McKay, well known here, being at one
lime In the butcher business at Kelso,
Is in town again this week. In 1890
Mr. McKay supported Bryan and the
straight fusion ticket. In conversa
tion with a Journal man a few days
. ago be said he had "been raised a dem
crut. but would never vole with them
gain, for," said he, "I got $10 per
month under a democratic administra
tion and get $00 under a republican,
Times are good and are getting better,
ana l cannot see now anyone can re
fuse to vote s straight republican tioket
mi year." Kelso Journal.
Unlikely Dihchiminatioh. -Thers
is much talk going the rouuds that
feeder buyers are going to discriminate
against "com toon" cattle this fall, but
when the growers can get $25 a head
for yearlings and $30 or better for 2-
yesuvolds, which they are doing at prw
ent, It makes very little difference as
far as the discrimination is concerned
It pays better, of course, to breed good
cattle, but the growers cannot oh nee
their herds from "common" cattle to
thoroughbreds in a day, and if they
could, why then these same feeder
buyers would likely be bunting the
country over for "common cattle.
Nihktt Ckkts. On Friday 8. Q,
Tatlia, who bas the Chase and Burton
orchards, near Eugene, onder lease,
old to J. E. Bratt, of 8alem, 850 boxes
of Baldwin and Bpilzenberg apples for
00 cents' per bos. The apples are to
t - . j . I t
ue neatly pacaea una to ix entirely
free from worms. This is only a portion
of the gentleman's crop. Mr. Tallia
sprayed his apple orchard five times
this spring and summer, and his crop
is free from pests. As an experiment
to show his neighbors the good results
from spraying, be failed to spray one
tree in the center of the orchard. This
tree did not bear over S per cent of
good apples, while the rest of the or
chard bore over 90 per cent of Hrt-
olaes fruit. Statesman.
Cattli nr Good Dkmaitd. There
certainly must be money in cattle
when beef sells from 6 to 10 cents per
pound, and we predict that more men
will go into the cattle business. We
doknow that every man in the country
who is In the cattle business and reas
onably free from debt is making money.
ranchman is soarcely "in it" unless
he bas a bunch of cattle, so that he
can sell some every year. Working
crops of potatoes in the mountains,
digging money out of the ground by
raising; grain, and producing hay for
ale, may be all right, but none will say
but that cattle are of more profit. Got
you a bunch of cattle. On account of
the broad prarles making plenty of
pasture, cattle should be the natural
product of this country, as cotton is of
the warm Southern states, or corn
product of the Central states.
TtnnnowtNO MoksV FOB SCHOOLS.-
Another bill that may be of iutorest
to school districts of Columbia county

The president of the United States

proclamation for 1898 and designates
the last Thursday in this month the

It is reported in steamboat circles
that the O. It. & N. Company will this
winter, bnild a new steamer for the
Portland-Astoria route. It is said that
the vessel will be a twin propeller and
will develop an average speed of 25
miles an hour. She will be used al
most exclusively for passengers.
Commencing next week, tho 10th,
we believe, the northbound Northern
Pacific passenger which now arrives at
Houlton at 0 :6U in the evening, win
not arrive at that plaoe until 10 :45,
Thus th null which is now being re
ceived at tbe St. Helens office at 6:30
each evening, will not arrive here un
til the next day.

