Cuff, Coroner St. Helens PESSIMISTIC JIM Mr. James Hill, railroad magnate has 'come to the conclusion that hard times are coming in UK'S. He bases his con elusion on the belief that people are be ginning to retrench and economize. Mr. Hill is one of the greatest business men of the country, and his opinion possesses weight. Yet we find that others of equal ability disagree with his prediction, and believe the only curb to ' our prosperity is the inability of the - transportation companies to handle toe business offered them. There is really not great deal of wiedom in piling the yards full of lumber if there is to be no ' improvement in the facilities of trans portation. s So far as Oregon is concern ed, and especially Western Oregon, that Is the only fly in the butter. There is no sc arcity, nor is there likely to be any, in demand for our princioal product, ' and s falling off in the demand for cars elsewhere might prove a positive benefit to the industries of this Coast. It is possible that Mr. Hill is mistaken. He is not feeling in the best of humor at present. The legislature of Oregon and and Washington have at last responded to the wishes of the people and given us what may prove to be effective railroad commissions. The attempt to interfere with "vetted rights" and the divine right of railroad kin s to conduct their business as they see fit without regard to the interests of the common herd, lias given Mr. Hill a headache, and he sees darkly. After a while, when lie gets used to the new order of things he will take a brighter view of the future of his country and the use of the won! "his" is not euphemistic, for there are very few wbo own a bigger chunk. SIR. COXKEIX'S RECORD. As far as can be judged at the present time Mr. Elmer Connell has made Col umbia Com ty a respectable and satis factory representative. He has been roponslve to the wishes of his constitu ents and seems to have been actuated by a desire to have bis record square with the best interests of bis State and county- He is one of the youngest men in the Legislature, yet be has shown that be possesses good judgment and understands that clear work counts for more than loud talk. He appreciates the meaning of the word "representa tive," and has not fallen into the common error of thinking that his in dividual opinion is worth more than the combined judgment of his electorate. From the day of his election he has counseled with the people of this county and we believe his course fairly repre sents the consensus of their judgment. That he has made some mistakes we have no doubt, bnt that is unavoidable, and all that ran be asked of a represen tative is that he shall do the best he is canable of to carry out the wishes of the people. Mr. Cornell's youth and in experience, as he undoubtedly nnder-j Stands, have been something of ahnndi cap, bnt they have been to a great ex tent offset by good business ability, thorough education and an earnest de sire to make a creditable record. Con tact with able and experienced men have undoubtedly broadened him and rendered his services more valuable, and we have no doubt, if again called upon to serve thii county as a represen tative, he will take rank as one of the most influential member of the Legis lature. With the appearance ci the crocus, daffodils und delicate snow drops we re ceive our first intimation that spring is near at hand. One more winter, with its leafless trees and faded vegetation will 6ion have passed and the snow and lea of tiie beginning of 1907 will 1 e but one more ite'n in the history of the "uldefct citizen." The arrival of spring should be an incentive to the property owner to clean up the rubbish that has accumulated about his premises. A few lio jrs work, a day with a rake and shovel will make a wonderful difference in the appearance of the front lawn, and by the time this has been accomplished the planting of flowers will be in order. There is nothing that adds so much to lli3 nttrai tivenest of your cottage, to say nothing of your street and town, as well kept bums, dotted with floweis aud fbrubbery. The visliior to the city is at once attracted bv its pleasing effects and carries nay an elevated impreision of Its refVent. It is not a matter of expanse, us tucre is practically nothing tob inve-tid, it simply means a few limn a day, which to many won'd be but recreation. No mutter bow sninll your pUd of ground may be a rouebui-li bee m il tlit1 re will improve it Wonder- A KAILHOAI) OUTRAGE. roimii i giHiiu for Col.iiiibi County met t liobu? Ut SatuoUv. A number of llndi'liyaua reside in the southern part f the County uit intended to r turn lo their homes on the Northern Pai-ilic train which U due at Ooble at obout 0 a. in. Upon Iheir arrival at the depot ttiey were Informed that there was an obstruction in the thajw of a stalled tiaiu upon the Northern's track near Castle Rock, Washington. After they had waited about ttve hours the A. A C train pulled op to the depot on its way to Portland But the A. A C. would not permit these people to board their twin because they were iu the Northern' territory and we suppose the answer would have b en the same if the train hud beeu day instead of hours late. Two of the grangers did get on board, hut the train whs stopped a abort distance from the station ulid they were compelled to get off and walk back. We believe such a rase as this will come within the province of the new railroad commission. It would seem to be an easy matter for these two roads to come to some agreement whereby the A. & C can sell tickets between auv points on the Northern between Goble and Port land. It is rather hard for a crowd of people, as anxions as these were to get home, to be refuted pissaje on a train, that passes their home station. UP TO THE ASSESSOR- The HouscdiJ its duty by passing the Beats bill to compel owner of timber land to furnish a cruise of their timber to the assessor, but the Senate, which appears to have been organized in the interests of the Us dodging capitalists and franchise grabbers, defeated the measure, as they did many other ex cellent bills passed by the House. Now its up to the assessor. He has had his salary raised to a decent figure, and he can very easily demonstrate to the people that hedeferved the raise by compelling the timber owners to pay something like a just tax upon their holdings. At present the highe: assessment on timber lands in th coonty is $14 per acre. Some of it is J worth fi.wu per acre and, air. uws admits that this is only guesswork, as as he has no means of knowing the trne value of the hind, und the owners per sistently refuse to show their cruise. There is but one thing for the assessor to do and that is to guess higher. Assess the timber land at such a figure that the owners will be compelled to make its true value known in order to secure a reduction. We believe Mr. Laws will do this. The timber owners have de fended Columbia ccunty of enough tax money, if nut into a fund for that pur pose, to pay the salaries of its officials for all time to come. There is no reason why they should ba permitted to escape paying their nst share of the burden. They are taking the value off of the land, and when they have denud ed it thy will move to Portland and live in eaFC upon the money they have made in Columbia County. Generation after generation of farmer will live on the farms and improve and build up the county, but the timber owner is not a gennine home maker, but a get-rich-quick speculator who cares nothing for Columbia County except to work it for his own private gain and, as far aa possible, compel the genuine settlers to foot the bills. South Dakota Prohibits Treating. In passing a bill prohibiting "treat ing" in s.doons the South Dakota legis lature has aimed a blow at one of the most common features connected with the liquor traffic. Whether the law will be strictly observed or enforced is another matter. Its passage will prob ably be effective to some extent in checking the "Lets go aud have some thing" habit, though it may not entirely stop it. Treating, as a social custom, has so long been in vogue that it will not pass away simply because there is a law ajainet it, but knowledge of the existence of such a law may embolden many men to do what they are often now afraid to do walk up and take a lone drink. And there are hundreds who, when the lone drink is compulsory will lose a great dial of the enjoyment they now find in drinking and quit al together. There Is no doubt that the treating habit, carried to excess as it so ofien is, La been renponHihle for a great deal of overindulgence. Drinkers, its well as temperance workers, are willing to ad mit tills. Kecogtiition of the fact has sometime and in some places dmie considerable to makj the habit lees onimon but never eradicate, it. There will be no little interest in watching (or the effect of the attempt in Houth Dakota to control it by legislation. Dem. Found Ht Laist. J, A.
