CANAAN CITIZENS BAND.

Most of our townspeople have heard that the Canaan Citizens Baud have been trying since last winter to get up an entertainment of the minstrel order. Their ears did not deceive them and they heard aright. The boys did try. tried hard and have found the thing an impossibility. Like everything else in Canaan, where some one was to be de- pended on to be at the rebearsals and do something, it failed. In the words of one of the participants Git was ever ever thus" Ask the different captains of our base ball club what success they met with in trying to get the players to- gether ask the promoters of musical organizations if their meetings were regularly attended and you will find the same trouble in them all some one absent when needed or expected. One of the first troubles of the band enter tainment was the lack of a general manager to akeecharges of the aohole concern and push it through, but the boys must not be blamed for that, as they could find no one willing to take charge of the whole affair Having no one manager all tried to be managers and as is always the way in such cases conflicting opinions arose which in a measure caused the abandoning of the show project. The members of the band all feel that they owe debt of gratitude to the outsiders who so will ingly tried to help them through with their entertainment, and all are sorry that it couldn't have gone along smoothly and ended successfully when the curtain dropped after; the last act.

NOT WITHOUT HONOR.

The Astoria ErsrTn, in trying to stir
up the lethargic Rip Van Wrinkles in the
city OF strong points and weak men, Gays:
Historians are possessed of acres and
acres Of profitless land. Better exchange
few of these acres for something they
do not possess. As was shown last week,
Aberdeen has a monthly pay roll of
$50, 200, with a population OF barely
1000 people. And Aberdeen will have
railway connection with the whole conti-
nent before the expiration of sixty avs
from this date. Can any one say that if
sam Benin had held ON to Aberdeen until
now. and had waited for Somebody to
build up all around him in bap-hazzard
manner, that such scenes would be wit
messed at Aberdeen as may be seen there
today? His is plain model for Astoria
to pattern after; h3wever, If it is deemed
better not to do SO, If we prefer to cling
to the shadows of hope for the future OF
Astoria, and prize them more than reali
ties. keep all which we now have, as it is !;
and by scoffing at the wide range of facts
presented essential to unlimited success,
go down to our graves hugging the delu-
sion that it is only a question of time
when Somebody will find Astoria out az
a place for energetic and active business,
and come here in spite Of fate to establish
numerous local industries and build a
railroad for US.

The railroad problem now being con-
sidered by the legislature at Olympia
presents three points Of interest.
Present railroad rates cuts the lumber
and every other product Of Western
Washington off from the market OF
Eastern Washington, and the grain OF
Eastern Washington is compelled to go
TWO thousand miles to the markets of St.
Paul and Minneapolis instead Of finding
its natural market on the Pacific coast
Railroad development, so the railroad
men say, would be severely retarded in
Washington by any restrictive legisla-
ton.
Thirdly, and most important of all. is
the fact that railway commissioners and
statutory provisions have never and will
never control railroads.
The only practical solution. taking
these three factors OF the problem to-
gether, is the building of railroad with
stockholders most interested in finding
the proper markets for grain and lumber.
The power Of the legislature lies in leav-
ing the matter alone.

A bill before the Legislature provides
that all cities Of over 10000 inhabitants
in the state, shall have one or more police
Isatrons, whose duty shall be to have
,the immediate charge Of all women and
girls under arrest in such cities. To re-
move the appointment Of such matrons
beyond the reach Of political tricksters, it
is provided that all appointees under the
act shall hold office until death or removal
for canse, and city councils are empowered
to fix the salaries Of the incumbents.
Justice and morality are alike concerned
in the passage Of this law. The theory
that criminals of this class are beyond
the reach of reformation, has, to some
extent, given place to the more humane
view that pleads for opportunity for them
TO return to the ways of virtue. The
police matron, if she were at once con-
siderate, judicions and humane, would,
in many instances, in the case OF the first
offence Of young girls and women, hold
the key to reformation for them.

The first number Of the Ocosta Pionee,
has been received. The PiOneey makes
an excellent showing; and will, no doubt,
do more than its share for Ocosta if
Ocosta does its share for the Pioneer.
The Pioneer is the tenth filler Of long
felt thas has come to stay in Chehalis
county. As the county has, as yet, only
ten thousand inhabitants, it would seem
TO the newspaper man that the field is
pretty thoroughly cultivated. However,
Oakville is spoken Of as the Eldorado for
number eleven. Perhaps, who knows,
Chehalis county may be the chosen Of
Providence as the Utopia where there
will be country newspaper that will
give perfect satisfaction to some one, on
account OF there being a paper for every
inhabitant.

Supper Surprise.

In the houses of the Knights OF
Pythias there was much wonder last week
in the masculine breast over the mysteri-
GUS cooking that seemed to be going on
under his very nose, and tainted him with
savory smells. He learned nothing,
however, until last Wednesday evening.
when the lodge Of K. P. was stormed and
captured by fair army, armed with the
good things of the table. The Knights
surrendered at discretion, and proved
their valor at table in right knightly
fashion.

Chehalis county will remember that it
was put to an entirely unnecessary ex-
pense by representing attorney Moody
bringing suit in the name Of the State
against certain citizens Of Aberdeen upon
the information of one John Wing, a
Chinaman. Representing attorney
Moody knew this would be an unneces-
sary tax upon the county at the time, or,
if he did not, could have discovered the
fact by the slightest honest investigation
on his part.

Up the wishkah and Beyond.

One OF the few things ever said against
the Grays harbor country is that there is
not enough agricultural land tributary.
A trip up the Wishkah will disabuse
one of that idea. It's banks are
being rapidly lined with settlers, who are
clearing off small farms and getting
ready to supply what we have needed, am
pie market gardens. January is scarcely
the month when garden truck would be
looked for, but it was no uncommon sight
to see cabbages and turnips green and
aourishing. Everywhere the signs were
of an approaching spring where there had
been no winter.
At Fairfields, just above The Forks,
preparations are being made for numer-
Gus small farms. The splendid ranch
owned by the Warhorse of the Wishkah
has been divided off into five, ten and
twenty acre tracts, and is being sold of
to farmers.
From Fairfelds our little party of three
struck off up the county road until, COM
ing to the branching off place for Black
wells, we turned in to carry the mail into
camp. Blackwell has model logging
camp in clearing he has made on both
sides Of small stream. The camp looks
more like welI-begun, clean little town
with its dozen Of neat buildings built Of
shakes. 1t has system Of water works
that would be the envy Of Aberdeen's one
man-wheel-barrow-barrel water system,
bringing water right by the door. The
bunk house is, perhaps, the browning
glory of the camp. 1t is lighted from the
roof and every man has his window at
the side OF his bunk.
A visit to the scene Of action presented
different sight from that usually wit
messed. There were no oxen and NO
artistic profanity. A donkey engine, an
engineer, man tending spool and q
three-quarter inch wire cable took their
place. When log was ready to be
hauled to the water, the dogs were driven
in, the wire cable given the proper lead,
hooked on, and the chugger, chugger,
chugger of the putting engine took the
place Of the man with the goad and
felicltious vocabulary.
We left the loggers, and followed the
county road" along the east branch OF
the Wishkah. In some places the "road''
was small tree thrown across a deep
canyon. In all places it passed through as
fine timber as ever stood out of doors, and
often one would 'have to look twice"
to see the first limb of many of the noble
frs. A claim is claim worth having
almost anywhere up the Wishkah; and
the experience in the woods is one very
body who wishes to have an accurate
knowledge Of one of our principal re-
sources should take.
