Let us try and have that before night A project is under way, and worthy of substantial aid, to construct and equip a narrow guago railroad from Hwaco to Shoalwater bay.

The special deposit act of Septem ber 15th, 1883, provides a method by which actual settlers in an unsur veyed township can have it surveyed in a short time at little cost to them selves. The cost of surveying a town ship is from $340 to $360, and this money is returned to settlers deposit ing it in the shape of certificates which can be used in paying for lands. It is to be said, however, that the cost of surveying a township in Clatsop or Columbia counties is far in excess of $340 or $360, and is nearer twice that figure than the first one named. "Did you ever stop to think what a -tireless writer a local paper is? Week after week, reaching into year after year, It goes on telling themarriages, births, deaths, the doings of the peo ple about town, the business success or failures, accidents, crops, improve ments, meetings, revivals in fact, events of all kinds. All is grist that comes to the hopper of a good (local paper, if you were to nndertake to write a letter each week to a friend and tell him of half the news your paper gives, you would soon give up in despair. The supposed pleasure becomes tiresome, the letters become shorter, further apart and finally quit. Why the difference? Because with the newspaper men it's business. People in a lively town recognize this and take pleasure in giving the editor news items you would never learn." The tast and Best.

Here' Richness For Yon. The promoters of the Port Town send Southern railroad claim, so says a Puget sound exchange, that the road has long passed out of the ranks of speculative or possible roads into tho list of those certain to be imme diately built A surveying party is in the field now. A survey was made some years ago on a route well known to lumbermen. Coming north it turns slightly to the west at Jackson's cove, then skirts round the foot of Walker mountain, and thence north through Burnt valley to within a few miles of Port Discovery, when it turns northeast to Port Townsend. The height of land some seven miles from Port Townsend is just 200 feet above tide-water. This is the highest point along the whole road from the Co lumbia river opposite Portland to Port Townsend. The route, too, is a very short one, has but few curves and scarcely "a grade. Another fact not generally understood, but which may easily be verified, is that Port Townsend is almost duo north of Portland, and as the lino is practic ally straight it would afford Portland a much better outlet 4o the ocean than she now has by way of Astoria, i In Brief, and to The Point.

But Green's August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy. Eemember:-No happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents. The Cashier Remained Calm.
