"Grandma" Merrill, of Deer Island. died at her home at 12:30 noon, Wednes day. jJeccaaed was the mother of Hon. Norman Merrill, of Clatskanle, Kdwin Merrill and Aloniso Merrill, of Deer Isl and. Mrs. Merrill was a very aged lady, having resided in thia county for more man lorty years. Mrs. M. F. Hazcn, of Warren, met with a Revere winfortune last Tuesday morning by running a needle into her right hand, eye-end first. After enter ing the flesh nearly half an inch the needle broke off. The needle waa threaded, iiiUicting gTeatcr puin. Mrs. Hazcn was brought to town and physi cians removed tiie unending particle without difficulty. In the probate court last Saturday, Mr, Charles Mnyirer waa appointed ad ministrator of the estate of Ueorge Haves, deceased. The estate is esti mated to be worth tliOOO. Mr. Rufua li. Kins was appointed euardian of the liiiilnr lwiv. Alivin. aiypfl 14 vearfi wlin exprepecd a desire for the appointment of each of those gentlemen to the posi tions respectively. The county clerk collected 1138.83 of back taxes on Tuesday of this week from Edmund Hall, a timber land ownor, residing in tne fcast. Ttie money waa due for taxea on land for inuj. J lie lands In some cases were assessed to other parties, but it develop ing that Mr. Hal! owned the lands, be was notified of the amount due, and forthwith settled it. Herb Howard, the Yankton sawmill man, waa in town Saturday. Mr. How ard saya he has aliout 400, WO feet of excellent quality of logs in his mill pond, and in a very short time his mill will start up on full time and continue to run all summer. He will cut a great deal of cedur thia season for the l'ort land aasi and door factories. Mr. Howard states that a good demand for cedar lumlier exists in that city, and he finds a ready market at good prices, for all the cedar be can supply. The work of extending the tax on the roll was finished in the county clerk's otlice last Tuesday, and comparing waa commenced. The roll will be ready to turn over to the sheriff for collection by tne last of the week, roe slienu lias already received many letters of in quiry regarding taxes from people who are anxious to pay and get the matter oil their bonds. It ia very likely that tax collections will be made with leas difficulty this year than last, when the record was beaten lor early remittances. There are to be several changes among the business-house locations in this city about the first of April, liriiin, the saloon man, has leased the Harris build- iiiv. now occumed bv Morons, the Jew. and after the ft rut of April Ilrinn will serve liquid reiresnmenta to nis menus at the new stand. J. S. Clonlnger has leaned the Iilakesley building now occu pied by Hi inn llros., aleo the Cooper saloon building, but for what purpose ie yet a mystery, unless in anticipation of an influx of people to the town upon the commencement of work on the rail road. Morgue seems to be rooted out entirely and is just now seeking a new location. Mr. Dillurd ia figuring on putting np a business house over on the strand in front of the Harris building, which, if erected, will probably not be long without an occupant. There ia 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 Biimll 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 aa soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attuck. In cases of whooping cough it liquitlcs the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the parox ysms of coughing, thug depriving that disease of all dangerous consequences.

