EVENTS OF THE WEEK. Native Soni K." 11. Uabfoort, fur merly of Dili place,, v.rlloi aa follow! In regard to native aona of Oregon: The recent ureal gathering of Native Soni of California la In marked contrast to the apparent apathy of the native-born real' ihmti of Oregon. Hon. It. A. Miller, of Uregon City. In a recent conversation with Attorney W. W. Cardwell and the writer at Bosoburii, gave out the opinion that the native aona of Oregon could be orgauUed ai thoroughly aa the entliiwi antic aocietlea of California, if aome one would only devote a little time to the work. Two or three yeara ago Colonel Miller made a move In thia direction by organizing a parlor of Native Bona and Daughter! at Jacksonville, and lias al ways euthunia8llcal!y advocated the idea. The native born aona and daughter! of Oregon cannot do too much to reverence and honor the names of the early pioneera of the atate, who founded greater commonwealth than they anticipated . And thia can be done in no better way than In forming the aona and daughters of pioneers into fraternal societies as has been done In California. Californlans frequently throw out the Insinuation I hut Oregonl ans have a lack of state pride, and it la true we have displayed a lack In inter est In that respect, no matter how pa triotic our feelings. Oregon wants more atate pride and patriotlsm.and this state of feelings can better be Incalculated by an organization of the native sons. Rudy Weddino.

The walls will be concrete from the bottom of the river, 30 feet under wator, to the roof of the structure. The dynamo-room will be 30 feet above the foundation. As the work may hereafter proceed without fear of a rising river, it will not be necessary to crowd operations with so much haste as heretofore. LOCAL NEWS ITEMS. Tug Btkbl Stovi Racket. Those in Clackamas county who have bought tec! stoves "on time" may be interested in and instructed by the following item from the Hillsboro Independent In 1803 a slick confidence man drove his red wagon out among the farmers and Bold several of those "new Bteel ranges worth $75, but because of a kind regard for the prospective purchaser, the accommodating agent would take ' $72 and accept a personal note for that amount, payable on or before five years." The note was signed by both husband and wife, and the stove fired up It proved fairly good, but no better than one of cast iron costing no more than $15, at least the bread baked in the new fangled thing was no sweeter, but rather exceedingly bitter this summer when a collecting agent called for his money. "Note is not due for four years yet." "O. yes it is, my good man. It reads plainly, September 1, 1894." And so it did. Now what puzzles our victimized farmer is to know Just how his signature was transferred from that five year note to the one year bill payable. There are several victims in the north part of the county, but they are too gritty to squeal . Another Pioneer Gone Septimus Huelat. a well-known member of the Oregon City bar, died at his residence here on Tuesday at 5 p. m.,aged 67 years, and was buried on Thurday.
