P HOFF i COUKTT rtlK. a matter that should interest the peo ple of this county is the movement set on foot at the recent session of Pomona Grange for the organization of a county .;. anei jtion. It is the opinion of the farmers and of many business men that the best interests of the county would be materially advanced by such an or aniaation. A committee has been ap- iA and will shortly beein work 1odk this line, the first requisite being pledges of money for stock in such asso. i.tinn. The Colombia County Fair A.uv'ution sill be orzanixed, a meeting mIImI. and the rdace for holding the lair determined upon. The sentiment at the Pomona seemed to favor a spot niria-av between St. Helens and Hool tnn. where it is nudersteod land will Ar.ntiA far anch a Dnrnose.

Rainier may have some knocker", but he worst .knock it ever received was when a hired thug assaulted a man hose only offense was that he insisted ihat saloon keepers had no special li cense to violate the law. Mr. 0. A. Kappell, of Rainier, has written the following letter to the Ore goniao : RAINIER, Or., May 6 To the Edi tor) I, as an American citizen and one of the unfortunate saloon keepers at Rainier, read in the Oregonian of the assault on Mr. Fischer. I wish to slate to the public that I baye had my share of abuee, but I have never degraded my- eelf by hiring t bugs to commit a uur. deroua assault. I can conscientiously say from the bottom of my heart that not a member of the Liquor Dealers Association would lower themselves to such a degree. Hoping the law will deal justly and punish the guilty one, 1 am, 0. A. KAFELL. It sounds good, and we are willing to believe that Mr. Kapell bad no know ledge of the assault; but we do not re member that he or any other of the saloon men took any active part in se rnrinu the arrest of the thuff. or contri- vote J buted any part of the reward offered for nis capture, me saioon evpra m Rainier are "unfortunate" only because they have set themselves in open defi ance of the law and have threatened those who opposed them. At least one saloon keeper in Rainier made threats in 1st. Helens and Houlton as to what would happen to those who opposed them. It is ridiculous to assume that tbelbug acted on bis own initiative. He cared no more for Mr. Fischer than for any other human being, and w ould as soon commit murder as to do any other criminal job. He was hired by some one and it is only reasonable to auppore that the person putting up the money wa in the liquor business. The reepoosibihtr for the crime is fixed unon the liquor butines. and whether Mr. Miles 8heerin, of Rainier, makes A very able defense of the proposed .amendment to the local option law.

The saloons will not obey the laws unless thev aro compelled to do so. It will take a gxd man to CII Or. Witbvoombe's position at the (Jtate Agricultural College, MHr NCMDERSQ0DEIIOCIHT. At the recent session of the county eoort the bill of the Portland Journal for advertisinc for bid for the new court house came op for consideration, and the commissioners eakl Mr. Hen derson why he gave the work to that paper. The county clera very prompt ly answered, You left it to me, and I am a democrat, so I pot the advertise ment ia a democratic paper." The Mirr commends Mr. Henderson's an awer. He is not a mugwump nor a no- party man, but an old-fashioned demo crat, and every bit ol work ne controls goes to support democratic papers. He haa riven many hundreds of dollars' worth of the public printing of this re publican county to the Democratic Reg ister, including the semi-annual nnao cial statement, the printing ol tbe pal lots, and all other job printing neces sary in conducting the busiuess of the clerk's office. We hope the Republicans of this county will remember these facts when Democrats tell them there ia no politics in the office of county clerk, and all we need ia a good and competent man. As an officer, so far as his clerical duties are concerned, there is no fault to find with Mr. Henderson, and as a man and neigh bor he is distinctly alright. But if you vote for him do so with the full koowl- Icm that hia election means that every scrap of patronage he controls will be given to the support ol a paper wnose main reason for existence is that It uoes it's beet to establish Democratic supre macy in this county ana nation.
