Helen mining district of Washington are moving in the direction of getting a railroad into their country. The mineral wealth of the dis trict I iald to surpass that of any other similar section of the West richer than a hundred Klondikes. Little noise has been made about it, but a good deal of quiet work has been done in tlie past two or three years, and now a railroad Is needed to get the ore out, and negotia tions for an extension to the district lisve been opened with the Portland, Vancouver and Yakima Railroad. In conducting its extensive operation In Western Washington the Weyerhau ser Thrilier Company ha decided to add ROOO.OOO to it huge capital stock which was ffl,000,000 when the com pany was organised and purchaml the timber lands of tlie Northern Pacific Railway Company. The increase now brings the capital un to 8,000,000. During the past year the Weyerhaeser Timber Company has greatly increased! iu holdings of timber in Washington by buving timber claims held by iiidiv iving timber claims held by individ ual, thus bringing into activity tbous- and of dollars of cash which is going into sutmtantittl improvements by the men who have made the sale. The county court of Clatsop county, with the asslitanoe of the county sur veyor, is engaged in preparing a system atic set of plans and specltlcations fur the construction of the new road leading from Astoria to the Upper Nehalem val ley along the route recently laid out by viewer and for the building of which the special 2-inili tax levy wa made. The plan will show the locations and amount of the different kind of work necessary to complete the road to that at the next term of the court bid can be received and the contract let for the construction of the entire thoroughfare. It i the Intention of the court a soon as tlie contracts are awarded to appoint a road master who will have supervision of the whole work. It Is quite evident that Uncle Sam intends to eventually remove allot the fish traps from the Columbia river. It seem to be a difficult matter to get a permit, and then the conditions ire such as to make it hard to comply with them. The instructions of the government en gineer to one of the trapmen who had received a permit were that tlie trap could be located where the water did not exceed twenty-two feet in depth, and care should be taken aa to the length of the lead. Those fishermen who in tend to place in traps without permit to do so from the secretary of war will soon discover that they are not dealing with the fish commissioner of Washing ton and Oregon and will pay dearly for their experience. Senator Hunt' bill, amending the Australian ballot law, provide that on the first Monday in December and bien nally thereafter, the county judge in each county shall appoint two ' capable and discreet" citlxen and resident ol the county, possessing the qualification of elector, who, with himself, shall be known a the board of election commis sioners for that county. Said commis sioners shall be appointed one from the two political parlies having the highest number of vote at the last preceding general election. The board of election commissioners shall on or before the first Mondav in March Drecedinx a gen eral election, appoint three judge and two clerk of election tor eacn election precinct to serve for a period of two year. We believe that the condition exist ing at present in regard to propsective railroad building and timber buying in this couutv are more of substantial character than any which have ever be fore existed. The propositions to tne people are much more businesslike. In many instance when people propose options their good intent is manifested by the deposit of a sum of cash as evi dence of good faith, a condition whioh has heretofore been decidedly wanting. There is an air about the entire circum stance to inspire more confidence among the people, evidence of which is quite noticeable in many respect. Better figure are being ottered for timber, and nearly every vacant peice of land in the county is being looked after with a view to locating upon It. Altogether the con dition are quite encouraging. Neighbor Salser was over from Bache lor Flat a few days ago, and in conver sation with a reporter for Tna Mist stated that he was very much in favor of a higher levy for road purpose than the court imposed at iu first session this year. He want road and is wil ling to pay for them, and his theory that roads cannot be had unless they are paid for is good, but a great many peo ple are very seriously opposed to paying anv more tax man is aueoiuwiy w urv. an il taxea In the county is quite hik-h as it is. The process i tedious but it is beimr gradually accomplished of educatimr oeople to the fact that irnikl roads are a rood thins, and eood things acquired necessitate an outlay ol cash. ve ueueve me iouikmuuu iiu now far better roads and tne accompiiao- itient of tliis coveted condition of affairs i wall on tlie way to realization A number of Michigan men who desire to boy timber claim in Oregon forests have arrived in Portland within the past few day and are leaving for various portion of the tate west of the Cascade.

Last Toesdav was the thirty-seventh anniversurv of' the founding of the order of KnighUof Pythias, and the occasion was appropriately celebrated by the lodge of that order in thi city. Not alone, indeed, were the member here in their festivities. Tlie Rainier and Kalauin lodges came in full force, ac companied by ladies and friends, until those assembled numlicrcd more than 100. The capacity of the little castle hall wa severely taxed, but this crowded condition was lost sight of m tlie pleasing feature of the .entertain ment. Brother Cliff, of Awn, welcomed tho friends and visitors with aealous, wholesome words, when Brother Calla han, of Kalama, responded with such well chosen sentences that the ploaure of entertaining tlie visitor was made even more a pleasure. The oratorical event of tlie evening waa the discourse by Brother Magill, of Kalania, who stated the history of the order. Hi effort was eminently successful and most rrrot ifv tnirtn bin hearers. Other features prominent upon the list were the words by Brothera Wood and Gray and the able nuiwr bv Brother Ouiok. Vocal music was rendered by a choir of gentlemen, which proved a pleasing part of the entertainment. At midnight those as sembled repnired to the dining hall of the Oriontal hotel, where it waa en devord to do Justice to the appetites of all. Briefly said, the celebration was a grand success. ; FROM KEA81DY. Oscar Oheldelln haa just returned from trip to Southern Oregon.
