of Meier & Frank, of Portland, Is to
open a big branch establishment in
the quartera aoon to be vacated by
Mayor Wise, on Commercial atreet,
There was no way to confirm or dis
prove the atory yesterday .and It may
be taken for what It la worth until
the parties In Intorost are heard from.

Pai Th Word, Everybody
In Just three weeks time tho low
rates' from tho East and Middle Vet
will expire, and It behooves everybody
to apprise their friend back there of
the value of making use of them with
out delay. It might be an excellent
thing for the clergy of tho city to make
this fact known o their several con
gregatlon from tho pulpits of the city,
as the teacher are doing from the
school rostrums' of the city. No
chance must be lost to mnko Imme
dlato use of tho cheap fares to this
const and especially to Clatsop county.
Hi Luok W, With Him
A man fiy the name of H. Johnson
came very near passing In his chocks
cla the Columbia rlvor routo on Sun
day night last. Ho got desperately
full of corn-julco and ventured too far
out on the piling directly hack of the
Chinook saloon on Bond street, and
slipped off Into tho dark and grlzxly
river. His voice wns s'tlll In good re
pair, nnd the yells ho emitted brought
Billy Ford to his rescue, and he was
promptly roped, and dragged ln-shore
under the piling until he was directly
undor the beershoot of the Chinook,
through . which he was drawn up to
safety and another hot drink, after he
had partaken of which, he was dumped
Into a wheelbarrow and piloted up to
the cooler. Judge Anderson soaked
him again yesterday afternoon.
Th Columbia Sheriff.
Sheriff J. M. White, ft Columbia
county, came down from Rainier on
Sunday and spent the day as a wel
come guest of Sheriff and Mrs. M. R.
Pomeroy. In conversation with a re
porter of this paper the up-river sher
iff declared that the people of Colum
bia county were almost a unit In their
fixed opposition to the terms and pro
visions of the Port of Columbia bill,
and that they would send up an ad
verse expression on It whenever It be-

came tlma to utter it. Personally,
Sheriff White Is diametrically opposed
to tho measure and declares It but an
other manifestation of the hoggish
spirit of Portland enforced through the
overwhelming numerical strength of
tho metropolis In all matters that reach
an eloctornl status In the state.
Happy Sunday Record
On Sunday afternoon last at the
hour of 8:30 o'clock there occurred at
tho home of Mr. and Mrs. Jens Jackson'
No. 1771 Irving Avenue, the happy

Ellas' Gerdlng, yastor of the Norwegian-Danish
church. At the conclu
sion of the ceremony, the guests sat

young people were overwhelmed with
congratulations and best wishes.
She' A Good 'Un
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Goodln, of this city there appeared on
Sunday last, a new and handsome lit
tle daughter. iThis accounts for the
presence of the big contractor over
here yesterday, from his Oak Point
engagement.
