It was ple?.sant occasion, and All who participated ftiite in wishing die old pioneer many harppy liirthday Anniversaries. Dr. Caples is onof Uie pioneer. of Owgon, leaving arrived in Portland in 18-19. The Doctor was iorii in BaJtimore, Md., Mareli 3d, 1805. Wlieh a boy Ee moved to Ohio, And as lve grew up lxca:ne active in pol Jtics. and. won tlie distinction of an el ection to Congress from that State. He earner the Pacific coast in 1649 and .settled in wlmt was then a wilderness, but is 1)0' w the thrivins city of Portland.

On last Saturday we met Mr. Philip ShinlaUVr who keeps a hotel at La Cen tre. Iie"Dave Urt a very interesting ac count of the last day of I. T. Jen nor. On Thursday of th'e week before his de cease he went to Vancouver on matter connected with his law-suits, and walked back js far as Lockwoods. The next day he went home, and from home start ed to Thornton's. They iteard him cry when he had sunk down exhausted, and brought him to their house, and On Sun day to Mr. ShinUfTer' hoWl ai Ia Cen tre. Dr. Davis was at once called. Mr. Shiutaffer h-d Jeniiey stripped and washed, and put in a clean warm bed, and such cordials administered best cal culated to restore his retarded circula tion. Dr. Davis said he was worn down with fatigue, exposure, starvation and want of the comforts of life. Mr. Shin tafier employed two men to take care of hiu, and attend to his wants. His was out of his head tho most of the titne, talking of his law-suits, and troubles. Sunday or Monday Mr. Sbitrtaffer moved hira up stairs, where ha would lie less liable to be disturbed by people going in and out Tuesday he wa4 more ra tional, but spite of the skillful treatment of Dr. Davis, he was evidently sinking, lie soon began clicking aud finally passed quietly away to a land where the wick d cease from troubling And the weary are at rest. Mr. Shintaffer did all that could be done to alleviate his sufferings, and so did Dr. Davis; these men deserve great credit for their kindness, human ity and care for this desolate old man. Mr. Shintaffer got a good clean suit for him to bo buried in and had him a re-pectable-looking coffin made, and ho was buried a a civilized man should be in the cemetery neai La Centre. After his burial Mr. Shintaffer took another man with him, and went down to his house, and secured his papers from de struction. They found a patent to over 200 acres of land, and receipts of value. He ways the hovel was & most misera ble looking place. There were no led clothes but two blankets. It was just a little shanty in which a man could scarcely stand upright People had al ready taken possession of the place, tear- ing COWU irllvca, mm ui iupu iuwh shipment Mr. Shintaffer sent to the County judge Uy Mr. Callahan to ap point some one to take charge of the af fairs arid property of the deceased. Focr old Jtr.ncy rcet in rtace. All hi warfare, trials cease, Death keep off unkindly blows, C-od protects him from hut foe. To ward off their lists and spleen, Dsafi dropped down a sacred screen: Spite they showed tht little one, To the mighty Christ was done. Lift h is topied its weary treadle, No i n now can mar or meddle, Jenney rests in peace forever, Where the wicked trouble never: Kindness finds its own reward, , Une 14 him. dons to the Lord.

A woodyard man has taken to buying candy for the misses and he will miss it a good deal if he don't look out ; six hits' worth at a time will burst him if he don't look but H bites severely. The "Dellu of our city has returned from school. Miss E is quite learned Bow so they say lhe boys have been making the smelt fly for th? last two or three days. Dan Stehnian returned from a visit to Neer City last week. Mr. Elliott's family have been quite sick with the typhoid fever but aro get ting over it now. Mrs. S would like to know who sent the valentine to her. Hoping thi will meet your kind at tention I remain Yours truly, Smart Alec. Bxaver Vallet, March 8th, 1884. Major Adams: Dear Sirl we ja your last week's paper that there was a pet cow and calf in Neer City.

