OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
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.

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
