It is certainly an expemive laxnrr
for Colombia County to pay an offi
cial 125 a month to manage the Popu
list campaigns in the County. Such is
the case, nevertheless.
Each and every candidate on the Re
publican County ticket of this County
18 well and thoroughly qualified for the
office for which they are respectively
nominated. There is pot a single thing
which cau be said against the good qual
ifications of either one for the office for
which tbey are named. If any Repub
lican shall step aside to vote against his
party candidate at this election he will
certainly do so without any just cause,
and for "the purpose of working against
his political principles, and to give as
sistance to calamity, foreboding, rag
inoney ideas, depreciated currency, anti
expansion and against all practical
ideas of progression and prosperity.
Populist Campaign Manages Jambs
Rice told at Scappoose last Sunday that
H. M. Fowler was not qualified to fill
the Sheriffs office. Now, if Jimmie
will stand up and explain to the people
what qualifications he ever did possess
or now posesee for the conduct of the
business of that office he will be ex-
Blaining something that no person in
olumbia County hag ever been able to
discover. Even if such a statement
were anywhere near the truth, pot
should not call kettle black. Mr. Fow
ler is well-qualified in every way to con
duct the affairs of the office to which he
aspires, and if elected will make a cred
itable record for himself. '
Wellington M. Pjsbby, of Rainier,
Oregon, Columbia County, a man who
has been before every Republican con
vention held in this County for the past
twelve years, seeking office, has at last
dispaired and crawled in bed, breeches
and all, with the Populists. Perry says,
in a iong drawn-out article in a Populist
paper : O," for a Grover Cleveland for
an hour!" It's certainly too bad that
Perry couldu't have a Grover Cleveland
for a lifetime. We remember very dis
tinctly when we all had a Grover Cleve
land four years, and we also remember
that about all that Perry had during
that time was a bare well, the bosom
of his pants was so darned thin that
they wouldn't protect his person from
jlie sea breezes.
The Mist feels that anything it might
fay in regard to the candidacy of J. G.
"Watts for re-election to the office of
County Clerk would add nothing to the
knowledge of the voters or the strength
of his candidacy. He is too well known
to every man, woman and child in Co
lumbia Comity to require any eulogy at
our hands. "Having been identified
with the County's interests and progress
fqr the last fifteen years, his name has
become a household word and is a syno
nym for honesty and uprightness. Mr.
Watts has always taken an active in
terest in the political welfare of his
County and has sacrificed time and
money in the furtherance of his politi
cal views. His re-election to the office
of County Clerk will be a well-merited
recognition for the business-like manner
in which he has conducted the affairs of
the office during two years past, and at
the came time assuring the people of a
continuance of business methods in
that office jn the future.
PLAlS FACTS.
It must not be overlooked that a vote
for Norman Merrill for the Legislature
is a vow for our fellow cttisen, Senator
G. W. Mc Bride, for re-election to the
United States Senate. It is an houor
and Hhould be so rwvguUod and appre
ciated by our people, that Columbia
Coudty "is represented in the highest
law-making body in the land, especially
by one so able, industrious, patriotic
and loyal as is Senator McBride. His
vote has alwavs been cast on the proper
side of every National question since he
has bi en a member of that body and
bis retention there is the assurance of a
continuation of actions which have
marked his doings so creditable and
honorable. He can be asuisted in his
efforts for re-election by no other
means but by the citlrcns of this County
voting for the Republican nominee for
the Legislature, Gorman Merrill. Mr.
Merrill a opponent could not if he would,
nor would it he could, be of any assist
ance to Mr. McBride. Laying aside
this matter altogether, this is a Repulv
lican Conutv, and should be represented
in the State Legislature by a Republi
can, who conld assist other Republican
members of that bodv iu leaislating in
the interest of the State's fast-growing
commercial importance. It is an indis
putable fact that Populism and Demo
cracy would oppose good measures just
tor the sake t oemg against Kepuim-
cans. Columbia county does not want
her wheels of progress locked by Populist
obstinacy, and the way to insure against
such a calamity ia to vote the Republi
can ticket from top to bottom.
Tils only reason whv Populiata have
been able to till some of the public
offices of Columbia County during the
last several years, is because Republi
cans have been induced to vote for them.
In Presidential eleetioua and on state
officers the County is easily carvied for
Republicans by from W0 to 250 votes.
Whether the "consideration which in
duces Republicans to abandon their
party candidate and vote, for the opposi
tion, is for favor or otherwise, they
should consider well the result before
voting. When the County offices are
occupied by Populists they are in a
position to exert a very great influence
and effect in battling" against Republi
can success in the election of President
and State officers. During the last
Presidential campaign some Couuty
officers of this County made strenous
efforts to throw obstacles in the way of
Republicans in conducting the usual
routine campaign work. We mention
this only to show Republicans that they
make serious blunders against the suc
cuss of National and State election when
they step out of the path of rectitude to
help opposing candidates to office.
Habvet Fowlkr was born and raised
in Columbia County. The peop!e have
known him from his boyhood, and they
appreciate his sterling manhood and the
honorable and conscientious motives by
which he is actuated in his daily walk
in life. They know that if elected
Sheriff of this County, he would faith
fully perform the duties which belong
to that office. They know that every
