OREGON CITY, AUGUST 20, 1898,
1'iticsiDENT MuKinley lias appointed a
democrat to ollice. J. M. llobson,
father of Lieutenant Hobson, is to be
poetinaster at Gieenebora, Alabama.
The fact that the United States 3 per
cent bonds are quoted at lOij, while 4
per cent bonds in Spain are quoted at
41, ehows that there is something rotten
in Spanish finances.
It looks like low prices for wheat, oats,
bops, prunes and nearly all other pro
ducts notwithstanding the victory of the
gold standard forces. Silver will be
recognized yet by the masses.
A Salem man wlio has been up on the
Yukon river to mine, writes back to a
friend : "Offer a premium at the next
slate fair for the biggest fool in the
country and I'll try to be there in time."
Ex.
Hay succeeds Day, only another of the
frequent changes among President Me
Kinley's corps of clerks. But it will be
noted that Mack never changes his con
fidential adviser, Mark being a per
manent fixture a-! the "power behind
the throne. " -Koview.
The Royal Baking Powder Co. has re
futed 12,tJU0,0UO for its business. This
is a tremendous testimonial to the value
of advertitiiig. The business' has been
built up f om a mod.'st beginning to
present gigantic proportions by the judi
cious use of newspaper, advertising
columns.
An item published by Captain Ray, a
government ollicial, places Oregon's gold
output nearly equal that of Klondike
He places ihe Klondike gold output at
$7,300,01)0. Oregon's gold output was
$'i,25r,0U0. It was devided among
counties as follows: Union, $2,500,000;
Baker, $2,000,(00; Douglas; $112,000;
Josephine, $1)00,000; Grant, $200,000;
Jackson, $.'50,0ti0 ; Lane, $H0,000: Curry,
$(i0 ,000 ; Crook. $2000; Harney. $0000;
Lincoln, $2000.
John O. Luck, who headed the middle-of-the-road
ticket during the last cam
paign, has finally discovered that he is
a dead duck. lie is to be congratulated
upon his arrival at that fact; for, al
though this discovery is late, he is away
ahead of a number of people The Times
knows that will never learn that they
are defunct. Mr. Luco says that the
pi p iliHt party is dead, and that there
can be but two parlies in the future.

Lea & Pehkinh, the manufactures of
the world-famous Worcestershire sauce
ought to economize by cutting off their
advertising expenditure a matter of
$25,000 per year. One would have thought
that if any one could rest upon the merit
and celebrity of their product surely
Lea&Perrins could. After four years
of abstaining from advertising, their
sales fell off so greatly that thev have
been forced to re-outer the advertising
field and have doubled their annual out
lay in regard.
Mil. Neumann, formerly congressman
from Oregon, makes an ellicient com
missioner of the general land ollleo, but
lie is one of those avidious leeches, says
the Portland Welcome, who act upon tho
theory that the government was institut
ed for the benefit of tho ollice holders
and their friends. Herman has virtually
created several scores of new oilkus, and
bad them lilled with his political friends,
who draw good salaries for performing
services of no benefit whatever to tho
country. Twenty-sis "forest rangers"
for the western slope of the Cascade
mountains, at $50 per month, are an
example of nermann's thrift.
This prico of wheat don't start up so
quick this year, but it will bo a winner
in the outcome. Observer.
Yes! Editor Doty is quite right.
About thirty days before thu elections
which are to occur In so many of tho
states this fall, and after necessity has
compelled nine tenths of tho producers
to sell, there will be a raise in tho price
until ufter tho elections are over. At
least that is the way the business was
manipulated over tho period covering
our last two elections. But tho trouble
is it always comes out "a winner'' for
the speculator instead of tho hard work
ing producer. Yamhill Record.

