Out in our neighboring settlement of Yankton is to be found the fruits of the founding of a most desirable enterprise, one to which our county is particularly 1 adapted, one which has been pursued in other parts of the county with great success, and oue destined to become, very likely, the foremost industry of our county. From a feeble effort made less than a year ago has sprung an indus try which already has assumed consider able proportions and gives groat promise of developing into the permanent indus try of the neighborhood. Lees than a year ago Tarbell's installed a milk sep arator ana starteu a creamery hi meir farm, and the success of the busiuees from the promoter's point of view has Owen, enuuurugiug, uwiucb wir i;iirL uru ifit it has been to thecommuDitr. While the pecuniary benefit has not been of uch enormous proportions, yetconBid' ering the enterprise in its infancy, there has been a remarkable showing made. From this feeble effort the way has been opened whereby the community may increase its annual cash earnings, from " uracticallv nothing in that line, to eev i eral thousand dollars. From the time the small plant was installed op to the last of the year, the peopie of the com munitv have received 100 direct cash for the butter fat produced by the few cows owned. Besides this, there has been the entire residue of the milk returned to the farm yards and there utilized to the benefit of the young stock and the growth of hogs and the sustenance of the poultry flocks. Tbe result of last year's work in that community in that respect has encour aged the farmers to increase their herds and otherwiee improve their opportuni ties. The effort has assured future success, the most important thing. We i congratulate Mr. Tarbell upon the good judgment and determination displayed in establishing his small creamery plant, and express almost certain knowledge that it will be eminently successful from a financial standpoint, and congratulate the community upon its good fortune in having been afforded the opportunity to develop and progress, and assure them, it tney pursue tne undertaking witn determination that the seed bas Keen own from which they will be permitted to reap abundantly. PASSING OF THE NEWS. The Colombia County News has passed into the realms of inocuous desuetude. In other words, it has ceased to be. Its editor and proprietor, in the death no tice of the paper, stated that as a finan cial undertaking it had always been . far below zero, a useless statement, however. There never was a demand for another paper at the county seat; bad there been the News would have prospered instead of perishing. No newspaper can be published in a com munity unless there is room for it, and consequently a demand for it. How ever, the effort was made here without success. True, it was'nt much of an effort, vet a while aeo it was quite pre tentious. The consequence has been failure, and from a double caute. If a newspaper does not receive patronage, and be able to receive enough for the service it renders, then, surely, it must perish. The Mist fills the field, always has; and is as good a newspaper as can possibly be produced here with the pat ronage divided. Of course Thk Mist has bnt one right to remain and be patron ized, and that right is founded iti better service to the people than the other paper had the ability to render. A strong effort was made to run out The Mist, but it is still doing business at the old stand. It would not be here unleBS it was wanted. It has been the best paper it could be made under the cir cumstances, and the fact that it is still here is proof that it was by far the best paper. People are not compelled to Satronize a newspaper unless they really esire to, and the people of the county well know that they have never been auked to subscribe for and otherwise patronize this paper. We have re mained at home and looked after our business; in fact, too close at home. Our business might well enough have been greatly increased if we bad neg lected our work at home and gone forth into the county, but one cannot attend at two weddings, two funerals or two feasts all at , once and tbe same time; hence we have done the very best we could by remaining at home and attend ing to our affairs here, trusting to the merits of the paper to pilot its own way. We are still here, and expect to remain, and extend a hearty invitation to the people of the county to come in and see us, pay np your arrearages, if you owe anything, subscribe for the paper if you are not a subscriber, and otherwise en courage and support one good paper at tbe county seat ; all that now remains. . The increase in the amount of taxa ble property in Columbia county has in creased in the past two years over $75, 000. Considering its population, Co lumbia county's growth in this respect has been as great or greater than most of the counties of the state. There are some half a dozen counties in the state whose taxable property has decreased witnin tne past two years, oeing coun ties depending largely upon some one ' line of agriculture. The increase of wealth in this county is attributable to the development of the various re ouroes which the county possesses. Log ging and milling are two very important items in this respect, but we must not lose sight of tbe fact that agricultural pursuits have been receiving a fair . . j mu:- L . - dition of affairs has only just within re-1 pent years been receiving the attention I It l'erve ami warrants, ami we may rra-mialily expect ..much greater ft---''' in the next live yeart'Hii we j have wjoyed in the pa-t.

A very successful business man says there are four qualities he wants in his helpers: First, honesty; second, com mon sense; third, industry; fourth, so briety. "If you find a growthy fellow combining those four Qualities once in a six months' search you are doing pretty well," said this well-known business man to the Live Stock World. Contin uing, he said, "I do not want brilliant men they are aluiost certain to have some defects that more than offset bril liancy." Some one wisely says that "a quality greater than genius is the ability 1 10 plcx out a genius. ainny a pereuu 1 01 naturally email gins, out. n guuu I judge of humanity, bas made unbounded j success by the happy selection and wise retention ot aoie neipers, xveaiiv eiu cient help is very scarce.