dollar of County money coming into bis
hands through the various channels of
revenue would be honestly accounted
for. They know that in his official ca
pacity be would treat all citizens of the
County exactly the same, and that there
would be so favoritism shown to any
persona or any locality. For these
reasons, and a great many more which
conld be eiven, Mr. Fowler will be
elected Sheriff of Columbia County
next Monday.
Regarding the prosperity now preva
lent in the West, a paper from the in
terior of Nebraska says: "With tbe
price of steers ranging at from $4 60 to 5
in Omaha, hogs near tbe $5.50 mark,
corn near tbe 30 mark at home, and the
country tnll of money, it doesn't look as
though" tbe Presidential campaign is
going to materially affect prosperity, at
least, not in the agricultural belt. Four
years ago hogs sold for $2.80 in Stanton,
while good corn commanded but 14
cents. Oats, rye and barley show the
same wide difference in price. Butter
is worth nearly double what it was then.
The same is true of everything the far
mer has to sell, with' the exception of
wheat, and even that is several cents
higher now than then."
Some time ago through the solicita
tion of the Sheriffs office, the County
Court purchased a typewriter for use in
that office, for which $100 was paid.
Now, it haa been a question ail the time
since what use was to be made of that
typewriter. It cannot be used for mak
ing out tax receipts, and there are no
long lists of reports, such as Court pro
ceedings or anything of that nature to
be made out by the Sheriff, and if a letter
was to be written, there is a first-class
typewriter in the Court House. But
since the campaign has started the
typewriter bas been quite busy writing
campaign letters, hence the real demand
for the machine is at last explained.
Evebt State in the Union holding a j
Republican Convention, has endorsed
the administration and instructed its
delegates to vote for the re-nomination
of William McKinley for President.
Not all of the States holding Democratic
Conventions have instructed their dele
gates to vote for Bryan's nomination.
Still, the Demo-pops declare that Bryan
is the peoples' choice. The Democrats
are warm friends of the people, to hear
them tell it, but their pact record dis
proves it. McKinley will be re-nominated
and re-elected". Plenty of work,
good times and good wages will not be
voted down by the people.
The News ia mad at Ben Cornelius,
the Republican candidate for Joint
Senator, because that gentleman came
down to Columbia County and let
Mitchell's past political record out of
the bag. In a Republican Convention
held in Washington County one time,
Mitchell wanted Mr. Cornelius to nomi
nate him for School Superintendent and
the latter wonld not comply with the
request. So it's plain, that' Mitch bas
no fixed principle. He's an everything
and finally a nothing. That's right,
Mitchi When you can't get favors from
the Republicans, crawl iu bed with tbe
Populists.
Whes we compare the business of the
United States with foreign Nations
during the preceding administration,
when the balance of trade waa running
against us; so was money, interest, all
kinds of trade and commerce, as well as
having a mighty panic on hand, what a
great and wonderful contrast compared
with the laBt two years of the present
administration in which "our sales ex
ceeded our purchases by over one billion
of dollars." .TuBt think what a vast
sum and great gain under proper busi
ness methods and under the care of a
progressive party.
Now, Just one word for the Treasurer.
That official was elected two years ago
by a very handsome majority, no larger,
however, than he justly deserved. He
bas creditably, honorably and conscien
tiously conducted the affairs of that J their own crowd in switching and swap
otfioe during his term, and should and ping and knifing for the success of one
will be re-elected. To eulogize him is lor two men, on the ticket. Yes, we
unnecessary. His private and political I plead guiitv to the charge, and confess
career is recommendation sufficient. (our Republicanism.
CAMPAIGN LIAR.
Voters must be prepared for the fep
tive campaigiu liar from now until
Monday night. Populists have no other
argument to present, and will resort to
anvthing. They fully realise their utter
helpless condition as a party to be of
any benefit to the country in a business
way, or otherwise, and as their whole
existence ha Iwen a falsehood, a mis
representation from its inception, the
Mine policy will tie persued with greater
vehemence now than ever, because of
their inability to meet the arguments of
the Republicans on the issue now so
iiroiuinent. Personal attacks of individ
uals is the only means by which a spark
of hone of success is entertained hv
them, and anv degrading thing will be
readily resorted to. Republicans have
conducted a clean, arguuienttve cam
iiaiiin. free from personal abuse and
black-mailing, while throughout the
Comity there have been all aorta of
misrepresentations made, calculated to
injure the Kcputmcaiia.
Wites a certain Republican asked
Mitchell whv he said T. 0. Watts would
be the Deputv Sheriff if Mr. Fowler was
elected, Mitch replied; "we don't te-
ueve it. out say so merely to tmve pome-
thing to talk about." Anything for
meanness, we presume.
Yes, Dave Davis wants the entire
Republican ticket in Columbia County
elected. Not so with Mitchell, of the
News, with his party candidates. He
wants jtiHt one of them elected in order
to keep his little Populist-agitating rag
alive. Principle, no; he doesn't care
for principle.
No Republican can atfoid to scratch
his Legislative ticket this year. Vote
for the men who will stand for sound
mouey, expansion and prosperity. Re
member that there is a United States
Senator to elect, and that it ia necessary
to the future business weliare of our
State that a Republican be elected.
A Late arrival from Indiana says that
state is certain for , McKinley. lie re
ports prosperous conditions throughout
the middle west. Times are certainly
better than they were when Bryan, ou
the floor of Congress, voted to destroy
many of our industries. The people
