SPRAY OF THE FALLS.
Matters of special importance will
come up at the meeting of the Board ot
Trade to b held in the county court
room this (Friday) evening. A definite
conclusion will likely be reached as to
what county mad is to- he improved
through special efforts of the board. It
also is a matter of great import as to the
proper advertising of the county's re
sources, in order that Clackamas cninty
shall receive her q'lota of Eastern immi
gration. There should be a full attend
ance of the members at this meeting, ai
the time is now opportune fur prompt,
ettect've work.
It is to be regretted that there are no
means whereby William Wilson could
secure recourse for the injuries sustained
by being ejected from the train bv a
brakeman. It matters not what hii
habits of life may have been, his condi
tion is to be pitied inasmuch as he is a
permanent cripple. As such he is unable
to rustle for himself and becomes a bur
den on the county.
There was no foundation, in fact, for
the published rumors that P. D. Curran
and A. Fredericks were in any way re
sponsible for the so-called valeutinei
sent to several parties at Ely, except the
imagination of gossipers, and thu stories
lost nothing In their repetition. The
United States grand j lrj, through In
vestigation, further dispelled any foua.
dation that there might have been for
mixing up the names of reputable citi
zens, who are far above any action of
that kind None of the friends of Cur
ran and Fredericks believed them capa
ble of such an act. The blame rests on
the overt acts of those who delight to
ma'e their neighbars guilty of some
thing criminal.
The two Vancouver bankers who com
mitted suicide when the bank examiner
ordered them to close up business, lived
such a short distance from Oregon City
as to make the incident one of local in
terest The incident, is n unusual one,
for buikers are usually classed as strong
mind id indit iduals, who still hold up
their heads: when struck by adversity.
Attention is called to the suggestion
of Mlas McOarver 111 another column in
reference lo protecting certain song
' birds f he nolice is timely and worthy
of every c iiisideralioii.
Tnere are still a few people who never
will learn that the so-called local matter
in the Oregon City editio 1 01 the Eve
ning Telegram, is not read anywhere
else except by a limited few here. And
yet they have tha cheek to get some
free advertising iu that slnet, and then
want the local papers to copy it. It is a
fact that either of the local papers has
five times the circulation in the oity of
that paper.to say nothing of the cor 11 try
circuntion.
