ANTONE ELLIS Heiou
With it gentle aixzle anile the Oregon
nilit fall like a benediction upon the
parched earth. It may spoil a little of
the down clover, but It benefits inoie
than compensate for any harm it does,
rait Urea, gardens and orchards welcome
it. It was greatly needed in this neigh
borhood, and as usual in this Oregon of
our, it came uat in the nick of time.
After this little coolness passe away the
summer season will open,, and the Sen
coast resorts will begin to pather in their
harvest of city shekels. The residents
ol Columbia County, however, especial
ly those who live on the rivor, have very
little need to go to the coast, except it
be for love of a change, which seems to
be a necessity lor a great many people.
The editor was aroused from his slum
bers one night tu.it week by a neighbor
who said there was "an awful g ronutng'
at tbe foot of the hill on the road toward
Warren. Investigation proved that it
was ft conple of drunken Greeks who
had returned from the metropolis loaded
to the guards with North End booie.
They were emitting nolsea sufficiently
lugubriou to justify tbe belief that they
were in their last agonies, but as soon as
they get another chance they will go to
I town and luy in a fresh stock oi trouble.
Incrkaskd Value Mr. A. J. Farmer
has sold his place known as the Meeker
place to W. Riuehart, for the sum of
17,000. The place was deeded to the
Columbia City and St. Helens school
districts and sold to James Meeker for a
small sum. - F. H. Meeker sold it to a
Mr. Wilde a little over a year ago, for
$2-100; Wilde told to Carl Rascb. for
$4,000; Rasch told to Faimer for $ 1,500
and now Farmer s.dls to Rinehnrt lor
$7,000. The sale iucludes probablx.f500
worth of stock, and the buildings are
worth about 2,000. leaving the acreage
at about 14.500, or about ninety dollars
per acre, which is a very reasonable
price.
The St. Helens second ball team beat
the La Center second team lat Sunday
by a score of 23 to 20. Guess that' go
lug some.
Married At the residence ol tbe
bride's parents, in Raiuier, on Thursday,
June 18th. by Rev. W. C. Fry, Clara b.
Williams to Michael Peters. Mr. Peters
is young man of sterling worth, and we
can heartily congratulate tbe bride upon
her choice. The bride is the kind of a
girl that makes a man's success in life
certain a competent helpmate to a
worthy husband. We wish them pro
perity and are sure they will achieve it.