MoCabe, dentist, will bo at St Helens Monday Mch. 17tlu and remain until Wednesday. Mr. Rlakesley's relatives back in the States report themselves dt lighted with th COLTmpIAjr. Ifonfecratic State Convention. The State Democratic Convention1 is herelfy called to meet at Dalles City, on Thursday the 17th of April next, at 10 o'clock A. m., for the p'orrpose of notvuna ing candidates for the following offices: Judgo of the Supreme Court, three Pres riential Electors, Representative in the Lower house of Congress' and District Officers for the several judicial districts and to select six delegates to the Nation Democratic State Convention, and gen : erally to do such other business as may of right come before such Convention. The Convention will le composed of the following delegates: Daker 4 IWnton . . G Clackamas . 6 Clsitaop 4 Columbia 2 CoOn 4 Crook 1 Curry 2 Douglas 7 Grant .3 J ackson ...... G Josephine ..... 3 Kalmath ...... Lake and Kalmalh 3 Lwfte 7 Linn 9 Marion 8 Multnomah 13 Polk 5 Tillamook 2 Umatilla 9 Union...... . f Wasco and Crook . 7 Washington 4 Yamhill C The same Wing one for each 200 votes, and fraction over 100 cast for Hon. J. S. Smith at tlte last general election, and orie delegate at large from each county. Wh also recommend that the new coun ties of Crook and Kulraath send. one delegate at large each to represent them in the Convention, and that the number of delegates allotted to the counties of Waseo and L'.ke, from which these coun ties were formed, Ihj appportioned be tween the jld counties and the new. The Committee reednimend that the primaries be held on April 5, and the County Convention on April 11; subject however, to the approval of the various County Committees. The committee deem it fitting to pre sent to the Democratic vots of the Stat the following considerations: We see approaching an election of most vital import to our com ruon wealth in all its interests, both public and pri vate. Deeming honesty the best policy, and in striking contrast with the course of the opposing party, wt have named an early dtty for the assembling of the Stat Convention. Our principles as a party will then be enunciated and our candi dates placed in the field hubject to the approval or condemnation tit tho body politic. The variance in the. vote of this State during the past few years, and especially the very close contest in the Presidential election of. 1880, gives us much- hope that, notwithstanding our present mi nority with harmony; in our ranks, and a well directed exertion of our strength, we shall carry off the palm of victory. Rut to assur this end it is imperative that all Democrats should Contribute their un divided support and hearty co-operation, not only in the actual canvas, but from its very initiation th county primaries. We do not presume to trespass upon the piovince of our popular Convention, but do earnestly invoke all members of our party to put aside past differences and personal antagonisms, to unite in har monious action in the various primaries, and to send full delegations of represen tative men to attend the State Con Ten tion. We have cleefiied it fitting to reduce the number of delegates in the hope of securing tha personal attend ance of those to be chosen. We es pecially recommetd the formation of lo 5il clubs, where1 practicable, throughout the State. Relieving that thfc success of the De mocracy is the welfare of the people, we cordially invite all persons, regardless of past political affiliations, who favor sim plicity, economy and frugality in the ad ministration of public affairs, to unite with us. P. II. D'Arct, Al. Zieber, Secretary. Cb. D. S. C. C. ft IT. C T. V. We take the following from a commu nication from Mrs. II. H. Hine, Presi dent Oregon W. C. T. U., to the Home Guard: Mrs. M. C. Leaitt, Superin tendent of W. C. T. U. work on the Pa cific coast will commence in Oregon April l?t. Mrs. Leavett comes to us hav ing already won many laurels as an elo quent lecturer and an earnest Christian worker both in her Eastern home and also in California. Much of her life has been given to tho oaue of education, and fho brings into the lecture fielda scholarly and intelligent mind. Miss Willard says of her: "Few woi kcrs have brought into our ranks so much ability and culture qualities that commend themselves alike to the con servative and progressive classes of soci ety, so that she commands success where ever she goes." She visits Oregon hop ing to strengthen the Unions already or ganized, to enlist all good women in tho grand work of tho W. C. T. U., and in every possible way to promote the cause of temperance among us. Like Miss Willard, she oomes with ft woman's heart, consecrated to the great work she has undertaken. She will be in St Hejcn Wednesday, April 2nd LOOXi 1TE"v73 St Helen and Columbia City are bound to be fashionable resorts cfuring the Sammer months as they botlitve elegant hotels, and "are contiguous to splendid trout fishing waters and excel lent hunting grounds. Runker Hill is just far enough off to invite the pleasure seeker. At that point near the big spring it is the intension of Mr. O. W. Harris t put up on his ranch near the famous big spring an elegant hote!. We think in titffe Ranker Hill will be a errand resort of this northwest coast All it wants is a little booming and adver t'siri- Once advertised it will thereafter 0 rest off its. own merits. St Helen is the gate to the fair region of the Scappoose mountains. Seelye's Falls on the North Fork is a grand place. This is owned by G W. McBride, who has been v ry sharp in picking up valuable places in this vicinity. The West Shore has views of remote plice, why don't it let !oo33its artist ii Columbia County to return with views worth looking at. The only views jt has hid, was a view of Muckles mill and Muckles' house. There is lots of beauty besides the beauty of the Muckles in Columbia County, and if we should lose these, delectable people there would be cohesion enough in Columbia County to retain it with tlie ret of the world without the free uses of SpauldingV. Glue. Mr. J. M. Ive retu -ncd from the Cowematt oh Mon.lay. He has Con structed a house on the claim of James Shintaffer to replace the one that was torn down. A man by the name of Crook", foiraerly a hand in MuckleV. mill, we understand, ha attempted to jump Shiutaffer'a claim, or lias taken some steps looking thereto, but James has his eye peeled, and mean3 to stand him off A San Trancisco paper warns the wholesale . merchants from being severe and harsh with Oregon merchants, as this course will alienate Ortgon trade frcm the Bay city, and turn it over to the N. P. R. R to the East The mon ey pressure, the paper states, is only temporary, . and trade in Oregon is on a sound basis, and there is no cause for a panic. Mr. Herbert Corless has leen up from Grey's .River. He reports that as a fine place to live at. As'oria fur nishes them the lest market i.i the State. Many families have settled thrj during the last year.'

