At St. Vincent'a hospital In Port land.
on Thuraduy of luat week, physicians
performed a moat akilllul and surceaMul
operation upon Captain A. A. Hender
son, of lloulton. The right half of the
lower jaw bone and the entire cheek
waa taken out in order to remove a ma

threatened the life of Mr. Henderson in
a very.briof period. The operation waa
performed hy Dra. McKenxie, Clilf, of
this city, and Hall, of Kainier. The
patient' physlcinn, l)r, Clilf, called at
the hoaoltal on Tueadav and found the
cuplrtiii resting easy. The physician ex
presses mine to have his patient out

Henderson' many friends will be
pleased to know that the operation was
so successful and his ultimate recovery
is almost an assured tact.

re the proprietors. Had there oeen
the alighest desire on the part of any

the chancellor commander would have
ruled such a nroceedimt out of order.
and his ruling would have been promptly
suMtulned. The invitation was accepted
and nineteen brave Knights demon

was promptly assured of the apprecia

The order of tho county court made
on Tuesday last that but two-thirds of
the amount of money duo each road
district, to bo collected on the MM) tux
roll, be disbursed on the ronds within
the respective district hy tho present
supervisor, is logical. The amounts due
each road district, as shown by a table
elsewhere in this issue, is the entire
amount to lie collected from the taxable
property within the district, and there
is certain to bo delinquencies of greater
or less amounts in eucu instance. Hence
it v ill readily bo seen that it Is more
than ordinarily important that the sup
ervisor does not expend the entire sum.
The money may ho collected early and'
it may not, hence, if not collected it will
not be on hand to disburse. Strict com
pliance with the order of tho court in
this utalter is of vital imiiortance. Of
course if tho supervisor disregards the
edict of the court and expends the full
amount due his district as set forth in
the table, he does so at his own risk,
and forthwith becomes reaponaihlo for
any amount expended over two-thirds
the amount due the district.

First Paper In thla County.
One day last week Mr. Charles Blakes
ley handed us a copy of the first issue
of the Columbian, the first paper pub
lished in Columbia county, established
at St. Helens, and bearing date of Aug
ust 13th, 1880. The paper is replete
with live local happenings and a splen
did selection of miscellaneous matter,
as well as much valuable historical mat
ter of the early settlement of Columbia
county and the founding of St. Helens.
The salutatory of the editor and proprie
tor, Mr. K. G. Adams, waa the portrayal
of excellent sentiment and policy,
which, if carefully pursued, would have
enabled the Columbian to have lived on
and on, but unfortunately the straight
and narrow path was deviated from, and
the paper soon outlived ita usefulness.
A tombstone bearing the epitaph:
"Hatred, Envy and Abuse," marks the
last resting place of the Columbian in
the memory of the population. The
paper lived about five years. Mr. Blakes
ley expects to send the paper to the
Oregon Historical Society at Portland,
as a souvenir of early days In Columbia
county.
