LEwIsvILLE, w. T.-The location in times
gone by known as Halls Bridge. Clarke Co..
now bears the above title. Within year
a substantial three story Touring mill has
been erected, and several small houses put
up. Mr.. l. W. Rowland is now building
another house, TO which he will remove his
family from his ranch down the river. Mr.
Rowland's wife has been quite sick for
many weeks, but is now on the gain. The
machinery for the mill will be on hand in
August and will be put in so as to turn out
-four this fall. The power will be furnished
by a Leifel turbine wheel The race is now
being constructed, which will bring the
water to the mill. In year or two there
will be thriving little village at this point,
which with mill. store, blacksmith shop
and post-ofiice, will furnish settlers with
conveniences they have to 30 some distance
for now. The grade on the south side OF
Lewis river approaching Halls bridge, which
was so bad last year that an emigrant team
rolled down from it to the bottom, has been
much improved this year. and is now per-
fectly safe for all kinds Of vehicles. The
bridge is il need Of repairs, and unless the
county commissioners attend to it this fall
it is liable to fall into the river before
spring. An expenditure Of lees than hun
dred dollars would save the structure from
ruin, and A. it is the only bridge across
Lewis river at the present time much incon
venience would arise from its destruction.

JUST So.-Complaint is made by cores.
pondent of an Eastern paper that the girls
OF that neighborhood are entirely too fond
of replying, II would rather be excused, ,,
when asked by young gentlemen the privil-
ege of escorting them home from church at
night. The practice may be hard on the
"b0ys," but it is one which every self re-
specting girl will adopt and adhere to. For
young lady to be asked on coming out of
church, accompanied probably by parents or
friends, to surrender herself to the society
OF some young hoodlum who has been wait.
ing outside while she was decorously at
tending divine worship, is an Insult which
would justify a kick from father or big
brother. The young man who really nd.
mires and respects girl will not seek her
society in this sneaking, unmanly, vaga-
bondish way. He will call upon her at
home and take pains to ascertain whether
his society is agreeable to her parents as
well as her. The girls have got the correct
idea. The grand bounce is the right pun
ishment for anyone who hangs around the
outside of a church like a thief prowling
about the house that he wishes to rob.

| STEAM FIRE ENGINE.--The public meet
ing of last Friday evening developed the
fact that there is opposition to the purchase
of steam fire engine by the city at the
present time. When the subject comes to
be considered in all its bearings there ought
to be opposition to it, and will be, most de.
cidedly; not because steam fire engine is
not a good thing to have, or may not be
very necessary or useful at times, but prin-
cipally because the city is not financially
able at this time to buy one. This should
be the only ground Of opposition, and is the
only one we have heard mentioned. The
city of Vancouver will be barely out of
debt when all of this years taxes are paid
in, and will be left with only about half the
funds necessary to run ordinary expenses
until next years tax is due and payable
To purchase an engine would run the city
farther in debt than the law allows it to 60
We have no place to put steam fire engine,
and by the time such place could be pre-.
pared the total expenditures on account of
it would run well up to $4,000, burden
which this city is not prepared to carry in
addition to the load the building of the new
court house, school house and county
bridges puts upon us. The burden is now
sufficient to bring our taxes in the city up
to 30 mills and that will cause kicking
enough, without piling on another mill.
Again, city that is so poor AID oppressed
that it cannot build a foot of sidewalk,
crossing. or improve its principal street, is
certainly far too poverty stricken to attempt
such piece of extravaganza as purchasing
q steam fire engine, which, if we had it,
would be turned bottom side up on the
first attempt to run it off from Main street
upon cross street.
We give expression to the feeling of op-
position prevailing with all due Difference to
the fire department. the members of which
are so anxious to have steamer. Our de-
partment is in. excellent shape, does its
work well, is proficient in drill, aud prompt
at all times. The department no doubt de.
serves such a machine. but there is also no
uo"oe ~ Wouio HuauCiuity bc u very lH1u-
dicious move on the part OF the city to make
the purchase at this time. Let the COM
mittee investigate the subject in all its
bearings, and the members will readily see
that the city cannot at this time burden
itself by such purchase.
The following from the East Portland
Vmdicator will give little information OH
the cost OF steam fire engines:
Some time ago committee was appointed
to ascertain what it would cost to maintain
steam lire engine in this city. 1t was
found that about 81 200 would be the snm
the city would have to borrow, and that
the regular annual expenses to be met in.
Guiding interest, hire os an snsiaser and
at the lowest estimate. Surprising the pnr'
chase of a steam fire engine was made. The
city would be owing Sll 200 and paying ont
that sum every four years in expenses,
which would be always increasing.

FIRE DEPT. DRILL.-The Engine Co. IS
and Hook & Ladder Co. were out for drill
on Wednesday evening of last week. The
Chief Engineer handles the Dept in good
shape. The engines threw streams on diff
ferent buildings, and the Hook & Ladder
having ladders in position at the same time
The recent fire at Colfax proves the neces-
slty of an efficient fire department. II.
Mockel, the brewer, gave IS boys treat in
the shape of key OF beer, which was duly
Appreciated.

He WAS KIND.-They got the new min
lister out at Sunday school picnic near
Portland the other day. He had never
been at one before, and when he saw a
crowd of boys approaching he remarked
that the little ones probably wanted him
to sit down and tell them stories about
David, and Moses, and Rebecca. 1t seemed
however, that he was in error. What they
wanted was to know whether with the ace
and queen out, it was good policy to save
your jack or hold it and play for game.

deem it best to answer the prayers of the
nation. Prayer is as uncertain as science.
Our prayers will be answered only when
God wills, and we can know Gods will
only by the final event. The scientist
may experiment and the christian pray;
but both may fail, as in this instance.
Each ought to view the other in charity,
both fulfilling their duty and accepting
the result without Boosting or dispalr.
Third, The death of Garfield did not
change character of forty years growth
Pulpit and press knew of his loving wife,
grand old mother, and his own pure life
and answering integrity, as we'll before
his assassination as afterward. Had that
character been defended during the fierce
presidential campaign with one half the
zeal with which it was praised when
Garfield needed no defender, he would
not have gone to his grave with the
fearful sting of the vituperative attacks
upon his reputation and uprightness
Americans must learn to defend the
characters and regulations of her great
men while they need such defense and
can enjoy the keen pleasure of being
| understood and upheld.
Fourth, Guiteau was not an outgrowth
of any creed, platform or professions; GER
tainly not Of civil service, for, of all
organizations, it alone refused absolutely
to recognize or use him. He was an ex.
cresence for which no one is accountable,
particularly no church or party. 1t is q
burning libel to say that he is the fruit
of Republican ideas. Suchremarks glad.
den the hearts of despots and disgrace
us in the eyes of the world.
