nnuaid county warrant in thi Issue.
On the IU tli of last July a call waa
made for all unpaid county warrants,

Tn this Issue will be found a list of the
real eitate transaction for the county
for the month of January, the volume
of which will at once Impress the reader
that a (treat deal of land is changing

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. Mr. T. C. Watts.
of Reuben, is the state central commit
teeman, for thi county, ana Mr. u. w.
Barnes, of Oulncv. ia the congressional
committeeman for thi county. Both
will attend the meeting. ;
Thi state. In obedience to the fcalo
law, has paid for 84,044 scalp aince the
law waa approved in February last year.
Harney county tnrned In 14,4(16 scalp,
the greatest number of any county,
while Polk turned in but 17 scalps. Co
lumbia county turned In 210. Clatsoo
208, Tillamook 661, Washington 82. 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.
The roll are being copied and tbe tax
extended Just a rapidly aa competent
hand can compile the data. There
were twenty-eight echool district which
levied special tax, beside the city of
1F..-....I. -,l.lk .In laulal .nuodl
and all these extra have to be com
puted for the respective diatrict or city,
increasing the volume of labor in the
preparation of the tax roll.
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

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

may be using thle tip-over affair a a
ruse for having a lam arm.

Vanvolkinburg, deceased, in 1840, in
Wabash county, Ind. In trying to bet
ter their condition in life, they made a
good many changes of residence, until
they finally settled in Columbia county,
Oregon, on a homestead, September

"Naval Engagements."
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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. The report, however, i new to
the people of Kalama.
