Did you have any idea that there was us much money brought into cir culation by this industry? Every effort is being made by the State officials to increase the catch and they are now engaged in the work of stocking the Col umbia River with Sockeve Salmon If this is a success the catch Sockeyes will materially increase the value of the fishing industry, County Official Paper A UNION HIGH SCHOOL. There has been considerable agitation here and at Houlton . during the past few days for the construction of a union high school at some point that will be convenient to the people of both towns and the matter will, be voted on at the annual school meeting in June. Nothing of more importance to this neighborhood has come up for consideration since the fight for the county seat, Neither Houlton or St Helens has a complete high school course in the public school. Both of the two towns should have one. Each lias a crood school, and if the districts were consolidated the property of the two districts would of course become property of the consolidated district The St Helens building could be disposed of at once for a good figure and if there was no de mand for the school at Houlton it could be closed until such time as there was a necessity for a graded school at that place as well as the union high school between the two towns. The City of St Helens owns a tract covering about two blocks just East of the baseball park and there is no question but that a high school building could be put up on it This is about mid way between the business parts of the towns, and there are not very many pupils but that could get to school very easily. If the building is put up it should be the best in this part of the country and modern in every particular. The growth of this neighborhood will be such that a large building that can' be WANTS TO DEFEND TITLE. i Attorney W. B. Dillard peti tioned the council Monday night for permission to put up a dock at the foot of Willamette Street for the use of the general public. This land is very much in dispute and the work of auieting the title to it will be strenuous. As soon as anyone commences the work of putting up a dock at that point an injunction will be served on them by the people claiming the land and there wil follow a long and expensive legal battle that will go to the Supreme Court of the State. In return for a twenty-five years lease on the foot of the street Mr. Dillard is willing to take the fight on ' his own shoulders. If he clears up the title of the city to this piece of property it will settle the dis pute all along the front, and the use of Willamette Street by Mr. Dillard will not shut the city out from putting up a dock at any time they bo desire as they wil still have two better places for such a structure. It is not prob able that the City will need the foot of Willamette Street for dock purposes for a long time, if ever, and it looks as though the offers made by Mr, Dillard is one we can not lose on.

Siercks. in the sum of $100.00 as balance in full for contract on said road. Whereupon Court adjourned until put up. With two towns and districts adjoining so closely as the Houl ton and St Helens districts are the keeping up of seperate schools is nothing less than sheer folly. The facilities can never be so good as if the consolidation plan was adopted and the cost for the poor accomodation of the rising generation will always be more than if they were all taught un der one roof and one administra tion, so let us get together and do a little that will be for the j good of the general public and more particularly for the tax payers and children of the Houl ton and St. Helens school districts SALMON FISHING ' Probably Verv fpw rwvmln ' J"-V(J'1- , . 1 ..... realize the enormous value of the ! v ' , ' jalmon caught every year in the1 rT' APril6--1&11- 6lh JdId- r l tv . c -Day; Court came pursuant to adjourn- WMumma mver.
