Legal notice 25 cents per li $1.00 .fit) Th ine. AN IMPORTANT VISIT Lewis Russell, chairman of the Good lioads Committee of the Portland Automobile Club, F. J. Walch, civil engineer, and Dr. Wallace of New York were St. Helens visitors Wednesday. They came to confer with Judge Dart regarding the proposed road on a new survey between St. Helens and Pittsburg. They hope to see a road built that will be used by autoists going from Portland to Astoria and the summer resorts. and they are confident of their ability to secure considerable pecuniary aid for the project, from autoists, owners of beach property and others. Such a road would be of immense value to Co lumbia County, and that it will be built there is no manner of doubt. Pittsburg is to be a manu facturing city of importance. There is nothing there now but some old deserted buildings: but there is a water power capable of running mills and factories, and it is significant that this water power has recently passed into the hands of the Fir Tree Lumber Company, and that the same corporation has invested an im mense sum in the purchase of the Chapman properties, various tract? of timber and a number of farm? which were not purchased for the timber on them but to control all thelandin theneighbor- hood of the water power. A road connecting this important point with the county seat is an ab solute nccessityof the nearfnture, and we trust Mr. Russell who was instrumental in securing the Mount Hood road, will score another success in Columbia County. A. V. Lufferty, the Portland lawyer, who ia making uch an aggressive campaign for Congress liom tlie Second Oregon District, will speak at Morgut' Hall, in St. Helens, next Tuesday uight, August 30, at 8:13. lie will discuss the various political issuer alltH'tiiig Oreiron and will pay his respects to the other I candidates (or Congress, all of whom have been Invited to be present and de- I bate with hi in. He is an anti-assembly , candidate and is nip pot ting the direct primary. i Latterly campaign is looming big, and it is already apparent that he is the I leading candidate. Piesutisfaction with .

E. J. MILLS, Clatskanie, Oregon a. x Q W "n i - A. V. LAFFERTV Insurgent Candidate for Congress ASSESSING IMPROVEMENTS A citizen of St. Helens has ten thousand dollars in the bank. He l ays no taxe3 on this money. He aiso h?? a vacant lot on which he may Le assessed, at the outside $700. He has public spirit and wants to beautify the town by the erection of a ten thousand dollar buildingon that vacant lot. Just as soon as his building is completed and his money has become unproductive he will be fined at least $120 per year for putting up the building, giving employment tolabor, and beautify ing his home town. A logging company has ten thousand acres of stump land. Having the machinery, they could probably clear it cheaper than men of small means could, and, once cleared, it could be sold to settlers who would convert it into good firms, thus adding to the wealth and prosperity of the county. As stump land it is probably assessed at $3 or $4 per acre. If cleared it would be as sessed from $40 to $100 per acre. Not having a guarantee of an I immediate sale the company con cludes to not invest its money in clearing land, and the community is the loser. What are you going to do about it? Lafferty. He knoa what Oregon needs at the bands oi the National government, and he has the ability to get it. He stands for returning to this state the Willi, ua of dollars derived from the sale of public lauds aud put into the R 'clam.it Ion Fund, which is now being iir-ed for the development of other states. Section 9, of t lie RecUmatson Act, which required return of the major portion of this money to t tie state which produced it, was repealed in the last Congress by the Ways and M au Comiuitlee, which Congressman Ei'is is a meml-erof. The Interior Department has practic ally construed thi Homestead and Timber Land Laws ofl'Uie statute books. LatTcrty advocates creation of a Federal j Land Court, which would make a man's rights to take up government land worth something to htm aain. LatTerty is a progressive Republican and will be au in. urgent in Congress, opposing Speaker Cannon and the 'Standpatters", and advoDating radical revision of the tariff. Everybody is invited to hear Lafferty Tuesday night. His talk w ill not bs long, and he will have something interesting to sav. CARL S. KELTV, Lafftrty's Campaign Manager. KELSO 3: ST. HELENS 1 7.