Tub old liberty bell, the bell which rang out from the tower of Independence hall after the Ieclaration of Indepen dence was passed in 1776, was taken last week from Philadelphia to Charleston, S. C. Mayor Ashbridge, with several city councilmen and heads of depart me'nts and four stalwart policemen as official escort and guards, accompanied the bell on a special train. As the train carrying the bell started from the sta tion iu Philadelphia, a salute of twenty- one guns was fired at the League island navy yard. At many of the towns on the route crowds of people assembled to see the old hell nnd at some of these towns the trains stopped that the school children and others might get a sight of tne most tamous renc oi tne aays oi o. Tiik Mist believes that every man con nected in any wav with the administra tion of county affairs is an honorable man, or else he would not tie filling the position of trust he holds. Not only do we lielieve this to be the case, but we believe thateverybodyel.se in the county believes the same thinir. with the possi ble exception of one or two individuals who are seeeking to traduce the county officers. If we had no ether reason for believing this, the very successful way that public affairs have been conducted for the last few years would be sufficient .roof. Hucn accusations do no injury at mme. because they are regarded as the outcrowth of jealousy and anger, but when they go abroad irreparable injury is done to the whole and entire county. Thk repnblican state central com mittee has been called to meet in Port land on February 8th, at which time the ratio of representation and date for the state convention will be fixed. It is likely the convention will be called for April 10th or 12th, and the representa tion will be on the basis of one delegate for each 160 votes cast for the republi can presidential electors, in which event Columbia county will be entitled to eight delegates. Civilization is having its effect upon the Indian papoose as well as upon the warrior and medicine man. In a few years more there will be no more little full-blood babies, so fast is the extinct ion of the real race being accomplished. And when the redskin children are no more, then the West will note the ab sence of its most stoical little Ameri cans, the most picturesque of all babies. The output of lumber for the year 1901 in the state of Oregon was, as esti mated by the Oreeonian. some 938.565.- 000, being an increase over 1900 of 90, 000,000 feet, and over 1899, of 320,000, 000 feet. The value of the 1901 cut'was 18,948,900. the cut of 1900 was valued at 8,K02.600, and the cut ol isyy at 16,228,260. Multnomah countv cut 300, 000,000 feet, valued at 12,700,000. The demand for shingles, says the Co lumbia River Timbertuan, is the great est ever known at this time of the year, coupled with a great scarcity. Prices are stiffening daily, and there is every prospect of higher prices throughout the year than obtained in 1901, which was the most satisfactory year in the shingle trade for a number of years. The experience of voters who failed to register two years ago will most likely cause many more of them to reg ister this year. The registration law is not popular. It entails a great deal of trouble, expense and confusion, but it is the law, and all voters musL register H they wish to vote.

"Some time ago toy daughter caught a severe cold. She complained of pains in her chest and had a bad cough. I gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days sue was wen and aoie to go to scnool. I have used this remedy in my family for the past seven yers and have never known it to fail," says Jane Prender gast, merchant, Annato Bay, Jamaica, West India islands. The painB in the chest indicated an attack of pneumonia, which in this instance was undoubtedly warded off by Chamberlain's Cough Keniedy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumonia.

From various sources, it is learned that the December production of gold in Baker, Grant, Malheur and Union counties was the biggest of any month in the history of Eastern Oreeon. Con servative figures show the cleanups of the principal mines as follows: Bo nanza, $80,000; Bed Boy, 100.000; Co lumbia, $80,000; Virtue, fW.OW; iNurtn Pole, $50,000; Quebec, $10,000; Connor creek, 160,000; Cornucopia, sioouuu Flagstaff. $5000: Robbins-Elkhorn,6000 or a total of $475,000 from 220 stamps. The gold fields of Eastern Oregon produced during the summer the not insignticant sum of half a million dollars in gold. This is at tbe rate of $6,000,000 a year. Eastern Oregon is today one of the safest and largest gold producing districts in the 1'ncitic northwest, lav ing successfully passed the boom period she is now gettng down to a producing basis that makes her the pride ot Oregon, and a substantial contributor to the great wealth of the state Finds Way to Live Long. The startling announcement of a dis covery that will surely lengthen life is made by Editor O. H. "Downey, of Chu rubusco, Ind. "I wish to state," he writes, "that Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption is the most infallible remedy that l have ever known lor coujjis, colds, and grip. It's invaluhle to people with weak lungs. Having this wonderful medicine no one need dread pneumonia or consumption. Its relief is instant and cure certain.

An increase of $24,000,000 In the assessed valuation of all the property in the state, as compared with last year, is shown by the assessment summaries for 1901. filed in the office of the secretary of state. Owing to an increase of about 1500,000 in the exemptions, the net in crease in the value of taxable property is now xi41,3H,r)13.U6 as against HI; , 804,874.13 in .1000. The total valuation is now higher than it has been in five vears before. There is an increase in the total value of every class of prop erty except tillable land, which shows a decrease of - $2,000,000. This decrease is more than made up by the increase on what is called non-tillable land, which has gaiued $8,000,000. Among tne classes ot property which show heavy increases are street railway beds, which have doubled in assessed valua tion, merchandise, which has increased iL.30U.00U; town and citv lots, which have grown in value $7,500,000, and im provements on city lots, winch show an increase of $3,500,000. CASTOR I A lor Infants and Children. The Kind You. Have Always Bought Bears the Signature Will Do Business In Oregon. Three Wisconsin timber men who are now in Portland, as representatives of Eastern capitalists, have been during the past few months, inspecting several bodies of timber in Oregon and Wash ington with a view of purchasine. In speaking of their plans one of the men said: "VVe will invest probably consid erably more than $500,000 in timber lands and sawmills on the Pacific coast. and a large part of it will come to Ore gon. We have inspected considerable timber land on the Columbia and Mc Kenzie rivers, and have .found it to be desirable in every way for our purposes. At this time I cannot state with any degree of certainty when active opera tions win oe comment-en, Dut l can say that we are not buying the land for speculation. We intend to develop our noiaings ourselves, and to that end shal begin work shortly after the deals are completed. In addition to our Oregon enterprise we expect to acqujre holdings in California, though not in the red wood district. We are already engaged in logging and marketing Washington timber, but not on as large a scale as will be our operations in Oregon. Sew Century Comfort.
