have recently set up a new planer.
ilibbert A Bona are practical mill men
tud make a aucccaa of their buiiueaa.
A Gom Outlook. Tbe fishing era
ton of 1888 augura well. With a tat
tled price, free from all bickering; and
trife, tha fUliermen and cannerymeo
can go ahead with their calculation
without any Interruption. The low
atage of the river will be of benefit to
the seines and trap, while the glllnet
tar wilt be more evenly diitributed
aleog tba river than la yean accom
panied by big freshets, when the cur
rent makes drilling, except at the
mouth, impossible. If tha aalmon ran
is abundant and tbe price of log re
main elationary, the lower Columbia
will regain tome of il former glory.

Back im this Timrh Bushum.
Tboma Devine, who waa intereeted in
Iniying and Milling limber land In the
Northwest fur some tlx year, and who
went baok to Dulutb about three year
ago, where he hat aince been engaged
iu lumbering, etc., baa returned to Ur
gon to atay. He ia goinfr Into the
timber land business, and taye there
will be quite an influx of lumbermen
liere till summer, after they have en
their log alel in the booms. The
timber Und in Michigan, Minnesota,
and Wiaoonain are in the band of a
very few persona, and men who have
money to iuvett in that kind of prop
erty muat (trikeontand find new field
to operate In. He says there i eure
to be a lot of timber landa change
hand in thi region thia season.
Dikd raou Quit-BiioT Woukd. The
14-year-old son ol Mr. Croaby.of Yank
ton, met with an accident on Thursday
of last week which caused hi death.
Tbe boy wai out pheasant hunting in
the vioioily of Mr. Charlea Brings'
jilsce. He bad Just ahot a bird and
wa in tba act of reloading the gun,
when it was aocidentily diaoliarged, the
content entering hi left groin and
penetrating tha inleslioea. Dr. Ross
was sum mooed, who dressed tba in
jured parte, and later in the day tele
graphed for Dr. Cauthorn, of Portland,
who arrived on tbe nightboat, and tbe
two physician did all in their power
to tat the young man' life. Dra.
Boat and Cliff continued to adminis
ter to the young man's comfort, and
aome bone was entertained for hi life,
but on Saturday morning the fatal
heur arrived and death occurred. Tha
remains were laid to rest on Sunday.
LooaiNO or Coat Cw. Elmer
and Nela Huntington, of Castle Eock,
will open new logging camp on Coal
creek tha flrt of next week, their
boarding house and buildinga being
ready for occupancy. Mr. E. B. Por
ter, also of Caaile Bock, will open a
camp at tha came time, making two
ew camp to open on that creek.
Uoraea will be used In hauling log at
preaent. Elmer Huntington bad a
chat with tba Journal man regarding
tha outlook for the lumber business,
and among other thing said: "I have
been waiting five year for busiues to
revive and am confident there ia now
an opportunity to make aome money
in tha logging business. Our entire
output ia contracted at good price
and no tpeciflo length for log is re
quired. Of course w have one order
for a very desirable length and war
much (urprised to receive a letter from
that firm atating that an unlimited
amount of logs of that length would
be accepted, and I am feeling pretty
good over the order. A.U our logs will
. be accepted and paid tor as fast as cut."
Fishiko S-asoh Oprhd. The aal
mon fishing season of 18U8 opened last
Sunday, but not so encoaraKiogly a
It did a year ago. Mr. Sheldon, who
is buying at thi place for the Eureka
cannery, (hipped what iieh were in
Sunday evening, amounting to about
two ton, and on Monday shipped
bout 1500 pounda more. The price
paid thia aeason is 4 unfits, and it i
believed tbe price will go no lower,
with prospect good (or an advano
instead. Many salmon will be bought
this season for shipment East, and it ia
grgued that this fact will tend to keep
up the price, or even raise it, In which
Instance fishermen will, all the season,
find a ready market for their catch at

Toluma of water in tha river, which
may be expected to arrive now at any
time. Bach a acarcity of fish during
tha month of March haa never been
known before, but it i hoped and con
fidently expected tha run will increase
with warmer weather and more water.

