tendance. There was a general meeting of the ex
ecutive committee, and members of the
other committees of the reception to the
volunteers, at the armory Saturday
night. The matter of the volunteers
voting to be mustered out in San Fran
cisco, was generally discussed, and
strong arguments were made in favor of
returning the money to the subscribers
of the reception fund, but it was voted
to postpone the matter. A reception
will likely be tendered those, who re
turn. A representative of the Enterprise re
ceived considerable advertising from the
Oanby-Aurora neighborhood agreeing to

small article on the page mentioned,

SKIPPED OUT.
McLougMin, the Electric Line
Promoter Leaves His Cred
itors Behind
N. O. McLaughlin, the active pro
motor of the Oregon City, Molalla and
Southeastern Electric Railway, has gone
and his whereabouts are unknown. He
left three or four days ago, but his ab
sence was not particularly noted, until
his wife had the household furniture
and belongings packed and started to
Portland Wednesday afternoon. G. H.
Yonng, who had a claim against the
furniture, seized the chattels by attach
ment proceedings. Mrs. McLoughlin
explained matters by stating that her
husband had skipped out and also had
deserted her. McLoughlin's creditors
are numerons, and the majority of them
realize that they are deep in the hole,
victims of misplaced confidence. He
came here five or six years ago, and
worked more less in the paper mills and
for the Portland General Electric Com
pany. Always paid his obligations and
was prominent in fraternal circles. Last
winter he held a position at the state in
sane asylum, but early.in the spring re
turned here, and launched the scheme
to build an electric railway in the direc
tion of the Molalla country. He was re
ticent as to his plans, but let out the in
formation that relatives in the East were
to furnish him funds to puBh the pro
posed enterprise. The fact, that he
talked but little about the proposed rail
way line, helped his credit. He claimed
that he would have a remittance of ex
pense money soon, but his employes
were never made aware that he received
any. Everything was done on credit
office rent, furniture, supplies, etc.,
were charged up to the Oregon City,
Molalla and Southeastern Electric Rail
way, and it still remains on the debit
side of numerous ledgers. Not an em
ploye was paid as much as a 50 cent
piece; farmers, who boarded the survey
ors are also left. The Company's liabil
ties are possibly $2,000.

prove helpful to tired business men,
lawyers, and, in fact, to members of all
ages, occupations and tastes.

are given a free physical examination,
with authropametric chart.
It is pleasing to know so many young
men have joined the association during
the past few weeks, for, as a rule, men
who join the association during the
quiet season of the year are men who
appreciate its advantages and are willing
to enter into the true spirit of the orgtv
nization.

Oregon City Young Men's Christian AS'
sociation are open to any self-respecting
man of 16 years of age or over, without

These tickets entitle boys from 12 to 16
years of age to the free use of the asso
ciation privileges at set hours. In re
gard to payment of fees, see A. M. Gril
ley, general secretary.
Our men's gospel meetings are held
every Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in
the association building. The music will
be made a special feature. All men are
cordially invited to attend these meet
ings. Alyer Crowded Out.
Washington, July 20. Alger has
been crowded out at last. The system
atic manner of ignoring him as a cabinet
officer and secretary of war resulted in
his finally handing to the president the
resignation for which the people have
been so anxiously longing. The univer
sal demand of the members of the cab
inet that Alger get out has had its influ
ence, ar.d the cold shoulder he has re
ceived in the cabinet, together with the
fact that Corbin has taken everything
out of his hanlH in the war department,
made the poritit n untenable.
