Thb retiring nod inaugnral cere monies of the governors at Salem on Tuesday were quite informal bo far m ny particular excitement ia cod oeroed. Governor Geer, in his inaug ural address, outliuea as bi policy, an economical administration. It ia to be hoped auch course will be pur sued in all department. No individual characteristic of hu manity ia to be more admired than in dependent thought and speech, but the fact of the adoption of auch a coarse by certain people and papers at so late a day as this, after years of sturdy and unyielding partisanship, strikes one as a somewhat peculiar circumstance. We have little faith in these statements of being independent in all things and neutral in nothing, so long as the state ment emanates from the source it does under the circumstances. It looks as though the principle so long advocated as the panacea for all ills had been abandoned for reasons, probably as apparent to the author as anyone else, that the principle was lacking in good elements, and the system in Togue ia acknowledged to possess all the good qualities claimed for it. Vi hat's the matter with your populism? Thb question ia not one of expan sion. The country haa already ex panded as a direct result ol the war, ays the Albany Herald. Those who are talking and working against the Porto Bico-Hawaiian-Philippme re tention are not anti-expansionists. They are contractionista. Their contention if carried out, would mean not only the abandonment of the islands named, but also Alaska, the Pacific coast, Texas, the Lousiana purcbase, Florida, sod all the rest except the original thirteen colonies, ' and then would haul down the stars and stripes and humbly say to Great Britain, "Take us back and do onto us as seem- tb good unto thee." If the efforts to make a political issue oat of sustain' ing the issues of the war succeed, and the expansionists as a party cognomen is fastened upon those who npbeld the sustaining of the administration on these issues, then the opponents should be called "contractionista." If half of Columbia county's natural resources should reach the state of de velopment equal to that reached years ago by other sections of the state it would become one of the most import ant parts of the state. Not mention ing the vastly superior quality and quantity of timber that abounds here, the idle lands suitable for slockraising and fruitraising could be put to such an extent of use as to support many times the present population of the county. We look upon our timber and lumbering industries as fairly well developed, when in reality the bulk of Columbia county timber is yet un touched. The coal deposits of this county are certainly such as to attract attention. Sure enough, while the quality of e coal may not be the best or of the most valuable sort, yet it is snJScieutly valuable to make the en tire county immensely rich should it ever be developed. The practical cul ture of modern varieties of apples anJ other varieties of fruits is just begin ning to be understood by our people, and each succeeding year will here after add ten-fold to the importance and perfection of the industry. All the industries and possibilities of Co lumbia county have waited long, but we believe the day is near at hand when people will flock to within oar borders and make homes and help in the great work of development, and then will our county bloom as the rose, and industry teem on every band.

Lbah Wilsob, Teacher, AM ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF OUR WAR WITH SPAIN. Br Hon. H. B. Rrjsssx, Skuatob Pboctob, add Skuatob Thcbstob. '"PHIS aaagai&ceatly-illuitrated, richly filled, and scholarly volume gives complete and authentic history of the Spanish-American war from its beginning to its close. Its authors are three widely known men, Hon. Henry B Russell, the distinguished historian, Hon. Redrjeld Proc tor, senator from Vermont and ex-secretary of war, and Hon. John M. Thurston, sena tor from Nebraska. The subject naturally divides itself into two parts; I. How we got Into the war with Spain ; and II. Hour we got out of it and with what results. This volume tells the whole story, makes clear all the causes of action that led np to and culminated in the conflict; gives pen pictures of those who figured in it, end relates many exciting in cidents, brave deeds, and thrilling adven tures connected with the straggle. The mntterings of the distant war cloud, the in dignation and uprising of the whole people, North and South, when the veterans of the Blue and the veterans of the Gray took their places side by side behind the same flag, the departure of fleets of powerful modern warships, the march of hostile armies, the strife and carnage of battle on land and sea, the deeds of valor and heroic sufferings of our gallant soldiers and sailors in field and hospital, all are portrayed with consum mate skill. Every event is placed in chronological order, and the fullest and most "authorita tive statistics are given. As might be ex pected from the high positions filled by its distinguished authors, the war and navy departments and other branches of the gov ernment extended every possible aid to make this volume not only a standard and official history of the war, but the moat complete, well-rounded, and elaborate rec ord of the straggle that will probably ever be written. No three living American writ ers could more fitly assume Ibis responsible task or produce a more honest, truthful, end impartial book. Their entire familiar ity