Miss Jessie Paddock visited friends in Portland last week. Our Congregational friends are mak ing all needful preparation to commence to build a new church soon. They have a beautiful location and it will be quite an addition to our town- There is quite a lively fight going on between the Brownell faction and the Apperson faction in this precinct and the chances are that the Brownell faction will come nut on top although its hard to tell what a day may bring forth. The latest victims with the mumps are Mrs. Hortneli, Mr. hd Deduian, Mabel Laurence, Tony Foster and Miss Laura Johnson. Those who attended as delegates the Sunday school convention from the school at the ball were Mrs.. T. Hot comb, Mrs. Grace Holcomb, Mabel Webster, 8ad'le Hickman, Delia Robin son and Mrs. Kunyon. ( The Hon. Geo. CI Brownelfaddressed tbe voters of Clackamas last Friday evening at the brick hall on the main issues of the day, after which a republi can club was organized with James Weils as president and William Robin son as secretary. The house occupied by Mr, Brady was entirely consumed by fire Monday morning. The contents were all ,iaved and the family escaped uninjured. The Hon. U'Ren of Milwaukie ad. dressed a good audience of ladies and gentleman at the brick hall last Satur day evening from a populistic stand point. He held his audience spell bound for nearly two hours, and was greeted with round upon rmnd of ap pinnae. Miss Myers and a Mr. Moo re of Ore gon City and Mr. Nash from University Park, Portland, worshiped at the M. E .. church Sunday last. A number of the young folks gave a hard times party Monday evening in honor of Miss Rose ' Douglas at Mr. Marion Johnson's. The time was spent in games and music. About 12 o'clock all were invited to partake of a hard times supper. At a late hour all went to their homes feeling that the event was enjoyably spent. The winter term ot school closed last Monday and the spring term, com menced Tuesday morning. A majority of the patrons of the school are well pleased with the way the school has been conducted by the two efficient teachers, Miss Georgia Ruth and Miss Agned Mattock. Mr. Ed Dedman was elected clerk of tbe school district board at the annual meeting for one year. The school gave a very beautiful flag drill last Friday in memory of Wash ington's birthday.

Clark was in attendance at the farmer's institute in Oregon City last Saturday and read a very interesting paper. At the school meeting beld at the school house last Monday evening for the election of a director, two candi dates were put in nomination, Mr. Daniel Talbert and Mr. Mather; 46 ballots were cast, Mr. Talbert receiving 24, a majority of two and has declared duly elected for the term of three years. We believe this makes the fourth time tbe voters of tbe district have honored Mr. Talbert with the office. This speaks well and goes to show that be is good straightforward, honest man. Dr. Hickman and Mr. Longcoy are the other two members of the board. March 4th. Asox. COUNCIL MEETING. Regular sesst n. on Wednesday evening.