Its size is 22x18, and there two back rooms, one for store room, another for a lunch room. It is sne of the finest stands in St Helen, and Mr. Whitney las just fairly bloom ed out in business: Received through the politeness of Mr. R. C Campbell 4 cans of halibut, put up fresh from the cannery of Gtorge Cullen at Rainier. Our family tried them, and pronounces htn ahead of canned salmon. The meat is white, the flavor delicious. Mr. Cullen has our thanks. We predict a great demand. Mrs. Lcruont has returned from For est Gtovr-. She had quite a sick spell when there. Her youngest granddaugh ter Wcods was very sick, also, but was improving Wfore she left John Ca ples and James Woods have bought Iloxter's brick, and two thousand dol lars worth uf the goods contained. . .

The two families now make one. Mrs, Kellogg'st health, is poor, and Mrs. Mol lie Kellogg virtually takes charge of the household affairs. She is a capable, a. mlablo woman, and much liked by her father-in-law and mother-in-law. El ward Mullery who lives on Mul lery's or Emerald Isle hear the Southern part of this pounty has been run off by a vigilance committee or mob. He has come to St Helen for reinforcements. We don't know tho cause of the trouble Mullery hasbeeir a resident of this coun ty since 1 867. Last Thursday night tho Muckles had their mansion illuminated in honor of JatW son being a year old. The house tame near catching Are if it had not been for the timely notioe of Mr. Quick who was passing by. This illumination is ft French Canadian custom, wo under bland, " School "directors who wish to secure thoroughly qualified and j carefully trained teachers for their schools, write to President D.

They have at last hired the Daun Place of Caudle, so we have heard. Mr. D. O. Q uick has opened out in a hotel at Ilillaboro. He wa3 shoved re lentlessly, into bankruptcy, although full handed at the time. A little leniency on tlm part of Iim creditors would have brought hiic out all right, and with plen ty to go on. Mr. George Roussell has a largo clari n painting; he teaches in the good Tem plars' Hall. Mrs. Giltner and Mrs. Dr. Yergain are among his pupils.

It is to be built on the present sitj where the house stands now occu p'ed by Jplm Alexander, near the Court House. It is Mr. Blakesley's intention as soon as the R.

Dr Stewart reports a groat increase in babies on Sw-appOose The wives of Orvillo "Garrison, Janie3 .McQu'n and Peter Lousignont all have babies ; tite mothers and children are doing well, and the lathers are in a fair way; to recover. Dr. Stewart is having hia new office fitted up in grand style, Mr. Arthur George is d ing the work. It is a fine stand. The Dr. has a rushing business in introducing new voters, male and fe male, into Columbia County. Mr. Blakesley had a portrait of him self and his two brothers taken together when back on his visit to th States. He is sitting ; they are standing one on either hand. They are fine raau!y look ing ftllows. ! When Mr. A. II. Blakeslcy gets his hotel completed it is his intention to have the hotel illuminated throughout, and a supper and dance. It is his inten tion to call it the Columbia, a very ap propriate name. j Mrs. Ellen. Perry and her boys intend to run the Dart hotel lately vacated by Mr. Yoing. Mrs. Perry is an excellent housekeeper and a go ahead, energetic woman, and v ry much liked in the community. Columbia Street, St Helen, is much improved by the free nse of sawdust and slabs. It is refreshing te j ride down that street horseback without the horse going down in the mud to his belly. A gentleman having hooked somo grapes, gave them to a litt!e boy, who thanked him in this equiocal style. " When you grow little, and I grow big I will steal some grapes for you."
