End ok tub Reduction Company
The machinery of the reduction
company, in the old cement mill, was
sold at ehcriirs sale on Haturday to
D. Bull for $450. It consisted of two
dynamos, each capable of running 1000
incandescent lights, an amalgamator
ml several large tanks, and was former.
1y valuod ut $4000, but Mr. Bull's judg
ment was for nearly $2000 for rent
The company was composed of three Ta
coma gentlemen Benson, Lowis and
Akew who claimed to have a new
process for obtaining the iron from black
sand on the Oregon seashore. They put
in their plant here and were apparently
successful, so a contract was entered
into by which tho sand was to be
' brought here in large quantities and
treated. It is alleged that the contract
price for tho iron was too low, and th
company counted on being able to also
save the gold dust in the sand, w hiuh
would have made the enterprise
immensely profitable. After much
experimenting the whole thing was
abandoned more than a year ago.
Survey op Rivers. At a meeting of
the Port of Portland commission which
was held Saturday afternocn the
matter of securing a new survey of the
Columbia and Willamette rivers was
discussed at some length, all of the
members present Anally concurring in
a request to Major Post, of the United
States engineers, to resurvey the rivers,
so as to iiFeerlain what damage was
done by the floods of last spring and
summer, to ascertain their present con
dltion, and to make a report of the work
accomplished by the commission, and
how it has withstood the recent floods.
The work of making a new survey and
new charts is no small matter, but it is
considered very essential, in view of
the fact that the recent fbods were
unprecedenledly great, and the rapid
currents and great masses of sediment
brought down must have changed to
some extent known channels.
A New Grocery. C, A. McMillan,
who has been running a grocery, store on
'lower Main street for about two years,
has built a new store building on the

flour and feed, tinware, notions. station
ery, etc., and will be pleased to see his
old patrons as well as new customers.
He delivers goods free and will continue
to take orders in town and on Goose
' Flat. With a well selected stock, which
he sells cheap for rash, he is able to
constantly keep on hand a fresh Bupply
of goods. He "turns" his stock rapidly
and thereby has n shelf-WJrn gls on
hand. Give him a call and you will
be convinced. Remember the place,

The Broken Fisii Whkkl. It has
been found since the last issiu of the
Courier that Mr. Ojdson's fish wheel
was not cut looso by fisherman, but the
ropes holding the scow were parted by
the strength of the current of Ilia river,
which was rising at the time. Mr.
Dodson has not nor had any ill will of
the fishermen and we wore misinformed
last week in this particular, but the
person who was suspected does not or
never did fish, it being a personal mat
ter altogether. The wheel did not
catch a fish the two" nights it "flahe I"
and the night in question he was mak
ing a final trial, preparatory to remodel
ing his wheel scow.
Hunting Accident .VI vah Cjin ni.n

Three Leading Scientists
Proclaim the Superior Value of
,Dr. Price's Baking Powder.
Scientists are devoting closer attention to food products.
Recent examinations of baking powders by Prof. Long, Dr.
Haines, and Prof. Prescott, were made to determine which
powder was the purest, highest in leavening strength, most
efficient in service, and most economical in cost. They
decide that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder excels in all
the essentials of an ideal preparation for household use.
They write:
"Chicago, March a8thr 1894.
We have purchased in the open market cans of Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder and also of the other leading brands
of baking powders, and have submitted them to chemical
analysis. We find that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder JS
a pure cream of tartar powder, that is has a considerably
greater leavening strength than any of the other baking
powders we have ever tested. '
