COLUMBIA COUNTY FILLING up.
Receat County Seat Election Shows Large
Increase of Voters.

increase OF NOGefSs
The returns from the late special
election indicates that the voting pop
ulation of Columbia county has in
creased several hundred since the gem
eral state election held a little over a
year ago. While it is true that much
of this increased vote is due to the
employment of an increased number
of hands in sawmil1s and logging
camps. many of them single men, it
also IS evident that there is a cousid-
cradle increase in the number of fam
lilies which have become actual res
idents.
County School Superintendent Cope
land has received complete returns
from almost every school district in
the county, and now estimates that
there are $50 more children of school
age than we're shown by the census of
last year. Reports from every sec
tion of the county indicate that new
eomers from the East are arriving,
and the majority of them expect to
become permanent residents.

Heavy Sales Of Live Stock.

The sale of sheep, cattle and horses
from the Oregon ranges this fall will
be the heaviest in years. This is the
opinion of C. ]. Mills, who has charge
of the stock department Of the o. r.
& NJ He has been over large por-
tion of the ranges and reports that
feed will be scarce this fall. Large
shipments of cattle were made. from
this district last spring and Mr.. Mills
expects that still larger shipments
will be made this fall He says a
large amount of stock will have to be
sent out of the country in order to
even up for the shortage Of the feed
crop. The shortage of feed in some
parts is probably due to lack Of rain.

That Petrified Body.

Frank Quinn, the prospector who
found petrified body near Mono lake
a short time ago, returned from Car
son City Wednesday. Mr.. Quinn has
made arrangements with a museum in
San Francisco to exhibit the body and
is now on his way to secure it. He
states that in the vicinity of the body
he found a number of stone vessels,
some in a fair state of preservation, al
so number of flint arrow heads, and
now believes that the place of an old
burial ground of the Indians, who,
knowing of the preservative qualities
of the water, had tied the dead to the
submerged rocks and the chemical &C
ton of the water had done the rest
He will make thorough search of the
locality and believes he will probably
find a number of other bodies and
stone utensils and weapons.-Bridge-
port Chronicle.

JEAN CRAPAUD IN ENGLAND.

ETHE ADVENTURES OF N,
dHARICOT" is a book by J.
storer CIouston, evidently in
tended TO be good deal funnier than it
is. It describes the adventures Of a
Frenchman who goes to England with
the determination to look and behave a.
an EngIishman- The idea IS amusing
enough, but it is clumsiIy worked out,
and there is too much of it.
It is rather a strain on ones imagi-
nation. anyway. TO fancy that any
Frenchman could wish to make himself
English, just as it would be TO suppose
that any typical Briton could desire TO
become French. It is only the American
who finds real pleasure in trying On the
manners and customs Of the country in
which he happens TO be.
N. d'Haricot has numerous adventures
some exciting and some absurd. but
there is nothing which one can remem-
Der ten minutes after reading. However
the book is fairly good light fiction. C5ev

THE LIFE OF A WOMAN.

HATHOS and tragedy-the old. old
story Of dull male lack of recip-
rocating and of unsarshed 1emi-
nine craving. is what R. Y. Risley aims
to impress upon the readers in his
doleful Life of a Woman"
We confess to finding rather bathos
than pathOs in the history. An IN
balanced, uninstructed girl Of nineteen
elects to marry a solid, stodgy young
business man with his way to make,
under a vague impression, first, that she
is in love with him, and secondly. that
marriage means going to Europe and
getting out Of a dull life into an eIcit-
ing one. At thirty she finds herself liv-
ing in a suburb" with their children
and a respectable husband who has
ceased to be romantic lover, but VINO,
IN an everyday. sensible way, is faith
fu, and kind to her. She rebels against
fate. but after all, It IS the fate she
chose for herself. and one which many
another woman would gladly accept in
exchange for her own harder expert
ences.

In his conclusion he compared the two
Queens, and spoke warmly of Victoria's
beautiful character.
It Is the custom at the last lecture of
a course for the men to applaud at the
close, before dispensing. Mr.. Wendell
requested in his last sentence that they

as only college undergraduates can, TO
this suggestion. and it may safely be

LIBRARY DEMAND FOR BOOKS.

PUBLISHERS agree that one of the
best indications Of the popularity
of a new book is the demand for it
through the libraries. The promptness
With which the libraries reflect the public
demand is illustrated by the case Of Ed
ward MarshaITs novel, -'Lizette.''
This book was published last Decem-
her. Four weeks after its appearance
the publishers, Lewis. scribner Co.,
received an order from the largest IL
brary organization in the country for
1850 copies. This is one Of the largest
orders ever placed by library for new
book. the record being $500 copies IN the
case of the most successful book pub
