Mr. and Mr. Frank Winalow have

School is progressing nicely, but the
new bell we have heard eo much about
seems slow in coming.
We notice that New York now has a
law prohibiting the use of parlor matches
nd forbidding the same to be made.
We are anyious lest if this law is rigidly
enforced the state will become over
stocked with old maids and bachelors,
as the kind of match is not mentioned
whether just wood or pure flesh and
bone matdbee. ,
Indications are that the majority of
the citizens ol Oregon made a great mis

The walking sick, what
a crowd of them there are
Persons who are thin and
weak but not sick enough
to go to bed.
"Chronic cases" that's
what the doctors call them,
which in common English
means long sickness.
To stop the continued
loss of flesh they need
Scott's Emujsion. For the
feeling of weakness they
need Scott's Emulsion.
It makes new flesh and
gives new life to the weak
system.
Scott's Emulsion gets
thin and weak persons out
of the rut. It makes new,
rich blood, strengthens the
nerves and gives appetite
for ordinary food.
Scott's Emulsion can be
taken as long as sickness
lasts and do good all the
lime.
There's new
and flesh in every dose.
Mr. Wiles conducted the Thanksgiving
ceremonies and they seemed like pioneer

The friends of B. Coales are much
alarmed about him, as he has every in

He has been spending a great deal of
time lately on an invention to protect
ladies' dress waists and at the same
time to keep young men's arms from
getting out of place.
It's a shame to see two young men out

Meeting of City Council,
The Oregon City & Suburban Rail
way was granted a franchise at the meet
ing of the city council Wednesday nigbt
to run its lines through the . streets of
Oregon City. The streets over which
the new line will run are: Washington,
Fourteenth, Center, Twelfth and Water
streets. They were also given privilege
ol erecting telephone and telegraph lines
along the route.
The ordinance passed by the council
requires said company to file written ac
ception within thirty days of this date,
and to deposit cash or bonds .to the
amount of five hundred dollars, which
will be forfeited to the city if work on
the line is not begun within one year
and work continued until road if com
pleted, which must not Le later than
January 1, 1904.
This new line may mean a great dal
to the people in the eastern part of
Clackamas county, as it is proposed to
run the line through the rich farming
lands in that section and have as it east
ern terminal some important point near
the base of Mt. Hood. Later, it is not
improbable that the road will be ex
tended southward through the county
and onward through Silverton and to
the state capital.
Hon. C. D. Latourette, of this city, is
the prime mover in the enterprise, and
has spent a considerable part of bis time
in 8eattle and San ' rancisco during the
past few months interesting capitalists
in those cities.
The road must pay a license to the
city of two hundred dollars per annum
fo- a period of five years.
It is expected that work will be begun
in a short time and pushed to its com
pletion. The committee on streets and public
improvements were requested to lepair
Molalla avenue, usinn crushed Btone or
auv other material needful.
The v te of .the town election, which
was held on Monday, was canvassed and
found to be correct as first reported, the
figures of which are given elsewhere.
The St. Paul vestry was granted per
mission to extend sidewalk near tlieir
edifice and remove curbing.
City rtcorder was instructed to invite
bids for city printing. Bids to be filed
by next meeting of council.
The newlv-elected couucilmen will
qualify at the next meeting of the huard
in Jauuary!
