The county court of Clatsop county,

from Astoria to the Upper Nehalem val

The plan will show the locations and

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

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

Last Toesdav was the thirty-seventh

was appropriately celebrated by the

tho friends and visitors with aealous,
wholesome words, when Brother Calla

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

was rendered by a choir of gentlemen,
which proved a pleasing part of the
entertainment. At midnight those as
