Enterprising people do not loote any time iu bewildering amount of tooee talk end Inconclusive argument about what should be done to improve their teetlon of eountry, but go at vig orous work to tee that it it done. A Salem man who hat been up on the Yukon river to mine, writet back to a Salem friend i "Oiler a premium at the next ttate fair for the biggost fool in the country, and I'll try and be there in time."

Any moving object on the face of the water within fta scope can be detected on the dark st night as far as marina glasses will carry. Mr. W. B, Dlllard Informs ut that be hat viewed the route for a biovole path out of thia city which would af ford an eaey grade, and tbady, pleat ant route the entire distance to Houl too. The proposed path could bebnilt fur not more than ISO. It would con nect with the road leading from IIoul ton to the 8k Helene-Boappooee road by way ot Camp Gibbon, where little Improvement would be necessary for a iplendiu course. The busy man thinks the loafer hat constant picnic, with not a thing in the world to worry hie mind. In thia iha average loafer it misjudged. He has bit task to perform and it kept pretty busy these timet.

Congre gational and Methodist are receiving the undivided support of the entire community. Do not fail to attend the dedication tervlces, at a day of pleas ure and profit it in store. About one month ago my child, which it fifteen months eld, had an attack of diarrhoea aooompanied by vomiting. I gave It such remedies as are usually given in tuoh oases, but at nothing gave relief, we tent lor a pny aiolan and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been nick for about ten days and was having about twenty five operations ot the bowels every twelve hourt, and we were oonvlnced that unlets it soon ob tained relief it would not livo.

The well known Bomert family will be In St. Helent next Monday night and favor our people with another of their delightful entertainments. Their ooaoerta are highly spoken of by the press, and certainly they need no re commendation to the St. Helent peo ple. An error wat made in our last issue concerning the date for folding the oounty institute, we inadvertently elated that it wouia oe neia me nrat week in August. It should have read first week in September. It ie almost a certainty that the institute win pe held at Rainier. It has been found that while the ex- nloaion of the magaslnet on several of Admiral Cervera'a cruisers tore up the deokt in a terrible manner, in none of those vessels was the keel found stiok- Itior un through tha deeke, as in the oao of the Maine. This illustrates the difference between an internal and ex ternal explosion on a ship. Ed T. Gore, who baa been engaged at fishing atj. Eagle Cliff thit season, returned to thia place early in the week, and it now at Scappoose, where he will remain thit winter. Ed says the run of talmon on the lower river bat been very poor for a number of weeks and many of the fishermen have put their gear away for taa season, Even steamboat pursers have their tribulations, A good-natured parser, tucb at Trios. Nordby, of the Bhaver, is many times grossly imposed upon, but Tom ia large and healthy, and ac cepts me r&weivingi or the punne as a matter of course. As the Shaver wat proceeding this way from Port land Tuesday a lady passenger desired to be put ashore at Mclotyre'e place, on the island. There wae a furious gale blowing and a comparatively high sea running, and as the steamer neared the shore she swung into the swell. The footplank wae heaved ashore and Tom gallantly mounted it, leading the passenger. When nearly balf way down the plank the steamer suddenly lurched, causing the purser and pass enger to lose their equilibrium. Two or three bystanders grabbed the lady, but the purser wat out of reach, and soon out of sight. The desoent was raDid. the hole in tha water large, the eilect cooling, but notwithstanding all this misfortune Tom waded ashere, and more determined than ever, as cended ue plank, and after a moment or two esoorted the lady safely to terra firma. Mr. A. A. Smith, who about eight montba ago left his Milton creek farm and logging camp and went to Joplin, Mo., returned to this place on Thurs day evening of last week, accompanied by bit wife. Mr. smith says the neat ia something terrible there, and that the fruit crop it a total failure. His two torn are atill in the East, tbey having some work to finish up, but are anxious to get baok home, and wilt be hero In a couple of weeks. Mr. Smith it satisfied with Oregon and tayt it it a better country for the laboring man than the East. Hit friendt welcome him back. The August apportionment of state school funds hat been made by State Treaanrer Metsohan, the whole amount being f 156,U03.(SO. Columbia county's proportion being $2,583.60, whiob amount ia on hand, but not yet appor tioned. There it 9100 liquor license money to be added to tbe amount re ceived from the ttate treasurer, the whole amount for the county schools being 12.983.60 to be apportioned among the 66 distriott. The number of school children in tbe oounty ia 2153. The rate per capita, by the state, beingfiou. County Clerk Watts ia authority for the atatement that buyers have for tome time been in the vicinity of Scap- re offering and paying $2 per cord wood delivered at the bank of the slough, or at the car track, a condition which baa not existed in that place for several yeara. And yet prices of com modities produced by tbe laboring class have not advanced. Two years ago tbe wood-dealers in that vicinity accepted 91 30 per cord for wood, wait' ing several months for their money. About 55 persons availed themselves of tbe opportunity to visit Kalama last Friday evening by accompanying the exoursion party. The run to that city wat made ia 45 minutes, ana the vis itors strolled about the city until 9 o'clock, when Captain Good notified them it wae time to leave. St. Hel ent waa reached at 10 : 30, and all who went were glad they did so. About 913 waa realised for the minister. A friend from 8oappoose writet ne that a very peculiar tnake waa fonnd on tbe railroad track near that place recently. The tnake it described as being 28 incbee in length, ot a very light brown color, and a little over an inch in diameter. The tail waa very stubby, in fact the tnake wat nearly as large at either end at it wae in tbe middle. The head resembled that of a mountain trout very much. Wood-dealer Lemon t prediote that the price of wood on the docks at thit place will soon rise to fa 5!0 per cord. George haa teveral hundred cords in tbe woods, and tbe only dituouity be experiences in gettiug it out it finding teamsters willing to work for 91 per day and board. He sayt wood will tell readily here tbit winter at 92 26.

