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. Ho

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.

The quickness of W. J. Fullerton was
all that saved a serious accident happen

on Tuesday morning. A horse belong

the road and would surely have demol
ished the buggy in which were the two

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

Don't stand around and tell three or
