He was the AN OLD LANDMARK AND A PROMINENT CITI ZEN OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY, As a Private Citizen and Public OlPcml lias Won High Place In the Affections of His Coun trymen and the General Public. C. W. Ganong. Grizzled and gray with the frosts'of many winters, rugged as a gnarled oak, honest as the days are long, is the sub ject of this Bketch, C. W. Ganong. Known to every child on the streets of Oregon City, loved by his host of friends and respected by all, he has won a place in the regard and affections of his fellow-men seldom reached by any man. Of him in this short sketch we write, because he has helped In no immaterial way in making the history of Clacka mas county. O. W. Ganong was bo:n in Toronto, Canada, in 1837, of American parents. His father was J. W. Uanong, a ship carpenter, who had left the states in that early day to work at bis trade on the northern waters. His father and mother were old' time residents of New York and Massachusetts, respectively, and traced their lineage back to first pio neers of the New England BtateB . They were "old-time," honest folks. While yet an infant in arms bis father moved back to the United States and settled in St. Louis, at that time only a thriving town on the west bank of the Mississippi . in that growing town of. tbf) great Southwest "Uncle Billy," aa hie friends call him most, spent twelve years of bis early life and attended school and not bis first rndiments of education. There by the rushing wa ters of the "great river" the, boy played and gathered his inspiration for the big battle of life. In 1852 the gold fever in California was at its flood, and the elder Ganong with his family decided to cast bis fortunes with the people of the golden state. With an ox-team and prairie schooner and a caravan of other fortu e hunters he de parted from St. Louis over the prairies and endless undulating hills and the great mountains of the Rockies and the Cascades for the Western World, then little known, but believed to be what it has Bince turned out to be an Eldorado of wealth for all of the sons of men "who toil and spin." It was then a long cry from the Mississippi to the "Golden Gate," and the Gitnong family were more than six months on the road, it was a long, tedious, hard drive, weari some to body and soul, but tne end came at last when the weary ox-team pulled up at tne village oi sacramento. En route the family suffered many pri vations, and the ruthless band of deatu was laid heavily upon them. At the sink of the Humboldt river.in the doting days of the month of August, after a and beast, the elder Ganong, the head bard and wearisome day s travel to man of the family and its guiding genius, was stricken with that most dread ot all diS' eases cholora. Doctors were bard to getand medicine was Bcarce, but the beBt could not stay the ravages of that mon ster which has ravished many lands and depopulated cities in every part of the eartn, and oeiore tne niiumgui uour iue Btrong fortune hunter had paid the last debt of nature, and the Ganoug family was orphaned in the heart ot tne wilds ot of the continent. The next day the body of the dead was peacefully laid to rest at the sink of the great river and there he sleeps to this good day and will sleep until the "quick and the dead" hall rise . The family arriving at Sacramento, immediately wept to work. The sub- iectof thi- Bketcn engaged as au ox- driver at $75 per month, and there the familv lived and prospered. Later tney moved to San Jose. In 1859 Mr. Ga llons secured a job that brought him northward, and he located at that early date on the waters of "the beautiful river" and has lived there from that time until this. In his early life, back in Missouri, he had learned the trade of blacksmith, and after he came to Ore gon he worked at his trade for a good, long number of years. ,i. r. Ganoner was married in 1860 to Miss Bettie Allen, a step-daughter oi William Barlow, of Barlow, this county Tj this union four childien were born, all of whom are vet living. Joe W. is the tecretary of the Portland Flouring Mills Co . in this city ; B. Clark, who is employed bj the Imperial Mills, in Ore gon City, Mrs. Anna Howard and Mrs. Tillie G. Miller. Mr. Ganong's married life has been singularly pleas ant, and be and his good wife are spend ing their green old age ?n the farm two mileB up the Willamette river irom ure eon City. In politics Mr. Ganong has always been a democrat. He has supported bis party in season Tind out of seasou lor ail thuua mitirg anil halif-vefl trxlnv. &R hft did when a bov. that all good things candidate of his party for sheriff in 1890, and while the county at that time was republican by 1000 majority, he was de-j feated by only 27 votes.' At the snc- ' ceeding election he was electei to that responsible otnee by the narrow marein of seven votes, and for two years whs the high sheriff of Clackamas county, and j discharged the duties of the office with j fidelity to his constituents and credit to himself. Mr. Ganong has been a devoted mem ber of the A. F. & A M. for more than thirty years. Mr. Ganong is now 65 years of' age, hale and hearty, Btrong of body and mind, a delightful companion and a good citizen, whom all who know him love to honor and respect. The Courier only hopes that he live many more years to pee the growth and develop ment of thie great part of the Willamette valley. CCRVALLIS TOUGHS. BREAK JAIL AND COME 1 0 OREGON CITY.' And Are Promptly Arrested By Chief of Police Burns. Chester Keady, Tommy Cameron and Ernest Stewart, of Oorvallis, were ar rested in Parkplace by Chief of Police Burns last Thursday night. The boys escaped trom the CorvailiB county jail a few davs previous and proceeded to this city. Chief Burns was notified that they were supposed to be in hiding here and made an investigotion, which revealed that they were at Parkplace, a suburb a mile north of this city. According to the CorvailiB Gazette George Fiek and a fellow student.named Camp, were returning from the basket ball game at the armory on the preced ing Friday evening. On their way home they stopped at Fisher's hall to look on at a dance which was then in progress. Here they found Keady and Lyons and a number of companions who endeav ored to force a row . The students started for borne and their tormentors followed. When near the Zierrlof reBi-j dence Keady and Lyons assaulted Fisk and Camp, knocking them off the walk and breaking a bone in Fisk's ankle. The court sentenced both culpritB to serve 40 days in jail without the alter native of a fine. They were placed in the main apartment of the city jail, as the Bteel ceil was occupied by a pris oner serving a sentence for drunken ness. Tuesday night the boys made their escape by removing bricks from the wall that stood between tbem at d liberty. Lyons was captured at Albany, Wednesday morning, and he related the following !story of the escape to the of fier9, together with the part taken by a number of accomplices . ' "While Tommy Cameron, Joe Day, Ernest Stuart anil Eddie Wilson shad owed the night officer to give the alarm when his rounds brought him past the' jail, Tommy Flett provided the prison ers with a steel bar which is part of the hook and ladder apparatus. With this implement, Keady and Lyons removed enough brick from the wall to permit tbem to escape. The crowd then con gregated at a point west of town, while Flett and Stewart went o Winegar's stable and hired a hack. They drove to a place of rendezvous, where Lyons, Keady and Day joined them, and the party went to Albany. Here all board ed the earlv morning freight for Port land, excepting Lyons. Ihe party reached Kichard Kiger's place about 1 :30 Wednesday morning, where he tried to induce a young fellow who is working for Mr. Kiger to join them. He refused to do bo and 'hey drove on. Warrants were issued for all the parties implicated in the escape and Keady, Stewart and Cameron were captured Friday afternoon in Oregon City. They were takeu to Corvalhs Saturday. Protracted Meeting. The protracted meeting at the Baptist church has been in progress since Sun day of this week. Dr. Daniel Shepard- son, D. D., one of the ablest divines on the coast, is doing the preaching. He is an able, sincere man of God, and his ser mons are powerful exponents of the re ligion of the Master's cause! The meet ings at both the afternoon and night service are being well attended, and the indications are that much good will be accomplished. The meeting is a uuion service of the Baptist, Congregational and Methodist churches. Simple Colds; Cease to be simple, if at all prolonged. The safest way is to put them aside at the very beginning.

