Many peraone are leaving cncli week to autiafy tbla re Imitloas yearning, and Boon no one but newspaper people and the olllceni of the law will roiuain at tlielr posts. At that time there will be no nod of tho latter class, and we will be left alone. rTmoH roa A Switch. Mr. E. E. Quick waa circulating a petition among the bualuoaa men of the community last week, praying the Northern l'acillc Rail road Company to permit a awitch to their track being built at the Wikstrotu place. MuHra. Cburchluy lirotlior Hreo to do the work gratia if tho company will permit of the addition. It is estimated that many thousand corda of wood would annually be shipped from that point, and tuch an Improvement would prove of incalculable benettt to the people of the Unchulor Flat auction of country. On a raoBfacrwa Tons. The lateat party to leave for the mountain waa couieod of Messrs. N. A. l'orry, David Ifenahaw and W. 11. Riuith, who took IMuuage from thia city last Saturday evening on the Lewie river steamer, en route for the bills and mountains in the vicinity of MU Ht. Helena. The gentlo uien, while bent on an outing, will devote eomo time to prospecting lor minerula, at the aame time enjoying the pleasure of hunting for game and angling for the ticculent trout, of which the mountains and stream in that vicinity are said to abound. Supplies for a six-weeks stay were loaded into Mr. Perry's wagon, and it la poaaibla that the party will remain as long aa the grnb holds out Ii;aD in a Runaway. MIssMoeck, of Kalner, and Misa llertha Fryer, of In depondenoe, were enjoying a ride behind tho fuat trotter, lilack Diamond, yestor day, say the Oregoniait of the 20th, on' First street, when tho horae became frightened and WM soon beyond control. Moth passu ngura were thrown out, Miaa Moerk being dragged a short distance before the horse could be stopped. 8he was bruised considerably about the body, and a severe cut waa found on tho head by the aurgoon, who waa summoned, llotli young women were taken to their apartments at the Osburn house, on the Knst side, where they are being cared for after their shook. Miaa Fryer waa not injured. Orraaaaiva Gold Standard. Judge Blsnchard waa up from Rainier Monday in search of men to assist In operating hia large sawmill at that place. Mr. Blanchard could not secure desired as sistance in that town and Diet dlsap- s? lointment at thia place, lie proceeded o Portland Tuesday whore he hoped to tie anio tp nnd the nuiooer or men no needed to go to work. It's awful what demoralizing effect the maintenance of the gold standard haa had on business interest in the sawmill and logging camp in this county within the lout two year. Mill cannot be operated on ac count of it furnishing such a volume of labor elsewhere. It's "rackln." it' "depletln," It' "demoraliain.'' But then one satisfaction remains thore seems to be a painful scarcity of Coxoy's mrmie and free soup houses. A Maniac fiuiomna. Rainior people were very much wrought np last Friday by the presence of a crazy man, who mail hia appearance In the town about noon that day, and proceeded to terror ise men, women and children by his In decent acta and display of fire arm. From whence the roan caine nothing definite is known. It is said that he boarded the steamer Baker at this place on her down trip Thursday night and created considerable unpleasantness by refusing to pay his fare, making bis statements decidedly emphatic by means of a Smith & Wessen revolver a an In ducement to allow him to ride unmo lested. Whore the man left the steamer no one sooms to know. He left his shoos on board and from Hint time remained barefooted. When an attempt to cap ture hira at Rainier waa made he defied the city marshal and everyone else in or without authority, and hia demands for right-of-way were granted without dis cussion. The mon was undoubtedly vi olently Insane. After leaving Blanch ard's wharf lie ran at break-neck epeed up the railroad track and when passing the Smith mill he was observed and pursued by Al Lee and George Lane. The man, upon noticing that ho was be ing followed, turned on hi pursuer and warned them to annroach no nearer. He emphasised the warning by drawing the revolver ana starting auer me men, uthnm tin nlmnurl for HOlrlO distance. This performance was twice repeated, The last time. Mr. le hid himself in the bush while the man pursued Mr. Lane. The point roached by thia time waa almost up to Danby, where the man flnnllv fnnk n.fntrn In the river, when he placed the muzzle o( the revolver in hia mouth and quickly put an end to his trouble. Ilia body was at once recov ered and returned to Rainier, where an Innnnai. hold hv Justice Woodruff. No letter or papers woro found by which the man might be identified.

