Those who have had occasion to take notice, certainly have regretted that place, which alxjve all others, should be ac in in a neat condition. Is miu u a dumping ground for most o( the trasli accumulating about the city, as is the beach along our city front. It must mar the beauty of the oitv in the eves of tourists and strangers, who of neces sity, must gnzo on all such debris as they pass on steamers, liesidcs this; wo who are comnellcd to see it everv dav are none the less disgusted at the pros pect, xvow, viiin can lie avoided, and whut Is uiore. should be shinned.

The manner nl we hrhinir is not flint mirsued reirn- larly every four years, when weluhers are employed on the trains to compute he total hulk.

In accordance with I'osiniaster ixilmau's instructions he as to see that tho different classifica tions of mail put upon the trains here are weighed separately during the weighimc period.

It seems to us that St. Helens people could just as well as not gut the daily paer from Portland an hour or two earlier each day if the papers were sent by rail Instead of by boat, For some time past the boat has been late every day. often, very late, and it is an incon venience which could be and should be remedied. If the pamrs were permitted to come by rail they would always ar rive by V .'M. In case the bust were always on time tlio difference would be but a very few minutes. It i nut an uncommon thing, at all, to wait nntil after the noon meal before the daily paer arrives. A little action on the part of those interested would have the irect or remedying the present mcon euient system.' Another Columbia County Gralt. Tho fruit has been gathered from a two-yoar-old graft, grown by Mr. R Cox, of this place, which a great many people inspected during circuit court week, and on which grew and matured thirty-live pears, weighing twenty-four pounds. Twenty of the largest 'pears were (elected anil weighed separate, the total weight being ten pounds. They measured Irom ilxll)! inches lor the irgest. and lu'dXlO'i, inches tor the smallest, the other twelve pears being nearest the former than the latter figures in size. Thev wero of the Idaho variety. The limbs on which tho fruit grew are a triflu less than seven feet in length all told. respnt Conditions Suit Him Well. Mr. A. II. Matthews, of Pittsburg, was in town Monday afternoon, en route to Rainier to visit his daughter, Mrs. l.ee. Mr. Matthews says that there is alto gether too much prosperity in tho coun try to justify one in putting in tneir time harping a bout Bryan and free sil- er. The single gold standard is a very good thing, in- Mr. Matthews' opinion. Ho is also in favor ot the united Mates holding the Philippine islands. He left ho price of a year's subscription to Tub Mist, and ordered the paper sent to his address. Kleot lload Supervisors. Under tho new road law the county courts will at their January terms re- rraiure the road districts of tlio county so that they will conform with the vot ing districts, ami every two years inere after make such changes as shall be deemed necessary. In Juno there shall be elected supervisors lor each district, who shall hold hi ofllco for two years. If he refuse to accept the office after hoinff elected, hu all nil lie lined $25. Tho county court shall till nil vacancies. Hanrord to lteiuin. It is said by person who bociu to be in a position to know, that G. A. Sun ford, once editor of the News, is soon to return from North Carolinia to Colum bia countv and again engage in the news paper business at Clntskanio. May lie Sanford has a longing to repay some of his political obligations (7). Things may be hotter than the hinges of hades here aliout next campaign season. And may bo, too, Hunford comes to enjoy the pros perity of this section, which he fought so industriously to lotord. Creameries Doing Well. . The dairymen throughout tho sur rounding country are now thoroughly realizing tho value of the creamery in their neighborhood. They find that to receive 20 cents or 22!u' cents a pound for their butter fat is much more profit able than to make the butter and dis pose of it themselves. Creameries are doing a much better business than for merly and tho farmer Is correspondingly prosperous as a result of the presence of tho creamery. Treated tor Deafness. Mr W. P. Case, of Pittsburg, came down from Portland Friday evening. Mr. Cuso had spunt the week In the city being treated at the Copeland Institute for relief from his deafness. He had an operation performed on his nose, sup posedly to remove the prime causo of Ills deiifncsH. Ho continued on to Pitts burg Saturday. MIHFOItl'UNB AT PIT'l'SUUItO. The Mill Dam Swept A war--A if e Im paired It Htrongth. lhodiun at the mouth of the Eos Fork of the Nehalem river, which sup plied tho power by which tho Pittsburg lumber and irrist mill bus 1 pollen ior many years, wus carried away last Sunday night, and as a consequence win nun win nit uniuiio to operate until wio immense structure is replaced. II may he some time until this is done but undoubtedly Mr. Case will be able to so arrange matter that thfl work of rebuilding the dam can soon be under taken. The entire structure, down to the bedrock of the river, I gono, how ever, the abutments remain intact. Tho immense timbers broke away at either end. i uis circumstance Is a very severe mow to nir. case, who s secretary and manager of the P ttsbnra Mill Ciimmnv. but he seems determined to surmount the difficulty, and after the debris is cleared