THE VALUE OF COTTONWOOD.
Not Appreciated Until the Trees Are
Near1v All

Not Appreciated Until the Trees Are
Nearly All Gone.
Cottonwood as a marketable timber
was looked upon for many years by the
people living in the lower basin Of the
Columbia as something utterly valueless,
says the Cathlamet Gazette, the great OBJ
jet then being to clear it from the land as
fast as possible. Time has changed this
state of affairs, and now a good body of cot
tonwood is very valuable. Like good
many other things, its value was not appre-
ciated until it was nearly all gone.
On the Cowlitz River, where probably the
largest area of cottonwood was found in
single body, has been Systematically logged
1or several years, the product being used
Tor stavebOlts, barrel-heads, etc. Good
stayebolts are worth from 81 to 81 80 per
cord.
The manufacturers of excelsior at Oregon
City use great deal of the timber in their
business. The fiber is softer and its tensile
power greater than any other similar ar
ticle that can be procured for that purpose.
Island got out over 200 cords of cottonwood
Tor foung's River Pulp Works. The price
PAID was 81 90 per cord, delivered on the
bank.
. Cottonwood is found growing all the way
from the Cascades TO Puget Island, abreast
I Of Cathlamet on the bottom and tide lands
OF the" Coiumbia. The islands lying between
Puget and the ocean are almost entirely
destitute OF this variety of timber Why
the line of demarkation is drawn so closely
we cannot state, but it may reasonably be
unity OF the tide water is not the natural
habitat of the nlant

"D0 you see that man just going toward
the elevator entrance-the one with that
buxom-looking woman on his arm?" asked
Clerk Cunningham at the Palmer House
yesterday. pointing out man apparently
about 90 years old, who was the picture of
health. and the good-lOoking woman OF IS.
who was affecrionately clinging to his arm.
Didn't they look happy ?" continued the
clerk, after the man and woman had passed
from view. And they are happy, too. Do

all about it. He is Charles A. Miller of
Anaheim. Cal. He and his wife have
been here two days, and the first
time l saw him knew he was tickled to
death about something, aud which he was
just aching to tell. So this morning when
he came down from breakfast to smoke his
cigar in the foyer told him wished l could
appear as happy as he did all the time.
That started him. He leaned on the desk
and opened his heart His wife's maiden

A bachelor of 5S who had made his fortune
in the gold mines you would think would be
too tough to make any impression upon, but
it wasn't so. He said he felt like school
boy, only more SO.
Miss Leland was not averse to her
elderly lover, but her folks had always been
SO ANXIOUS to keep her at home that every
young man who had shown any disposition
TO care for her was given to understand that
his presence was not wanted. This was the
case with Miller. The old folks Immediately
forbade him the house
"a lice was determined to have the man
she loved, however, and as her younger
sister favored the match, clandestine meet

ment was fixed. November Goth was the
date, and the wintry lover got a team and

WHOSE FEES ARE THEYs

A Test Case to Decide County Clerk
Davies Legal Dues.
The City and County of San Francisco
has consented to an agreed case with
County Clerk William A. Davies to de-
:ermine his rights to retain certain sums Of
money, amounting to about $780,. received
by him for comparing transcripts on ap-
peal filed in his Office. The money was paid
in in small sums and disbursed by Davies to
the persons who had done the work. When
the transcripts were found correct, Davies
would issue q certificate to that effect and
charge 81 for it, which money he paid to
the Treasurer. Davies in his answer states
that lie did not employ sufficient clerks, be-
cause otherwise he could not have Kept the
office expenses within his pledged limit of
$1,000. Therefore he had to employ extra
assistance, for which he made charge as
the work was performed after office hours.
In all Davies states that he received about
$1,000 for comparing such court records.
