One anction ol the ureadt aa foiiowi: "It aim II l un lawlul at any time to use anv slnkhnx. sneaking boat, skill" or other boat on the Columbia river or any 01 it tributaries, (excepting Hiv mimmiiu) ana hi irnm Uriel above Oregon Citr.) in tha state of Orvgnn, for the ptirpoae of shooting wild ducks, geese, twan or other water fowl tberelrotu." Blnca tha new ordnr of thing went Into effect, there ha been no further disposition on the part of tha itata to uluoe weir ssaessco valuations at a low figure. Multnomah county reduced her valuation aorao years ago to a very tow Bgure, thereby eac-aping payment of hr Just proportion of alate taxes. Now. however, each county ha been required to nav certain percental toward tha maintenance of the itate, ao valuatloni make no difference. A a reiult Multno luab'i valuation ha lxwn Increased till year from 33,03U,1W to 48,ol)4,2M. An Oregon farmer who went to Kanaai a year or two ago to engage In farming in that itata wrote back to Oregon friends recently aa followa; "I believe in diver- iltled agriculture. An exhibit of my crop report for 1001 I aa followa: I have raised ona acre of baked potatoes, flltv buihela of dried peaches, twenty- fire acre of parched corn, on acre of roaited peanut, and. if the weather eontlnuee drv 1 will have about two acre of melon pretoms. The balance of my crop consist of chinta bug, grass hopper and jack rabbit." Mow doth the feitive hobo tap gently at your door, and atrlk you for a band out aa many have dona before, lie tell a tale of hardship about the awful drouth, that itrurk him whore be lived, down In the luiiny South, lie telle of the flekl of golden corn all parched up In the aun, of wheat loet by the bushel, and hay burned by the ton ; of hogs tiiat died of awful thirst, of mulei that bray4 for rain, ducka that dried op and blew away and ne'er were even again. And like a chump yon dig up grub for hlm If and all hia parda, and they tuff their hide with your good grub down In the railroad yard. There waa an elopement of a fifteen-year-old girl and a twenty-year-old boy at Hcappooaa lat Sunday, which hai not only coat the parent much mental anguish, bnt the iheriff, alio, much trouble and expense in hi andeavora to locate them. The young couple don't aeem to be anywhere on tha earth which can be reached by telegraph or tele phone, aa Hherilf llattan baa kept np a continaoui Are of wind and lightning in hi endeavora to locate the runaways, aa tha girl' father, Mr. Tom Grant, is an xious to know their whereabout!. The young man'a name la Joseph Mayers, whoee home waa in Kcappooee canyon. Messrs. Oarar Hunter and Goorge Foater, nr., of Uoble, were In the county eat laat Saturday completing deal whereby Mr. Hunter acqulrea title to the land at Uoble now occupied by the hotel and aaloon building, having 100 feet of river front. Mr. Hunter expects to ma terially improve the premlsea. fitting np ami conducting a good hotel, and next year erecting a large wharf. Uoble hai never had a wharf, and inch an improve ment will eupply a want which bai been keenly felt for many years. All the way up and down the Columbia river there are many noticeable Improvement! of the nature that Mr. Hunter iiaa in con templation, and thla done at Uoble will only evince tho fuel that that plane In tendi to keep pace with other localitiea. Bait waslnstltnted In the circuit court In tbl county a few day ago to recover till to land eold for taxea at the July aale, on which the county held a lien. The patent to the land had been Issued several year ago, but had not been re corded, however, the assessor being in possession of thin knowledge, accord ingly aaaeaeed tho land, bnt no tax had aver been paid. The land eold for a great deal more than the amount of the Hen and a deed according to all the pro visions of tha law wa iiined by the aheriff. The outcome of tliii uit will bo witched with eager Interest aa it In volve! quaitlone of vital moment. If lil u doea not nrotect the county. then thore ia little hope for the future and no poiiible way to compel tha pay ment oi taxea. Laborer of all kind are atill scarce, nil enntrantora are exoerienctna much difficult in rotting help. There baa )un rv much buildlna thia fall and the demand for labor baa been steady. In eonaeauence ol the eceroity oi mou there haa been ome delay, but many nl tha mntmi'tori have aent to other localitiea for men, and It ia thought there will be lei trouble hereafter in labor circle on the Columbia. In die tha labor Question recently a well-known mlllroan laid i "One of the ni-liiolnul ann (or the action of MW' mill men In building their milli together li to avoid acarcity of labor. A will be noticed, on the Sound there are a num. lioi. n mills in everv community Where there are five or six mill there a a nmntar of available men, nd when it la necessary for mill to run overtime Inbor la eaiuy securea. The building of a mill here would not nnlv knll.t nn til town, but it WOUld make it an advantagcou location for other In veitora. The tax roll of Clatsop county for ........ r,a am Inlnir examined with a view to atraightenlng out titloa tolandi, and some Interesting discover lea are being made. A the work pro greaaea it liaa been discovered how some property owner have escaped paying taxes. Teraon who have purchased anhnnl lurwl from the Itate have, in past yean, made partial paympnt on the property, but have permivwu . balance to remain unpaid. Of courae, until full navment wai made the prop erty remained in poMonion of the itate anil I.,., nmilit tint lie flollected. llOW aver, the land wa aaaemed agaiiwt the purchaaen, but in going over tne roiii the court flnda much laud on whlc I taxei cannot be collected. It i eitl mated by Judge Gray that folly twenty aectiona of land In Clataop hnyo thui lieen held without payment of texei. The work ia ahowlng many intereiting remit. In eome iuitancp where two perion of the eame name own property there ia confusion, becauae one hai paid tnxei on the property of the otlier. Thli not only lend to confusion ai far ai the roll ia concerned, bnt it create ernllem trouble where property littl been old for delinquent taxes.

The regular term of circuit court was convened In this city Tuesday forenoon y rfuuge oicnruie. ana upon roll can oi the Jurors the entire numlier answered "present." Nearly every iurvman asked to be excused from duty, and Inter In the day the entire lurv was ex cused for the term, excepting N. F. Maker, of Warren, Thomas Holsteln, of Yankton, and Albert Adnms. ol Dear Island, who will report for duty again on the first Monday In February, when an adjourned term will lie held. Some business will be attended to. however. during this week, by the Judge, but nothing ol Importance, particularly, to the public. No grand Jury was ap pointed, as had been suggested, and there appear to be nothtng of a crimi nal nature In sight to come before the conrt. The expense of the term will be the lightest for years, a condition to be accepted without grumble. i E. B. Tongue, donutv district attorney of Washington county, waa in town ye- teruay. District Attorney Allen was In town Tuesday to attend circuit; court, but there seemed to be littlo for him to at tend to. Thw conduct of Columbia county people all of them seems to be almighty good lately, but there might be spontaneous combustion of hellerv any time, when Friend Allen will get in with his fine, Italian hand and invoke the laws' demands. On Thursday evening of last week the members of Mixpsh chapter, East ern Star, of this citv. celebrated the seventh anniversary of the institution of their chapter, and a delightful even ing was spent. A "tew friends were In vited to join them in their lodge room and participate in tha festivities, which consisted of games, readings and recita tions, alter which lunch was served in the lower hall. The matter of exoerting the books of the various county officers did not seem to agitate many people. We pre sume the books are all right. The method of each officer keening tab one another, which haa been In vogue for several years, renders it ImposHible for any of tne officers to get very far out of the way. even if any were so Inclined. The county court examinee and checks np the hooka of the officers at each ol ita term. Dr. and Mra. Cliff and children were uesta at the Goorig home, near Wood and, Tuesday, and assisted the family in celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mra. Georig, senior. Over 100 guests were present and a most enjoyable time had. The hoat and hostess were for many years resident of thi county, residing on Germany bill, where a splendid farm marks the scenes of their earlier life and Industry. Mr. Georig's health is failing very rapidly. resident of thia part of the county, in the yicinlty of Yankton, expects to leave this week for an extended visit to his native state of Maine, where he will re main for four or Ave months. Mr. Sherman sold hia 160-acre tract of tim ber, on Coweeman. in Washington, for a mug sum of money, sufficient to ena ble him to live in comfort the balance of hia days. The fact of being crippled makes bis good fortune all the more to be appreciated. Alva Wikstrom. of Yankton, returned Tueaday from a two months stay in the hiskiyou mountains. In Ualilornia, near