She was beached and temoorarilv repaired. after which she reached Portland at a late hour that day. The tax unon nronertv in Vernonia to he collected this year aggregates 43 mills. The school district voted 10- mill tax, the city a 6-mill tax, which, added to the general levy of 28 mills, muaes tne toiai levy s miiis. An unusually larae number of school districts in this county have levied a special tax for school purposes this year. Huch action is significant of the fact that more interest is being taken in school matters within the county. Mr. Johnson, of the firm of Johnson & Burgdorffur Bits., of Scappoose, was in town Monday forenoon. Mr. John sou says their mill business at home is prospering, but they are unable to do any shipping on account of the impassi ble condition of the roads.

He takes an active interest in educational affairs throughout the county as well as at home. The pres ence and encouragement of such in structors is a matter of vital importance to our county. The people of Tillamook county arc urging the extension of tho Astoria and Columbia Itiver railroad from Seaside to their county, but President Ham mond has stated that woik will not be commenced until 1902, when it is his purpose to extend the line down the roast and connect with the Corvallisand Eastern at Yaqnina bay. The road will bo built across the state, thus furnish ing a transportation line from the great inland empire to the mouth of the Co lumbia river. Mr. Hammond and ids associates are acquiring timber lands all along the line of the proposed road down the coast. As the torpedo boat destroyer Golds borough was passing this place on a trial dash last Saturday, she played havoc with a part of the lighthouse at Warrior rock. No particular damage was done to tho structure or the inside machinery, but the "power behind the throne" waa jostled and thumped and drubbed and "ducked" in a very effect ual way. Mr. Joseph Hayburn, the light keeper, was crossing the Willam ette slough iu a row boat, on his return home from this city, and when at the point of the island the swell overtook bis boat, and there was all kinds of ex citement there for a few minutes, ter minating with Mr. Hayburn scrambling out of the willows, after a succession of involuntary Bomersanlta up on the beach. Joe says those thirty-mile swells are all right to look at from the shore, but when they hit a row boat tbey forthwith lose all their charm. WARREN ITEMS, Fine weather still prevails.

Everyone is well pleased by his method of teaching and manag ing the children. A new belfry has been added to the schoolhouse, which makes quite an im provement to the building. A large bell has also been put in, which waa very much needed. The creamery at Warren has changed hands. Mr. E. Stevens and Mr. Weath- crly are the managers. Some improve ments will be made and it will then be known as the Sunset creamery. A number of young people assembled at the home of Ed Ale ar land last Fri day evening. A very pleasant evening was spent in games and dancing. Ail enjoyed themselves and declared Mr. The M. E. society ' ia preparing to erect a church, in the spring. That is just what the people need in this place. When the improvements are all com pleted it will add several thousand dol lars to the wealth of this locality. Quite a good deal of improvement has been made on the Gill place, now the projierty of Mr. Noon, of Portland. A fine barn, 106x82 feet has been erected.

Collins & Gray, St. Helena, Ore., February 1, 1900. At a meeting of the taxpayers of this school district (No. 2) held at the school house Wednesday evening at 7:30, a special tax of 6 mills was voted. The valuation of all property within this district is $73,420, and the & mill levy will raise f t7. Pneak thieves recently paid a visit to some of the dwelling houses of Houlton. A back shed at Superintendent Cope land's house was entered and the con tents of two trunkB, clothing principally, was purloined. The same night some unwelcome visitor helped himself to a number of Jura ot fruit at Newton Perry's residence. May be the same individual who has been making fre quent visits to the hen roosts of St. Helens has changed his base of opera tions to our neighboring town. If your chickens disappear by threes there is no mistake in the presumption that it ia the same individual. This proof, how ever, is only circumstantial, but it would be almost as effectual as "the sign of the four." There is no better medicine for the babies than Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy. Its pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cures make it a favorite with mothers and small children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequen ces. It also cures croup and has been used in tens of thousands of cases with out a single failure, so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquifies the tough mucus, making it easier to oxpectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the parox ysms of coughing, thus depriving that disease of all dangerous consequences.

