The registering of voters in Clacka

voter must know that it is impossible to
cast his ballot, unless he registers. It

tioned at or before the coming election

Deputy Fish Commissioner, M, F. Mc
Cown, who has been patrolling the Wil
lamette an'd Clackamas rivers for the
past week, seized a fish net opposite Os
wego Friday night. The owner of thJ
net is not known, but it is evident th it
an attempt was' being made to violate
the close eeason for the first time this
year. A close watch is being maintain
ed. It is a pleasing fact to note that the
friction existing between certain mem
bers of the G. A. R. of Oregon City and
vicinity, has been pacified by the recent
visit of Ccmmander H. V. Gates, of
ilillsboro. The proposed new post has
become a thing of the past and it is
probable that many of the veterans
whose names were on the charter list
of the new organization, will now be
come member of the old post.

held at Macksburg last Saturday. Ad
dresses were made by Professor Shirley
Buck and Justice C. N. Wait, of Oanby.
There was a large attendance of people,
and the greatest of enthusiasm pre
vailed. At the close a campaign reform
club was organized. '
The land office receivership at Oregoc
City goes begging. Judge Galloway's
time is out, and being a democrat of the
strictest sect, it seems that some repub
lican ought to apply for the place, or has
prosperity hit the district so hard that
no one is willing to accept a saUry of
$3000 a year? McMknville Campaign.
Henry Thiessnn, Colonel Robert A.
Miller and Gilbert Hedges spoke at a
meeting of the reform foreei, held
at Molalla last Saturday. Much enthu
siasm prevailed and a good number of
people were out. The Oregon City
edition of the Telegram insinuated that
it was a democratic meeting, which
might be expected.
It was reported to this office that W.
S. D'Ren and Lieutenant J. U. Camp
bell drove out to Molalla together last
Saturday. No credit is given to the re
port, as this paper docs not believe that
Mr. Campbell, who is secretary of the
republican county central commistee,
would be sean in company with U'Ren.
It is evidently an attempt to slander
Mr. Campbell's reputation.
Union Veterans Union No. 1, is mak
iner an attempt to learn ot the burial
place of every dead soldier in Clacka
mas county. As soon as this can be
done, arrangements have been planned
to place a metallic framework at the
head of each grave, surmounted by
flag. Where a headstone has already
been planted, the ornamental frame
work will surmount it. However,
other cases, it will be planted at the
head of the grave. The metallic frame
work is of handsome design and snr
mounted by a small flag, and will be fit
ting memorials to the lust resting places
of many dead heroes.
The following order was made by the
county judge ; In the matter of the

At the meeting of the prune growers
of Oregon, held in Portland Friday, a
permanent organization waa effected
The future -status of the organization
will be determined upon the effort to

William Galloway, of Oregon City, was
elected president, the other officers
being distributed over Oie state. As
the result of this meeting, the Cured
Fruit Association of the Northwest was
organized with 15 directors. Tho prune
growers are following the plan adopted
by the California raisin growers, who
have proved its success.
The 1 8 1 issue of the Native Son con
tains some interesting reminiscent sto
ries of Uncle Dave O'Neill, a former
well-known steamboat man, who now
tesides at Mount Pleasant. He Bays, in
part : "Navigation in the days of '4 on
the Columbia and Willamette rivers was
not only tedious, but a somewhat diffi
cult and dangerous undertaking. Steam
boats were not in fashion, and as rpads
were not yet opened up for heavy wagon
traffic, the only means of trans porting
goods and heavier articles from place to
place or the rivers was by open boat and
man power. For this purpose, bateaux
belonging to the Hudson Bay Company
were brought into service. They had a
carrying capacity of about five tons, and
their speed was regulated according to
the way the wind blew and the strength
of muscle their Indian crews put forth
at the oars each craft being supplied
with a crew of six redskins."
The county board of commissioners
made' the following order in the matter
of the proposed road leading to the
south end of the county : Now comes
certain committees before the court,
representing the merchants and busi
ness men of Oregon City and the tax
payer tf Logan, and a;-k the court to
appoint a competent person to examine
and report at the next term, the prob
able cost of a permanent improvement
of the Clackamas toll road, and the road
from tho hatchery bridge to Logan, and
the road from Haid bridge to Burg-
hardt'e mill and it appearing that
there is a great deal of interest mani
fested in the improvement of said roads,
and that large private subscriptions are
being raised to aid in said improvement,
and the court being fully advised, it is
rdered that W. H. Counsell be author
ized and directed to make a suitable ex
amination of said roads and report the
probable cost of a permanent improve
ment of said thoroughfares to the next
term of court.
The County board of commissioners
did a big lot of road business at the last
session. Road improvement has struck
the people of Clackamaa county as the
proper thing, and the board waa fairly
deluged with petitions for aid. One
thing very noticeable is the fact that the
people of each section are willing and
anxious to bear their share of the bur
dens. The petition and subscription list
from road district No. 16 waa granted,
In district No. 9, the supervisor was per-
mittedtouse $00 of bis funds on the
Pauly road. The petition of G. A. Arndt
and others for a county roa 1 near Bar
low waa considered favorably, and Ed
Schmidt, Charles Wilson and A, Bremer
were appointed viewers. P. A. Baker
resigned as supervisor of road district
No. 31, and Samuel Meyer was appoint
ed to fill the vacancy. The Larkins road
is te be improved, the petitioners doing
the work and the county furnishing the
powder. The fund due the Highland
and Canyon Creek districts is to be used
in Improving a road for petitioners, who
are to donate labor. The county will
furnish the corduroy and the petitioners
will do the work on the Forsythe road.
A change in the Milk Creek road was
granted.

The following memorial resolutions
were recently passed by Springwate'
Giange:
That, through tho death of our re spected
sister, Mrs. 'Lenora E. Lacey.
this Grange extends our sympathy ti
her family and relatives and the Char
terolthis Grange thall.be draped in
mourning.
She died at her horns in Springwate r ,
March 1, 1900. She was born in Swan
sea, Wales, AUjj. 17, 1829- being in Lei
71st birthday, and came to America
when she was eight years old, and set
tled in New York whe.e she was mar
ried to Lewis A. Lacey, April 17th ,1851 ,
and at once Btarted to Oregon and ar
rived and settled on the donation claim,
on Sept. 22, 1842.
Mrs. Lacey was forinsrly a member of
the Christian church and a member ol
the Oregon City Chapter of the Eastern
Star and also a charter member 01
Springwater Grange.
Three children survive her. Her son
Albert lives on the old farm at Spring
water, and Mrs. Helen E Iminston and
Mrs. Anna Fulsomlivein Washington.
Her husband died on the 5th of last
Nov. and S'ster Lacey never recovered
her usual health after he passsed away.
Rev. Sopei conducted the funeral ser
vices at the house, and at the grave the
ceremonies were under the nun pices of
the Springwater Grange, of which she
had long been an active and honored
member.
Sister Lacey waa a woman of strong
mental endowment, great discernment,
and rare tact, a tender mother and faith
!il to her friends. The work of her life
may be expressed in one short sentence,
'She hath done what she could." No
higher encomium can bo bestowed, and
the Grauge feels with her family that
her loss is irreparable,
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the dream of life is fiod,
Then again with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tear ia shed.
Weep not that her toils are over,
Weep not that her race is run,
God grant we may rust as calmly
When our work like hers is done.