Judge Doan and Assessor White at tended a meeting in Portland this week of the county Judges and assessors of the stuto, which waa calculated to bring some good results in regard to the assessment of the present year. Since the state board of equalization was abolished assessors throughout the state wore at liberty to assess property just as they saw fit, and the result has been anything but justand equal. Assess or White in his remarks before the con vention, outlined a policy, which if pursued, would b. of incalculable ben efit. ' His suggestions were along the line of needed legislation governing assess ments and tux collecting. Aa the laws now are there is no definite policy for officers to pursue, and the next legisla ture can beet honor itself and benefit the people of the state by devoting some time to fixing up the laws relative to assessments ana tax collecting. THE STEAMBOAT WORLD. Many Change May be Made Among Popular B team boat.. , Good ground can be stated for the belief that the .Telephone, and, possibly, the Bailey Uatzert. steamboats oper ated by the White Collar line between Astoria and Portland, have been sold to people on tne wound. . It waa known several dava atro that an offer hod been mads by Seattle parties hi purunase potn these magnificent ooats, me price reported being 46,UW. It is said that the White Collar Line people declined thia proposition, how ever, offering to sell onlv the Telephone. The price asked for this boat ia not stated. Just which one of the proposl tions has, or may be agreed upon, it ia Impossible to say. The report received Includes the statement that at least one of the boats will be taken to the Sound on the first of April. Another report is enrrent that the Lurliiie. owned bv the Jacob Knmin Company, will be taken off the lower Columbia run and sent to The Dalles, to ue put on uie upper uommbia river run. Whether this proposed change means that the Kamm Interests have been dis posed of to other parties, cannot yet be learneu. noweyer, mat tne Lurline will cease to tie up at Astorsa docks after the prosent month seems to be pretty certain. In the absence of definite or anthora.- tiv iiiiui IU.VIVI1. lb IO UllUUUlb W UIVW satisfactory conclusions as to the signifi 4I..A ; r. i. .1 : .i: i . A i cance oi trie reports, it is possible inat iiiey may nave an important bear ing on the pending differences between the (. It. fc N. and the Astoria & Co- lumbla liiver railroad in the passenger rates between Astoria and Portland. Thia is a theory that has been advanced witu a aegree ot plausibility. It does not necessarily follow, however, that any force attaches to this theory, for the removal of the White Collar Line's boats and the Lnrline might operate only to remove all opposition to the O. It. & N. on the river, leaving the fight between the O. R. & M. and th. Astoria road the same as present. , CliATHKAMB ITEMS. Fred Hiatt is now established as pro prietor oi tne DarDer snop. Gilbert Tinker, of near Ilwaco, has been a visitor tn our city tor a tew days, Edgar Qulgley was on our streets Tues day for the first time since his attack of typhoid lever. Mrs. C. P. Clark has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. Chas. Qomme, in Port land lor some days past. The new opera house Is rapidly ap proaching completion and will be a val uable addition to the town. Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Stout, of Ilwaco, spent a few days in town aa guests ol Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Myers. The removal of John Hudson to Bridal Veil made an empty house, which was at once taken by a family recently from Missouri. The library of the public school had a few volumes of public documents added lately, for which the patrons feel indebted to Hon. U. W. McBride. Mr. and Mrs. N. Merrill are at Deer Island thia week in attennance upon Mrs. Merrill, sr., whose condition is re ported very serious for one of her age. The aldermanic form and genial coun tenance of John Uendrickson, of Quincy, waa seen on our streets Monday. John ia getting to tie quite a prominent busi ness man over there. It ia Cape Nome that ia on the brain of some of our citizens now. They de clare they are going by first steamer. Fortunately it will be several weeks be fore the first steamer starts, so they can have time to think it over. Mrs. M. Kehoe and son, of Minnesoata, after a visit of a couple of months with the family of her daughter, Mrs. E. Hughes, started on Wednesday of last week on their return trip. They bad the company of Mrs. Hughes and Elsie as far as Portland. It Is getting noised abroad that there la timber up the Clatskanie. and people drop in to look it over occasionally. We are satisfied that there is a vast amount of it, and others are beginning to catch on to the same idea. Something ia go ing to be done before a great while to get this