with the political history of thecountry, their fond of statistical information, their Independence and fearlessness, all guarantee that this work is one of mere than ordinary value. It presents a deeper, broader, more exhaustive exhibit of the long train of causes which culminated in the conflict than can be found in any other work. It is the most smpie, brilliant, and readable book that the war haa called forth. It is not only rich In historical information, but as instructive in its method of presentation as it is fascinat ing in narrative. It Is, in our opinion, the only book that rises to the dignity of a real history of the Spanish-American conflict. It needs no better introduction to the eighty millions of American freemen than the names of its three illustrious authors. The magnificent illustrations include a series of seven superb steel-piste portraits of President McKinley (from a photograph approved by himself), Generals Miles, Shat ter, and Merritt, and Admirals Dewey, Sampson, and Schley. It is worthy of note that these are the only steel-piste portraits of these famous men ever published. It also contains colored and elaborate maps, showing in grestdetsil Cuba, the Fbilipines, Porto BJco, the Hawaiian Islands, etc There are, besides, a large number of maps; and diagrams inserted in the text to illust trate battles, campaigns, naval operations, etc. There are also 32 magnificent full-page illustrations. In the preparation of these maps, steel-plates, and illustrations, no ex; pense or pains have been spared to make them all that art, skill, and talent could,1 produce. In no other history of the war: can anything even approaching them be EX-SHERIFF IASSIS IS EIRE Located Iri Garfield County, W&s?iiiiitoii. Returned oa Extradition Papers Is awnel by the Governor of Washington. Perhaps the people of Columbia county will not be surprised to know that George A. Massie. at one time sheriff of thiscoAnty, Is again in St, Helens, Bx-Sherirf Msssie arrived here last Saturday night on ths steamer Young America In charge of Walter Blnkealey, who had been armed with extra dition papers snd appointed by the gov ernor to And Mr. Maaaie and bring him back to this state and county. The infor mation of the whereabouts of Mr. Massls wss received by parties hare in St. Helens early in the month of December, but not tor nearly a month later wea there any par ticular effort made to get him. On Monday, January 2nd, Walter Blakealey started from here and proceeded to Pomeroy, Wash., in Garleld county, where he procured the assistance of ths sheriff of that county, and proceeding twenty miles east from that point overland, and Mr. Massie was located and arrested without trouble or resistance. The editor of this paper had an Interview with Massie last Tuesday, and learned that since Mr. M Susie left here he haa done con siderable traveling; however, he baa not been far from her for the last three years. When Massie left here on the S4th of November, 188S, under circumstance that all residents are familiar with, and which at this time are not worth reiterating, he went direct to his brother's horns In Ohio, where he remained some time. Leaving there, Mr. Massie says he does not care at this time to stste where he spent the next tew months, but tie says he wss where was doing well, snd had it not been for sick ness which prostrated him for several months he would have returned to Colum bia couuty long ago. After several months spent away from his relatives in the East hs again returned to them, and three years ago last July, Massie started west, locating in Garfield county, Wash., where he was joined the following October by his family and where he has sines resided np to the time of bis arrest, being engaged in farming. Mr. Massie slates that be has been doing well, and wae getting in shape to prosper. He haa a six-hundred-acre farm rented there, receiving one-half the crop for his share. Mr. Masaie says that he would like to have one statement made in last Sunday's Oregoniah corrected. The article stated that he had lived in Garfield county and was known there as Mr. Wheeler, which be says b unbue. He never attempted to die- close his identity by taking aa assumed name. He is and bas always been known there as G. A. Msssie, and he considers it an injustice that such a report would circulated. Mr. Massie expects lo give bonds ia a few days, which wss set by the circuit court in the sum of $3,000, after which he will re main in tbis county until the date of his trial is established by the circuit court. when he will return to his family and pre pare to operate bis farm the present year. His case will be tried in May. Other than appearing a little older, Mr. Massie is easily recognised by his traits and demeanor. He is free to talk of his exper iences, and greets his acquaintances in his old-time cordial manner. GOOD ROADS. louna. . i It is worth more than all other books and manuals on this subject, for in none of them nor in them all combined can be found so much solid information as this thoroughly standard high-class book contains, which has, in addition, many beautiful illustra tions and the inestimable value of being truthful. If we speak warmly of this book, it is because it is richly worth all the praise that can be bestowed upon it. The book is sold only by agents, and is published by the old reliable Ann of A. D. Worthlngton A Co.. Hartford, Conn., whose imprint is sufficient guarantee of the excel lence ef this first- class volume.

