courts may enter into coimacis witn 111
diviiluitls to improve small mountain
streams so that logs may be lion ted upon
them. There has been a law of thai
kind, but it was declared nuconstitu
lioiuil oil the ground that it did not pro
vide for due notice to parties across
whose lands tlie streams run. The pres
ent bill makes a provision in that res
pect. In his argument in favor of tlio
bill, Henntor Mulkey said t hut the for
ests ,f Orciron are remaining without
development, becanao Oregon has mr
laws which encourage men to engage in
enterpises for the manufacture tit the
timber into lumber. The laws of the
stale of Washington make every provis
ion necessary to aid lumbermen in get
ting their logs to tho market, while
Uieifoii has Iwen negligent in this res
pert. Timber land iu Oregon that is
worth $4 per acre, would be worth til)
per acre in tho same location in relation
to a stream, in Washington. Oregon
has been too conservative and her tim
ber resources, the best on tho surface of
tlie globe, have remained undeveloped
while in Washington lumbering lias
rapidly forged to the front. Mulkey
said that ho represents no milling inter
ests, but the owners of timber lands far
up in the mountains. He desired this
bill to pass in order thut the owners of
Ihe timber claims near tlio head of
small streams may bu ablo to sell their
property at a fair price.

subject of Washington's private and
public, life was discussed at length,
which, with some appropriate music and
other. historical features introduced by
Hostess perry, together with tt sump
tnous luncheon, occupied the time until

while Mrs, Hubert wan granted tho
honor of doserving the booby. Unit
Perry, not aatisfied, seemingly, witli
what had been provided for means of
entertainment, invited bin guests to bis
hall over the store, and providing the
mush: himself insisted upon completing
the evening's pleasures in the indul
gence in Terpsichorofin festivities for an
hour or such a matter, very much to the
satisfaction of quite everybody proseut.
A transaction which occurred here

tliu Parker tracts, near pituburg, Mr.
Francis Donahue, of Chebulis, is a man
of wide biitfinpss experience, nnd states
that bo did not make the purchase of
the land to hold them for spccnlniive
purposes. Ho is a man of considerable
wealth, and states that his intention in
to put in a sawmill nnd cut his recently
purchased timber Into lumber, and from
this remark we would judge thai Mr.
Donuhou expects some Imiuediute means
of tram porting his product to the mar
kets, lie is a banker at Chebalis and
mayor of that city, having resided there
for twenty-six yours, and has bad oppor
tunity to become familiar with the
methods of tlie Northern Pacilic Kail
road people, and we believe Mr, Dona
hoe understands that the proposal of
tlmt company to build a brunch line to
PittHbung will be immediately curried
out, in the event of which Sir. Dona
tion' recent purchase will yield him
large returns on bis capital. Current
events would most certainly indicate
that Nehulem valley is soon to have a
rai I roud .
Three railroads lines are now under
wnv to the Nehnlem Valley, the (joble,
Nclifllun 4 Pacilic, the Northern PnciKc
and the Portland, Nehalem ATilinmook.

w, BlluU.(l for tliat country, the rond !
from I in ilu. w inch lias its lisse on tlie '
river and also connects w ith the North
ern l'acttic track, thus giving it
both water and mil entrance to Port
land. The total length of this route is
ahout I5M miles between rortlnmi ami
Nehalem bay. The Northern Pacilic
brunch is delinitoly projected only to
Pittehurg, a distance of twenty-four
miles from Hcuppoose. The intention
is eventually to go through to the coast
making a lino IU miles long between
Portland and Nehalem bay. The North
ern Pacific's line to the coast is said to
be substantially the same as that mapped
out by tho Uoble, Nehalem A Pacilic
beyond Pittsburg. The Portland, Neha
lem & Tillamook project is for a road
direct from 1'ortland to the Nehalem and
Tillamook coast tbnt shall be twenty to
thirty miles' shorter than either of the
others. An alteniative routo out of
Portland is show n, one out the north
end of town nnd one out the south end.
The country to be drained is, rich in tim
ber, coal and agriculture, capable of the
highest development. Headlight.
