The time will como but too'"soon when 101 out of every 100 v.-ho hang en will bit terly curse the day when the " Kalama Branch " too?c poss;sion of Columbia County. There is but one Portland in Oregon. Tell them not to solace' themselves with the thought that Portland is coming to Columbia County, for that thought is a delusion and a snare. This has been prophesied for lo ! these many "days yet ' Portland has gone on the even tenor of ! its way rejoicing. "Your truly, II. M. Watts Our frieuU Watt advises evcrybo ly to sell every thread. This is like Josh Bil lings' advice, "To be healthy-, J-'at onions, and go naked." We propose to keep our shirt on. There is no parallel between Kalama and Carroll ton and Columbia Co. Then there was only a detached piece of road built now there is a v:Jiolc line. We don't want Portland. We don't need to pulldown Partlaad or even float it down to make ourselves big. We are willing she should keep all hr moss backs and all her d--liars. We will take new men, live Kastrrn men, not slow go ing Oregonians. All we want of old Oregonians is the ones w.r have who have-stuck to Columbia County through rain and shine, through sun ar.dstorm, j them we wish to crown as good and Faithful, all others can go to thunder. We should like'to resurrect ome cf our old Columbia Countia-is, for instance old Uncle Billy Watts who believed but died without tho ight, to;prove to the world that he and others like him were not lunatic?, but far-sighted, big-brained men. Columbia County and Columbia County property will go down when the Columbia lliver runs up hill, when they float big ships in milkpans and eat soup with a fork. At the laying of th corner-stone of j the new eap'tol buildings in Bismarck, ' Dakota, were two j -topic we kuetv well, Hon. N. G. Ordway, Governor of Dako ta, and Sitting Bull. N. G. Ordway is a New Hampshire, man, and was one of ourbest friends in days long gone. He was Sergeant-at arms formerly of the House of Representative at Washing ton. He is a fine orator, and made a grand speech at the before-mentioned' ceremonies at which Villard and his guests were prevnt. Old Sitting Bull we fought, and would like to have his scalp as companions orthe two scalps of the rascally savages, Red Dog and Big Thunder we made good Indians and sent to. the Happy Hunting Grounds for the atrocities they perpetrated on helpless women and babes in Minnesota. A list of pensioners is to be published by the Pension Oflice. This is a good idea. Gleiuhe was going to take away our pension so he hinied. If he does lie j ought to talre the bullet out of our body also. Though he was in the army of the Potomac he was not even hit in the heel by a cannon-ball asacertaimotlicial mist backer reports he was, who was not in jured, however, he was going so much faster than the cannon-ball. Glendye thought us able-bodied because we whipped him, but a one-legged or one armed soldier can whip any of our ene mies, they are cowardly whelps anyway. Friday Mr. Villard came up from Ka lama to Portland over thf road. Judge Moore says it took only 17 minutes for the transfer boat to cros?. LOCAL NEWS A notable wedding occurred at Blakes ley's hotel on Wednesday. Ale Neer, proprietor of Neer City, war married to Miss Lonnda Ana Link. Miss Link Is 52 00 ! a younrr iil(jv who canio about a year a 1 ij ' " . .50 j from Cornwall in Canada. She is a I tin.' sensible, girl, and looks as if sTie &l 00 ' vro,i1 niako the ljfcst kind of a wife. Her mother is tho wile ot lieorgc J:ow- ler, and one of the neatest and pleasant- est appearing ladies we ever met Her very looks pronounce her the splendid housewife ana liifccl and air.-eable wife , , , ntnl mtitbor iter aaugnter appears to have been trained with srreat care, and ... WP congratulate our iriend on his gootr . , , . , sensrt m the selection of a wife. The , . ; , ,. . ,, bride was splendmiy vet tasteful' v ar- rayed in a satin brocade of banana brown, the most fashionable color at present. It was heavily' trimmed with lace. She wore some jewelry but was not overloaded as many Oregon girls are. The bride's mother whs dressed in I remarkably good taste. We guess she ! was kept for sunshine for the whole i . . . crowd, sue seemed to dtiiuso so much pleasure to every one. Judge 'Moore performed the marriage ceremony in a "rattuations to the groom and bride were i ! , j heartfelt; and sincere. Mr. BUkesley ,. , J set out a