potliliig whatever toward the Improve

"The building ot railroad Into the

the limber tribntary," aaya the Oregon
Timheruian. "It I eatfmatod taking

accurate, a railroail corporation which

There will come a time, and we do
not think it la far dlalant either, when
it will be considered necensary for Co
lumbia county to purchate a rock
cruaher, or two, for all that. If thia
county ever expect to make permanent,
aubatantial rondi tbi ia the only eola
tion to the problem. It ill take rock,
and lot of it, before a foundation can
tie formed, but when thia I miide, then
we (hall be making road which will
btt. It will bike longer to construct
road, but we notice that the cmintioa
which are through exjierlmentlng are
fulling back on rock nruahera to make
their road fit to travel over.

The pubfle debt of Columbia county
Is vauishiiig like snowball under a
high pressure of warm atmosphere. By
reference lo a legal notice in thi issue,
headed "County Traaurer' Notice,"
you will learn that all outstanding
county warrant endorsed prior to Jan
uary 1st, lDOl, will be paid upon pres
entation to the county treasurer. This,
of course, mean that the debt of the
county la only for the amount of war
rant Issued since the first ol this year,
which aggregate but 8,1!60.
Half of the business vear with the
county ia past, and the expenditure
havo fallen fur abort of the estimated
expense, a very happy circumstance, aa

remaining uncollected on the current
tax roll $12,1107, about one-third of
which amount ia for road and school

would lie applicable to tlie payment of
county warrants, the amount for that
purpose being equal to the amount of
uncalled warrant. The financial con
