What Columbia ootmtv needs U Hoi tbe acquisition of a class that comet, with not a dollar left after land ing in ths oouulry, at baa been tng- nested by aouie who hare recently written hers far iuformation. o- souroe and poaaibililiea are plentiful but I ho class wa Ueaira ia tha on that can assist in the work there it to be done. We want an element capable of taking care of itself for at least year after its arrival here. It require! time and capital to hue out a borne here, and tbe people wo deaire are those able to meet the demands which will con front them. Thk preliminary steps taken by St. Helens people within tbe last few days looking to the improvement of the Nehalem road ia tbe inauguration of a system ol road building which merit and will receive the endorsement and co-operation of every public-spirited and enterprising person, whether di rectly benefitted or not. The move ment is one leading np to a system of toad-building whioh will undoubtedly spread throughout the state, and ex tend its relief-giving results Into the most remote sections. In this part of Oregon no other than a plank or cord uroy road will stand the test to a de gree of satisfaction, unless it be Mac adam, and that is not within our province on account of the enormous expenditure of both cash and labor, while tbe Bret-named method is pro vided for by nature to a great extent, or almost entirely. The road which it ia proposed lo improve is located al most entirely through a splendid body of timber, the use of which will be freely given, consequently lessening the oust of material, and aiding in a vast degree to tbe early consummation of the enterprise.- To dwell upon the benefits accruing is but to rehash a threadbare story. The result of having a well-improved road out of Nebalem valley to St. Htleus ia apparent to everybody, and all that is now needed ia the assistance of tbe people in the consummation of tbe project. It seems to u that opposition to the matter, if any is to be had, would be tha molt of not thoroughly understanding the law under which it is intended to pro ceed in the premises, or else through dense ignorance of tbe good results. Rucb a commendable movement, it seems to ns, certainly deserves the ap probation of every resident of Neha lem valley, the people living along tbe line of the proposed improvement and those at either terminus. Z1 What shall we eat and drink J is a question now calling forth a good deal of consideration at the present time. One after another of tbe great doctors have set a seal of condemnation on nearly everything that we like. To matoes, we are warnod, breed cancer. Cucumbers give colic. Beans are over rich and destructive of digestion. Beef contains the germ of tapeworm. Pigs and chickenfhave tichinae. Bugar, bread and peas tend to diabetes. Wine gives goat. Tbe "old oaken bucket" is infested with disease germs, and besides that, the water of the well, not being properly aerated, is prolific of malady. Even the bubbling spring . bears typhoid in it waters, coming as they do from no man knows whither. Milk, the accepted type of innocence, is a disseminator of tuberculosis and other dread diseases, besides being in digestible to grown-up folks. And now comes a great German scientist, to warn ua against chemically pure, distilled water as a positive and active poison, destructive of the mucous membrane, and otherwise alarmingly deadly. Now, we had all settled down on distilled water as the one safe thing in the world to swallow. It Is rather unpalatable, oi course; it is trouble some to procure, and it is by no means satisfying to the craving of a hungry, thirsty man; but at any rate we be lieve it to be unimpeachably whole some and mi thoroughly safe that our drinking of it, even with a grimace of disgust, we have regarded it in the light of an almost supererogotory act of virtue. Again, what are we to eat and drinkt The doctors thesudve who prenouuee all these anathemas against solids and liquids eat and drink whatever they like. Some of them eat mince pie at midnight and regale themselves in the small hours with Welsh rabbits and mulled clarets or hot Scotches. Shall we follow their precepts or their practice THIS PUBLIC BCOOJUS. Ananal Elections for Officers to be Hold Next Monday. The date for the annual school elec tions in the several school district throughout tbe county is drawing near at hand, and the importance of zer oising care and uruuence In the ! lion of pVraons to fill the important positions of director and clerk devolves a duty upon the patron not to be lightly treated. Wlielher retiriug of ficers are to be re-elected or other persons chosen to take up their duties, the same rwponsibuity remains, aim it is to be bped that whoever may be called to perform those functions will enter upon their duties with a deter mination to promote tbe interests ui our public institutions. Tbe newspapers, the public schools and the churches of a community are what the people make them, and strangers judge the people of a local. itv by these things. Tbe newspaper goes everywhere, end if it shows an eulerpriaiug spirit, is broad and liberal in its views, of healthy morals and well patronized, showing that it ha lbs good will and reaped of the busi ness men, it is a truthful representa tive of the people. And wbeu the newspaper shows what the public school is. how many teachers are em ployed, what branches are taught, how far advanced the grades, the number of months of school, the number of graduates at the end of the term, and that the patrons are pleased with the manner with which it is conducted, the readers of the paper sum It all up and pa judgment on the school. Tbe school is tbe most important oi au our public institutions, and is and should be the common jrround which permits of no differences of opinions. Neither politics nor religion should ever be al lowed to enter its precincts. The newspaper may teach poll lie and the churches teach religion, but they are, to a ureal extern, supported J peopl of a like faith with themselves and for those very purposes. The publio school is over and be yond these things. It is supported by the great public Christian. Heathen and infidel, populist democrat and re publican for the purpose or ground ing the youth of the community in the fundamental principles of a practical education. No man, however, who is fit to exercise the duties of a school di rector or clerk is without his religious and political predictions, but there are many men who would never allow ibeir political or religions prejudices to interfere with Uie most liberal conduct of the publio school, and it is sncb men we want to see elected on the school boards. Show your interest in the matter by attending the school meeting in your district and see that tbe best men are chosen. REUBEN MOTES. Dr. H. E. Cliff made a pleasant call at this place Friday. Jar Archibald is visiting at Long Beach for a lew days. Lyman Merrill and John Splawn. of Deer Island, were in town Saturday. Mrs. Sanford Butts, of Lone Beach. Wash, returned home by boat Friday.

