Mr. Teller ii a recently returned volunteer and Uia appointment will no tiouut, give general satisfaction throughout tho district. One good effect the recent rains have had is that of chocking forest fires, thus saving much valuable timber.

Should tlio storm fKtou cease it may prove blessing in disguise after all. The fishing season on tho Columbia this year has not keen as prolltable aa Irrevlous seasons, although prospects for letter reunite during the fall fishing sea mi n are good. It ia said that a numher of canneries will otmrate thla fall, and as steel head salmon are in big demand at phenomenal prices, the fishermen an ticipate a profitable year after all.

Miss Kennedy will begin a foui-inoiitliH term of school at Quincy, Or., next week. Hkumokawa Kugle. The unusual weather for Aygust which haa prevailed for over a week has had numerous tendencies. Camping pro jects have been deferred, those already In the mountains and at the coast have hurried homeward, farmers have been compelled to remain idle and sulfur their hity and grain, in many inrtances. to spoil, and altogether much damage has resulted. Mora money will be put into circula tion by the hop growers this year than aver before In the history of the indus try in the stale. This Is certain from the large crop that is to be gathered and tho hiuTi wanes that will have to bo paid to secure lab irers to save it. Hop pick ing is something that Is both a source of pleasure and profit to a large numlierof our people. Roceiver Galloway, of the land office at Oregon City, anys there ia a rush now fur tiinlxT land and homestead entries. In fact, the olllce ia having a midsum mer boom. All day long inquiries for plats of vacant land pour in mid many timber locations are being made in Olat sop countv, while numerous homestead entries are being mado in the Hantism country and tlie timbered section of l'olk county. Mr. Frank Dow cams np from Seaside on Tuesday. Many of the camiiers were leaving there and more would go hut tonts and camping outfits were so thor oughly Bonked with water that it waa impossible to pack them. Frank aaid he would hurry his family home liefore river navigation was completely shutotT with floating loe and rail transiiortation obstructed by snow and landsldes. It is reported that the chlttom tree from which chittem bark is peeled la be coming very scarce in this and other counties. As is well known, wherever the tree is skinned of its bark it soon dies and of course, is becoming scarcer, until tho chittem tree, at no difltant time, at the present rate of consumption will naturally be destroyed. The price of chittem bark under theae conditons will, in a few yoara, greatly advance. One of the features of the Oregon In dustrial exposition this season will be a war museum.

Much of the work is attended by little dillicuity, stilt when it is encountered, it is oi a mosi siui l orn nature and requires great diligence in order to correctly lialance the col umns of rates and values. The amount of assessable property in the county is each year becoming much greater, and while methods are Using simplified for doing tlie work, yet the undertaking is ono of great care and precaution. Tho summary oi uie ron hub yer win dud-i a large increase.

By our own ovoreight in our last news lotter we failed to mention the party tendered Miss Lulu Frakes two weeks ago. The ull'uir was a complete surprise to the young lady, but she was equal to the occasion and entertained her guests in a royal manner. Miss Lulu is a charming hostess, and those who were fortunate enough to be present expressed the wish that in tho near future they would have the opportunity to be the young lady's guest again. The social and entertainment given by the Sciinuooae Artisans last Saturday evening was a decided success. A hand some piano, which has just Iwen pur chased by the assembly, was presided over by Sirs. I. Perry, of Portland, who hold the large audience spellbound by her skillful playing, and waa forced to respond to numerous encores. The rec itation by Miss Vollins was good. The young lady ia a splendid elocutionist and well deserved the applause she received. Kalph Thomas pleased the audience with a song, as did also Mr. Chambers, who haa a good tenor voice, which he uses to good advantage. When Miss U race Duncan stepped upon the stage tho audience realized that they were to hear something good, and no disappoint ment waa had. Her recitation was de livered in a most charming manner and lier many admirers snowed their appre ciation bv frequent outbursts of ap plause, t he recitation by Miss ,iigiert was perfect. Taking it altogether it was a first-class entertainment. The Su preme Master Artisan, Mr. r . I. McKen na, of Portland, was present, and de livered an address, which was very in teresting. After the entertainment ice cream and cake was disposed of, which feature all heartily enjoyed. HOUITON NOTES. AI Henshaw was a Portland visitor last Sunday.

The ice cream social at this place was a complete success in every respect. A largo quantity of ice cream was disposed of and a lengthy programme, consisting of recitations, singing, etc, was ren dered. The funniest part of the pro- gramme was vne siiiKmg oi iuur muu "coons," who favored the audience with several songs. Something like f 14 was taken in. 8AUVIK8. Mr W. H.