dinner lit for kings. We i , ... i thought we detected in the elegantlv-pre- ' ,. " 1 ! pared cake the handiwork of Mr. Me- Loughlin. The following were guests of Mr. Neer at the wedding, George Fowler and wife, John Link, Dickinson Link and wife, Mrs. Forbes of Etna and son William, a splendid-looking little fellow, William Link, Amsy Link, a darling boy, and Alice McDonald. There were other witnesses present at the wed ding, Reuben Joy and sister Clara, S. G Caudle, W. B. Dillard, Obed Blakesley and Major Adams. He gavo a splendid party in the evening, we understand, as La farewell to the bachelors and a salute to the corps of benedicts in which he has just entered. His marriage is a neer. link, may it be a golden link in the chain of his life's happiness. There was a young man formerly liv ing at St. Helen who thought himself sadly aflected with a bad Ireath. He chewed cardamom seeds, used all kind cf perfumery, took -countless pills, doctored his blood, and resorted to all kind of ex pedients. He dieted, hs grew thinner, he pined like one in love, and still he smelt worse and worse. Ho noticed he appeared the most malodorous when his overcoat was on, and con-eluded his blood must be heated s.nd sulphurou3 and bor dering on an incipient hell, and so be came fairly wild and frantic. He seri ously contemplated suicide, and was on the point of shuffling oflf this mortal coil when he accidentally discovered a mouse had been crushed to death in the front padding of his overcoat, and was exhal ing itself to heaven in noxious gases. It was the shaking oli'of a terrible night mare. The mouse was taken out "with great hue and cry and and quietly laid away in the j sheltering shade of balmy groves. Some people think we are too hard on tho Muckles but let them take our place and have the Muckles heap thousands up by fraudulently using their property and use those thousands in every fiend ish way to injure them, that-.a ldw-elass Englishman is capable of, and then see how they would like it. Cox told us the tirst run of logs they made after they boomed our place in, they cleared ten thousand dollars. A leadincr Mason q of whk.h Mucklea aro hon ored (?) members, said it was the vilest fraud that human beings ever perpetra ted on other human beings. As the son of a Mason Jt seems we should not be beyond the sympathy of honest Masons. We met on the fountain Qrieen a Mrs. Mendenhall, a Quaker lady of the land of Per.n. She and her granddaugh ter came out on the third train that left Duluth for Portland. She is 76 years old, and a lady of intelligence, a fine conversationalist and of the highest and holiest principles. Her granddaughter was modest and unaffected. Thev were charming society, and wo parted with them with feelings of regret Her son is a prominent man in the N. P. R, R. at Duluth. They were bound to Seat tle to visit an aunf of the younger lady. When going up on the Zucea Mason we met Mr. Pratt, teacher of the Pub- lie School at La Center. He is an old soldier, and well-educated man, a native of Massachusetts. We wish ho could bo persuaded to start a permanent institu tion of learning at Columbia City, one of the best points on the Columbia lliv er for such an enterprise. It seems as if teachers ambitious to achieve a grand success are unusually stupid in letting such a magnificent opportunity slip their fF&r- Z3J. M Roberts, Dentist, will not be at St Helen till Monday, Sept. 24th beiug the 4th Monday of the month j inatead of the 3d. The Willamette Farmer speaks of Knight and Stratton as equal to Beecher. Well I declare, perhaps it is so, but the world has not found it out. The world is uncommonly stupid, yon know. It is worth whila to have a paper that will praise up home product??. Wo raise tho largest squashes, and why should we not raise the largest orators too The East Portland Vindicator thinks little of Beecher. This paper heired the remai is of the Albina Herald by entail. If Beecher heard its adverse criticisms wouldn't he weep 1 The Vindicator should get our illustrious Con vers to pump his brains into it. m Moses Stingley is 73 years old being born Sept, 10th. 1810. lie has 16 chil dren, 33 grandchildren and S greatgrand children. He was born in Hardy Co. Virginia, has lived in Tippecanoe Co. Indiana, and last came from Nodoway Co. Missouri. He has had three wives, but is now a widower. Two only of his children remain under the paternal