Yrcka, where he has been doing de velopment work on some gold bearing quarts ledgea which he owns there. Mr. Wikstrom I well pleased with the result of his two month's work, as an assay he had made of the ore wbilo in Poitland Tuesday shows the value of the product to be very good. He haa both rebellious and free-milling ore in the (our ledges which he owns. Thanks, gentlemen of the city council. for your liberty In supplying more new street lamps to give additional light upon the subject. Four new-design lamps have arrived and will be placed at points where most needed one near the White residence, one near tha Decker resi dence, one near Th Mist office and one on Sheldon's wharf, to light the weary. way-worn traveler, remaps no small Improvement could have been ordered by the council that would be more ap preciated by the public than the sup plying of more light. Judge McBride renderd a decision Tuesday in a case which he haa had under advisement for some time, and one which is of much Importance to the people of Clatekanie. The heirs ol the Bryant estate have been In a controversy for some time regarding the distribution of the estate, bringing suit against Han nah Conyera to cornel her to agree to certain allotments. The case haa been pending for a long time, and the decision gave Mrs. Conyera the verdict. This may not settle the matter, as the su preme court may be appealed to to de cide the case. Sheriff Hattan, according to his notice given, proceeded to sell by public auc tion, luesnay, at me couri-nouso an too lands on which taxes had not been paid for the year 1900. There were many eagor bidders and all the lands adver tised were reaauy taaen in oy oumiue parties, the county being required to take but a very small per cent. In fact about all the county took waa some cer tain piece over which a controversy has arisen aa to whether or no the taxes bad been paid for a previous year, which, it is claimed, was no fault of the owner that it had not been paid, the total tax amounting to only about t50. Tax col lecting matters are getting down to con siderable of a science and thoroughness. Spray the Fruit Trees. Orchardists need to adopt stricter measures for the eradication of pests. The interests of the fruit raisers are in jured by the presence of insects that destroy the trees and the fruit on the trees, and in some place no attention ia paid to them. . , , , it lias oeeu aemoiiBimwu wuwo..v.j that spraying will enre most of the pests. And tee state law is expiicn m . authorising the con demning of fruits from pest-ridden trees and the destruction oi orcuarus wi are beyond cure. The fruit commis sioner for this distriot has done much to secure observance of the law, and haa made a good record. But he must have co-operation from the orchardists them .oi.

B. Hammond 3,500, 000 for the Astoria & Columbia River railroad. The olfer is said to have been declined, thongh the impression prevails that Mr. Hammond is still considering it. "Along with the story of the reputed offer comes a statement to the effect that the West will soon witness a clash of railroad interests the like of which has never before been seen in this country. The contending hosts will be the Hill- Morgan interests and the uarrlman Vanderbilt combination. On the one side are said to be arrayed the Southern Pacific, the Union Pacific and the O. B. A N. Co., while on the other are the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and 0. B. A Q. It is said that the Northern is now building into the 0. K. & N.'s wheat territory in the Northwest, while the Burlington is bnilding into Union territory, with an outlet at Los Angeles. A railroad man is quoted as saying : " 'In the North the Columbia river will be the storm center of the gigantic struggle. Owing to the heavy grades leading to the Bound cities, Tacoma and Seattle must be abandoned, and the combination of Northern roads will seek an outlet on the Columbia river. In an effort to secure this outlet an offer was made for the A. A C. Evidently it bas been declined, or else taken under con sideration, for the Northern is now ae cnringcontrolof the Kalama waterfront. I have no doubt that one of the two fac tors will purchase the A. A 0. road.' '"The impending; rieht will be the greatest of the age, as it will be war to the finish. The opposing interests are after the great Oriental trade, and, as the Columbia offers every advantage, being much closer to Asia, control of the situation here will be the main consid eration. Within a few years tha Oriental trade will be enormous, and the fight to control it will be the greatest in the his tory of the country.'
