Northern l'ftulllo Braurh to Pittsburg
It an Awn red I'hcU
Tliia week wo became In possession of
'information to the ''-t that within
e. than thirty day the work of .oeur
intf the right of y lr th Northern
lILclllo brandi road to Pltl.burg will be
.tai led, our informant belli Air. K. C.
UIUin, who returned hurt (Saturday
nlulit from Tacouia, where he nt the
entire week with Aortlmiii Paelllo ptll
jTlal and where ho wan authorised by
the railroad olllelala to aoeure the right
0f way ! the company.
Mr. Jlaltou ha been working in the
liferent of the Nelialuui roud for over a
Lr and whllo there wore othor mat
uira 'which ha hoped to consummate,
but failed, he lint continued to urge the
oiiwlraetiutt of the rtad, and now re
turn with the statement poiitlvtriy
made by the olllolal that the road will
bo nut in thta yr. The engineer are
tml'intriuualy prosecuting tho tank of
permanently locatm the route, but
Ufure thi can be llimlly done It will be
nerwaary to proceed with Hie work of
MKiiiiiig right of way, In ordur Ihat the
oltu iula may be ahle to Judge and deter
mine upou the demand of the iiooiiIh,
who are ofttimen too exacting In their
demand for damage, real or Imaginary.
It appear to us that the benetll to be
derived from a road traversing that ter
ritory would amply repay any settler or
landowner for the Ion of a narrow atrip
of land aa railroad right of way, and
the privilege ahould bo willingly given
the company U proeeed forthwith to
carry out it plen;
In fact, Mr. DalUm assures ua that
the appropriation ol funds with which
to Imiid the road haa already been made
to the extent of ilili.OOO per mile, and It
it presumed that when railroad olhcialt
ai t to that extent in the matter of a
prntiuscd road It meant the Immediate
Jon.iruitlion of tbe road.
There ha lieen much dllllculty exper
ienced by the engineer in luatting tho
route on account of the elevation to
which the road inual rlae In order to get
over the aumniit, and the construction
will be neceaaarily expemilve and moie
or less tedlou. However, there seems
hut little room now to doubt but what
final and active conalruclion work will
be Marled within the next lty day.
There It alto considerable tgitntlon in
the circle of the olllcial regarding the
building of a apur Ui Hi. Helen, where
plcndid terminal lauilltle and most
celleul Iwomagecail be teeurvd, which,
with the beat tile on the Columbia river
fur a mill and the tmall exeiie of put
tint! In a tpur, make tho propoaition a
most feasible one, and one almt a
likeiy to be consummated at that of
building the branch to Nnhaleui, which
it now certainly decided upon.
SHOULD llli
Time for Action In tbe Matter It Son
Certainly ut Hand.
The building '"' tbe year hav
ing arrived it it a propllioua time to ad
vocate and demand the erection of a
tuliuhle acluml building in thit city. It
will bo remetnU'red that upon the oc
casion of the annual meeting in thit
dittrict the chairman of the eehool
l.anl inatrueted by uiotion to ap
point a cotuiuitteo w act in reganl to
teciiring Biatance to alter tlie preaeut
building, t'hl committee, by luforuial
action, ascertained that the proxition
w unixipular, and thera the matter
reals.
What the committee did ascertain,
hovtevtr, waa the deaire for the erection
of a new school building, one auitable
fur not only present ih but future tie
nianda, and that liberal donation
would lie made to assist uch an tinder
lukliig. At no other time will better
opiKiitnniliea 'present Ihemsolve for
action in thla matter than are at hand
now, and there ahould lie, and undoubt
edly will lie, a strong and aiirceaaful
eirort niale to proceed with the work.
In thla school district the valuation of
property amounts to tho mug turn of
7.I.UO0, on which .KKW or (401)0 might
be borrowed for Urn yeart or twenty
yean without seriously Involving the
district, and it it earnestly urged by
many taxpayers, that such it Hie moat
prni'ticahle p'lan for action In securing a
good achool liouso. That something will
soon lie done In thla matter it the lielief
of many of our people, and the eeaaon
being well advanced already demands
early attention to tho affair. The valu
ation will increase year after year and
the burden will become correspondingly
lighter, snd by such a plau a maguib
cent building can be paid for without
immediate or future burden or embar
rassment. It ia not overreaching the
bound of reason to intimate the belief
that ten yeart hence the valuation of
properly within thla school district will
be fully two time it present account
ing, and by which time a good building
can nave lieen paid for.
PALoirASIl KAKI.A.
Pleated a Urge Audience in thla City
Saturday Kvenlug.
The Methodist church wa filled al
most to it capacity Saturday evening
wnn a lastiinnauio ami a i iienauvu
audience which had gathered there for
the purpose of listening to I'aloina and
Karfa N-hramm. the wonderful child
pianist, whoso merited fnme hBd long
since preceded them here. Whilo the
audience wa not critical it expected a
great deal and we believe none wore
disappointed no educated taste could
mi. The young artitts, who are eleven
and nine yeart ol age, respectively, are
not simply musical prodigie who would
seek to deceive a credulous public by a
ditplay of musical tricks, but they are
genuine musicians with an uiiiihuhI
amount of talent, and are, a well,
tlicmaclvea creator of music of the
highest order, l'alnma't powert of cre
ation, execution and interpretation are
nothing hort of marvelous and the lis
tener I loat in contemplation of what
belght her perfect development will

