It is reported that an effort has been
made to compromise the rate war be

proposition to the railroad people to put
the fare at $2.50 singlo trip and $4.00

charge $1.50 singlo trip and $2.50 for the

indications are that the rata war will

mineral claims lited on before the county

thought of taking time by the forelock.
There never has been any question of

of that part of the country, offers good

CAPTAIN WAUDS DEATH.
After many weeks of anxious waiting,
a few days since Mrs. Nellio Waud re
ceived a letter from Fred Copies, a
cousin of the late Captain Waud, who
was with him at the time of his death,
giving particulars concerning the sad
affair, lie said that while the captain
seemed perfectly well up to 2 o'clock on
the afternoon of the llith of November,
at that hour he was taken with a terrific
headache and extreme nausea, vomiting
terribly, and finally became unconscious,
dying at 4:46. At that time he was at
his claims near Dawson. The writer
said he had no idea that the captain re
alized he was going to die, so suddenly
did the illness come upon him. The
remain were buried there temporarily,
and as soon as it is deemed advisable
and the weather moderates, the body
will be brought to this city .--The Dalles

That the reason why 1000 will not be
a leap year, although it is divjsable by
system, on which our calendar is based.
the closing year of a century is never a
leap year unless it is exoctly.divisible by
400. The next leap year will be 1904,
the last having been lttirtS. Ever since
1600 the leap years at the end of a cen
tury have been separated by a gap of
eight years, but the year 2000 will in
terrupt the series. .
That there are some people who al
ways prefer to cross a stream before
they get to it; in other words, they boi
row trouble, and make their associates
and themselves miserable by croaking
out their gloomy forebodings of impend
ing evil. Just now there is such a class
in Columbia county. They can see ail
sorts of dire calamity for the future,
but upon what grounds they base their
reasoning is an obscure quantity. Pre
vent evil if possible is a magnificent
way of conducting business ; but borrow
ing trouble is as useless as the former
suggestion ia commendable. Just give
yourselves less concern about matter
which are being ably taken care of.
That the following item appeared in
last Saturday's Oregonian, the same
having some reference to one of our
local infant industries in age. only,
however: "St. Helens is now the cen
ter of quite a wood-chopping industry,
according to Harry Chne, a resident,
who was in Portland recently. William
Slaughter has between ninety and 100
men in the woods, and there is work for
all who offer themselves. Choppers
cannot be obtained in the summer time,
as men prefer to follow other occupa
tions, so firewood must now be piled up
for next winter's use. Men are paid 80
cents to $1.25 per cord, according to the
kind of land the wood grows on. If
level and convenient, the smaller price
is paid, while if hillv and difficult of
access, choppers are obliged to have the
top price in order to make wages. The
late wet weather has interfered with the
work, and it is during these damp spells
the men like to make flying trips to
town. Chopping and splitting is not
considered desirable while the rain is
failing, but the crosscut saws can be run
in nearly all kinds of weather, if the
workmen havs good luck in selecting
locations.''

Some party or parties without the fear
of the Lord in their soul, and with the
powder of the devil in their being, wrote
several Deer Island items to Tub Mist
two or three weeks ago, leaving the im
pression that the regular correspondent
wrote them, and which seemed to cause
no end of criticism. The one mostly
criticised was the item which spoke of
the Christmas tree. No doubt the arti
cle was written for a good purpose, but
the regular correspondent does not claiui
the credit. The next week, however,
the item was properly and duly answered,
although we noticed some misstatements
in the answer, especially as to the sum
of money realized as a result of the con
tribution. We do not know the exact
amount raised, but we do know of sev
eral persons who contributed one dollar
each, and we were at the hall in time to
see two collections token up, the pro
ceeds of which was put to excellent use
by paying for the music. One would
presume oy the article "Not Hunting a
Row," that the complaint included tiie
supper ; but it did not, as we understood
it. The supper and programme to which
we were treated' were all that could be
asked for, and could not be excelled any
where. Of the collection there was over
$5 spent for candy and nuts. We are
not acquainted with the gentleman who
got his candy and went home, but it is
a stubborn fact that some persons who
contributed as much as one dollar got a
sack of candy which was not of a first
class quality. For the regular corres
pondent he can say he is well satisfied
and that he never enjoyed himself bet
ter at any public demonstration; the
dance also being a success. We hope
our citizens will permit the dead to bury
ita dead, and all heartily join hands for
another good time next Christmas.

