OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER. IGNORANCE Bf DESIRE. "Colombia county l behind since October, 1!&5, in the payment of county warrants. In other words, for eTery dollarof warrants is sued in 1805 we are now paying $I.3i" Co lumbia Couuty News. Here we see a brilliant display of the ; same old desire to injure the interests of the county as has always been maoi fest by that paper. There is no legiti mate excuse for such a groundless statement unless it be through ignor ance or desire. There is not the slight eat excuse on the first grounds, be- cause the treasurer of this county has at least a dozen time during the past year issued calls for warrants, and each call has appeared in print for foursuc ' cessive weeks, and at the present time there is a call for warrant up to May 10, 1897, being printed19 months later than the date stated by the News. This same statement appeared in the Oregonian Of Friday, two weeks ago, and because the News found in it a weapon with which to cripple the in terests of the county, it took it for granted as the truth, and used its in fluence to apread such an erroneous and dangerous impression throughout the county. Ths Mibt corrected the statement in its last issue by stating the facts in the case, which, by the way, fail to corroborate the statements in the above clipping. Instead of pay ing 32 cents interest on outstanding script, there is but 13 cents interest be ing paid on the same. If the facts in the case were as stated in the clipping we wonder if county warrants would be now selling at 100 cents on the dol lar T We thick not. All the script of this county that is put on the market is very eagerly sought by persons who are anxious to pay par for it. If it had been a statement that would have assisted the county in its struggles to free itself from debt it would not have been given space, from all appearances. ' A bill passed the legislature last Friday creating new senatorial dis tricts for the state. The change in which Columbia coonty feels the keen est interest is that of placing Wash ington, Multnomah and this county into a joint senatorial district with the provision that "Multnomah is never to have a joint senator." That read like a romance, doesn't it? While Multnomah may never have or never need the joint senator, Multnomah will name the man, just the same. Its representation gives it that power. At the special schoolmeeting last Saturday night a very pretty question was raised. The provisions of the new law governing such matters makes it compulsory that in order to vote t pon the question of taxation the voter must be on the tax roll and pay taxes on f 100. Many were present who were taxpayers, but were disqualified because they did not pay taxes on the required amount. The News, in defining its political position last week, omitted the import ant feature of declaring that it was in favor of the free coinage of bankruptcy at the ratio of $1098.60 to nothing. ROAD IMPROVEMENT ACT. Provide Methods by Which Taxa atlon can be Employed. An act to provide for the laying out, con structing or improving county roadt and tiie levying of assessment upon adjacent lands benefitted to create a fund to pay the same. Section 1.

A Yankie addressing poor Paddy Asks, Are you prepared for the funf Ob ! tell ma what is it my laddie; By hoakey, you know I'll not run. There's a sawmill-man over at Yankton ; He has goats by the hundred or more; lie is sending them in to Nehalim, And you know there's a frolic in store. Its nonsince, says Paddy, you'r tellin', For Howard lives there a long time; He's up to the thricks of Nehaiem; He knows that as rowdies we're prime. ' Ould Pringle's sheep shot in the pasuture; You know he was left but a few; The goats might meet just snch disaster; Pat winks and says, Howard ven't, aca. Then Powel's sheep shot by the dozen, And others lost several shoate ; Yiss, men that is never a fussin' ; O, Howard, look out for your goats I Bill Pringle's sheep shot at the dooryard, Frank Peterson's horse in the field, And Elliott's cow at the barn; Yiss, Howard knows well we're all heel'd. But if be will act such a tally. I won at the Jnke-cack before; We'll surely feed Bridget and Hailie; We'll always have mutton goloare, McDcrr. P. B. "A PLEA FOB TOOK M'SNUFF." One bright thought his appetite tickles, Since he starved the sow and the shoats; He thinks of the coming sweet vituals When Howard comes in with the goats. School Report.

ScAPPOOBg, Or., Feb. 1. (To the Editor.) Unknown persons set fire to the wood belonging to Brown oV Hicks, of Portland, wbicb was ricked at the landing on the slough, near Johnson s place, about 7 o'clock Tuesday even ing, and about 750 cords are consumed.

Brother Davis in his last week's Issue at temps to whip the populist party over San ford's sheulder. We do not wish to be understood as upholding Sanford In any of his vilanies, for s more dishonest man never went unpunished, and if be had his just deserts he would be languishing lo prison instead of being allowed to go to pastures new to perpetrate his dishonest acts upon unsuspecting victims. It Is Banford and his ilk that has brought disgrace upon the name of populism, masquerading under the disguise of patriots, ingratiating themselves into the favor of the people by every artifice known to man; then when they are In a place where they have a chance to do good betray tbeir constituents in the basest man ner. It is such men that cause people to lose confidence In human nature, and be- leive that all mankind are dishonest. But the populist party Is no more responsible for the acts of Sanford than the republican party for the acts of any individual mem ber of its party. What a load any party would have to bear that would become sponsor for all the acts of each member of its organization ; what a burden the churches wonld have to carry if they were responsi ble for the shortcomings of their members. The shortcomings of Mr. Sanford should teach the populists a lesson, 1. s., not to pick up with every Tom, Dick and Harry that comes along blowing bis born in the name of populism or any other ism. Give a man time to show himself before clasping him to your bosom, and then there will be no cause for regrets. "Prove all things. and hold fast that which Is good. "Rainier Keriew. We just wish to ask the question Why did the Eaininr Review wait un til Taa Mibt stated the facts in the case before it exposed the enssednese of G. A. Sanford? The Review is sup posed to be an "independent" paper. supposed to treat all matters of public import with an onbiased mind. San' ford's true character was known to the Eeview management a long time be fore it became known by us or the publio, yet sn unbroken silence pre vailed until Tbb Mibt forced an ex pression of opinion. We do not know of any other than the populist party being responsible for Sanford. He was brought here and supported by that party, and certainly the republi can party is not responsible for him. it was done by parties from Portland in order to square some imaginary grievance Different facts may de velop, bnt for the sake of this com munity it is profoundly to be boped that the perpetrators are not numbered among Scappoose residents. The loss is carefully estimated to be nearly 3,000. ' While the loss to the owners is se vere and direct, the indirect damage to the community is vastly greater. Such tactics frighten purchasers, and as the wood business here is one of great importance, the bad effect are at once comprehended. 1). r r WW 0 ST. HELENS 0 HOTELS BT. HELENS, OREGON, T.
