The d. P. & A. N. company is resort
ing to all sorts Of attempts to crowd the
steamer Spencer out OF business on the
Columbia. The Regulator people were
upset, though, in one of their tricks. A
barbedwire fence of eight wires wasplaced
across the county road at Lyle landing
last Tuesday. But the fence didn't stay
there. Marion Splawn, road supervisor
OF the Lyle district, got out his little ak,
cut the fence down and threw it into the
river, and informed the ID. P. & A. n.
agent that any more fencing up Of the
public roads of Klickitat county would
result in criminal proceedings being
brought, and thus the war goes merrily
on.

he has two acres Of land from which he
made 81, 100 this year. The school house
question is the live issue at White Sal
mon. Mr. Moore says he is not opposed
to good schools, but would prefer new
building on condition Bingen and Cam
eron districts could be brought in again,
and teams hired to take the children to
school. A very good idea. There would
be more money then for better teachers.
