Josenh Snook and family, of Newton.
Iowa, arrived here last week on their
way to JNehalem valley, to visit Mrs.
Snook's sister, Mrs. Joseph Beed, whom
' aha had nnr. hah fnr HavanteAn vaara.
The now arrivals came with a possibility
of locating ana making Mint part ot me
.country their home, but the condition
of the roads disgusted theut, and after a
brief visit they will seea a location else
where. With the climate they were
favorably impressed, as the mercury
stood nt 22 lielow aero when they left
Iowa.
The road to the Nehalem Valley from
Astoria is in an exceediuitly bad and
lnngarotiH condition at the present, and
only safe for travel when the greatest
care Is exercised, says the Budget. Mrs.
Tuylor, who carries the mail from out
there, on horseback, had a very annleas
ant experience a day or two ago. When
near the seven-mile post her horse got
mired, and with the assistance of sev
eral men and horses it was found im
possible to extricate it, and it was (onnd
; necessary to shoot it. There are some
. bad, bad roads in Columbia county, but
nothing like this, we hope.
A few night ago th Astoria west
bound night train had a narrow escape
from collision with the .Northern
FaulAo I'ort laud-bound express. The
Astoria train have the right-of-way on
the Northern' (track between Uoble
and Portland. A few nlgkM ago the
Northern was ate BHttinir into Uoble
from the Sound, aim ireeelved order to
wait at a nearby station until the Astoria
train pnased. The engineer I reported
to have Ignored the order, with the re
sult tliaff the two train were on the
aame track, running In opposite direc
tions. The Astoria train's engineer nrst
realised the predicament In which both
train had -been placed and at once
beiran runnlnir backward. The North
ern train kept coming, however, bat the
engineer Dually slowed down. When
the Northern came to a iinnusuu tuere
was not more than a yard between the
two pilots. The close shave ha been
kept quiet by the railroad companies.
Hereafter, no doubt, the Northern train
crews will be required ito observe more
caution.
The piano used last Saturday evening
at the ball, on Hie occasion of the dra
matic and operatic performances by the
Bainlor people, was generoualy supplied
by Messrs. Wallace & Mover, of this city,
the only Instrument dealer on the
Columbia rlvor, north of Portland. The
instruments handled oy these gentlemen
are the famous Clough & Warren make,
and are considered to equal any instru
ment on the market today, and certainly
ttioae who heard the tone and saw the
finish of the piano could not help being
favorably , Impressed with it. These
gentlmnen have, on numerous occasions,
furnished limtrumeuta for aimilar occa
sion, and osw people should encourage
their presence by examinuag tneir goous
and buying of tlieni when purchase in
that line are made.
"Where will the Northern Pacific cross
to reach Astoria when ita Vancouver
bridge is finished?" said Judge Bow Iby,
of Astoria, a few day ago, while in a
reflective jnood that waa neither opti
mistic nor pessimistic "Will it aban
don its Kalama ferry?" The propriety
of crossing nt Oray's bay and using the
Kalama ferrv boat waa uinreted. ''But
Charley Stone aays they are repairing
the road bed between Uoble and fort
land in a most substantial manner,"
continued the reflective fhilosphur.
"The idea of crossing at Oray's bay is
an old one and it may be that will be its
direct route to Astoria. But why are they
making such a solid road bed on the
Uoble route?" and the veteran Astoria
railroad builder went away musing.
Astoria News.
Maurita Carr, proprietor of the Oregon
Creamery Butter factory, of Fisbhawk,
was in Astoria a few days ago, and to a
newspaper reporter of that city haa this
to say of hlmi "He rode seventeen
miles over the mountains to Clatskanie,
and there took the train for Aatoria,
Mr. Carr has traded, via Mist, with
Kverdinir A Farrell. of Portland, for a
nn art Hr of a eenturv. sending the Drod
uct of his creamery to that firm. He
now ditals with Foard & Stokes Co.. in
Astoria. Hi chanire to this place is
due to having a son in the Astoria high
school. Fishhnwk la forty miles from
Astoria by the Nehalem road. It Is live
miles Irom Mist. The first-class wagon
road to Astoria will turn many traders
to this point."
Over In Cowlitz county, Wash., they
are preparing lor politic, too, anu oi
tho matter the Kalaiua Bulletin says;
At the oresent outlook, this season s
crop of political aspirant for office will
be. as usual, sufficient to see that the
county's business, as well as the affairs
ot the state, win tie lonicea alter. i'i
course there are not officers in the field
yet, but there's a sufficient number of
good, loyal cituena who are willing to
sacrifice themselves, if necessary, i
order to see that the affairs of the county
are atteudeU to right."

