He will take charge of the office immediately on the receipt of hie commission," Henry Meldrum is one of the beat known residents of Oregon City, having lived here since early childhood, and is popular among a large circle of friends. He was bom in Pacific county, Wash., then a part of Oregon Terrtory, his parents, Mr. . nd Mrs. John Meldrum, being prominent pioneers of 1845.

About 20 years ago Mr. Mel drum whs married to Miss La Forest, the daughter of another pioneer family.

The following is taken from the Sun day Oregonian, a.part ol an article writ ten in commemorutive review'of Mrs. Eckstorm's recently published bird books : "Fannie HarJy Eckstorm's two volumes, which a few weeks ago were iilaced in the hands of the American bird lovers, have aroused many pleasant recollections in the minds of her Oregon friends, stories illustrating the peculiarly strong and kindly lies of sympathies and human kinship that bound her to Oregon people. Her short stay in this state was not without a touch of romance and pathos. A little over eight years ago she came, a stranger to a strange laud. She was then Miss Hardy, the financee of the Iley. Jacob A. KckBtorm, of Chicago, who in the spring of '03 had accepted a call to St. Paul's church, Oregon City. As they could not be married before he went West, and as circumstances maim it impossible for him to return East for the wedding, she made the journey to him nl me across the continent from her Maine home, in me mi i oi iw. a lew Hours alter her ar rival they were married in Trinity church, Portland a dreary little wed ding with a cold church, two strange witnesses, a sirange bishop and a bride who nad lost all tier wedding hnerv in wandering trunk 1 One could have hrdly had a drearier btart for a beautiful and most happy marriage. It was surprising how warm a place Mr. and Mrs.Eckstorm immediately won in the regard of Ore. gen City people. The rector and his wife had as many friends outside of their chinch as within. The cordial good will as well as the respect and reverence or tue entire community was theirs. Ordinance Declaral Invalid. Cfty Recorder Curry Saturday after. noon decided adversely on the validity of the ordinance passed by the council in December, 1!00, granting F. S. Morris a franchise to run passenger and freight trolley cars on Main Btreet for 43 years. The giotind for the decision was that tho ordinance was read the first time at a regular meeting of the council and pasted at an adjourned session of the same meeting, Tho charter provides that an ordinance to be valid must be r a 1 at two separate meetings of the council, and the decision allinned the contention that a regular and an ail journed seshion are legally the same meeting. The matter was brought into the recorder's court by the arrest of Cieoige Adams, March L'O, charged with Violating a city ordinaiicj by running a train of freight cirs through Main street, t-entence was suspended pending the prer-ciitatiou of law points on the valid ity of the oidiiianc i.

Wisdom has just re ceived from the printer the state fair iiromlnm list lor 1901. Over (10,000 is offered for premiums on livestock and farm products, and is by far tho largest and best piemiom list olt'eied In this state.
