Firit to Enter State Universi J
Rosa Johnson 'eft Clat k.iniw this
week to cuter the State I'niversity nt
liiik-ene. This is the tir-t student, says
.I II. Collins, County School Supeiiti
len let, to enter the S ate I'niver'ity,
from Columbia County. A number of
young people from here have attended
lb" various colleges I'acilic, Willamette,
Monmouth, Oregon Agriculture College
but Miss Johnson is the first to enter
li'.igcne. Hip was bortrat Clatskanie,
April 'Jnd, lSliJ, and gradn ited from the
grammar school in l!H)7, and received
her high school diploma in lOi I. She
is the MM'otid iluitghter of Mr. nnd Mrs.
Chris .bili-ison, of Clatskanie. Mr.

purpose of grantirg a liquor license to
Haves Ksterbrook, nnd considering
erer.il other matters. The license was
granted and nil olhcr business postponed

Thompson-Wilkins
Ml" Malile Thompson, of Houlton,
in his possession live years and he has
m t made a journey on her, according to
Ciiptain Lawrence llolman, his son.
The record is remarkable is steam
boating circles and probably no other
mill in the marine community cat)
evualit. The reason is that Mr. llol
man end of the line and bis attention
being demanded in the management of
orlice details, he found no time for
pleasure jaunts. I'esides work in the
territory covered by the steamers has
ben assigned to representatives, who
have been held responsible for the trade
handled, and there has been little oc
casion for the head of the company to
give details bis personal attention other
thin at Portland.
Of late years his eon, Captain Law
rence H iJmen and Kaymoml Holmun,
have taken an active part in the busi
ness and during a recent visit of Mr.
Holman to Kuiope they shouldered the
entire determined to make improve
ments In the service through the re
building of the steamer Ameiica, milk
ing her hull about one-third lot ger and
with less draft, arid it is estima'ed that
with her present engine and lioiler she
can steam from lo to ! miles, against
ll miles that fhe reels Joff at present.
When she is rebuilt and replaced on the
run passenger rates will be lowered to
23 rents, against 50 cents charged at
present to St. Helens and vieinity.

Sheriff Files Complaint
Theie has been no development in the
Wehrman murder ca"e dui ing the past
week, except the filing of the complaint
charging Pender with the deed. This
Sheriff Thompson waa forced to do from
fear of habeas corpus proceedings. The
preliminary heating will be, had, in the
court of Justice of the Peace M. F.
Hazen at some date in the near future.
The Sheriff says that his chain of circum
stantial evidence is becoming stronger
every day, and expres-es himself with
confidence as to the guilt of the accused,
saving that if the trial was at once there
is enough evidence in the hands of the
authorities to obtain a conviction.
FOR SALK January pullets now lay-
Miss Phillips and her small pupils are
very comfortably situated at the City
Hall. There are about 33 pupils in Mia
Phillip's room.
The second an I third grades, taught
by Miss Hazen, number over 40. Miss
liazen has some thing to do.
Miss Farnum, who has charge of the
fourth and fifth grades, reports full at
tendance in her room.
Miss Weed teachir of tbe sixth and
seventh grades, like all the other
teachers has a large number in attend
ance. The total enr illment to date, is about
170, and there are a number Of others
who will enter within the next week.
.So far, twenty pupils have registered
in the high school. This is indeed, ery
encouraging. At the beginning of an
other year, this num)er can easily be
doubled.
The high school boys expect to go to
Rain er Saturday for a game of ball with
the H tinier H gh School boys. While
the Rainier boys are older, we expect
to make it interesting for them. On
.ii Saturday fallowing. Rainier will
give us a return game.
Following is the line np:
Catcher. Vergil Hattan; Pitcher,
Harry Richardson; First base, Lester
Wellington, Second. Matt McKie, Third,
Cbas. Smith; Left field, Berlin Yeo
nian; renter, Ziuna Lemon; right,
Knute Bgorkman.
Archie Rowley, whose foot was badly
crushed two months ago, is now able to
walk on crutches and has entered the
fifth grade.
There are cot many new faces to be
seen among the pupils this year, except
in Miss Phillips room, where nearly all
are beginners. The people of Saint
Helens do not seem to be a transient
class as in many towns along the Col.
unibia. t
In the near future the pupils of. the
upper grades expect to engage in a con
test in "Domestic Art," and no doubt
the result of the contest will be the dis
covery of some excellent cooks.
Mr. Wllkers in has hid perfect atteo
dnce in his room thus far. Every seat
is occupied, but there is room for others
and they will be placed as new pupils
enter. 4-

icg. ileat laying strains, cheap if taken-filial commands, perhaps,

Boys Waive Preliminary
Henry Tieaver and Jake Rassmussen,
charged with larceny, having tried to
hold up Mis. Selene audmaking off with
two jugs of wine, waived their prelimi
nary bearing in tbe court of Justice of
the Peace M. F. Hazen last Saturday
and were liound over to await the action
of the G'ai.d Jury, under bond iu the
sum of $,"i00. This amount was offered
ill the cane of Beaver but the lad refused
to come out unless his companion could
be release l also.
