The following biography will be of interest to the many friends and ac quaintances in this county, of this estimable couple. "FroTi many standpoints the life and work of S. B. Johnson, once a large land owner of Clackamas Coun ty Is worthy of emulation as Illus trating what may lie accomplished by perserverance in the face of little en couragement and practically not ma terial assistance. "Mr. Johnson, who Is well versed in the pioneer undertakings of this coun ty was born In Howard county, Mo., Feb. 5, 1S33, his fathers farm being near Boonslick. The family was es tablished in Missouri by Joslah John son, the father of S. B. Johnson, w ho emigrated from Patrick County, va., in 1832 and in 1840 moved to Polk county, the same state. Three years later he settled In Cedar county, Mis souri, and after farming for three years, moved to Jackson county In 1845. Seven years later May 4, 1852, the son S .B. Johnson started across the plains, terminating his journey in Clackamas County. He was marnea on the day of his departure from Mis souri for his new home in the far west "He had file yokes of oxen with which to complete the journey; he came out at the mouth of the Sandy river and located on the Clackamas at what Is now Oregon City. During the winter he stayed in the town and in 1853 went up the Clackamas and worked in a sawmill for a few months A little later he located on a dona tion claim of three hundred and twen ty acres one mile west of Damascus, and after a years trial sold out ana located on a farm of three hundred and twenty acres, one and a hall miles northwest of Damascus. 'Of this property fifty acres are in cultivation and the improvements made theron are of the most modern kind. He erected a large sawmill making a specialty of the manufact ure of ship-kness which he sold in Portland, Oregon. Later he sold his Bawmill and his beautif'il home and moved to Gresham where he has built a large and com modious residence and where he ex pects to reside the remainder of his life. To some extent Mr. Johnson has left his home interest to mingle with the undertakings incident to so pros perous a County. A Democrat In politics, his sympa thies are with the common people, and with those who struggle with ad verse conditions. He is the friend of education having materially promoted the cause as a member of the school board. "Mrs. Johnson who was born in Jackson County, Mo., has courageous ly borne the trials and deprivations IncWent to pioneer life. She is the mother of nine children, Mary, Jane, Charles F., Ellen, Dora, Earl and John H., deceased. The surviving children are Mrs. Hester Pinkley, William H. and Edward R. Johnson." PLATTEO FARM WILL BE BIG MOLALLA AID George H. Gregory has platted his twenty-three acre farm adjoining Mo lalla, into lots 50 by 120 feet each. The corner lot will be the location of the new bank and a nice new bank ing house will be erected. The Meth odist church adjoins this property. The Post Office, Public School and Grange Hall are immediately across the road, and north of the tract This is the finest property adjoin ing Molalla, and Mr. Gregory haa made it possible for the- town to grow. When the Clackamas Southern Rail way is completed, which will be be fore the first of October, Molalla will be the principal distributing point, in the interior and within two years Molalla will have a population of at least 2,000. Mr. Gregory has always been pro gressive, and by platting his land so that Molalla can grow, shows his faith In that progressive community.

CONTEST LOSE TO BE EXCITING SEVERAL MEN CANDIDATES ARE DETERMINED TO OVERTAKE MISS McCORD CONFIDENCE IS EXPRESSED BY AIL Entrants Should Not Forget That In Working Hard For Auto 8eo ond Prize Will Be Eas ily Won STANDING OF CANDIDATES. Ruby McCord 149,200 t Joseph Sheahan 47.200 'V Kent Wilson ,12,600 John Brown 15,000 John Weber 6,800 John Haleston 6,000 ft t A. O. Klndler 7,200 $, The contest manager waa reliably Informed Wednesday that all the can didates in the Morning and Weekly Enterprise automobile contest, which will soon come to a close, were doing their oest to land the Ford touring car, offered as first prize. While MIbs McCord still leads in the list publish In this column there Is considerable doubt as to whether she is in reality the leader, for it is known that sever al of the contestants are holding in reserve many blocks of ballots. This, however. Is their affair, and their plan of campaign. It they win by strategy it will prove that they ex cel in ingenuity, which la something not despUed in this age, when men succeed by matching wits. The Enterprise contest is a beauti ful one. With only one girl candi date, and that one so far as la de finitely known in the lead, it la not believed that the men, chivalrous as they are known to be, will let her win without a struggle. Chivalry, of course Is one of the finest attributes of man hood, but in this age when the women are competing with the men in every walk of life, it would be absurd for the men In the automobile contest to give up and say," Well let the girl have it" And she is not the kind of young woman who expects such con sideration. In fact the contest man ager finds Miss McCord to be posses sed of the real fighting spirit of the good natured kind of course and she would hesitate before accepting even such a valuable prize as an automo bile without working haTd for It But she realizes the race will be to the finish, and she Is doing her best What she is endeavoring to do is to get such a lead that it will be impossible for any oMhe others to overtake her, re alizing all the time that her position is far from secure. So if any of the other candidates think, and the con test manager knows they do not, that she will rest on her laurels the few remaining weeks of the contest they are badly mistaken. However, It la a fact that she has made a thorough canvass, has obtained aid from virtu ally all her friends, while several of the others have not. If such is the case it will be much easier for them to obtain votes In future than she. Then, too, someone will get the sec ond prize $100 in gold and even if you lose the car this prize will more than repay you for your work. Thera isn't much time left, so it behooves all the candidate to do their best from now on, and the contest manager is confident that they will.
