THE OREGON
The New Year number of the Courier
Herald has already been the means of
several people from the East heading
towards Clackamas county. We could
cite many instane b similar to the fol-
lowing : A person in the East wrote to
C. O. Albright paying he had Been his
picturt in the New Year number and
that he was an old sefler and that if
things were as published the writer
would come out to Clackamas county.
Andrew Kocher, of Canby, received a
similar letter from a citizen of the frozen
East. Many complimentary letters in
regard to the edition have been received
We wish here to state that the business
men of Oregon City who did hot get in
the edition were unfortunate, as our so
licitor and compiler could not reach all
in the lim'ted time we had. It was not
intended as a slight to anyone and we
hope next year to begin earlier and give
everybody a personal mention in a still
better edition. Already several new
yiew j and scenes have been secured and
the second New Year number will con
tain an entire change of matter and pic
tures. At about seven o'clock Sunday morn
ing Contractor Smyth arrived On three
special cars with about a hundred hands
and at once proceeded to tear up Main
street from the end of the electric line
to the city limits on the south and began
the laying of rails. Before midnight
the line to the city limits was com
pleted so cars could be run. This action
was done to forestall a possible injunc
tion which was talked of. The Oregon
City & Southern Railway Company,
who have this franchise, are proceeding
on their way with the track to Canemah,
making the second action of the board of
commissioners boys' play. After grant
ing the franchise and accepting the ac
ceptance of the railway company, the
board revoked the tame, claiming they
didn't know "it was loaded," thus
making itsolf look absurd in the eyes of
intelligent people.' The railway com
pany would have built a new wagon
road over the hill for the franchise.
Now the county will be compelled .to
spend several thousand dollars for this
purpose. It is now the most dangerous
road for teams in the county, with tracks
on either Bide of the road for nearly a
mile and several crossings.

Mr. and Mrs. Alex Brown desire .to
thank their friends and neighbors who
so kindly assisted during their late sad
bereavement.
