FOWELL, St. Helens, Oregon RAINIER After thi beautiful clear weather is over and we have about three day of gentle sizzle aazzle some immigrant will write home that it rains all the time n Oregon. Mrs, W. B. Jameson, returned home Monday evening- from Portland where she has been the past six week. Mrs. Jameson underwent an operation while there and is improving nicely. There is an opening at Rainier for a steam laundry. Properly managed it could secure business from s large scope of territory and would be a paying in vestment from the start. Here is something for the Commercial Club to get busy on. A young man who had just started in to work at the Rainier Mill & Lum ber Company's mill last Monday had the misfortune to get his fingers in be tween a roller and a large timber with the result that two of his (lingers were mashed into a shapeless mass. . The steamer Yosemite left the Wilson Lumber Company's wharf last Sunday for St. Helens, where she took a small number of ties to complete her cargo. The greater portion of her load was taken at the Patterson mill, this being, we believe, the first ship for that firm. Unintentionally, in our mention last week of the good things that had happened to Rainier during 1906 we ne glected to mention the local telephone line, which is proving a great con venience, especially to t he business men of the community and the nearby camps. It is one of the greatest timesavers imaginable. Beaver Valley Grange No. 306 elected the following officers December 10: M., Ira I'archer; O., R. N. Lovelace; Lee.. Miss Gurtrude Leggett; Sec., Mrs, Jennie Lovelace; S., Guy Tarbell; A. S., Chester Parcher; C, Agnes Burns; T., R. P. Burns; G. K., Frank Rice; P., Clara Morton; F., Winnie Morton: C, Eva Burns; L. A. S., Margie Lovelace. By invitation of the Goble Grange R. N. Lovelace will go to install their officers Sunday January, 13. Beaver Valley Grange will install their officers January 20th. Teamsters Union President Gram, of the SUite Federation of Labor, ac companied by W. H. Fitzgerald, secre tary of the Portland Federated Trades Council, and J. W. Lang, secretary of the l'ortland Teamsters Union, were visitors to Rainier last Monday for the purpose of effecting the organization of a local teamsters' union. The meet ing took place in the K. P. hall and was well attended, about thirty signing the application for a charter. The team sters believe mat meir organization win be a benefit both to themselves and to their employers. The Executive Committee of the Rainier Commercial Club, at its meeting last Tuesday evening, decided to issue a call for a mass meeting of the citizens to take place at the K. P. hall next Monday evening, January 14th, for the purpose of discussing the advisability of Rainier owning its own water system. It is hoped that all interested will be present and that those who have views upon the subject or information to give will not be backward about expressing themselves. It is a question of impor tance to every resident. Don't wait until it is too late and then find fault. Don't say the meeting was run in the interest or this or mat person, dui eei in and help run it yourself. The call is being quite generally signed by people on both aides of the question. Hon. Elmer T. Connell, representa tive for Columbia County, was caller at the Review office Saturday last, on his way to the bedside of hia father, who is seriously ill at his Portland home. Mr. Connell has an earnest desire to be of use to the people of ColumbiaCounty, and wishes to be made thoroughly ac quainted with their desires in regard to rirosoective legislation. The contract for poles let for the construction of the electric light line from Coffin Rock to Rainier and the poles are now up as far as the Baekua place, about two and one half mile from the city. Messrs. Graham and Timoney have the contract, which will -be completed in about one month. Owning to the necessary delay in se curing machinery it will be about four months before Rainier has twenty four hour service, with abundant power for motors.. Mr. O. C. Riches, Postoffice Inspector, was in Rainier Tuesday. He remarked the increase of work at this office since his last visit. He instructed Postmaster Alvord, to strictly enforce the law as to the collection of box rent, making the change as follows: That all box rents due must be paid from the 20th to the 1st of the quarter, instead of the 1st to the 10th of the quarter as heretofore. All persons renting boxes should bear this in mind so as to avoid trouble, or losing their box. Mr. Riches also instructed the postmaster to strictly enforce the law as regards the sending of postal cards through the mails contain ing obscene language or matter that reflects upon the character of any name, for which there is a heavy penalty. PROTECT THE TIMBER. Not only should the coal lands be re served but every acre of saw timber suit able' for lumber now left nnappriated by the octopus lunilwr trust, should also be withdrawn from public entry. Not one in a thousand realizes what scandalous monopoly has stealthilr gained control of our lumber interest, surpassing if possible even the Standard Oil Trust. Unless government inter ference intervenes soon inevitable bard ship to the country at large must be the outcome. It is not only the privilege, but the duty of the pre to traiu the gun at once on thia vital subject, and hurl pro tests from every point along the line, until government action is gecureU in its favor. If the issue were left to the vote of the people I (slay nine tenth of the voter would favor it passing, and in this land of supposed freedom, where government of the people by the people is the watchword, no effort should be spared in bringing it about, and the sooner the buule call goes forth over the land calling together the forces of right for concerted action in the matter the better it will be for the interest ol the country at large.