...iii.inini ui the Oregon Wood
v.U....ny ,a . T0mlty ihe bt
oaany increasing volume of
tiuoe, not only In the wood
business, but In ot,or ijnfi
The amouat of wood ..ld during
March exceeded that .old in any pre.
v oue month by over 200 cords, and
the ulc during the first week in April
amounted to 202 cords, and the oner
ator here are greatly ploased and en
couraged. Tha oompany it at present
laboring under a few disadvantage,
which, however, they hop to toon
overcome. Tha first I tha lack of
wharf room, and tha disadvantage at
tha present time is offset by the faot
that there I to tittles wood oa hsnd
that mure room on the wharf on that
account i not needed. The first of
the week there wera less than Ann
cord in the timber, but tha cutter
are industriously prosncutlno- that
work. Another disadvantage Is th
scarcity of men to cut wood. Tbe
company is very anxious to increaae
the number of cutler 20 or 25 man.
but they cannot be had. OiIim klml.
of employment Is taking laborers away,
ana it is witn great diUloulty that
enough men are kenl to keen uo the
amount of wood for which tbe com
pany has demand at the wharf. The
price of cutting haa been advanced to
75 cent per oord, yet wilb thi In
ducement men are not to be found. If
sufficient cutting could be had more
wrmrr room would be (untitled and a
greater volume of business transacted.
Easts:. Services. Eatter Sundav
la St. Helena waa fittingly observed.
At 11 o'clock services were conducted
in the Congregational church by tbe
Sunday school. The church was very
nicely decorated with wild flowers and
lotted plants, and tha many recitations
and songs wera in beautiful remem
brrnce of the occasion. Immediately
following thi service Bev. Mr. Haley
preached an able aermon on "The
Power of tbe Kuaurrection." In tha
evening Mr. "Haley also preach in hi
own church, hi theme being "Tbe In
evitablenes of the Resurrection." The
evening service was begun at 7 :15 and
concluded in time to attend tbe ser
vice at lb Episcopal church, con
ducted by the Bev. Dr. Weatherdnn,
of St. Stephen' chapel, Portland. The
choru of twsnty voice, tha choruster
and organist of that obapel accom
panied their pastor, and the same ser
vice conducted in Portland that fore
noon was held here in tha eveuing.
Tha church was nicely decorated and
tha service, inoluding the pastor's dis
course, waa duly appreciated. About
9 o'clock the visitor were escorted to
Mssonio ball, where a luncheon wa
in waiting. Later in the evening the
visitors were taken care of at the differ
ent reaideuce In low 3, and at 6:80
Monday morning they aped away on
the Young America for Portland.
Actios Should b Tims. Tba
pleasant weather obtaining tbe paat
few daya, and tha innumerable Indica
tion of rapidly approaching pnng
enliven the spirit of mtn and all na
ture aeemt to smile. How glorioa a
season and what responsibilities it
brings forth. Tbe fanner, with bis
keen appreciation, outline hi daily
work, and those interested in other
line of trade and industry are making
their calculations for the summer. Tbe
badding spring indicate many dutie
and responsibilities, and among tbem
each bamlet and village Is called upon
to prepare for health and cleanlineas.
Coming spring should also suggest to
householder that thia i the season
when their back yards should receive
their closest attention. The unavoid
able accumulation thereof filth during
tba inclement months demands a
heroio cleansing of these yard, for
sanitary reason. A foul back yard
thraatana not onlv tha health of those
in tba dwelling to which il beUigs,
but it menace the contiguous neigh
borhood with con ta Kiou diseases.
Mnoh water properly applied is ona of
tha surest disinfectants in tnoae oases.