timber out. Clatskanie has a future, and the balance of the county must look a little out. The Good Templars held a session of their district lodge in our city last Sat urday and on that evening gave an en tertainment to which the public was invited. The hall wag well filled on that occasion and a very interesting programme ot music, readings and reci tations, interspersed by brief addresses, was listened to. Orville Merrill waa master of ceremonies and promised us more of the same order at intervals of a month or six weeks. The light snow fall gave two evenings of splendid coasting last week. The fun was attended by some risk, however, and several persons got alight bruises. John Popham came in contact with a telegraph pole near the barber shop with such force that he was severely stunned and seemed entirely helpless and had to be hauled home very care fully. After a day'a rest, however, it was found that he was not so seriously injured as was feared, and at present he is able to be around again. The Modern Woodmen camp of this city enjoyed the visit of a few of the state officials of that order, including Mr. Simmons, state deputy, and Dr. H. Meade, supreme medical examiner, and several others on Saturday evening, the 10th. The buainess part of the evening waa followed by a lunch and thia sup plemented by return to the hall and an informal meeting, where a very enjoya ble time seems to have been passed if one may fudge from the applause that could be heard outside at brief intervals until the night threatened to give way to dawn. The United Artisans have a social evening during each month, and on hist Monday evening a number of friends were invited to the hall to spend the evening with them. The orchestra was present and played some fine selections In a manner to show that their practice was getting the players in good shape for entertaining a crowd. Choruses, rec itations and solos added to the enjoy ment of the evening, but the worthy ladies of the order, who seemed deter mined that nothing should be left un done for the entertainment of their guests, invited them to a collation, which was ail that could be desired, and served in such a pleasant, way that guests felt it was their duty to show their apprecia tion by eating heartily. It is needless to state they did their duty in this re spect, and when the evening wag apent left the hall thanking the ladies of the order particularly for a very pleasant evening.

They will have an other consultation next week. VALLEY ITEMS. Mr. Evoh was here last Sunday, Wm. Miller went to Houlton. on Fri day. L. Dupont took a trio to Portland Monday. About four inches of snow fell the latter part of last week. It laid a few daya and then disappeared. Mr. Bockmeyer moved to the Bum- gardner place at Deer Island, on Mon day of lost week, where he will here after make his home. Two gentlemen from Portland took a stride over this vast timber belt the early part of last week. We could not learn their special obiect for doing so. They had a compass with them and found corners of different sections, and also took a glance over the large fir and cedar timber which grows in this vi cinity. VERNONIA ITEMS. Phillip Sbeelev returned from Forest Grove laat Friday. Prosper Claude was in Vernonia Sat urday from Keasey, D. M. Holbrook. of Portland, is visit- friends in the valley this week. . Mrs. Ethel Pringle has been auite sick but is better at this writing. H. C. Clark returned to the valley last Wednesday, after an absence of nearly a year in Eastern Oregon. The cold snap last week will be a great benefit to fruit in jbis section. The warm weather in January was mak ing the lruit tree Ducts swell too early. Circuit Court. Judge McBride held an adjourned term of circuit court here last Saturday, when the following proceedings were had : Franz Elhng vs. W. H. Musgrove; finding in favor of the plaintiff. Margaret A.

Porter; mo tion to quash service of summons over ruled and given until March 3d to answer. Court adjourned until March 3d. Climatic Effect on Orchard Pests. We are beginning to learn some inter esting things concerning the effect of climate on orchard pests. The habits of these pests differ greatly west of the Kockies from those of the same species in the East. At Tacoma Prof. Cordley stated that in the East the codling moth does its damage as soon as the blooms are out. aud the authorities there rec ommend spraying from bloom to June 20th. Here, the professor says, this moth does its work from June 20th to September 20th, and the spraying should be done at that season. Mr. Smith, of Hood River, reported 98 per cent of the apples free from worms by diligent use of the Kedzie spray. We shall probably find the season in which the codling moth is active differs con siderably in the different climatic condi tions of our own state. Ranch and Range. Tell Y.ur Slater.