care Noah and Orleany, who came out from Missouri vith him. Mr. Stingley is a champion fiddler, and just like Orpheus almost make trees walk. S. G. Stingley is one of his younger sons. The Muckles have tilled up Skamock awa Creek with their logs so the in habitants can with difficulty get in and out: as this is the only highway vou can imagine the inconvenience. The peo pie will appeal to the County J udge to j serve an injunction on them for block ing transportation. The name Muckle has a sweet sound wherever they have operated. Jim Muckle ought to start out and run for Congress If he voted for himself he would get one vote. Wash and Bill are the .loggers we understand. Airs. Heitinan, daughter of Judge Lancaster is very sick at Vancou ver, and Mr. and Mrs. Tyszkicwicz and daughter were bound thitherward on Monday. Mr. T.'s little daughter Beatrice escape 1 the scarlet fever when that awful disease fell upen the fiinily, Mr. Sneath, the pas tor of the Presbyterian Church who was boarding with them, being the only vic tim, and his death rather a subsequence than an immediate result of this malig nant epidemic. He died somewhere on the Sound. At the driving of the last spike Capt. White, Judge Moore, Mr. Bogue and Mr. E. W. Bliigham were present. They a!' however, left, except Bingham and lie in reality had the last hit at the last spike on the Northern Pacific Railroad, on the hereafter world-renowiud Scap poose. Mr. Bingham is a Pennsylva nia!! by birth a good business man and a gentleman. He has traveled exten sively in foreign countries is a tine but unobtrusive conversationalist. Jinl Muckle is trying to get away our Chinaman, says he will give him $21 per month, invites him to call often on his wife who is heap high-toned. Says he will hire a young lady and pay her $12 per month, to teach Chinamen. If Jim Muckle keep'i btt he might get to be mandarin, and have a button on his hat. He had better go to China and associate altogether with Chinamen, in stead of tryinj to associate with white people. Rev. T. W. Fleming lectured here on Tuesday evening on the subject of Tem perance. He belongs to Clayton, Illinois, is a Methodist preacher, blind as regards temporal things, but clearsighted as re gards the spiritual. His lecture was good so those that heard it say. He comes well recommended. He had a young son to guide his earthly feet aright He used to be in the butcher business in Vancouver with II. B.Wood. Tuesday morning abont 2 a. m, at the Esmond Hotel as we lay in our bed we heard some one go around through the various hall-, and rapping on Rtiiidry and divrs doors sing out "Turn off your gas or you will bo "charged." Ac one room he met a loud response from a per son who appeared indignant at being o uncermoniously waked, " Chacge and be dammed." Saturday we rode up to Mr. Gill's, and had a very pleasant time. Mrs. Gill was a Preston; and her ancestor's man sion was at Dover, N. 11. She has also relatives living in Berwick, Maine. She s 1. .11 is a rehned, modest yen intelligent woman. A gentleman showed us a chicken-coop on the Mountain Queen, full cf chickens all the way from Iowa. The emigrants heard eggs were high in Oregon, and so j concl uded to lay their own eggs on the way. W. II. Whitney lias enlarged hi.s place of business. He has made it twen ty feet square. He will have an en larged Ad. in next weeVs paper. We wish all parties wjiild cease gunning on our land. They ruay get a duck, or a shot in the rear they don't expect. Mr. J. S. Davenport has a splendid collection of picture-frames for sale, also whips, not black-snakes, and canes for dude. On 'Thursday Sept. 14th we went to Columbia Oily to see Villard, but Yil lafd went down on the boat ; whtn, in going down, we arrived at Broylos' Station we found there Mrs. Perry and son George and Miss Nettie. They I witnessed a passenger coach pass. This week we learned from Capt White it contained Gehl, Anderson, U. S. Inspec tor of tho road and Mr. Montgomcry- Alma Godkin has a, voice the sweet est we ever heard except that of our lit tle boy Bernal Henry; she staid Wednes day night with Blanche, and often cried for her father for whom she lias the strongest attachment Blanche in the middle of the night sung out to us, 'Al ma has waked, she says she lias seen her father in her dreams ad is happy, he .said, ' Come on, Blanche is coming.' Mr. and Mrs. Allen hzve arrived home. Mr. Allen has been