An exchange aptly saya a news paper whose column overflow with advertitiemeuts of business) men ha more Influence in attracting: attention to and building up a city or town than amy other agency that could be em ployed.

Jack Payne, of Deer Island, Ua man aftor our own heart. Realising tha gen erally destitute condition of the average country newapaper man, he tbi week liecama our benefactor by leaving a large wild goose at this office, which will be taken care of about Christmas Day, in accordance witii the usual amount of space for such matter.

Merchant in Foreet Grove say the people of he Nchalem valley bought over 13,000 worth of merchandise In that town during the fall of 1898. Per haps an amount equal to that wna pur chased by Kehalem people in otlx r Waahingtoo county town thi year. St. Heleti should make an effort to ocura that trade by contributing lib orally to the improvement of tbe road from bore to Pittsburg. -...' With good prospect for t thorough revision of road law, looking to an im proved condition of county thorough litres, at the next session of the legisla- l.nr fcftuPA iihilmiHtMilltf will Kn a nnn- iderableof a revolution in road work with the coming of springtime. The bad condition of the road ha been the grcrteat menace this county ba had to' withstand. No act of tbe legis lature could do greater good for this section than the passage ot a law look ing to advanced methods for road im proving1. This make-shift road im proving is a gigantic fraud, and the sooner the system is improved the bet ter it will be for Columbia oouuty. One of the present needs of Colum bia county is an organisation for thei purpose of dealing out reliable infor mation a to our resources and busi ness opportunities. This l not sug gested for the purpose of aiding any particular part of the county, There should be no (elfish motive in an un dertaking of tbi character. The coun ty ia largo, and opportunities are plen tiful, and it should be the aim of every interested person to assist in the great work of inducing people to locate with us, no mutter what part of the county they choose to reside in. Encourage ment of such a plan might work won der in inducing people to settle bere. Prosecuting Attorney Cleeton was In attendance at the adjourned term of circuit court held bere last Satur day. Mr. Cleeton hna demonstrated liia peculiar adaptibility and unsur passed fitness for tbe high office of criminal prosecutor, and it certainly would bave been the sheerest folly to have removed him just as he became uch a thorough st.aUi guardian auuinet criminal acts, No doubt the fact of thtt presence of such a thoroughly com petent official tends largely to joaaen the rale of deviltry perpetrated, and certainly Mr. Cleeton is dreaded by the clans who usually participate in criminal iufractkma.

Tbe order is for suoh a number a to keep hi mill run ning steadily for over two months, end it was an unsolicited order, too. Under tbe most favorable circumstances the order cannot be filled abort of two months, which means that the proprie tor of the mill will not loose anything, besides employment will be given to twelve or fifteen men. Tbe Northern Pacific have bad a great many tieacut by Mr. Howard, aud bis work has al ways given entire satisfaction. He ia a thorough mill man, and any work intrusted to him always receive prompt attention. It should be a matter for congratulation to the people in the neighborhood in which that manufac turing plant exist that it is 'within their province to be afforded remuner ative employment, a a direct result of itt presence and tha business sazaoity ot it proprietor. If oue Is to judge from the number and nature of th complaint which are registered at this offloe nearly every week in regard to the matter, it would ha said at once that the nreannt mail service In this county i about a poor a it ia possible for it to be. When it la lie three day for mail to reach it ditinatioa only four mile from St. Helen it would be concluded at once that tha complaint were well founded. Week before last the bundle of Hters for Warren reached that office at noon on Sunday. The. paper were mailed bere on Thursday evening in time to start for Houlton that night, which in all probability they did, and there i no excuse for their not reaching their des tination Friday. Before the mail route from Pittsburg to Mist was established tbe bundle of Mihts for tbe latter place did not reach that place until Wednes day or Thursday of tbe week after they were printed, lilame attache to the servioe and not to this office. Our friend Joseph Htyburn now mourn the loss of five pet ducks, anJ from Joseph' account of tbeir nobler qualities and attachment to their owner, he ha just cause for regret. The duck acquired the habit during the froeienp of boarding a chunk- of ice iu the river, and floating back and forth op and down the river, which lastime tbey seemed to hugely enjoy, but they would return home each evening for tbeir food. But on Thurs day of last week tbey allowed their de sire for sport to overcome their better udgment, and when they drifted past Columbia Citv, mounted on a huge cake of ioe, Willi Buingarduer spied them and proceeded to end their a port by turning tbe charge of a shotgun intu them, ' Willis, perhaps, is not necessarily t blame, but the accident i unfortunate a the duott were Jo- 1. 1. . : ) ,1 . .i.:-i. u . 1 Diu m uiiiiicu ucTuwjn, riikju ug uhuj when (booting wild ducks.

For two year the Mew ba borne that distinction, the first year doing the work gratis; bat with true reform as it motto, a bill for printing tbe court proceeding ba regularly been presented by the editor ot that paper.when it was agreed, specifically, that the work should not be charged for. The board had but one alternative, and that was to pay the bill. For tbe two year previous to that time Tub Mist bad printed the proceedings of the court for nothing, or to make it plainer, without charge. The work, when charged for, amounted to 75 or $100 per year, and just as soon aa a "reformer" got the job the county was charged for tho work. We would like to ask where the reform come in? lunch booth, prenided over by Mrs, A. 11, George and Mr. Cox, cleared $7.60, the whole amount being Tt'8.25.

Those in charge de ire us to thank the public for it geii' s;ou patronage, and all those who in any way assisted in tha work. Treasurer Bos is experiencing kind of a sweat-box sensation in regard to paying interest on county warrants, The lust session of the legielature fixed the legal rate of interest at 0 per cent, and the law took effect on the lltn of October last, and the question is raised whether it would be legal to allow 8 per oent on warrant issued prior to that time until oald. or whether 8 ner rent up to that date, and 6 per cent thereafter until paid. Mr. Boo has adopted the safe plan, and paid inter est at the old rate up to Uotober 14th, and 6 per cent thereafter.
