Koad Supervisor Plank be I loves the work of improving Willamette street to the city limit and the opening of the donated Connty road from that point w connect with the Soappooae road can be cheaply done and uiado to be a de cided improvement. Mr. (1. D. Gilaon, of Iloulton, Is mak ing extensive preparations for the erec tion of a neat residence on the plateau west of town, near whore Willamette street terminates at the western boun dary of the city. The site chosen by Mr. U I lion will prove a pleasant place for a home, and the building he will erect will I decidedly ornamental. HI nee the County Court has appor tioned the money collected on account o( bicycle tax we may expect to see a atart made for the improvement of patha for wheing. Of course, the Court has Jurisfiction over this matter, but the mone was paid by bicyclists and may protaVrly enough be expended for the benvUt and pleasure of cyclists. Judge Poan'a time was occupied last Hnturday in hearing a caso In which H. M. Rice was plaintiff and J. K. Heiser, defendant, brought to force the pay ment of a certain sum of money, ver bally agreed, ao the allegations are, to 8. M Rice, through a deal in which W. J. Kice played a star part. The hearing was not finished and will be taken up later on, perhaps one day this week. Most of St. Helens' population is at the Coast or soon will be thoru. J. U. Watts and family went down Tuesday. Mrs. James Diirtand family left yester day for Heamdo. W. F. Klanghter and wife and Misses Daisy and Lavelle Wat kins left Thursday for the seashore. M. C. Uray and wife expect to bo to Clatsop in a few days. Mr. A. J. Dom ing and family wi'l spend the summer in the bills, in the vicinity of I'eria. Mr. E. C. Dalton, of Portland, has been in this city this week looking fur ther into the proposition of building the railroad from this rity Into Neha luui Valley. It is given out that the Northern Paciilc Railway Company is behind the project, and when aulUcient tonnage contrueta are signed to guaran tee work for the rood, construction work will begin. Mr. Dalton seems to lie energetically pursuing the undertaking and will most likely meet with abun dant auccoss in his eUbrta. Last Monday's Oregonian contained a communication from Mr. Sam Burr, of Portland, who ia at Cape Nomo. lie is running a dairy ranch at that place, and ia doing well. He took a herd of ton cows with him. and the day ho landed bis stock milk sold for U a gal lon. The price declined to 2 a gallon, wbich urlcu Mr. Uarr is now receiving for all the milk he has for sale. Two of t!m cows Mr. Uarr is milking were pur chased from Commissioner Frakcs, of Hcappoose. Mr. uarr advises his friends to atay away from Nome. Indication! point very strongly to the fact that important developments aro .eooii to take place in the central part of County. Mr. ltenson, of the BenBon Logging Company, is purchasing very large bodies of timber in 6-4, on the divide between the Clatskanie and No hnlnm rivers. The wise ones say a rail road is soon to lie built. Whether this lm an nr not. Mr. ben son is undouht' mllv dianlnvim excellent ludirment in acquiring title to the timber in that vicinity, as it Is said to be as good a body of timber as exists in the County. The projectors of the Goblo-Nehalem railroad have mude a verbal proposition to the County Court to be allowed the use of the County rond nt a certain point back of Reuben for constructing their roadbed upon. In lieu of such grant the railroad people proposed to agree to build and improve such road as would amply take the place of that used by them. Verbal propositions In such niattera are not entertained in Court, and the matter was left un settled nntil auch time as the railroad company presents to the Connty assur ance of deeds to the proposed new road, when the matter of agreeing to vacate and deed away the present road may bo considered. Many people in this County who have filed claims for bounty on scalps are wondering why their vouchers are not paid more promptly. The reason is very clear. The aealp bounty taxis very much of a dismal failure. The amount of money accruing to that fund in the Btnte Treasury is quite inanfll ,.i.,t i, now tlm eluiins tiled. Many Counties are not collecting the scalp bounty tax, amongst them being Mult nomah County, where refusal to do so is emphatic. Over $100,000 of claims have been filed In the State office, ana about $13,000 bos been collected, trom ail i..un the law is defective in many ways and as a consequence claim ants are left to wait indefinitely, I'm is another of the recent laws enacted which needs tome fixing.

