At a meeting of the taxpayers of this
school district (No. 2) held at the school
house Wednesday evening at 7:30, a

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.

LETTER FROM IDAHO.
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.

RAILROAD PROPOSITION. '
Company Makes Known What They
Expect From the 'People.
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.
