Miss Callis Munson of Warrenton,
who it clerk of the school district
there, has commenced taking the an
ul school census and will complete
it by the end of the month. Her
figures already show a gain in the
school population 'oyer last year,
when -the total number -of- children
between the ages of 4 and 20 years
was 110. Already Miss Munson has
listed for this year 129 and there may
be a few more. This seems to indi
cate that Warrenton it growing
steadily.

J, S. Bailey, county treasurer-elect
of Wahkiakum county, Wash., has
bought the. Columbia River Sun from
George F. Hannigan, and, will take
possession on the first of December
next. Mr. Bailey wants to be sure
of having an ""organ" he can rely up
on in case of any misapprehension or
misdirection among the good voter
over Cathlamet way; - and, realising
the peculiar benefit the Sun has been
to Mr. Hannigan, bought it with an
assurance that was quite '..certain.
MV. Hannigan will enter the, real es

the Sun won't suffer by the change,
since both men are among the very
best of the Wahkiakum citizenry.
Get Your Umbrella V i.
The management of Whiflian't
book store wishes to say that when
it agreed to receive the umbrellas left
at the Philharmonic , concert, it did
not know there wa any mix-up, or
trouble, over same, and that it is not
in position to do anything but re
ceive what umbrellas left in and de
liver those claimed. It don't know
the ownert of any of the umbrellas
left and will not be responsible for
them, or enter into any petty dis
putes over them. It wishes to be as
accommodating as possible, but has
not the time, or inclination, to dis
pute the ownership of umbrellas left.
If you have lost an umbrella come
in and look -over what have been left
and take it. ; .
Future Looks Bright : '
At a meeting pf the directors of
the brick plant company held last
night , in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms the Financial: status of the
corporation was thoroughly talked
over. It is hoped to soon have the
plant in full operation. There have
been ', delays and set-backs for
one reason or another, perhaps al
most to be expected in the organiza
tion of a new business of this nature,
but. the plant it now established, the
clay for the bricks is there, and there
seems no valid reason why the con
cern should not be soon gotten on a
good k financial basts and making
bricks for the Oregon market. After
the meeting it was , said that the
plant will soon be in full operation.

Water Commission
Investigation tend to show that
one or more of the gentlemen named
for the water commission may pos
sibly be affected by the charter pror
vision which provides that every
candidate must be a taxpayer and
pay at least $23 in taxes "to the
city." Members of the Republican
city committee yesterday endeavored
to reach some understanding on the
matter, and it was announced that m
strict Interpretation -of the provision
will be demanded. Candidates elect
ed In such a manner would at all
events be de facto officers and their
act probably never could be que'
tioncd. It seems to be agreed on all
tides that the charter provision needs
rviion, at it has tendency to keep
tome of the bent of citizens, and men
of much property In the city, from
being elected to the water commit

Building Ordinance
It would, appear almost imperative
that a building ordinance be passed
by the .new council after the first of
the new year. On every hand it is
admitted that tuch an ordinance is
badly required, and probably there it
not member of .- the, present coun
cil who doet not clearly tee the
necessity for such a municipal regu
lation, and yet perhaps it would be
too much to expect the present coun
cil to act now in the face of the com
. m . .
ing election, ine passage ot such a
regulation is sure to tread on the
toes of certain property owners. It
is said to be due to their influence,
in part, that the city of upwards of
15,000 people hat gotten along with
out any adequate regulation of this
nature; Chief Foster of the fire de
partment state that in his annual
report at the first of the year he will
urge the passage of a suitable build
ing ordinance.. The need of one has
been demonstrated more than on:e
recently. At present all that is re
quired is to get a permit to con
