early '80s, but some four years ago lie
sold out his interests in Columbia and
moved to Washington County. He was
lost where he could not hear the stesui
bouts whistle, ami says he is mighty
glad to get back into this section again .
Harry K Lovell, who worked in this
oflice for some time last April, has been
arrested at Hillsboro, charged with for
gery. He is also wanted at this place
for the same offense, as there is' a war
rant out here charging him with forging
two check on the Mist Publishing Co ,
amounting to 4:10, last April. It has
rot been found out yet whether the
Washington County officials will deal
with him or lit will lie returned to St.
Helens for trial.
i ue corneuus J nbuiie, a new pajier

The fishing around St. Helens is the
best in the State of Oregon, witii the
possible exception of some of the moon
tainof districts where the speckled
trout are the thickest, and then it ia, on
ly a matter of the kind of fishing that
one prefer. One day 1. st week Joe
Specht caught 00 pouuds of 6ne salmon
trout over on Lewis Hiver.' and Oicar
Olsen caught 45 pounds of croppies,
while Chas. Scott comes up the street
aliout every other day with a string of
black bass that would feed a Dutch
family for a week. Several bass weigh
ing five or six pounds have been caught
this year, and the croppies are fine, fat
fellows that it does not require ery
many to make a meal. The salmon
trout are a fine fish as there are in any
stream, end when one of the big fal
lows is hooked there is sometning doing
until be is landed or escapes.
The Webrman Case
Several arrests have been made but
nothing came of any of them a the
people picked up were only tramps that
could not have ponsibly committed the
murder. One wan caught at Deer
Island and George Grant went down
and brought him to thi place, bherilf
Carnine of Cowlitz County picked one
up at Kalamaand phoned for the Sher
iir of this county to come ai.d get Mm
but before Deputy lake got there he
had turned him loose ) there was
proof that he was not the man wanted.
Another was caught and questioned at
Clstskanie, but was turned loose,
SCHOOLS START
With the exception of St.

Superintendent J'. H. Collins
looks forward to a very success
ful year among the schools and
is well pleased with the selections
of teachers in the majority of
cases.
It is doubtful if there is a
county in the State of Oregon
where the various school districts
are in better hnancial conuition
than in Columbia, despite the
fact that more money has been
spent for new buildings in the
past two years than during any
former period of five years.
Church year close
Last Sunday marked the rlo-ie of an
other conference year 8-1 -'ar as ths local
Methodist church is concerned. At its
meeting Saturday night the olliialc b aid
granted the pastor a weeks vacation be
fore conference which convenes at Salem
next Monday and continues in session
for one week.
Sundays services were an inspiration
to all who attended. In the niornint
the pastor reread parts of his report to
the fourth quarterly conference setting
fourth the phenominal growth of tho
church during the pst year. Since the
first ol Oct, ll10, the membership has
been increased from 23 to 80. Tl e
financial report showed an increase of
ISO per cent in the receipts aud dis
btiremcnts of the church.
All benevolent collections and all bil.s
of the church will ba reported as pai I
in full. For this excellent condition
friends outside the memlietship de.-crve
great Credit. Many have Cooperated
most heartily in the works of ths year.
Following the reading ol the repoit
the pastor administered thu sacrament
ol balitisim to Id. Five oilier were
liabtid in the afternoon. At the even
ing seivice, after a short sermon, 30 were
received into full membership from pro
bation am! by letter.
Hunters Take Notice.
Hunting or fishing upon rece
eipts furnished by notaries and
justices of the peace will not be
allowed in the future, according
to instructions recently issued by
the State Board of fish and game
Commissioners. Deputies all
over the state have been told to
arrest any hunter or fisherman
who fails to show a regular hunt
ing or fishing license in his pos
session, upon demand. Ihis holder
of a receipt will be treated in
every way the same as though
he had never made application
for a license.
Tho reason for this is plain.
In the past, notaries and justices
of the peace who have authority
to collect for licenses, issue a
receipt and mail the money to the
County Clerk, who, in turn mails
a license to the notary or Justice
to be delivered to the aoplicant.
have failed to do so, pocketing
the money and advising the ap
plicant that a receipt is equiva
lent to a license. To stop this
petty grafting. Game Warden
Fin ley insists that licenses, in the
future, wiil be recognized as the
only evidence of a right to hunt
or fi3h.
"We have a fairly complete
record of notaries and justices
who have retained money belong,
inn to the game fund," said
Warden Finiey, "and they are
located'all over the state. These
lien have actually accepted
money for licenses and made no
return of it, nor have they se
cured licenses for those who have
made application. By arresting
those holding merely receipts for
licenses, we will shortly run down
those who have been guilty of
this fraud."
It is provided by law that any "
justice of tho peace or notary in
the state may receive money for
Connty Clerk on application for
hunting or fishing licenses, and
the Game Warden has no dis
position to place an obstacle in
the way of hunters to thus easily
secure their rights. He is firm,
however, in his intention - to
break up a practice which v has
proven demoralizing to many
public and semi-pulic officials in
all parts of Oregon.
The editor was busy when he
was asked: "How are the mar
kets?" The man was referred
to the office devil who looked
wise and said: "Young men un
steady; girls lively and in good
demand; papas firm, but declin
ing; mamas unsettled, waiting
for higher bids; coffee consider
able mixed; fresh fish active and
slippery; eggs quiet but ex
pected to open soon; whiskey
still going down; onions strong;
yeast, rising; breadstuffs, heavy
but rising; boots and shoes, con
stantly going up and down; hats
and caps, not so high as last year,
excepting foolscap, which is sta
tionery; tobacco, very low and
has a downward tendency ; sil
ver, close, but not close enough
to get hold of." ,
