The fact that Mr. Willard Johnson, of

Mr. I. Bumgardiier and family, of
Doer island, too tueir departure on
Monday for California, where they expect
to locate and reside permanently. They
will go to Oakland, and if not satislicd
with that locality, will go on to Santa
Rosa. Mr. Bumgardner has been a
resident of this county for many years,
and in his removal the county loses a
good and honorable citisen. The Mist
joins with a host of other friends in
wishing Mr. Bumgardner and his family
improved health, contentment and pros
purity in their new homo.
The man with the standing ad is the
backbono of the newspaper, and the
solid man of the community. In sum
mer or in winter, in sunshine or rain,
his name greets the public eye with
every issue of tho papor, and the public
come in time to regard him as well
established in a successful business,
whether they have been his patrons or
not. "Nothing succeeds like suocess,"
and the public once getting the idfa
that a man is doing well, stands ready
to patronize him and turns to him nat
urally when it wants anything in his
line. In this simple fact lies tho whole
secret oi persistent auvertising.
Jack McKie, of Stella, was passen

quite certain that ether and better con

A narrow escape from Lelna killed last
Friday. Nick was engaged in some
work near the timber fellers, and a tree
on which the workmen were laboring
started to lull in tne direction oi which
Nick was working.- Fortunately he
heard the tree start ' to fall and by a
suuucn inspiration lor unequaled exer
tion of his legs he reached a point of
safety not any too soon( as the tree, in
its downward flight, missed him but a
few feet. Such accidents and escapes
are of so frequent occurrence in the
timber camps that loggers think little of
them only at the tune, but to ordinary
humanity the thought of such accidents
creates a ilesti-creeping sensation.
Mr. Byron Grote waa ainone the pas
sengers for Portland Inst Monday from
down-river points. He bad spent the
day before cruising and examining the
timber and country in the vicinity of
Tide creek, with a view to putting in a
,in i. ...ii- i, -
euwiiiio n lew nines auove me ran roan
crossing on that stream. Mr. Grote's
associates in the protected enterprise
were not favorably impressed with the
conditions and surroundings, and it is
thought the plan of building the mill
and uume, us mentioned in this paper
last week, will be abandoned. To ac
complish what would bo desired would
necessitate the outlay of a very large
sum of money and Mr. Grote is of the
opinion that conditions would not war
rant such an expenditure,
A dispatch from Astoria in Wednes
day's Orpgonian says: "The cold-storage
men have already liegnn to fight for
nsh and irom the experience oi last year
it is hard to tell where it will end. The
ruling price for llsh until recently has
Dcen ,'-ieenis per pound lor stcelliesds,
and 8 cents for chinooks. Yesterday
Charles Alter, the buyer for foreign
shipment, raised the price to 8' cents.
and this morning Trescott & Co. went a
half-cent higher, making the price 0
cents, ano at me same time announcing
that they were willing to meet any ad
vance that Alter might make. As there
is so little snow in the mountains the
seiners will not wait until after the an
nual flood as usual, but will put their
seines in the water as soon as the season
shall open."
Some of our people think the weather
will continue as ot late throughout the
remainder of the winter, while others
are certain there will yet be a severe
cold snap. The latter class substantiate
their opinions by stories of great and
severe storms they have seen in Oregon
in February, nil of which they claim are
the frozen truth. Some of our wise
acres were discussing the weather a day
or two since in a down-town store, when
one old-timer took occasion to say that
he had seen six weeks of sledding in
this country during the month of Febru
aryphenomenally long month while
another insisted that he had crossed the
river at St. Helens on the 4th of August
on the ice. That must have been last
August. We have nothing to offer re
garding the weather. Experience has
taught us better.
Mr. James Muckle. sr., of this city, last
week received from the Canadian govern
ment a medal as a token of recognition of
his services to that government as a vol
unteer soldier during, the Fenian raid
iu 1H70. The medal is of solid silver.
aliout the size of a silver dollar, on one
side bearing; the stamp of the bust of
Queen Victoria, on the other side a scroll
of maple leaves the emblem of the
Canadian government surrounding the
flag of that country. On the edge of the
medal are stamied the words "Sr-
geant James Muckle." Mr. Muckle
irizes the medal very highly, and well
te might, as it certainly Is as neat a
token as was ever issued in recoenition
of any service. The English govern
ment designed the medals, but they
were issued to the many volunteers by
the Canadian government.
Frank and George Clark, who reside a
few miles back ail Goble, met with a
rather serious accident on Tuesday.

enmo fractious and started to run away.
The driver was thrown from the wagon.

