less susceptible to such a craze than
people in other places.

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.

Tha meeting called on Tueaday of
last week by the union, at Astoria, to

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

take no step backward by putting a

Robert T. Lincoln club, of Warren,

Some people who see nothing bat

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,

for $6 per thousand. Mr. Alger waa

people love to bowl calamity where
everything indicates better times and

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.
