Union Mills and Marquam.
T. A. Olow, a former residniit of Car
sou, Xev., who, with his wife and five
Ciildreu, came to Union Mills last Nov.,
has leased the farm of G. J. Trullinger.
Mr. Clow says this coumry is all right
except bad roads.
G. J. Trulliutier, owner of the paw and
roller mills at Union Mills, came across
the plains in (he typical i'X-a!?on to
Oregon Territory in 1848, and located
his present home as a Donation Land
Claim in 18'2. He erected his sw mill
in 1858 and the grist mill in 1878 For
many years he run a wool carding ma
chine, which, some ten years since, was
purchased by parties at Milwaukie and
removed to that town.
Liberal P. 0. and store I found doing
good business. .1. A. Hannagan, the
present proprietor, came here from Bri
dal Veil, January, 1898. This store car.
ies a splendid assortment of dry goods,
staple and fmey groceries. Mr. H. does
lis own freighting and sells at Canby
prices.
At present the largest share of the
trade of Liberal and Molalla goes to
Canby because they have a level and
smooth road, but when the new plank
road from Oregon City in completed to
Mulino the wheels will roll towards the
county metropolis. A good winter and
all-the-year-'round wagon road would be
better than a motor line.
On the road to Marquam from Molalla
we found Georjie W. jackson ploughing
for potatoes. He finds the Bui bank the
best general purpnse spud. Last year
he raised 3'.0 bushels and sold the bulk
likt fall for 25 cents per bushel Mr.
Jac'ison's father, Geo W.Br, came to
this county from Illinois in 1845 and lo
cate! the present D. L. C, now owned
by George W. jr. His faiher died 6
years ago, aged 72. Thus one by one
the brave pioneers ho helped lay the
the c irner stones of this picturesque and
fertde commonwealth are passing across
the great divide.
Still farther on the Marquam road we
fame to the farm and hop fields of T. G
iarrett, who, in '52 crossed the plains
I oai Missouri per ox-waon and located
iiis present h imestead where he an I his
goo J wife raised thirteen children and
bete in times cleared up a good farm of
8)a"res. He never wore a nirknan.e

Ufntlkmkn: I desire to oftVr this as
in v testimonial in behalf of the 6-foot
Champion Binder and Bundle Carrier
purchased from you this year. For light
ness in draft and ease of operation, sim
plicity in construction and durability,
will say that no machine to my knowl
edge is lU equal, nor near it. Having cut
lM acres of grain, the machine did not
cause me live minutes' delay, conse
quently not a cent for repairs. All the
Champion machines put in my neigh
borhood have given equally good satis
faction. In fact, I want no better ma
chine than tho Champion.

W. R. Garrett is planting several acres
in yellow dent coin for hog feed. The
late spring has delayed the seeding of
oats, hence a larger than usual acreage
of corn is being planted in the southern
portion of this county.
Mrs. E. A. Gray has one of the neatest
residences and best kept farms between
Molalla and Marquam that goes to show
that a widow woman's farm is not al
ways one of n gleet and decay.
A half mile pouth of Mrs. Gray's is the
old Bob Thompson homestead, A. H.
Logan, leasee. The fruit here is a fail
ure, but a good prospect for grain.
We found the village of Marquam
flourit-hing. Our enterprising young
merchant of this place, proprietor of the
old grange store, finds business fair.
Alvin Cameron, a first-class black
smith and horse sboer, of Eureka, Cal.,
came to Marquam last week and opened
a shop at the old stand opposite the feed
stable.
E. M. Hartman, the guaidian of Un-
e'e Sam's mail depot here reports busi
ness good. For the month of May, 1899,
receipts of the postr ffice eie nearly
double those of the same month in 1898.
From August 1893 to August 1897 this
office issued 1500 money orders, and
since August 1st, 1897, Mr. Hartman has
issued 1231 ordeis.
The M. E. church is building a neat

Gentlemen: The Champion Binder
bought of you the past season has given
me good satisfaction, and am well pleas

All the farmers we cut for are more than
pleased with the work, and have promis

It would seem to a rerson of ordinary
intelligence that a county road master is
anything but a benefit to the people.
We have tried the system before and it
proved a failure. Have we not enough
taxes to pay, that the commissioners
must appoint anotherofflce to eat up the
small pittance allowed for roads? The
only benefit is to the person appointed,
it provides him with a fat salary at the
expense of others. Itwrnldseem that
we have had enouuh of such needless
expense witnout lcadirg it on us again.

I see in last week's is-ue of the Couu-

to take the road supervisorship for one
dollar per day and suggests that labor
ers' wages be cut that we might have
more money to go on the road. Now,
Mr. Ed., the trouble is that good men
can scarcely be had for two dollars per
day, and if such men as Mr. Moore keeps
up a roar it nmy be th.it waves can be
reduced still lower, but for my part I
would have m use for a man that can't
get a job without offering to work for
one dollar per day. Rut mill worse, he
wants to be boss. Well, God pity the
man that would work for him, let alone
the court that would appoint him, , .We

All is excitement at Marquam now.
Hundreds of people assemble each even
ing at the fair grounds pavilion. This
vast concourse of people is occasioned
by the recent appearance of a medium
sized white dog which Jasper would de
scribe as having no particular ear mark,
but a very short tail. This dog appears
on the stage each evening having in
charge three men, one of whom is called
the "Little Doctor," an "end man," and
the third, well, he is just a man. The
dog has the "Little Doctor" so well
trained that he is taking in hands full of
money from some people who hitherto
have been so close that they would
squeeze a quarter until they made the
eagle on it squirm. That passage of
Scripture, "A fool and his money are
soon parted," gives Jasper great conso
lation. E. A. Wright, the traveling correspon
dent of the Courier-Herald, was in
town last week. We look for something
good in next week's paper.
