Rainier haa a aplendld harbor and wlt Ita excellent transportation and Ita larg-e area of timber tributary to the city it la bound to grow, r .' Timber ia Columbia county'a one great naeet. Ita standing timber paya taxea on. a valuation of $7,410,190. while all other property in the county la taxed at 17.779.020. j.'V a ro PnbUe -and. The area of Columbia county ia 6G2 aquare mllea. Unlike most of Oregon'a countlea, there Ja no public land, either government or national forest land, within the county. Though all of Ita land la in private ownership lesa than 3 per cent of its area ia in cultivation. ' A dosen or more logging railroads rim back from the Columbia river into the densely timbered districts in the eoaat mountains. In addition to the Columbia river it has many other rlv era and atreama, including . the Ne halem and Clatskanle rivers and Scap poose creek. Beaver creek, Milton creek and others of lesser alee. ' Cruisers' estimates vary as to the amount of timber within the county but most of the estimatea give the county between 9,000,000,000 and 10, 000,000,000 feet of standing merchant ableytimber. Columbia county is almost one solid : forest of fir timber with here ani there some cedar, larch, spruce ani : hemlock. Eventually a considerable i part of Its 80,000 acres of logged off i lands will be converted into stock or . dairy ranches. The low lands along the Columbia river are very rich end on account ' of the mild climate they are peculiar ly adapted to the raising of eerly veg etables and small fruits. Eventually most of the river bottom land will be used aa- truck gardena to supply thi Portland market. Celery, asparagus. cauliflower, tomatoes, , beans, straw berries, loganberries and raspberries do particularly well. With a climate so mild that cattle can graze all the year round Columbia county la an ideal dairying district and it la only a question of time when more attention will be paid to thla Industry. . Among the principal towns in tho county are Clatskanle, Qoble, Mist, Rainier, Scappoose, St. Helena and Warren. ' VeV" , 1 "" ':i'"yt ' "" i x',-' ' a I ftlV5-'x-?V.'f;3 THRE ARE ONE LOST.

Clint Victim of Sunday Morning Wreck Off Sunset Bay, Near Coos Coast. j CRAFT BECAME DISABLED Torn Patteraoa and Sd Englemon Were Takes in Tow by Boat Tfaat Was Swamped Shortly Afterward. Marshfield. Or., May 22. M. J. Clint lost his life and thre other men had narrow escapes from death before be ing 'rescued when two fishing boats were wrecked off Sunset bay Sunday morning. Clint was in a boat with Charles Ba ker deep sea fishing for halibut. Tom Patterson and Ed Englebom were in another boat. Their shaft broke and became disabled and Baker took them in tow. An attempt was made to get into Sunset bay, a small harbor of ref uge used by fishermen Just south of Cooa bay. The tow line broke and tbe Patterson boat, helpless, was dashed on the rocks. S track by Wave. Just then a big wave struck the Ba ker boat. It was swamped and sunk. Baker managed to cling to one of the many rocks which, iorm a reef at that point. Clint clung to a keg buoy. The trouble was seen from shore and the boat Sea Dog went out. It res cued Patterson, who was still hang ing to his boat, and Baker, who was clinging to the rock and almost ex hausted. When the Patterson boat struck the rocks, Englebom Jumped out and swam toward the shore. He was picked up In the breakers by Han Hansen. He scarcely had strength to swim any further In the heavy aurf. Clint clung tcr the keg .buoy for tbout an hour, but before aid could reach him he became exhauated and let go and disappearedThis afternoon his body, was washed, ashore. The Patterson boat came in with the surf. Clint was formerly a salesman for Charles Thorn, who conducted the North Bend brewery, but lately, since ta former brewery has been handling lish, had been a deep sea fisherman with Baker. He was well . known throughout the county and was about 40 years of age. Had Trouble Before. A week ago Baker ana Clint were outside when their engine broke down. They drifted 30 miles south in a rough sea before getting the engine started, but got back safely, and only three weks ago nad trouble on tne bar when towing another boat in and were nearly swamped. The Sea Dog arrived in Sunset Bay at 5 this morning with Charles Baker and Tom Paterson, the two fishermen rescued. Uneasiness had been felt as it was not known whether the men had been picked up dead or alive but they were brought in safely. After being in tbe water it was necessary for them to be exposed in the open boat for nearly 24 hours as the sea was too rough for the Sea Dog to cross at Sunset of Coos Bay until this mornlns. The body of Clint was brought to Marshfield and will probably be buried here.

Mary's Peak Scaled By Mazama Scouts E. T. Peterson sad W. W. Brans Climb 4400 root Mountain and Ara Amply Bepald by the Trip. K. F. Peterson and W. W. Evans, two well known Mazama leaders, have Just returned trom a scouting trip to Mary's Peak, a 4400 foot eminence, about 20 miles west of Corvallla. The two left Portland early Satur day afternoon and at :30 p. m. they made camp at the Mary's River Log ging company's camp, about six miles from the summit of the peak. An early start was made Sunday morning for the summit . The climb to the top took about two and one-half hours. Upon reaching the top the climbers found a dense cloud enveloped around the peak. It snowed continu ously during the two hours they spent Un the summit. Patches of snow at the summit measured from 16. to 30 feet deep. On the eteeper slopes some fine sliding was enjoyed. The summit of Mary's Peak la above the timber line. It consists of about 600 acres of ground, covered with fine grass. As the two were leaving the sum mit a bad sleet storm struck the peak and before they reached the timber I they were covered with a coating of I ice. 1 They returned to Portland late last night. Messrs. Peterson and Evans will lead a Mazama trip to the peak June 10 and 11 and they state that this trip is the best one they have ever taken, and it should be well at tended. They state that there is an excellent field for the nature-lover, the botanist, and the strenuous mountain eer. The view from Mary's Peak is con sidered most wonderful on a clear day. One can see to the north and ea&t Mounts St. Helens, Hood. Jefferson, Three Sisters( and Mt. Pitt, also the towns of Albany and Corvallls. To the west the Pacific ocean can bs seen 35 miles away. The last one artd one-half miles of the climb Is quite steep, but the climb er is doubly repaid for the effort, , when be reaches the summit. mil' t Two Sisters Hurt In Auto Accident 'Two sisters, the Misses Alice and Agnes Sterns, were slightly injured about 10:15 last night when the auto mobile in which they were riding a East Stark and Thirty-seventh streets ran into a pile of gravel In the atreet on which no light had been placed.
