Hat iir Wabiuhcitoh.--Thetimoihy
hay crop in this county will not be as
good as some bad hoped and predicted
white it was raining two weeks ago.
A gentleman who i interested in grow
ing hay made a trip from the eastern
part of the county through the north
ern part. He reports thai he saw no
food meadows. Newly-seeded fields
ere taken by noxious weeds, and the
eame is true of old plats. Some of his
own that was seeded last fall he has
tiliiwed up again. The reason he gives
for this state of things is the long dry
print; followed by rather cold rains.
Clover hay, however, is very heavy
nd only needs fair weather for culling
nd curing. UilUboro Independent.

I was seriously afflicted with a cough
tor several years, and last fall had a
more severe cough than ever before.
I have used many remedies without
receiving much relief, and being reo

who, knowing me to be a poor widow,
gave it to me, I tried it, and with the
most gratifying results. The first bot
tle relieved roe very much, and the
second bottle has absolutely cured me.

The accounts in Tuesday'a Telegram
and Wednesday's Oregonian of the
railroad accident at Houlton Monday,
which caused the death of Mr. Crosby,
were erroneous. Mr. Crosby had re
sided in this vicinity for several years.
and it is believed that bla death was
due entirely te an accident, instead of
being premeditated suicide as reported
in those papers.
Warm weather continues over the
Snake river country, while oompara
tiely cool weather prevails over the
Upper Columbia. The upper rivers
have commenced to fall. It appears
that the main body of snow has now
been molted and all danger of higher
watsr is passed. It cannot be stated
with absolute accuracy that no further
rise will occur, but such a conclusion
is reasonable.

Unless meteorological conditions
take a sudden and decided change in
the very near future seaside travel will
be deferred very late into the season
this year. Oidinarily at this season
there are many sojourners at the dif
ferent seaside resorts, but so far this
year we believe there are compara
tively none. But conditions may be
suoh when the weather does change
that people will be glad to seek the
refreshing atmosphere of the sea-coast.
The popular little steamer Young
America has been making excellent
time through the slough during the
histh stave of the water. She arrives
in Portland promptly at 10:30 each
day, and on ber return quite frequently
reaches this place before 0 : 80 in the
afternoon. Captain good is seriously
considering the advisability of leaving
this place an hour later, in the morn
ing, in which event a great deal of the
travel that now goes by other boats
would find it much more convenient
to patronize the Young America.
Word was circulated in this city a
few days ago that it was very, likely
that a contraot ior a large number of
paving blocks would aoon be lot in
Portland, and considerable hope was
entertained that the blocks would be
taken from the quarries in the vicinity
of this place, in which event a crew of
perhaps fifty men would be sent here.
Tho contract, if let, would Call for
200,000 blocks, aad would require
about four months' time te get them
out. Should the statements prove
true, and the men be put at work in
our quarries, St. Helens would take on
an increased business air this summer;
Bauvie't inland and the farms along
the slough have a peculiarly desolate
and lonesome appearance. A great
many of the farmers have been com
pelled to remove their stock to the
main-land whore their dairying oper
ations are continued as best they can
be under the circumstances. It is an
unfortunate thing for those peo
ple that it was necessary to again leave
their furms on account of high water,
this being the fourth succeeding year
that the flood has driven them away.
Crops have been ruined, barns, fences,
and other property carried away or
destroyed and other inconveniences
arising make it a serious detriment to
progress and prosperity.
Bad management keeps more people
iu poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when a favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage of
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudtnt and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Colio, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until
necessity compels it and then ruin his
best horse going for a doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, bosides ; one
pays out 25 cents, the other is out a
hundred dollars, and then wonders
why his neighbor is getting richer
while he is getting poorer. For sale

Castle hall of Avon lodge Knights
of Pythias of this city was the scene
of a pleasant and profitable time Tues
day evening. The occasion was a fra
ternal visit from Orpheus looVe, of
Portland, and it is needless to say that
Avon s members enjoyed the presence
oi the brothers. The visitors arrived
at about 9 o'clock on Brother Bob In
man's lsunoh Hoo-Hoo, and immedi
ately went to the lodge room, wljere
they witnessed the conferring of the
first rank, after which speeches were
listened to and chat indulged in while
a committee prepared and took to th
lodge a lunoli, which was appreciated
by all. There were seventeen of the
visitors, and the home lodge strained
a point to maintain its reputation as
au entertainer, and we believe the
effort was blithly satisfactory. About
1 o'clock in the morning the visitors
started on tuoir return home.
The large raft of lumber built by
the Inman, Poulson Mill Co., of Port
land, was towed down the river on
Wednesday morning, and is now well
on its way to San Francisco. This
raft was built as an experiment for
cheap transportation for lumber from
the Columbia to the California market,
and if it proves successful it will be a
novel and expedient departure in the
lumber trade of the coast. The raft it
said to contain 5,000,0000 feet of lum
ber, and in appearance resembles a
large, narrow, long house, without a
roof. Nearly in the center of the raft
is a little house constructed for Mr.
Ionian's occupancy during the voy
age, and immediately in front of the
bouse is a nag staff, trom which floats
the stars and stripes. The raft is said
to be perfectly seaworthy, and without
doubt will reach its destinatioa in
safety.
Dr. Ross returned last Sunday even
ing from Carico valley, where he had
been called the day before on a pro
fessional visit. The doctor brought
with him three strawberries : be larg
est ones ever seen here. George Msy-
ger said tbe three benies weighed 7
pounds, but facta disclosed later on
provod that George unintentionally
misrepresented the circumstances. The
three berries weighed 71 ounces, the
largest of tbe three weighing 3 ounces
and measured 11 inches in circum
ference. Of course they were large
berries, but nothing very uncommon
for Oregon to produce. The berries
were raised on Mr. J. IS. Wilverdinc'e
place, and Dr. lloss said the largest
one of the three measured 12 inches
in circumference before it was plucked
from the vine.
The annual meeting of the Colum
bia County Sunday School Associa
tion held in this city last week was
largely attended aud great interest
manifest. Delegates from nearly all
the Sunday schools in the county were
present, and tbe meeting is said to
have had a wonderfully stimulating
effect on Sunday school workers. The
lectures were of the highest and most
benefitting character, outlining the
work of teacher, superintendent, and
pupils. Thursday evening the meet
ing closed with a sermon by Dr. Gue,
which was a master effort.

SALMON SHIPMENTS.
The catch of salmon at this place during
the present week has not been equaled tor
several years. Fishermen are using three
kinds of nets, and the results are proving
entirely satisfactory. At lower river points
catches of salmon are said to nowhere equal
those at this place, and a great deal of the
fish shipped from here are sent on to the
canneries at Astoria. Some of the local
fishermen are uslag large-mesh nets, but
the majority of nets In use here are small
mesh for catching bluebaoks, the number
of which now being caught has not been
equaled tinoe 1KM. It has not been an un
common thing for boats to bring in from
100 to 200 bluebacks In one day, and on
Tuesday Pan Richardson unloaded 240
bluebaoks, the result of one day's work.
These flh average about live pounds each,
and the fishermen receive 2)4 cents per
pound. Some chlnook salmon are being
taken from tht river, but they constitute
only about one-third of the fish taken.
However, thoy are very large fish, and are
beautiful specimens of the royal ehinook.
Mr. J. H. Sheldon, the local buyer and
shipper, Is using every effort te convenience
tbe fishermen, and their patronage to him
shows their appreciation of his efforts to
save them trouble and expense. As an evi
dence of what is being done In the fish busi
ness here, the following figures were taken