Thi Mist takes this means of
thanking its friends who have in the
past contributed to its news columns
from different sections ol tne county.
Last week there were many interest
ing looal notes in this paper, the re
sult of the efforts of four correspond
ents. Let there be more correspond
ents and more county news. We
will print all that comes. '
Mr. Wm. Johnson, of Vesper, the
gentleman who owned the 91 bales of
hops that bad placement on tne
Shaver when she stranded, has re
ceived from the Shaver Transporta
tion Company a check for I1WKJ, the
market price of the hops. With this
nd other sums or money tne com
pany will be obliged to pay oat, besides
making the necessary repairs to the
steamer, the accident will oost that
company over $4,000.
It Is a question "in the minds of
many looal steamDoaimen wnetner
the decision of the inspectors in re
gard to the oollision of the Potter and
the Shaver, and the sinking of the
latter, was based absolutely on facts.
The decision was rendered, so it is said,
without the inspectors visiting tbe
unken boat, and many of tbe river
men do not hesitate to say that from
tbe appearance of things the Shaver
was oertainly running sideways at a
fearful rate of speed just before the
Potter struok ber.
Assessor White visitsd at Quincy a
few days last week. Mr. White says
the lower end of the oounty presents
lively appearance. Many valuable
improvements are being made, es
pecially to .couuty roads. The rail
road oompanyhas nearly completed
the two and one-half miles of road up
Beaver creek, which it obligated itself
to do if the oitixens would permit the
railroad bridge across the Beaver to
remain as it is not requiring a draw
brldio. The new road has a ten-per
cent grade and after this winter will
be a great improvement, mr. im
Iso states that minmen ana luggers
are busy end everybody seems well
itisned with prevailing nonunion,
he matter of constructing a flume
several miles up Stewart creek and
oonneot with Ihe gravel pit spur of
the railrond, which extends about two
nd a half miles up Stewart creen, is
ust'now. matter for muoh comment
in that seotion. A vulualile -body of
limber lies in that part of the county,
and should suob an improvement be
made, it will be of almost incalculable
benefit to the people there.
A petition will be presented to the
county court praying for the estab
lishment of a new counti road from
point nesr the John Uilmore place, on
the Northern Paoiflo railroad, paral
leling the railroad to Houlton, where
the present road will be used as far as
the corner on which the Evangelioal
church stands thence southeast to
the Houlton soboolhouse; thence
again paralleling the railroad to Gus
Wikstrom's place. At this point the
Bachelor Flat road will connect with
the contemplated road. We believe
it would be a stroke of good manage'
ment to oreate a couuty road out of
the partly inproved road now in ex
istenc running in an almost due east
and west course between St. Helens
and Houlton. It would require but a
slight outlay of cash and labor to
make out of this a shorter, better and
more direct road between Houlton
and St. Helons than now exists and
it would be a direct leader for the Ne
balem travel.
Mr. W. B. Dillard, of this city, with
his characteristic publicspintedness.
took to tbe Portland Exposition a bas
ketful of vegetables grown in his gar
den tomatoes, sweet potatoes, corn
gherkins and cucumbers not that he
considered the vegetables anything
extra in their line, but because be de
sired that Columbia county should
not be wholly unrepresented there,
the authorities at the exposition in
sisted upon removing tbe vegetables
from tbe basket, . stating that they
made a creditable display, and as a re
suit Mr. Dillard was awarded the dis
tinction of having the "best display
from any one garden." Columbia
county might well have had a large
display at in exposition ana re
ceived greater honors, because our
productions oompare with any other
part of the state. "
The sheriffs are busy this week
straightening up the affairs of their
office. There were innumerable let
ters on hand to answer, many of tbem
containing checks and money orders
in payment of back and current taxes
ana since tne sale ot properly was
made on October 25th, Sheriff Rice
bas been busy writing up tax sale cer
tificates. There was over $0OO re
ceived from this source. Over $2700
were collected by the sheriffs during
Uctobor, and probably a considerable
amount of money will come into tbe
oounty treasury on land redemptions
and tax .certificates during the term of
oounty oourt to -convene next week,
Mr. John Tompkins came up from
Deer Island Wednesday, bringing with
him a beautiful silk handkerchief,
made at Manila, Philippine islands, of
native sulk. The border of the band'
kerchief, which is hemstitched, and
nearly two inches wide, is ornamented
with tbe flags of many nations, which
are stamped therein in beautiful, bright
colors. Mr. Ad Bonner sent the band'
kerchief to bis sister, Mrs. Tompkins,
soms time since. Mr. Tompkins left
with us a letter lor publication, from
Mr. Bonner to his sister, but for lack
