IS LOGGERS' HARVEST TIME Heaping the Benefits of Ke publican Prosperity. Confession From A Popnllst Monroe- A Bluer Pill For Populism. Tht conditions which exist In tlit log ging and lumbering camps today are nomewnei 01 a contrast to woatesisteu hare during the splendid drover (Jleve-land-no-tarUf-on-luiiiber time of three years ago, when It wat a losing game to Kiuirapi k operate a logging camp. Jlelow we reprint short paragraph taken from the Oatlilauiet (Jasette, a jlltie lraiuocraiio-t-opuiist paper I "Never before In the history of lutn tiering on the Lower Columbia river has there Been auoh activity in logging ai now. All the camp on the Columbia re operating to their fullest capacity, nd tlie output I unprecedented. The demand for log U o great that they lire (old before reaching water. The price for both spruce and fir i $0 per thousand, while $0.(0 i paid for choice rait. Auout zuuu men are employed In the lower river camps." Ttil condition of affair certainly exist to the extent itated in the clip ping, and we might Imagine the activity to be even of more augmented nature wnen ronuiist win acknowledge It. Logger will readily recall the period Iron lHt3 to 1807, when It wa utterly Impossible to find employment in the camps, because there were o few camp operated, and those which pretended to uo business were forced to conduct it on uch close margin that almost starvation dun were Dald to the few men fortu nate enough to find a place to work. It I not overstepping the bound of truth fulness when we state that $35 per month wa very high wage In the log' sint camp on the Columbia during th period of time to which we have re ferred. The wage paid today for the aame labor i In nearly every case two time a much, and in many Instance even greater than that. Logger are heard every day to ay that the logging business I enjoying greater activity than it did during the good boom time of 1880 to 1800, when the laboring class will recall the great prosperity of the country ana consequent nigu wage lor all kind of labor. Four year ago there were perhaps no more than 200 men cmploved, all told, in the Columbia river fogging camp; today, according to the statement of our Populist eon temporary down the river, there are 2000 men employed. That 1 a partial contrast, at least. The scale of compar ative wage paid I another contrast; the demand for the product of the camps is not hard to contrast; the prevailing price of log I not difficult to contrast with that period, and now our FopulUt brethren have the preposterous temerity to ask you to turn out and vote their ticket, with the absolute assurance to you that the condition of a few year ago will return. You will readily recall to mind the prediction of those nam I'opuliat calamity waller that no hope o( relief from the depressed condition of the last Democratio rule could be had only through the ascendency of Populism. Did their prediction prove trueT Have any of their prediction proven trueT Ala, they were false prophet, a the bum of Republican prosperity ha fully demonstrated. If you nave the least desire to return to those iplendid condition, when your (Cleveland badge wa the most promi nent part of your wearing apparel, when actual begging would not secure for yoa an opportunity to earn the price cf a ack of flour, where everywhere wa stagnation and labor and business par alysis, you can have it all by voting the Populist tickoU If you wish a continu ation of the present profitable, prosper ous condition, you will walk into the voting booth one week from next Mon day and vote a straight Kepubllcan ticket, putting the seal of your diaap- f'roval upon the fanaticism of Populls ic doctrine. Populist know and fully realise that they have no claim to make upon the industry-loving, progressive people of this county, and in conse quence, are realising their hopelea case for success. Their effort are strenously directed to the work of (lipping one or two men into office by gross misrepre sentation of facta, which, a a matter of course, 1 their stock in trade. Tbe birth and existence of Populism wa caused by hard time, brought about by it twin brother, Democracy, and neither can thrive only upon poverty and starvation. Columbia County log ger are not blind to their own Interest, nd will accordingly demonstrate the fact by voting a straight Kepubllcan ticket on June 4th. CIRCUIT COURT MATTERS. lasperlaat Matters Dlipm el Dar lag rreseat Teres. Circuit Court remains in aesaion, with considerable business to be disposed of. On Thursday and Friday of last week the time wa consumed in trying the case of A. H. Ueorge vs. the O.K. St N. Co.. brought to recover damages sus tained to a fish net, caused by one of the Company's steamers running over it. The case was tried before a jury, which brought In verdict for the defendent. Tbe case ol the Btate vs. maniev wane was called last Friday, when defendant l.wl lnn nnlltv and tha trial mraa set for Thursday of this week The Court's time was occupied on fiat' urday in hearing cause of McKay Bros., of Bcappoosa, agalnat the A.