retrained himself just as the team bis

lie attempted to stop his brother's team,
but this he did not accomplish until
Frank was thrown from his wagon, that
vehicle passing over Frank'a body. A
double-bitted axe fell from the wagon at
the same time, on which Frank landed,
head first, receiving a serious scalp
wound. Both the hoya were quite seri
ously injured, but Dr. Cliff, who was
called, states that their injuries will not
prove fatal.
Everything is now in readiness for
the big ball in this city on Washington's
birthday, February 22nd next Thurs
day evening. Aylosworth's orchestra,
consisting oi four pieces, will come from
Portland to luruisli the music, lheso
musicians have a reputation of furnish
ing tho best dance music of any orches
tra in the city, and no doubt they will
endeavor to' maintain that reputation
when they arrive here. Mr. Willard
Johnson, of Castle Rock, Wash., who
will have charge oi the floor, nas no
superiors in that business. Both musi
cians and manager have been secured at
great expense in order to give the de
votees of Terpsichore of this part of the
country a splendid opportunity to enjoy
themselves. ' a splendid supper, sncn
ss is always prepared at that popular
house, will be served at the Oriental
hotel. Mr. W. F. Slaughter, the general
manager of the dance, guarantees the
very best of order in the ball room, and
all those who are desirous of having a
thoroughly eliipyable time will do well
to attend. Tickets only 75 cents.
Gus H. Byuon. whom many people
of this county will remember as a mem
ber of the firm of Bynon Uraden,
publishers of the Nehalem Journal, at
Vernonia, several years ago, has de
camped under circumstances which ren-!
ders the act criminal, lie was in charge
of the branch store of the Gratton,
Knight Belt Co., at Seattle, which posi
tion he had held for many months, and
was said to have been making a good
manager. About the holiday season
business waa quite brisk in that line of
goods aud a great deal of money was
being received at the store. Bynon took
advantage of the confidence reposed in
him by his employers, and when he had
accumulated some $1500 of the company's
money he seemed to have wanted to
take a trip, which he did, deserting his
wife and family, and until the present
time his whereabouts is a mystery.
Bynon was under $1500 bonds, furnished
by the Portland Bond A Guarantee Co.,
so tliat his employers' loss has been
made good. Bynon was of an adventur
ous disposition, and his inclination to
roain has probably carried bun to some
of the late additions of torritory to

croup, but when given as soon as tbe
croupy cough appears, will prevent the
attack. In cases of whooping cough it
liquitles the tough mucus, making it
easier to expectorate, and lessens the
severity and frequency of the parox-

. IMPORTANT MEETING.
' A convention of county judges, county
coiiimiMftloners and assessors' of the
state will convene next Tuesday in
Portland at the rooms of the Multno
mah county commissioners, in the City
Hall. The purpose of the assembly is
to agree upon some equitable plan that
can be adopted in assessing the tax of
iwo and recommend to the legislature
of 1901 such amendments to the present
laws as the convention shall present.
The laws especially to be considered are
the cumbersome, Inefficient and inoper- i
ative laws relating to assessments and
taxation, roads and highways, and pro
bate matters.
An effort will he made to have every
county represented at the convention
and the state board of equalization.
Invitations have been forwarded to Gov
ernor T. T. Geer, Secretary of State
Dunbar and State Treasurer C. S. Moore.
The last convention of this character
was held in Portland on July 12 and 13,
1899, Judge J. H. D. Gray, of Clatsop
county, presiding, and A. M. Kelsey, of
Wasco county, acting as secretary. The
former meeting, owing to the date being
several months after March 1, when the
work of assessing commences, and for
the reason that many of the counties
were not represented, failed to accom
plish the purpose for which the meeting
was called.
Discussion developed that radical
changes should be made in the assess
ment laws, but beyond that point the
convention did not proceed. The follow
ing committee was appointed at the for
mer meeting to draft a bill and make
recommendations to be sent to the legis
lature: First district. J. C.Pendleton.
Jackson county; second district, D. P.
Burton, iJine county ; tnird district, J.
M. Yocum. of Yamhill county: fourth
district, R. S. . Greenleaf, Multnomah
county; fifth district, C. W. Carnahan,
Clatsop county; sixth district, George
ouzan, umatnia county; eeventh dis
trict. B. F. Pike. Sherman county:
eighth district, J. C. Pnyton, Baker
county ; ninth district, J. D. Tidus,
Grant county.
Asseesor Ureenleat, of Multnomah
county, was appointed chairman of the
committee, which has not as yet held a
session to outline a policy. Mr. (ireen-
leaf states, however, that he will call a
meeting of the committee shortly before
tne convention is held, probably today.
une ot the chief difficulties in prepar
ing such a law as is contemplated is
that no one man can judge of what is
necessary. A county assessor is not
qualified to make a law for Portland,
and, on the other hand, a city assessor
does not know what is best for tbe
country. It is hoped that by a deal of
investigation and bard work some sort
of an agreement can be arrived at that
will, at least, remedy a few of tne worst
features of the existing law.
In this work the convention may be
assisted by the Taxpayers' League.
which, it is understood, is preparing a
aiinimr uivaaurts tor me legislature.
eeverai of Columbia county's officials
expect to attend the convention next
week.
