This season will see the building of a paper mill on the Columbia at Multnomah Falls, near the Cascades. Major f. J. Blakenoy, life service inspector of this coast will again visit Astoria in the latter part of this month. A fleet of Badollet & Co.'s boats are m the water on the north of Sque moqna streat and present a trim ap pearance. There will be an adjourned meet ing of the chamber of commerce held at the room of the president at 7:30 this evening. Annie Urquhart 1ms been ap pointed postmistress at Chehalis, J. L. Lyons as postmaster at Pekin, and T. 13. Perkins at Kalama, W. T. At the Portland school meeting last Monday evening a five mill tax for the1 support of the schools, was levied. 250,000 was spent in '82. A Russian named Alexander Barballa was yesterday examined be fore a medical board, and adjudged insane. He will bo taken to the asy lum to-da3 Parties recently from Salem state that William De Lashmntt, who was sent to the penitentiary from Astoria last winter for kidnapping, is very low with consumption. Kcivs. Will C. King, lecturer for the grand lodge of I. O. G. T.. will deliver an address upon tho nature and effects of alcohol, at the Presbyterian church at half-past seven, this evening. We are glad to learn from the at tending physician that Dr. Kmsey is out of danger, the fever having bro ken, and he resting easier. It was a bad shaking up for a gentleman of Jus years. The Welcome hears that the Knights Templar of Oregon, have chartered the steamship Queen of the Pacific to take them to the monster meeting of that branch of the Masonic Order in San Francisco. At the annual meeting for school district Xo. 18, held on the 5th inst., Thomas Dealey was elected a director to serve for the term of three years, and C. W. Shively was elected clerk for the term of one year. Capt Brown, of the firm of Brown & McCab'e. is in the city. His resident partner, Win. L. McCabe, is quite ill, suffering from rheumatism. He was conveyed yesterday to good quarters at St. Mary's hospital. The C. L. Taylor, recently aban doned off Cape Flattery, is now off the entrance to Barclay Sound. When deserted sho had starboard anchor and seventy fathoms of chain out, and this has kept her offshore. Oregonian. Mon "from Redding tell the Ash land Tidings, that the general under standing at that place is that about 5,000 men will be sent to the front about the 10th of this month, to begin work on the extension of the railroad northward. The Qoast Mail says the investi gation of the conduct of Desmond, life saving station keeper at Cape Arago, will probably result in a "whitewash." It characterizes the ex amination as one-sided, as Desmond has influence with officials. Those who were present at the open lodgo meeting of tho American Legion of Honor, last Saturday, are loud in their praises of the declama tions of little Edith Conn. Tho little lady has already a state reputa tion for her remarkable powers and is a prodigy of infant talent. The Young America sailed for San Francisco to finish cargo yester day. The Cheesebrough commenced unleading: tho Tam O'Shanter came down from Ranier: the Kioto will go to sea as soon as she can get a crew. "Mickey Faf does not go down to tho sea, but will tarry for a season. The public school at upper town is enjoj'ing a prosperous term. Among the new improvements a new stove occupies a prominent place There are 70 names on the roll, and the ability to so successfully handle so large a school reflects groat credit upon Miss L. L. Allen tho teacher whose services the district is fortunate in securing. There is a good second-hand piano for sale at M. Olsen's furniture store. Intending buyers would do well to call and sec it. Liver pudding and head cheese at George Ganz,s. Chelialis Items. The hardest thing3 for strangers to find out, is where the Chehalis river begins, and Gray's Harbor ends, they are so near the same size for quite a distance. Things are lively at Ihc Uoquiam mills, but there seems to be a dearth of men, so there is a chance for men hunting work, providing they are not afraid of work. The schooner Garfield brought a large quantity of goods to the store at tho Hoquiam mill. Simpson Bros, are doing a good work for the section of country adjoining their mill. A vessel, name unknown, came in to the harbor through a mistake Fri day morning. She was. bound for Shoalwater Bay, but upon discover ing his blunder, the captain concluded to load at the Hoquiam, instead of hunting for the bay. VvJetU.. From 40 to G3 per month i3 the ruling wages for loggers at Coos By. Portland is to have a new Meth odist church to cost $40,000. A 20, 000 Catholic church is to be built at Vancouver. The Madison Square Theater company plaj'ed "Esmeralda" in Portland last night. They go to San Francisco on to-day'a steamer. One of tho most remarkable ech oes we have noticed in this vicinity is observable on the other side of Lewis & Clarke's. A shot fired at the point opposite echoes and re-echoes, and then all is still for a moment when a rattle like tho discharge of musketry is heard and then a thundering rever beration away