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.

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.

tained to a fish net, caused by one of the
Company's steamers running over it.
The case was tried before a jury, which

The divorce suit of Gosa v. Uosa wa

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.

REPUBLICANS AND PROGRESS
The Former A Synonym of
uood Times.
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.

,LL I
STRICTLY ONK PRICK TO ALL
A LIBERAL BID FOR TROUBLE
Unfounded Statements Are
Being Circulated.
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.
