Join.son the man who was the principal promoter of the "Tilla mook Park Additiou” swindle, killed himself in Portland the 18th of last April. P. McIntosh, who knew the man well, ' was in Portland at the time. Johnson tended bar at the Perkins hotel last winter but became involved in some af fair with a woman and to end matters ' blew his brains out with a pistol, lie was a tough character, and had been in-; to several conlidence schemes in his brief career. Mr. McIntosh, thecreameiy man here knew Johnson first in Ontario several years ago. Johnson was a cheese mak- er. Mr. McIntosh met him again in 1889 in Oreg«»n, and the now deceased fakir worked for awhile in McIntosh’s cheese factory al Freeport Wash. j Johnson was born in the state of New York, of highly respected parents, bu^ associated with bad company after he | ! left home. He was mixed up with sev eral opium deals. Several others were associated will» him in the "Park Addi tion" scheme, hut the exact wherea bouts of the other guilty parties are not known Mr. McIntosh is sure how ever, that he saw the body of Johnson in the morgue at Pollland last April. A man named Geo. R. Kingsley filed the original plat of Tillamook Park Ad- I dition in the county clerk’s oilice, and afterward deeded the lots to Johnson There is no question but Johnson and Kingsley were pals, and it may he some j of the gang are still in Portland. Big Bonus BusiaieHS. The county pays a big bonus on its warrants. A man who built a bridge recently for the county says that he contracted his warrant« in advance at 85 cents on the dollar, and this is more than bridge warrants have been bringing This contractor, of course, ba«e«l his bi«l to build the bridge on the value of the warrants. He couldn’t <lo other- wise. Here the county pays 15ceiifs on tlm dollar, or 17zLa per cent for the line <jf money. The warrants draw 8 per cent, which make« 25b» per rent the county pays the first year : In four years this anmiints to as much as the principal. This is injt the worst of it. Often times orders have sold as low as 60 cents on the dollar Thank goodness, though, this worst condition is almnt over. Order« now sell at 87.‘A l<‘ 90 cents, and Indore tax paying they will be much higher. The debt is drrreasiug, many warrants are held by outsiders who think 8 per cent interest a good investment, and order« will never he as low again as they are now. They will soon remriii at 95 to 99 ami will dr? w only 4 per cent interest, if pro|»ei tinanciering is d«»ne The next legislature slioiil«! fix it so counties could change theii imlebte«lness on out standing warrants to bomled indebted- a liess. Tlii« w'ould give the county < chance _ to its l work «lone i at cash 1 _ get ‘ “ prices and save k great deal oil i interest. About Lumber.

Benj. is (or was) Dan Bowers’ off ox, mid he had another cog. which wits Har rison. lie was named after the ex- president. Benj. went away early in the morn ing, apparently in good spirits, and his folks suspected nothing him. wrong with Ilis finances were in good shape, his health was good, and his family re lations had never been questioned. The theory of suicide has been advanced, but the character and habits of the deceased don’t warrant it. There were no outward signs of vio lence on the body, excepting a few long marks, and the theory that he was get Sound with timber for the mines at Port Pirie, Australia, and «o frequent are these shipments they make hut little stir. With the view of ascertaining some facts on this demand the West Coast Lumberman recently addressed a letter to The Broken Hill Proprietary Company at Port Pirie; This was kindly answered by Mr. F. M. Dickeson, sec retary of the company at Melbourne. From this letter is gathered the follow points of interest. The annual consumption of lumber in the mines of this company reaches the enormous amount of 15,000,000 feet. The first fir lumber sent from this coast was in 1889. Mr. Dickeson says that it has not been in use long enough to ena ble an opinion to be formed on its dura bility; it therefore shows no age defects in the six years test it has been put to As fast as the limber becomes unneces sary in a mine it is removed and used elsewhere. The largest single order ever placed for fir was for 10,030,000 feel—this order, we believe, was placed in 1893 with the Puget Mill Company at Port Gamble, Washington. Mr. Diclyeson labors under the error that nearly all the timber they use in from Oregon, when in fact it all comes from Washington This error occurs from the ancient name of Oregon Pine used hy the foreign mill shippers in cor respondence and hilling One essential point in mining limber is strength. In thia respect Hr stands al the head. The Comstock Mine, of Nevada, uses large quantities of yellow pine and has found in many cases that this woo« I has been greatly Coin pressed hy the immense weights puton it. Some one estimates that the ('«»instock has |.55,000,0<>0 invested in timber in its mines. The Australian mines lake a wide range in timbers running up to sticks so large they could only he cut on the Pa cific coast. The St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company, of T hcoiiih , is now loading some 18x18 and 20x20—80 feet for Port l'irie, which is nothing unusual in cargoes for that point. [The Lumberman ought t« > claim lbat »ill the timber in life worhl grows in Washington. It is safe to say the edi tor of that paper never saw tlm forests 'off hegou, and knows little «»f th is st ate. Some of the newspapers of Washington are trying very haul to change the name of "Oregon Pine” to "Washing ton Fir,” but their efforts will he like their attempt to change "Mt. Ranier” to "Mt. Tacoma.”] goaded to self destruction will not hold . The autopsy revealed the fact Gat Ida livei was in a rather healthy con dition. Ilis stomach was full, indicat ing he had partake»! of a bountiful re past recently prior to his sudden demise. There was a slight contusion near his left breast which might have been caus ed by a varicose vein, and there were n few small terbulocii in his kidney, No microbes or bacc.il i were found, His epigastric glands were caked, and the serum in his gall cyst whs slightly coag ulated. Ilis hide whs distended with oxygen Hiid there was a slight swelling near his vest pocket. The verdict of the loggers jury was that he was dead The linger of suspicion points strong ly towards Frank Linville. Frank ex pects to prove an alias, hut gives con flicting stories regarding his wherea bouts on the afternoon of the murder Frank says he was present at roll call, but the other loggers can't remember see ng him, and it is possible some one answeied for him When arrested Frank had a strange looking purse, and some rings which probably came from Benj’s. horns. A logger saw Frank enter the wools on the fateful evening with the ox, and took particular notice of the circumstance because he thought it was some fellow with his wife.