away bo will rebuild the dam. Although Mr. Caso has labored under perplexing difficulties (or tho past five renrn, hu is nun uiiuaiiniea anu will face hi misfortune manfully and bravely. Mr. Case is one of very few who would have fuced the diBcouruifina hard ships of recent years, but with an abid ing faith In the future of that section and tho positive assurance of better business conditions, he has been in spired with a determination to overcome difllculties, and he will undoubtedly be rewarded for his lubor and trouble. Mr. Case is a man who bus never been known to refuse a neighbor a favor often discommoding himself to aceoui' modulo his friends, lfo has proven himself honest in big dealings and faith ful to a (ault, almost, to those who in any manner reposed confidence or relt ance in him. The presence o( that establishment in the particular part o( Nchulem valley where it is located, has been a great (actor in developing and building up mai region. The very best ouulitv of lumber has always been manufac tured at that establishment, and now, indeed, were its saws to be (orever silenced, a due appreciation of the true worth of the plant would be keenly real ized. The people thereabout, most of whom have some time or other been accommodated by Mr, Case, can cer tainly do no less than step to the front and offer their services to their friend and neighbor in his time of trial, even though it would lie necessary to wait some time for pay for their services. Undoubtledy Air. Case would court eously refuse an offer of charity, because his determined disposition to succeed will enable him to sometime pay all ob ligations, either by way of pecuniary assistance or services rendered. The gristmill bus also been of great value to that portion of the valley, es pecially so dining the last, few years, when modern machinery for manufac turing a superior grade of Hour, was in stalled. Altogether the plant is a very valuable one, and the people should step gallantly to tho front and render Mr. Caso all the assistance within their power to repair the damage and regain the prestige which the valley has en joyed by reason of the mill being there. CIjATSKAMK items. L. B. Stuart was in town from hi claim near Vernonia this wevk. Clntttkanie Rent a delegation to Mr, Ford' entertainment at Kyser Saturday evening. A wood scow lat week took out a big load of . cord w ood a hundred cord more or less, K. IIiik'k'H was away the latter part of the week proving up on Ilia claim in Nehalem vnlley. Oliver Iturris, of the Nehalem valley, wan in town Monday and Tuesday look ing after lumber interest. Mr. Chandler, Sr., exnaot to return to rim Franciuro this week after a pleas ant Rummer spent in this vicinity. Peter Herdklotz, Sr., is a sufferer from fiitnih'Mis of one Hide of his face, causing iiiu both inconvenience and mitlering. Mr. Lyndall was over from VoBper with a load of grain the last of the week to avail himself of the excellent market here. Smith St Thomas and Burris have quite a large quantity of cedur lumber piled along the river bank awuiting shipment. J. Maynard, one of the successful ranchers of the Nehalem valloy, near Fislihawk, was over this week to dis obo of farm product. W. C. Buck has been fortunate in se curing a very sightly place for his new residence. It makes a good showing as he gets the ground cleared oil' around it. Wood Flippin and family left us this week for a winter residonca in Portland. They have had charge of tho boarding house at Tictienur'a mill and logging camp. The postmaster has the privilege of serving the people very long hours each day since we got additional night inaihi. He is good until rod and no doubt enjoys thin distinction. Clutskanie scorned a harvest for com mercial men last week, judging from the number that were here. It looked as though they traveled in droves like wild geese for mutual protection. R. Sonneland is among u again and seems to believe that we all ought to carry life insurance and that the I'eiin Mutual is the company to get in. We have no quarrel with him and wish him SUCCl'BB. W. L. Chandler got bis teanis'in order Monday ami went up the Clatakanie to work on a new logging contract. Will is not afraid of mud and does not be lieve in having his tenm idle through tho winter if it can possibly be avoided. The city iB quite dark these rainy nights, but there is tulk of street light ing after awhile, bo if we are patient and don't happen to break a leg running against any of these lumber piles, "there'll come a time" when we can get around better at night. Eov. Waltz, of Portland, officiated at the quarterly meeting services last Sabbath, preaching at Qnlncy in the morning and here in the evening. He is an earnest, forcible spouker, calcu lated to Impress an audience that his prenching is an expression of hi earn est and honcBt conviction. If our people did not know otherwise that the Finn people were building a church near town, the occasional pres ence of a solicitor with a subscription paper would be a suitablo reminder. They announce themselves as well pleased with the financial help the citi zens hero have given them. Their church is well under way. A. B. Little bus boon sighting around looking for coiucis and lnudniarks. Ono troublw in this section is that that we have too many comorg already. If we had one or two less, n great deal of con troversy might havo been avoided and the town greatly benefitted. Those wore not the corners mat surveyor lit.- tie was looking for, however.
