Among the immigrants who arrived

Commissioner Stephenson: " My name
is Robert Page-, and I was pensioned by
the Government and received pay, at the
Ute of a sixpence a day. One day a
man came to me and said if I wanted to
sell out my pension papers he could get
a good price for them. I was almost
starving at the tin!et and being out of
work, and at the earnest solicitation of
my wife, added to the entreaties of my
children, I sold the right to draw a pen.

I accepted it. and after paying for my

fares I had jll 14s. left, which was
given me in a draft." Page's discharge

CORRESPONDENCE.
Hunter's Point, Oct. 10th. 1884.
Editor or Columbian, Major Dear
Sir: Allow nie a space in the columns of
your local, deeming it of interest to all
concerned residing in our county and to
reach the eyes of a majority of citizensf
1 make the request.
The name Columbian I would change
to Colunibiad, a big gun used for dis
charging large bomb shells, and cannon
balls thereby producing sad havoc In the
ranks of atl enemy as also a very success
ful means in sinking large vessels that
mftj sail through all fo'ja and tnist dm-
ing cloudy and wet weather.
As you are aware I have been associ
ated with several gentlemen and been
throughout the lower portion of the
County in the capacity of Road Super
visor, and I am happy to say that on the
Denver Valley there as fine bodies of
timber, good land?, fine fruit,, and kind
citizens as any one may wish to meet.
During the month of August a route
was located connecting the Co. Road 4
mimics south of McGraw'a Landing, and
running up the Beaver to intersect two
other roads and giving to the citizens of
that locality an outlet to the River a
necessity long wished for and a benefit
to all as the means of disposing of their
produce and the vast surplus of lumber.
Again the Road from Bryantville to
West port is a noteworthy enterprise and
by the energy of T. It. Colviu a good
and easy road has been, gi anted and
mostly completed through as fine a, sec
tion of country as any one would wish
reside in, good houses, barns, orchards,
fences and school-houses fcc. and also an
honest kind and industrious people.
We would say to all persons who wish
to locate take a trip down to the lower
portion of the county, and ycu will be
agreeably disappointed.
Our last duties called us from Echo
Rock to the Clatskanie, and on our way
we found the usual hospitality with
pleasant faces, agreeable conversation,
and plenty of venison, elk, beef, cabbage
and potatoes, always served to the best
advantage when time came to dispose of
them, and, you bet, no one was lacking
in his respective place, for traveling over
fallen timber and through vine-maple
thickets and selecting grounds for a road
give a man a good appetite.
These roads, four in number, have
been called for from necessity and when
completed will be the means of adding
a large population to our county as they
afford an outlet, and the honest and in-
dustrous citizen can get to the River
with anything he wishes to send to mar
ket, and by the enterprising efforts of
the business men of Rainier and other
points on the River plenty of wharves
will be built for convenience of shipping,
and you will find good boats, the Man
zauillo, Toledo, Kellogg, Mountain
Queen, Wide West and a host of others
all ready to take you on board with
your produce.
Now, friend Adams, allow me to say
by your approval, to all citizens along
those routes we are ever thankful for
your kindness, and trust your journey
through the highway of life may be ever
blessed with success. Yours respectful
ly, A. Davis, J. H. Benet, E. Win
geht, Road viewers.
In addition to the above we wish to
say to the Honorable County Court,
grant the request of the petitioners and
the roads m the lower portion of the
county will be made, settlers and enter
prise will flow in, and every one on the
route will have a chance to make money.
In these modern times there can be
no development without the names of
roads.
But roads must be had any way or the
section of county without them must lag
behind iu the race of progress.
P. S. As usual some moss-back will
say that the road should not go through
his land and ask the Court to appraise
damages, claiming from $1500 to 62000
for one sixteenth to 3 acres of ground
and say that lie will have to make fen
ces all around , the road A'c. and at the
same time he growls about taxes he
wants the County to tax the citizens
1500 dollars far his land which he is too
stingy to have assessed for more than
$4 an acre. Such men should sell out
and dig a hole in the ground and put in
something like 1G0 acres of solid rock so
that the foundation would not giye away,
and all sensible people would conclude
his was a good solid farm.

MISCELLANY. j
The Boston Globe tells a story ot hero
ism and its reward, which lifts the av
erage of human worth perceptibly up
wards. It is a working woiitau of Bos
tor., Mrs. Iizzie Clooney, vho, at the
risk of her own life, seized the bridle of
a runaway horse, one dark, stormy eve
ning last April, an 1 clung to it, in spite
of bruises, wounds and a broken rib. un
til she had rescued from imminent death
a little five year-old boy, the only occu
pant of the--buggy attached to the runna
way. She showed herself a true heroine
by belittling her exploit and seekieg to
avoid giving her name to the father of
the rescued child. This latter proved
himself equally worthy of the occasion,
by presenting her with a handsome mel
al, since she would accept no gift of mon
ey, and, unknown to ht-r, placing a thou
sand dollars to her credit in a savings
bank. Sickness and domestic troubles
havo overtaken the brave woman since,
and the generous reward,, of which she
has just been informed, came vey time
ly to her. The name of the grateful
man is Grorge J. IIarrowes, of Dor

the votes must all be in by the first of

that they meet to select a system cf

Some papers, even those that profess

merican man gives the best part of his
life to his country, lays the foundation
for an old age of pain, discrepituda and
penury by exposure, hardship and con
stant excitement of the nervous system,
even, provided he is not wounded, and,
then, the nation, the great magnani
mous American nation, with millions
locked up m its treasury, turns around
and doles him out $2 per month, per
haps $-4 or 8, and then some one who
never had a generous thought in all his
life growls about it, and some aspirant
for office who is willing to eat dirt or
something nastier for a position, takes
another turn to draw tauter the rope
that ties the old soldier like Prometheus
to the rock where the vultures of want
and disease can pick out his vital.s. The
savior of the nation is treated like a
beggar or a pauper. Far happier is he
who died in battle, his grub don't cost
anything, and you can steal a few flow
ers from a neighbor's garden to decorate
his grave, and you can give his memory"
a few songs and words; chin-music is
cheap. He is where his grocery bill
don't run up, and you have the splendid
heritage to grow rich in, and dress your
self gorgeously and feast yourself sump
tuously. Take away his land, and give it to
people who like the Muckles, have just
come frorn Canada, and who sent a son
to the South to fight against the Union,

to say that instructions to bill free of

Mr. Bancroft, a memler of the firm
of A. L. Bancroft A Co., has been the
past week in St. Helen for the intro
duction of Bancroft's series of whool
readers into the Public Schools of the
County. The Bancrofts propose to allow
every scholar the price of his old school
book of the old kind ( Barnes') in a
book of a higher grade of Bancroft's se
ries, when he arrives at the status to re
quire one ; thereby the new school books
will cost a mere trifle, and besides: they
are more modern in their methods and
more adapted to the children of this
coast, beir.g a native production by those
who know the wants and wishes of our
native-born children. Mr. Bancroft cal
culates that Columbia county will save
$157.50 the first year in schoolbooks by
the introductiou of this new series.
Some may ask why do the Bancrofts of
fer such inducements, the reason i3 sim
ply this, vhat they may gain in the fu-.
ture, Washington Territory lias already
accepted their series, and a great part of
California and the accession of Oregon
would establish their books on a perma
