That schedule has been superseded by

I Buffered with diarrhea for a long
time and thought I was past being cured.
I had spent much time and money and
suffered so much misery that I had al
most doeided to give up all hopes of re
covery and await the result, but notic
ing the advertisement of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera ami Diarrhoja Remedy
and also some testimonials stating how
some wonderful cures had beeu wrought
by this remedy, I decided to try it.
After taking a lew doses I was entirely
well of that trouble, and I wish to say

Next Sunday morning, September 10,
the full ilshing season will open, but
what price will be paid has not yet boen
definitely decided upon. It is pretty
safe to say that not less than 6 cent a
pound will be paid. Preparations for
catching and canning fall salmon are
being uiado on a scale heretofore un

The sale of a large tract of tlmler
land on Upper Rock creek, in the Ne

that an Eastern company has purchased
almost an entire township at an average

There is constant Inquiry for timber
lands, and it certainly is mutter for deep
rogret that people will sacrifice their
valuable possessions for prices now
being offored. Owners of timber lands
Bhonld form a combination and demand
a higher figure for their property. The
lands are well worth four times the

Mr, Dan Rice, the supervisor of the
road district in which is located the city
of Clotskanlo district No. 10 is very
muon in iavor oi the county court levy
ing a 10-iiiill tax for road purpose.
That, undoubtedly. Is unreasonable, un
der present conditions. Ouch ia not an
unnecessary amount, however, in order
to have good roads, but a tax one-half
larger than could roasonably be expected
to tie levied. It would be possible, per
haps, but not very probable, under the
prevailing condition to have inch a tax
Imposed, but If the people of a road dis
trict were permitted by law to conduct
the affairs of the district in a manner
similar to that of a school district, when
the property within the district only,
was subject to a high or low tax for im-
firovenients within that territory only,
t then would become wholly within the
province of the taxpayers therein to
make the rate high or low, according to
requirements. Even then, it is not prob
able that advantage would be correctly
taken of the alternative, and while good
roads might prevail in one district those
in an adjoining one might remain in an
impassable condition. Under Mr. Rice's
plan it would be a question of but a
very short time until good roads would
be the rule rather than the exception,
hut the burden of taxation would be too
great. Rest progress justly and reason
ably In such undertakings even though
the process is slow.
The postofflce department ha adopted
a new form of domestic money ordor,
which Postmaster Dolman expect to in
troduce to the patrons of the office here
in a few days, and which will be intro
duced gradually throughout the country
at the various postoiflue as supplies of
the old form become exhausted. The
new form is comewhat smaller than the
order now In use. Its dimension are
almut those of the ordinary hank
draft. It has two adjuncts the advice,
or notification to be sent by the issuing
to the paying postmaster, is a reproduc
tion of the order through the use of car
boiiixed paper, the manifold process,
and a receipt for the amount, to be fur
nished by tno issuing postmaster to the
remitter. On the back of the order a
separate space has been provided for the
stamp of bank through which in may
be passed for collection. That the new
order may win it way to public favor
by it simplicity, clearness and adapta
bility, great care has been taken to give
it this character by arrangement of its
part, by avoiding lurplusage in the
text or wording, and by using plain type
and excluding whatever would be merely
ornate design.
A test of the three ten-inch rifle at
Fort Stevens on Friday of last week
wa perfect success. The first two
shot were for distance and the projec
tile struck the water at a distance of
five and one-half miles. The time the
projectile were in the air was 10.6 sec
onds. The third shot wa at an old
buncb of piling near the Jetty, almut
three and one-half miles away. This
shot was directed by Lieutenan t Patter
son, and was very exact, as it hit the
mark and tore the piling to pieces. The
time that the projectile wa in the air
wa twelve and three-fourth seconds.
The discharge did not make the antici
pated noie, as the report wa not a
loud a from an old smooth bore cannon.
The noise made by the passage of the
projectile through the air was very pe
culiar. It sounded like a heavy wagon
crossing- a brldire at some distance awuv.
The mortar battery and the riHed guns
at Fort Columbia will be tested in a low
day.
The unseasonable rain have played
hob with the shingle and lumber indus
try of the lower part of the county.
Prominent persons of Clatskanie state
that it is almost impossible to get the
product of the mills near that city to
market on account of the roads, made
so by unexpected, unseasonable rains.
There is good demand for shingles and
celar lumber, and as a great amount of
each of those commodities is manufac
tured near there, and it being impossi
ble to market them it is feared that bad
results will follow, in the way of causing
a shortage of money in that vicinity,
although demand for labor remains very
strong and good wage are yet being
paid in all the mills and camps.
A live grasshopper will eat a dead
grasshopper. A Missouri farmer mixed

