Burglar are playing high jink at
different point in the County. At
flcanpooae on Thuriday night of laat
week Watt 4 Price' store wa entered
and a number of article, besidr- about
(16 in cash wa taken. At Rainier on
Monday night John Morgua' store waa
burglarized to the extent of about (100,
principally ahoea. Bo far no clue to the
perpetrator haa been found.
The public chool of this ity obaorved
Memorial Day by attending in a body,
the decoration ol the grave of Mr. John
uuinni, at the Germany Hill Cemetery.
Mr. Uuiutn, at hi death, left an endow
ment of several hundred dollars to tht
achool, and the kindly remenibrace by
the achool children wa but a fit token
of respect. The grave of a number of
veteran toldlera were also decorated.
The city council of fit. Helen ha
very wialy lft a contract to have the
atreet Improved, and the work ha
already started. Al Robinson, Mitchell'
Kay and Jack McKio took tlie contract
to put crushed rock on 1400 feet of the
main streets, from ltart& aluckle' atore
to the new Mathodiat church. The
ccntract price i 78 cents per yard. The
alack i to be placed on the itreet to a
width of eight feet, W inches deep in
the center and tapering to (2) inches on
the edges, and when the work i com
pleted we believe it will be taating. It
will be a great improvement and will
add very materially, to the appearance
of tho city and pleasure of the citisens
and viator. The property owner could
well afford to have the material placed
, from the ilduwalk'( edge to join
the work already done.
It doe eera itrange that If Dave Davl
i o exhorbitant In hi charge (or print
ing that aherUr Rice would occasionally
patronise thia ortioe with his order for
atatjonery. Of course, Sheriff Rice
know he ha to pay no more Wire than
any place elae, and when the order it
left it will be quickly and neatly execu
ted. So far ae Mitchell duplicating our
work at lea cost i concerned, he could
not duplicate anything unles It were a
mud fence. The work he turn out of
hi office ia a disgrace to the art and
would make the bonea of the founder
Gutenberg, rattle in their grave to know
that their owner' art had gotten into
auch bad hand. Of course fourth-claa
work can be done at fourth-claa price,
but business men prefer to have stat
ionary which would not diagraee them
and tneir business.

We heartily invite the suffrage of the

To tux Eorroa or Tux Mist: Will
you please publish ,fn your valuable
paper the enclosed communication?
think it onlr fair the voters of the
County should know the true facts
I wiah the voter of thi County to
know what sort of a person is he who
asks their votes for him a County Com
inisaioner on the Populist ticket, and if
you will kindly allow space in your
Highly-valued paper lor this letter 1
think they will change their views
somewhat.
Mr. Peterson wa the leader of a
party who had a small portion of the
road district cut off (or hi own benefit,
in order to have less road work to do.
Now. thi ia not lust exactly what a
good citizen should do especially if he
intend to ask the people' vote for
some County Office. But that Is only
nurnner one. xne gentleman in ques
tion piaved auite a nice little trick to
get another piece of land close to the
one he already had. It was not just in
accordance with the law to do this, so in
order to beat tbe law be made a sham
sale to his brother-in-law and then filed
on the land he wanted pre-emption.
Alter proving no, he took ins tormer
land back, as he intended to do from the
tart.
Now. candidly, voters, u this the
kind of men you want to fill your public
ottlcesr As far as i am concerned i
don't think s man who would play
trick like the above mentioned would
make a very good County Commissioner.

A Holatetn Herd.

herd of Uolstein-Friesian cattle, owaf

splendid shape. The youngster wa
Bired by Manor UoKol, no. 21,220 tl. m.
H. B. Hi grand dam is Nutherland
Hengeroeld, with a butter record on
official test by tbe Cornwall University,
of New York, of 28.08 pound of butter
in teven days, being the largest official
butter record ever made by any cow of
any breed. Hie great grand dam is De
Kol 2nd, having the next highest offi
cial butter record, being 26.57 pounds of
butter in seven days, the average milk
per day being 77 pound for seven days.
His dam haa an official milk record of
318 pounds in seven days, and butter,
UK pounds at two years old, and hi
pedigree could be extended for ten gen
eration, and would be about the same.
Thi i Mr. Frillies' second bull from
that herd in the lRst twelve months.
He now ha two of the best Holstein
bull in the West. The calf cost Mr.
F rakes (110.45 delivered at Scapnoose,
making good stock pretty high, but as
the dairy business will not pay unless
good cow are had, the only way to get
them ia to raise them. - With Columbia
County having the best grass land in
the State, there if no reason why good
stock will not pay. Mr. Frakcs' herd
number 76 head, being all black and
white.

t Ananias wa the greatest liar of which
History or scripture give ny account,
but there are others deserving of tbe
same renown. So far a Mitchell ia
concerned he ia to be pitted rather than

quite difficult to combat. Last week

struts the degree of regard Mitchell haa
for the truth. For printing the tax list
oi ITO1BI mist received from (Jolum
bia County a warrant for (173. The
Mist printed the tax list of 1808, but
Columbia County did not pay it one
cent. While in the last eight year The
Mist ha received (173 from Columbia
County for printing tax lists, the New
na received fiw.w. It received In
1800. (148: in 1897. (114.10: in 1808.
(378.55; in 1809, (119.75. Aa to thi
latter amount Mitchell also stated
that he did the work for 175. when, in
reality, he told a (44.76 lie, as the regis
ter warrant in the County Clerk's office
reauat "eept.o. mm. K. 11. Mitchell.

cash for Mitchell if he can find a stroke
of a pen upon the County records that
wouiu disprove any statement made
here. Mitchell wilt not search the rec
ords, because there fact are demon
strated, and that is a commodity in
which he is not deal ng. He is a gen
uine Populist, thriving on misrepresen
tation and feasting on falsehood. Blind,
tnrougn oesire, to tne trutn, and natur
ally downright hypocritical, mingled
with a good dear of cussedness and a
whole lot of hcllery.

gained through six years of experience,
to do better and more thorough work in
that capacity in the future. The -
esaed valuation of all property in this
County has gradually Increased during
tne last six years, or since Mr. v rate
has been assessor, from a few hundred
thousand dollars to a million and half
dollars, not altogether because Mr.
White is tbe Assessor, but very largely
to tne i act tnat ne naa made a deter
mined effort to get every particle of
property on the assessment roll that
should, through justice, be there. His
record for six years past ha already
spoken so very highly for him that what
we mignt say would be but ft reflex of
what all voters know and proclaim.
When you vote for White yon vote for a
just and equitable assessment of all
