Herding Cown Away From
Pound.
A cattle herder is actually doing busi
ness at the Abernethy bridge, where
the municipal boundary line separates
Oregon City from the grain fields and
pastured lanes beyond. His name ia Z -B.
Purcell, aged 69, and he has built a
little house where he will reside and
keep back country cows, who are seek
ing to get into the city pound. The Ab
ernethy and Parkplace lanes come to
gether at ibis point, and the cows for
the distance of two or three miles away
wander down to the Abernethy, making
Mr. Purceli's occupation a convenience
to the neighborhood. Mr. Purcell now
lias about 60 cows on his list, and for the
service of keeping these cows out of the
city pound he receives 25 cents per
month for a single cow, two cows be
longing to one owner 40 cents, while
more than that number are served at
the rate of 10 cents per head. He is the
father of Mrs. Lankins at Clackamas
Heights.

BOAR OF THE FILLS.
It would he convenient for many of
the young female members of Portland
families to have duplicate copies of prop
erly attested birth certificates. Al
most every week some Portland young
couple, who are anxious to secure a mar
riage license in Oregon Oity, have great
difficulty in finding a person to make
affidavit to the girl's age. These licenses
are usually enenmb re I with a request,
"Please not Puhlinh."
From the numbf r of Corvallis people
who are taking up their residence in
Oregon Oity, it would seem that the
population of that college town is de
creasing, or a new immigration is fill
ing their places. Thera are now 13 Cor