COnHENTARIES.
Matters Concerning Local Every
day Affairs Noticed by the
Courier Reporter.
Chief Burns is getting ready for a
round up of the dogs in Oregon City,
and the dog-catcher will soon be abroad
and every canine that don't wear a col
lar will be taken to the city pound,
and on some eaily Autumn morning its
crimson blood will stain the guillotine
block. Curs of high and low degree
block the sidewalks, and unexpectedly
dart around the cornets in front of pe
destrians, f lightening ladies., and prov
ing an intolerable nuisance. Ihe col
larless dog must go. The dog tax like
the war tax is inevitable.
People are beginning to return home
troni the mountains and coast, sun
burned, and nil tho healthier for having
had an outing. They may have Buf
fered inconveniences while on the trip,
returned home tired and dusty, and
glad to get back to taKe a rest, but they
have breathed pure mountain air and
ocean ozone, and had a change from the
every day hum drum of life. While
annual trips to tho seaside or mountains
may be more or less imaginary in their
good advantages, they add variety to
the spice of life.
Up in Eugene they havo a divinity
school, where a number of young men
from various sections of the state are
preparing themselves for the ministry.
Now Eugene like moat up-valley towns
has a superabundance of girls, in conr
parison with the maie population, Con
sequently the exemplary divinity stu
dents are in demand in social circles.
and several of them have married into
prominent Eugene families during the
past few months. And some of them
were fortunate enough to receive a
housekeeping outfit with the brido.
Although Clackamas county ranks
third in number of districts and school
children in the state, tho production ot
school teachers is far in excess of the
demand. In fact, like political offices,
there are not enough to no around.
Clackamas county is turning out more
teachers every year, than the supreme
court is lawyers. Even Portland gets a
fair share of its school mams from
Clackamas county.
Delinquent Taxllst.
On Monday Sheriff Cooke turned over
the delinquent tax list for 1897, to
County Clerk Dixon, who is having a
copy of the samu mudo fur his ollice.
The list amounts to $19,1011 75, againt-t
$28 230 16 delinquent for tho year 1890.
The delinquent list for 1897 is appor
tioned among tho several funds as fol

Misses Ina Chase and Myrtle Curran
are at work on the taxlist for the
county cldk.
Sheriff Cooke, however, will collectat
least $3,000 in taxes before the list is
printed next week, making it much
smaller than it has been for several
years past. Personal notices were sent
to delinquents, and they wero thus in
duced to pay up before costs wore added.
Tho county will be saved considerable
expense by this method.
A Woman Appointed Referee.
In order to carry out the provisions
of tho new national bankruotcy law
Judge Bellinger has been appointing
relerees to look after the cases that mav
arise in the various counties of Oregon.
U L. I orter was first appointed special
refeiee of bankruptcy for Clackamas
county, but he declined the honor for
the reason that he was a member of the
Oregon senate.
C. O. T. Williams was next recom
mended and appointed to the place, but
he concluded that the duties of the po
sition were too complicated, and de
clined. On last Friday Miss Florence Olson,
the young lady attorney of Mihvaukie,
was appointed bankruptcy referee by
Judge Bellinger. All cases in Clacka
mas county coming under the bank
ruptcy act, will now be referred to Miss
Olson.
The Coroner's Jury Said That It
Was Accidental Drowning.
About 40 excursionists were on board
the steamer Altona last Thursday night
from Portland, on their way to Oregon
City to attend a dance at Armory hall.
When the boat neared Clackamas rap
ids. Nellie Cody jumped into the river
and drowned herself. The refusal of
William Surface, of this city, to marry
her is believed to be the cause of the
rash act. Surface has been fireman on
the Altona, and had been keeping com
pany with Miss Cody for some time
past.
Later developments, however, dis
prove the suicide theory, and it was
demonstrated to the coroner's jury to
be a case of accidental drowning. Sun
day afternoon the remains of Miss Cody
was found floating in the Willamette
about four miles below Oregon City by
the Bteamer Altona, as it made its last
up trip. The corpse was fastened to
he bank, and Coroner Strickland was
notified. Ho had the remains removed
to Young's undertaking rooms, and an
inquest was held Monday morning.
The testimony of Surface and several
other witnesses tended to show that it
was a case of accidental drowning.
The testimony adduced indicated that
she had been drinking heavily of both
whisky and beer, and was so intoxicated
that she hardly knew what she was do
ing. She went down to the lower deck,
and after talking to the engineer for
awhile went over to the guard rail and
was leaning againbt the rope where she
vomited. She apparently slipped and
fell over tho rope, but held on for a mo
ment or two, and fell into the water be
fore anyone could reach her.
She sank beneath the waters, and did
not rise again while the occupants of
the boat were in sight. The coroner's
jury returnod a verdict of accidental
death. The remains were taken in
charge by relatives or friends, and con
veyed to Portland for burial. Thus
ends tho life of one more unfortunate.

Breaks Down the Health of an
Oregon Man
What a Few Bottles of Hood's
Sarsaparllla Did for Him.
" Our home is in Clark county, Wash
ington. My little boy was taken with
asthma when only two years old, and
grew worse until he was five, when the
physician advised ns to take hira to a dry
climate. I resolved to go to the great
wheat fields ol Eastern Oregon and work
In harvest, but I soon found my own
health was failing. I could neither eat
nor drink without getting sick. I was
blind and dizzy. I procured a bottle of
Hood's Sarsaparilla and began taking It,
and in a few weeks I was well and able to
work every day. My little boy Is now
taking Hood's Sarsaparilla with good
results." v. Fattee, Wasco, Oregon.
