The business of this company will by that time warrant the employment of these extra men. In addition to the force already engaged in the camps. An addition to Thurston coun. ty's population of 500 worklngmen at one time will make quite an auspicious open ing of the spring business, especially as these men will begin wage-earning at once.

"STOP THE LEAK." "Junior City" Di&lilwcs Cheap Trans portation to the metropolis. Morning Astorlan. Astoria has not succeeded in becoming a metropolis, and that hope may. see sev eral years of useful life before it gradu ates into a fact; but she can be, and under normal conditions is, the very best junior city on the coast. This is a republican city, and all kinds of republicanism. Is represented here. Protection has been the essence of republicanism, and the principle has not yet been discarded from the articles of faith. Yet the very an tithesis of the-principle prevails locally. In national affairs the natural protec tion afforded home business Institutions by the element of distance Is added to by a system of high duties. But for our own business men of Astoria the protection of distance is largely nullified by the sense less rate war which has made passenger travel between here and Portland almost free. It is, of course, a rank violation of prece dent to cry out against transportation rates because of their cheapness, but since it is cash and not consistency that chiefly concerns our business men, they should not be afraid to fight for this Issue, be cause It is so vulgarly new. The wonder Is that Astoria's business houses stand the drain as well as they do. Few cities or 10,000 people could do it. Condemning Right of "Way. GOLDENDALE, Wash., Jan. 33. The Columbia Valley Railroad Company, by Louis Gerlinger, president, has filed con demnation proceedings for right of way across four tracts of land In Klickitat county, and February 6 is the day set for hearing.

M. and Ida Tur ner, and Involves land opposite Swltzler's island and at a point not over six miles below Wallula. It Is reported that the company has acquired contracts for right of way from Turner's place to that of Ross Beardsley, and some important set tlements are in progress across valuable fruit lands In the vicinity of Columbus. Drowned In Wilson Creelc. WILLAPA, Wash., Jan. 13. James Kee tcn, stepson of C. W. Keeton, of thl3 place, and who was working in the log ging" camp of A.

Fifteen precincts were represented at the democratic meeting, and before ad journing to the hall where the populists wore gathered, they passed a resolution "that we unite with all the reform forces in putting up a county ticket, If a feasible plan that is lawful can be found, still re taining our party organizations." At the joint meeting a plan was adopted for the democratic and populist primaries to meet separately, and elect delegates to one county convention, when a name for the new party organization will be selected. Before this joint convention shall be held for the nomination of county officers, how ever, each party convention will meet sep arately, and elect delegates to their re spective state conventions.

Pendleton East Oregonlan. W. H. Catherman, who lives about 12 miles from Umatilla, says that one day last week, while he was doing some work about his farm, he happened to notice a woman coming toward him along- the railroad track, and acting strangely. He accosted her with the time of day, ana she acknowledged the salutation. She then came over to where he was working and asked if he could not let her have an old quilt or something to sleep on for the night. He noticed that her shoes were worn so badly that they would hardly stay on her feet, and that she wore very little more than a very thin wrapper, With the exception of a light shawl over her head, this was her only covering. Not caring to question her then, he Invited her to his house, and while supper was in progress he tried to draw her into con versation regarding herself. The attempt was a failure, however, and the only information he could gain was that she had come from Pendleton that day; that she did not have a cent ot money, no friends, and that she was a decent woman. All the questioning he and his wife could do elicited nothing fur ther, and they finally gave it up as a bad job. When invited to partake of their supper with them, she refused, saying she preferred to sleep. She was shown a bed, and in the morning, when she arose, she refused to partake of any breakfast, with the remark that she must reach Uma tilla that day, which was some 12 miles away. Both Mr. Catherman and his wife were of the opinion that the woman was insane and had escaped from some asylum, or had wandered away from home. Since leaving his place he has heard nothing further concerning the woman. That she Is de mented, there can be no question, and steps should be taken to ascertain who she Is and where she Is from. A . FRUITGR O WERS' CONVENTION. To ?.Ieet at State Agricultural Col lege Last of January. CORVALLIS, Jan. 13. Elaborate ar rangements are being made for the con vention of fruitgrowers to be held at the college January 31 and February 1 and 2. A similar convention of a most success ful character was held at the college at about the Fame time last year. It was attended by leading orchardists from all parts of Oregon, and by many from Southern Washington. The deliberations were so Interesting and beneficial that the convention passed a resolution re questing the college authorities to call a similar meeting of fruitgrowers this year. The spirit of the resolution has been followed by the college people, and a committee, with Dr. Withycombe at its head, Is now at work on the pro gramme. A great many leading orchard ists have already consented to present papers on a great variety of subjects, pertaining to fruit culture. Among others is Dr. E. Emery Smith, of Stanford uni versity, whese reputation is well known to all up-to-date orchardists. Arrange ments are to be made for the usual re duced rates over the ti-ansportation lines to those who attend the convention. The indications now point to even a more Interesting meeting than was that of last year. SHERIFF WINS THE CASE. Follotved Decree o the Court No Division of Partnership Pledge. CORVALLIS, Jan. 13.

