Here is an item that should be

Merchant in Foreet Grove say the

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

proving1. This make-shift road im
proving is a gigantic fraud, and the
sooner the system is improved the bet

One of the present needs of Colum
bia county is an organisation for thei

gested for the purpose of aiding any

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

they choose to reside in. Encourage

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.

Mr. II. O. Howard, the hustling pro
prietor ot th Yankton sawmill, re
ceived a roal nice order for railroad
ties last Saturday. 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

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

cake of ioe, Willi Buingarduer spied
them and proceeded to end their a port

to 75 or $100 per year, and just as
soon aa a "reformer" got the job the
county was charged for tho work. We

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,

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,

plan, and aucceeded in havinga friend'
