Heokkst," who is now so gaged ia the newspaper business at Bainier, in answering an article ia The Hist of two weeks ago, is not quite so weighty in brain matters we had sup posed him to be. In our article we spoke of the Review management, but "Jack" throws down the gauntlet and rushes into print over his own signa ture and single-handed, and we now presume ourselves at liberty to deal with "Jack," alone, and not the Re view. In the first place, "Jack," you aay it is your policy to be sure of any' thine before you rush into print to con demnjhencayour slowness to condemn Sanforil, and just a little farther along in your argument you say our attack on Sanford reminds you of B coyote, which waits until all danger is passed, etc., and asks the question why did we not tackle Sanford before he left here. The reason we did not, "Jack," ia be cause it "is our policy to find out the truth before condemn." Sanford left here so quickly, as soon as he got out of the clutches of the law, that we had'nl time to learn of his hellery un til he was well away from here. We did not even know for sure, until San lord had gone, tiial be "did" you, "Jack," for flOO or $150. You, per haps, "Jack," didn't know it, either, until he had gone, but you suspicioned it, did you not, "Jackf If you will inform ns how we might have found those things out before they happened you will greatly oblige us. In the sec ond place, "Jack," your accusation of cowardice on our part fulls a little fiat when it is recalled to mind that we one time dealt with Sanford through our columns in such a way as to make it quite unpleasant for him, and he awas in the newspaper business at the same time, yet he failed to defend himself to the satisfaction of the public We cite you to the issues of Thb Mist of May 13 and 27, 1S93. That was when Sanford was bombarding Wall street with the Spanish fleet, last summer. Do yon remember, "Jack!" Our at tack on Sanford at that time- didn't look much like cowardice, did it, Jack?" Sanford didn't defend him self with his paper, as one naturally would suppose him to do, but he threat ened all sorts of calamities for us, such as shotguns, pistols, chained light ning, etc., but do you remember of our running, "Jack?" We observed your policy to letter. We found oat we were right before we went ahead. "Was that righ t, "Jack ?" We are really sur prised at you, after being "done up" by Sanford for nearly f 150, to get out and defend him aa hard as you know bow, but may be you have heard, "Jack," that Sanford was coming back, and there may be a little tinge of "cow- arddice" about your methods. Now, ''Jack," let us give you just a little bit of advice. It was unnecessary for you to rush into print over your own sig nature, because we are familiar enough with newspaper etiquette to suppose you would father any article in your paper, besides you would not have laid yourself so wide open to criticism. And further, when we are dealing with you, individually, which your signa ture to that ailicle gives us the privil ege, we could go into detail and soy a good deal, because well, you know, "Jack." We have chapter after chap ter of it laid away in the archives of our sanctuary which we could use if we were so disposed. You remember. Now, "Jack," will you be good? When a man becomes as thoroughly besotted with falsehood as the editor of the News R. H. Mitchell there i no reason in him. Saturated with misrepresentation, be levels his pop gun of abuse at Tps Mist, in the last issue of his paper, and now we pull the trigger and the charge slaps Mitchell in the face and brands him as a char acter who does not possess even a speaking acquaintance with the truth. Of course, we would expect Mitchell to do nothing less than defend Sanford to the best of his ability. They both are from Washington oounty, and this county la certainly not benefitted iq the least by the acquisition. . Mitchell says Tata lust ia a tax-dodger because Beegle & Davis gave in their Individ' ual assessments. Let ua ask Mr. Mitch ell if he ever was on a tax-roll in Co lumbia county. His name does not appear on either the 1897 or 1898 rolls. And further. Who ia the New Pub lishing Co.? There is no such firm or company on the 1&97 or 1898 tax rolls. We find the following on each of the rolls above mentioned: "E. B. Mo- Farland, nonresideut, printing press used by Columbia Co. News." Who it, or who was it ever in Columbia county that constituted the News Pub lishing Co.? Suoh a thing ia not on the tax-roll. Was the Ux paid by the News last year paid as company prop Arty? If it was we failed to find it on the tax-roll. And let ns say further, (hat the tax on the plant of the News was not paid until very late in Novem ber last, and not then until Sheriff Rice threatened to attach the plant and sell it out parcel by parcel until he had realised the amouut of the tax. The Newa ia a martyr. It would break its neck to save the taxpayers a few cents. But if it has such great inter est in the taxpayers why did it not pay its Ux earlier in the year and thus save the county the interest on $23.45 for several months. The Ux of The Mist, while not that much, was paid on March 16th, 1893. The News ux was paid eight months later. "The News received lest than $500 for print ing a larger UX list tnsn that lor which The Mist at one time received $1200 and at another time $800," says Mitchell. A more unreasonable lie was never uttered. The first tax list printed in this county for many years, if not the first, was paid for on July 20th, 1892, and amounted to $800. The next one printed in 1894, was paid for on November 14th, 1894, and amounted to $329.47. There was an $871 lie to start with. The third tax list Thb Mist printed was in 1895, snd was paid for on November 14, . 1895, and amounted to $217.45. So it will be seen that we could yet print a coupl more Ux lisU and yet be under the amount claimed by Mitchell that The Mist received for two Ux lists. Is Mitchell a perverter of the truth? We extend to Mitchell an invitation yes we issue him a challenge to accom pany ua on a research of the record to disprove the etatercenU conUined in this article. He will not accompany us, because records reveal truths, and Mitchel is not dealing in that com modity. His stock in trade is to mis represent. While, as Mitchell claims, Th Mist is a tax-dodger, Mitchell undoubtedly an adept aa a truth-dodger, An revoir, Mitch. ELECT ROAD SUPERVISORS. Measure Passed Legislature Wnlch la Apparently Good.

