The price of Or lumber has Uken a
jump of $1 per thousand feet, or from
f8 U.8.60 and 9. The market is firm
nnd ohartor rales are lower, whicli ac
counts for the increase. The increase
la price, it is said, is not due to any
combined aotion on the part of mill
owners, but is the natural result of
conditions existing in the trade. The
price of log, it is said, have also beeu
edvsuced.
Mr. Jolly and family, of Iloullon,
request us to tender their sincere
thank to the people of that place and
8t. Helens for the generous Christmas
donation of articles of food left at their
home last Saturday. Perhaps if one
could have setn the cheer that the
message took to hearts in gloom, and
helped make the world seem brighter
and better, they would be stronger be
lievers in the scriptural passage that
"it Is more blessed to give than to re
time." The Tillamook Herald says that
"George Barton, a trapper, reports
having caught in one of bis traps a
curious animal about three feet wide
tjr one and a half feel long. Its back
was covered with feathers. The stom
ach held a flush of scales. Its tail was
like a fish, and its head was ornament
ed with a bill and comb; while Its fore
feet were webbed and the hind ones
were just like a dog," Beally, Tilla
mook saloonkeepers should be com
lulled to handle a better brand of liquor.
Captain Good keeps a liiiht on a
buoy placed by himself at the edge of
the reef in the slough, ju t- above the
mouth of gcappooae bay. This light,
while Known to exist by but tow steam
boatmen, proved a danger signal to all
of that class, who, by force of circum
etanres, were obliged to navigate that
body of water during the recent freeze
tip. The government should place
beacon lights on either side of the
channel at that place, especially since
the slougb Is not generally navigated
only in emergency cases, and its chan
nel is practically unknown to many
atcamboatmsn.
Representative Flag, of Marlon
county, will introduce a bill at the next
legislature requiring all executions of
criminals to be made at the state peni
tentiary at Sulem. Fhtgg ia of the
opinion that public executions have a
demoralising effect upon a commun
ity, and while under the present law
executions are not public they are
usually witnessed by from 100 to 500
people. If all executions were con
ducted at the state penitentiary, he
oontends, this influence would in a
urge measure be abated, while a most
salutary effect might be wrought upon
tho convicts at the same time.
Another Christmas has come anj
gone, and one which will be long re
membered by the people of 8t. Helens.
A Christmas boat, rigged like an ocean
ailing vessel, In the Congregational
church, with "The Oregon" written on
her bow, and aoroBS her stern was
beautifully decorated and loaded with
presents. The church decorations
wore of evergreen, arranged iu the mot-t
attractive manner. ; High up on the
white plastered - wall, in plain view to
all, was a large lone star, made of fine
evergreen branches t the whole making
beautiful and touching scene. The
church was crowded as never before,
and many hearts were made joyful on
this anniversary of the birth of their
Saviour. All bt, Helens feels proud of
the interest which was manifested and
the cheerful manner iu which her cit
izens contributed towards making this
a pleasant and attractive occasion.
Iu our last issue we laid iu a com
plaint about tho mull service In this
county, and to be honest about it, It
does not trouble our conscience in the
least to touch up the deficiencies that
exist. The only reason for regret on
our port is thai our comment wus con-.
strued as reflecting on cur. rerry, uie
Houlton postmaster, when, in reality,
it was as foreign to our intent s could
possibly be. We do not hesitate to
say that Mr. Perry is one of the most
obliging postmasters tn tlie county,
and comet as near doing what is ex
pected ef Jiirn as a postmaster as any
person serving in that capacity within
tho scone of our acquaintance. Mr.
Perry will testify that our papers for
railroad distribution arrive at hi office
each Thursday evening, and we aru
satisfied that Mr. I'erry loses no time
in shipping the mail, not even waiting
for orders from houilquarlers, because
he considers it his duly to start mail
on its journey without any red-tape
attachments. Mr. Perry is a strong
advocate of the principle that the mat!
service is for the benefit and conven
louoe of the public, and not the post
master. No doubt the greater per cent
of the kickt that are registered are
warranted. In one case of our own
last week, in which s letter from Ore
gon City, containing legal documents
for publication, mailed at that olllce
on the 17th, reached the St. Helens
ofllce on the 21at, postmarked "Port
land, Defl 17th "Astoria, Dec. 18th j"
"Mist, Deo. 20th j" "Houlton, Dec.
21st." The fault, in our opinion, at
taches lo the railway mail service on
the Astoria road. One would be led
to that opinion from recent occur
rences, especially so when it requires
three days fur a bundle of paper to
go from Ht, Helens to Warren, a dis
tance of four miles, and when they
do arrive it is on the north-bound train.
An occasional mistake can be over
looked, but there is no excuse for re
pealed negligence which we know has
existed ever since the Astoria train
began carrying the mail.
Tuesday evening of this week was
celebrated in Ibis city by the Masonic
fraternity in a manner peouliur to
their own style. There were Mason
from everywhere present, besides many
Indiesmember of the Eastern Star.
The occasion was the joint installation
of officers of the lodges at this place
and from Bainier, as well as the of
ficers of Mispab chapter of Kastern
Star. The officers of the borne Ma
sonic lodge installed were; A. King,
W. M. ! 8. Bulaer, W.S JS. JS. Utiles", J.
VV.i James Muckle, treasurer : 0. H.
Johns, secretary; U. W. Clark, 8. D. ;
A. B. Little, J. D. ; Chas. Muckle and
Jacob Severance, Stewarts; Washing
ton Muckle, tyler. Past Master Dean
lilunchard acted in the capacity of in
stalling officer of both Musonio lodges.
The officers of Rainier lodge installed
were: Bruce I'o! worth, W. M.;Wui,
Flnhrer.S. W.; Henry Nice, J. W.;
Wm. Slaughter, S. D. ; Ira Baylor, 8.
8. Past Matron, Francis Johns in
stalled the officers of the Eastern Star
as follows: S. M. Quick, W. M. : R.

