Over mile if river fiont, and two miles of railroad front, with a vast body of timber tack of it and a thirty years suppiy available by towage. That tells the natural advantages, as a nianufac. turiiie citv of Rniuier. Where river and rail meet is where the manufactur ing city nil! be built. We have visited Rainier frequently during the past two years, and on every occasion we have been able to note some feature of sab- stantial growth. It is one of the busiest and most prosperous towns in Oregon, and if it keeps up its present rate of iiu provenient, before many years it will be classed with such cities as Astoria, Al uany and Kngene. At present it is in the tranrition state, between the village and the cily, and it citisena hardly tea' use thetr own advantages. Mills are going up, business buildings being con structed, factories established and en Urged, and logging toads constructed out into tha tall timber. ; If the taw in regard to Suntlar closing ! is to be enforced in this county it should , be enforced smifomaly both as regards J persons and localities. It must be en forced in St. Helens as well a in Rainier and against all persons who violate it wherever it is possible to secure evidence sufficient to convict. That is what the Mist has stood for and will stand for. We are not now arguing the wisdom of the law, but it is tlu law and Americans should insist on law enforcement. It is strange, also, that a man who is otherwise a good cititen, will, when called as a juror, permit his personal ideas of what snoutd be the law stand in the way of the fulfillment of his oath as a part of the le gal machinery. It is the duty of citizens to ubev the law. of officers to enforce the law. I and of urors to render verdicts in accord isnce with the law and the evidence. Whenerera man violates a law simply be j cause he does not believe it to be a good one he becomes acr iuiinal and a juror who for the same reason refuses to ren der a verdict of guilty becomes a perjurer. That's all there is to it. VERNONIA ITEMS. NATAL NOTES. to employment to hundreds of men, and the wages paid them circulate in the community and give prosperity to its business men. All this we knew before s recent visit, but there was one fact that we did not fully appreciate, and that is that Raiuier, in addition to its commercial advantages, has one of the F. J. Peterson made a business trip St. Helens Monday. The preaching at the Grange Halt last Sunday was attended by a very targe crowd. Miss Ada Curtis, who has been spend ing a few weeks with Mrs. Nettie Peter son, has returned to her home at U. W, Armstrongs, , Miss Eva Alderman, of Dayton, who taught the Pittsburg school last winter. This gives has been visiting friends in this vicinity the past week.

It is a series of benches, ris ing in easy grades, and giving at every level a view of river, mountain, and forest that can hardly be excelled. It is a wonderful panorama, up and down the great river and across to the valley of the Cowlitx, with the town of Kelso in who has been visiting in the Nehalem several weeks. Agnes Burt was doing business in Pittsburg Tuesday. The foot bridge down at the picnic grounds is getting to be unsafe to travel over any more. Perhaps E. F.

They have been too busy thinking of things that seemed more important. As far as possible the beauty of the tow nsite should be pre served. The city should own a good sized tract of that laud on top of the hill. It will be needed in a very few years for the purpose of a public park ; but in the meantime it may have doubled or quadrupled in value, or have been cut up into small lots and the trees destroyed. Many a town has seen the Mrs. Mary Pnngle and J. W. Arm strong, made a business trip to Clats kanie Monday. E. F. Messing is busy packing and moving hit furniture to Mist this week Mr. F. H.

It wont hurt you and there are so many in the tame fix that it will be quite a help to us. Galveston's Sea, Wall makes life now as safe in that city as on the higher uplands. K. W. UoocTIoe, who resides on Dntton street, in U'tm Texas, needs no sea wall for safety. He writes: I have used Dr. King's New Discovero for Consumption the past five years and it keeps me well and safe. Before that time I had a cough which for years had been growing worse. Now lift C-nn " t ' n ro phfnni, Mwioh. If the Republican party desires defeat grippe, croup, whooping cough, and'pre- veuis pneumonia, rieasant I'NCXE JOK. in tne next presidential election it can contribnte to that result by placing in nomination "Uncle" Joe Cannon, of Illinois. Mr. Cannon is neither as popu lar or as able as was James G. Blaine when the latter ran against and was de feated by Grover Cleveland. It is history that the typographical union of the city of New York, opposed the election of Mr. Blaine because his running mate was Whitelaw Reed, editor of the New York Tribune, an opponent of organized laiior. Organized labor has a strong grievance against Speaker Cannon. It is charged against him not only that he is opposed to the eight hour-day law, but that he used the power of his position as .Speaker of the House of Representatives to prevent its coming to a vote. Every cause has a right to be heard upon its merits and when a large body of work ingmen ask for certain legislation they have a right to demand that their mea sures be not unnecessarily obstructed. The offense committed by Speaker Can non is the same as that of John L. Rand, in auiie legislation, and it will be re membered that the labor unions of the city tf Portland defeated Rand for the Republican nomination for Representa tie in Congress. The American Feder ation of Labor has announced its opposi tion to Cannon, and while it may be true that it can not control all Its members, yet it will control the great majority of llieiu and in a close contest they may be come the deciding factor. It would lie interesting to have some statement from Mr. Cannon's friends as to why it is ne cessary for the Republican party to ac cept Mr. Cannon and bis handicap. There does not appear to be any great popular demand fnr lnm IT. : i,i ....... -,i belonil'S to the unr.r,n.iv. r-laa. f D. ! n W'fc ii "... ...
