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vey and withdrawn Ita men from that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.
