Xeiv York Delegates Had a Tleas
unt Outing Yesterday,
The New York delegation visited Ore
gon City yesterday. They were glad they
went. They saw the beautiful city, they
saw the magnificent falls that furnish
Portland with motive power and light.
They met Dr. W. E. Carll and tasted
some of his famous mint julip. They
were captured.
The Oregon City excursion was one of
the particularly enjoyable features of the
New Yorkers' Western trip. The party
.left Portland on a special trolley car on
the line of the East Side railway about
8:15 p. m. and returned about 7:30.
Mayor W. A. Storey and wife, Max M.
Shillock and wife and C. J. Oliver were
among the Portlanders who accompa
nied the party and made themselves

about the same.
The parly left Oregon Cily with three

CITY COUNCIL : riEET
And a Franchise for a Motor Line
Ordered Published.
A special meeting of the city council
W3B held Wednesday afternoon. The
mayor and all the councilmen were pres
ent, except Busoh. An ordinance was
read granting G. 0. Fields a franchise to
build a motor line from the terminus of
the East Side Railway Company's track
on Main street to a connection with the
franchise for the proposed motor line to
Canemah, granted by the county to G.
C. Fields. A motion was made that the
ordinance be published. Miln moved
an amendment that the ordinance be
laid over until the city received an offer
of $10,000 for the franchise. The amend
ment was lost, all the councilmen voting
against it except Huntley, Koerner, and
Miln. The ordinance was then ordered
published, Fields agreeing to pay ex
pense of same. The franchise differs
only from the one granted Fields to
build a motor line along the county
road to Canemah, in that its life is 30
instead of 50 years, and the holder of the
franchise is required tokeep roadways and
biidgts in repair. Miln and Koerner
spoke against the granting of the fran
chise, and fSchubel for it, declaring
that the completion of this line to Mar
quam, would be of material benefit to
Oregon City.

Remarkable Statements Credited
to Dewey ami Otis.
Boston, July 8.- Rev. Cljjy McCauley
has written a letter to the Transcript
dated at Tokio, Japan, June 1. Mr.
McCauley declares that Admiral Dewey
said to him :
"Rather tlmn make a war of conquest
on the Filipino people, I would take up
anchor and sail out of the harbor."
Mr. McCauley visited Manila in Jan
uary, in search of health. Of his views
there he writes: "For a long time, I
could not believe that the disastrous
drift of events was known to the Wash
uigton authorities, I was inclined to
lay the responsibility for the increasing
perils upon the military commander
directly in charge.
"Yet, now it seems clear to me that
literal oueuionee to his superiors in
America ; that there it was assumed that
the whole right and duty concerning the
uture disposition and cotitrol of the
'Philippine islands lay in the wishes and
will of the United States; that what the
Filipinos themselves might with nted
not be taken into the account in formu
lating plans for their government."
The writer had a talk with General
Otis.; "Among other things," said Mr.
McCauley, "General Otis expressed re
gret that there was not a better knowl
edge of the situation among the Wash
ington legislators than there 8 'emed to
be. And he impressed me deeply by
his declaration ; 'I was ordered to this
post from San Francisco. I did not be
lieve in the annexation of theee islands
when I came here, nor do I believe in
the annexation now.'
';I alto had the privilege of a conver
sation with Admiral Dewey," the writer
says, and gives (his version of it:
"Dewey spoke much of his concern over
the turn affairs had taken and added
that he was 'powerless to act.' Yet in
one point in his remarks he declared :
'Rather than make a war of conquest on
these people I would up anchor and sail
out of the harbor.' "
Mr. McCauley says he wrote Presi
dent McKinley, whom he met in Wash
ingtion, regarding the situation and pre
dicting the outbreak which had since oc
curred. Weather Report.

the week averaged 61 degrees, which is
one degiee lower than for the prece ling
Tveek and four decrees lower than for the
corresponding week of l ist year. The
maximum temperatures ranged from 69
degrees to 80 degrees and the minimum
irom 44 degrees to 00 degrees. IN rain
fell during the week. The mornings
were generally cloudy (high fog) and the
afternoons were clear, 'five winds were
from the west to north and light in
force.
Crops The temperature and sunshine
conditions were favorable to the grow
ing crops, but rain would be of benefit.
The continued dryness was not injurious
because there was an absence of hot dry
vinds.
The cutting of wheat for liny has io.ti-
menced in a few sections. Clover,
timothy and cheat continue to bo cut.
The hay crop is turning out well as it
has ever done. Fall-sown wheat, oats
and barley are turning yellow; in a few
favored localities barley harvest has
commenced. Kirk-sown spring grain
has commenced to head. The spring
grain promises well ; the yield will net
be as heavy as the fall sown. The re
ports indicate that the grain crop is in a
fairly satisfactory condition, not as good
as in some years, but better than in
others.
Strawberries are about over. Cherru s
are ripening; Royal Anns are about two
weeks late ripening. Apples, pears and
prunes have not changed in condition;
dropping has ceased and the fruit now
on the trees will probably mature. The
light fruit crop allows of an extra good
growth of wood, so that the orchards
are really benefitted by the light crop.
Hops are making good growth ; lice
are increasing and spraying has com
menced in many of the yards. The cur
rent condition of the vines is favorable
for a good crop.
Garden produce is making good grow
th; rain is needed more for gardens
than for anything else.
Raspberries are ripe and very plenti
ful. Blackberries promise a good crop.
To-day the crop prospects for western
Oregon are fairly satisfactory. In east
ern states the present crop prospects of
Oregon W)uld be called excellent, but
compared with usual conditions in Ore
gon they must be classed as only fair.
Bummer weather prevails and a gen
eral rain is not probable for two months
more. A few showers west of the Cas
cades and thunderstorms east of them
may occur. The movement of the at
mosphere is such that hot northeast
winds are net probable. The grain crop
is now in its critical stage and an ab
sence of hot winds for two weeks more
will allow the greater portion of the
grain crop to mature without shrivelling

Paint Talks
(No. 7)
Just the other day I had the pleasure of convincing
a customer of mine that in his effort to save a cent a
pound on white lead he could easily loose 2$ per cent of
covering quality by not buying the best; hence a saving of
25 cents on fifty pounds of lead would mean a loss of
nearly two dollars in the long run. For the cost of the
labor added to the other material is nearly double the
cost of the lead and if your lead is inferior there is lost
labor and lsot oil. It is also pretty generally acknowledged
by every one who has taken the trouble to look into the
matter that Carter's lead WILL cover just 25 per cent
more surface than any other lead on the market to-day.
Now when a dealer offers you any other kind but Carter's
and will only sell you Carter's when you insist upon it,
you can rest assured he is making more money on the
other kind, even if it sold a cent per pound cheaper.
There are many hooks and crooks in the paint business
and as a matter of protection you should buy this com
midity above all others of a dealer you are sure of. I be
lieve I have treated every paint customer so fairly in the
past that when he wants paint material in the future he
will come to me again.
My customers have come to know that my guaran
tee means what it says and that I always make it good.
