when he will roturo here and undergo

Murkle Bros, have purchased and
shipped to their ("Kging camp on the
Ooweeman.a very large logging donkey
engine. They have been duing the
work ia thoir camp with one engine,
but find it to be unequal to perform
the work which they expect to accom
plish this season. The high price of
loirs la very encouraging, to logger, and
preparation are now being made for
an Immense output all along the Co
lumbia tii ib year.
There are two stray cay uses on the
Germany hill range that should be
laknn care of by their owners. The
animals have been fed by Mr. Ueorge
Lomout a grUr pit of the winWr,
but "forbearance baa ceased to be a
virtue," and George says he can no
longer afford to feed tbem. One ii a
gray, the other a sorrel, and an effort
should be made to find their owner.

The tax roll wilt be turned over to the

extending the tax on the roll, which
work, by the way. was delayed low

Representative Hull introduced

' the ealarie of the county oflloora of
this county, by reducing the salary of

allowing $000 for deputy hire; inoreaa-
iiig treasurer from f ouu to X(HX); county
Judge, 1500 to $725; giving assessor
900, instead of per diem, and school

Bt Helena to Ntlmlera vU y, and is
ready and anxious to pay lit portion

enterprising oitiaena. the proposed im
provement would be a reality in abort

glad to pay the full amount in lumber

We received by nmilU.t week a cat
alogue from a San Francisco printing
vetablishment, containing all the form
and instruction for making applies
lioutobe declared a bankrupt. We
are not In the bankrupt business, our
selves, but if there are any more popu
list editors in the county who are con
templating taking advantage of that
law, as did Bauford and Mr. Vander-
tierg, the late populist candidate for
congress in the first district, we will
gladly loan them the book.
The News aays that after a thorough
canvas of the situation it is convinced
that business conditions in Portland
are better at present than they have
been since the panio of 181)3. Isn't
that a paroxysm! Timea have been
good for so long that ordinary people
liav lost sight of the fact that any dif
furent edmlitions ever prevailed. Most
people are wrapped up in the pursuit
of business matters so that the state
ment, coming at the time and from
lite source it does, is looked upon as a
sort of a jsh. '
Did you ever hear of tha town of
No-good, on the banks of the river
fflow, where the sometime orot her
scents the sir and the soft Givcay:
grow? It lie in the valley of What's
1 ha use, in the province of Let-lier-stide;
it tha home of the reckless
I-don't-care, .where the Give-ll-ups
bide. The town is aa old as the hu
man race and it grows with the light
of years; it ia wrapped in the log of
the idler's dream ; its streets are paved
with disordered schemes and are
sprinkled with useless tears.
At the present time there if a spirit
of improvement and progress in the
atmosphere. The people have aroused
themselves from the effect of Ave
years of panto depression. The dairy
Industry in Columbia county Is at
tracting the attention of people who
sire desirous of going into it; those who
have timber claim and the lumber
beamen, ainoe the passing of the Nio
aragua ranal bill, feel satisfied that
times are wonderfully better, and the
local improvement that are going on
tndicate.healty and progressive growth.
Five year of mish a apirit will make
Columbia county a bee hive of industry.
Tha cannerj combine is a scheme
of the grafter, pure and simple, says
the Welcome. If our old oannerymen,
who have been in the business for
year, do not know enough to conduct
the business without the aid of some
promoter who could not tell the differ
ence between a ohinook salmou and a
aand hill crane, I hoy would better go
out of the business. It mutt be Bat
tering to the pride of auch men a 1
King, Cook, Hanthorne, Megler and
other to have some dude from the
East step in and tell them how to run
a cannery. If a combination would
be beneficial, it can be affected without
the aid of an outsider. This advice
costs nothing, but it is well meant,
A very pleasant evening was Spent
In the castle hall of the Knight of
Pythias last Thursday by the member
and friend of A va temple, Rathbone
Bister, The occasion was the confer
ring of the work on three candidates
by the staff of officers of Orphea tem
ple or Portland. The visitors, about
forty In number, arrived duwn on the
Bhaver, and the work was proceeded
with at once, which occupied the lime
until near midnight, after which lunoh
was served, speeches made and a gen
eral good time indulged lu until 8
o'olock, when the Telephone arrived
and the visitor departed for home.
The St, Helens contingent were highly
pleased with the work throughout, and
we believe tha visitors enjoyed them
aelves, The staff from Orphea is de
serving of much credit for the profic
ient manner with which every detailed
part of the work ia done. The result
of the. visit will Inspire the home tem
ple to renewed energy, and we believe
the paoe is set for a healthy growth of
the local lodge.
Tug Mist was the only paper In Co
lumbia county to furnish It readers
with the news that Freeman's grist
mill, at Fishhawk, waa destroyed week
before last by fire. They are all fairly
good papers, but in order to keep
posted on what Is happening In the
county it is absolutely necessary to
read xn mist.
County School Superintendent I. H,
Oopeland, Mr, . S. Way and u. O

