See orniriammn in another column. Mr. E. C. Dalton. renresontinc tlm Columbia and Xchalem Valley Railroad Vimuany. Bpent several davs iu this eitv thia week looking after the interests o"f the project. He will leave today for Nehalem valley to attend a meeting of nie ciuzena 10 oe neiu on Haturdav, at which the railroad proposition will be considered. Ed Stan wood, whom we mentioned some time since as projecting a sawmill enterprise, has abandoned those plans for the present and will operate a log ging camp on Tedford creek this spring and eu miner. Mr. Stanwood states that he will go ahead with his mill pro ject later in the year. The prospective high price for logs this season renders lodging a more profitable business than that of sawmilliug. For some time there have been par ties figuring on the erection of a large sawmill on Tide crek, about five miles 1kv the railroad crossing. The capac ity of the plant, if it is nut in. will he 6(1,000 feet er day. The product of the mill is to be taken to tho railroad by means of a large flume, and as there is an almost endless amount of valuable timber iu that region, such a plant could find employment for many years. Above that point on Tide creek, there has never been any logging done, and the timber is said to be of excellent quality. The introduction of such an enterprise in that part of the county would not ouly be a paying investment, but it would be the means of opening np un exceptionally ricli region. Mechanics are nt work this week put ting in additional shelving and making other improvements to the interior of the St. Helens pharmacy to nmke room for the increased stock of drugs, patent medicines, chemicals, paints, oils and painters supplies, stationery, school books, school supplies, confectionery, cigars and all other articles usually kept in a well-regulated drug store. The in crease of business warrants tlie im provements, which indicate that St. Hekms is to have a pharmacy stocked with pharmaceutical goods, second to none outside of the metropolis. The public will be pleased to learn this fact, and there is no doubt but what tho ef forts of Dr. Hoss to be at all times ready to supply the wants of this growing community will be rewarded liv a. lili- eral and substantial patronage. On Thursday evening of last week the Hath bono Bisters, at their regular eemi- monmiy meeting, entertaiuea a large number of friends and members of the K. of P. lodge at their hall in this city. The business meeting was of brief du ration, when the friends appeared and tlie festivitios began in eurnest. The feature of the evening was the guessing of conundrums, of which there was a largo number printed on small cards and distributed among the guests. A great amount of amusement was had, especially when tlie reading of the an swers was begun. At a Inter hour, teu lunch tables were spread with. many inviting delicacies, such as the good ladies of St. Helens always prepare, and for over an hour all present seemed to exert themselves to demonstrate their appreciation of the Sistors' hospi tality. To say the evening was pleas antly spent would be repeating a fore gone conclusion, and those present departed demanding, almost, an invita tion to the next social function provided by the Bathbonet.

The Epworth League gave a reception and social at Conyers hall last Friday PITTSBURd MILL BURNED. Undonbtedly of Incendiary Origin- Insured for One-Third Value. The Pittsburg lumber and grist mill was destroyed bv nre on Wednes day morning, January 81st, st about 2 o'ciocB. when the lire was discovered the flames were shooting out of the doors and windows, and to save the structure was impossible. llio nre was of incendiary nnmn There had not been a particle of fire aooui me mm lor almost three weeks. Mr. Case, the manager, is of the opinion that the fire was set underneath the mill in the planer shavings. There were seventy-five bushels of wheat stored in the mill belonging to the cornnanv anrl neventv-livfl liiiHhelB in grist belonging about the neighborhood. Besides this, there wore about 10,000 feet of the very best grade of lumber ... . . .1 . 1. - Ml mi . . i . , , Dwaci in to.? uiin. iiio piano was vaiueu at about i.swai, with i MX) insurance.

A very pleasant evening is rcpurieu, uie orrnestra music contribu ting lorgely to the enjoyment, and the spreaa ' a very agreeable sequel. It is reported that Enog Ilankins con templates a removal to Oklahoma in the near future, with his family, expecting w irv nil iortunes in that murli-ta keil- of locality. It is to be hoed that friend Hankins will not find that "distance lends enchantment," and that Oklohoma from a distance is much more attract ive than when one is there, but wo will lie surprised when he irets there if he does not sometimes think with a linger nig fondness and regret of the little ranch he left at Hazel Orove, where he spent a few pleasant vears while he was grubbing and getting a few acres in a good state of cultivation.