Governor Geer has received four applications from men who want to represent Oregon at the Pan American exposition, which will be held In Buffalo, N. Y., in 1901. All the appli cants are said to be prominent in business and professional circles. In exposition times generally governors of Oregon have had some difficulty in finding men who would act as delegates, but from the prea- C. OWEN ent outlook there will x be no trouble In that respect, so far as the Buffalo expo sition is concerned. The final accounts of Regina Becker, executrix of the estate of Ernest Becker, and of B. F. Tucker and R. W. Tucker, executors of the estate of Benjamin Tucker, were approved today. The Tucker executors reported that they had been unable to find Milton Tucker, son ot the deceased, to whom $5 had been be queathed, and had placed the money m the hands of the county clerk. About 100 voters registered with the county clerk today. This is the largest number that has appeared since registra tion began. The body of Max Miller, who died in Colfax, Wash., yesterday, will be brought to Salem for burial tomorrow.

Fulton, state health officer, at Astoria, stating that he and the govern ment quarantine officer board and thor oughly disinfect every foreign vessel ar riving in the port. Both officers .exercise the utmost care, and give the matter their whole attention. MRS. TREMBATH GETS NOTHING. Court Finds She Was Not Lawful "Wife of the Insane Patient. OREGON CITY, Jan. 13. County Judge Ryan has rendered a decision In the mat ter of the claim of Mattie Trembath, o'. Portland, against the estate of John R. Trembath, an Insane person. The allow ance of a claim of $50 per month was disallowed for the reason that It was shown the claimant was not the legal wife of Trembath. as the decree of divorce from a former husband had not been en tered on the records in Multnomah county. That part of the petition asking to recover $S0O now in the hands of the guardian, and alleged to have been money held in trust by her husband, was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The court held that the estate of an Insane person or minor was in trust only during such disability; that the matter of the allowance of the claim of $S00 rests with the guardian, and that the only recourse for the claim ant in this case is a suit in the circuit court. The court's interpretation of the matter is that the statute applying to the settlement of the estates of deceased per sons does not cover this case. The Logan Cheese Manufacturing Com pany, of Logan, filed articles of incorpora tion In the county clerk's office today, the incorporators being James M. Tra'cy, Frank P. Wilson and Henry Balsmeier. The capital stock Is $2CO0, divided Into shares of $5 each. The incorporation has already purchased a building lot. and has the lumber ready for the structure. Cheese, butter and all products of milk are the articles to be manufactured. The recent advance in the price of pota toes in the San Francisco markets is stimulating heavy shipments from Clack amas county. A number of New Era growers have not only their cellars and roothouses well filled, but a surplus stored in the barns. A Stafford farmer today sold a small lot of wheat to the flouring mil's for 50, cents per bushel, a slight ad vance on former prices. Quotations of mining Stocks. SPOKAXD, Jan. 13.

