Miss Willie Caples, who baa been vihiting her parent at Columbia City lor the t six weeks, left Monday fur Wawatosa, Wisconsin, where she assist her brother, Dr. B. M. Caples, in a sanitarium. This office tnrned out the posters a tew days ago announcing a ball to be given at hcappoose on October l:Uh, under the auspices of Scappoea assem bly of Artisans. Undoubtedly a most enjoyable time will be had. Mine Nora Dillard, who visited her brother and his family at this place (or six months past, started on Iter return to Virginia last Monday. During her stay iu this city Mies Dillard made many warm friends who regret liur do nurture. Watiiiltigtoii county farmer are very much elated over the fact that the gov tirnmernt ha recently purrhaaed 760 tons of timothy hay In that county, tutting several thousand dollar in the lands of the producers. Other large purchase of hay are ex pecid. The steamer Joseph Kellogg hung up on a sunken pile in the Cowlitx river lust Monday morning on her regular trip out to Portland. Hhe soon ilTled with water and sauk, bat the work of bulk licadiug waa soon commenced and th boat waa able to proceed to Portland that night. oatmaster Dolman on Tuesday re ceived the tlrat book of new-style money order, of which we gave a full descrip tion week or two since. The olllce has been without money order blanks for some time, greatly to the inconven ience of the public, but in future all demands will be supplied. Mr. and Mr. N. A. PerrV, of Houlton, and Mrs. J. li. Watts, of Srappoose, re turned last Friday morning frjm a week's visit in the Grande Ronde valley, in Eastern Oregon. Newton is very much impressed with the appearance of lUranue ana union ana says mat oust ties in that vicinity ia very brisk. A town, unlike a city, i no place to foster jealousy and nourish contentions. All should learn to know that whatever will conduce to the welfare of a town mi not injure her citixena. The dispo sition made manifest by her citixen point to her downfall or rise. Harmony among the people of a community i as necessary to their success as is air to sustain. Nearly twenty members of the Trinity church section of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Episcopal church of Portland, came down to Ht. Helens Wednesday morning to visit the members of the church of this city and assist in making preparations for the annual baxaar to be given later in the season. The ladie of the church Rave the visitors luncheon in Maaonio hall, after which the Port land contingent returned to Portland on the Hassalo. A passenger rate war la fairly on and the transportation companies are throw ing out inducements to the public which make it cheaper to travol than remain at home. The steamboat seem to tie after the scalps of the railroad people, putting the tare from Portland to Astoria down to 50 cents, which rate was met by the rsilroad. The steamer Canby, on the Rainier-Portland run, reduced the fare to 26 centa for the round trip, while the Iralda, on the same run, reduced the fare to 46 cents one way. Competition is . the life of trade, and the public accepts the new condition with no misgiving, to be ure. The Methodist Episcopal conference which was in session at Halem for about one week, completed its labor last Monday. The appointment of minis ter to mi local oharge were made as follow: At Ht. Helena, Kev. Donald moijiuoniin ; at uiatskaiile, Kev. K. V Smith, (returned) 1 at Rainier. Rav. A 0. Fairehlld. Rev. G. G. Haley was vuv mj vrarreuton Mr Il.uM ir.. .,.,.. .. ir..n took passage on the Gatxert Tuesday moruing for Astoria, where ha iolned the crew of the steamer Jessie, and sailed on Wednosday for the tishing banks In the northern waters. The Jessie la in command of Capt. A. A. Henderson, and Mr. Henshaw ships with an eaay berth, that of loir-keener. How lung the voyage will last is not xnown, nut at an evsnts the vessel, with (lupt. Henderson a master and Mr. Munsiiaw a minute noter, i in competent nanus. Considerable excitement prevailed for a lew momenta laat Sunday evenlngat the steamer lauding at this place, when a passenger for the Bliaver was precipitated to the water, caused by the foot plank slipping from the wharf. The steatner llwaco was lying next to th wharf and it was necessary lor the Beaver's pan senuers to nas over her nnner deck, The gentleman was attempting to de scend the plank, with a heavy grip in his hand, when the plank slipped, and all took an involuntary bath. Only a couple of minute time was consumed in rescuing ins uniortunst passenger, deed fortunate that he was not killed. A case in the lustice court here on Tuesday was the cause of considerable excitement among the law fraternity. The Htate of Oregon waa plaintiff and Ed Ulack, of Goble, was the defendant, charged with assault and battery upon tne person oi utirisiian a. feiuer. u A. Hall appeared for the state and G, W. Cole for the private prosecutor. while Dillard & Day appeared for the defendant. A jury trial waa hail, which ultimately result! in the discharge of tne uuienuam. ini jury reuiauieu out all night and finally agreed to disagree, four being for acquittaland two for con