By lumping quickly he saved his life, but the velocipede was badly demolished. A very unfortunate and expensive ac cident happened at Glibbert's mill a few days ago when the friction gear that hoists the logs from the waUir to the mill, gave way. It will necessitate a shut down for ot least two weeks. What Does This Mean?

For sale at the St. Helens pharmacy. Organized for Work. The necessity for organization in order to accomplish any considerable amount of good in connection with the projected railroad into Nehalem valley, caused a number of the citizens of St. Helens to hold a meeting here last Saturday even ing and proceed to organize themselves into a working body of committees. The meeting was held in the office of Mr. E, E. Quick, the proposition of Mr. Dalton considered, later letters from him read and discussed, and a committee of eight members appointed to go ahead with ine wort ot securing right-ol-way, ter uv.naiB ana oiner suosiay, as louows Mr. E. E. Quick, permanent chairman Messrs. John Pringle, W. D. Case and L. W. VanDyke, of Nehalem valley, and Messrs. James Muckle, Dr. H. R. Cliff, W. B. Dillsrd and David Davis. An in formal meeting of citizens was held at Vernonia last Saturday, when the mat ter of offering inducement to the rail road company was discussed. Another meeting; will be held there tomorrow. the 10th, and the proposition to further consider matters in this connection will be again taken up. Mr. John Pringle, wno came over iroin vernonia bundav states that he anticipates no trouble in securing liberal donations of timber in that valley as an inducement to the company to construct the road. Gathering in the "Shekels." County Clerk Watts is provinz him self to be a systematic machine, not a political machine, but a tax-collectim? macnine. xnrougn nis euorts and close attention to the matter, he has collected many thousand dollars of delinquent tax wnicn otherwise would have Deen lost. One thing iu connection with this matter which strikes the observer with little of the three-cornered side of life is the suddenness with which peoole forget that they had not paid their taxes, or their sudden remembrance that they had paid their tax. but were unable to find the receipt. The clerk lias a printed form of letter, which, often after rilling up a few blank lines, he starts out on its journey to the de linquent. Sometimes it creates a little excitement, and often a little contro versy ond a ereat deal of correspon dence, but finally the tax is paid and all concerned are made to feel better. Dur- ng the month of January, this year. Mr. Watts collected $308,38 of back taxes, and the success that has attended his efforts so far this month, and the assurance he has of collecting several large sums before the first of March, is cause to believe that the amount col lected in February will be larger than was that of last month. From one per son Mr, Watts is quite certain of col lecting $130 of back taxes within the next few davs. The roceints of the county clerk's office during January, for fees, amounted to $219.80, which, with the back tax collected, made the total receipts of the clerk's office for January $617,88, a splendid start for the year. gone: homk. I Alonzo Franklin Adams, son of T. L. and C. A. Adams, was born in Rice county, Minnesota., February 27, 1860, He came with his parents to Oregon when a lad, being among the early set tlers of the Nehalem valley, where he grew to manhood and by hard work, had improved a claim and accumulated sufficient property; to form the nucleus of future prosperity. He was a quiet, unassuming, kind hearted man and the poor about him hod many opportunities to thank him for his generous benefi cence. He was most solicitous for the comfort of others, a trait of character very prominent during his last illness in his thoughtfulness for those who ad ministered to bis wants. He was always considered a good, moral man, but for some time had seriously contemplated the subject of Christian living. At a service held in the Evangelical church at Vernonia Sunday evening, Septem ber 24, last, he went to the altar, dedi cated himself to God and expressed a desire to live a Christian life. He Ht once identified himsolf with the praver circle and Sunday school.. In a few- weeks he went to Portland hospital I lor a minor surgical operatic n, where he contracted a fever, from which, after his return home, ho suffered a relapse. He lingered until Sunday evening, Jan uary 28, when the tired heart ceased to beat and the watchers said Lon had gone home. After a short service at the home of his parents, the remains were taken to the church and the funeral sermon preached by Rev. G. M. Stroup, from Exodus 3 : 2-4, and at noon on Tuesday, while the burial service was read, we laid him away to rest. Three sisters and four brothers snrvivo hiin : Mrs. Julia A.

