UAVID 1UV1S, inuitsner. This is the season for planting. Plant an advertisement in Tus Mist aud yonr business will grow. Now that Fnnston haa proven himself ao plucky in tne proscenium oi warm enterprise the people of Kansas should .. - j t - -:n I . e !...: ..,...... vena mm on a aim nuus iui ium bww lost reputation. Portland may not act noon our sug gestion of leasing Aguinaidoand placing him on exhibition during the summer carnival, for the reason that perhaps many of his kind are already in that city. Ths demand for canned horse has in f creased to such an extent that the Linn ton abattoir it again in operation. The ' demand comes from Europe, undoubt edly. No, we did not say ''paas the horse, please." If Hay flowers are large and numer ous according to the number and hu midity of April showers, we will have pansies as large as sunflowers and chrys anthemums bigger than the average foot ba!l player's head. Takbo the work of all the legislative bodies into account, there were about 10,(100 new laws enacted during the past winter. In legislation everything noes except polvgamy and the river and har bor bill. ' It will require all the tact and re sourcefulness of even the brilliant Fun ston to retrieve the good name .of Kan sas unless the people of that state art promptly in suppressing the pops, cy clones and joint-smashers. I ,Hon." H. W. Corbett keeps his word good regarding his campaign for election next year to the senate, some of y "the boys" throughout the state will no doubt have more spending money. That's one way of inflating the currency. It now tranpires that the Idaho legis lature, which was controlled wholly by fusion forces, also cost 12,000,000, not withstanding the fact that the state is mailer and less important commer cially and every other way than Oregon. Tax disaster in the new tunnel of the Great Northern railroad is another evi dence of the inferiority of man's best handiwork to that of nature. The tunnel is a great work and constructed in ac cordance with the latest ideas, bnt is imperfect. Hon. T. T. Geer, who will now as eov ernor of the state, welcome President McKinley to its hospitality, did a simi lar service for President Harrison ten Tears ago, when, as speaker of the house, he was chairman of the committee from that body, and went to the state line to meet the pre ident. The Salem Journal suggests that Ar bor Day might be employed to teach boys and girls to graft. There are a num ber of Oregon politicians who are well op in the art aud their services might be secured as instructors. The Albany Democrat might also be able to give the young hopefuls a few pointers. Ginebal Fo'sros has been promptly and suitably rewarded for his daring capture of Agninaldo, the Filipino lead er. Now, if the government metes out justice to the little rebel nigger by promptly shooting him, most of those entitled to it will have received their just deserts and a vexatious problem will nave been judiciously disposed of. Thi oil mining furor has struck Ore. gon, and there aeetm to be every reason able probability that a little mtelligiit effort will be rewarded by the diwovery of valuable wells of petroleum. Colum bia county can boast of as good oil prospects as any section of the state, and some startling developments will undoubtedly be made here during the next year. A dew aeries of postage stamps will eoon appear, namely: the Bunalo fcx-i erai people as they were buving goods position series.

Easter Sunday will fall once on its latest day, April 25, 1043. This also occurred once in the century just passed in 1866. Ascension day is practically always in May but on three occasions in the past century it occurred in June, in this century it will occur four times. It seems that Uncle Sam is to be put to the necessity of teaching another in solent latin state what constitute com roon gratitude if not common decency.

Later on certain Atnericau capitaliata secured concessions from the wobbly little republic which permitted them to O'lerate aonie asphalt mines, aud they accordingly laid out large sums in se curing and transporting machiuery for that purpose.

Mr. and Mrs. Hyde are enjoying a visit from their daughter, Mr, liuut, from Ferris, Michigan. Mr. Johnson and family, who accompanied Mrs. Hunt, have decided to remain, and will occupy the Saxton house this summer. J. W. Saxton, Clyde Chamberlain, G. Solomon, Fa mice and Will Sanrvine and Lester Baily, are among those who will begin work at once at T.Brown's new camp on the lower Cowlitz. Mr. 6a Hon and Mr. Chamberlain will move their families to Catlin as soon as the weather will permit. DEFRAUDING THE COW. Schemes Devised to On twit Old Bossy of this Land. tor a tact there has been more in genious rascality add cussedness de veloped in connection with the single item of cows' milk than in any other thing produced on tne larui. The dairy man early learned to water and skim it, the milkman who peddled it to adulter ate it with formalcbyde and .salicylic acid to keep it from souring, the butter maker to work casein and water into the butter and the steer man and the hog man and the cottonseed oil man each took a hand to fraxluiently beat old oossr out ot ner vested rights, while onlv a few commission men can now handle the butter and keep the ten com mandments. But that is not all. for the great packing companies have turned ' . i , . . : . pans ui tueir eiauguier nouses into "creameries," where oleomargarine is manufactured by the wholesale from beef fat, hog fat, veal fat. mutton fat, or any other old fat that can be scraped up. Think of a well bred cow, one of the Creators best gifts to man. having as competitors the pump, the steer, the hog, boutheru oil mills and Northern drug stores, and the legion of slaughter bouses, the wonder is that ahe la able to do business at all. Laplanders in This Coantj. It is not generally known, but it is no less a tact, that in the lower end of this county reside two gentleman, natives of Lapland, who came to this continent three years ago, at the time the rein deer were imported by our government to be o!ed in penetrating the interior of Alaska to take relief to what was then supposed to have been a host of starving miners. These two gentlemen came with the aniirrals, and are now located in this county, having purchased lands near Qaincy. Their have not been among our people long enough to be very familiar with our customs or lan guage, but are taking bold of the situa tion a they 6nd it in the land of their adoption, and promise to become useful citizens. Bestlegg Laborers. H. O. Howard, the Yankton sawmill man, was in town lat Friday on busi ness, and reports trade in his line good, and rapidly on the increase. Mr. How ard says the greatest drawback these days is to keep a force of men. There is so much employment everywhere that the laboring element is restless, contin ually gr'ing from one place to another. This condition is to be deplored, how ever, onlv from that point of view and condition of circumstances which gives employers trouble in securing the nec essary help. Not Married to Any One. "No matter how long one has been doing their trading at a certain store, they are under noobligations tocontinue doing so if they can do better elsewhere." That was the opinion expressed bv sev- meiuture. Card or Thanks. We desire to sincerely thank oor neighbors and friends for their kindness and sympathy during the recent sick ness and death of our dear children. Mb. and Mas. F. M. Pabkeb, Vei nonia, Or.

