"Ijong May It wave O'er the Home of the Free and the Land of the Brave." SHOWINO ITS COLORS. The attempt of the Newt to cart discredit upon Th Mist because of its calling attention to the importance of building aad maintaining good roadt in the county, and oar moral iopport of industries that would benefit the county, will fall aa flat aa all itt other contemptible efforts to injure have done. The loyalty of thia paper to our home and home interest! haa been firmly es tablished. The enterprise of Th Mist in one issue, haa done more to bring to the attention of the people thia wonderfully rich region than haa that paper done in the two yeara of ita ' existence, and in auch a course we are doing but our aimple duty and render ing a service to the people and oar county which is folly appreciated and universally applauded. There are many ways open to any person, if so inclined, to help along the interests of his town and county and the ultimate prosperity of the community, but the spirit of saying a good word is always absent in certain quarters. A croaker or growler is one of the most contemptible beings that walks the streets of any town, and a person who makes light of the efforts of others to advance the interests of the community is oo better.' We are not discouraged, however. Oar effort in behalf of Columbia coun ty will not cease just because it does please the News. We will continue our honorable course of trying to bet ter the condition of the commonwealth ' in which we reside, and we believe we will succeed, even in the face of the combined opposition of the croakers. The man who frowna down public spirilednesa and encouragement of public and private improvements is no better than a pa a per on a community, for be receives benefits and support from bia neighbors those whose en ergy and pluck build op tba commun ity for him. . : 4 DEPLORABLE CONDITION, Eastern contractors who bid in Ore- con mail routes at ridiculonsly low figures and then expect to sublet the work to local people, are learning something this year. They cannot find men poor enough to take the con tracts cfT their hands. The contract ors who were awarded the Fossil-Wat erman and the Arlington-Fossil routes did not come to time, and the post masters interested have been compelled to organize a special service until other arrangmeuts can be made. This specul service is costing the govern ment three times as muck as the bid of the successful Eastern contractor. The contractor who got the Myrtle- Foint-Porl Orford route for S9W could find no local man willing to carry the mail for less than 1700. Oregon bid' ders should be given the preference on Oregon mail rentes. They know more about the country than a man living at Bowling Green, Ky, or Kalamazoo, Mich. Then we should have no "throwing op" of contracts, with the subsequent cost to government aad in convenience to the people. -Oregonian. A striking illustration of this mat ter is that of the Hoalton-Vernonia route in this county, which is bid in by Eastern parties, who sublet the work to persons here at starvation figures. This service is well worth $2000 per year, and if the persons who operate it would stubbornly refuse to longer surrender their prerogatives in this connection belter compensation could be had. The service in question requires two men and two horses six days each week, and local bidders bavs unwittingly obligated themselves to perform it for the paltry allowance of from If GOO to $750 annually. Hours are long and hardships severe, and better compensation should be had. Every person who has undertaken the performance of those duties for the past eight or ten yeara baa gladly sur rendered bis privileges a disgusted poorer, yet wiser man. The government does not ask peo ple (o perform such duties for nothing, in fact is willing to pay an ameunt that would insure a gcod living and at the same time enable the operator to supply a good service. Biffkkbxt Hems gathered from eg. changes show that there is being be tween two and three hundred thous and bead of sheep driven over tbe dif ferent trails from Oregon and Wash ington to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas snd other Eastern states to be used for mutton purposes dur ing the iall and winter, loe Piortn, west is surely a great sheep country and its greatness is constantly increas ing. The increase this year in the jiiwsb crop was from 90 to 125 per cent, o that a small matter of 300,000 sheep going out does not bother the juduetry in the least. V. fe-PoBT8 received rora caaoeryni&u and the flabernjeo. are that but few fish are being caught and tba indica tions are tbat this Oliine, season will prove almost a failure when compared with that of former yeara. The great . C tiZJa twt I!.! it Irauauw we have in the past, through pure aelush ness, overlooked our own wst inter ests and used every means to deplete the slock of salmon in th i rivsr, but have neglected the very important matter of making provisions to replen ish it. The time baa now come whea we mnst of necessity do something to foster our fisheries or lose one of live most valuable industries in the state. Artificial propagation is the one means left open to accomplish this, and no way must be untried to secure the i tablitihment of a number of hatcheries on the Columbia river and its tributar ies within the immediate future. It is a question of prime importance to the whole state and should receive the un divided support of every representa tive of the people in the coming legis lative assembly.

Sewell, one of the gentlemen who accompanied the burgs lumber raft of nntan, Pontson Co, to San Francisco, mads the following statement In regard to the re sults to be attained from the introduction of that luuans of transporting lumber: "Everyone seemed well pkased at the re sult, as it demonstrated that tbs plan of constructing a lumber raft in that way is not only feasible, but entirely practioal. It means a great deal for Portland In creating a new era In the lumber business. Itts the only way that this class of lumber can, be shipped with any assurance of profit to the shipper. In Ban Kranclsoo I was informed that, on account of Klondike business, the schooners would not carry tbe lumber from here for less than as per thousand. When you take tbs value of rough lumber from here. $7, and add 13 for freight, and load ing, unloading, insurance, and other neces sary expenses, snd then have to sell it for J 1.3.50, the market price In San Francisco, one can see there it nothing but loss for the shipper. There seems to be a great ery among a certain class about throwing men out of employment, bat these people don't stop to consider the fact that rafting will keep onr nulla running night and day, and give employment to a greet many men in different lines connected with the industry To the poor miserable wretches on the coast who were wishing for the raft to go to pleues in order that they might bank os the misfortunes of ethers, 1 nave nothing to offer bat the pity of my contempt. If there is any man in Oregon having land fit tor cultivation, and be can't make enough off tbs land to provide lumber for building bis house, he has evidently mistaken bis voca tion, and, instead of farming, he ought to back In Kansas killing grasshoppers. The beginning of a new era in the lumber Indus try in Portland calls for some credit to be extended to tbe Bibb Lumber Company, of San Francisco. This firm haa an extensive yard at tbe foot of Powell street, with a capacity for handling from 18.000 000 to 18,- 000,000 feet of Oregon lumber. Connected with their yard is a fine mill for turning out any class of mill work, and the present intention of the firm is to enlarge the capac ity of the mill ao as to embrace the maim factureof furniture of Oregon fir. They will require from 260,000 to 490,000 feet a month. This will be of immense valus to Portland from the tact that there is no de mand here at present for this class of lum ber. Ionian, Ponlson A Co. are just start ing another raft, and I bops to have the dis tinguished honor of helping to land it in San Francisco, with its back unbroken , with Old Glory flying from the flagstaff, aad no salt water in my stomach, tbe result of hav ing to take a bath when I don't need it" CliATBOP COUNTY ROADS.

The committee also recom mended that the convention endeavor to have tbe road laws amended so aa to pro vide for the levying of a poll tax ef $2.00 against every male person between sges of 21 and 50, except those exempt, and giving tax collector power to tell personal property for collection of same. The amendment also makes corporations or other employ ers responsible for the poll tax of all their employees. It was stated that this law if enforced would raise $5000 per year in Clat sop county.

He says: "For several years I have been almost a constant sufferer from diarrhoea, the frequent attacks almost prostrating me- and rendering me unnt tor my duties at this bold. About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Beraedy, Much to my surprise and delight its effects were immediate. Whenever I felt symptons of tbe disease I would fortify myself against the attack with a few doses of this valuable remedy. The result has been very satisfactory and almost complete relief from the affliction."