The republican committee of this the Second congressional distrtict, met In Portland on Wednesday of laat week and took action on important matters relative to arrangements for the district convention. All the counties in the district, except Clatsop and Wallowa were represented. The committee decided to hold the congressional convention in the Second district the day after the state conven tion is held in Portland, and the ratio of apportionment is to be the same as tnatoi the state convention, a resolu tion was passed to the effect that every county in the district should send sepa rate sets of delegates to the state and district conventions. This resolution was offered by G. W. Phelps, represen- ing Morrow. 4Sv witiuu w n,o uiouv n uk anivpiru. which stated that where a county failed to elect delegates to both conventions, the delegates to the state convention were entitled to sit in the congressional convention. At 2 o'clock on the same day. the re publican state central committee held a meeting at the office of George A. Steele, for the purpose of selecting the time and place for holding the next state convention. Portland waa chosen as the place. The ratio of 160 waa chosen after a long discussion, as a larger convention would be had by this method By this apportionment Columbia county will be entitled to six delegates. The republican state convention will be held in Portland on Thursday, April the 12th. The congressional convention of this district will be held on the following day, It was recommended by the state central committee that precinct primar ies be held on Wednesday, March 21, and the county convention on Thursday, March 29th. The county democratic central com mittee of this county met in this city last Saturday and called the county convention for the selection of delegates to the state convention, to meet in this city on Saturday, April 7th. They called for the holding of the precinct democratic primaries on naturday, Marcn jsi.se. Split Over Fusion. walk-out followed a turbulent meeting of the populist national committee to night. The anti-fusion leaders, alter having a nnmber of their followers turned down by the credentials commit tee, organized a bolt and formed a new committee. The members favorable to fusion, after adopting the report of the credentials committee, adjourned until tomorrow, when, in all likelihood, it will empower the chairman, or a com mittee of three, to call the national con vention for the same city and the same time the democratic convention ia held. Caucuses and conferences thia morn ing among the contending factions be tokened an inharmonious meeting of the full committee, which began at 3 o'clock this afternoon in representative hall of the state capitol, and the indica tions that breakers were ahead were emphasized 10 minutes after Chairman Butler called the committee to order and announced that it would at once go into executive session. The difficulties of the members, of whom there were about eighty present, but holding proxies for nearly the full committee, hinged on the old question oi fusion. The element led by senator Allen, with apparently the strongest following, insisted on fusion, and to that end that a committee be appointed with power to call the convention for the same day and place as the democrats. lbe middle-of-the-roaders made a proposition to compromise matters re garding credentials, but the fusion ele ment was unrelenting and the proposi tion was ignored by the full committee, and the committeee on credentials re ported, excluding all but five of the anti-fusion members. In the midst of an uproar, the middle-of-the-roaders. led by Parker of Kentucky, and Welles of Iowa, left the hall, engaged a room down town and organized a bolting meeting. The main committee shortly before midnight, withvut deciding on a date or place for the national conven tion, adjourned until tomorrow morning. The bolters, who secured a room at the Grand hotel, prepared an address and called a national convention for Cincinnatti, Wednesday, May 9. Central Committee Meeting. The county republican central com mittee for Columbia county, Oregon, will meet at St. Helens. Oregon, on Friday, March 2nd, 1900, at 1 o'clock p. m., to apportion the number of dele gates to the coming republican conven tion, select a place for - holding such co vent ion, time of holding it, and rec ommending a date for holding precinct primaries, and for the transaction of such other business as may be properly brought before such meeting. Each pre cinct committeeman is earnestly re quested to attend. David Davis, Chairman. Warren Republicans. Warms, Feb. 20. (To the Editor.) short time since the republicans of this precinct organized a club to ha called the "Warren Republican Club." its membership roil new shows forty (40) eligible voters, and we hope to soon be able to show a much larger number. V. C. allabd, Secy. A meeting of the county populist cen tral committee was held at Rainier on Wednesday of this week. According to reports, all was not harmony there, es pecially when the proposition to fuse became debatable. Some of the mem bers are said to have inaugurated a walk ont. The extent of the lollowing with thia movement we did not learn. LETTER FROM WISCONSIN. Detailed Information Regarding; Co lumbia County Wanted.