have" not forgotten Bryan' position
when he had a vote.
HJutToroB in all campaigns in Co
lumbia County Populists have had cam
paign orators in great abundance, but
this vear that contingent is remarkably
conspicuous by its absence. It's a cam
paign of darkness witn t'opuusm, tor
lieht-snread upon their isms ia like ravs
of sunshine on clouds of fog. In fact.
Populism is, always has been, a fog, a
fancy.
Am eastern man, who has lived a
number of rears in a city where there
are a number of factories and haa been
very much annoyed by the smoke and
soot settling in and about his house, has
invented a scheme that will settle the
smoke qoestion in all manufacturing
cities. He says elect Brvan President
of the United States and the smoke wilt
stop. -
There is no earthly excuse for letting
the Fusion isu elect a part of the County
ticket, as bas often been done in past
years, when the Republicans have a
safe majority in the County over all the
opposition combined. The Republicans
have it in their power to elect every
officer from Joint Senator to Constable,
and this will be done if the Republican
voter stand by their ticket.
While Mitch, of the es, delights
in condemning The Mist, lie could not
run bis little 2x4 without the aid of
this office. He borrows our type, be
borrows job stock from us and makes
other uses of our material, stock, etc.
Mitch says it's handy for him to have a
well-equipped, ti rat-class office in the
same town, mnd really does not know
bow be could get along without us.
JrsT bear in mind when von are
about to mark yonr ballot next Monday
that Populist Legislators are not in the
habit ot voting for Republican United
States Senators. If Columbia County
desires to be longer represented in the
united b tales senate Dv one ot ner own
citizens tbe only way to insure such a
thing is to vote for a ReDublican Repre.
tentative. Norman Merrill is that man
in Columbia County.
It would naturally eem no more than
proper that the man who represents a
County in the state legislature snoui't
be a tax-paying citirens to some consid
erable extent. On thf assessment roll
of 1899 we find that Norman Merrill is
asesned at $3,360, while his opponent,
Mr. Slaughter, is not individually se
at all. We do find, however, that a tract
land ii assessed to Mavgar and blauglv
ter for 415,
Popuusts and Fusiontsta in this
County refuse, absolutely. US discuss
political issues. Tbey seem fully to
realize their utter helpless and hopeless
condition, but displaying a degree of
wisdom, at least, in sealing their lips to
what bas heretofore characterized them
as howling calamityitea. They have no
purpose, no place in the business world,
and are surprisingly smart enough to
not born their fingers.
0 course, the hot shot The Mist has
been throwing into them for the last
two or three weeks makes them pretty
mad. It's the truth, and truth hurts.
Populism, of course, has discredited
itself, and Populists do not know
whether to get mad at us or themselves
forever being so foolish as to be Populists.
But we bave only been pointing out a
few cases of the defect of Populism;
there are many more which we have
failed to mention.
Hattait is between the Devil and the
deep sea. If elected Sheriff be wants to
shake Jim Rice, but he can't do it.
Hattan knows be will lose a great many
Populist votes if it is known that be ,is
to retain Kice as his deputy, bat Rice is
managing the Populist campaign on the
$125 a month salary paid him by Col
umbia County to run the Sheriff's office,
which he bas never been able to do. Of
course Hattan will be compelled to keep
Rice as his deputy in case he is elected.
Yes, this is a quiet campaign. People
are too busy, too extensively engaged
and too much absorbed in taking care
of their business, tbe volume of which,
by the -way, is daily increasing, to de
vote their time to politics. The quiet
ness, as a matter of fact, is due solely to
the absence of calamity. As has oft
been said, "Populism thrives on poverty
and stagnation. Tbe absence of both
those conditions renders Populism a
stalking ghost, a forlorn hope.
The Populist paper condemns Dave
Davis because be advocates tbe flec
tion of the entire Republican ticket.
Good ; heap on your abuse. Wa'll
say in regard to the matter that Re
publicans nominate their candidates
to be elected, while Populists nominate
candidates purposely to lie defeated by
SHEEP VALUES IN OREOON,
Remarkable Increase In Number and
Value the Past Koar "ear,
The farmers of Oregon are about to
write tile opening page in the historv of
the political campaign of 1U0O. Next
week occurs the election at which State
officers and two Representatives in
Congress are to be chosen. Two years
ago Oregon set the pace with a Repub
lican plurality of over 10,500, Tbe con
ditions brought about by the return of
prosperity through the triumph of Re
publican principles and policies caused
an increase of some 8,000 vote over the
plurality in the Presidential election of
mm, and Oregon was taken out of the
list oi doubtful states.
Next week Oregon sounds the first
note in the campaign of 1900. There i
much reason to anticipate a result aseti-
cuuragiiig aim as vntuaoie to tne cause
of good government and sound legisla
tion as was the result ot the state and
Coiigresainional elections of June, 18!8.
Oregon's agricultural voters have abun
dant cause for confirming the verdict of
two years ago. Something like 3,600,000
sheep are owned iu thin state. In WW,
according to the government reports,
Oregon's flocks numbered B.tUHI.Wtt, and
the average value per head waa $1,S.
It ia interesting to note the changes in
the sheep raixing situation in Oregon
that have oceured since the free wool of
the Democratic free trade tariff of 18!4
gave place to the protected wool of the
Dingley tariff of SSOT.
In response to inquiries sent out by
The American Protective Tariff League,
iu connection with its sheep census, 67
report are at baud from t"u State of
Oregon. These inquiries are in sub
stance, as follows:
1 Number of sheep Owned in March,
18SW, (free wool period) and average
value per head?
2 Number of sheep owned in March,
1P00 iDingley Protective Tariff period).

