A steam schooner of about five hun
dred tons burden which has been
built by the Columbia river lumber
and manufacturing company, was
launched at Shomokow on the 2Sth
ult. The point is about thirty-two
miles from the mouth of the Columbia
river. The cOmpany's mill cuts co.
O0O feet of lumber day and recently
purchased two ships of l,I39 and 1913
tons register. G. L. Colwell, the man
ager, is an old lumber man, who last
year invested in this company.
The Whatcom correspondent of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer says: County
Commissioner c. F. Keesling recently
refused gold coin offer of ten thou
sand dollars for his ten-acre tract ad-
joining the city limits on the north.
Less than eight acres of the tract is
cleared, but the plat, by reason of its
location and the excellent manner in
which it has been cultivated in shrub
berry and small fruits, has always been
coveted by visitors to the bay, hence
the offer of $40, 900 has elected no par
ticular excitement in real estate cir
cles.
The Waitsburg board of trade has
made arrangements, says the Times,
to properly receive all immigrants
stopping off at that place. A large
building has been rented and will be
fixed up for the temporary comfort of
new corners. A committee has also
been appointed to be at the depot on
the arrival of all trains, to welcome
those in search of homes and tender
them the free use of such building
until they can look about little. This
is wise move on the part of Waits
burg and shows that she is fully alive
to her present interest.
The practical acquittal OF murderers
Miller and Frederick in Seattle has
borne its legitimate fruits in a great
increase of murder and robbery in that
city, and the citizens of the Queen
City are now discussing the propriety
of hanging the murderers in Jail there
as warning to Others. Whenever the
vicious element learn that there is no
penalty attached to crime, property
and life are unsafe. Within the past
week two men have been butchered
in Seattle for money. A man invited
his friend out to buy a lot in lonely
spot and then cut his throat for the
money he possessed. he...-.i.
Winlock Pilot: The Cowlitz river is

From Toledo up the settlers on thou
sands of acres of fertile land virtually
have no transportations facilities !:
they inhabit country capable of
producing in abundance, but for lack
of market their very surplus is al
most detriment. The upper Cowlitz
never had dollar spent on it, while it
is II larger and better stream than
either the NOoksack, SnOhomish or
Stillaguamish, and the dwellers on its
shores have greater obstacles to con-
tend with in marketing their products.

IT will pay to warm all slop or other
soft food given to cattle or hogs. The
warm water not only stimulates and
invigorates, but provides warmth foi
the body. Shelter and warm drinks
on very cold days will save more feed
than will pay for the labor incurred
while the health of the stock will be
promoted.

IT would be better to kill a few of
the young pigs at birth than to COM
pei the SOW to suckls too many, as
lack of milk and cold will cause the
weaker ones to die. Large litters are
at no time desirable, and especially in
winter.

JoCHIN Henry Zimmerman paid the

JocHIN Henry Zimmerman paid the
extreme penalty of the law for the
murder of William Sterling, about a
year ago, in Kllckitat county, at Col
dendale on the 9th of this month. He
was stolid and Indifferent to the last
moment, and mounted the gallows, to
all appearance, undaunted. He even
refused to listen to counsel of the cler-
gy, and said he preferred to die as he
had lived. His general demeanor
caused nearly all who were inclined to
sympathize with him to lose interest,
even in his spiritual welfare. ,-4n

OF the progenitors of tho Presidents,
Frank Carpenter says: "Grover
Cleveland is the only clergyman's son
who has ever been elected President,
though Arthur's father was IL clergy
man. He was not, however, elected
President. The fathers of the Vir-
ginia Observation-Disclosures, Jeffer-
son, Madison and Monroe-were
planters. John Tyler's father was a
lawyer and y statesman, and John
Adams, the father of John Quincy
Adams, was by profession lawyer.
Grants father was tanner, Hayes
father a merchant, and the fathers OF
Garfield, Lincoln, Pierce, Fillmore,
Polk, Van Buren and Jackson were
farmers" The chances for the Pres
idency in the past have thus been
with the farmers boys, and out of the
eighteen Presidents elected by the
people only one has been a parsons
son.

PATRONIZE HOME.-Watch one hun
dred people pick up newspaper and
you will see ninety-nine look first at
the local column. The life of q news.
paper published in a small place is its
local column. On that depends its
popularity and circulation. So, in
like manner, the life Of a community
depends ON its local trade and indus
tries. These are the elements that make
good town and give employment
to its mechanics and workmen, and
business to the business men. Or if
you choose, a community is luilt, re-
tained, and held together by its own
people patronizing one another. The
merchant, the mechanic, the farmer
and the workmen are all depen, lent on
the other for support. The citizen
who employs mechanics from oihe,
places damages his own town and
helps the other to that extent. And
the citizen who buys his goods in other
markets than his own sends m i3ey
away from hoMe to help hniid up 9th
er places,