Result of Wrlte-Cp tn New Year's Oregonlan. Mt. Orai, Ohio, January ft), tftflO. David Davis, (Jt. Helens, Oregon. Dear 8ir rW bad sent us the Morning Oregon Ian of Jauuary 16th, giving description of Oregon by counties, and the description of your county struck us very favorably ; In fact the description of all were excellent. We are dealers In Umber and have been for years, and It seems from the description of Oregon there is surely enough Umber to last for years. I have a few questions I would Ilk to ask It not imposing too much on you. (Will en close envelope and stamp for reply.) You apeak about railroad land for sale, selling at $2.60 per acre. Is th railroad land well timbered, and what kinds, and how far from railroad ? Is it mountain land or roll ing, only? Could you tell us th expense of logging from woods to railroad that is, on this railroad land at 12.50 per acre and what does timber bring at railroad sUUon; different grades? How near 8t Helens or any other town of any note could w buy this $2 SO railroad land? Pleas gtre popu lation of 8t Helens and manufacturing In terests. Will yon please give ns the names of some of your leading lumber manufac turers In your tewn or oounty. Hoping you may not consider this imposing too tuuoh on you, w remain Yours truly, Kiai.Ee 4 Kay. One Prom Minnesota. Faauns Fills, Minn., Feb. 13, 1899. David Davis, St. Helens, Oregon. Dear Sir: Through a friend of mine, I got hold of tbe Morning Oregonlan of January 16th wherein I read a letter from you describing Columbia county. Yon say therein that there is considerable vacant land there, sub ject to entry under the homestead law. Now, I should like to know what kind of land this is heavy timbered or brush and prarie. Ia irrigation necessary? How far from school and market? This applies as well to good land as railroad lands you speak of in the same latter. Hew can a poor man make a living for himself and family while be gets a start on his land if bs should take up some? There ar several families in this neighborhood who would locate out West If they only knew that they could make a living for themselves and families uutil it could be gotten out of the land. Most of them have barely enough to take them out there. They have also homes here, but cannot sell at present From the maps I se that Columbia county must be between the Coast Bangr mountain! and the Columbia river, north from Portland. I am surprised that this county has not been settled up before now, unless tbe vacant lands are worthless, or sucb that they cannot be cultivated without great expense. How Is that! Which would bs tbe best place to stop at if 1 should go out there St. Helens, Ooble or Scsppoose? Could I get work out there with some real estate firm or in some store in which I have bad some experience her? I believe if the lands are fit for cultivation I could induce a good number from her to go out there and settle np tbe country. Good many here are getting tired of four to six months winter at from 18 to 40 below aero. If you can possibly find time to answer all these questions it would greatly oblige me, and it may do so me good for your county. Hoping to bear from you in the near fu ture or as soon aa possible, I remain Tours very truly, Hxubt J. Colvih. P. 8. I hav had eight years' experience in county treasurer's and auditor's office, if that could help me in securing employ ment. H. J. C. Another Front Dakota,. Taaai, 8. D.. Feb. 9, 1809. Mr. David Davis, St. Helens. Dear Sir: bare been reading your description of Columbia county in the Portland Oregon lan, and I would like a little faformaUon about buying railroad land. , Is it all tim ber land or is there some of It open? Can they work in the lumber woods in winter, or does it rain too much. What wages is paid in the woods and also In the sawmills? I am thinking of buying a farm soma place in Western Oregon the coming summer. At present I am running a hoisting engine and air compressor. Can yon put me in communication with some real esUte agent who has farms for sale? Respectfully, Mot Swam. Aa Honest Medicine for La Grippe. Geo. W.
