The Woolen Mills Fbocebbion. On
Wednesday Mr. Jacobs procured several
doien new brooms, and in the afternoon
the sub-bosses announced to the hands
that as McKinley had been elected the
woolen mill hands would march in pro
cession, and that each one would carry
a broom . to show that McKinley had
made a clean sweep. Those of the
hands who sympathized with Bryan
muttered curses against "old Jacobs,"
but as they were afraid they might lose
their bread and butter, all turned out
with the procession excepting a few stub
born women and one man. The woolen
mill employes, in their working clothes,
marched down and up the
Center of
Main street, through the rain, with the
. .:.k aJ
brooms on their shoulders, the skirts of
the women dragging through the mud.
Mr. Jacobs has promised that in case
Mark Hanna is elected he will raise the
wages, which would be a God-send to
the women weavers on flannels and
blankets who cannot now make over
$12, to f 18 at the. highest, and that he
will want more weavers in order to take
advantage of the McKinley prosperity.

In this city kept tally of a couple of dozen
of tramps that called at her house for
food, all of thein being put to work at a
woodpile while it was being prepared,
with the following result : Nineteen left a
stick hulf sawed off und left us soon as
they had eaten; three or four worked
a little whilo after their meal, and but
one seemed in dead earnest, evidently
desiring to fully earn it. He said he
was not a trump and fur his diligence
received a coat in addition. Here is a

Disappbabancbop theForkht. On ac
count of the rapid disappearance of
wood In the vicinity of Oregon City, it
is probable that, when money attain
circulates freely, an electric line will be
built eastward from the city to the large
belt of forest too fur distant to render
hauling by wagon profitable, unless
teamster's wages would considerably
rise. It is said that at Hardscrabble
most of the choppers are working up
culled trees because the sound, good
wood is nearly gone.

Increase in Children. The number
of pupils attending the west side school
is 122, in charge of four teachers, in
cluding the principal, Prof. Durat. Last
year the number of pupils was 120, but
since then the west side district has
been divided, the schoolhouse of the
new aistrict being at AVillumetto Falls.
The rapid increase in children speaks
well for the Oregon climate, and ere
long will demand the creation of still
another school district.

oblivious to women who stand and men
who climb over him has not endeared
himself to his kind; but Kansas City
bos produced even a greater nuisance in
a bicyclist who reads as he rides. It
would seem to the casual observer tbat
the bicycle offered sufficient advantages
to inflict or receive accidents even when
the rider kept his eyes open and his wits
alert This rider is described as going
scorching along with his attention ap
parently absorbed by what he is reading,
while terrified pedestrians climb the tel
ephone poles and seek such other placet
of safety as they can find. A few days
ago another rider followed him, hoping
to be in at the death; but the literary
bicyclist rode on, reading congenial
tales of battle, murder and sudden death,