Misses MrCobh, EngliMh. Tichenor and Messrs. J. C. Bryant and Harold Shaver were on hands, each adding in some measure to the enjoyment of Friday evening. A horse hitched to a dray on which a cook stove was loaded, started so sud denly aud unexpectedly from in front of rage a store I uesdav, Uiat tne stove soon rolled off the dray, caught against a telegraph pole abjve Conyer' store and tne horse went on without it to the neighborhood of Clark's livery stable, where it was captured without injury to the horse but very serious mishap to the stove and some damage to the harness which, being made up largely of ropes, could be repaired. The city of Clatskanie is in possession of a silver medal from the California State Floral Society, awarded last fall. on account ot an exhibit ot Uregon mosses which took the premium at the society's exhibition at San Francisco, Cal. The collection was made at the suggestion of Mrs. Chandler, of Sau Francisco, who visited here something over a year ago, and being something of a botanist was greatly interested in the variety and beauty of the mosses about here. A few of our citizens were in duced to prepare a collection cf these mosses and ferns for exhibition and sent them to California, winning first pre mium, as stated. On Saturday evening Graham's ball was well tilled to witness a programme given by the scholars of the public schools. There were few numbers on the card, sutrzestinz a brief exercise, but a good deal ot stage setting and prelum' nary work was required on each uuin ber so that about two hours were occu pied in the performance. The enter tainment was a very enjoyable one, though' a little less demonstration by the juniors in the audience would have been appreciated. The programme con sisted utaiuly of drills with musical ac companiments and some little diversions which were well rendered, the scholars doing their parts in a surprisingly skil ful manner considering their oriel prep aration. This was a pay entertainment, the proceeds being devoted to paying such expenses as were occasioned in the graduating exercises. The result finan cially was satisfactory in addition to the pleasure of a good entertainment. The annnal graduation exercises were held in the ehurch last Friday and were well attended, notwithstanding the rain that was pouring down outside. The audience room had been taafully and very elaborately decorated for the occa sion, Oregon grape having been used so as to form a massive curtain, suspended from the ceiling and draped in very at tractive style. Flowers were also very much in evidence, and were ingeniously distributed through the green so as to greatly enhance the effect. After the audience had been seated by young lady ushers robed in white, the three mem bers of the graduating class, Misses Elsie Hughes, viyian Tichenor and Mr. Vincent Tichenor entered and took their places on the platform, followed by Prof. Wbitten and Hon. C. W. F'ulton. After an invocation by Rev. Culmer, Miss English gave a violin solo accompanied on the piano by Miss McCobb, director of music at Pacific University. This wns well received as it merited. Miss McCobb was on the programme for a song and two piano selections, which were given during the evening to the delight of the audience. She is an artist in music, a brilliant pianist, with a rich ami pleasing voc.J power also, and contributed very largely to the en entertainment of the evening. Mivs Hughes read an essay on "The Cru sades," Mis Tichenor took "The Em press Josephine" for her subject, while Mr. Vincent Tichenor gave an oration on "Our Insular Possessions." Those exercises were well given and creditable. Hon. C. W. Fnlton gave a half hour of very excellent advice and suggestion along educational lines, showing quite a familiarity with general literature. The address was practical and helpful and will not soon be forgotten. Dr. Hall, in a few words of commendation to the class and teachers, presented the diplo mas. Harold Khaver being present, was called on for a song, and responded by giving a selection called "Asleep in the Deep." He has a rich baritone voice and sings well. After this the lady ushers brought forward boquets and other Uikens of greeting from friends, and the closing by Kev. Culmer ended an evening of rare enjoyment, an epoch in the history of Clatskanie.
