The state central republican com mittee and the second congressional dis trict committee will hold meeting in Portland tomorrow (Saturday) to make nrelimlnarv arramremente for the ar nnmclilnir camDaiirn.

The countie in Eastern and Southeastern Oregon turned in 77.002 out of the total of 64,644 for the entire state. The 8 per cent discount offered to tax- osvera for their early response to the call to pay will undoubtedly have most salutary effect npon tbe county exchequer. If your tax ia paid on or before the 15th of March there will be a 8 per cont discount allowed you, and to the heavy tax-payers thia will mean considerable of an item. For Instance, in the case of the Northern reclne Kail wr.y Company, thi will mean a saving of ilOU or more. Tbe tax roll for the present year will soon be ready for delivery to the sheriff.

We are pleased, aa should be every farmer in the upper part of Nehalem val ley, to learn that Mr. J. E. Dow, of Ver noma, ha purchased a cream separator and intends to engage in the practical, scientific manufacture of- butter. Un doubtedly Mr. Dow will be glad to re ceive all the milk that will be taken to hia place. Tbe farmer can find a prof itable market for the milk, and a doxen cows, properly cared for, will yield a nanusome income every montn. Never before in tbe history of the county aince tbe aalary system has been in operation, were tbe receipts for a sin gle month aa large as they were daring the month of January of thia year. The total receipts for that month lacked 61 centa of being $400. $384.85 of which waa for recording and court fee. Land redemption for the month amounted to but $14.64. There ia a great volume of business now being handled in that of fice, as the receipts would indicate. Two laree alelah load of people went from here to Warren laat Sunday even ing to attend church. The trip there and return wa made without accident until one of the aleieha waa back in our city, when the vehicle waa overturned and its content deposited in the anow. Assessor White wa one of the passen gers, and a a reault, he la nursing a very lame right arm. Martin insist that hia arm is not out of place, but we have no positive proof that hi arm wa not out of place during the journey. If there i ever an occasion for holding the ladies in a vehicle it ia when a crowd i sleigh riding at night, and Martin may be using thle tip-over affair a a ruse for having a lam arm. Clrentt Court.

Laat Saturday evening a number of person from thi city went to Rainier to witness the dramatic production of "Naval Engagements" and the operatic production of the "Rose of Anvergne," two pleasing productions by home talent. The drama wa played from a unique plot, and a it title signified, there were many engagements, quite spirited at times, but disastrous at no time. J. K. Bourne, as "Admiral King ston," sustained bis character well at every point, while Frank Sheffield, a "Lieutenant Kingston," played hia part in a most pleasing manner. Miss Allle Perry and Mr. Hheeirn, as the hero ine, helped make matter interesting during the engagements, and abowed much aptitude In their role on the stage. Fred Trow, the inn keeper, and A. L Clark, the Irieh waiter, were char acters calculated to add mirth to the oc casion, and certainly they played their roles well. The affair, from a atand- point of amusement, wss all that could have been desired, and the large audi ence evidenced it intense appreciation by the frequent outbursts ol vigorous applause. The afterpiece.the "Rose of Auvergne," an operatic production with three char acters, waa greatly appreciated. Tbe Meears. J. K. and J. B. E. Bourne and Miss Jackson constituted the cast and their efforts proved highly successful. Both their singing and acting were the acme of perfection. Altogether, the entertainment waa decided success, no less so financially than otherwise, and the people of Rainier may well feel proud of its talent. Mr. A. L. Clark oresided at the piano during tbe rendi tion of tbe opera, and displayed credit able ability in her effort. A Projected New Enterprise. Special to Thx Mist. Clatsx.mib, Feb. 5.

Mr. Ellen Deed, living down the river, in tbe Peterson neighborhood, was thought to be dangerously ill the latter part of last week, but at present writing there are hopes of her recovery. Lon Emmons, who has been in the smallpox hospital at Portland for the past month, came home Saturday last, having made a good recovery. O. B. Malmsten has moved with hia effect to the Rldgway farm, recently purchased by hia father. E. E. Nickeraon and wife are making arrangement to go out to Meserve' log ging camp, at Delena, where they will each take work. Grandma Nickeraon and Mr. Rice have both been indisposed during tbe past two week. Lindsay & Morton, of the St. Helena Meat Co., were in the valley the first of laat week after aome of our fine beef cattle. They purchased a number of bead from A. U. Powell, of Pittsburg. J. E. Dow took a trip ont to Houlton Thursday of laat week with dairy prod ucts, thence on to Portland Friday, and invested a cool $100 in a U. S. cream separator. Mr. Dow ia now prepared to do bis creamery work in flrst-clasi style. He says the separator will pay for itself in one year by tbe saving of cream and the better product be can put on tbe market. It paya to do thinga well. Clarence Palmer' lynx wa not a lynx at all, but an old-fashioned raccoon. The boys are poking just a little bit of fun at Clarence, and he aaya he ha seen black coon before, but they were not four legged one. Our hunter have been successful in getting a few mountain sheep and some wildcats, and John Baker captured a bear, all by mmsell, Tbursday ot last week. It waa a three hundred-pounder, fat aa batter, and had a fine pelt. Since the latter is worth about $30, John is of the belief tbat it paid better than to haul bay tbat day, aa he had intended doing. Two of our boy tracked a sheep several noura one aay last weex, nnany running i tuw biie river, um wm, where another hunter shot and killed it, not knowing other were pursuing it. Ruddeman Bros, and Dave Kaye, who have been operating a ahingle mill four miles above Mist, have iust purchased, in Detroit, Mich., a Lang machine, that will cut 40,000 ahingle a day. they are now negotiating for the Smith & Thoma aawmill. which, if they make the deal, will give them cower to run the new ahingle machinery, and they will also cut lumber lor tbe local traae.