sheep for the whole state, the increase
in value for 1900, as compared with the
Democratic free wool year of 1896, is up

At this rate of gain, how long will It
be, under the encouraging stimulus of a

Nothing of the Kind.
In the editorial columns of Monday's
Oregonian appeared the following mat
ter:
"This from the Columbia County
News, illustrates the style of campaign
the ."ditclittl-ilclinde machine Is wag
ing: " 'Republican friends of Senator Mc
Bride: A vote for Cornelius will be
vote against McBride, who would do
your cause more harm than conld a
Ilemocrat, because Cornelius, if elected,
would have a voice in the Republican
nominating caucus. - Remember that in
Oregon the man receiving the nomina
tion in his caucus, receives his full
party vote in the Legislature. Vote for
Sweek.'
"The News professes to be a Demo
cratic journal; and it falls in readily
with the bushwhacking tactics of Co
lumbia County's lavonte son. But how
about the alternative it offer? Has
Judge Sweek promised te vote for Mc
Bride?"
There is not a scintilla of troth in any
statement in either paragraph within
these quotation marks. Senator Mc
Bride lias a no more bitter enetov in
Columbia County than the editor of the
News, who does not care todixplay his
enmity, however, because he knows it
l unpopular here, hut anything he
could do to injure Senator McBride he
would gladly stoop to do it. Senator
McBride's Republican friends in this
County will vote for Mr. Cornelius and
not fur Mr. Sweek, and when tbe Ore
Konian judges Columbia County Repub
licans by tbe rotten, little Populist rag
of this place, it is reckoning without its
host. The villainous old hulk who
steers its course would leave no stone
unturned to defeat Senator McBride or
any other Repnblican. The Republi
can of Columbia County will support
Mr. Cornelius, notwithstanding the
utterances of R. II. Mitchell.
Evt.bythino tended to disaster during
the laut Democratic administration, and
since then everything has moved in the
direction of prosperity. If this is "mere,
coincidence," vote for the coincidence.