The cue wa appealed to the Supreme Court The equity case of the heirs of the J ease UUIIU estate vs. trie somininrawr was on trial Monday and Tuesday, and was continued for testimony to be taken in Portland. ... The case of John Morgus, of Rainier, nrainst O. Khelton. to recover on a book account, appealed from the Justice Court of Rainier, was tried on Wednes day resulting in favor of the defendant. The divorce suit of Gosa v. Uosa wa lso heard on Wednesday, and Mrs. Uosa was granted a decree and tempor al eara nf the children. the Manley Lane case was railed for trial Thursday forenoon, and when fin ished will very likely end thi term of Court. During tbe past three rears hundreds of million of mortgage debts have been paid off; million of people have pur chased not only all the necessaries of life, but many comparative luxuries, and many millions of money more In excess of the amount in 1800 or 1807, is deposited in savings banks. These re facts that render Mr. Bryan's cam paign very difficult, especially as he persists in advocating a flnaucial policy which would lie detrimental, if not ruinlous, to this prosperity.

Evidence Is Everywhere Present of Prosperous Local Con dltlons. It Is of vital Importance to the people of this County that the entire Kepubll can ticket be elected. The candidates are men who represent principle, and especially is this so with the head of the Uounty ticket, for the reason that he will vote for a Republican United States Senator at the next session of the Legislature. This brings to the front matters of national importance and the platform upon which Republicans stand. There is not one particle of doubt but what Columbia County will pile up a good majority for the republicans next June, in fact, the prosperity all over the United States and Columbia County have induced a number of voters to re turn to the Kepubllcan party, having become tired of Populism. When tbe Kepubllcan party came into power, after four years of Democratic government, it found the country paralved a to Its in dustry, weak in trade and commerce and impoverished in it publie treasury. uusmess conaition were utterly un settled, no less by the operation of a mischievous tariff than by the aesaults of the Democratio party upon the public credit in their reckless financial bills and their threats to redeem in silver certain public securities. Tin i an absolutely true statement of the condi tions prevailing when the Republicans csme into power, and how did the Democratic party propose to remedy them? By the free and unlimited coin age ol silver at 16 to 1. Tbe Republicans on the other bsnd, proposed policy that would open the mills and give em ployment to labor, together with the maintenance of a sound currency. Tbe neoole accepted the Republican policy. and results have splendidly vindicated their judgment. The advent of a Repub lican administration brought with it a revival of industries, an increase of com merce and a demand for labor. It gave confidence to capital and invigorated enterprise. Every assurance the Re publican party gave tne people in tbe last national campaign has been realised so far as relates to the material condi tions of the country. In the three year during which the party has been in power the Industrial and commercial growth of tbe United States has been unprecedented, while the credit of tbe Nation ha been strengthened and Its financial condition immeasurably im proved. Millions of people who, in the period of depreasion under Democratic government, were unable to earn enough to obtain the neceaaanea ol me. nave since had well-paid employment. Cap ital that was idle then is now salely and profitably invested. Every portion of the land is having higher degree of prosperity than it has ever before known. These are facts and conditions which should command the thoughtful attention of every voter in Columbia County. They distinguish the present administration from its predecessors snd make a powerful appeal to National pride and patriotism. Tbe question naturally arises, are we going to con tinue in this state of prosperity or re vert to calamity-howling times of few years ago, and all the attending hard times under a Democratic administra tion? Your votes next June will an swer the Question. Columbia County I people have participated in the general prosperity of the country. Along that line It Is useless to dwell, lor only an snoramua would contend otherwise. The Republicans have nominated a set of competent men for County offices, besides a man Ior .Representative who will vote for United States Senator who stand for a continuance of Repub lican prosperity, industrial activity and contentment. Every one of the candi date should and will he elected. Par tial success for Populism is but encour agement to them to continue their striv ing lor ascendency, ana tne surest way to annihilate them is a complete and thorough turning down at the polls. So long as even one of their number is suc cessful it is interpreted by them aa an approval of their advocated principle, which has no place in the business thrift and activity brought about by Republi can legislation. TOO MUCH PROSPERITY. Pnt Quietus on It by Voting the Populist Ticket. For ' one reason the temptation is sometimes strong to vote the Populist ticket, ibis