The new logging road that is being built by tlie ltensoii Company to tap the Salmon creek district lias had the effect of raising the price of timber in that section. Claims are now finding a ready sale at eaeh and the price of stumpage has gone up to 60 cents per thousand feet. Astoria Kudget. H. O.

Hi inn, who are establishing a general nivrchau diss business at lluulton,. were in Port- land Monday purchasing their stock of roods. The linn will be known as Jiailey A ilriun, and they will endeavor to carry such goods iu stock as will meet the demand of the people iu the vi cinity in which they will do business. Their place of business will be open to the public iu a few days. Mr. CI. W. SUIller. of Qitincy, was in town Monday and Tuesday. Mr. mat tier is employed this year in Mcuson's longing camp, at Htclla, where he says 250,000 feet are put in every day. An Immense force of men is employed, and the season's output will lie enormous. Mr. Btat tier says that modern methods of logging makes tlie work much easier on the men, and tlie scale of wages paid exceeds that of any previous year. The following from an exchange ap plies with equal force to almost every community : "The trouble with some people in towns about the size of ours. Is that they will not cast their bread upon the waters unless they are assured in advance that In a few day it will come back to them a full-grown sand wich, all trimmed with ham and mus tard and rolled In a warranty deed for one-half the earth and a mortgage on the other half." Considerable railroad excitement 1 on just now at Uoble. Home persons say the railroad from Uoble to Kehaloni will not be built because the route is impracticable on account of heavy (trades, yet with modern engineering science there seems to le no obstacle too great to overcome, and if the projectors really want to build a railroad through that particular section of country tlie grade will cut very little figure. When money and determination start out to accomplish a thing it will come very Hour succeeding. The firm of Anton A Kills of Rainier, has been dissolved, Mr. Anton retiring. The firm will lierenfu-r be known as M. Ellis & Co., Mr. M. Morlrious having purchased an interest in the business. Mr. Ellis mailed us an order this week for 8000 impression of commercial job printing, bill heads, statements, letter heads and note heads. Tho linn has just received a new and large stock of millinery, dresses, shoes, laces, ribbons, bats, in fact, a complete stock of ladies' summer goods, besides a large stock of gouts' furnishings, which is being sold at reasonable prices. Rev. Mr. McLachlin returned to this city last Friday after an absence of sev eral weeks. Mr. McLachlin was de tained from his labors here tin account of having assigned to him the work of preparing for the annual camp meeting of his church at Cunby this summer. Immediately upon his return here he took oiiarge of tho work of building the church edifice, the material for which was put on the ground during his ab sence. Work on the building will be pushed along steadily until it is com pleted. The laying of the corner stone of the church wbs conducted with appro priate exercises Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, It is surprising what little value the people of the Pacific coast sot upon their forest of valuable timber. If they don't wake up to the situation, it will be but a matter of a short time until all of the available timber in tho state will be in the hands of liaBtern men. In the noar future the value of the timber now in many cases being destroyed to get the land clear, will be many times the value of the land. Should this tote of affairs continue until all the land is "coppered" and tho holdors thereof begin to set their own price upon It, perhaps the people who have the most right to enjoy tho natural re source of this country will begin to realize where thoy got left.