Existing Conditions A Brilliant V .' tare In Store.. , '""ijM roaroHixAiiu,UBiLt. &j Indications point to an exceptionally busy season in Columbia county this spring and summer. The opening of tfie salmon season is always looked upon with great anticipation, but extraordi- j nary interest in ine n.-ning season seems ! to he manifested. The prospect for a high price for fish is inspiring fishermen to unusual preparations . for that occa sion. Merchants and business men in all parts of the county seem agreed that the year just starting out does so under the most promising conditions. While the fishing industry is of great importance to our county, and is one from which a great revenue is derived by many of our people for a few months in tlie summer season, its importance is greatly overshadowed by the logging and lumbering industry, which, however, at present promises w oe me most success ful and profitable during the present year of any time in the history of that business. Besides these industries our farmers, dairymen and stockraisers have ?;reat assurance of an increased demand or all their product at an increased price. The price of stock has not been so high for many years, with no indica tion of a decline iu either demand or price. These conditions are only what might bo expected from the natural develop ment and upbuilding of a rich county with unbounded resources and advan tages, but there are other matters which strengthen and reassure our people of a new era of- advancement, development and commercial progress. Nature has done a great deal for our county, which man, so far, lias been unable to take ad vantage of. Circumstances have given the county sixty miles of frontage on the greatest river of the Northwest, where facilities for shipping are not ex celled. To add further to the impor tance of such conditions, nature has provided our hilltops and valleys with unexcelled timber resources, both in i quantity and quality; it has filled our I nins witn iron and coal ; our sou it has made productive: filled our rivers with an abundance of fish, and by engage ment in that industry, employment is furnished for hundreds of people. We have the finest dairying and agricultural lands on the coast. Ail now that is necessay to provide for wider business opportunities is the building of one or two short railroads from points on the Columbia river into the county's inter ior to open uo means for transporting the vast wealth of timber to Uie mar kets of the state, where the product can be manufactured into lumber and shipped to every knovra country on the globe. This important necessity seems well nder way now to be provided, at one point in the county at least. Certainly no more lavorabte place for the river terminus of a railroad into the interior is to be found than at St. Helens. An easy grade from here can be had, and when the product of our adjacent coun try is brought to the Columbia by such a road, it is within a few moment's travel from the metropolis of the state, a condition which would add greatly to advantages. The river front at St. Helens is the first opportunity for landing in deep water below Portland. Vessels could be loaded here at small expense with the products of all the country tributary to this place, which comprises the tim ber from many thousand acres of heavily timbered land the entire distance to the Nehalem val ley. Such an enterprise not only would sfl'ord opportunities for mar keting the timber, but it would open up a broad field for manufacurine, furmins. dairying, fruit culture and stock raising. The Nehalem valley ia an abundantly rich region, in which abounds great natural resources, and when once tapped by roil it will become one of the wealth iest agricultural sections in the state. The advantage of rail facilities by way of St. Helens is not to be underesti mated, on account of the alwavs-reaHv market for these products at Portland. The climate of Columbia county ia the most beathful of any section in the state. Our winters are mild and our summers delightful in the extreme. Our mountains and valleys abound with delightful summer resorts. There are many enterprises which will certainly closely tollow the building of a railroad. Innumerable sawmills and manufacturing plants of various kinds will seek location within our borders immediately upon the opening up of oar county by a railroad: hundreds of peor fne win pe given employment, ana every armer and business man will have great demand for his products and goods. iiy all means let ua foster and encour age any plan or undertaking which promises all or any part of these oppor tunities, iv e nave uie resources, dui the capital must come from without our own borders. It would be irrational to presume that capitalists would come merely for the benefit of onr own people. Chances for large returns on the capital invested is cerUinly seen by those who are about to undertake a railroad pro ject, and for that reason we have ample assurance that equal benefit will be de rived by the residents of this county. From a business standpoint, from the standpoint of a desire to progress rather than to retrogade, let us encourage all the effort that may be made to open np our county. Wanted.