spasmodic anecuon over comes one when forced to await the slow movements of the passenger steamers between l'ortland and down-river points. Nowadays it is the exception rather than the role when passenger steamers are anywhere near on timo, occasioned by the enormous amount of freight and Sauenger traffic there is to be handled, f course, by voting tbe Populists into power, it would require but very snort time to reduce the freight and passenger traffic of these steamers to minimum, such as did exist here four or five year ago. Un account ot tne very large amount oi wore tne local steamers nave to accomplish they are from one to ten hour behind their schedule time on nearly every trip, and the notion of vot ing the Populists Into power, thus doing away with the business the steamers are doing in order to have them arrive and depart on time, Is overshadowed by tbe assurance that in such case, where would tne two-oi t come irom to pay the fare T After all. those persons who have been contemplating such a rash act would better be patient and travel when opportunity oner, rather than not be able to travel at all, becauao of no funds to travel with. Only three or four years ago the passenger steamers on this river were operated at a loss of cash to their owners, but thanks to Ury no, not to Bryaniam Kepubllcan thrift and prosperity, the steamers come every day loaded almost to the gunwales with freight and passengers. 'Tis better, tar, to be Slow in arriving man to arrive on time at a neavy nnanciai loss. WARREN ITEMS. Will Sheffield i employed at the Clark farm this week.

A profusion of beautiful floral offerings were strewn around the casket, the work of loving hands. The choir discoursed suitable selections at regular intervals of the service, two selections being two of Willard's favorite hymns. He was born in Buffalo County, Nebras ka, and was 22 years old. He leaves father, mother, brother and sister to mourn his death. Death has robbed us of our loved one, And lor nim we sadly mourn ; Hut we know again we'll see him. On the Resurrection morn.

No Change Is Needed In the Conduct of the County School Affair. Trouble is brewing for someone in the csnvass for the superintendency of the County schools. The atmosphere is full of all kinds of erroneous, detrimental rumors regarding the present Superin tendent and his candidacy for re-election. These rumors are not of such a character as to reflect scintilla of credit upon the persons who are respon sible for their authorship, and it is time to offer a litte advice in the shape of a statement of the true facts in the case. It is said that Mr. Copeland is Ineligible to bold the office because he has not had the required amount of teaching experience, according to law. This statement is easily refuted. In the first place Mr. Copeland is a graduate of the Bute Normal school at Monmouth, and upon the certificate Issued from that in stitution he taught school for many months In Willamette Valley Counties. Further than this, Mr. Copeland is also s graduate of the Kentucky University of learning, having taken four years' course there. Further, still, from the day he qualified and entered upon tbe dischsrgo of the duties of his office, be became principal of all the schools of the countv. and the true interpretation of such conditions is that be has been a teacher in the County schools continu ously since that time. Further still, ! Mr. CoDeland has had nearly six months of actual teaching experience in the public schools ot this uounty aunng tne past two years, and if be is not entitled to hold the office of County School Su perintendent under the laws of this State, we do not know who would be. Letters setting forth all kinds of detri mental noints rezardine Mr. Copeland 's candidacy are being sent all over the County, and if they contained an ele ment of truth, such acts wouia orana their author aa beine anything but hon orable. If there was the slightest occa sion for these statements the honorable way would be to make onen statements. giving the opponent an opportunity to defend himself. Mr. Copeland has cer tainly made a good Superintendent, and by his election the people will be as sured of progress in our school work. As to the opponent of Mr. Copeland, she cannot serve in the capacity of School Superintendent, under the laws of this State, even though she were elected. As proof of this 'statement we reproduce the third paragraph of section 2, of the "Provisions of the Constitution of Oregon Relating to Elections," found on page 4 of the Election Laws of Ore gon: "Women InituorBL to Hold Or rics. An act of the Legislative assembly of 1893 (Laws, 1893, page 62) making women eligible to educational offices, is unconstitutional as applied to tbe office of Superintendent of Schools. Only male citizens are electors and eligible to County offices within the meaning of Article VI, Section , ana Article 11, Section 2, State Constitution." Hence, according to the laws of this State, if Mr. Cooeland is defeated in the election, he will continue to be County School Superintendent for an other term, aa he wa elected two years ago for a two year' term, or until his successor be elected and qualified, and as a woman cannot qualify for County offices, bis successor would not have been elected and qualified.
