Tom F. Cowing, Jr., agent for the
Wells, Fargo & Co. in this city, has pur
chased a wagon for the delivery of the
company's packages, and is now giving
the city a better service than by the old
way of hiring a wagon, as it was not al
ways possible to secure the services of
one when required.
Sycamore district No. 15 has engaged
a second teacher Miss Nora Lambert.
This step was rendered necessary be-
cause of the rapidly increasing number
of j. upils. Both teachers will teach in
the same room for the preBent, but an
other room will soon be added .
Oregon Oity has been full of hobos for
the past two or three weeks. Night

ber and the city bastile has been full to
running over with these gentlemen of

years. He also often runs away from
home, and his family is unable to keep
him under proper restraint. He was
adjuged insane.
Yung, the heathen truck farmer, is
tying up his celery crop. It is indeed
odd that no one but this Chinaman can
find it profitable to employ several men

lation and that of Portland, Only a per
son dead in love with a labor will stick
to his job as a Mongolian does week
days or Sundays allee same, work allee

The Courier printed of its last issue
more than 2500 copies and sent out sever
hundred extras. Notwithstanding the
fact that we kept more than a hundred
copies in the office, so great was the de
mand that we have not a single copy
in our office of our last issue. Does this
not show that the Courier is the most
popular paper in Clackamas county ? Is
is not a line for advertisers to go by ?
The Courier has no complaint to make
however, as it has as much advertising
as it can conveniently carry.

The Margarita Fischer Company,
which closed a week's engagement at
Shively's opera house Saturday evening,
was quite the ' beat company that has
struck this city the present season
There was not a single bum perform
ance during the whole six nights.
While it is not likely that the engage
ment in this city was a financial suc
cess to the Fischer Company, as they
carried 22 people in their show and ex
penses must have taken up good part
of their earnings, the Bhows were very
well patronized, which shows that Ore
gon City people appreciate good ta!ent.