P.. made a busi ness trip to Portland Wednesday. There has been two names added by petition to the list of nominees for town trustees J. B. Dosn and J. E. Brons and J. W. Stacy for marshal. And the end is not yet. Mrs. Janner Lewis, of Clatskanie. died at Good Samaritan hospital, Portland, on the 22nd of last month, and was bur ied at Clatskanie on tbe 24th. Mrs. Lewis was well known to nearly every one in Rainier ss Julia Glibbert. Bhe was a bright and beautiful woman, and will long be mourned by those who knew her best. Tub County Pafsb. Ths one great secret of success in country newspaper work is "keep everlastingly at it," and you cannot attain even a partial de gree of success unless you da It is sn easy matter to get out a single issue of a weekly paper and every line in it may be well written and show a marked originality, and typographically it may be the work of perfection ; but the suc cess comes in doing this work over and over again with the same care, dili gence and thoroughness for months snd years Ibst ws exercised in getting out the first number here comes the drag and the weariness. Tbe glamor wears off, and only dull routine labor remains illy paid at that. Not a single number or detail must be neglected or tbe publio will be quick to notice it and retaliate by withholding its meagre favor. A BETTER ROAD TO VERNONIA. Meeting of CI tlsons Held to Consider tbe Matter. Pursuant to a request to the citlsena of this city to meet and discus the matter ol improving the enmity road from St. Helens to Vvrnonia, twelve or fifteen of the business men met at tbe law office of Dillard A Day last Satur day evening and proceed to business by choosing E. E. Quick as chairman and David Davis as secretary. A thorough discussion of the matter was entered into, and while all that was cooiiipliahed was of a prelim inary eharaoter, the action has so far resulted in some substantial facts beiag brought to the surface. Mtwrs. W. B. Dillard, A. B. Little and David Davia were appointed a committee to confer with Mr. O. J). Qilson, of Houlton, a regards a right of-way fur a county road through his possessions from a point wtwre Wit lamette street terminates at the west ern border of thecity limits, and ascer tain other desirable information, and report at a meeting of the oity council held last Monday evening. This step was deemed advisable in order to straighten the route from Houlton to St. Helens, and its aims were accom plished, as Mr. Gilson freely consented to execute a deed to tbe county to lands sufficient for that purpose. The question of securing the rigbt-of-way baviug been satisfactorily accom plished, the council ordered an appro priation Iroin the general fund of ibe city of 100 to be used in cutting out and accomplishing the preliminaries to opening Willamette street to the border of the city limits. This aotion seemed necessary be cause of fear of complications arising with the county where a city incorpor ation is to be dealt with, as ths city authorities have jurisdiction over the manner of improvements on streets within the city limits. It is now pro posed and deemed advisable to set forth tu tbe petition to the county court to proceed with the improvement contemplated under tbe set of 1893, to commence tbe improvement at a cer tain point in a certain street in the city of St. Helens, on ths bank of the Colombia river, and thus done the street must be dedicated to the county as a county road. The committee appointed last Sat urday evening remains in existence and is empowered to call soother meet ing at any time it may elect, in order to ascertain the wishes of the citizens and council in proceeding with tbe preliminarie looking to the opening up and improvement of the county road clear through to Vernonia. It ia almost an assured fact now that under the provisions of the law en acted at tbe 1'J3 session, tbe work of road improvement will be proceeded with. It is an undertaking of much importance, and involves a good many points in law, hence much judgement must be exercised and time taken to carefully consider ths several points. School Book Traat lost Its Grip. Tbe stale legislature redeemed Itself In ns respect. It downed the American Book Trust by passing the Daly text-book bill. There Is little question that the greatest battle of the session has been between ths friends of the Dsly text-book bill and tbe Americas Book Company, and tbe dram atic scenes enacted in tbe bona sa the strug ele was drawing to a class ware not entirely unexpected. It has been a straggle between principle and ths best interests of tb publio schools on tbe one band, snd a book trust that has been charged, either rightfully or wrongfully, with levying tribute opoa the school on tbe other. This tribute, accord ing to the allegations of those who have been la the thickest of tbe fight ia opposi tion to tbe continuance of the book trust influence, has been predicated both upon lbs excessive prices charged for tbe school books and the poor quality of book them selves. Now, that tbe back of this so-called hydra-beaded octopus baa been broken, a more successful future for the educational work of tbe slate Is predicted., Tbe Ameri can Book Company, attains! which ss Uiuch has been said, is still in ths ring, but only in competition with other publishing bouses. It ia now a free-for-all fight for preference, and the books that may In fu ture be adopted will bate to win en their merits. There is no denying tbe fact that tbe American Book Company has done Its ut most to defeat tbe Italy bill, and this fact. perhaps, coupled with its cheap snd uselesaJ lobby, has operated in the s access of tbe bill. The paid agent of tbe book company have had little influence on ths members of tbe bouse, and the bill night perhaps have been mure easily defeated had they kept out of Ids house. As one member remarked, Such a lobby of itaelf is sufficient to defeat m Mil.-,. ..
