but one flood tide thai was not succeeded
by an ebb. Don't flatter themselves
that it will last alway, no, not much.

out of every 100 v.-ho hang en will bit

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?.

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

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.

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

nant epidemic. He died somewhere on

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

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

room he met a loud response from a per
son who appeared indignant at being o
uncermoniously waked, " Chacge and
be dammed."

Alma Godkin has a, voice the sweet
est we ever heard except that of our lit
tle boy Bernal Henry; she staid Wednes

for her father for whom she lias the
strongest attachment Blanche in the

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

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

is right, women always have good souse
about getting a home.

Received a visit Wednesday from a
high-toned Chinaman, Mr. Hong. He
had his quo cut off or concealed, hd on

charm, and talked very much like a

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

ladies look so well the unmarried must
be charming.
