"Tbere is consideraMe uk before the inquisitor ii body, as there is much complaint as to the viola tion of the law by the saloons of this county and this matter Is to l thoroughly investigated. The graud jury, it is understood, is maVins a full inwstifation of charges nude by Mr. R. H. Mitchell editor of the Houlton Rejnstvr, against the county officials, in con nection with the purchase of the rock crusher and also in regard to the dihonestv charged bv him against Td supervisors.

The aboxt article ppeamliu last wtt-k' issue of CTIlTSSithat feWomadal misfit yclept, the Mist, a tkky paper greauy resembling the neglected, and un'auutlned saddle-blanket of an Apache Indian, devoted to pseud ology and the disscminatiou of its editor's plentiful lack of sense and pub ished at St. Helens, bv one E. j H. Flagg, chief engineer of the Columbia county end of the Lewis and Clark Fair, at the rate of tiXtt 1-3 per month, out of the county exchequer, in preferred warrants. Does our sebaceous friend desire his readers to infer that he has carte blanche of the grand jury room, or straight tip from the secret precincts of the District Attorney's office; or that his perspicuity is so There are a great many men who are not so fo:-t . r . . 1 , , , ... i . Columbia count v s palatial court house is to him an Lewis aud Clark fair opens June 1, 1905. The dodging ability of the Russian fleet is adding largely to our geographical nomenclature. A large number of prominent citixens are now in the "also mentioned" class for president of the Equitable. The difference between the presidential hunting of Wall strest and Colorado bears is that he got the Colorado bears.

The trust question could be closed with considera ble rapidity by opening the penitentiary doors to some of the criminal trust managers. The Xew York Press wants to know how lobby ists may be kept out of the legislature. The election end of himself in the dark, open book? Or has he, out of the abnomalty of his imagination, invaded the realms of fictiou, and, like a "curvcy politician, seem to see the things he docs not sec?" It is manifest that if the article is true there is a leak in the grand jury department as wide as a church door; if untrue, then he Is a busy-body aud a meddler, without sufficient native talent to find either of the right kind of swer the question. a legislature might help to ar. , :o: The discover)' of Paul Jones' body lends color to the belief that it is yet possible for the Republican leaders to find and resurrect the reciprocity principles of James G. Blaine and William McKinlcy. The Duke of Manchester takes as personal Mr. , HATS, 9 :o :- The colored minister who was invited to pray for the New York legislature will not be invited again. He prayed that the Almighty would guide the assem bly through life and bring the members safely to 'that general assembly where Jesus. Christ is the speaker and business transacted without graft or the dictation of a lobby." So many of the members took it as a personal reflection that they were too nervous Carnegie's remarks concerning dukes and coachmen. . to do business all the rest of the day. Bat what ground is that the coachmen have not ob- Wt to beinsr mentioned in connection therewith. Many organs opposed to interfering with the :o: rapacity of the railroads and other corporations are The senator-elect from Missouri says his election worrying over what might happen if the employes of cost him, $23.70, and the senator-elect from Tennessee a government owned road should strike. Just as soon as we hear of postal clerks, department clerks, post masters and army officers striking we' 11 begin worry ing a little. Did any one ever hear of policemen or firemen going on strike? Mr. Rogers indignantly denies that Mr. Rocke feller was a member of the South Improvement com pany, and explains that it was the Southern Improve ment company that he belonged to, the two companies having the some object. This recalls the plea of the small boy. "I didn't steal no jell tarts; 'tws the gooseberry pic I stole." The Oregon State Grange will convene in session at Forest Grove next Tuesday. Skrts tit 1. F. 5K ill i m For Less MONEY Than OTHER STORES says his election cost him $11.50. There are senators whose elections cost vastly more who are worth in finitely less. Ex-Senator Thurston has been retained to defend Senator Mitchell. Doubtless Senator Mitchell will find j his attorney much more loyal to his interests than that attorney was to his constituents when he was senator from Nebraska. A Minnesota man is trying to prove that a jack rabbit is speedier than a locomotive. If the Minnesota gentleman is looking for speed let him take a glance at the rapidity with which the g. o. p. bosses get away from tariff revision immediately after election. iMEN'S SUITS $7.45 $9.75 f 12.50, i5.oo, $1800 (j andS25.oo SUIT ' 61 3 4 .rr .v , Hew Building!
