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

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. Citi
zens should be compelled to burn all
refuse, or a dumping around should tie
chosen in some less prominent place.
wnere suen onjecuoiiiuiie matter could
ho buried from the gaze of nasscrs bv.
Such matter dumped on the beach is
not only objectionable to the siuht. but
it endangers health, and should be pro
hibited. WolKhtiiK the Mall.
Mail weiuhlne beuan a few dav airo

nl we hrhinir is not flint mirsued reirn-
larly every four years, when weluhers
are employed on the trains to compute

of weighing, not pursued for over twenty
years, the classifications of mail are
weighed separately. 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

clerks are to weigh, according to classifi
cation, only the mail that is placed in

ug is a source of considerable trouble
to postal and railway mail employee.
It is for the purpose of determining the
amount of mail carried.

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

It is said by person who bociu to be
in a position to know, that G. A. Sun

return from North Carolinia to Colum

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

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.