U.nA Tluul. k.a hoan at. tending school in Portland, coma into the valley, by way of Olatskanie, last Friday, having been caned oy telegram to the bedside of their sick mother, Mrs. Deed. Mrs. Hatfield finishes np a three and a half montha term of school in tbe Tucker district this week. Next week he will be in St. Helen as one of the board of examinere for the teachers. Then ahe will have a vacation, after which ahe will begin (February 24) a three month's term of school in the Ridgway district. No father, no mother that little bit of road from the west line of tne old Davidson place on Bridge atreet, east to foot of the Spencer hill. Firat tbe city council thought it belonged to the city and waa going to rebuild the bridge at the east end, out it was found to not be on the city plat. Then the county, through Commissioner Case, took the matter np, even going so far as to let tbe contract, when it waa loona that it naa never been aurveyed as a county road. So it stands simply aa a piece of vacant land. But there is a movement on foot now and a petition ha been circulated to establish this aa a county road and to change the road from the foot ot tne mn to Adams' bridge, making it to follow around the brow of tbe hill, instead of going over it aa it doea at present, lhis win get ria oi a oaa nui at rjoin enas. Rome at our nnnnle are arambllng a little because of the tiigh per cent of taxes, 33 mills, which the county court has made for Columbia county. But, gentlemen, you want also to look at our very low assessment, which will make our taxes low as compared with other counties. Aa an illustration, M and R are neighbors. M lives in Columbia county; K Uvea in Washington county. Thev each own 160 acres of land and have equal improvements. They also have each about the aame personal prop erty. Laat year M's tax waa $14. while R'l waa $23. It doea not take any fig uring to see which man paya the less, and these are actual figures, except the odd cents in each case. So Columbia is ahead quite a little, for he not only has the lower lax, but ia out oi oeDi. At a recent meeting of Vernonia Grange No. 305.

Hereafter it will be necessary for every nurseryman and florist in the state 01 wasnington to give nonua the sum of $1000 before he will be per mitted to engage in business. ine De positing of auch bond will entitle the depositor to a license. In the event that nurserymen sen iniectea bioce ami that stock is held no bv the inspectors. should the nurserymen refuse to pay the cost of disinfection or destroying the stock, the bond will be forfeited and tne state will be at no expense. The law la a great protection to two of the chief industries of the state, horti culture and floriculture. It gives the horticultural commissioner aome hold on the growers and enablea him to keep the country free, at least to a large ex tent, of the peat which destroy the fruit and thus cripple tne resources oi the country.

Some time ago the Cathlamet Gazette published an article regarding the Northern Pacific entering the bound aries of Waukiakum county, Wash., and making Frankfort or Uatblamet Its ter minus. A few of its contemporiea, whose editor do not get out to learn what ia going on along the river, classed the item a a "pipe dream," which was an excuse to their readera for not rus tling the new. But it now transpire that the dream will prove to be true. The fact are tbat the Northern Pacific sur veyors have been at work for the oast three month between Pe 1, which is located on the South bend branch, and tbe headwaters of Gray'a river. On her laat down trip before the freeze, the Bailey Gatzert took three tons of sup plies to Skamokawa for the Northern Pacific construction Company, which will be taken to the surveyors who are located somewhere on Gray' river. Aa to what point they will strike the Co lumbia is yet unknown to tbe public- Cat blame t Gazette. . I. Q. Wlkstrom received a new log ging engine from Portland last Tuesday, and took advantage of the anow in pull ing it out to hia mill. It is a 9x11 latest improved, and will be nsed for yarding purposes. This, in addition to what he formerly had will enable Mr. Wikstrom to cover a radiu oi one ana one-nan mile. He purchased a tine tract of tim ber land thia week from Mr. Hageman and ia constantly enlarging tbe capacity of hia lumber business. Kalama Bul letin. Mr. William Goat, member of Ka lama Aaaemby No. 88, United Artisans, who has been visiting at uapi. uore a ranch, in the north end of town, seems to have over-stayed hi welcome. Tbe genial captain aaya that William' man ners are beastly.' and that bis appetite is ont of all proportion to his size. He devored a set of harness and a curry comb for the captain, and ate up a pair rubber boots belonging to Bob Harrison. William Goat seems to think that all clothes hung on the clothesline are for him and he devours fresh milk like a creamery.

Cap tain Gore eaya he would like to have William quarantined. Kalama Bulletin The Astoria News is authority for the nty Wil statement that Contractor Willis, of tbat city, has received a contract from the Northern Pacific to build a $6,000 hotel at Kalama. Also that the same company will construct a bridge acroe the Columbia at tbat place. While there may be some truth in tbe former statement, there ia certainly nothing in tbe latter, aa plan are being perfected for the construction of a bridge at Van couver. The Northern Pacific own a great deal of real estate at Kalama, and the erection of a large hotel would be a good scheme to dispose of it at a good figure.