Some of our young people attended an entertainment at Quincy school house last Thursday evening. ' The district lodge of Good Templars bad been hold its session there and brought together number of persons from other places. Mrs. Hall and boy and Mr. and Mrs. J. A. English were passengers on Uie steainor Monday evening for Portland. A party of campers, also ladies and gen tlemen from that citv, discouraged by the rains of the past few days, were also on board. Charley Meserve was hustling about town in the interest of the mercantile house in Astoria, where he ia now em ployed, last Monday. Charley haa the energy and the acquaintanceship in this county to be useful to any firm in a bus iness point ol view. Foundation is being laid this week for additional dockaize for the natrons of the steamer Shaver, which will prove quite a convenience to those who deliver shin gles and special orders of lumlier. The ground on both sides of the river is now covered witli lumber, Bhingles and cord- wood, coming to town taster than the steamer seems able to take it awav. This is an extensive shipping point, and needs the proposed work done toward straightening and improving the river. The United Artisans gave a social last week in Convers' hall that was lanrnlv attended and passed off pleasantly. A literary and musical programme was given and rendered more attractive by the assistance oi Miss tfarr in instru mental music and Misses Jones and Hiatt's vocal solos. F. J. McKenna. supreme master, or dictator, or captain, was present and delivered a brief ad dress lauding the merits and benefits of the order. After these exercises, a com mittee in charge furnished ice cream and cake to those so inclined, and every body seemed so inclined. A council meeting is called for next week to consider petitions for and against the passage of an ordinance pre venting swine irum ueuig Kepi, in any inclosure within 300 feet of a dwelling house. Such an ordinance has been pe titioned for and drawn up, and next week parties both for and against will be heard. Iu a few instances in this city pig pens are maintained so close to dwellings that the occupants thereof are continually regaled with odors more powerful than pleasant and much more pungent than palatable, while the grunt and squeal of his pigship in his pen are sounds most discordant and harrowing. We await with interest the consideration of the subject by Uie city fathers. A wagon load of smiling faced indi viduals left here Saturday morning for Quincy to join a party there in an ex cursion and picnic to Beaver falls. A good time is reported, but a visit to the falls, on foot, up tlie stream from where the road ends, is a matter of consider able etfort, and brings a peril to shoes and clothing, as walking over the smooth stones of the stream always results in more or less slips and mora or less splashing. That a trail along the bank from Chipman's has never been cut out for visitors is surprising. A day's picnic party with axes and saws would do a great deal toward making a place of wonderful natural beauty accessible to people without the danger and incon venience that now attend the trip. Prosperity Is Present. There is a class a of people who never will admit that prosperity is pres ent anywhere. These people live in a chronic state of "hard tunes," and their usual complaint is that they are always world is going backwards. The present time ia the worst the country ever saw, but belter than it will be later on. Now this kind of whining never aceonv plished any good. It only makes the whiner miserable, and if kept up will convert him into a common scold, who ia always regarded as a nuisance in any community. Of course, no matter how prosperous the times generally are there will always be some person b and some communities who are not prosperous. The people who lived at the town of New Richmond, Wis., recently destroyed by a cyclone, if interviewed would doubtless testify that times were not firosperons. The man who has lost his louse and barn by tire, without insur ance, would doubtless declare that hard times were present, though his neigh bors around were ever bo happy. These remarks are preliminary to a statement that the West is in the main prosperous ; that there has been a great improve ment over the conditions prevailing a few years ago and that the people, as a whole, are looking forward cheerfully to tho future. Roseburg Plaindealer. For a complete stock of merchandise call at Wm. H. Dolman's. PHOM KKASEV. Mrs. D. E. Keasey and daughter Ma pril, returned home last Friday leaving keasey at 7 a. in., and arriving at Port land in the evening of the same day. We fear that the harvest hands that have gone from this place to Mist and other places below, will be badly hin dered iu their efforts to earn an honest McKinley dollar. Kain and harvest are opponents. The dance reported by the Vernoirta correspondent to have been at Keasey, was at Mat Johnson's, on Crooked creek. According to accounts it must have been a very enjoyable season, as some were not only light of foot, but also light of head, so much so that it was necessary to remove them from the scene of enjoyment. Whether the ex hileration was caused by the enchanting music or the beauty of the fair faces tlie reporter did not say. Who can inform us as to whether or not there is a hog law in the state of Oregon, or Columbia county? There are conflicting opinions some say yes, others no. Who will give us correct reference? Half starved foraging hogs are a nuisance and a pest and if there is a law whereby they can be kept from mis chief and annoying people, will some one inform the public where to find the ssme as few farmers have time to pe ruse all the enactments since the begin ning of our state in order to find tlie one in question. ' Some time ago Vernonia's correspond ent itemized "Ernest Shannahan is the possessor of a son." We have been told that said correspondent was looking to ward the profession of law and we pre sume that the above item was formu lated in accordance with the laws of Oregon, wherein the vested rights of the mother are only the preparing oi proper food and clothing and the "training uo of the child in the way he Bhould go." were we to cnronicie a similar occur rence, our sense of justice would lead us to say that Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Black are haouv in the possession of a young son. Some day perhaps many legal wrongs win oe riguwu. Fail to Understand.