hey died. Four hundred ate those
twenty and they died. Eight thousand
ate those four hundred, aud they died.
A hundred and sixty thousand ate those
eight thonsand, and the farmer was
troubled no more. In it flight from
the Mississippi valley, the name of
the statistician of this story has become
separated from hi figures, but the fact
that the incident occurred in Missouri is
regarded as evidence of its possibility.
The work of changing the road dis
trict in the county, made one of the
duties of the county court by the
last legislature, will have to be begun
by that body axin. Under the new
law a road district cannot lie in two
poling precincts. More than one road
district, however, may be within a vot
ing precinct. At the next election all
road supervisor will be chosen by the
voter within the respective road dis
trict, instead of being appointed by the
county court.
The smoky weather which each year
heretofore ha visited us during August,
had little opportunity this season to get
in its work. It ha been so wet no fires
could got a start in the mountains or
elsewhere and the damp atmosphere
has kopt the air perfectly clear. Times
when it was not raining or the sky
heavily clouded, the beautiful snow
capped peaks have been visible through
out tue entire summer.

The fact that Larson alleges that Lar-

Roth in Rainier and Clatskanie are'
being constructed a number of neat,
substantial residence. Three or four
residences are being built in Rainier,
noticeable from the passing trains, while
perhaps others not so prominent to view
are going up. Mr. V. U. Conyers, of
Clatskanie, ha the material on the
f round and ha commenced work on a
arge, neat residence at his Alderbrook
farm. The building will be 32x34 feet,
two Btories high, and when completed
will be another beautiful home added to
the large number of such places already
at Clatskanie. However, that is only
one of many substantial structures in
course of erection in that town. In fact
the lower portion of the county is de
veloping and building up very rapidly,
no more so, however, than the good
qualities warrant.
A chanm in the management of one
of the important business concerns of
this place occurred last Monuay morning
when Mr. John Dart took charge of the
meat market owned and for several
year conducted by Mr. J. H. Sheldon.
The change is merely in the manage
ment; not in tue ownersmp. Mr. wart
has leased the business for one year,
and the experience the young gentle
man possesses in the line of business
he seeks to operate srunrauteea a boun
teous supply of good fresh and salt
meats on nana at an uuiuo, which, ui
course, will be necessary to maintain
the reputation of the establishment
under its former manager, mr. eneiuon
will devote hi time to handling fish, in
which vocation he finds satisfactory
compensation. We predict abundant
success for both the boys. For Mr. Dart
we bespeak a continuance oi the patron
age of the people.
We made an inspection one day last
week of some oi the improvements that
are being made about the premises of
the law and abstract firm of Cole &

Wsftd the around and erected a very
neat and commodious suite of offices
adjoining the office of the firm. The
nllfces are now completed and furnished
and Mr. Hall will hereafter attend to
the want of his numerous clients at
hi own quarter. In the building so
long occupied by Messrs. Cole & Quick
we found many changes and improve
ments. Painter Saxon has been very
much in evidence there for several days
and the neat and artistio work per
formed Is evidence of his superior skill.
It is expected to some time in the
near future, enlarge the abstract busi
ness by increasing the facilities, when
more room will be needed and a part of
the new building called into use. The
offices in the old building, as well as
those in the new one, are very neat and
commodious.

The conductor was compelled to stop his