Case, of Pitts burg, was up Monday to examine the bridge at this place acroBS Kock Creek, and pronounced it unsafe. We under stand the bridge above town, across the .NuliKlem, and the one at rituourg are also condemned. Miss Vernlo Sheeley. who has been for the pant three months visiting with her elnter, Mrs. Clyde Chamberlain, near Iloulton, came homo laHt Friday. Her sister and husband and brother, Claude, accompanied her and will visit tor a tew days with tue lauiuy oi o. a.. Sheeley, up the river. Many people came to meeting last Sunday thinking campmeeting was etill going on, several bringing their dinnner along. Pastor Stroup preached at 11 a. m. and at 2:30 p. ni. There was Hun day school at 10 a. in. and the Alliance meeting at 4 p. in., so that all had a good day at the camp grounds. The campmeeting closed Wednesday night. The ministerial talent was per haps the best we have had for many years and our people missed some very excellent discourses by not attending. The two talks to the young people on Tuesday niwht on "The Possibilities Open to the Young Man and Woman," Kov.JJ. E. Smith tiikimr the temporal side of the question and Kev. Robt. Pierce the spiritual, were both very fine and fully appreciated by all who heard them. During the meeting Uev. F. W. Launor delivered a discourse, taking as his sub ject, "Get from Uehind the Htutr," which was forceful in delivery, aptness of illustration, and practical in appli cation and mado n deep impression upon the minds of his hearers. Since this was Mr. Lanner's first charge, our peo ple are glad to note his strength aa a pulpit orator. White Nun TiirniQ Yellow. Great consternation was felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarty, ol Lexington Ky., when they saw ho was turn ing yellow .n His skin slowly changed color, also his eves, and he suffered ter ribly. His malady was yellow jaundice. He was treated by the best doctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful stomach and liver remedy, ami he writes : "After taking two Domes x was wholly cured." A trial proves its matchless merit for all stomach, liver and kidney troubles. Only 60 cents. Sold at the St. Helens Pharmacy. Good Demand for I.ojrs. There continues to be a good demand for sawlogs, and loggers aro receiving remunerative prices. Mew camps are being started in several places, the moat extensive one being Benson A Co's., on Deep Kiver, where several miles of rail road are under construction from the river over a divide. This company put 20,000,000 feet of logs into the water up to July 4, which is considered tho mid dle of the logging Bcason, and will prob ably put in as much nioro during the remainder of tho season. Loggers bavo no fear about there being a drop in prices, aa they have things so arranged that production can be checked if there iB an overplus which is likely to alt'ect the market. Longing has become a business which to he successful must be conducted on a large scale, systemati cally and intolligentlyi and no one can hope to do this without suilicient cap ital, ami it. is more than likely that when wet weather comes this fall there will lie a lot of logging camps and out fits for sale.

Very extensive Improvements are go ing on in Beaver valley at present which will be very valvable, not only to the promoters of the enterprise but to the entire section of country. The people whose names we mentioned .jn euunec tion with this enterprise some time ago, have bought all the timber of any value along Beaver Crerk, about 8,U00 acres all told. The work of building dams, etc., was begun on Tuesday of last week, and a surveying purty of five men are now in tiie field locating the route for tho Hume that will carry all the timber to the railroad. Mr. Charles Mayger is manager of the new enterprise which promises to convert that part of the County into vigorous activity. Mes orve Bros, are putting an extra engine of sixty horsepower capacity into their mill, besides a Tatum & Bowen gang edger, in order to bo able to cut the lumber necenary to carry on the im provements. Tne flume will go to Heaver Slough at the ruilroad, near John llendrickfioii's store. Charley Richard son lias the contract to put. in the logs to be cut at the Meserve mill. The Cut-Worm Plaituo. Complaints reach here from many parts of the County of the destruction of vegetation by a small brown worm, varying in size from half an inch long to an inch and a fourth in length. The first appearance was detected in the clover iialds, thence lu the gardens and finally in the larger patches of potatoes and in corn fields. The leaves of the vcgetBtlon are first attacked and then the stalk, finally following down to the ground, where the roots are devoured. In the vicinity of Warren, in places where the potato crop was attacked, these worms have not only eaten the leaves and stalks, but have destroyed the tubern, making way with whole patches of that vegetable. Tho same disuster has befallen the onion crop. Farmers are inclined to the belief that this pestilence is the Army worm, but authorities say it is not. Anyhow, their presence lias caused great alarm and no end of damage has already resulted. Over in Kelso, Wash., we notice by our exchanges, that the same pestilence exists, and farmers are warding against the worms bv the liberal ue of a spray composed of sulphur and ashes in the proportion of 1 to 4 parte. The Scap poose country is also infested by these worms and the situation has become one of much apprehension. Protect Oar Dojca. Mr. President, and members of the Honorable City Council : We move you that your honorable body cauce the lieople of this municipality to ordain thut do;s shall have all the rights and privileges ujion our streets that are accorded lo individuals, inenumuer of dogs in our city is becoming less each succeeding year and unless there is leg islation adopted atlording protection 10 the canine population, that class of very iiceful, if not ornamental, portion of the inhabitants will become extinct. There are only about 3.10 dogs remaining in the city, and it seems almont brutal to know that certain people insist upon the use of sidewalks in preference to the dogs, wbich should have a legitimate right to stretch their carcasssee length wise and crosswise of all the sidewalks, and there repose undisturbed. We should feel a keen sense of pride in our canine population. Our dogs are not only ornamental but useful. Some of them would make delicious sausage, and those which are yet too attenuated for that purpose should be stall fed until a degree of avoirdupois ia attained that would command respect, at least. But do aa you desire about this matter, gentlemen. Our sympathy was aroused the other day by seeing a number of dogs ruthlessly hiked from the side walk in order that the progress of ordi nary individuals might not be impeded. FKKSONAIi MENTION.

"Sweeping the streets with riile bullets, tearing toe ciomea on decent women, what are these? Symp toms of innocence? Proofs of harmleag- ness. tidings of trreat joy? For what are oolice? Ornaments? When an Amnrican can't natronize a street rail way without the consent of a rabble of rum-soaked rioters, Republican institu tions are becoming rather primitive. I have always counted that mob rule is a greater tyranny than the "abuses" it would remedy. Astoria Herald. OA8TOIIIA.