away to Southern Oregon, and Mrs. Allen aud family have been to her father's at For est Groje. They look much improved in countenance. Mrs. Allen savs she had a magnificent time. She had a fine photograph of her little girl Ethel taken at the Grove which possesses a first-class artist She presented it to Blanche. One of the official clique loooked as if they wanted to pass the time of day with us in a friendly manner since they had ignominiously failed in their at tempts to crush us out, but we felt like our gallant old Revolutionary gi'and father, Stephen Sanderson who when an enemy pt offered his hand replied "Ev ery dog shake his own paw." We on the Lucea Mason formed the acquaintance of a beautiful lady Mrs. Farrarand daughter Elsie, of Sebec. She was a Quiniby; also of a Mrs. Under wood, who lives on Haley Creek back of La Centre. She was a Cloyes. Her mai den name was Lee of Boston. Her hus band, Cloyes fell dead in Portland two years ago. We bought $20 of dry wood of Mr. Allen. Mr. Allen had rick specially up for us at the rear of oar place but Muckle's teamsters, although informed it was ours, hauled it away. If it would only enhance the fires where the Muck les are bound to go it will reconcile us for the loss of the wood. Mrs. Drew has been down to Co wo rn in to ioit Mr. Harvey's family. The trip has done her good. She look? much younger. Mr. Drew is looking land, and his wife encourages him to fasten on to a piece of land as it is going. She is right, women always have good souse about getting a home. Mr. William Slavens will soon re move his family to the vicinity of the Red House above Portland. Their lit tle daughter Rosa is only ten day3 young er than our dear little boy Btrnal Henry, the loved and lost Everyone will re gret to lose this pleasant family, who are so universally popular. Received a visit Wednesday from a high-toned Chinaman, Mr. Hong. He had his quo cut off or concealed, hd on store clothes, a watch-chain with a charm, and talked very much like a cockney. Indeed we thought hin1 a late arrival fromSitting Bull, till he inquired for our Chinaman. i Mrs. George Merrill and Mrs. S wager on Wednesday were up from Deer Is land. Mrs. Merrill has lenewed her youth, like the eagle's since she lost her Glendye and Mrs.. S wager always did look well. If the Deer Island married ladies look so well the unmarried must be charming. Received a call last week from. West Harkleroad and family. Ho has three beautiful children. His oldest daughter lie intends to educate in Portland. Ho was conveying his wife to St Helen to go to visit her sister, Mrs. Turnahan whom she' has not visited for ten years. 1 h Saw Colonel Taylor of" Astoria nass down on the boat Wednesday. He looked as if the years sat lightly on him. He very warmly invited us to visit him. The Colonel has a very likely family, and is a progressive, man in his ideas. , Prcfesser E. E. Quick has taken his family and gone to visit his father at Mountain Dale. Mrs. Quick is one of the most beautiful ladies in the commu nity, loved by all, and the professor's baby i.s a prize baby or ought to be. We noticed along the Scappooe road Mr. Cope'and has trimmed up some hltlc Irs anil cut oil' the top of a maple. No one hardly can realize how tva.sy it is to beautify the highways, and how much pleasure it affords Wni. Emerson had the Scarlet Fever. He had it lightly, but before he was fairly well went to ditching, and the desease settled in his knee so he was compelled to be sent to a Hospital in Portland. The ranch Mr. Gill bought for $2200, ho is now offered $5000 for. It is ex pected tho Bay view Depot will be near Mr. Gill'i house. He will wait on that account and build after things are set-t1ed.

We en joyed them hugely. His daughter Mrs. Ferchen is visiting him now. Miss Lottio May Stewart and Merton Stewart are soon to leave for their Kan sas home. The have made many friends who will regret their departure. One of the mostprouiinent members of the Pioneer procession in'Portland in honor of N. P. R. R. completion was our well known townsman, S. A. Miles. Francis and Willie Miles are great workers. They believe in earning their own living instead of being white-gloved gentlemen dependent upon a rich father. Mr. Tyszkiewicz new seeded his fields a year ago, and the high-freshet ruined them so lie had to new seed them this year. Mr. Tyszkiewicz springs- from a family of nobles in Poland.
