His' remains were taken to Highland for burial on Thurs day. Mr. Jones was a mill man, and had a large "umber of close friends and acquaintances in Clackamas county.

In the spring' they will return to Washington, where they will rrake their home. The bride is quite a popular Clackamas county lady and has many friends. The groom has mining interests in Washington and British Columbia and is quite well-to-do. Thomas Crowley met with a piece of good fortune, last week. Forty-seven years ago his father gave him an old muzzle-loading riflle. Mr. Crowley was at that time a boy of ten. Just forty years ago he sold this old gun to a party in Cedar SpringB, this state. A few days ago Mr. Crowley was in a second hand store in this city when he found the gun that he had parted with, forty years ago. He immediately struck a bargain with the keeper of the second hand store, and bought the gun for fifty cants. A hundred times that amount would not buy the gun from him. The gun is of the cap and ball variety, such as was used In the middle part of the last century. The heavy rains of the past week have put many of the streams of Clackamas county out of their banks, and some of the smaller ones are little less than roaring mountain torrents. Reports from the vicinity of Clear Creek, the Molalla tiver, Milk Creek, and other streams in the eastern sectiou, state that they are very high.. "Water from the Willamette has backed up the Aber nathy and covered a good deal of the public road north of town. Whole acres of water cover much of the low ground along this creek, and parties who have come over the Abernathy road state that they were forced to ride five or six miles around in order to get into the town. The Willamette has also been and is yet very high, and a very few inches more of water will put it up over the street-car track, south of town.

Wilcox brought suit in the circuit court, Monday, through her at torney for a divorce tainst her husband, H. D. Wilcox, former city superintend ent of echoola in Oregon City. The charge is desertion. Mr. Wilcox re signed his position before the beginning of the term and shortly afterwards left the city. The plaintitT asks for $15 a month alimony for the support of the minor child. T. B. Wallace has brought suit in the circuit court against his wife, Martha A. Wallace, for a divo ce on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. The complaint states that the plaintiff was married to the defendant at Aurora, N. Y.. May 28, 1871, and that within a few days after marriage the defendant began and pursued a course of cruel and inhu man treatment, and heaped upon him intolerable abuse, which became more violent and frequent during the years tbey lived together; that defendant had a violeat temper which she could not control, and would heap personal indig nities which rendered plaintiff's life bur densome ; that the defendant insisted In having the title of all coAmunity prop erty in her name, and if he did not con suit her wishes, would abuse plaintiff. The complaint further alleges that in the spring of 1895 the defendant said to plaintiff in connection with other abuse that "the sweetest music to my ears would be to hear the clods drop on your coffin' and applied the foregoing to plaintiff ; that plaintiff was forced to leave defendant in July, 1895, and has since continued to live apart from ber WILL BE GREAT 8 A VIS. Paper Companies 1o Use Crude Oil for Fuel. The Willamette Pulp & Paper Com pany and the Crown Paper Company will in the near future ubb crude oil for fuel in their mills in Oregon City. Con tracts have already been made wHb a California oil company, and while the the mills havjB ben given until J904 to get ready, it is provable they will le able to use the new fuel by May 1,1903. The two paper companies consume 175 cords of wood a day, which means many thousand gallons of oil a day when the change takes place. The Pnnpr Comnanv will erect its storage tanks here, and its reser voirs will hold 400,000 gallons, giving the company a Biipply for Z'i months. It will be necessary to keep this large amount of oil on hand, owing to the low stage of water at the Clackamas rapids during certain months of the year. As the Willamette mills burn four times as much wood their tanks will be much larger, unless they piovide some means ofBhipping the oil by ra 1 during low water. It baa been stated that a steamer will be especially built to cany the 11 to the mills and will discharge the oil direct to the resrvoirs by means of a powerlul pump. Portland will likely le made the base of supply, and the oil company will , erect large tanks. The National Transportation Company will carry the oil from California on its ocean tank steamers and its representa tive is now in Portland looking for a bite. A Sew lioad Up the Bluff. On Wednesday evening of next week, BDRcial meeting of the city -council will be held for the purpose of consider-1 ing the advisibility of ordering the street commissioner to open the new road op the bluff in the south part oi the city. An ordinance exists covering this improvement, and all that is needed is action by th council. This matter of giving the southern part of the city a wagon road eastward has been thrashed over not a little, and not a lew property owners would be considerably benefited. It is said that whereas the Wnger hill grade Is nearly ten per cent, that of the proposed piece ot road would be about even. The estimated cost is about 13,000, of which citizens will directly contribute one-half. Spvinffivater. We regret to report that the measles have got into the neighborhood again.
