Thin, indued, is creditable showing and jultejMgiilflcant in.ilsolf. The case of Hamuol A. Crosby, of lloulton. administrator of the estate of Kdlaon Crosby, deceased, against the .Northern raciuc Hallway company, to recover 5(XHI dnmngea for the death of Kdlaon Crosby, went to trial in the United HtHtes court, in Portland Mon day, U-fure Judge Bellinger and a jurv. Kdiaoii Crosby, an elderly man, while on bis way homo from til". Helena, at s crossing of the Northern 1'ncilie railway, near lloulton, was run over by a train and killed attotit a year' ago. U was al leged that the accident waa due to the negligence of the railway oMiciuls, and hence suit was brought to recover tiamnges. When counsel for the com- Slainant rented their rase, counsel for the ufendant asked for a nonsuit, and after some argument, Judge ltallinger decided that the prosecution had not made out a case, and directed the jury to return a verdict In favor of the defendants, which wna done. Tho trial of a postmaster are many, Indeed. At one. of tho postolllccs not far from 8t. Helena, a "knowing" man tore Into the ofllce, red-eyed, and with murder in his heart, glaring at the post master in such a manner aa to mnke him think his time had come. The IMU, .iiiiih hiiiv irate patron, gasping for breath "I sent $73 to my brother several ago. Whero is it? He didn't f said : rthwr avorl weeks I I weeks ...V" , f. . : iT, ' " .Y. i, vtneroisiir u uiub i win.

The "knowing" patron sneaked out and hasn't been buck since. Of course the postmaster was to hlaino. However, about to the same extent ns ho is in many cases of imaginary neglect of du ties, after an investigation has been made . On sovoral occasions Tin .Mist has mentioned the fact that land redemp tion! were proving a source of much revenue to me county. '". the receipts at the county clerk's office from that source amounted to:M0.50, nd prior to that, during the present month there had lajen collected $81.00, which made a total for the month up to the 18th, of HliO.oO. Rome time ago tho county clerk had a form of a letter printed, which at odd times he mails one to parties who are indebted to the county on back taxes, and none so far sent outhavo failed to bring good results. Several thousand dollars is vet due the county from this source, and while the rate at which collection! are made is indeed satisfactory, yet if tho clerks had opportunity to dovote more time to that particular feature, more satisfactory re sults would-le realized. There is little doubt but what many thousand dollars could be collected from that source within the next low months if it were possible for one man to devote his en tire time to the matter. However, tho rate at which revenuo is being received from that source is very gratifying. While wo are congratulating ourselves npon tho good fortuno of getting the county out of debt, or nearly so, at least, wo must not lose sight of tho fact that a reaction is certain to follow. Tho idea uppermost In the minds of those of tho county's llnancea rest has been to frco the county iroin tuo uuiui-u umuut, and to that end their energies have been -i: .....I it. aiii.e.Ha whinh hnn at tended their eflort is commendable in the extreme, but a douced expense ao- . i. tn nllA nn nnfore manv more summers.

A good time is antici pated. Everybody Invited. Frank Jaresh, of Port Townsend, Wash., hied himself into Rainier last Monday and proceeded to conduct him self in such a manner as to convince the good people of that town that he was non compos mentis. He was given an examination before Judge Doan, who committed him to the asylum. Ho was taken to that institution on Tuesday by Constable Ucorge Lane and Mr. A. L. Clark, of Rainier. M. Charles Mescrve was in this city last fiaturday en route to Vancouver, Wanh., whither he went to register hit protest against tlio railroad company acquiring ownership to a quarter section of land on which he has made improve ments anl resided for some time. Many persons, known as squatters, set tled upon unsurveyed land in theUray'c river, (Wash.) section, and the North ern Pacific Railroad company seeks to deprive them of their privileges. A number of the settlers appeared before the land otlice ollicials, and no doubt their rights, will be defended and sus tained. With fresh eggs selling at 25 to 30 cents a dozen in the St. Helens market, it looks as if "the woman with the hen" will supersede "the man with the hoe."

Of the filings made, only a portion of the land was open, the rest being oc cupied by individual claimants. The filing of the railroad, company on the land will, it is said, in no manner affect the present owners other than prob ably force them to sell at a referee's price. Iu other words, the act of filing n.na not done because of any flaw in the present owners' title, but simply to get the railroad land all in a body. Whether litigation will follow ia not known, but the belief is expressed that a settlement will be had without resort to the courts. WAHHEN AND SOAPPOOBE. Floyd Puzoy, Gus Ostby were week.
