There are six Granges in the county, and tbe organisation is becom ing very popular. Its purpose is to promote the interests of tbe farming lament. A worthy undertaking. Ths game warden was circulating In these parts a fuw days last week, having ths prenumptous impudence to suspect our good people of disregarding the game law Ty shooting a ferocious deer, flay, Paulina j nary a disregard. Maybe some ol the weiubars ol the city Cod and liuu clubs have been guilty of slight infec tions of the code in this respect bnt we are almost certain that none ol our lion est farmers would transgress the laws in so important a matter. Whether or not they have, none were "caught In the act," and they ars at least innocent un til proven guilty. The stats central republican com mittee met In Portland last Haturday and made arrangements for opening the approaching campaign. The committee called for a state convention to be held tn Portland on Wednesday, April 2, and reoommeuded that the several county central committees call the precinct pri maries for Saturday, March 22, and tbe oounty conventions for Saturday, March 2Mb. Ths apportionment of delegates to the state convention was based on the vote cast for presidential electors, giving this county seven delegates, as there were 00 votes cast in this oounty for republican presidential electors at the November election In 1900. The repre- eontation was made for one delegate at large and one delegate for each 160 votes cost, aud for the major fraction t'lereol. Dr. H.

The article published in last week's is sue of this paper created quite an inter est among the residents of the lower river and no doubt railroad talk will be the order of the day, aays the Cathlamet Uaxette. bince the article appeared we have been reliably Informed that the O. U. A N. is also interested in the move ments of the N. P., and last Saturday sent a representative on the ground to see what Is being done. This party spent Sunday In Cathlamet. and will no doubt remain on tbe ground nntii be learns toe movements ol toe in . r. sur veyors, who are now in the field. It will be remembered that about two years ago the O. R. ft N. had a survey made along the North shore, but appar ently dropped the matter. It now seems mat ute project naa not been soamionea, but that tbe N. P. will not have Its own way in ths territory but will have to con tend with the O. R. A N. Some inter esting developments can be looked for in the near tuture. Revival meetings at Houlton are con tinuing with increased interest. Ten persons have professed conversion and eleven others have stood op for prayer.

Nelson Hovt. one of the earliest set- tlnra nl this minntv. died in Astoria last Saturday night, after a lingering illness of a number of years, with a complica tion of diseases, at the extreme age of nearly 80 years. In 1847 decased came to this coast, settling on Scappoose bay, where he resided until 1884. when, on account of illness of his wife, the elderly couple removed to Astoria, where, soon after, Mrs. Hoyt oiea. wiring , ut. Hovt's residence tn this county he was elected to the state legislature, serving one term. He was otherwise promi nently identified witn tne eariy History of this county. There were eight chil dren, those surviving the father being Margaret Pickering, ol rortlana ; tiaran Stephenson, of Los Angelea.Cal.; Anna McComae, of Mesa, Aria. ; F. M. Hoyt, of Warren; Olive Winton, of Astoria. Ths remains of Mr. Hoyt were brought up from Astoria to Houlton Tuesday, there taken charge of by the Masonic fraternity and conveyed to the Germany bill cemetery, wbere they were laid to rest beside those ol the wtle. Deceased was the oldest member of the local lodge of Masons oldest in Masonio years. A new rule In regard to the collection of road poll tax goes into effect this spring. For a year or two the sum of $3 has been charged on the tax roll against every male taxpayer aubject to payment of road tax. and the same was collected by the sheriff, but this year there will be no Doll road tax charged on the roll. Instead, the road supervisors have been supplied with blank receipts, signed by the county clerk and bearing the seal of the county, one to be Issued in lieu of cash paid, or if ths individual desires to work out his road tax, and re ceive from the supervisor a similar re ceipt Issued in lieu of labor. Every receipt sent out to the supervisor is charged against him at the rate of tS each, and upon the filing of this report he la given credit for $3 for each returned receipt signed by the Individual taxpayer and $3 dollars each for the unused receipts, hence, his acoount with tbe oounty is kept tree from error and the supervisor is held strictly to an accounting with the county It la the duty of the super visor to cause each male person In his district, liable under the law, to pay 3 road poll tax, either in cash or labor, both transient and permanent residents. Constable J. B. Godfrey returned Tuesday evening from the vicinity of Bunker hill, w lilt her he had gone, armed with s warrant for ths arrest of thres head of cattle. In ths care and keeping of Gerhart Moreback. Mr. S. T. Alexander, of Oohle, accompanied the constable, as he claimed to be the owner ol two of ths animals. The cat tle were brought to this city and held the required number of days which ths law allows for replevin proceedings to lie instituted. Mr. Alexander claims that Moreback drove the cattle from their haunts, near (Joule, to bis place at Bunker hill, Mr. A. Neer proved his claim to one of the animals, and the Jentleuien filed a bill of damages against foreback to tbe amount of t60. The costs In the matter aggregated $46, and the affair thus far has been "aqnared." There may be another chapter added to this story, that will help awell tbe list ol proceedings of the next term of circuit court. There is said to basonslderable stock at tbe Moreback preserve. Ths snorting, bell ringing and whist ling of the locomotives on tbe other aide of tne river Indicates that construction work on the Vaucouver-Kalama road la concentrated chiefly at the Lewis river crossing. Freight trains ars running regularly over the road, crossing Lewis river by ferry. Tbe work of establish-' ing the foundations of ths piers of ths bridge is slow, on account of the shifting nature of tbe bed of tbe stream. The pivot pier of the draw Is requiring the most attention. Long piles are sunk in to tbe bed of ths river. Upon these ths pier is building. Tbe drew will be about 260 feet long and the entire bridge 800 feet. It will be entirely of steel. Sev eral trestles along the road ars being nuea in. Ths work of copying ths contents of ths sasessment rolls Into the tax roll was completed last Monday evening, and the clerks ars now bustling themselves with the work of extending the amount of tax dun from each individual. This is tbe tedious part of tbe work, as each separate tax state, school, road, special school and county tax has to be com puted and extended. Just as soon sa the sheriff can gain access to tbe roll be will notify tha tavnaver nf the imnnnt of bis tax, and all who pay before Marco ioui win oe auowea a percent discount. It will be several days yet be fore tbe roll is ready. The county school superintendent is conducting teachers' examination this week In tliis city, with not a very large class in attendance.

Three tons of supplies have arrived in tnis city in transit to tnis force, it was shipped fromTscoma by the construction department of the Northern Pacific rail road with all charges prepaid. Some of tbe engineers have recently been mak ing extensive soundings of ths river near Cathlamet. The prospects for the lumber business are very encouraging at present, aa the demand is constantly increasing. Tbe largo mills of Portland are putting on double shifts and preparing to run day and night in order to meet the demand that cornea Irom ualtiornia. me fort land manufacturers, however, complain of small profits in their businesa, aa compared witb eastern manufacturers, and aay further that their profits do not average $1 per thousand feet. Countv Surveyor Little returned from Portland a few days ago, where be bad been in the hospital, being treated for lung trouble. His physician- advisee him to go at once to another climate.
