One night, last wees., a peculiar acci
dent happened to Mrs. Ed Kellogg.
Having awakened in bed, she yawned.
She found that suddenly her jaws had
become rigid and to shut them was im
possible. A physician was hastily sent
ior.who wrenched the joint into its proper
position, at the cost of excruciating pain
to the woman, and made it. possible for
her to close her wide-open mouth, which
she had not been able to do for over
three hours.
One morning, in tLe latter part of laBt
wee-, before daylight had fully arrived,
a young man named Spray, from Port
land, carelessly or thoughtlessly stepped
into an opening of the upper floor of the
new mill of the Crown Paper Company,
and fell a distance of about 20 feet into
the flume beiow. Several ribs were
broken and he as otherwise bruised,
but was able to waik homeward. He
had worked but throe-fourths of a day.
Ed Califf, who arrived here from
Phoenix, Ariz., last week, with the re
mains of his wife, for th purpose of in
terring them in the city cemetery, re
turned Wednesday evening to his home
in the land of sunshine, where sweet po
tatoes grow a foot : long. A great event
in the country tributary to Phoenix, he
says, is a dam built by the national
government, 268 feet high, which will
create a lake 200 feet deep and 21 miles
long. This body of water will make
the irrigation of a large tract of country
an easy matter.
Thurston Yergen, a bopgrower of
Champoeg, passed through the city
Wednesday on his way to Portland. He
reports that 1 irge buyers, such as Li 1
lienthal, have "bulled" the price of hops
to 27 cents; that growers who still hold
their crop speculatively are watching
them, and that it is not certain the
p.ice will stay so bigh after the large
holders have unloaded. The hop mar
ket, he says, is curiouj thing, and he
is evidently right. The money made in
hops last year will result in the increase
of hop acreage this year.
Casper E. Weismandle, of Mack
hnra. was in Oreeon City on
Wednesdav on his way home from
Portland, where be had been for the last
week attending to matters of business
and visiting some old friends. Mr. W.
is an old-timer of Oregon, having located
in this county in 1869. He has one of
the best farms in the Macksbnrg coun
try, which ht is at present offering for
sale. When he sells his farm he will
become a citizen of Oregon City and
spend the evening of his life in ease and
comfort.

J. P. Lovett has decided to install a
25, ton ice plant in the old Charman
building between Third and Fourth
streets on Main. The industry is one
that Oregon City needs and ought to
have. The old plant was removed a few
years ago to make room for the woolen
mills and has never resumed operations.
The machinery was Btored in the Char
man block, and will be used by the new
plant in the manufacture of ice.
The receipts for the Oregon City post
ofBce for the year 1902 were $7,807.08.
This is an increase over the preceding
year. It is not unlikely that Oregon
City will attain to the dignity of a free
delivery office in a few years. If she
can show receipts to the amount of
$10,000 then she goes into the ree de
delivery class. With the expected im
migratbn from the east it is not unlike
ly that the $10,000 mark will be reached
this year, a thing to be very much de
sired. Clackamas Chapter, Royal Arch Ma
sons, gave a reception to the fraternity
and their wives at the Masonic hall las t
Monday evening. A benquet was served
and toasts were offered. J. H. Walker
was toastmaster for the occasion . Toasts
were offered by the following well-known
gentlemen: Col. Robert A. Miller. Rev.
P. K. Hammond, J. E. Hedges, Super
intendent J. U. Zinser, Judge T. F.
Ryan and F. T. Griffith. Mrs. Clark
Ganong and Miss Mary Conyers each
sang solos and responded to encores.
Mrs. E. E. Williams rendered a beauti
ful instrumental solo which was heart
ily encored. Altogether tha affair waB a
most successful and enjoyable one and
one that will long be remembered by
all who attended.