It Is surprising the lack of interest shown by our leading citixene In the welfare of the town a regards fire pro tection. As It Is now a small blaze at the north end of this place mean the total destruction of almost every build ing In the town, because of the lack of proper apparatus with which to light the lire tlend. With an amnio sunnlv of water on the briefest notice and the willlngnes of our healthy young men to respond to any demand, a surprining and fruitful resistance could be exerted to check the flames, should they start, if there wa a proper amount of hose at hand. A it la, there 1 scarcely good hose enouuh to reach from a hvdrant to a building on the opposite tide of the street, une Mm only to stop and think a moment to realise the danirer we are all subjected to. By all mean let tne city council take this matter In hand, and let each citizen stand firmly by their action, and supply the neces sary hone. This i an important busi ness proposition.

ClNCIltNO TUB WuBXLtBN. Columbia county is exempt from the bicycle tax, and when a citizen from that county is overhauled by a Multnomah county dep uty Bhenu, who demand f l.zd or that wheol. he naturally feels like an Ameri can prospector in Atlin, when confronted by a cordon ol mounted ponce, more la is no way of getting out of paying the bike tax. however, except by yielding up the wheel, which, of course, would be out of the question, unario 11. Humatreet. superintendent of the cold- storage plant at Uoble, was caught that way a day or two ago, and not feeling instilled in contesting the law all by himself, yielded ud iiifc tl.25. but the episode caused bim to do lota of think ing. uregontan oJ Thursday 01 luat week. It has been our understanding all the time that transient bicycles were exempt from taxation. Many of our local bicyclist ride their wheela to Port land and are not molested, and this re cent occurrence seem to be a case of cinching a country man just because it waa thought it coum ue accompiiuneo.. To Untwist Twisters. An Oklahoma f eniua haa deviaed a mean of untwist ng a cyclone, thus rendering it powor less in the prosecution of deviltry. Whenever he flnds one coning itseii ior business, he loads an old cannon (a new one won't do) with salt, and lust as the monster (which 1 the cyclone) getb within abont fifty or flfty-one yard of the trench, he shoot it (the cyclone, not the trench) in the bowela, and the entire thing is worked up into gentle zephyrs, both reiroaning ana coonng. Hut we nrefnr a collar. Some of thene davs that blamed old gun will mis fire and a cyclone will grab the man from Oklahoma by the nape of the neck, turn him inside out, lork tho hole out of hi cannon, blow Li ammunition wagon over into Missouri and maybe orue one will get hurt.

