OREGON CITY COURIER FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1002.
AMONG THE CANBYITES.
RECENT DOINGS OF THE
DENIZENS
In lhat Thriving Neighborhood,
We recently spent a very pleasant time
mingling with the people of the thriving
little city of Canby. Canby is only ten
miles to the south on the Southern
Pacific Railroad and is in one of the
raoBt beautiful parts of the county.
The broad, level farms about the village
sweeping away to the Willamette on
the weet and to the Molalla on the south
and east, whereon are situated the com
modious and comfortable homes of the
rural population, are monuments to the
country's prosperity.
We made the acquaintance of Mr.
Rosekrans, of the firm of Carlton &
Rosekrans, and found him to be a very
pleasant gentleman indeed. The firm
of Carlton & Rosekrans is one of ti e
largest country firms in the ccunty and
the store would do credit to a town much
larger than the town of Canby.
Mr. Andrew Kocher is the .leading
hardware man and is doing a big busi
ness. There are a number of Bmaller
store engaged in different lines of
business. The town boasts of three
aotels, all first-class in every respect.
3ne barber shop, run by Tom Shockley,
;nanages to take care of all the trade.
There are two churches, half a dozen,
secret societies ard one school which
employs three teachers.
The Southern Pacific steam shovel
crew is working in the gravel pit and a
considerable force of men are employe'',
A little girl baby came to the home of
the new minister last week. l!olh
.nother and babe are doing well under
the care of Dr, D-'adman.
The Canby lodge, I. 0. 0. F., will
visit the Aurora lodge next Thursday
evening in a body and every member is
requested to be present. The boys are
looking to have a good time.'
The Degree of Honor held a very en
joyable entertainment in their lodgeroom
iast Saturday evening. Quite a large
crowd of the boys were present from
lurora. bupptr was seived and a
general g"od time was enjoyed by all
present.
A new sidewalk has been ordered built
by the city council in front of Zollnei's
hitching shed. The recent rains have
caused it to get very muddy there and
others places in the streets of Canby.
A citizen's meeting' has .been called
for November 10, to place in nomination
our counciluien for two years and a
;ity treasurer, to be voted for on the
drat Monday in December.
Tom Shockley, our clever barber, was
t visitor to Portland the first of the week.
Messrs Rosekrans. & Carlton were
visitors to Portland this week.
Mr. D. E. Roth will leave in a few
vveeks for California wlrere he expects to
spend the winter.
There will be a turkey and duck shoot
ing match here on the day before
Thanksgiving. II, A. Yorpahl !b the
manager. A big crowd is expected to
rF0VCFbS
"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them Scott's Emul
sion. It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there' is something
astonishing about it.
Scott's Emulsion is simply
. milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hy; i phosphites
especially prepared for delicate
itomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children Scott's Emulsion
s the most satisfactory treat
ment. We will send you
the penny, . e., a
sample free.
Pe sure that tltis picture in
ttie It'nn of a luliel is on tlie
wrapper ot every bottle ot
KmuLion you buy.

attend the shooting ai.d a right merry
time is looked for.
The high wind Sunday night was said
bymanvtohave been the worst wind
storm that has visited this section in
number of years. No mateVial damage
was done, however.
Some one met with a bad runaway ac
citlent in Canby last Saturday. The
buggy which was attached to the run
away horse was smashed but the oc
cupant was uninjured. No one se.'med
to know who the party was.
George Knight, our local potato man,
has made a very large purchase of
potatoes and apples this year, which he
ib holding for a rake in prices. J. D.
Stalnaker, who is buying for Hearst, of
Aurora, has also made a yery large
purchase.
The people of this urban village will
shortly be reading the Courier by the
reflection of electric lights. The wires
have already been' placed and only a
little more work needs to be done until
the plant will be in full operation. The
power is generated at Auiora and lights
thirty candle power, cost $1 per month
each . Canby is fast taking on city airs.
Rev. McPherson filled his regular ap
pointment at the Methodist church Sun
day, preaching to a large and attentive
audience.
Prof. Winches and wife, who have
charge of the Canby Bchool, are making
it a great success. The primary depart
ment is being taught by Miss Vea
Knight and she is spokeu of very highly
by the patrons.
Miss Annie Ruth, who was a trained
nurse with Uncle Sam's army in the
Phillippiues and China, brought lack
with her many interesting relics of
those faraway countries. Among othtr
things were bolos of various makes and
styles, a Chinese sword and a carbine,
picked up on the Boxer battlefield.
MiBB Roth can relate many interesting
reminiscenses of her trip to the Orient
which are highly interesting, and her
stories of the bloody days, when the
Boxers were terrorizing both China and 1
the civilized world with their deeds of
violence will not likely be soon fvrgotien.

