Mrs. Duniway was burned in effigy at
Jacksonville recently, in consequence Of pub
fishing an alleged slanderous letter in the
New Northwest concerning several of the cit
liens of that place.
f. w: Ryan, Esq, has just returned to
Portland from a prospecting tour up the
Lewis river country. He reports satisfac-
tory trip, and will probably return in few
days, spending the summer in gold mining
When our small fruit ralsers can supply
their customers with a later variety of straw
berries, they will find their business largely
increased. The general complaint is that
the strawberry season is too short here to
serve the purposes of the people.
There was one young man who attended
the picnic Saturday who had imbibed suffic-
lent of some variety of tangefoot to get a
fall, and he arose with enough real estate on
his person to be subject to assessment and
taxation. Wen never tell who it was.

Saturday, as anticipated, was the
grand affair of the season. The Lur-
line arrived at Vancouver about noon,
towing two barges, and the crowd

vast table spread, every available spot
of shade being taken up for luncheon.

and games, and at 6 o'clock they re-
turned to Portland, well pleased at
having pleasant day in Vancouver.

'aNeoVNLn, w. ouAy 1917
The low land along the North fork of
Lewis river in the vicinity of the Gardner
neighborhood is wider than it is either above
or below on this side of the river. On this,
little or no large timber is found. The
dense green forest seems to press close to
the verge of the bluffs, but along the slope
little else than logs and stumps are left.
The timber has been swept away by repeated
ravages of fire. On my way to Cedar creek
! noticed some very desirable claims along
the way. D. w. Gardner is pleasantly To-
Gated on the bank of the river, and owns
quite an extensive tract of land. D. Wells
Gardner is just opening up his claim; has
built fine residence, and is laying the basis
of a comfortable home. Then comes that of
VIM. Miller, a good farm with considerable
improvements. The next is owned by Mr.
Peterson, which is pleasant place, and
bears unmistakable evidence of industry and
perseverance Here the bluffs again ap-
proach the river, and turning aside from the
road followed trail which leads along the
side of the bluffs about three miles to its in
tersection with the road from La Center to
Cedar creek. This is quite winding and
rugged. but this is partially compensated
for by numerous little crystal streams that
cross the pathway, and the extensive and
picturesque scenery OF the surrounding coun-
try. Upon the crest of the hill right above
you the huge fir trees are creaking in the
wind, while away below you gaze upon the
sparkling surface of the river and hear the
gentle music of its pure and rapid current.
Pleasant homes may be seen scattered along
the slope on the opposite side. The river
may be traced for miles up its course till the
mountains seem to lock together and hide it
from view. A deep ravine filed with green
fir and cedar extends away up until it con-
meets with the seemingly interminable forest
on the hills to the northeast. This marks
the course of Cedar creek, at the mouth of
which stands the saw mill, and near by the
dwelling house of II. c. Reid
To the mouth of Cedar creek the Lewis
river steamers have made several trips, and
the fact Of the river being found navigable
this far opens up q freight prospect to this
section Of country. Within few miles of
here and on the opposite side of the river,
quartz ledge has been found which promises
soon to become the scene OF quite extensive
mining operations On the trail you also

SMALL FRUITS Berries have been in
great demand in Vancouver this season, and
although the usual amount was raised and
picked by our growers they did not half
fill the demand, which has largely increased
for two years. With the present demand it
would be profitable for our gardeners to enter
more largely into the culture of the small
fruits.

old horses in the street unhitched while he
stepped to Haydens door, but on returning
to the street was in time to see them off on

does launch them out that way, right

body to buy in New Orleans or else
where as long as he is engaged in the

entertainment will be given at Poplar
Grove Hall, in West Baton Rongc, under
the auspices Of the ladies of the Episco-

of raising funds to aid in the erection of

having been made with this Wow. The
elegant ladies from across the river
see that rcfeshments are supplied at the
most moderate prices, thereby enabling
our young gallants to do the honors in
princcly style and at small cost. The
admission fee is only twenty-five cents.
We further learn that transportation will
be provided for all the Baton Rougeans
who are going over to visit our friends
across the river. We hope to see, and
there will doubtless be large crowd of
excursionists from this city, who will
avail themselves of this fine opportunity
to enjoy a most pleasurable evenings

formed, have volunteered to accompany