UIUI, and Miss Jennie Honeyman, of Port land, spent a few days of last week at Kelvin Urove, the property of Mrs. lion eyinnn, located near here. A Nim Baker was on hi way home from Portland last; Saturday and wa rounding Kocky pointi be ran into a cow canning him to break the forks of hia bi cycle and to carry it home on his bock. Misa Gertrude Vollenn. who ha been attending the high school at Portland, Miaa Grace Payne, of the Williams ave nue school and Mir tlattie Mullens, of the Monmouth Normal school are on a visit to their parents located here. There is to be an entertainment at the Que chapel at Scappoose on next Friday evenlmr, the proceeda to go toward pay ing off the church debt. We understand that there is to be a first-class pro gramme and ice cream and cake will be disposed of at a small sum. Mr. and Mrs. Amos Slavens, Tuck Slavona and wife. Kev. J. A. Ren- ahaw and wife, Mr. and Mr. Nim Baker and family and the Misses Mae and Maude blavens, with their lunch bos keto, wont to the grove at Scappoose on Friday last and had a picnic. Lunch wus spread on the around, all doins full justice to the tempting dishes. By letters received by people here from Mr. John Downing, who with his family, went overland intending to reach Republic, Wash., a month atro. we hear that he ha arrived at Ryan, Wash., and is now located there where he has found profitable employment for himself and son. Mr. Downing states in bis letters that tie baa enjoyed ins trip and that himself and family are in the best of health. Mrs. J. S. Bacon is in receipt of a letter from her son, Floyd, of the second Oregon volunteer, dated at the Presidio, in which he state that he is enjoying the best of health and that his company are living like kings. Floyd goes on to say that Tie would of liked to nave come to Portland, but as it is, he cannot com- Elain as they are having a tine time and ave all the liberty they want and have the best of board. The quickness of W. J. Fullerton was all that saved a serious accident happen ing; to Mrs. J. S. Bacon and Mrs. Blan chard, who were driving to St. Helens on Tuesday morning. A horse belong ing to Uio Uohman came tearing down the road and would surely have demol ished the buggy in which were the two ladioa, had it not been for Mr. Fuller ton's timely assistance. He was stand ing In front of the creamery and man aged to turn the horse in it mad flight. When the vouns neoble of Scannoose start in to do anything, they do it with success, as wa shown at their basket social which was held at the new school- house on Tuesday evening. Tbe Misses Cloniger, Duncan, Tompkins and West, who had charge ot the auair, are to be congratulated upon tbeir management and the good order which was had throughout the evening. Uulte a neat sum was realized from the sale of the baskets, which is to be used to help pur chase a bell for the school. Now that the volunteers who are from Columbia county are soon to arrive at their dilterent homes, why can we not give thorn a fitting reception to show our appreciation for tbe bravery they dis played throughout their whole cam paign? It would not only be an honor to banquet the boys, but the hearts of the parents would swell with pride to know that their brave sons who were willing to risk their lives for our coun try' honor, were shown some mark of respect by their friends and the com munity at large. We have a practical jokor in our com munity who is never happy unless he haa someone on the string. As he ex- f tresses it, "there is a whole lot of quiet un in a joke." Perhaps thore is for the ioker, but how about the other fellow ? t happened this way: Tbe joker and his victim met at the store one day last lust woek. In the course of their con versation the victim was asked if be had heard the news. Replying In the nega tive, he was informed that a baby had come to bless the home of hia brother. The poor innocent took it all in and waa very much surprised tnat no nad not been informed of tbe new arrival. That evening as the young fellow arrived at the ranch where he is employed, he told the news and in fact, he told it to every one he met, until it was pretty well cir culated. As he was on his way to church the next rooming, he met some more friends and had to tell thein the news. Judge of his surprise when told that his brother' wife was in church. For a moment he was paralyzed, and jumping on bis wheel be made for the store. If he could but Bee that joker there would be trouble, but as the truth dawned upon him, he changed his mind and a broad smile illuminated his face a he thought that the joke would not be on him, but hi brother, and he would be first to congratulate him. When he ar rived at hia brother' home he was met by that person himself who, with out stretched nanu, invited mm in to see the baby, which turned out to be a nine-year-old child they had adopted. With out a word the young fellow left the house and is now setting them up to tbe community at large. Local newspapers would be of more Interest if representative citizens, min isters, etc., would contribute to its col umns frequently. A country editor is not capable of handling all subjects that he should write about, and as the paper la the medium of local information, crit icisms, plans, knowledge, etc., we cor dially invite contribution irom anyone on anv subject of interest to our readers. Don't stand around and tell three or four men your view, but write them out on paper and hand them to ua and tell the entire community. You will thus help your town by helping its news paper to become uener anu origuier, For a complete stock of merchan dise call at Win. H. Dolman's. LOCAL AND PERSON At.