OFFICIAL TRIBULATIONS.
County Officer, are tha Target of
Curse and Abase,
Some people seem to imagine that as
soon as a man is installed iii a county
office he at once becomes a football to
be kicked and knocked, and a target for
the aim of ail torts of abuse, and the
amount of the whimsical and imaginary
abuses for which those gentlemen are
responsible seems to have no bounds in
the minds of many people. But for
bearance on the part of the public
servant is at all times a forced virtue,
realizing, as he does, that he is a ser
vant, and must meekly submit to all
complaints and thumps which are
hurled at him by many 'know-it-alls."

lashing from somebody else with a
grievance. Our experience has tanght
us that a county official will do more to
accommodate the public than nine-
tenths of the people, not office-holders,
would do to accommodate a neigh
bor. A case in point occurred this week
when a person appeared at the clerk's
office, and desired to make the purchase
of the tax title of certain lots in Clats
kanie, when Clerk Watts, acting in a
kindly spirit, notified the owner that
there was probability of additional costs
being imposed upon him if the back
taxes were not forthwith paid. Imagine
the chagrin of the clerk, when he re
ceived a missive from the we were
going to call him gentleman stating
that the clerk might do well to mind bis
own Dusmess. i.'e letter concluded
with the statement that "I do hope the
time will soon come when honest men
will be elected to office in Columbia
county.
We are not apprised of the name of

person utter such sentiment it is safe to
conclude that the individual has at
tempted repeatedly to beat the county
out of tax money, and because he
has been headed off, he accuses dis
honesty on the part of the officers, hop
ing to shield their own dishonest meth
ods. To this same class of people belongs.
to a very great extent, the existence of
a public debt, through their refusal to
pay their tax, and so soon as it is no
longer possible to escape the law, which
aims to force the payment of just debts,
everything and everybody are accused
of dishonesty except the one who is
directly dishonest. Mark it down, that
in these statements there is more truth
than sentiment.
CREDIT FOR OUR SCHOOL.
A Display of Talent; An Occasion
of Pleasure and Profit.
The rehearsals which have been going
on among the school children for some
time for a public entertainment, came
to a climax last Saturday evening, when
a programme, which for display of
talent ana progress, nas never Deiore
been equaled in our city on such an oc
casion. Each number of the programme
was an entertainment within itself,
which not only merits commendatory
remarks on behalf of the children, but
reflects credit upon the teachers for
tbeir diligence and care in training the
young mind to be abre to render their
several parts so creditably. The enter
tainment was given for the purpose of
raising iuuus wiiu wuicu w purcuase a
flag for the schoolhouse. a commendable
undertaking, and all friends of the
school, pupils, citizens and everybody
will be pleased to Know that in this
particular the effort was handsomely
rewarded. No admission fee to the en
tertainment was charged, but all who
wished bo to do were invited to take a
box or basket of lunch, which was dis
posed of by auction after the pro
gramme had been rendered. From the
sale of the baskets there was $26.65
realized, with expenses not exceeding
$3; hence a sufficient sum of cash was
realized to purchase a large and service
able national emblem, which soon will
be hoisted over our public institution)!
learning. Not only the teachers and
pupils, but the entire population of our
city feel a mutual interest and satisfac
tion over the good returns from the
eflorts of those to whom much credit is
due. To go into detail and speak of
each part of the programme is not nec
essary, it was a success, and was well
received by a very large audience.
While Mr. Cleveland and Mrs. Way feel
grateful to the public for the interest
niannesieu anu miauciai aiu renuereu,
it is but feeble acknowledgement of the
kindly feelings of an interested public
to say that the interest in our school,
taken by the teachers, is universally
commended and duly appreciated.
ABOUT REOISTERINQ.
Naturalisation Papers Host Be Ex
hibited by the Voter..
Although the new law requiring the
registration of voters has been in effect
but about two weeks, enough confusion
has developed to render life a burden to
county clerks, and in a number of cases
voters have declared tney would forego
the privilege of voting before they
would undergo the trouble necessary to
secure the right of franchise. Thedffi-
culty lies in the matter of naturaliza
tion, those acquiring citizenship in that
manner being forced to produce legal
evidence of the fact that tney are natur
alized. Legal evidence in this case
means their original papers or certified
conies of them, and to many of the
old timers this is no easy task. In
many cases men who have voted for
twenty years and more in Clackamas
county will be shut out unless they can
secure copies of their papers issued in
eastern courts long years ago. Another
class who will suiter are they who were
under age at me time their father took
the oath of allegiance. In order to
make their title clear they must present
a copy of their father's papers or take
out papers in their own name. As one
year must elapse from tne time ot mak
ing the declaration of intention before
the final papers can be issued, it looks
as though many votes would be lost
from that cause. Taking it nil around,
tiie naturalized voter has troubles of his
own, and if he succeeds in securing his
rights in most canes it will be at an ex
pense of from $1 to $3 for certified
copies. But there is one thing to be
kept in mind, do cot blame the county
clerk if he refuses to register you. llis
duties are defined very clearly and he
has no option but to adhere strictly
to the letter of the law. He may know
you are entitled to register bnt nave to
refuse you unless you produce the "legal
evidence," not to convince the clerk,
but to satisiy the law. And above all,
keep in mind the democratic slogan of
"vote early and often" and register
early. Oregon City Enterprise.
Having; a Great Kan on Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy.
Manager Martin, of the Pierson drug
store, informs us that he is having a
great run on Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. He sells five bottles of that
medicine to one ot any other kind, and
it gives great satisfaction. In these
days of la grippe there is nothing like
Chamberlain's cough Kemedy to stop
the cough, heal up the sore throat and
lungs and give relief within a very short
time. The sales are growing and all
who try it are pleased with its prompt
action. South Chicago Daily Calumet.