in Appreciated Entertainment.
The entertainment given In this city
last Saturday evening by the Rainier
local talent dramatic club was a com
plete success (n every particular. We
have on another occasion spoken sepa
rately ol the personnel of the club, and
will speak only of generalities at this
time. Our honest conviction is that the
several part were rendered better in
our city than waa the case when the
company appeared before its home aud
ience. This is the case notwithstanding
the fact that away from home there are
always unlooked-for obstacles to over
come. A large house greeted the play
ers, the net proceeds being (31.60, which
is to be donated to the Rainier Pythian
Building Association. Shonld the Rain
ier club decide to come to our city nt
any future time we know they wilt be
greeted by a large audience.

8. F. Ballard was out to Clackamas
county last week after dairy stock. He
bought a bunch of hia brother-in-law,
Mr. Ambrose Patch, which they brought
in the Drat vf tills week. This makes
Mr. Ballard a herd of about fifteen good
milkers. It is his intention to go into
the dairy bualness in good shape. He
will put in a separator during the com
ing summer or fall. Dairying In the
Nehalem, if done right, will pay. and
we trust more of our farmers will get
into it. Even with only six to ten good
cow and a separator a net income of
from 76 cont to $1 a day can be realised
from the butter alone, to aay nothing of
by-products and increase in stock.
John Baker, Tell Soule, Chaa. A.
Malmsten and Emery Sheeley were
viewing out a road last week, east from
the Adams bridite to Scaopoose. They
say they can locate a moat excellent
roate, with only one or two bridgea to
build and a grade at no place greater
than 8 per cent. They came out into
the South Scappoose creek road, the
distance from Vernonla to Scappoose
being only about sixteen miles. As
quite a number of claims have been lo
sated east of here within the past year,
a county road along thia route ia not
among the impossibilities within the
next vear or so. and it ia the very best
outlet for a railroad to the Nehalem. It
would probably get rid of tunneling.

on the liberality of the county commis
sioners, and their kind-heartedness to

Cunning Prisoner Escape from Sheriff
HaUan Laat Friday.
Sheriff Hattan 110 lonner has half the
faith In humanity that he possessed last
Friday. The cause of this sudden
change of heart was brought about try
the action of a man who baa been a
prisoner less than a quarter of an hour.
Our readers will recall to mind an
Item In our last Issue which referred to
some of our rural neighbor conducting
themselves in a very strange way in re
gard to their keen interest in the cattle
which were roaming the range. It
seems that there has been a very gen
eral observance of the law practiced in
regard to taking up and taking care of
stray animal by some of the denizens
of the Bunker hill region, and people
from other parts of the surrounding
country did not wholly ' approve or
heartily appreciate such kindnesses, and
a successful effort was made last week,
resulting in locating some of these stray
antmals and restoring them to tbetr
proper owners.

promptly settled in the justice court,
and later bv tbe issuance out of that
court of a writ commanding the sheriff

Kenowski. These individuals came to
town last Friday afternoon, leaving their
horses at Houlton. At the supper table
at tbe hotel, Sheriff Hattan quietly
stepped in and read the contents of the
official document and requested the
men to consider themselves his prisoners.
There waa no sign of wrath or appar
ent discomfiture manifested, and the
three settled down to a matter-of-fact
businesslike conversation in regard to
an attorney, mode of proceedings, etc.
A lew moments later tne trio starteu
for tbe sheriff's office, and when at the
corner of the atreet, Kenowski excused
himsell lor a moment to step to tne rear
of a building, tbe sheriff and other
prisoner steoDinir ud behind him, being
all the time engaged In conversation,
and after two or three momenta wait
ing, the sheriff called to Kenowski, but
there was no response. A hasty inspec
tion revealed the fact that Kenowski
had suddenly departed; and his where
abouts yet remain an unsolved mystery,
although a diligent search has been
maintained ever since by the officer.
Kenowski waa at Ellison's place, on