in the direction of Sad dle Mountain. A singular case was brought be fore Judge McGuire yesterday wherein Mrs. Childs asks possession of her daughter Minnie, a girl of 15 years. The child was produced in court on a writ of habeas corpus from where she was staying as servant in a family and stated her reasons for not want ing to live with her mother. The case was heard with closed doors. Judge McGuire took the case under advise ment. A. J. Smith, an old resident here, sold on Mouday last SS50 worth of beef on foot, to James Chambers, of Olympia. Mr. Smith has sold during the past year about $2,500 worth of beef, whioh is his usual annual sale, as he sells only his increase. This would seem to indicate that Chehalis county is a good stock countrv. Tho stock just sold to Chambers brought ten and a quarter cents per pound, estimated net weight. Chehalis Vi deite. Captain Pease, superintendent of the city dredger, wishes to notify captains of steamboats that when they are going down stream and see a red light on the dredger, it is a sign that she is lying outside the channel, and that they must pass with port helm. In the same position, boats coming up stream will see a green light, and will pass with starboard helm. When the lights are reversed the dredger wiil be on the inside of the channel. In a fog, three nhistles will be blown by the dredger. In windy weather, when the dredger becomes unmanage able, steamboats are probably re quested to have their life-boats ready and trust to Providence. Standard. IUX'LI.VE OF 3IA.V.

Probably no abstract subject among all the daily concrete subjects, comes , nearer to cr oftener in the mind of ; the purveyor of public information j than the one which 13 embodied in the titlo to this article. There is never a lack of topics; the question is not one of provision, but ono of se lection, and is generally answered ac cording to the tastes or bias of tho newspaper writer. Whether to elan-; 9irv ., ,.v . v-v ?- r vr.s vt ' nrAthoTopilboommrealosAMIhMNERfj GilUTHfflGj HATS, EtO or write up the resources of the coun- ; try: to language the thought of tho man with a grievance, or tike in hand tho matter of reform; to report the sermon, or the gossip of the saloon; to i chronicle the arrival of Col. Smith, or the expected departure e: Major; Jones; to tell the exact, unvarnished i and unwholesome iruth about a pri vate scandal, or to accord to it the ; charity of silence; to make trouble . between friends by officious announce ment or to ignoro the idle minora that malice suggests; lo anniEe the J timid or suppress the wicked; to mako due announcement of crime commit- I tod with all its ghastly detail and fill the columns of his paper with girbige ; and filth from every slum and fcink hole within reach of his observation, or tacitly assume that certain trees produce certain fruits and leave the subject to the imagination; to re count the doings of the latest social gathering or devote the space to infor mation concerning tho outside world; these and others of like import mako up the questions that come up for settlement every day. They constitute purely a matter of judg ment, in a business point of view, and of personal feeling socially considered. If a newspaper reporter lacks judg ment, he can't help showing it, just as any other workman; if he report tho dog-fight, and ignore tho lecturer, his lack of judgment is lamented by those who considered. the lecture a good one, and confidently expected to see a good report of it, while on the other hand should he omit tho homely details of the canine conflict, and in graceful diction revivify the lecturer's thoughts, those whoso tastes lie in an opposite direction would find the paper tame. The best thing ho can do is to have a middling tight grip on a few general principles and exemplify them: first that what his readers want are the facts; they want to know what's going on and to feel when they read an item that that's just tho way it oc curred, and that they have the cor rect version of the matter before them; second, that the average men and women, taken just as they come in the census, don t care mticu tor opinions, or' what the writer thinks; they want the points and let do their own thinking; third, that what is said must be so said that there is an element of common horse sense in it; that when they read what is said they can mentally say "that is so," as they go along; fourth, that private opinions and rights be respected, and no at tempt made to ridicule or injure any one, unless that one sets himself up to be a public censor, and even then treat him as a Christian; fifth, that a newspaper shoulders no one's responsi bilities, 'and assumes no functions of missionary work. It is simply a re flex of the community in which it is published; it tells what goes on, what men are doing, and how other men like those doings, but has no obliga tion to turn aside tho general current of human events. And to this we think every newspaper writer, if in harness, and every newspaper reader, unless a bigot, will say "amen." Furnished Rooms (o ICcnt At Mrs. Denny Curran's.
