...Bicycles With Wings...
The nearest approach to flying yet attained. The experts who perfect
ed and the makers who produced the Chainlesa Bicycle are public bene
factors. No noise. No breaks. No friction caused by exposed driving
parts. No attention necessary. "You buy the wheel the Columbia
Ohainless does the rest." Not an hour of time taken to keep the Chainlesa
in order for a year. More durable. More handsome in appearance. Less
expensive "in the end." Absolutely satisfactory under all conditions of
use. The Columbia Chainless stands tonay ae the greatest achievement of
America's oldest and most modern and complete bicycle factory. "You
see them everywhere." They are

Farmers are busy cutting grain.
About all the fall wheat has been cut in
this part of the country. Some thresh
ing has been done, and wheat is not
yielding as well as was expeeted. Both
fall and spring grain has been damaged
by aphis and a small white worm that
worked in the joints of the grain.
The Shaver-Thomas Threshing Com
pany started out this morning. Their
first setting will be across the Molalla
on Dickey prairie.
John Colo will start his new threshing
outfit in a short time.
Herman brothers have moved their
engines from the sawmill and will also
commence threshing soon.
Bagby Bros., who recently purchased
the sawmill from the Herman Bros.,
will put in a new stationary engine, and
will be ready to begin making lumber
in a shcrt time.
The hydraulic that the Bagby Bros,
put in to furuish water for their sawmill
engine, works to perfection. They now
have all the water they need.
Carl Bagby, who hd his scalp badly
lacerated by coming in contract with the
circular saw, is rapidly improving and
will be able to go to work in a short
time.
A. J. Sawtell is busy harvesting his
teazle crop.
Samuel Gregory is also harvesting bis
teazle crop.
Should the patent device that is to
some extent taking the place of the
teazle in the manufacture of woolen
goods prove a success and the culture of
teazles be discontinued, it will be a
detriment to this community, as Mr.
Sawtell and Mr. Gregory pay out hund
reds of dollars each year to the people of
this community to harvest and prepare
the teazle for market.
Not long ago two boys from this place
was over to the Molalla river, and hear
ing something that sounded to them like
a Mast they began to investigate and
found a party of young men and boys
that are well known here, but live across
tfie river in 'the Dickey prairie neighbor
hood. In the river was dead fish float
ing, while others were seen dead in the
bottom of the stream. There has been
more or less blasting going on all gun
mer along the Molalla river, but recently
it has become a general thing. The
river is lined for miles with dead and
decaying fish, and unless the guilty
parties cease operations along that line
they will undoubtedly have a chance to
either pay a fine or go to jail. You that
are guihy lake warning for their will be
special game wardens along the river
This wholesale slaughter of our fish must
be stopped. If only such fish could be
killed by blasting that wejwanted it
would be different, but thousands of
young fish, especially trout and white
fish are killed, also lots of fine trout are
are killed and Bink to the bottom and
cannot be recovered.

SERVING JAIL SENTENCE.
H. S. Adler Doing Time for Taking
Clothing from Selling's Store.
H. S. Adler, a clothing salesman of
good appearance, is now serving a 60
days' sentence in the county jail for
deviating from that safe, straight and
narrow path that leads on to an honor
able career. A couple of weeks ago
George Herron, the salesman in Selling's
store, went to Newport, accompanied by
his family, for a short vacation. Adler,
who for a short time had clerked in the
Moyer clothing store in Portland, was
employed to work during Mr. Herron's
absence. He secured a room at. Mrs.
Shaw's house, where Demitv Sheriff
J.E.Jack, also rooms. Mr. Jack be
came suspicious of Shaw's actions, and
kept a close watch on him, and on Mon
day discovered that Adler had 14 pairs
of pants and other articles in his room.
A warrant was issued for his arrest, and
in the meantime Chief Burns and Sam
Selling, with the authority of a search
warrant, identified and recovered th
clothing. Adler was arraigned before
Justice fcchuebel Tuesday morning and
pleaded guilty, and on the recommenda
tion of Deputy Prosecuting Attorney G.
B. Dimick he was sentenced to 60 days
in the county jail. Had Mr. Selling
been inclined to push matters, it is prob
able, that Adler would have eventually
landed in the penitentiary.
There is some doubt as to Adler beine
the offender's real name, as Sheriff
Cooke has letters in his possession,
taken from the former's pocket, post
marked at Tacoma, and addressed to D.
C. Griffith, Oregon City. Had not
Deputy Sheriff Jack brought matters to
a focus Monday, Adier would have been
safely out of the city by another day, as
Mr. Herron returned from the Beaaide
during the afternoon.

term of circuit court last Saturday, and
the following cases wre disposed of :
Helen B. Anderson vs S. B. Califf, et

Alma M. Hackett asked for a decree of
divorce from Erwin 0. Hackett on the
plea of cruel and inhuman treatment,
and further asked for the custody of the
minor child, Erwin Albert Hackett,
alimony and a portion of the real estate
held by plaintiff. The court made an
order that plaintiff have the custody of
the minor child until September 20th,
when defendant shall have the custody
of the same from that date until said
suit is settled at the November term.
Both plaintiff and defendant are re
strained from taking said minor child
outside of the state. It was also further
ordered that defendant pay into the
county clerks office the sum of $50 to be
given to plaintiff.
The following sheriff's sale were con
firmed: Helen B. Anderson vs. Wil
liam R. Wade; Edward Lund vs. Mrs
Joe Wall.
The Wiser Way.
"How freBh and rosy you you look,
Nora," exclaimed Isabel, who had just
returned from the beach, and was greet
ing friends.
"Yes, dear," replied Nora, "lam feel
ing splendidly, and mamma says I have
an alarming appetite."
"Where in the world have you been
since I saw you?"
"I have remained at home," replied
Nora, "and have worked hard every day.
But I have been taking that wonderful
medicine, Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it
has done me, oh, so much good. You
see I always like to feel well when I go
away, and I leave for the mountains
next week."
People who visit Wilhoit Springs com
plain of the poor condition in which the
grounds are kept, the lack or con
veniences that a few dollars would pro
vide, and the poor arrangements about
the springs. The pioprietor does not
seem to make any effort to make the
visitors' stay there pleasant. An enter
prising man in his place, and with the
great attraction of the springs, would
draw hundreds there every year, would
not run the place like a farm, would
have more liberality, and would be more
accommodating to guests. Canby Inde

G. W. Mallatt, a prominent farmer oi
Mulino, wag in Oregon City Monday,
and reports that the fall wheat already
threshed in that neighborhood is not
yielding over 13 and 14 bushels to the
acre. The green aphis had gotten in
their deadly work, and extracted the
succulent juices from the stalks. Mr.
Mallatt, however, expressess the opin
ion that spring wheat will yield much
better, as the late hot weather was death
to the aphis. Oats give promise of a
good yield.
Ex Sheriff G. W. Grace arrived home
this week fiom St. Michaels, after be
ing away from Oregon City about six
weeks. Mr. Grace started 'to go to
Dawson City by way of St. Michaels,
but upon reaching there learned that it
was extremely doubtful about getting
up the river this season. In fact, none
of the river boats would agree to take
him there this year, so he gave up the
idea of reaching Dawson City this year,
and returned home. Mr. Grace says
that river steamers built here and trans
ported to the Yukon, are positively un
fit for navigation when they reach St.
Michaels.
