The location of the poetofflee at Rain

tidioui Ideas, lie will carry a stock of
Htationery, figure and coufectionery,

V Improvement! which have been going

devoted much energy and expended
much money to fit up the room and
atock the bar with an exceptionally su
perior line of foreign and domestic
wines, liquors and cigari, bottled and
lager beer, including the favorite Hock.
The house will be. opened to the public
Saturday night of this week, at which

d Another business change took place in
Virtown on M5nday when Mr. J. U.
Dart, who for aome time has success
fully conducted the local butchering and
meat supply business, disposed of hia
interests in the OBtablinhmont to Messrs.
Aaron Kellv and Frank Oilson, of lloul
ton.j The new firm willdo businessnnder
the firm style of Kelly A Uilson, and
being young men of energy and push
will be successful in their venture. Mr.
Dart haa for some time had in contem
plation a trip to the mining campi of
the far north possessions and expects
to leave soon for those regions. We
recommend the new firm and heartily
invite the public to favor them with a
liberal patronage.

VubeooniltiK Conduct.
Borne miscreants at Warren are Invit
ing very serious calamities upon them
selves by their conduct In hurling stonei
tli rough the window! of the railroad
passenger coaches us they past thut
place. Last Sunday evening aa the
Astoria train wai passing that place at
m urjr mKii raio oi ipeeo, tnroe very
large stones were hove through the
windows, and the escape of leveral pua
sengnrs from serious wounds ii said to
have been miraculous. Such conduct
is very unbecoming and In no wise re'
necta credit upon Die community. An
eflort should le made to apprehend the
evil doers and subject them to the severe
punisiiinent tney are inviting.
Not Kntlrely Hatlafled.
The cannerymen and cold itoraire
men are very reticent about speaking of
me price oi o rents uxed by the lisher
men for Chinook salmon during the
season. From what can be learned It
wai the Intention of the cold storage
men 10 open tne inason with o cents but
now It may be necessary to pay a half
cent more to procure the Huh. Several
cannerymen have said that the price
nxen wss too hum to permit the Huh to
be canned with a nrotlt. while others
said that it depended entirely whether
inure was a goixi run oi lien or not. II
there were but few fish the price would
be high, and if there was a larire run
the price will be proportionately de
creased. It was a question that only
the ojiemiig of the season could decide.
Three Kcllpsea In tOOO.
Purine the year 1900 there will be

of the moon. The llrat is a total eclipse
of the sun on May 2Hth and will bo visi

on May 28 will tie a moat interesting
s!ght. It is aome time since we had an
opportunity of witnessing a total eclipse
and no ono should fail to see this one.
Make a note of the date, May 28.
Hens Are Good Advertisers.
There Ii no better advertiser than the
hen. Every time she laya an egg she
announces the fact by a lively cackle
and also works the rooster to assist in
letting the world know that an egg has
been laid. Ai a consequence the good
housewives and children find the nest
and the fresh, nutritious egg satisfies
the appetite of man and keeps him in a
good humor. It il not so with the
goose, which, by the way. ii not so good
layer ai the ben. llila ehort-lcuired
sister, iu a seif-suHivlent sort of a way.
steals out Into the weeds, lays an egg,
and then waddles otf without saying a
word the result Is a nest lull of spoiled
eggs. The gooseon account of her
failure to aavertiso, la very unpopular
aud the tribe la nearly extinct, while
poets sing praises to the hen, and every-
oly is her li lend.
Timber Land Frauds.
Timber land ii in great demand now.
and all aorta of schemes are being re
sorted to to secure tracts of it. Captain
Mathers, special agent of the general
and omee, stationed at Kosehurg, has
list unearthed a timber-land fraud
which promised to be rather an exten
sive one. On his complaint, 11. (i. Mc-
Kinley was arrested recently at Albany
ou a charge ol suiioruation ol perjury in
connection with filing on timber lauds.
Arrangements were made for his trial
which took place in tne united Mates
court. Tho applications to purchase in
connection with this affair were let tor
laat Friday, but aa many of the appli
cants have "squealed," and tho locator
arrested, no applicants showed up to
make final proof. Tho arrest ot Mo-
Kinlev is supposed to be the beginning
of a number of arresta for crimes con
nected with the same deal.

The price of fish during the coining
season waa Hied hy the Columbia Ktvor
Fishermen's Protective Union last week
at a higher figure than has ever before
been established on the Columbia river.
The meeting was the most largoly at
tended than for some time, there being
nearly 260 gillnetters present. The
market situation was discussed at length
and by an almost unanimous vote it waa
decided that the price of Chlnooka to
the cauneriea would bo 6 cent! por
pound, this price to prevail during the
whole season. This means, of course.
66 cents at the cold itorage plants,
which always pay one half-cent more
than the ennnorioa. No action waB
taken regarding the prico of steelheada
or bluehacks. The question of paying
Individual licenses was also thoroughly
discussed and while certain members of
the union expressed a determination
not to take out the licenses and to test
the constitutionality of the law if ar
rested, the union decided to take no
hand in the matter. Othor questions of
importance to the union were acted
upon, but they were not made public
A Horrible Outbreak.
"Of large lores on my little daugh

Unless all signs fail the people of Co
lumhia county are to be .treated to a
touch of high life in politica between
this time and the 4th of June. The
county convention! of all the political
parties In thli county have been held
and complete tickets, compoied of rep
resentative citizens, nominated for the
various olflces. Ai ll usual on such oc
casions there wore more neoole hanker

for them, and of coure, somebody got

It may have been deprecated by the
party leaden on all aidei and of ail
parties, was inevitable.
Now, It Is the average politician's
bounden duty on such occasion to howl
long, loud and mournful. There is uo
exception aa to party. The first scene
of the show la now on ami the act will
be continuous until the voters ring the
curtain down on the 4th of June. Costs
are olT, sleeves rolled up, ready for the
battle royal. It is an unpardonable
oversight and a sad commentary on the
part of the lawmakers that the fact that
so few offices exist, but such a condition
does exist, and it is becoming more and
more apparent as the population of the
county increases.
The sound of tho wrangle from the
ranks of both partica has caused the ears
of the candidates to stand out broad and
high that they may faintly discern the
roar of the breakers in the distance.
The populists and democrats held a
joint convention on Saturday of Inst
week, and since it la ail over and the
ticket nominated vou can't tell one
from the other, only that the democrats
are considerably the "otherest," captur
ing nearly all of the offices. The pops
wanted a combination of forces because
it would increase their chances to win.
The domocraU wanted a combination ot
forces for the same reason.
Of course there will be fun and oceans
of it; an occasional glasa of beer and
a null ol smoke that will obscure the
political wounds, which, like those of a
physical nature, are healed by the great
physician, Time.
Following ia a detailed report of the
deliberations of the republican conven