Hattan la more provoked to mow mat

MAN IN THE WRONG TOWN.
Passenger Mistakes Honlton for Pert-
land Delayed Several Hear.
It ha been bnt a short time since a
rather amnsinv as arell as nrovokintr in
cident occured at Houlton, the result of
lealousv and the circulation ot untrue re
ports in regard to the metropolis 01 Ore
gon. A Northern train, Douna lor rort
land, whizzed into Houlton a few hours
late. It bore a passenger lately irom
the East, who bad spent a few days in
Seattle, where the people endeavored to
impress him that theirs was the only
city on the Pacific coast. He waa told
that Portland was a little hole in the
woods, the one principal street being
lighted by dingy, balf-cared-for coal oil
lamps, and where everybody remained
indoors of evenings for fear of being de
voured by a wild beast. He had also
received this impression in the East
from reading Seattle papers, but he was
determined to see Portland before he
chose bis permanent place of residence
on the coast.
When the train was neanng Houlton
the brakeman thrust his bead into the
cab door and shunted in a half-audible
way. "Houlton." The passenger under
standing it to have been "Portland,"
grabbed his grip and alighted 'on the
platform. Asking a byatanaer to ue
directed to the best hotel in the city, he
was taken to Landlord Mattbewa' hos
telry, where arrangements were made
for his care during the niirht. and next
day his heart's desire to view the city of
Portland was to be gratified. Not much
time bad elapsed, however, until the
mistake was discovered, when tbe situ
ation became changed entirely. The
next day the tourist proceeded to Port
land, found large, beautiful city, be
came impressed with the place, wrote to
beattle lor hi trunks, ana is perma
nently located in Portland, where he
has engaged in business. His spare
momenta he devotes to writing articles
for Eastern newspapers, praising Port
land and the rest of Oregon, and con
demning Seattle for it licentious atti
tude toward Portland.
DEIjUNA SCHOOL.
Beautiful Surroundings ef a Bearer
Tailey School-hoase.
Tha rnmnl nninher of tha Oreson
Teacher's Monthly, published in Salem,
contained the following complimentary
notice of one of Columbia county's
schools, which we deem worthy of re
producing. "Tbe Delena. Columbia county, achool
recently completed the clearing of a
third of an acre of laud lying in front
of the school grounds, and between the
county road and Beaver creek, the
land was given oy Mrs. mi ran rueaerve
to the school for park, and upon it
the pupils have planted every variety of
deciduous and evergreen tree and shrubs
indigenous to this section of Oregon,
together with six varieties of Eastern
deciduous trees. The park, which is
a small botanical garden, now contains
thirtv-ane varieties of tree and shrubs.
and it is the intention of the school to
further beautify it by planting roses and
other flowerino shrubs. Dlants and vines.
but before this planting can be done the
Dark will have to be fenced, which the
school expect to do next winter.
In addition to clearing the park,
which haa been done during the two
last terms, the entire school yard has
been cleared by the efforts of the pupils
and the teachers who have taught in
this achool, the work having been car
ried on during the past six years. Only
those familiar with Oregon timber land
can realise the amount ot work that haa
been accomplished by the Delena school
In clearing their yard and park, for the
land had been covered with heavy
growth of four and five-foot fir and
cedar trees, which had been logged off,
Ipftvlnn the irronnd covered with stumps.
refuse logs and tops. Some of tbe cedar
stump were so large that it took more
than a week to uurn mem um, ioi
all the work was done at recess and
noons, thouarh some was done before
school time, by the early arriving pupils,
while the firs, though large as the cedars,
could be burned more quickly, for they
could be bored with ao augur and fired
in tho center. The erounds have been
seeded to grass, and shade tree have
been planted along the roadside, in ad'
dltlou to those planted in tne para.
' Last apring the school received a set
ot fine historical pictures from the
Youth's Companion, aa a recognition
from that paper for their work of beau
tifying their school grounds, and to pro
cure money with which to purchase
irauiua fur "the picture and to procure
other ornaments for the school room,
tbe boy took the contract to supply the
wood for this term of achool. Yet with
all thl extra work tbe pupil in thia
school rank as high In itheir studies a
do those of any other school in tbe
county, for their pride in the school has
been an incentive to harder study.
The Delena achool, in addition to ita
handsome grounds, has a fine building
furnished with thirty single, adjustable
desks, globe, dictionary, etc., and a
ninety-foot flag pole for the flag. When
a bell can be bad for tbe belfry this
school expects to rank with tbe best
country school of Oregon."