If. I. G. Wikstrom came down from Portland last Monday evening, con tinuing on to hit sawmill near Kalama Tuesday. Mr. Wikstrom is nursing a very painful injury reeeutly received to the index finger of bis right hand, just back of tbe nail. A fair patronage waa had at the ice cream open air social Wednesday even ing. The condition of the atmosphere rendered eating ice cream more of a displeasure than oomtort. After the Election. A valued exchange belonging to the tree silver party publishes this Joke about seme of his peoplei ; Two brothers from a North Missouri oounty appeared one morning at the por tals or tne ot. josepn insane asyiam, one oi them to be Incarcerated there as a patient, the other having him in oharga as far aa the asylum. They were droned very much alike, and the easual observer on the train wouia not oaTV amwmi sign, ut iobmhii In either. When the keener appeared each instated that he brought the other. The asylum manager was in a qaandry. He chatted with his visitors until a late hour, and then looked them in a room together. Then he telegraphed the authorities at tbe town where the brothers lired : "Two men from your town arrived today ; both dressed r munh alike: one calls himself Jack and talks about oonstruotiog an air line to the moon ; Uie other goes By tne name or Ueorge and advocates ires ooiusge oi suver.

Occasionally the boy would slacken bit speed and call out i '-Dad, if I come back will you promise not to lick met" and tbe puffiing dad would answer "No." Finally the boy put on extra speed and disappeared. The Albany Herald says that the latest news from the front ie that dad has raised a flag of truce. ; Yakima. Wool Isdubtby. Some idea of the vast importance of tbe wool industry in Yakima oounty, Wash., may be had when it ie remembered that there ie now etored in the ware house of Wiston A Ragger, at Frosser, over half a million pounds of wool from last year's clip, aud all grown and sheared in that portion of tbe county. At a wool-growing distriot, Yakima is far in the lead of any portion of the state, either for pounds produced or length and quality of fiber. Paihtwq THg Orbooh. The Ore gon, as she appeared on her long run, is tbe subject of a painting ordered by tbe Bohemian club of San Francisco. Admiral Parragut'a famous old flag ship will furnish the oak for the frame. The club intends to offer the painting to congress as a gift, tayt the Salem Statesman). Why does not some club have the Oregon painted as she ap peared in the .light at Santiago That would make a war picture which would fire tbe hearts of the present genera tion, at leaet on the Pacific coast. Cowlitz Vaixiy LrvaMr. Kelso Journal : "If there ie an idle man in Kelso it it bit own fault. Every day inquiries are made for men, and on last Tuesday at leaet ten men coma have found employment. Thit it a busy time of year, and onr streets are almost deserted, as everyone who de sires work can secure it. Tbe harvest is a bountiful one, loggers are doing well, and plenty of money will be found in tbe bands of the people thie fall. The good times arc silencing the cry against the gold standard, and bat lit tle free-silver talk is heard." To Spobtsmml Oregon's game law boiled down is at follows: Game and fish oan be killed only during tha fol lowing season: Grouse, Mongolian pheasant, and qnail, September 1st to December 1st; prairie chickens, July 1st to October 1st ; wild ducks and water fowls, September 1st to March 16th; deer, mountain sheep, etc., Aug ust 1st to December 1st; killing spot ted fawn ia prohibited ; killing tor hidee or parte of carcass ia prohibited. Eaat of tbe Cascades it is unlawful to kill at any time Mongolian pheasants, quail, or Bob White quail. Trout may be caught from April 1st to November 1st. Explosivee to kill fish, nets, seines, obstructions to free passage of tlth, etc, are prohibited. Pbobpxeitv is Gbakt Codkty. Grant county stockmen have sold more stock thia year than for the past seven, and from present indications there are enough buyert in the field to handle every marketable boot in the county, says The Dalles Chronicle. Not Only are the regular foreign buyert taking all they can contrast for in the way of sheep and cattle, but local men are buying for speculation. Money seems to be. unusually easy, and the general prosperity and rise of wool and live stock eince tbe inauguration of the present administration baa instilled old-time energy and confidence into the hearts of Urant oonnty'a citizens. Paraltzbd and IitaAKX, The Salem Statesman of Friday, July 29th, tayt: "P. M.

It hat been sug gested by citizens interested in the development of the farming interests of Clatsop county that a mile of ma cadam road be built somewhere in the oommunity. The idea is to make it a sample and a practical illustration of tbe advantages ana Cheapness in ins end of a road of tbit kind. If tbe plan it followed out, and J hose discussing the tubjapt now see no reason why it should not, tha residents in the aeign borhood in which the road is built would be expected to assist in build' ing it. There are now 250 miles ot road in the county, which cost 93,000 annually to keep in repair. The county court baa not the money to build such a road, and the necessary money must come from parties inter ested in the welfare of the farmers of the county. If the plan is carried out and the advantages of a macadam road are seen, in a short time the oounty would be supplied with roads that would be a lasting benefit to the farmers as well as to the merchants and citizeus of Astoria.
