Just now he can talk nothing but foot bill, and auie up here to make sure that Squeeze ml Itrakke, two local artists of the giid- ron, would be on band next Sunday to help Rainier put the McLitighlin Ath leticClub on the small end of a big ore. Grant if also coaching the Rainier High Sch'Mil boys, and says that they wlllhave some fot ball team. The Faimer's State Rank, of Scap- poose, is installed in their new fire proof building, and now have as well eq uipped bank m there is in any small community In the State. There is also nother new building being built at Scappoose, to be used for mercantile- purposes. Mr, F. D. Hobert, for twenty three years iu the general merchandise busi ness at 1-a Center, has pnrchnsed the stuck and business of the Milloy Mer cantile Co., at Scappoose, and is now conducting sn up to date store at that place. Mr. Hobert is well known to a large number of the old times at this place as In the old days before the-e was as many places to go as there is now, the people of La Center and St. Helens fraternized to a large extent. Last Friday was "Tie Day" at school and one of the prize winners in the pie contest was presented to the editor. It was a great big creation of custard with out any roo' on it with the exception of the beaten whites of eggs, and say was it good ? Well, yes. It was made by Roy Laws, but when the editor thiuks of his own experiences in the pie mak ing line there is no doubt in Our mind but that Mrs. Laws was iu the vicinity at the time. Hut the pie the editor baked had a noble mission in life after all and is now being nseJ by Virgil Powell In the Nchalera to take the place of a broken disc in his disc harrow.

Mr. Frank Bishop of Goble, was a business visitor to St. Helens on Mon day, going from here on the afternoon train to Portland. May gar Girl Marriea Miss Hazel B. Gaunt, of Mayger, and Joyce C. Iloskins, of Kelso, were before tho county clerk last Monday asking fur a glory ticket and weut from there to the botiiv of Rev. Heist to hav the double harnesa put 'on. Miss Gaunt has lived at Mayger for years and has many friends in this county while Mr. Hoe kins is highly esteemed iu bis home town. One of the most deplorable accidents that has taken place in this county for years occurred at Mayger last Tuesday morning; at eight o'clock. Victor Jarvi, age 22, and Jack Raivio, ae 31. were engaged in the work of digging a well on Jarvi's place, and had gone down about 82 feet. On Tuesday morning Jarvi went down into the well first, and succumbed to the effects of the gas that had collected during the 1 J T " . .! i .1 . it... . 1 1 mgnt, ana itaivio immediately "ecr uau oten went to his assistance and lost his life in attempting the rescue of his friend. Other people were soon on the scene of the accident and Gus Ilmari, a countryman of the de ceased, went into the well and brought out the body of Raivio, while Jarvi's' body was brought to the surface by his brother. The scene of the accident is about one and a half miles from Mayger and both of the men who lost their lives are well known at that place. Jarvi was but re cently married, and had a nice little place, the scene of the accident. Coroner Frank Sherwood was summoned from Rainier, but the case was so plainly one in which there wa s no body responsible for the deaths that no inquest was held. The funeral took place at the cemetery in Quincy on Thursday. The City Council put in a part of the time at their meeting last Monday night in talking to the saloon keepers in regard to sell ing liquor to people in an intoxi cated condition, and the time will undoubtedly prove to have been well spent This is, it is said, the only violation of the law that the local saloons have been guilty of of late, and it is one that should be stopped. Even in this, there was but one or two violators. One of the largest employers of block makers here told us that up to the 20th of the month he already shipped 325,000 paving blocks to Portland, and that he has about 60 men at work mak ing them. Part of the month his pay roll was in the neighborhood of $300 per day. MUCH iiTRWTlON IN SUCH A SHORT TIME In the belief that he was firing at a deer's tail, Herman Claussenios, Jr., shot and killed his friend, John Bon ser, while the two were hunting oo the Mullen ranch, eiirht mile, me Rocky Point, near Scappoose, Claussen ius says that lioni-er had told bim that be was going to circle the hill on which th tragedy occurred in a different di rection from that in which he actually traveled. A deer had crashe 1 through the brush a moment before the fatal shot was fired, Clansenius says, and it was while he was scanning the woods forasight of the animal that he caught a glimpse of Hopser's head and mistaking it for the fugitive trame, , leveled bis gun and Cr-. The two men had hunted together almost every season for ten years. After he bad fired, Claussenius rush ed down to the spot where ha uninwd In the meantime he says be heard it crashing away thror.gh the brush. Bonser had been following close on its trail. Claussen ius found two buckshots bad entered his friend s head, and setting him op a gainst a tree, he jumocd in an automobile and went to Wilcox mill for help. He returned within 20 minutes, but the party conll not find Bonser, who by ti.U time pro'iiibly was dead. The b dy was found Monday afternoon, but CUnseeiiius did not know of it until so informed by deputy Sheriff Bulger. The accident occurred just Inside the Washington County line, and the in q tiet aas held by the officials of Wash ington County. Ttie Bonsers are old resident of this county, and well known to many people at this place. The Clatskanie High School went to A-tr a last Saturday to play footbal' with the school at that place, and the Columbia County lads were the victims of an awful slaughter. The final score was 100 to 0. Though the result was not expected to be that bad, still it could not be expected that the Clata kairie boys would win, as they were op egainst one of the best school teams in the State, while the boys from this county were taking part in their first game. It is to be hoped that they will not be discouraged by the result. Miss cladys Ashley is visiting this week w th Mra. Yeomans. A deed was filed during the past week tratisfering the ownership of some 375 lots in this city from Mrs. Hannah Tyskiewicz to Geo H. Sliinn. Other business men in St. Helens besides Mr. hhin are interested in the transfer, which involves somewhat less than $10, O K). There lots will be Dut on the mar ket at once and their sale will advance the best interests of the town consid erably. The City of I Ion! ton has commenced lliewoikof digging a well to furnish th"ir water supply and are confident that before they have gone down very far tliev will strike water in sufficient quan tities to supply their needs and at pre sent are figuring on a depth of but fifty feet. Taomen are now engaged in active wi.rs, and if the water.supply will be as the city council figures they will certain ly obliiu cheap water. It seems too bad th.it tiie terms of the water commission of this place are not satssfactory as they seem to be very reasonable, and the service given by the water sys era now iu use could not be beat, as the water is good and there is always a good pre ssure. The rate of 10c per 1000 gallon! Is low as compared with what is charged in other plrces, and if there was no leak iu the pipe or no water wasted the City of Houlton conld well afford to pay it. Mr. K. K. Quick, well known and highly esteemed in this city and for years prominent in the business and political affairs of Columbia County, has sold his interest in the Abstract and Trust Co. to George H. SUinn of thit city, and may leave this country alnjut the first of the year as be lias his eye on a small farm near Eu gene, lie w ill remain in the office, of the abstract company until January first, wheu Mr. Sliinn will take up the work.
