Buln people are preparing to fall iu lint wltU Uib march of proar and build a new tad modern chool-houe, a tax having ben voted on the property of Hit district recetitlv for that purpo, Uaod for Reuben I The tplrit of j tog as I everywhere manifest, and tht vuud people of KouImm do not propot tb I loft In tlm rear, Mr. O. W. Lann, of Mist, wtt before lh county Judge and local physician Thuradty being examined at to hi can ity, and waa committed to the aavlum. The old gentleman la not violently In ana, but hit mind Itdarannd, probably by re ton of hie advanced ay. Much case are extremely pitiable, but there wtt no other oour for the examining board to puraue. Architect P. I. Near, of Portland, fit In thlt city Wednesday and aubinit td to tht board of tchool director an Idea of a plan for the new achool-houee to b built here. What the gentleman Hud on exhibition teemed to uit the board very well, and a contract waa made and clgned for the drawing of plan for the building, which will be ready in due oure of time. . Judge Doan joined In wedlock latt Monday forenoon, at the parlor of the Oriental hotel In till city, Mr. Leon Malcolm and Mia Uraoa Ilea. Doth the contracting partiee are well and favora bly known In the lower portion of the county, Mr. Malcolm being a member of the tlilnglu manufacturing firm of Mal colm Urn., of Iteaver valley, and the bride a favnrlta among the young people in the vicinity of Mayger. During the latt fifteen day of the optn teaaofl. which expire Ileceniber lit, China pheasant may be told in the market. Thit telling of game, how ever, ia permitted only nnder certain condltlona, and with certain rettriction. Non-retldent market hunter are re quired to pay a licence fee of 110, and all market banter, whether retldent or non-retldeut, are rentrk,ud to ten bird a day. Compliance with regulation i alio required of thorn who handle game Intended for tale. Thote pnrchaaliig for the purpote of al are required to keep record of all pnrchatee open at all time to the lnepecllou of the game warden and bla depuUea. The LaOrande Obaerver ay "that a gentleman In that city who haa in bi poawetion considerable Baker county ax-ript, received payment on a warrant that wa Itaued on November U, 1W0. Tit amount of the warrant wat $43.60, and the interait during the time it wa held, which wa twenty-nine daya leaa than eleven year, amounted to $37.13. In other word. Raker county paid $79.63 for $43.50 value eleven year ago." County Unancea down with na are not In ao bad plight aa thlt. Time waa, however, when thla county waa three year behind in payment of aerlpt, but tba chancva are that we will keep about even hereafter. Laat week the government commenced the long deferred payment to the BileU Indian of the purchase price of the res ervation tao.lt lor which eongreat appro priated Hj,000. The rate per capita will be $iua.. The payment will be made alphabetically and the aetllement of estates of defeated Indiana will be token up laat. We nnderauuid that the ttlmnt nt nulla a number of the eatatee will be held up on account of irregularitir of the adtnlnittrallon thereof. The payment la being made by Special Indian Agent D. W. Man cheater, of Cleveland, Ohio, who haa been at the agency for aome time pait arranging tb prcliminarie. Judge Doan, agent for the mortgagee In the defunct tkhmldt logging alleir, at Kalnier, aold eerUlu chattel oy pub lic auction latt Friday to raiae fundi with which to aatitfy the demanda of a chat tel mortcnge held by I). J. Switaer, aa trustee. Two teama of borate and Uieir harneaa were aold, bringing in all over $500, and after paying the expense of the tale and keeping of the horae. the agent turned into the court about $150. which will very likely be ordered turned over to the eaaignoe of the butlner. The whole affair will have to drag wear ily through the proceae of the law and will require aome time before all the tangle are ttraightened out. The land eeeni to be alive with tim ber crulter theae day. OnThureday of laat week, Mr. Johnaon, of the l'io Deer etablet, took company of South ern Paclflo men op to Bcoggin valley and they were going to work from there over the range. They wanted 60,000 acre and eaid thev didn't car for water. When they got what they wanted they would pnt In a railroad to bring out the timber. On Sunday Mr. Johnson took another crew, representing an Eastern ayndicate, up to the head of the Neha lem. where thev are now at work. Thlt great activity of the lumber men mean kntineat, and we can't eay Juat how it rill linvulnn. tmfc One thins it certain. thit region 1 bound to have the benefit ot It. roreat urove j.iiue. it miuttlnir n( (ha Natal Oramr No. S0J, held Saturday, the loth Inat., the