neighborhoods met at Warner Oiung"

ing a creamery. , George Lazelle was

committee to select a location for the
creamery and grounds ' The following

tion already drawn up.

City precincts. . ' ' 1 ' '
Oregon City's Notable Dead.
The death in this city at the ad'
vanced age of nearly 00 years of Judge
S. S. White serves to recall the eld days
wherein Oregon City was the legislative
and commercial center of Oregon Ter
ritory, and the goal of the weary immi
grant toiling with ox teams across what
was vaguely known as the Great Ameri
can Desert toward the sunset land. Full
of years and the honors of an upright
life. Judge White, has passed on to
join the silent majority of his erst-

field, are names that recall distinctly
the years when Oregon City was the
Mecca of the travel-soiled multitude
that sought homes in Oregon Territory.
There are other equally honored names
upon the pioneer roll, whose owners are
yet able to respond "aye" upon call i fa
miliar names against which "not yet
the fatal asterisk of death is set." But
most of those above enumerated have
long since been given to tablets or gran
ite or marble, set over lowly mounds in
the old cemetery on the hill above Ore
gon City. .Therej after life's fitful fever,
these honored men of an era heroic In
its very simplicity, sleep well. Repre
sentatives of a time that stands out in
memory strongly against the back
ground of the years, these names serve
to recall incidents that entered into the
structure of statehood, that our dear to
the heart of every pioneer, but which
belong to the unwritten history of "days
that were for a time but now are not."

The Commoner.
Mr. Bryan says: "I have for several
years had in contemplation the estab
lishment of a weekly newspaper and
this seems an opportune time foi under-
Intending todevot:) inv life to the
study and discussion of public questions,
I have chosen this method becauee it
will best accomplish the purpose, which .
I have in view. Through such a paper I
I shall be able to keep In touch with so '.
cial, economic and political problems.
The paper will at the same time if sue-1
cessful, provide an income sufficient for
my pecuniary needs and this kind of I
work will allow me more time with any i
family than I have oeon able to enjoy
for several years past, . ; . l; ,
I expect to lecture occasionally, especi
ally in college towns where I can speak
to students, but my principal work will
be done with the pen, or perhaps I
should say, with the pencil ;
The paper will be called The Com
moner and will defend the principles
set forth in the Kansas 01 ty platform.
The first issue will appear in January, I
shall be editor and publisher.

has the following items about Oregon
City people : N. Rasmussen, of Ore
gon City, has purchased the stock of
hardware owned by Thomas Hall, and
has taken possession of the same, and
is conducting the business at the old
stand. Besides carrying a full line of
hardware and tinware, Mr, RHsmuasen
expects in the spring to carry all kinds of
farm implements and machinery. It in
his intention to have a first-class, up-to
date, hardware store and farm imple
ment house, His prices will be the
same as those of Portland on the same
I goods. We are pleased to welcome Mr.
and Mrs. Rasmussen to our little city,
and hope they will meet with abundant
success in the business.
A. P. Macy and family arrived beie
the latter part of last week from Co
quille City, Southern Oregon, where
they have been residing for several years.
They were on their way to
Oregon City, where they will make
their home. Mr. Macy, with Dr. Moore,
his brother-in-law, with whom he had
been in the drug business at Coquille,
will open a drug store in Oregon City, on
the hill part of that city. Mr. Macy

LOCAL COMMENT.
The days of he mm who .makes a '
business of holding up stages, and the
person that ennngos extensively in kill
ing deer 'or the hides, passed
several years ago in ClickamaB county.'
However, from reports both occupations '
seem to be industriously followed
in Southern Oregon.
"-
. A Portland ' agricultural paper says
that "vigilance is the price of eggs."
Oregon City people did not have the op
portunities to take eggs from hen houses)
i but had to pay good prlcea for them at
'-the jrooery stores, , ', ' , ' -.ry,r'
year's mH f tJ.? ' '.!,
ernment showd that the expenditure .
far exceeded the receipts. The defioier"ys '
is approximately between $2500 aud.
$3000. Considerable money hasj-ft'11
expended on the streets, the tiri .mi
police departments ccst more than fo"
merly, Nearly $000 was oaid out of gen
eral fund on account of Hewer District
No. 2. The printing cost more than
usual, and there were leaks In various
directions. It is estimated that it cost
about $2040 more to ran the city during
1900, than it did in 1889, Of course, th
remainder of the sewer expense will
come oat of the district.
. It is not to the credit of Clackamas
county that her citlsens have never
made an attempt to secure free mail de
livery for any of the outlying precincts.
Marion county is going ahead in this re
spect, and Silverton is exhibiting Its
enterprise in the effort to have a free de-
livery system extended to a part of the
north end of the county.
Just at this stage of the game there
are but very few members ol the coming
legislature, who are disposed to discuss
the senatorial situation. They are
anxious to wait until the clans get to
gether at the state capltol.
Judge Lowell, of Pendleton, who re
cently gave a lecture before the Men's
Club here has declined the appoint
ment of place on the state text book
commission. It has been wlrisnered in
these parts, that has preferences for be-.
ing a senatorial dark horse.
The Belgian hare craze is dying out,
and the matter is getting down to a
straight business proposition. Several
Oregon promoters of the industry have
lost money in their ventures.
The residents of New Era, Mount
Pleasant, Canby and other convenient
neighborhoods are making the right
move to establish a profitable creamery.
More cows mean that more clover hay
will be produced, followed with an en
richment of worn-out soil. It will be
the beginning nf a better system of dU
versified farming.
Old People Made l'ouny.
J. O. Sherman, the veteran edif.r of