It is with heart-felt sympathy sml
sorrow that we are called upon to chron

passed to the Bevond, the home of the
Redeemed May" 23d, at 11:36 a. m.
During all of her sIcknvDS abe was
alwavs very patient and uncomplaining.
She longed to be with her Savior whom
she loved and trusted. When only a
child of nine years she gave her heart
to God and ha always striven to follow
in the steps of Jesus, When in health
she was found in the Sunday school and
church doing what she could. The
death of Mia. Richardson has cast a
gloom over the entire community, but
her lost will be felt most in her fiome.
She leaves a devoted husband and four
children: John Richardson, of Cali
fornia; Thomas Richardson and Mrs.
W. J. Muckln, ot Rainier, and Mrs. 0.
II. John, of St. Helens ; a loved sister
who was her constant sttendent during
her long illness, and seven grandchild

years previous to her death ; also letters
to husband and children, sister and
friend, all showing her faith in God,
and leaving good words ol advice.

up. and the calf at least 110 more.
Less than a decade has passed since
wool went "wool jrathering" t 8 cent
per i-otind on the range, while next
year's crop is now being contracted by
the big buyer at 20 cent on the ranch ;
while your sheep, which wandered aim
less I r over the cactus plains and sage
brush nnts, could nna no nuyer at si.au
and $2.00, whereas, now, anything with
wool on its back is being searched for
with great diligence at from $2.50 to
$4 each.
Yes. and not to overlook the Ameri
can hog. Years ago he squealed for
takers at $2.75 per cwt., while now $4.76
and $5 ia paid without the squeal being
thrown In at all.
I it anv wonder, my friends, when
you look at the fact squarely iu the
face, that the live stock industry of the
United States Is to be found harnessed
to the chariot of progress? John G."

Live Stock Association, at tbe Fort

Henry Larson attended to business in
St. Helen one day last week.
Eli Lynch and family spent last Sun
day with relatives at Scappoose.
Miss Lillian Larson has been confined
to her home fur the past ten days with
tne mump.
Work on the new proposed Evangell
cal church has at last been started. We
hope to see it finished soon.
Quite a crowd from thi place went to
Scappoose last Monday and were ini
tiated in the Artisan lodge at that place,
The funeral of Mrs. Mayhugh, of
Bachelor Flat, was held at the Odd Fel
low, cemetery, near Warren, Iat Mon
day. Quite a number attended from
this place.
Mrs. D. C. Allard left last Tuesday
morning for her borne at Independence,
Or., where she will visit with her
mother for a month. Mr. Allard ac
companied ber to Portland.
Mrs. Thoa. Sabinstor, who had been
spending a few days in Portland last
week with friends, returned home last
Monday evening. Miss Margaret, who
accompanied her mother, visited until
Thursday.
A meeting of tbe school director was
called last Monday forenoon for tbe pur
pose of engaging a teacher tor tne next
term. Prof. D. C. Allard was sgain en
gaged to teach a three-month's torm to
begin some time in September.
Preaching service will be held at the
home of Henry Larson every two weeks
hereafter. Rev. fiallantyne will hold
services again morning and evening
June 10th. Owing to the stormy
weather last Sunday, but very few were
in attendance.
Prof. D. C. Allard fulfilled his promi
ses to tbe people of Warren by giving
them one of the best entertainments
ever given at this place. The room was
tastily decorated with flowers and bunt
ing. The ladies also fulfilled their
promises in regard to the lunch given at
the noon hour, and which a great many
enjoyed. In the evening tbe school
house was packed, in fact, so much so
that quite a number could not gain ad
mittance. The vocal selection by Misses
Maude and Lena Wilson and Katie
Baker was very clever, also the recita
tion by Clyde Grewell was good. The
vocal selection by Mrs. F. M. Hoyt was
rendered in such a manner that she re
ceived a hearty round of applause.
"Box and Cox," very funny farce,
kept the Urge audience in a continuous
roar from the beginning to the end.
I Strawberries and cream were served nt
' the conclusion of tbe programme.
