THE VALUE OP SUCCESS.
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

A very successful business man says
there are four qualities he wants in his
helpers: First, honesty; second, com

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

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

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

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,

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.

Gold Fields of Oregon.
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

Finds Way to Live Long.
The startling announcement of a dis

wonderful medicine no one need dread
pneumonia or consumption. Its relief

An Increase in Valuations.
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.

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.

The earth has never been placed in

proximate weight has been calculated.
The first scientist to work out the prob
lem. was I'rotessor Aiamceiene, wno, in
XlTly by repeated experiments, deter
mined that the attraction exerted by
Mount Schihallion, in Perthshire, Scot
land, caused the. plumb line to deviate
toward the mountain nearly six seconds
from the perpendicular. Then other
Philosophers Playfair, Cavendish and
utton determined tbe structure of
Schihallion and placed the density of
that mountain in proportion to the den
sity of the earth as 6 to 9. Then the
comparative densities of the earth and
water, which are atxiut f!-4 to 1 ; that Is,
if a cubic foot of water weighs 63 pounds.
a cubic foot of earth will weigh about
345 pounds. The cubic contents of the
earth was ascertained, and from that its
weight was calculated at 5842 trillions of