You are perhaps aware that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an at-) tack ol la grippe. During tne epidemic ol grippe a tew years ago wnen so nisny cases resulted in pneumonia, it was observed mat me attack was never followed by tbat diabase when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or la grippe to result in tbst dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in the world for bad colds and la grippe. Every bottle warranted.

This demand is rapidly growing in volume and is tsking on the systematic organisation which ia essential to the suc cess bf such a movement. Tbat bad roads in tbis country causes sn enormous loss of money each year lo those who use them may be easily proven, but this fact ia veiled from many persons because they have never known anything better. Tbe farmers are the greatest suffers. Where wagon wheels sink bub deep in mud st some seasons, the farmer who has much hauling to do must keep one or two more horses thsn be would need if be had only hard, even roads to go over, snd his loss In the wear and tear of horseflesh, harness and wagons is a heavy tax on his income. It often happens thst ths farmer finds ths roads absolutely im passable with a loaded wagon Just at the time when his produce would bring tbe highest price if he could haul it to a rail road, and be is forced to wait and take a lower price later. Livery stable keepers sod all other owners snd Users of bones snd vehicles suffer from bad roads in a similar way. In otdsr to obtain better roads two things ars necessary. Tbe first Is to create a gen eral conviction tbat the improvement of our highways is Imperative and the money wisely expended for this purposs is sure to return. Tbe second requisite is to place all road making and mendingunderthe charge of competent road builders. Various ef forts to secure these eads are being made and the aid of county and state authorities snd even the federal government has been invoked to further tbe movement. While it Is very desirable that the highways of ad joining localities should be under some central supervision, so tbat they may be made to perform a connected whole, it may be questioned whether the national govern ment could be an effective agency in road Improvement.. Why, for Instance, should the dwellers beyond tbe Mississippi be taxed to maintain in the state of Oregon a school for road engineers, who would teach plans for effective road work adaptable only on this coastT Could those distant locsli- tiss derive a direct benefit from our school T A more practical scheme would be to bsvs instruction In rosd engineering given at each of the state colleges of agriculture and mechanical arts. In a country show ing such a wide difference in soil, rainfall, temperature and topography between dif ferent sections as ths United States does, rosd building can be taught and adminis tered far more efficiently by tbe county or state than by the nation. There is need of much intelligent care In framing legislation in the interest of ths movement of better rosds. Annoying pro hibition should be no part of tbe policy of the road reformers. For instance, largs loads carried on wheels having narrow fel loes and tires do great damage to roads ; hence it bas been proposed to brobiblt nar row tires oa hesvy wagons, and In soms states such a law actually exists. The movement for good rosds shows a insty vigor. The success thst It has already aohieved is splendid testimony to the ef ficiency of voluntary associations of Indi viduals, and if Its leaders continue to carry it on without the paralysing patronage of the general government it ia likely to attain great results.