To tub Editor. If observations on a trip to this place at this time of the year are of interest to you, you might say I leit fortiand over tne u. K. A ri. at l:4o p. m. on the 26tb inst.. reached Raparia after a pleasant ride by ran ot lust ten hours ; took passage on tne company's bnake river boat, epoxane, about z a. m. on tne Z7tn, and reached nere at t p. m, the same dav. Though the Snake river boats are not as substantial as the company's lower river vessels, they are well suited to the ffood tables, and very competent and agreeable officers and crews. Captain liurghman. ot the Spokane, will long be remembered by me ana my lamuy as a very kind and courteous officer. During a trip up Snake river one sees no villages, no farms.no indigenous trees, only a few peach orchards and scatter ing ware bouses, nnapproached by roads. Grain is lowered from the high table land to the latter bv means of backets attached to wire cables. Pipes were tried, but tne momentum waa so great as to blister the grain. The valley is only about half a mile wide on an aver age near tne river level, out it opens out to a width of nearly two miles near the level of the table lands, which are about fifteen hundred or two thousand feet high on each side of the river. One must ascend these bills to gain any knowledge of the productiveness of the country. On the npper level is the great wheat region of southeastern Washington, and a most productive country. Off to the north it merges into the great Palouse wheat section ; to the south it is similar to the Grand Ronde valley, iu Oregon. After ascending the tortuous course ot the river for about eighty miles, one comes abruptly through the bills into the valley formed by tue junction ot tne Clearwater and Snake. The Clearwater comes from the east, the Snake from south. Between the two is the romantically-situated city of Lewiston. For many miles east of Lewiston there is a tine wiieat country, which gradually rises until it reaches a heavily timbered section along the base of the Bitter Root range. At Lewiston the Snake is spanned by a tine and costly steel bridge. On the Washington side is the recently-located town of Clarkston, which already has a population of about 1500. Two years ago the entire population within a rad ius oi three miles ot the court house at Lewistou did not exceed 2000. It ia now at least three times as much. Exclusive of one or two flour mills and a mill to saw rafts, drifted from the mountains, there are no manufacturing works in the valley, though unlimited water power is available. 1 believe they haven't even a wool-cleaning establish ment, though a large quantity of wool is shipped. The soH is very productive. The country is very much like Southern California." In -products -it -is oieo very similar. Tbey raise fine peaches, sweet potatoes, melons, grapes, etc., here. Iu tact, the city of Lewiston reminds one most forcibly of a Southern California town in the sage brush region; and did the Indians only speak Spanish, a Santa Barbarian or San Diegoarr of ten years ago would be perfectly at home here. The weather is colder in winter, but I think just as pretty. The O. R. & N. Company has its railroad track nearly completely graded from Riparia to Lew iston. The survey, after extending most of the way on the north side of the Snake, crosses to the south just below Lewiston and follows the west bank through Clarkston and Asotin by the newly discovered and rapidly devel oped mining regions about the mouth of Salmon river, to the main line at Hunt ington. When completed this will give the company a through line along the water level, and open up much new territory, and add very materially to the population and importance of this val ley. Should thia company at the same time, compete with the N. P. through the Clearwater region of Idaho, Lewis ton will grow rapidly. I think it is bound to be a large place. VVe are having sunny days and frosty nights. The young people are having nice skating, but it seems about as rare here as in Portland. The nearest we passed to snow was . at the Cascades, where it waa visible on the mountain tops. W. B. D. Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. 29th, 1900. Program for Teachers' Examination.

The Columbia ec Nehalem Valley Rail way Company is the designation given a the company signature of the people who ure' now earnestly contemplating me construction oi a railroad irom ot. Helens into the Nehalem valley, and by the agreement drawn op and signed bv Mr. E. (J. Dalton, the representative of tne company, who has been negotiating with the citizens of St. Helena for sev eral weeks, it is particularly evident that the citizens must, as a natural conse quence, do their part if there is any de sire to secure this enterprise. The country between this city and Ne halem river has been carefully cruised by Mr. Dalton and his'engineer, and a practi cable route located, and if the requisite inducement is offered and guaranteed there seems to be not the slighest reason to question but what the road will be built according to the agreement signed and delivered and now held by St. Hel ena parties. The demands of the company are ex tremely moderate iu consideration of the vast importance such an enterprise would be to the entire southern and western portion of Columbia county. Following is the agreement and demand of and by the company with the citizens of St. Helens and those along the pro posed route : - "St. Helens, Ore., Jan. 27, 1900. "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I "We, the C. A N. V. R. R. Co., make the following proposition to the citizens and land owners of Columbia county, Oregon, along a route hereinafter lo cated, from St. Helens to Pittsburg, in Columbia county, Oregon, to-wit: -inat one hundred million feet ot merchantable timber tributary to the road, by a right-of-way one hundred feet in width from St Helens to Pitts burg, good terminals and boomage. be donated by said citizens and land own ers, for which consideration we will build, equip and operate a first-class logging and passenger railway of stand ard guage between St. Helens and Pitts burg, deeds to right-of-way to be placed in escrow, and to be tnrred over to said company upon the completion of the road in a line west of the land donated and east of Pittsburg, any timber do nated beyond 1'ittsburg, deeds to be turned over to the company when the railway shall reach Pittsburg, work to be commenced within six months and completed within two and one-half years from date of commencemint of laying the rails ot said road. Columbia & Nehalem Valley Rail road Company, "per Ernest C. Daltok." By this proposition it is readily to be seen that it is imperative that the citi zens go to their own assistance and secure an enterprise and industry of lasting and valuable importance. It may be said now, that such assurance and encour agement has already been given along these lines as to almost insure the carry ing out and fulfillment of the proposi tion. The boomage and terminal facilities at this end of the mate are already guar anteed by our citizens. Messrs. Muckle Bros.; W. H. Dolman and Cole & Quick. who own and control sncli privileges here, nave expressed their intent to see that wharfage facilities are supplied. Messrs. Muckle Bros, guarantee the first-named privilege, which is of great moment in the success of the under taking. The tide lands from Muckle's wharf north to bheldon's wharf have been selected as wharfage site, where it is desired to build a substantial wharf and railroad incline.-the boomage privi leges consisting of the water front from the Muckle mill south to the mouth of Milton creek. This is ample and cer tainly highly satisfactory to the promo ters of the enterprise. Terminal and boomage facilities at Pittsburg or any other point in Nehalem valley, would certainly be quite freely granted in consideration of the vast im portance such an enterprise would be to that section. In fact, no doubt is felt in the minds of those interested but what all the demands made by the railroad company will be readily granted. The demand for 100,000,000 feet of timber along the route is made only as a precautionary move for their protec tion. It is extremely moderate, as that amount ot timber could certainly be cut from three sections of land. Messrs. Muckle Bros., to demonstrate their good faith and interest in the movement. have already agreed to donate one-quarter section of the land, or one-twelfth of the whole amount asked for. This sub sidy is in addition to their liberal dona tion of wharfage and lOumage facilities That this enterprise will meet with all possible good favor and assistance of the people through the section which it will traverse, there ia no doubt. There will very likely be a meeting of the citizens of this city and the surrounding country held at this place in a lew days to pub licly consider the proposition, and or ganize themselves into working com mittees in order to properly and success fully carry out this undertaking. The railroad company pledges itself to make good its contract with the people iust as soon as its demands are met and fully complied with.
