The nearest approach to flying yet attained. The experts who perfect

factors. No noise. No breaks. No friction caused by exposed driving
parts. No attention necessary. "You buy the wheel the Columbia
Chainless does the rest." Not an hour of time taken to keep the Chainless
in order for a year; More durable. More handsome in appearance. Less
expensive "in the end." Absolutely satisfactory under all conditions of

Reports From Farmers Concerning
Crop Yields, etc.
F. A. Mattoon, of Viola, was in town
Friday, and states that the wheat
threshed in that neighborhood, has
yielded from 20 to 25 bushels to the
acre. ..'
Josi Brothers, who conduct a dairy on
the Apperson place at Mount Pleasant,
have demonstrated that two crops can
be raised off the same piece of ground
in Clackamas county in one year. Last
w'nter they sowed a piece of ground to
rye, which was cut for hay early in
June. The, stubble was immediately
plowed under, and the ground planted
to corn. The stalks of corn are now sev
eral feet high, and will make excellent
feed for the cows.
Will Vaughan, who was in from Mo
lalla, reports that wheat is yielding
18 bushel to the acre, and the oat crop
is very short.
Henry Wolfer, of Needy precinct, was
in town Monday, and reports that the
fheat crop is about one third short,
Henry Will, of Aurora, was in town
Monday, and states that the hop crop
is very good in quality, but the quantity
is. much less than last year. The hops
are comparatively free from lice this
year, and will remain so, unless there
should be rainy weather between now
and hop picking time. In some yards
picking will begin next week, but the
work will be more general on the fol
lowing week. Hops will bring from
to 9 cents, and several contracts
have been filed in the county recorder's
office for the latter figure.
J. T.Woodward, of Carus, was in the
city Monday, and reports that the aver
age yield of wheat in that neighbor
hood is about 15 bushel to the acre.
Quite a number of Oregon City hop
pickers are getting ready to go to the
yards next week. This may account
in some measure for the unusual num
ber of recent weddings.
,Among the hop contracts recently
filed in the recordei's oilice are Leonard
Heinz, Macksburg, to E. Wattenberg &
Co., 5000 pounds at 9 cents J John II.
Daly, of Macksburg, 6,000 pounds to
the same firm for same figure ; also Wil
liam Thompson, of Needy, 5,000 pounds
to the same firm for 9 cents.
W. L. Starkweather, of Concord, was
in town Wednesday, and states that
the grain crop was very short in that
neighborhood. J. S. Risley, the big
farmer of that section of Clackamas
county, only threshed 1500 bushels of
wheat and oats combined.
Brief Extracts from Interesting Let
ters Written H9me by the Vol
unteers In the Phillipines.
Numerous letters were received from
the Oregon City volunteers at Cavite on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last
week. They are still doing garrison
duty at Cavite, and luxuriating in ba
nanas and other tropical fruits. The
water is evidently worm, and they sigh
for a drink of Willamette juico pumped
out of the basin .
Lieutenant W. A. Huntley wrote an
interesting descriptive letter of the is
lands, the peoplo and conditions there,
to his brother, C. G. Huntley.
Captain L. L. Pickens has written the
following to Mrs. E. C. Protzman, of
the Portland Emergency Corps: I wish
to thank you and the ladies of the Ore
gon Emergency Corps for the noble
work you did in furnishing us with a
fund. It has been of untold value to
us in fact, I don't know what we
would; have 'done without the money
Much suffering has been relieved by its
use. No Rick man could possibly have
eaten the food prepared for the men
on that voyage.
Herman K. Jones writes an interest
ing letter, but does not relish the idea
of remaining on garrison duty at Cavite
He says that if a vote was taken on the
question of remaining there, or coming
home, the vote would be overwhelmingly
in favor of returning to Oregon. He
thinks, however, that all the volunteers
who do not wish to remain, will be mus'
tored out, as 5,000 soldiers will likely be
left in the Phillipines. Herman says
that they are doing garrison duty there,
and are living much better than they
were on board the transports. He has
not seen a white woman since reaching

John Mack and 0. P. Moore filed no
tices of quartz locations in the county
clerk's office Wednesday on two claims
in the Bald Mountain mining district,
near the headwaters of the Clackamas.
Mr. Mack is a well known mining man
of Spokane, and has tested 17 different
quartz ledges in that section during the
past 35 days. The two claims recently
located are rich in gold, silver and cop
per, and Mr. Mat, says that the only
drawback is ihe distance from transpor
tation facilities. Development work
will be pushed on the properties, and
the Bald Mountain district may yet be
come an important mining camp
A. dozen claims cr more have been lo
cated on different ledges in this district
during the past few months.
John Confer returned a day or two
ago from a prospecting tour in the Cas
cade mountains, and located a very
promising gold-bearing quartz ledge on
the Kellawah creek, a tributary of the
Clackamas.

Wednesday morning's Oregonian has
the following :
P. F. Morey. who hai had his resi
dence on the bluff at Oregon City for
the past five or six years, has leased for
a term of three years, from September
15th, the R. B. Knanp residence, which
occupieb a whole block on Seventeenth
stieet, north. The house and grounds
coBt about $125,000, and form one of the
finest residences in the city. The Mo
rey residence in Oregon City is the fin
est there, beautifully situated on the
brow of the bluff overlooking the city,
the "falls of the Willamette and along
stretch of that stream. His reasons for
removing to Portland are to secure the
advantage of better educational facili
ties for his family. The house has not
been occupied of late, and some $1500
will be expended in thoroughly reno
vating it before the new tenant moves
in. A family will be placed in tho Ore-
the Phillipines, and the native women gon City residence to take chargo of it
do not come up to the standard of until Mr. Morey removes there again.

iVccording to tho correspondent of the

to do police duty.
Ben Smith, the well known con
tractor of Portland, who is repairing the
East Side Railway Company's trestle