viction. Upon motion of the deputy prosecuting attorney uie case waa uis- uussca. Senator McBride cam in from the Dolman camD at Bunker bill laat Friz day and on haturday continued to Port land, where he went to attend to Im portant business matters. The senator stated that be expected to go to Wash ington on important uueiness, wnicn would necessitate an absence from this state of three weeks, when be would return to tins city to remain until about the 26th of Novemlier. Senator Mc liride ia much improved in health and unless some unforsnen circumstance takes place to impair his vitality, he will be able to enter upon the discharge of his olllcial duties in December with f raster seal and energy than ever be ore, notwithstanding the arduous tasks he lias conquered heretofore. A cord of string beans sound rather exaggerative, but we feet justified in saying there was almost a cord in the lot of beans sent to this office laat Sat urday by Mrs. Goea, who resides on the lilakesley place, near Houlton. Not from their number, particularly, but from their lixe. we are prompted to sneak. They were of the ''Caseknife" variety, many ol them being an men wide and twelve inches long. They were brittle and juicy and added an im portant feature to the Sunday dinner of "ye editor' ana lamuy. Mr. jess Hendricks, of Perls, also brought to this olllce a few days ago sample of a very large and delicious variety ol string beans, something new in this vicinity, which proves that any aud all varieties of vegetation grow and mature in the most perfect condition in tin county. Mis Marguerite Longacre, of Port land, at the fall examination only recently held of the Chicago musi cal college, waa the successful competi tor among 318 contestants, for the free scholarship offered by that institution for vocal anility and talent. Miss Long acre is a pupil of the college and poses see an excellent voice, from the cultiva tion of which her friends expect much in the future. The competition In which she successfully engaged waa confined to her fellow students, who are from an parts of the country, and was estab lished by the college lor Uie purpose ot encouragiug the development of musi cal talent among them. In addition to vocal music, Mia Longacre is taxing the full course in elocution, physical culture and instrumental music pro vided by the college. Hiss Longacre la well known in this county, having taught school at different place here in the past. nnnrolltalile time to Mr. and Mrs. John Gifmore, who reside near this city, when fire consumed their dwelling house, and it ws by considerable effort that the sheds ana outnounes were saved. The origin ot Uie fire is un known, further than it started in th kitchen, and it waa but a few minutes until the whole building was enveloped In flame. Mr. Gilmore was asleep in the upper story of the house, and it was with some difficulty that he escaped uninjured on account of the feeble con dition of hie health. The entire con tents ol tne nouse wore aesiruyeu. consisting of many valuable articles of furniture, doming, oooas, uicji;, some cash and many vaiuauie papers, among them being some promissory nntn St lirT sVAl !

The Statesman err in us mnwu farmers of Columbia county, at least, are endeavoring to supply the demand for cattle, but, of course, cannot do it. One reason to be aseigned for thistm poseibility is the fact that for a period of tlireo or four years recently, there was no demand for beef cattle and farm- i ,4;uwMirfiAil nt low rjrices. The herds were allowed to diminish in number until few, If any, oeei came were to be found in thS county. For a vear or two, demand ho been better and prices very high, but a scarcity of trood beef animals obtain. The fact of the matter is, Columbia county is un able to supply the demand for many commodities, but what of them are to bo had, command a high figure, spot cash and gold standard dollars. More attention ia being given by our takers to stockraislng and in future will be hotter able to meet the demand, WARREN AND BOAPPOOBE. Will Pattullo, of Portland, spent Sun day at Warren.

Those who happened to be in the vi cinity of the store at Scappoose a week ago Monday evening, were treated to a first-class rag chawing contest between three vounir ladies and Jack Chambers. Jack got his pedigree read In strictly up-to-date style, mercy these young ladies had none. They ripped Jack op one side and down the other, much to the amusement of the bystanders. Chambers tried to get a word in edge ways, but be might as well nave tried to fly. All be could do was to say a few cuss words under his breath and take his medicine. When the young ladies had finished with him be was a total wreck. We understand from good authority that Jack has worried so much over the roasting be received that it caused two of Job's comforters to ap pear on each side of bis nose about the site of an egg, which has made it im possible for him to attend to hi work. On Wednesday, October 4th, the Pickering Concert Company, which, is composed of some of Portland's best known musician, will give a grand con cert at Watts A Price' hall, at Scap poose.
