Rainiku Or., March 7. -The annual olecMou for city officers at tills place on Monday was characterized bv consid erable interest, more so, by great odds, tliun has marked such an occasion for several years.

The whole number of votes cast wus 111, and tlio citi.enn' candidates for town trustees received almost the entire solid vote. Thono elected, with the number of votes received, are as follows : J.

When the mill is in shape a win nave a capacity oi aooui io.ovu ieet per day, and as there Is good de mand and good prices for lumber, Mr, Muckle will certainly succeed in the ven ture. As his mill is located on the river bank at a convenient point for shipping. either by water or rail, we soon expect to see Mr. Muckle sending out cargoes of lumber. It is, at least, the wish of his many friends at this place that all he anticipates in bis new venture will lie reuliod. Mot Pomeroy and F.. II.

Mr. and Mrs. James Muckle enter tained a lare number of friends at their home in thin city last Baturdny evening. The occasion was the celebration of tiie anniversary of Mrs. Muckle's birth.

Host Mucklo won tne pn.c in tne drawing contest.

It was not losniblo to decide upon wno won me auruls nt the lunch table, and after half an hour's contest all present seemed anile willing that the prize awarding no made a matter for future determination. The "evening was most pleasantly spent. Public Meeting Held. A nublic meeting was held at the court house in this city last Saturday evening, the object being to devise means lor raining a subsidy oi casli witn which to purchase timber to make up the deficiency of tho timber donation asked by the people who are projecting the building of n railroad from this city to Pittsburg. There docs not appear to be an over-xealous disposition ou the part of the people owning timber along the proposeu route to annate very iiutrrnuv of their holdings ns an inducement, and tho proposition to subscribe funds and oiler a Bin nil price for the timber is now under preparation. Mr. R. 11. Mitchell in of the opinion that he can purchase timber in Nehaleni valley forf-l per acre, that is, as a subsidy, and in accordance with expressed views, Mr. Mitchell was constituted a committee of one to go to Nehnlem vullcy and ucgotlato with tlio people for small tracts, of timber, taking sixty-day options at f.1 per acre. wtiettior tne plan win prove Buceesmui or not remains to bo seen, but unless something of that nature is accom plished there is, indeed, little hope for the building of the lino, as there seems but little disposition on the part of the people to donate their timber outright. It was at first proposed to bond the city for a small sum in order to raise me subsidy, but the plan seemed to meet with little favor, and donations in casti by individuals were then ollored. It is estimated that there should be at least ifSOOO raised lor that purpose. Two Villainous Crimes. The following telegraphic dispatch from Astoria appeared in last Saturday's Telegram : .1 Astokia, Marcn 3. ine Btory oi two of the most villainous crimes reported in Oregon for some months comes from tlio .Nehulein country, where Mann I.nne, a farmer, was bound over to await the action of the grand iury on a charge of rape. Two little girls, one 12 and the other 14, are enceinte, and the residents of that section are aroused over the matter. The child ruined by Lane is bis niece, whose parents are dead. Three years ago, when the little one was but 0 years of age. the improper relations com menced. Mrs. Lane left her husband on account of the scandal. The 14-year-old girl was the victim of another ranchor, who when ho realized bis awful crime, feigned insanity, and after pretending to be violently insane, left the country. During one of his al leged insane spells, be attompted to butcher a neighbor with a knife, but was brought to his senses when beaten with a club. Lane wns arraigned for preliminary hearing before Judge Case, on Tuesday. There was a clear case against him, and ho was bound over in the sum of $2500 to nwait the action of the grand jury. lloing unable to furniBh bonds, I.nne was ordered confined and was taken to St. Helens, tho county seat, where he will remain in jnii pending trial.

We un derstand Charlie Loveil expects to buy mat property as a riome .lor ins mother and sisters. The entertainment on Saturday even ing was a very pleasant slliur outside of a little disorder on the part of the juniors in the audience. There seemed to be no restraint placed upon them and a great deal oi unnecessary hilarity was indulged in. The parts generally were well taken and eonio of the exercises were really very meritorious. James Kemp, a familiar figure about Quincy for several years past, sold his rancn recently and lelt tne country the first of the week for California, prob ably, though he was not certain as to his future destination. Jim was a char acter with good traits, but with a good many angles, whicli seemed to make him a slight misfit in the community. Being a bachelor probably accounted for liis peculiarities, and testified to man's need of the gentle influence of a good wife to smooth the irregularities of his disposition. Jim, in his bachelorhood. at his age, will never find a land or com munity where every prospect pleases, but may And a dryer climate. There was considerable of a turnout at the school meeting Monday afternoon as was anticipated, inasmuch as it was thought there would be some uiuerence of sentiment in regard to the selection of director for the next three years. The meeting being held in the afternoon, some oi those present were anxious to get through as Boon as possible and voted to proceed at once to the election of director and clerk. Dr. Hall, the retiring director, was placed in nomina tion for another term. One other name was mentioned, and the chairman an nounced that voters would be at lib erty to voto for anyone, whether nom inated or not. On tne ballot being taken it was found that Pr. Hall had received about five-sixth's of ail the votes cast and was elected. For clerk C. Tiohenor was re-elected by accla mation. A considerable portion of the audience then retired, but the balance remained to hear the report and plan for the coming year. There was quite a sentiment in fuvor of heating the build- nohr ajiirnnee ns ,mnm eeonom"Jt'.ot I uei and more satiuiautoiy than by stoves, and a desire was also expressed to get the school grounds in better shape. A few people volunteered to work Saturday next if the weather wob at alt favorable, to level off the grounds about the building. WAUKKN ITEMS. Mr. E. Hall was a Portland visitor last week. Mrs. J. S.

Columbia county, Or., with branch lines wherever it is found necessary, to be selected by the board of directors. Mr. Uerlinger could not be' seen yes terday with reference to this enterprise. It is understood by those acquainted with his movements thut the Nehalem road will be built primarily for the log ging and timber business. It taps one of the richest timber districts of the state of Oregon, and reaches the rich agricultural valley of the Nehalem. There is scarce a doubt that the building of thin line will etimiHute the opening of coal mines which are known to exist in tiie Nelialem valley: It is a well-settled fact that good coal is accessible to the railroad lino but it has not yet been demonstrated that the veins are large, though all indications point to this. Incidentally the road will take cure of local business, winch will naturally come to it. Those who are in Mr. Ger iinger's confidence think that be has ample capital to build the line, and that work upon it will begin yery early this spring. ItEUUEN ITEMS.
