The contribution to the Oregon sol
diers' monument fund by the people of
6t. Helen waa not only an adequate
. amount for a little place, but a pretty
tribute and a highly commendable act
of patriotism and loyalty. The individ
ual amount, a a general rum, won
mall, but the aggregate waa sufficient.
If every town In Oregon will contribute
proportionately, the fund will be suffi
cient to erect a moat beautiful monu
ment to the memory and heroism of
Oregon' regiment of volunteer soldier.
The delinquent tax roll a returned
by the sherilf last Saturday contained
$8,802.66. Thi roll is being copied this
week by the clerk, who will attach the
warrant for collection, ten days time
having been given that officer to accom
plish the work. Taxes are still being
received at a rapid rate by the sheriff,
who is receipting for the same, and due
credit will be given on the delinquent
roll aa aoon aa it 1 returned to him.
Over 2000 ha been collected on the de
linquent roll, and Deputy Hattan inti
mate that the amount to be advertised
will not exceed 11500.
Assenor White did not attend the
meeting of the asaesaora of the state
hold in Portland thia week, falling to
see wherein any good could come from
such a meeting, a the assessment for
1800 is praotically finished. Mr. White
says that had such a meeting been held
before the aiserament was made for thi
year, there might have been some bene
fit from it, but it would take him at
least two month to revise his work in
case any change were made. Mr.
White made the aaaeaament thia year
long the same line of valuation as he
did when a etate board of equaHxa
tlon was in existence, and considers the
work to be sufficiently thorough to be
atlafaotory to the county court.

reparation for a Bis; Celebratloa
by Ht. Helen People.
A meeting of the citizen of Ht. Hel
en waa held in tha iftnfnnnn win...
day to take steps for celebrating the ar-
TMui urn ureguur volunteers at this
place, while en route from Aatorla to
Portland. The meeting was presided
over by Mayor Dolman, and the coun
cil took an active interest in the mattor.

mounted on the bluff at this city, to
be used to (J re the national anlute aa the

it wag agreed to appeal to Mujor llrooka.
oi Vancouver, anu to tne governor o;
thi atute at once.
There will be a ronaing celebration
urro ni mi event, me oliain oi cir
cumstances following through tha rout
ine of preparation for thia great occasion
uas nuen aucn aa to place Ht. Helena In
a most conapicuou position, and audi
an opportunity to display our metal
may never aaam nreaent ilnnlf. Thnra
will undoubtedly lie thousand of people
uiwirous oi accompanying tne vast num
ber of steamboat as far as Ht. Helena
who cannot be accommodated, and the
proper demonstration here will afford
means for many spectators to witness
the event.
Mayor Dolman, Councilman Dillard
and Hecordur Mayger were chosen by
the meeting aa a committee on general
arranireiuents. wKo will use their lust
endeavors to secure the presence of some
artillery and the men to operate the
guns. Mr. Dillard left for Vancouver
Thursday morning to arrange with Com
mander llrooka, and other preparations
are lielng made. The occasion will be
made one for general celebration, every
uitiEtia in me county oeing coruiany in
vited to embrace the opmirtunity and
join the people of St. Helena in thia
grand event. The city council appro
priated funda for the occasion and tha
citizena are contributing liberally to a

urauon.
Want No Iteoeptlon.
The transports arrived In Ban Fran
cisco late Wednesday afternoon carrying
me uregon soldiers. When the tugs
met the transport and tbe volunteers
were Informed that they were to be
mustered out at Vancouver they were
highly Indignant and demand being
mustered at Han Francisco. While such
a termination of affairs will be a sore
disappointment to the people of Oregon,
no particular blame can attach to the
action. The soldiers have been under
constant orders for a long time and on
the journey over from the Philippines
thev have Deen nocked on tha shins like
sardines in a box. Although a compro
mise may be effected and the soldiers
oo me to Oregon by water, at present
wore seems little nope lor such a course.
Present Ownership Books.
If It Is possible to accomnlish such a
thing, and we presume a better decree
of perfection and relibilily can DC attain
ed in all undertakings, the manner of
making and completing the assessment
of lands in Columbia county is to be im
proved upon, rendering far better results
at a somewbal'decreaiied cost of labor.
There arrived here last Haturday a set
oi present ownership books lor use by
Dotti tne ciork and assessor, escn book
so arranged as to contain all lands in
each range within the county, except
the lands In township 8 north, range 1.2
and 8 west, and in township 8 north,
range 8, 4 and 6 west are contained in one
volume. The left hand page in each book
ii o arranged that when a deed I re
corded a complete description can be
entered op, and on the right hand page
there Is a plat on which. can be platted
the exact parcel of land transferred, the
record of which will be kept by numbers.
The books, when placed in use will be a
complete abstract of every piece of land
in tno county, me cnain oi line continu
ing throughout the book. Tbe adoption
of the method will undoubtedly prove of
Incalculable benefit in conducting the
affairs of the recorder' and assessor'
office.
Hop Crop of 18O0.
That the hop crop will be unusually
large this year become more and more
a certainty as each day advance. Most
Jarda have been pruned that ii, the
eavea have been removed to a distance
of from three to five feet above the
ground. In some yards thi is done by
turning in aneep, wnicn eat on tne
leavea aa high up aa they can reach, but
In most vardi men wearing stout glove
go through and atrip the leave off and
pull up the auckera which spring up
around the base of the vines. The clear,
warm, "blowy" weather is not favorable
for the Increase of lice in the hopyards,
and if it were certain to- continue, there
would be no necessity for spaying.
There are very few lice on the vines, but
r i .i .
in many yaras spraying is oeing uuue
to kill what few vermin are on the vines
and so prevent them from getting a good
start should there come a spell of warm,
moist, muggy weather, which la favora
ble for. their development. Tboae who
are apraving their yards are well aware
that if the present weather should con
tinue, tbe work will be so much labor
lost, but they are also aware that the
few lice now on the vines would be able,
if the weather condition favor their In
crease, to fill their yard as full of lice in
a week a aneol l tun oi nuaier.
Inspecting State Land.
State Land Agent L. B. Geer, of Salem.
went to Oregon City Tuesday and will
spend the next ten days looking after
the state's interests in Clackamas county.
Ha msv alao go into Multnomah. Col
umbia and Clatsop counties before re
turning. Ilia object is to examine lanua
upon which the state has mortgages, or
which tiie state ha acquired loans. He
will collect delinquent interest and eee
that tenants are taking proper care of
atate land.
A Big Logging Deal.
The Tillamook Logging Company
closed a contract last week for furnish
ing the Truckee Lumber Company, of
that place, with 24,000,000 feet of logs.
The prioe is not made public, but the
deal involve more than $100,000. Per
formance of the contract will moan con
siderable work for the loggers of that
county. The Tillamook Logging Com
pany recently put in two donkey en
gines, o it 1 well equipped to do the
work.
Senator McBrlde Recovering.