effort teem to Ito directed toward cre
ating new wonder for it to perform.
Her programme included some of the best
inusio ever written, aueh as Hchubert'e
serenade, an air from Wagner Bondel't
Meistorsinger, romance No. 44, by Hu
lienttine, and many other selections
from all the old masters, all of which
the played most charmingly and with a
great fidelity to technique and Interpret
ation. Hnai'dea being a pleasing musi
cian Paloina has a most charming per
aonalitv which attract all who meet
her and ahould she ever return to Ht.

In a Hteamrr'a Wheel.
What might have tieen most dread
ful accident was narrowly averted last
Monday evening on the river, a few feet
from tlie thore, at this place. The
steamer llussalo was approaching tho
regular landing, about 11 o'clock, when
vigorous cries came no from the water
just at the attjrn of the steumer. The
engineer, hearing the shout, very
thoUKhtwily kept hi engines Mill, else
the lives of Arthur tieorge and Johnny
Hawkins would have been aacriliccd.
They were in a fish host, with their net
luid'otit acrost tho stream, the wheel of
the steamer picking up the net and
wiudina it around lhat part of the ma
chinery so rapidly that the smaller boat
wa drawn lieneatii me wneei m ine
hirger one. Atlde from the loss of aWut

age done, except a severe fright to tho
tishermeii and the boat crew.

COLUMBIA COUNTY'S FINANCES
KYCKliLKNT HHOWINO KOll BIX
MONTHS 1'AST.
Reliable Resource are Kqiud to the
County' JJabUIIIe.
The aeml-aiinual iluauciu) atateuieut
of the vatious county ofllcer, appearing
In thla Issue, disclose a most satisfactory
and welcome condition of county finan
cial affair, which those interested in
may scan and comprehend with both
pleasure and profit. The total liabili
ties ol the county ou the first day of
April amounted to (27,704. Thi mean
the outstanding and unpaid comity war
rant. While thi Is a fact, there waa
(2I)1I.U4 in the hand of the treasurer
with which to redeem outataudlnir war
rant, aud there still remained on the
1000 tax roll, now In the hand of
the Nheriff (J2,280.f7 to lie collected,
making a total of (25,108.61, which will
be available within, the next six or eight
months to pay on outstanding warrant
reducing the presentdebt toahout (2,600.
aniuo irom tint fact we have not vet
mentioned that tit good resource there
la (2,426 of hack tuxes, and (14,042 in
lien held by the county on land on
which the countv Iihh paid the tax.
This make a total of tlf!.4u7. which we
do not have to take Into account in order
to have resource equal to the liabilities.
Heretofore, these items, which, by tho
way, are yearly bcinir reduce.! in ac
count owing to the steady collection of
oat-K taxes anil the payment ol lien by
individuals, ha been accounted a re
source nuceasitry to balance the liabili
ties, but thi no longer I necesaarv to be
done In that respect. However stable
this resource I the cash on hand nnd
caali tb Accrue from the present tax roll
will just uliont balance the debt on
April 1st.
Now let u reflect. The statement
Issued at this date three year airo
showed the county debt' to he about
(45,000 In outstanding warrant, with
far lest reliable ret-iurcet than la at
present the case. Taking thi into con
sideration the progress made in the re
duction of the debt is not only satisfac
tory to the taxpayer, but a condition
reflecting care and integrity on the part
of tho otlleials. We predietcd last year
that the county debt would be gradually
decreased, notwithstanding the fact that
it would be necessary to exiwud consid
erable on bridges, etc.. and the annual
statement July 1st will be corroltorattve
evidence of such anticipation, wiile tbe
semi-annual statement to be issued Sep
tember let, wilt lie far more satisfactory
and pleasing to the taxpayer than the
excellent allowing made in the one just
published.