niaioliara vaaolvnd nnalllmOUalV tO JOM in extending their heartfelt eympathy toward Ouatave Petereon and Altwrt m-in. ihir iratriial lirothert. in their tad bereavement, the former having k.i.i hu hnlnveil wife, after a pro longed period of alcknoaa, and the latter bavins burled hi dear and venerable father, who wa only a abort time III, ti.. aL,.ua i,,iiv i iioil their condi tion and became perfectly reconciled to await their call. Both Mr. Melli and u,. nld settlor there, and very highly respected by all who were acquaint! with them. They act an example of Christianity and Industry in the community where they lived, which will never be forgotten. Numerous case of poltonlng due to .Li-iin.. i.,..,i" yiinln cider are coin ing to light and Investigation la being prosecuted. Some of thlt cider, known to have been manufactured at Balein, it tielng analvaod at the State Agricultaral college, at uorvam. oy t chainlets, and aa aoon aa the tate dairy und food commissioner ha received hi return, he will attend to the manufac turer who placed it on tho market. There are those who believe that the cider wa rendered polsonou by haying been ahippcd and bandied In unclean vessels, but Chemist Kniaeley haa found ' the older contained sodium fluoride, a ; deadly poison. The drug whs used by the manufacturer for the purpote of preserving the cldor. The tymptoiiit of thote who partook of this beverage arc , thorn of poisoning violent cramps, mi lowed by vomiting. The r'"o n0.'t talitle are reported in connection with th cases ia tfuit only email amount ol th cider were taken in the stomach. Laat bt day the county treasurer had the wind knocked out ot hi prosperity tails, which have been carrying him along kj pluasantly on the high tide of promptly meeting all the demands of the couuty court made upon the nuhlie Itinus. it had been the expectation all along that It would not be necessary to endorse any warrant until at least tha first of next year, but an $800 warrant, ssued last Friday, in part payment for the building of th new bridge across Fox ereek, at Ilaiuler, was a little bit more than the treasurer could take care pf when It wa presented for payment, hence It wa necessary to endorse It and other warrant presented since. How ever, fund keep coming Into the treas ury all the time, and the probabilities are that there will not be a great amount of outstanding warrants when cash from tha next tax roll begins to be received by tlie treasurer, I'lton the completion of the Foa creek bridge, very soon, now, there will be another warrant, for $100, to be taken ear of, and payment in the turn of $1400 will soon be made for the construction of the Bcappooae creek bridge. Win. Bald, of Portland. I aaain agita ting the building of the Portiand-Tllla-mook railroad. He ha recently re turned from an exnlorinir tilo throush the country, in company with an expert enaiueer, aim a bo lares inai ma roau can lie built and eanlnned for $20,000 a mile. Held ha revived hi agitation since the Northern Pacific bas completed- it sur vey and withdrawn Ita men from that territory and the belief ha become prevalent that If that company build at all it will be tome time, at least, be fore any movement I made by them. We believe that Portland canltafiaU will never tulwcrlbe the necessary funds to build and equip a railroad to Tillamook Such an undertaking would be a wise business stroke on the part of Portland people, but there appear too utile in terest among the people with money In that city to reach out for th good thing so near them. Unless the Northern Pa- clrlo or other rich company builda through the Nehalern to Tillamook we believe the country will remain for many years undisturbed by tb snort of the locomotive. The merchant of Astoria are discuss ing th proposition of placing an inde pendent steamer on the I'ortland-Astoria route. The blah freluht 'ratea chanted by the transportation line are doing much to Injure Astoria, and it is ex pected that the American Can Company will remove Ita large plant to Portland, where a large aaving in freight rate will be made. The freight rate now in force are certainly too high, and are work'ng a hardship not only on Aatoria, bat the raaldenta of th lower river a well. It might be well, though, for tlie Aatoria merchant to make an effort to have the trantoortation ooinpanie to lower their freight tariff before going into the steamboat butlnesa. With a proper representation of the queation before the official of these companiea, the Oaaette believe that aatiafactory ratea can be aecured. Above all thing, we do not desire a 2o-oent rate, and it the merchanta woo Id place an independ ent boat on the river it would mean a rate war. Cathlamet Uatette.
