J 7 V- OREGON CITY COURIER-HERALD. JUNE 29, 1900. GRAND CLEARANCE SALE OF MILLINERY Miss C. Goldsmith oilers all Hats Trimmed, Untrimmed, Flowers, Etc., at a Great Reduction. This Sale Lasts 30 Days. CLACKAMAS COUNTY NEWS CANBY. E. I. Sals made . a business trip to Portland Wednesday. A girl baby was born to Mr. and Mrs. Joe hull last- Monday, Both are doing well. . Miss Ethel Terry is home from her duties at Si. Helen's Hall, Portland. Charles Armsttong is building a new barn on bis property lately purchased from Mrs. Mjers. Mr. Fisher has a large . force of men loading cars in the gravel pit, l!ror20 cars leaving this station every day. Mr and Mrs. D. Gnrley are visiting friends in this city this week. The picnic given by he United Arti sans in Wait s grove on the ZJd was a grand success a large crowd and a good time enjoyed by all Miss Est'ier J. Clayson, who has been visiting friends in Csnby for the past week, returned to her home last Sunday evening. Volney Mack was found dead on the back porch at his home lust Friday afternoon. The supposition is that lie slipped and fell, striking tiis head on the porch, cagBing instant death. Mrs. L. Rogers and Mrs. Hosenkrans went to Portland Thursday morning on a little pleasure trip. Mrs. II. W. Evans will move to Wash ington the first of next week to join her husband, who has work there in the lumber woods. Our town is almost inundated by the prosperity wave. I think it. is caused by tlie increase in the circulating medium brought here by republican strikers dur ing pre-election days. Ballast for the Southern Pucilic road bed near Woodlmrn is being taken from the Canby gravel pit. Miss Margaret Gutlridge has been elected principal of the Canby school. Miss Mullen and Miss Vesta Knight will be the assistants. The Riverside school will be taught by Gilbert Noe and the Mundorf school by H Stalnnker. These two schools should be united with the Canby school. Bagby Bros., of Molalla, have begun delivering the 10,000 tiou which they have contracted to the Southern Paciiic. The distance these ties ate hauled is about 10 miles. Farmers living here have learned that the axles of the famous X Y Z mower must be oiled frequently when the ma chine is not in use. One man who neg lected this duty found that the drive wheels would not turn when he wanted them to They had rusted tight to the ax'e. At last, by a mighty effort, they were turned ; but, alas I a 10 cent extra, which costs about $1.25, was broken. And 'it was all the farmer's fault, be cause the agent told him it was. Several important real estate transfers have been made recently. The crop of railroad wood harvested last winter is now being marketed, so wood hauling is the order of the day. People living six miles from town who were able to make a living and pay their taxes before the gulden age of trust lule and imperialism are now compelled to resort to wood cutting under serious dis advantages or fall behind in their ac counts. I don't like to see "Corporal" lay down bis pen. He has delivered eome telling shots the one at coolie labor, for instance. . The editor of the Borealis points out the path of consistency to clergymen and urges them to follow it and criticises them who do not, I suggest that the Borealis man take a double dose of his own prescription. The camp meeting crop is good this season, the acreage exceeding that of all former years. The thing to do now is to form a trust on such institutions to con trol the distribution ol religion. Indeed, the initial step has been taken by the Uan by Uampmeeting Association (Meth odist) and the New Era Association (Spiritualist). In each case an admis sion fee of 10 cents is charged. It does not seem to me that an entrance fee is in harmony with the "without-money-and-witliout-price" doctrine, but un doubtedly it is all clear enough to theo logians. Some one has said that England se cures tenitory Vy first sending a mis sionary to look after the ratives, next a consul to look after the missionary, and next an army to look, after the consul. It seems to be our way in the Chinese affair. It has been the policy of Chautauqua's founders and local ollicers to make and keep the assemblies non-political ; but, since precedent now counts for nothing, it is possible that the "scintillating stars" which are to be present this year will try to shed then' effulgence over im perialism and its chief prophet. RURAL DELL. - The wet weather is working a hard ship on farmers who have hay down. Road Supervisor B. F. Smith and Dick Garret were blasting stumps out of our roads last Friday.

The bctys smiled. SHUBEL. More rain, and more worry for farm ers who have hay in the field.as it is rot ting. Oats is benefitted by the rain, but fall wheat is very rusty. CHAMPION BINDER 1 ! ..
