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,

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. J, K. Whitney, ia