Th Storoboii Bubih8. It is not
so very long ago that sturgeon wera
caught by the tboasands in Columbia
river flsbwheeis ano'inrowo away ur
used for fertilizer. Dressed sturgeon
now sell in Portland for 8 oents per
pound, and sturgeon eggs for caviar
for 60 cents per pound. The whole
sale (laughter of tbi Sab haa almost
exterminated them in toe uoiuoinia,
and there are probably more in Wil
lapa harbor today than anywhere else,
and here tbey ara rapidly becoming
scarce. It I true the state ha a stur
geon law ostensibly designed to pro
tect thi valuable fish, but it look very
much a though it wac framed by par
tie who tought present profit and had
no care for the future. The greatest
objection to tka law is that it permits
the use of book which destroy a
many fish a they catch, and are as
liable to catoh a young aturgeoo a a
large one. The Deleware law could
well be copied in thia respect. In that
state ouly net are permitted and noth
ing lees than a twelve-inch mesh.

Lumbm From Gray'b Harbor.
During the first quarter of 1898, 65
vessels sailed from Oray's harbor for
domestic and foreign ports, carrying
25,000,000 feet of lumber. Seven vessels
sailed from the harbor for foreign ports,
six from Aberdeen, and one from
Hoquiam. The Wood mill has loaded
the largest number of vessels, having
cleared 18; the West t Blade mill
second, with 15; tha Gray's Harbor
Commercial Company, 11; and Wil
son Bros. A Co., 8. Tha Wood Lum
ber Company shipped 6,000,000 feet of
lumber: the West A Blade, 6,000,000;
the Gray'a Harbor Commercial Com-
Eany, 6,000,000; the Northwestern
,umber Company, 4,000,000; and Wil
son Bros. A Co., 4,600,00 feet.
Sbkator Huohbs Dbad. On Thurs
day of last week, at his home in For
mat Grove, Mr. Samuel Hughes died of
appoplexy at quite an advanced age.
Mr. Hughe had lived in Washington
county for many years, and waa favor
ably known throughout the Willamette
valley. At the time of his death he
waa state senator from Washington
county, having been eleoted two years
ago. Air. Ungues una aocumuiaiea a
neat fortune, and was considered as
one of the most responsible mea in
thatcouatv. Many people in Coin m
bia oountv wero well acquainted with
deceased, and hi sudden death will be
a surprise and shock to them.
Advakok im Jhixoi.m, Red cedar
ningles ar advancing every week.
One week ago the Eastern selling prices
t the mill were f 1 30 for A and
II 4!i for clean; now they are quoted
at II 40 and 91 50 respectively. Thi
I due to the natural increase in bu si
nes', scarcity of log and other cause.
There are now a flood of buyer in the
market, auingle are hard to get, and
no contracts for future delivery at a
fixed price are being made, 'while the
prediction Is freely made that A
shingle will reach II 50 at the mill
before July 1. Tbe oewly-organiised
Coast Lumber Company (the Weycr
hueuser syndicate) is already making
its presence felt, offurinc 6 oents above
all dealers, and giving underweights to
ui mill.
To Stat Comvbrtiok. It Is said
that 1500 people took passage out of
Portland Tuesday night for Astoria lo
attend the slate aud congressional con
vention now in cession there. Dele
gate, candidate, many with uncer
tain fates; friends, spectators, and
hopefuls, mad up the pasaenger list
on tha three steamers Potter, Lurline,
and Thompson.' The sleeping accom
modations of the three steamers were
taxed to their utmost, but perhaps en
thusiasm obtained to such an extent
that sleep was not considered one of the
essentials until after matters had been
settled in Astoria. The Telephone on
Wednesday took down about 250, and
with those already on the ground, and
the many stragglers, Astoria will be
taxed to care for them.
Crrr Affairs. The newly elected
city officers assumed the oath of office
Monday evening and took charge of
municipal affairs, each In his respect
ive place. Mr. E. E. Quick, as chair
man of the council; Messrs. B. Cox,
II. B. Cliff, James Dart, and C. W.
Blakesley, councilman ; G. A. Banford,
reoorner ; David Davia, treasurer; and
A. Bobinson, marshal, constitute the
corps, During the year Just past the
Indebtedness of the cuy has been re
duced about 9500, and affairs are now
shsping for an equal reduction during
the present year. Tbe indebtedness
at present is 91108, Interest not sti
mated, with about 9300 on hand. The
amount of cash coming into tbe city
exchequer during tha past year was
9725 07, and 87 warrants, aggregating
1412.07, including interest, bave been
ptid. Wa believe it to be the aim of
the present board to as rapidly aa ro-
sible entirely wipe out the indebtedness.