GEORGE C. BROWNELL
Will Be President of the Oregon
Senate.
Honors voming Miyrit Along for
the Oregon City Statesman,
It seems now to be almost a certainty
that George C. Brownell will be elected
Preaident of the Oregon Senate which
convenes at Saler. in January. Both
Senators Mitchell and Simon have de
clared for Brownell for the place and
that seems to settle the matter for g iod
and all. Mr. Brownell just at the pres
ent time is the most prominent figure in
Clackamas county politics. He will en
ter upon his third term as Senator from
this county the first of January. Mr.
Brownell is an ardent republican and
doubts very much whether a democrat
will get to heaven. At least all of the
front seats will be reserved for the Re-

publican cohorts. Aside from his poli
t ci, whicl: Hie ibout as bad as ih.y
well could he, from a Democratic stand
point, the Hon. Brownell is a pleasant
and genial gentleman and one whom it
is a pleasu e to meet. We are glad to see
him win this fight as it means that
honors come to our republican townsmar.
GtorgeC. Brownell came to Oregon
City from Kansas twelve years ago. He
has been in the Senate at Salem eyer
since. He preempted a seat in the, Sen
ate at the same time that he opened a law
office in Oregon City and has held on to
his Senatorial toga as tightly as he has
held down his law practice. Mr. Brow
nell learned to be a politician in Kan
sas. There politics and grasshoppers
are indigenous to the soil. There are
very U w things in the political game
that he don't know. A good stumper, an
excellent organizer a smooth mixer he
has kept the boys in Clackamas guessing
for about a dozen years and if" them "fel
lows down at Salem this winter leave
the senatorial toga lying around loose
over night Hon. George Biownell'will
walk off with it, sure as "gun is iron."
Well it is no fight of "ourn," and we
don't intend to loose any sleep about
the matter or pull "anybody's hair; but
we wish the honorable Clackamas
county senatorf would jet something
that would suit him and keep him out
of politics in this county for a year or
l,wa. We are going to have a right in
teresting local "scrap" heie politically
in about twenty months. Stranger
things have happened than that old
Clackamas might swing back to her
early traditions;Jand elect a Democratic
ticket from top to bottom or as we used to
say in Kentucky fiom "eend to cenri."
In the meantime we wish our neighbor
goodluck and a good time and may lij be
able to get away with a goodly portion
of the "loaves and fishes." The best
we Democrats can do is to stand off and
look on. The pie counter is not for us
yet awhile. There is an old saying down
South however that we believe applies
in this case "Every dog has his days,"
and we think it is about our turn at the
bat.
Crnelljr Crushed.
William Bliss when president of the
Boston and Albany railroad was once
called before the railroad committee of
the Massachusetts legislature to testi
fy on trutllc mutters, and a young
member who was serving his first
term undertook to examine him.
"I want you to tell me how much it
costs to haul a freight car from Boston
to Springfield," said the member.
"I don't know," replied Mr. Bliss.
"You don't know?"
"That was the answer I gave."
"What are you, anyway?"
"President"
"Of what?"
"The Boston and Albany railroad."
"Well, sir," began the legislator In
rising voice, "If you are William Bliss,
president of the Boston and Albany
railroad, nud you don't know what it
costs to haul freight from Boston to
Springfield, who hi the name of heav
en does know?"
"No one that I know unless It Is a
member of the Massachusetts legisla
ture who Is serving his first term."
Another member continued the ex
amination. His Life in Peril.
"I just'eemed to have gone all to
pieces " writes Alfred Bee, of Welfare,
Tex., "biliousness and a lame back
had made life a burden. I couklu't eat
or sleep and felt almost too woru out to
ork w hen I began to use Electric Bit
ters, but they worked wonders. Now I
sleep like a ton, can eat anything, have
gained in strength and enjoy hard

" Love lightens
labor," the say
ing runs, and in a sense it
is true. But even love
cannot lighten labor or
make it easy for the wom
an who is in constant suf
fering from inflammation,
bearing - down pains or
other womanly diseases.
The one thing that can
make work easy for wom
en is sound health, and
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription is the thing that
will give sound health
to sick women. It cures
womanly diseases which
cause weakness, and cures
the backache, sideache, nervousness and
other ills which are the result of woman
ly diseases.
"I suffered from female weakness for five
months," writes Miss Belle Hearicb, of Nye,
Putnam Co., W. Va. "I was treated by a good
physician but he never seemed to do me any
good, I wrote to Dr. R. V, Pierce for advice,
which I received, telling me to take his ' Favor
ite Prescription ' and ' Golden Medical Discov
ery.' When I had used the medicines a mouth,
my health was much improved. It has contin
ued to improve until now I can work at almost
all kinds of housework. 1 had scarcely any
appetite, but it is all right now. Have gained
everal pounds in weight. Dr. Pierce's medi
cines have done wonderfully well here. I
would advise all who suffer from chronic dis
eases to write to Dr. Pierce."
"Favorite Prescription ".makes weak
women strong, sick women well. Ac
cept no substitute for the medicine
which works wonders for weak women.

The Best Remedy for Croup.
From the Atchinson, Kan., Daily Globe.
This is the season w hen the woman
who knows the beet remedies for croup
is in demands in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle of
the night by a whoop from one of
the children. The croup remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case of
croup, as a revolver is sure to he lost in
case of burglars. There used to be an
oklfashioned remedy for croup, known
as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's Cougn
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. It causes the patient to "throw
up the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief
iu a shorter time, Give this remedy as
soon as the croupy cough appears and
it will prevent the attack. It never
f alls and is pleasant and safe "to take.