post graduate hospital, New York, where
he had been for weeks, recovering from
the effects of a painful and delicate op
eration. The senator expects to leave

TO WELCOME THE BOYS.
Flan for Their Reception by the
Home People,
Ths Mist believe that it would be a
commendable act of courteou recogni
tion of the good service of the boy if
the citizen oi Columbia county, and e
peclally those of St. Helena, would ar
range for a reception for the volunteer
about to return from Manila, belonging
In thi county. There are (even mem
bers, we believe, of the Oregon regiment
from thi county, and while they will
doubtless be publicly received by the
citisen of tbe various localities, It be
hoove us, a resident! of the county seat,
to extend a hearty welcome to every
gallant young soldier whose residence fa
within our county' borders. It might
be wen to call a meeting oi our people
at once that committees might be ap
pointed and other necessary steps taken
to give the boys a reception be fitting
the occasion. When it is definitely
known on what day the regiment will
return, an evening should lie net apart
for the reception. We might have ex
ercises consisting of addresses by promi
nent cltizmis of the county, responses
by the soldier boys, patriotic songs, the
display of Old Glory, and, perhaps, in
dulge in a little dancing. These exer
cise could be held in the big hall, which
Is amply large enough to accommodate
hii who coum conveniently nitena. ihi
Mist merely offers this outline as a suit
gestion, and we are sure if a meeting is
held ,this programme would be Improved
upon. Borne recognition of the boys'
gallantry and loyalty ihould be made by
tne nome people, and at present nothing
better than this plan suggests itself to
us. we are satisfied our endeavor
would bo duly appreciated.

TIMBER HARD TO GET.
L. J Raldern Say tioggng la Ex-
pensive Business.
L. J. Saldern, a pioneer logger, re
turned to Portland a few day ago from
Gray' river, where be la fitting up a
new logging camp, to which place he 1
removing hi Clatakanie plant, say the
Oregon lun of Saturday, lie is building
four mile of railroad to tap an almost
Inexhaustible belt of yellow fir, and he
expects to begin rafting early tliis win
ter. By the time he gets all ready to
send bis first raft to the Lower Columbia
mills, be thinks he will have spent
0",UVU.
Mr. Saldern say logging is not nearly
so profitable as it was seven years ago,
as the timber is getting further away
and more expensive to reach, while logs
are only bringing 84.60 to S.60 per 1000
leet, at tne hums.
Although logs are bringing more now
than they did four years ago, the figures
am not yet reach the 7 paid in itmz,
while stumnage costs a good deal more.
and other expenses are heavier than at
any time in the pant. He paid as high as
$50 dollars an acre for lands along Gray'
river, which he will be glad to sell for
i2 an acre when he get the timber cut
off. All of these lands will make good
farms or pastures when once cleared of
stumps, but these will require time and
labor to remove. He looks for an im
mediate advance in the price of lumber,
owing to the general demand that ha
recently aprung up, coupled with the
fact that nearly all the timber land of
tbe coast have now been bought up by
sawmill companies and speculator.
"When lumber goes uo." he aaid. "the
price of logs will take a rise, and I never
expect to see price of either come down
gam." .

day, Cyrus O. Taylor, the mail-carrier

so neglected his animals that their backs

lor had been warned by the officers, but
paid no attention to them. The fine was
suspended on condition that the horses
be not used again until they get well.
