is an uncur
tain quantity, and any amount recov
ered on a bond ia so much gained.
