Misses Hattie and Jennie Galbraith,

Intyre. They are on their way to Ta-
coma, where they intend to open a con
fectionery store.
agon City 42 years ago. He received
the groundwork of his education in the
Oregon City public schools. Professor
Wortman has resided in New York for
many yean, and has already become fa
mous by his scientific researches, and It
is thought that he will eventually sic
ceed Professor Marsh, who is one of the
foremost scientific men of the country,
but whose advancing years will comptl
him to resign. Edwin Markham, too, the
author of the "Man with the Hoe." is a
native Of Oregon City, and there are
others to hear from.
There is a material falling off in the
criminal business before the courts,
since the office of district attorney was
placed on salary.
Its a game of hide and seek now be
tween the deputy fish commissioners
and the fishermen on the Clackamas
river. It keeps both crowds pretty
busy to watch the maneuvers of the op
posing forces.
There is no question of the patriotism
of the Oregon volunteers, and if their
services are needed, they will remain
there until the last Filipino is subdued.
If their place can be readily filled by
regulars, let them come home by all
means, if they so desire. If the boys
start home in Mav and reach here dur
ing the June days, there will be a big
ger time in Oregon City than was ever
seen at any Fourth of July celebration
ever held here.
A more active movement in Clacka
mas county real estate is certainly more
encouraging, and is no doubt the fore
runner of a more prosperous era of de
velopment. The immigration of new
blood into the country, accompanied by
capital and thrift cannot fail to assist in
improving the conditions of the com'
munity and state.
President Miller and Secretary Gray
are now lubilant over the alrealy very
encouraging prospects for sixth annual
session of the Willamette Valley Chau
tauqua. In the matter of talent it will
surpass any former gathering, with
such celebrities as Sam Jones, J. Dewitt
Miller, Camden Coburn and Frank
Beard. An effort ia now being made to
secure Bob Burdette, and President Mc
Kinley may be a visitor at Gladstone
park, and if be does come he will say
something.