Bill Much Work Ahead of , the Legis lature and the Mill Grind in Slotvly. Salem Oregon January 31 1003. The Oregon state legislature now in session resembles in many particulars the legislature in all other Btates. It is a clean, good looking active body of men. Men who are wide awake to the'interest of thie growing commonwealth and who want to do the best they know to ad vance the material interests of "Old Oregon." The Legislative session is limited to forty days and the boys have to huBtle if they get their "little bills" through the mill. The Senatorial "mix up" is far from beim; sohed at this date and for the present at least there is sure to be a "tie j up." On the surface the indication! are that Senator Fulton of Clatsops county will win the election ; but as yet ! he is far from victory, ine uemocrats are voting solidly for Woods, the Demo-, cratic nominee. Of course his election; is an imnossibilitv : but the Democratic ,' membeis are of the opinion that the . r . i .. ii. t . i time has come when Democratic legisla tors should vole for Democratic candi dates. Ex-GovernorGeer wboreceived 45,000 at the election last June and who Ib claiming that he is rightful nominee of the Republican partv does not seem to haye much chance of winning the fight. He commenced with 21 votes on Mon day and lost three on the next day. He does not seem to have much hold on the followers of the G? O. P. in this state. In fact he is spoken of as a "back number" and a "has been" and when the finish con.es will not be in the run ning. Senator Fulton the leading Republican candidate is a big fine look ing fellow with an open manly face th t attracts people to him. He must be about fifty years old, his face is smooth shaven and a good natured smile plays over biB features most of the time. His hair is tinged with grey and his general appearance and make up is impressive. He is a man of very considerable ability a good layer and a better debater who has won his spurs by many years of good hard work for his party. The final solution of the senatorial question ia not until Borne time next week or even later. All of the members from Clackamas county are now voting for Fulton. On the first ballot, Huntley and Webster voted for Geer, more as a eompliment tp the Hayes law. ihen for any real pur pose to elect the Governor. The vote in jointt session on Wednesday., the firs join ballot taken showed thecandidateat with the following votes : Fulton 31 Geer Wood Pittock George -Scattering -Absent - Total 18 17 5 4 11 4 90 The Multnomrh delegation with its 17 members is flirting aronnd and have not yet settled on any body or any thing. Which ever way they go in the end will likelv settle the fight. Seventeen voters in a bunch is a pretty big thing to thiow in one direction. The Le-vis and Ciark Worlds Fair bill appropriating $500,000,00 tor that great exposition m lauo nas Deen pasHeu in each house and will In a very shor time ea law. The sentiment in its favor was almost unanimous in both house and Senate. There were only nve votes cast against the measure in the house and three in the Senate. The passage of the bill at this early date is a good thing and assures the holding of the Fair in 1905 and makes its successa certainty, On all hands vou hear words for the new Democratic Governor Chamberlain. He is all right and is making a most ex cellent impression on all who meet him. His message was a strong document and is being warmly commended. It ia pre dicted that he will make one of the best got ernors the atate has ever had. Among tne pruuiiueuiuiuaveuo ui uio gon City noticed in the state capital was KberiH, John b. snaver. mayor uram B. Dimick, Hon. A. 8. Dresser, Hon. Frank F. Griffith. These people were on various missions, some Bumming to political duties and some attending to business matters. The Hon. George O. Brownell ia pre siding over the deliberations of the Senate with becoming dignity ana ib as suave and courteous and aa extremely nnlite in the President's chair as be is at home and out on the hustings in Clack amas county. 1 ha lobby at ISa em has not yet gotten in its work. The uentlemen with jobi are yet in the back ground waiting to do their work when the time comes. Lob bies are the same the world o"er and wi en you have seen one you have seen "all of the show." While in Salem it was our pleasure to visit the Insane asylum and to be shown throuirh all of its departments, It is a credit to the atate, and ia as clean and well kept as any similar institution in the country. There are 1280 inmates confined within its walls All of them cared for with scrupulous fidelity, and everything connected with the asylum is apparently in the best of condition. There is only one asylum for the insane in the state of Oregon, and the expenses of conveying patients from Lantern Ur uon to the asylum at Salem is very great. The otnitentiary was also visited and extreme courtesy. was ahown to the vis itors by the warden and prison officials There is more than a passing interest attached to the Oregon penitentiary on account of the history of Tracy and his remarkable escape from that Institution 'and subsequent career as a fugitive from justice. There are 302 convicts in be penitentiary As a rule they are a high grade of prisoners, many men be ing in prison from the upper walks of life. The Country between Oregon City and Salem is beautiful in the extreme. It is extremely rich and much of it in the highest state of cultivation While in the capital city the writer had the pleasure of being admitted to the bar of the state of Oregon and meet ing one of his old pchoo boy-, John B. Diminlr vhe ia RtnHvino' law nn1 will ' shortly be admitted to the bar. It hps i been eighteen long years since we bad last met but the school boy recognized hie old teacher at a glance. To those who love to stmlv the hurley hurley of politics the capital of the state is a very interssting pla e just now nd we will tell you more of it from week to week. 4 John H . Webtov er.