FOR 1900 WAS ASSURED AT MEETING IN wooDBinor yesterday. Work With the 1890 Pool Receives Etrery Encourngement-Is Stead ily Gaining:. Friends and Hops. WOODBURN, Or., Jan. 13. A pool of the 1SH0 Oregon hops Is assured oy the State Hopgrowers Association. At the first annual meeting, held here today, the proposals met with universal favor among tne members. What was looked forwaid to as a possible difiiculty aeveioped Into unanimous support, and prominent grow ers gave the assurance that co-operation was not confined to members of the as sociation, although it Is said to comprise a majority of the large growers. Com munications were received from a banking linn largely Interested in hop crops and the representative of one of the largest dealers in the United States, expressing hearty approval of the association's ac tion and promising support. "Work still progresses on the 1S99 pool, as officers of the association state new members are constantly being added with their unsold hops. Vice-President. J. W. Mil presided, in the absence of President M. L. Jones, who, with A. J. Ray, Is in the East nego tiating for the sale of the hops now in the pool. The meeting was mainly for the purpose of considering the 1BO0 pool. Many districts were represented by one delegate, whose authority for action carried much weight. The utmost harmony prevailed, contrary to general expectations, and all seemed practically united on the propo sition of reaching the market through a pool. When the question of a 1E00 pool was brought up, it was adopted without one dissenter, by a rising vote, and amidst great enthusiasm. Details were not con sidered, the board of directors having the authority to make such changes for the pool next season as experience with the present one suggests. The two offices of the association at Portland and Salem, under the direction of the executive com mittee, were reported" to be taking such action as was necessary to get the crop now on hand Into the market to best ad vantage. Reports of new members being added dally were also made, with very promising prospects for united action throughout the hopgrowlng section of the state. A letter from Gilbert Bros., bankers, of Salem, was read, which had especial In terest because of the fact that the firm loans largely to hopgrowers. It was as follows; "When the association was first talked of by your president, Mr. Jones, we had considerable doubts whether it would ma ture or not, and if it did, whether it would prove of lasting benefit to the grow ers. We are happy to state now that our doubts are a thing of the past, and, from all we can see, there is going to be a great benefit tc the growers out of the movement. We have written the secre tary of the association that we are willing that all of our custotners should join the association and pool their hops with you, for we are convinced that both parties will be benefited by that course. We are also satisfied in our own minds that the price of hops is considerably higher at this time than it would have been had it not been for the association. And we would fur ther advise all banks to allow their cus tomers to join the association." A letter from H. J. Ottenhelmer, repre senting Lilienthal & Co., one of the largest firms of the country dealing in hops, was of much interest as showing a decided change In sentiment respecting the association. It was given out that the association would undertake to furnish supplies, such as hop cloth, sulphur and other materials required In cultivation or harvesting. This is to avoid another such corner on any material as was enjoyed by dealers last year on hop cloth, which had to be pur chased at 17 cents. Instead of the usual price of 9 cents. After the meeting the di rectors held a business session in which the only material action was levying a CO per cent assessment, payable in CO days. CHARGES FLATTENED OUT. No Reference to Bribery at the Woodburn Council Meeting1. WOODBURN, Or., Jan. 13. The expect ed sensational developments regarding the franchise and electric light contract and accusations as to bribery of Councilman Gates failed to materialize tonight. No charges were made during the session of the council, which was a surprisingly quiet and orderly meeting. There had been much talk about considerations that influenced certain councilmen in their at titude toward the electric lighting of the city, and charges and counter charges were freely made and witnesses brought forth to substantiate some of them, but when the time for the promised hearing arrived the matter was not even men tioned. A contract for two years for lighting the city was- let to A. B. Kurtz, manager of the Electric L.ight Company, at the rate of ?G SO per light for 10 arc lights of 2000 candle power, which Is a lower rate than that heretofore proposed by Mr. Kurtz. The discussion on the tax levy resulted in the council calling for the opinion of the taxpayers present, all of whom fa vored a low rate or none at all. Speeches were made by S. E. Hardcastle, sr:; P. A. Cochran and others. The council final ly decided unanimously on a levy of 2 mills for bridge purposes only. This is the lowest tax ever assessed by this city. The report of the city treasurer. F. W. Settlemeir. shows cash on hand $Z9 S3, and no Indebtedness of any character against the city. Gates and Dose, when approached bv your correspondent, have no statement to make In renly to Kurtz's charges of at tempted bribery except that they deny every allegation. BOWMXG CIAJBS TIE. Y. Iff.
