Williams, the manager of the Columbia County Lumber Co. is putting up a good house at tht month of the bay near the little mill. It is hard to tell juHl what thU mean", but Mr. Wil Mains has always got along without a house until now, and so the election of one must mean some kind of a change In plans.

The cause of McCreeditt's Beavers making the showing that they did lant Sunday is no mystery to the ople of St. Helena. On Kunday morning before the train left for Portlano there was much stirring around and business on the streets, and when the bus left the postollice it waa loaded, and many had to waik to Houlton. When thev had all gathered at the station die re was any nurnbt r of excuses for the trip. - Attor ney J. W. Day said the only reason be waa on hand was b. cause he bad a rain checli ; Ed BitUagh said he was there became he had ticket to Portland given to him ; and there was any number of other excuses. A. T. Laws, 8. C M ton, Jack p.iia, Ed Bennet, Peter Brnkke, Wm. Carey, Ed Peters and some others whone.nao.es we do not know, and the editor were among the bunch. t has. D. Whit-, the Houlton inerch anl, diove into town Wednesday morn ing with a young Cougar in litis wagon that he had shot near the home of N. 1'inckney, at Caric o. Tho brnte meas ured kbout six feet from tip to tip, and looked like lie would ne a bad customaa to meet on a dark nigh. Mr. White was out with ouple of "varmint" dogs (that is, dogs that will not cluse deer, I ut are tleatU on an.vtl.ing . else) and they ran the cougar up tree, one shot from his 30 .10 bringing it don with a hole through U head. There is a bounty of flO On cougars, and it is good one. A ugnr, the old timers say, wil! kili mere deer in a season than any ten men. A man who gets one of these beaMs does a lot for the deer of the rounty. Ti.e foregoing definition of "varmint" dng is one furnished by Mr. White, and as he ii an experienced hunter must l correct.

The boys came down from Portland that evening and got otT at Johnson's crossing. They are report ed to have been under the influence of liquor, and going to the home os Mrs Selene they demanded her monev or ber' life, and were told to go ahead and hetpf themselves. They searched the house ' but failed to find a small sunt that was bidden. Deputy SherilfLake Investigat ed the matter and soon suspected Beaver ot being the guilty party, lie waa brought to this plane and on being ques tioned, soon admitted his guilt. It is somt'thlog that is to lie regretted iu maiig waos, as Heaver's people are among the rutt resected and oldest settlers in this Section.