laid, Ads ; Elizabeth Henderson, Ruth ;

Following the installation Judge Mo-
Bride and Mr. roiworlft delivered ap
propriate addresses' along Jhe line of
Masonry, which were received with
much favor. After , lbs festivities in
the lodgerooro those present, number
ing something over hundred, repaired
to the lower room of the building and
there partook of a most sumptuous
supper. The oooasion was certainly
the most pleasant of any in the his
tory of the lodee at this place, as
every one present speaks highly of it.
In an attempt to replace white la
borers on the section forces with Japs,
the Astoria railroad people are meet
ing with vigorous opposition, and it
has been an almost impossibility for
the Japs to accomplish any work
along the line owing to the Interfer
ence of crowds of masked men, who
subject the browuskins to all sorts of
fi mhta by threats and actions. Last
Friday night at Clatekame a mob of
masked men attacked the Japanese
laborers in the bunkhouse, broke in
the windows and spirited the occu
pants away, and it was feared for a
short time that tbey had been mur
dered, but the fear was finally dispelled
by locating the Japs at Mayger. Un
Monday night a similar occurrence
took plaoe at Weatport, and on Tues
day night the force of Japs at work
near Rainier were marched to the
river and put on board the Telephone
and Bhippcd to Portland. Sheriff Rice
Is doing all that is possible to quell
the disturbances, but it is a difficult
matter owing to the organized secrecy
with which the work is dispatched.
Sheriff Williams, of Clatsop county,
is having the road in the vicinity of
Westport patrolled, but nice rtncnti
Rice, has so far been unable to discover
any clew as to who the perpetrators
are. There undoubtedly will be blood
shed before the trouble ends.
Senator MoBride has offered an
amendment to the naval bill, which
provides for the construction of a stone
drydock on the Columbia river and
appropriates 1200,000 for immediate
use in beginning the work. According
to the provisions of the amendment,
the dock shall be 700 feet in length,
and it other dimensions shall be such
as to accommodate the largest vessels
in the regular or auxiliary navy, either
existing at the present time, or likely
to be oonstruoted in the tutors. The
coat of the dock when completed is not
10 exceed $1,025,000. Provision is also
mads for a board of naval officers, to
be appointed by the secretary of the
navy, to select a suitable location for
the dock, $ 1000 boing set aside to de
fray the expenses of such a board.

High Price for Salmon.
It is quite evident from present indica
tions that the price paid for raw fish next
year will be fully a high, It not higher,
than during the season just closed, says a
dlapatoh from Astoria in last Sunday's Or-
egonlan, A representative of one of the
local canneries stated today that he was
authorised to make contracts for the com
ing season at the rate of 5 cents per pound.
It la also reported that one up-river can
nery Is making a similar offer. Neither of
these, however, wilt give out any twine or
other supplies. A meeting of several of
the local canners was held a few days ago,
end the questiou was discussed, but one of
them said today that no conclusion as to
the price had been arrived at. It is under
stood, however, that a majority of them
favor making it i)4 cents. Aa far as can
be learned none of the fishermen have so
far made oontraota, even under the tempt
ing offer of 5 cents, those of them who own
their own gear preferring to remain free to
sell their catc' es to the coldston ge men if
a bettor price is p-id.
