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.

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

Stephenson, of Los Angelea.Cal.; Anna
McComae, of Mesa, Aria. ; F. M. Hoyt,

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,

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

claim to one of the animals, and the

Ths snorting, bell ringing and whist
ling of the locomotives on tbe other aide

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

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.