The Tillamook Headlight says : Rail road gossip, iu fact, any old thing of a railroad rumor, is freely discussed, and this is how we site them up: Pro- l'ro-cras- Procrasti- Procrastina- Procrasti nation. We're now ready to discuss railroad gossip once more. Next, please." Mr. J. R. Thomas, of Auburn precinct, was in town Wednesday evening. Mr. Thomas is one of those black republi cans, and he states that if Auburn pre cinct does not go republican on the 4th of June it will be so distressingly close as to cause the other fellows some alarm. Kvery printing office baa a devil, a hell box, a chased form, embraces with out number, daggers, lock-ups and gal leys, its forms are made up, its furniture is made out of lead, it has coins but no money, makes many impressions, has sticks and imposing stones, rollers and moulds, and no end to funny things. But they're all essential to the business. Calamity howlers in Tillamook county have had their wind shut off by the fact that dairymen are receiving unusually high prices for butter fat and ail kinds of cattle fetch figure away up. Iu fact, dairvmen in this county never partici pated in better tiuies. And for that reason they will vote the Republican ticket for a continuance of prosperity. Tillamook Headlight. We wish to impress especially upon the Republican voters of this county the importance of their compliance with the registration law. No Republican should bo so lax in his duty to himself and to hia party as to deny himself the right of franchise at tlie polls next June. This Is tlie only thing which will admit of any Republican candidate being defeated, and the election of the entire ticket means a solid front and successful campaign in tlie coming momentous presidential contest. Mr. Frank Brown was- up from his logging camp on Coweeman last Tues day. Mr. lirown states that it is quite diAlcut for the logger to keep a crew of men owing to the great demand for laborer and the exceedingly high rate of wages offered to men for all classes of work. It is a very common saying that logger now have two crew of men, one In the woods and the other on tlie road. Kmploye are the independent class now, instead of the employers, and the only way to keep men Is to pet them considerably. The sternwheel steamer City of Eu gene was sold by United States Marshal Tiouser at Portland last week to satisfy a large aggregation of claims against her. B. F Cauley, Tom Nordby and Ole Olson were the purchasers snd the price paid was 1,500. Claims aggrega ting over $4,000 were lodged against the boat. They were for labor performed, material furnished, etc.,. and ranged from a few cants each to as high as (000 and over. Tlie craft has been tied up since February, awaiting a settlement of the suit. Our town has had many visitor thi week, who were attending the annual meeting of the Congregational Minister ial Association. The session lasted two days, evening sessions also being held. A most interesting and Instructive pro gramme was carried out, tho most prominent ministers in this state being present and taking part in the discus sions. On Wednesday a publio dinner was served at the church, which was at tended and enjoyed by nearly the entire population. Each and every one of the visitor was welcome to our midst, and it Is the expressed hope of the residents that the meeting was as groatly enjoyed and beneficial to tho visitors a it was to the people of Ht. Helens. The officers of Ava temple of Rath bono Sisters of thi city, accompanied bv a number of Knights, went to Rain ier Wednosday evening to assist the Grand Chief in tho institution of a tem ple in that city.

An important decision resDectin the relative rights of fishermen and navi gators was handed down in the Circuit Court here last Saturday by Judge Mc- i.ruin, m overruling a demurrer to a suit brought by Arthur George v. the O. R. A N. Co. The suit wa to recover damages alleged to be due from steam ers o( the O.K. A N. Co. destroying a gill net belonging to the plaintiff. In his opinion. Judge McBride say he be lieves mo rignt oi nailing i subordinate to the right of navigation, and a vessel in her ordinary channel, cannot mater ially delay tier vovaue. even to the In jury of a net, It being the fisherman's duty to keen his net out of the ordinary channels.

If these charge be sustained, Judge McBride said the plaintiff would be entitled to recover. More Logging Camp. Logging camps along the Columbia are more numerous and of greater ca pacity than ever before, aad still the output is not sufficient to supply the demand of the mills here, which are now more numerous than ever before. It is therefore necessary that more lon ging camps should be started, and a cor- IHjrnuim nan ueeu lurmeu in una cuy, unoer me name oi tne Deep Kiver Lag ging Company, which has acquired an option on a large tract of timber land on Deep river, a stream coming into the ixiiumoia irotn tlio Washington side somewhere in the vicinity of Knanoton. and the probability is that a thoroughly equipped camp will be started there ueiore long. Three miles of railroad will have to be built to ret the loirs out to water, where they can be made Into rafts, but thi Is not much of an under taking fur logger now, a most logging camps have railroads several miles in length connected with them, Oregon- Back from Kansas.
