The bill prohibiting Insurance com panics from contributing to campaign funds, is likely to become a law, but the policy holder who Imagines that It will also clin the uraftero' wings has another guesa coming to him. The liquor law prosecutions of Rainier will cost this county $2,000. The town of Rainier gets $2,000 per year license. Who pays the license? Columbia County does. . The question has been put to H. West candidate for commissioner as to whether he favors the appoint ment of a road master. He lias not answered. The Register stands ready to publish his statement. We understand H. West candi date for county commissioner has expressed himself in favor of plac ing a bonded indebtedness on the county to build highways. How is this ? Please answer Harry. of County and the State of Mr. Rockefeller Inadvertently ommltted a cipher or two from his contribution for II i benefit of the earthquake sufferer. American have won the swimming record la Olympiam games at Athens, aud Judge Parker ha something cheerful to think of for a chinge. The first republican Parliament will open at St. Petersburg !n Mar. Cxar Nicholas will do the opening stunt, and then retire gracefully to a bock eat. It Would be a great Joke If Engineer Stevens would have the canal com plelcd before Con grew decides whether it ought to be on the level or below the level. New Jersey haa started her annual campaign against the morquito, but it la not wasting much sympathy on the msn who monkeys with N. J. corpo rations aud gets stung. Condition runst certainly be lin proving in San Francisco, and Naples since the newspapers are devoting valuable space to the fact that Dowle has had his whUkers trimmed. W00DLAXD. (From the Woodlaud Ncwp.) II. F. Carstens, of Ktna, was in town Monday transacting business. Uur jail Is a dry goods box ana no prisoners. A-cremt to the city. D. G. Wallace is going to have his house painted. Let more do likewise. Woodland pays as it goes and City Treasurer Blue says the treasury is not empty. Tom Chatterson was busy Monday installing more new furniture lu the Hotel Strong. The ferry Is a good thing and offer a cheap and handy mean in going to and from I.aCeuter. Bring your furniture and have Tom Chatterson repair and varnish it ovir so It will look as good ns new. While the Columbia is raising slowly, th stage of water at' Woodland en aides the Mascot to make schedule time. ' N. P. Agent Hopf says he can ticket anyone who calls on him to any part ox mo universe, lie also baa some snaps in real estate. Sever! hoise buyers from Vancouver were in Woodland- Monday in quest of heavy draft horses, but the farmers put up tho price and not many were pur chased. There is no doubt but what (lie ques tion of a new court house location will bob up again and from what we can learn Castle Rock or Kelso w ill try and capture it. Mr. J. S.Tooley, well and favorably known in Woodland, is, we regret to learn, a patient at the Portland Sama ritan Hospital, her ailment being stomach troubles. An Industry that' Is greatlj needed in Woodland, and especially when we get more canneries, is a box factory. ' The raw material is almost at our very door and would be a paying Institution. Woodland's sidewalas are a trifle high In places and these should have a railing to prevent accidents or a damage suit. Then let the committee on streets do a little grading ou our public thoroughfare aud Woodland will bo an up-to-date town. borne very nne nnuming lumber is being received by tho canning com pany, lnteuded for the new building. This lumber is sent to Portland in the rough stage and is reshipped back at $2 per thousand. Bee why Woodland should have a planing mill? Mrs. Mary E. Tooley on lust Monday took possession of the Woodland Hotel and is now ready to serve the geueral public, Mr. Swartx having moved his family in the rear of h's meat market building. Mrs. Tooley will strive and make all ieel at home who call at her new home. WHAT WE WAST. What is in the way of Woodland becoming a manufacturing community when such a fine stream of water goes to waste right at our door. Have you ever sized up the town as concerns her room in which to grow and spread out in? What is there that prevents her having several saw mills and plauers, uioro canneries, a sugar beet factory etc? The raw material is here or can be produced on short notice. Our soil and climate raises the finest sugar boets in the world. The native timber reaches out and extends for miles above Woodland, every stick of which can 46 floated down to the saw mills here. Our close proximity to Portland solves transportation facilities and our advantages are far ahead of thoso now to be obtained in a large city. Men of capital prefer to invest it where strikes are not o iur to occur and wher wa tcr, light, power, etc., are to U had We only need to get a move on our elve and work for and reach out for that which otorehas intended us to posse. Let such folly as Woodland people ging away to seek work end now and fur all time. Put them to work on Woodland factories and good and -you solve the future of the town for all time. IMPKOVKMKXTIX POSTOr It fc. Postmaster Fields made quite a change for the better the tore part of iheweek in the interior of the post office whereby patrona of the office were considered. The letter boxes have been moved so that they face the lobby, running clear serosa the room. In this ipacv a detk ha been placed for the use of all aud a deck 1 also in front of the money order depart ment. Woodland baa an accommo dating postmaster io the person of Mr. Heidi and himself and mother deserve the thanks of the public for the many favors accorded the community. ftTBATTON, THE DKIOOIST. One can hardly realise the chsne made in a person in the short rpace of ten years. To verify this we cite the case of Mr. Stratton, our a ell known druggist, who then was a boy on a farm, poor but honest, and who, by perseverence, learned, saved and watched hta opportunity and then es tablished himself four years ago in his present location on the rivfci front. Now he haa a neat and complete a drug store as can be found. Read Mr. Stratum's ad found elsewhere. Hl'TClllNC CO. Ira Hutchings, the irrepressible rust le' for business, of the firm of Hutch ings & Co., was a Portland buyer Mun day. To size up this immense store at a glance you will be eur prieed at the stocks carried in ail lines. His firm is accommodating and always strives to merit a share of the public patronage. Just watcli this space in the News. He always has bargain for the public snd will let them bo known through thete columns. Ol'R CITY TREASl'KEn, Woodland is fortunate in getting uch a careful business man as Mr. Blue is known to be to become the cus todian of the city's funds. Of course we all know that he can only pay out cosh on orders made out and presented for payment, but It is a satisfaction to know that Mr. Blue brings his business principles into use in city affairs. Being the proprietor of one of our stores and thus interested in the material welfare of our town, he is, to say the least, the right man in the right place. He is also a newspaper man and therefore knows the value of printer's ;nk, and hence has a large half column ad. Read his bargains or what he bat to say in this li-sue of the News. Om TKADE FAR REACHING. Woodland is the trading center for a large scope of country and this is the secret of why her merchants dispose of such large stocks of goods. Our trade extends for 40 miles up the Lewis River ts tar as the Peterson camps, and this river is a veritable bee Live of in dustry. Away back up or beyond on both sides of this stream is a forest of fir that make the finest luinler. This can be flouted down to Woodland iu the shape of huge logs and sawed up into useful commodities. For this reason we urge that our citizens try and induce men of capital to come and start op mills and get our people to work. COUXTY COURT. Bills Allowed at May Term.
