The county colnmlssloiiers' Septem ber court was convened yesterday and numerous claim were paused upon. The most important builnes was the Issue of the following notice, which speiika for Itself: "To the Taxpayers of Clatsop Coun ty: We, the county court, while con sidering the niteds of the county and the welfare of the taxpayers, desire to stale that there are many matters before the court requiring large expen diture of money, but that the game I mostly for roads and bridge, and while the court is not opposed to roads or any other public Improvement that can be afforded, it is the opinion tf the court that the first and most Im portant at this time Is a court house and Jail nnd the court with the Idea that some beginning should be made will consider this aa of the most Im port a nee at the time of the next tax levy, at the January term, 1903. and will endeavor to make a start for a fund to the end that before long Clat sop county may possess a creditable court house and Jail without Impos ing too much of a burden on the tax payers during any one year. RETURN FROM EUROPE. After an absence of two years Mr. and Mrs. Wihfim . WiUlnson re turned to their home In th:s city jte- toilay morning. After leaving Asto ria eastwards iln :oiifiits toseed through old Mexleo at.d wnt tight cji south to Central America, crossing the Isthmus of Panama and binding on Ihe Eastern coast. Thtn to New York for a short stay. After leaving New York a five months' visit was paid to the Rermudm lo .ivold the rigors of an English Inter. '!. ''!!klnson Is a grundHon of the first governor of those islands nnd has many relations there. After bidding farewell to that charm ing group of Hand a start was made for London, which was made the main hendquarter for n ywr ui.d a half's study of the piimi , points of inter est In Europe, and the word study is used died'y. for Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson did not simply take a pass ing glance and move on. In fact, they chow an extraordinary knowledge of the details of all the naln Western European cities. "Florence is a para dise," said Mrs. Wilkln-ion, "but Rome s the gran lest of all. ;tlss Frances Thomas, Mrs. Wilkinson's niece, rath er adopted daughter, has a penchant for Paris, but has found great attrac tions In Northumberland. Nice, Venice, Pompeii, Berlin and all the best points of Interest were thoroughly well done" and the old countries never had more enthusiastic globe-trotters. Mr. Wilkinson, like most men, prefer red London. The coronation was tak en In and the ladles of the party are simply In love with the beauty and grace of Queen Alexandra. The best part of the pageant, after the king and queen, were the magnificent uni forms and horses of the Biitlslv army. The tourists speak highly of the hos pitalltv they received nnd did not find the English nobility so unapproachable ns thev are generally supposed to be. Mrs. Wilkinson's description of the Westminster Abbey decorations was very Interesting. In Rome they had the pleasure of meeting that prince of guides Dr. Russell Forbes, so well known all over the world. Mlsa Llon berger, Mrs. Wilkinson's sister, accom. panted her a large part of the time, but Miss Thomas took In the whole trip and has become c.ulte an English politician. A splendid rollecMon of the most Interesting curios Is one or the results of a very happy trip. WATCH YOUR TIMBER CLAIM. Some of the timber claims over nt Deep River, Wash., are In jeopardy.

Constable Ileasley and Mr. Cutblrth, the painter, left In a launch on Tuesday morning. The three former have had their cab ins, up for some time and it Is thought that the latter will have fulfilled all requirements by this time. This morn Inr another butch of holders leave for the scene. . MANY WILLING TO MARRY The management of the Portland Cilrtiival has had not less than a dozen applications from as many young men throughout the state. Including one or two fotn nearby towns In Washington, to be married under the auspice of the carnival. Half of these applica tions have had to be turned down be cause the directors could not take care of all of them and provide entertain ment and the usual supply of pres ents to start the young couple off in life happily. The notices given by the manager that swain without the price should be set up in houseketp Ing at the company's expense was sufficient to start a rush of applica tion that fairly took their breath away. There will be a triple wedding ceremony on Wednesday evening, Sep tember 10, at the carnival, In the pre, ence of the queen and her court, and raanv high dignitaries. The presents for each couple aggregate from $400 to J 1500. One of the fortunate young men who Is to be married at the carnival live at Tillamook. ST. NICHOLAS ARRIVES.
