OREGON CITY, CLACKAMAS COUNTY, OREGON, MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1903, No. 25, VOL. I. p. STILL IN CONTROL BROWNELL AND HIS FRIENDS CARRY THE PRIMARIES. Fight Is Made la Senator's Own Wiird But the Organization Won Out By Vote of 4 to I Charles F. Clark Is a Delernt;. The Republican primaries were held in all the precincts of the county Sat urday and in most instances passed off without a fight. Senator Brownell will have probably 100 out of the 153 votes in the county convention, which meets in this city next Saturday. In ward 2, Oregon City, Surveyor-General Henry Meldrum, Ex-Sheriff Eli Maddock and L. M. Patterson put up " a fight against the regular ticket, but were defeated by a vote of 4 to 1. In wards 1 and 3 there was no opposi tion. Ex-County Commissioner John Lewellen, in the third ward, scratched every man on the ticket except J. N. Harrington, saying he would not vote for a Brownell man. So little interest was manifested in ward 1 that the polls were , not opened until an hour after the time set for voting. A heavy vote was polled in ward 2, which is Mr. Brownell's own ward. Here it is that many of the union labor men re side, and the vote shows that they lined up for the senator. Down in Clackamas the usual fight was put up, with the result that Charles F. Clark waselected a delegate. Clark was a candidate for the legis lature on the fusion ticket last June. It is exepcted a resolution will be pre sented to the county convention, ask ing that he not be allowed a scat inJ the convention, on account of his op position to the Republican ticket at the last eloction. In' Milwaukie precinct a figiki-WJiti made on the postmastership. Wissing- er's friends worked against Brownell and won the primaries, though it is expected a majority of them will be for Brownelfrat the county convention. Recorder Henry E. Stevens . is a del- Bcmrn. In Abernethv precinct the Brownell forces won. George A. Steel, ex-chairman of the state central com mittee, ex-postmaster at Portland, and the man who expected to bo.Re- gister of the Oregon City land office by the grace of God and Joseph Simon, was placed at the head of the ticket and turned down flat. Mr. Brownell is not a candidate for conaress. but he has never said that lie would not be a candidiate. Liberal Brevities. . LIBERAL, Or., March 26. (Spe cial.)

To the number of about 200 the members of Maple Lane Grange and their friends met at their new hall on Saturday night, March 21, for an evening's quiet enjoyment. The table was filled with beautifully decorated baskets, containing all the delicacies usually found in such packages. The wistful glances cast by the young men present indicated that there would be a lively time when the auctioneer took the stand. William Beard acted as auctioneer and kept the house in an uproar of laughter for over an hour. The baskets brought all the way from 40 cents to $2.50. The boys were very anxious to know who brought tho baskets but being denied that privilege, the bidding became very, animated. All were well satisfied with their part ners and everything passed off harmon iously. After the lunch had been dis- 'posod of, dancing was indulged in until midnight, when all dispersed to their homes, much pluused with the evenings entertainment. The pro ceeds, 2fi.80, goes into the hall fund. PROSPECT IS GOOD SOUTHERN PACIFIC CO. FAVORS SOUTH END ROAD.

Ou several other occasions the stags when hit went off with such strength that when they fell they dug their antlers In'tlw rrv.r-.d and turned coniulete sonier- sanUs. The first caribou we killed was a fawn. We picked him out because we wanted meat, and, being young, wo thnnirht he oucht to be tender.

Councilmen Sheahan, Huntley and Story 'or the city, Messrs. Albright, Griffith and Charman, for the road subscribers and Manager Koehler and Chief Engineer Grondahl, for the S. P. Co., held a conferance in this city Friday afternoon relative to the pro posed road leading from the south end of the city, which now has no means of egress and ingress for farmers living in the southern portion of the county. The conference was held to deter mine on the modo of the construction of the crossing, which must be made across the right of way of the Southern Pacific Company. The railroad offic ials soeni to be favorably disposed to ward the road and will send estimates on the cost of a crossing on Third stroet. The feasibility of an overhead and an underground crossing will be investigated. The latter is considered to bo by far the host crossing in this instance. Mayor Dimick and Engineer Rands were present at the conference. For years Oregon City felt the need of this South End Road, as it will save four miles between the county seat and that part of Clackamas Coun ty to the Boutli of it. ,Tlie proposed mart t.n ('minuet, the citv with the Lawton Hill road is miles long, and the cost of its construction lias been estimatod at 9000. The 80-foot bluff between the business and res idence portion of the city will be sur mounted by an eighty per cent grade alonir its face, beginning at the track on Third street and climbing the face of the cliff for 1000 feet. A tunnel under the railroad track will save a steep pull from Main street, and will also very muoh lesson the dangor oi (noma nnd nedestrians crossing the track. The railroad officials agrood to move the rock and earth taken from the excavation on their own flat cars, free of cost to the citizens of Clack amas County. Should the lower crossing be agreed on, steel trusses resting on solid mas onry will support the railroad (rack, and the walls of the incline will be faced with stone in order to insure their strength and permanency. Paripiace Mothers' Club. The Mothers' Club, of Park Place, held an interesting meeting in the as sembly room of the school house last Friday afternoon. A good program was rendered by the school, consisting of songs, recitations and papers, in which all did well, reflecting great credid upon their instructors. The work of the eleventh grado pupils was especially interesting, each subject being treated with thoroughness and' originality. The synopsis of Ivanhoe by Miss Sclrua Rodlun, rnd that of Count Robert of Paris, by Mr. Frank Knoll, were excellent papers, while the talk on Charles Dickens by Miss Victorine Wilson wss an able sketch of that "popular author. After the program by the school had been rondered, Mrs. R. A. Miller, the ever-popular Shakespearian reader. gave an excellent rendition of scenes from King John, in which she person ated the part of Constance. Miss Mar garet Williams followed with a paper on the "Relation of Parents to the Primary School," which was full of good, practical thoughts. A short dis cussion followed, after which the Club adjourned, feeling that the afternoon had been well spent. The closing dancing party of the series given during the Winter by Miss Elma Albright was a very enjoyable affair. The English .orchestra from Portland furnished musio for the oc casion and Willamette Hall was pret tily decorated. Lemonade puncli was served. The patronesses were Mrs. E. J. Daulton and Mrs. Augusta Warner. The Mother's Club, of Parklace.will meet next Friday afternoon in the as sembly room of tho schoolhonso nnd will be addrcssesd by Mrs. W. A. White, of this city.
