Tuesday we rode to Columbia Cify
which continues on the boom. Hoz.
Oaples ha sold another lot this time for
$250 to John Waud. The white tents
of the Chinamen marked the approach
'to the City. We took tea at the Butts
House, kept by Mr. B. C. Failing. It
is a Inely kept hotel and meets the re
'quirements of the times. It has 14 reg
ftlaf Ijoarcfefs and still they come, Mr.
ButCs the owner of the property showed
tis about the premises, and every tiling
bespoke adaptibility to the emergencies
of the times. The" dance-hall has been
Bub-divided into sltrpfflrg roonisy arid
makes the accommodations perfect.
Cliis hotel will have Undoubtedly a great
fun of prosperity. It has opened out
in just the nick of time; Tee site of
Columbia City is very fine, and she has
ita fear of Jtet' 1itdtt the loved' and lost
Lenore, wMcfc every .of id' prophesies
will be a 2nd edition of Ealama. The
great trouble about Lenore will be that
gum boots will be the principal article
tr sale. ' Its situation is too low. It
will have to be built on piles, and then
it will take piles to kep its head above
water and Keep it from drowning. ThL
.has been a great troftble with Portland.
5L Helen and CoTtfmbia Citv are alove
the freshet line, and their growth' will
be permanent Nattfre h'tf-f made these
places fit for a great city, a rival of San
Franciscoy and they will coalesce in one
city that will astonish the oldest inhabi
tants. - , ' 1 ;
We would thank out . many friends
for the way they have stuck by us since
the mist started in to get away our pat
ronage and subscriliers. Our enemies
have had a grand chance to damn them
selves in the. eyes of every respectable
person. They have shown their auimus,
and that is not the only thing they have
'shown. Their utter want of brains,
their utter disregard of principle shows
in uiat literary aiortion, tne mist, me
idiots of the community like the mist
It is just soft enough to suitthe weak
condition of their brains. The more range
it has, like a Columbia county hogVthe
poorer it grows; it is a walking cholera
morbus. Its editor is a sounding brass
and tinkling cow-bell.
Mrs. John Stehman of Rainier was
lately visiting her sister Mrs. F. II.
Hughes at St Helen on Saturday.,-Her
little child had a fit at Columbia City,
and came near dying. She suWriled
for the Columbian. Said it was way
ahead of the mist She is a very pleas
ant, sociable lady, and says Mr. Collund
will send us a box of canned smelt even
if Pomeroy was too mad to bring them.
This industry is one of the live business
es of Rainier, and is bound to be a suc
cess. Glendye met ah unsophisticated in
abitant somewhere in the lower part of
the county. Said personage stoutly re
fused to take mist or water, but the
great Glendye aroused himself like a
Hielligefaht lion, and went for him again.
He carried off the prize, a promise to
take the mist, and returned covered
with glory to fall on the neck of J im.
Muckle and weep tears of heartfelt grat
itude for his triu uphant success. It
was a tetching scene.
Mrs. Roycroft was in town on Tues
day from Carrollton. She said her hus
band is still living, and the report of his
death in the papers was all a myth.
Some papers called him Boycroft, some
Bay croft, Ray croft, Hay croftj and yet
it didn't kill him. He must be tough
to survive so many mistakes. People
might have wanted him to die, but he"
couldn't see it, he was too near-sighted
for that
Mr. Glendye has lieen down to Clats
kanie. and informed some friends he
had got 27000 new subscribers. lie lias
got them 'to get, that is the way he has
got them. "... Each one must have a home?
ppatlnc (ose of mist, arid by time it got
around, all there wouicj ba fqr each
"would be a little due (dew).

Glendye war.is to know when the
boiler gets out of water. He can find
out by the pump, and if there is no
water in the boiler, pump in a little
mist, and charge it to the Muckles; they
are his bankers.
The Muckles nave reported Glendye
has turned Republican. If he has flop

patrons would turn themselves inside

hide and tallow.

the1 lady in a California stage-coach that
was robbe I, and with the Muckles for
bankers feels as well as smells strong.
Mr. George Harris says the visit of
ourself and family acted as a cure, on

joyed it as much or more than they did.
