which are to do away with two bud

The "Woodshed" Social.
The aoclat given here laat Thursday
evening to raise fund with which to
build a woodshed at the Congregational
chnrvh was well patronized. An excel
lent literary programme waa rendered,
Iter which a contribution waa taken,
netting almost Lunch was served,
for which 15 centa waa charged, from
this wai received revenue aumcient to
' make tho total receipts $10. This sum
of money i not lulticient, however, to
build the woodshed, and a number of
individuals have agreed to subscribe to
tlie fund, hence the shed is an asaured
fact.
Viewing the) Situation.
Mr. Montgomery, of l'ortland, waa in
fit. Helens on Wednesday making ar
rangement to go on a tour of inspection
of the timber through the lection of
country between Ht. Helena and Oak
Kanch creek, thence on to tho mouth of
that stream. Mr. Montgomery repre
sent some Wisconsin capitalist, who
contemplate the purchase of a largo body
of timber in that section if it is obtain
able, and who also instructed Mr. Mont
gomery to look over the railroad survey
once made through tlio Milton crnek
country from here to Oak Hunch. The
gentleman expect to return here in a
few days w hen he w ill start on the cruise.
To Astoria for Dime.
It ia generally believed along the
front that the rate war to Astoria will
continue until passenger are carried
for nothing or else 10 centa. There is
no doubt but what the rate will go down
to dime and whon that point is
reached the fight will cease. The North
ern l'aciflc Railroad ia said to lie becom
ing tired of the war, a it ia injuring its
business. People dosiring to go to
Seattle take the boat to Kalama for
25 cents, instead of purchasing tickets
in Portland and thereby save about
Nobody is going to Astoria on the boats
except on business. On Saturday
nights, however, the llassalo carries a
large crowd.
Cannot Consolidate.
The fact have developed that it ia Im
possible under the laws of the state for
the school districts of fit. Helen and
lloulton to beconaolldated, if every per
son residing within tbe district was will
ing for muh action to be taken in the
premise. Superintendent Copcland, in
order to clearlv establish in his mind the
manner In which to proceed, wrote to
f-ltate Superintendent Ackerman, and on
last Monday received the following
'h'e district boundary board under
the law haa no authority to make any
change in school districts, liecaiiNO the
law 3oe not provide for petitioning.
That part of the law which did pro
vide for petitioning waa stricken out.
Thi waa caused by only part of tbe
bill passing, and you will notice under
the clause 'when petitioned a herein
after spocllled,' and the 'hereinafter
pecifled' ia within the part concerning
school district, which did not pass.
Since thcro is no regular way of peti
tioning, it i Immaterial who has the
right to petition."
Hence it will be readily ecen that no
change can be mnde in the boundary of
the district until tho legislature soes Ot
to empower tho district boundary board
to proceed In aome manner, which now
it has not the authority to do.
New O. 11. & N. Boat.
The 0. U. A N. Company ha decided
to build another largo sternwheel
steamer for service on the lower Co
lumbia between l'ortland and Astoria,
the contract being let last Monday and
work started tho next day. Tho ma

nd will embody all of tho latest im
provement, with s view to securing the
greatest possible power and apeed at the
smallest cost. Tlio dimension of the
new steamer aro: Length, 185 feet;
beam, 84 feet; depth of hold. 6 feet.
The engines will be 24 Inches In diauio
ter of cylinder by 6 Inches stroke, and
will develop 1HO0 horsepower. This
power, with the finely modeled null,
will give the new boat great speed, and
when necessary sho can bo usod as a
.uAa. i?atu wan nut eoine and BO

The towboat service on both river ami

Barge Washington liaised.
Tim baree. Washington, owned by
tho Hale A Kern Company, which was
sunk while on her way down the river
with a cargo of rock for the Gray'
harbor letty, by running on a rock near
Uoble, has at last beou brought to the
surface, and wag beached near the scone
of the disaster. Tho accident occurred
early lost spring, and aa the barge was
insured tor szo.uw, me unuurwritsn,
determined to recover her. A great
deal of time and labor has been ex
pended on the job, notwithstanding
that It was necessary to suspend opera
tions during the high water season,
which was much longer than usual.
Even after the cargo of rock waa re
moved, the barge, although in about
100 feet of water, refused to leave tbe
hntiam. mml after the sand which had
collected on her had boen removed as
far as practicable, it was necessary to
bring barges and jackaorewa into
use to bring her to th o surface. Borne

account of her music being misplaced,
thereby disappointing the audience.
Mr. Gus. Oteby, rendered a medley,
which wa well received. The gentlo
man has a (rood voice, but the severe
cold from which he is suffering, made it
almost impossible for the gentleman to
finish his selection. Unfortunately, Mr.
Jack Chambers also had a severe cold
and had to be excused. Mr. Schmitke
sang a solo, but gave the audience to
understand that it was a hard matter to
make a singer out of a potato digger,
but the good netured audience excused
him and he finished his selection to the
satisfaction of his hearers. Mis Lena
West recited a most beautiful piece,
which called forth a big round of ap
plause. The audience received just
what it expected in the work of Miss
Duncan, who is a complete master of
anything she undertakes. Her recita
tion was simply immense and the audi
ence was not slow to show their appre
ciation. Tho young lady appears to a
better advantage in a comic recitation
than iu one like sho appeared in her last
effort. If Miss Duncan continues to
improve in tho future as sho has done m
the past, ahe will eniov the distinction
of being one of our best speakers. Too
much praise cannot be given Mrs. Gus
OBtby. Her instrumental solo was
something grand. While playing, Mrs.
Ostby hold her audience spellbound and
when she had finished it was a full min
ute before her hearers realized it. The
applause which she received waa deaf
ening, but no amount of applauding
could make the lady respond.