Fruit Prosfsxts Good. Charles B.
Davey, a fruitnian of Safom, who has
been touring in tba East and South
since last August, in the interest of
the fruitgrower of the state, arrived
in Portland Monday. When be left
in August he took with him six ours
of fruit, which be disposed uf at dffer
ent places, principally in New York
City and the state of Ohio. In regard
to the general situation he aaid : "The
outlook for the Oregon fruitmen, who
ara in tba business of shipping fruit
East, is good, I think. I also think
tha dried fruit market will be cleaned
out by fall, and the season will start
bare. The Eastern apple Crop ia al
most a total failure, and prunes will
be in demand aa a substitute. There
live Oregon's chance. In another year
there will be a good eale.for Oregon
fruit all over the United Bute, al
though tbe prices may not be bicb
To my mind prunes are aa much of a
staple article a wheat, ana money can
be mad oa them in the same way a
on wheaMlthough the margin is small.
Wa can compete with California in
prunes, pear, apples, and other small
fruit that grow her naturally."
Timbks lit Drmako. Beal estate
dealers and timber land agents report
a better demand for timber land, es
pecially that which is accessible to
railways or waterways. Tha prices
range from 93 to 950 an acr, being
governed entirely by the character of
the timber and it accessibility. "If it
is heavy limber and close to market it
command a fancy price," aaid a deal
er who i extensively engaged in tbe
handling of uch landa, tbi morning
"Tha average price ia perhape from f 8
to 98 an acre. There will be no ap
preciable increase in the demand for
timber landa perhape until to a nicara
gua canal is opened. The opening of
thia canal will no doubt be ona of the
results of thia country's conflict with
Soain. and a soon aa tbe canal ia
opened there will be four times tbe
demand for our lumber there now ia.
The canal will ooen the lumber mar
kets of the world to us, and Oregon,
Washington, and California will be en
riched millions of dollar, we today
have the beat timber in tbe world, and
only exorasive freight rate prevent us
from hippinar it to every point on the
Atlantic seaboard. The opening of
tbe canal will give us a market in the
Quit statea a well. Beside, there will
be heavier ahipmant to foreign port
Timber land will quadruple in value
tha day the Nicaragua canal it opened."

Over PoflBKSBioir or Land, A me
enter came hurriedly riding into thi
oity on Wednesday evening of last
week in quest of a physician to dress
iho injured foot of Mr. Bolentan, of
Pittsburg, who, that morning, had re
ceived a bullet from a 38-calliber Smith
&. Wesson revolver, in the bauds of Dr.
J. A. Bay. of the same place. Dr. Cliff
answered the call, and upon arriving
at Pittsburg found but a slight wound
In the bottom of the right foot of Mr.
Bolenian, which the doctor dressed,
aud consider it not serious. As to the
facts in the case, we can slat only
what we bave been able to pick up on
tha street, and liiey may or may not
be tiue. It is stated that Dr. Kay had
farm rented, and Mr. Bolemun sought
possession, of the same property, which
Dr. Bay refused to yield. The latter
gentleman had been absent from home
a day or two attending to business in ;
this city and Portland, and wben he !
arrived home Wednesday morning he
found hi household good bad been i
removed from the building and Mr. i
Boleroan quietly enjoying pouaeesion '
of the premise. A flight altercation I
ensued, and the injured foot of Mr. ,
Boleman is the result. Dr. Cliff was
accompanied to Pittxburg by Const-;
ble Bobinann, who brought Dr Bay
over to this city Friday afteruoon,
when a preliminary examination was ;
had In Justice Clark's court. The de
fendant waa allowed tu go on hie own
