From this it is taken the company will

The Columbia river will hereafter.
until business increases, be compelled
to get along with the four German
steamships chartered by the Portland
Asiatic company. These vessels are on
their way across the Pacific and one
is due within few weeks. They are
to take the place Of the Indras, which
are now leaving this port for the ORR

Asiatic company are the Aragonia,
registering 51ss gross tons; the Aba

The early rise in the Columbia river

with delight by the berry men and
those who have early fruit for the east
ern market In the past when the Col
umbIa has been at It's height in June
and July. the early fruit men have lost
heavily on account Of their inability
to ship the fruit to the eastern mar
ket. This was caused by the water
coming over the railroad track and
tying up the trains. The early rise
shows that this cannot occur this year,
and the water will be normal during
the berry season.

Mother Loses Mind Because Of Sad
Death Of Sons.

Death Of Sons.
Victoria, B. c.. May 4.--As a sequel
to the shocking double tragedy recent
ly enacted at the home OF Samuel T.
Coulter at Nelson, B. c., when one son
became lost in the hills and perished
and a second boy drank embalming
fluid through accident and died during
the funeral of the FIRST, Mrs. Coulter
has been stricken with continued hys-
terra, and It is not believed her reason
can be restored.
The awful anxiety OF the hunt for
the lost child told terribly on the
young mother and the terrible shock
OF finding the boy dehd In the woods
cmpletely prostrated her. During the
funeral services she sobbed violently
and showed signs Of hysteria.
The final blow that unseated her
reason came when the mother returned
to her home to find her other son dead
on the floor Of the living room, having
In childish playfulness drank a guam
tity Of embalming fluid.
Physicians are doing all they can to
save Mrs. Coulters reason, but little
hope OF success is entertained.

The COMET from this part of the moral
vineyard, perhaps a few items may not
be amiss to your many readers.
Farmers are about up with their har-
vesting and "layipg by" their corn
crop, and are now ready for turning
the soil for wheat, only waiting for the
ground to get in proper condition.
Mrs. John Crosswhite and little son,
of Kansas City, Mo-, are expected to
arrive here in n few days on months
visit to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L.
E. Wilson. Mr.. Crosswhite will arrive
some two weeks later.
Politics are beginning to be the talk
of the day, and from present indica-
tions the political lines are going to be
more tightly drawn than has been GUS
tomary in county elections for several
years. Ihe republicans having q de-
cided majority in the county it is ad-
mitted by the present encumbents' best
friends that they will have to get
mighty hustle on if they succeed in be-
ing reelected. The personal popu-
larity of both the trustee and sheriff
will be very potent element in their
behalf, and with unremittent and un-
firing labor until the close of the polls,
we may pass them under the wire. The
result either way is bound to be close.
The health of this community was
never better, and if our prominent and
popular physician did not have several
other business enterprises en- hand that
amply supplies the demands Of the in
ner man, he would perhaps be COM
PEELED to go to bed hungry on many oc-
casions.
We have recently had free delivery
of the mail established here with this
starting point. Also a postoffice

Blackberries our only sure crop has
about played out. 1t is needless to
say more of them were canned and
made into jam and jelly than common,
for the reason apples, peaches and all
other fruits are almost o complete fail

Johnson City is certainly enjoying a
period of reformation, as we have not
heard of killing or attempted killing
or attempted killing for quite awhile.
The wheat crops here are better than
for many years. If there were not so
many horrible democrats scattered
among us the good Lod would prob
ably have smiled upon us two fold bet