litigation for soms time, but the suit
will be settled snd the works allowed
to resume operations. The Linnton
works Is the only smelter in Oregon,
while Washington has two, one at Kv
rati and one at Taooma.
The more creameries we can secure
for neighborhoods In Columbia connty
the more cows there will be milked,
the product of which will bring more
money into the county and necessar
ily more permanent Improvement will
result. Encourage oreameriea, by all
means.

Prospects foe This Hammer are Very
Flattering.
Tu following is taken from tbs Astorlan
of last Friday, and will bs of greater or less
interest to ths people of this county!
"J. H, Griffin, s well-known timber cruis
er, returned yesterday from Bt. Helens
wbsrs b bad been eiamtning timber lands
for Michigan capitalists, with a view to pur
chasing for sawmill plants to bs started In
th near future. Hs ssy there Is consider-
sbl good timber In Oolumuls county still,
but most of It Is rather remote from th
streams, says th Oregonlsn. When asked
wbsrs th bulk of tbs available timber lies
now, hs said the Kehalern. Wilson and
Traskorseks and their tributaries stbl eoa-
taln lsrgs bodies of fir, 'cedar and sprues,
and thers is also s largs amount of Umber
at ths head of Lewis rivsr aad on th Wasb-
ougal, in tbs stats of Washington, On
Gray's river and on young's rivsr. trlbn
Isrlns of ths lower Columbia, luuob first
elass timber can still bs found. Most of tbs
timber lands of Oregon and Washington
bar paused out of tbs bands of t be govern
ment, and art being bsld by private per.
sons, wbo ars awaiting a rise in values. Mr.
Griffin thinks Iher will be a general inquiry
for these lands on tbs part of Eastern people
In tbs near future. Ii predict also that
both the Pennoyer mill in Portland and the
large sawmill at Bktmokawa will soon be
running at full blast, Tb two mills to
gether bavs a capacity of ever 200,000 feet
per day, and when tbey atart np tbsy will
put several hundred man at work In ths
logging camps snd abont the mills them
selves.
"Timber locators bsv bean busier In this
section, la'ely iban for several years past
Their work Is almost wholly confined to
Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties,
snd particularly to those psrts of tbs latter
two counties tributary to tbs Nebalem river.
Many settlers ars also filing on timber land
on tb Washington aid of th Columbia.
Tbs country through which the Nebalem
flows is considered by lumbermen to con
tain tbs best logging show on ths entire
Peclfle eoaat. Millions of feet of the finest
sprue and fir grows for miles on tbs banks
of th rivsr, with plenty of water to take
ths logs to tidewater st sny season of the
year. Export cargoes cannot be sent out
on account of ths sbullow water and ths
dangerous sand spits at tbs entrance to ths
bsrbor, so the mills there st present are not
operated more tkan bait ths year. Aa ap
propriation by congress for building a Jetty,
similar to Improvements mads to harbors
In tbs South Bend country, wonld result In
(treat benefit to the people of Tillamook,
Utatsop and Columbiaoountle. A veritable
boom In timber, both In mill sad logging
operations, may be looked for with the open.

In a gensral way summer pruning pro
mote fraitfulness, whlls if wood growth Is
desired, prune In winter. The explanation
of this is that great growth and great frait
fulness do not go together. A plant must
reach a certain degree of maturity before

food at tbs time the buds are forming is
desirable for bet results. .
