Foresters
Attention
The order of Foresters has contracted with
Howell & Jcnes, the prescription specialists, to
furnish all drugs and medicines and to prepare
all prescriptions for members of that order,
This enterprising drug firm makes a specialty of this work
and has built up the largest prescription trade in Clack
amas county. They treat their customers right, and al
ways give them just what they want. If a sufferer
wants "Hood's" Sarsaparilla, he gets "Hood's," and is
not importuned to take something "just as good." They
attribute their immense trade to buying and selling only
the highest grade of drugs and medicines that can be had.
Maybe first grade drugs would just barely cure, and second
grade drugs prove just a trifle too weak.- Life sometimes
hang by a hair, and that hair may be the quality of a sin
gle drug. In the tilling of prescriptions they use only the
highest grade drugs, regardless of cost :: :; ::

Miss Veda Williams, of this city, and
little Miss Marion Lawrence, of Port

Several trains on the Southern Pacific
were delayed from twenty-four to forty
eight hours on their trip north on ac
count of the high water in the Willam
ette valley the first of the week. Over
lands were tied up at various places in
southern part of the state Sunday morn
ing, and Pdtne of them did not get
through till Monday noon. The last
stalled train got through about noon
Tuesday. Sunday night's overland for
the south was run in two sections on ac
count of the heavy travel.
Now is the time for the city to clean up
and take on an attractive air, With the
coming of 'spring and the cheap rates
from the East, there will be thousand of
people coming into the state from that
section ou almost every overland train
The great majority of them will be dump

Several years ago there was promised
the public of Oregon City a series of
lectures, which were remarkably well
patronized so far as the promises could
be fulfilled. But the most attractive
numbers of the eourse never appeared
Some persons have been associating that
course ot entertainments with the uon
gregational church, because the lectures
were given there. The Saturday Uluu
hereby announces that any persons se
curing 'course tickets for Dr. House's
lectures will have their money returned
if the entertainment ai announced will
not be given. The course will open Dext
Tuesday evening with "Quo Vadis."
Notwithstanding that the January is
considered tbe dullest month of tbe year
for newspapers, as well as many other
lines of business, we are compelled to
carry ten pages this week in order to
make room for the extra advertising,
which is a good indication that the year
1903 is going to be a bummer. Tbe
people realize that a paper with a circul
ation aggregating two thousand is a
much more valuable advertising medium
than one with only one thousand The
Courier claims that it has a circulation
greater than all other papers published
in Clackamas county and is willing to
prove its assertion. Its books are open
o inspection to any one interested.
W. H. Vaughan the "old war horse of
Democracy" and one of the oldest settlers
in the county was in town on Wednes- j
day and remained overnight with his :
son, Stoney Vaughan. Mr. Vaughan
notwithstanding his extreme age of !
eighty-two years, rode to town on horse
back driving in a lot of fine beel cattle
which he marketed at a fine price.
When it is understood that Molalla is
sixteen miles from Oregon City and that
the rain came down on Wednesday in
blinding sheets all day mixed at times
with Bnow and ice, it can readily be
understood that Mr. Vaughan bas much
of hit, old time vigor left. The old
settlers of the Willamette valley were a
hardy race and many are living to ripe
forage.
Plenty of excitement is to be found in
the modern, sensatioual tnelo drama.
"A Gambler's Daughter." One of the
scenes depicts the Chicago Board of
Trade on a "Bear" day. During ale-
cent engagement in that city the left
stage box was. occupied by a party pf
grain speculators. During th action of
the play the leading actor suddenly cries :
"October wheat at 73, who'll buy?"
One of the speculators iu the box had
become so interested in the play that he
shouted in good old "Bull" style, "I will,
a hundred at 73." The laughter of the
audience can well be imagined, but tbe
old speculator didn't appear in the least
embarrassed. Shively's opera house

S. L. Stewart, of Stone, returned on

While he has been living in this valley
for thirty-two years be has only resided
in Clackamas county for two years. Mr.
Stewart is an Indi'anian by birth, was
raised in Illinois and migratod to
Oregon in 1870. He is in love with
tha Willamette valley, and says that
Clackamas county is tbe best county
of all. From where he hvts at Stone he
can hear the ringing of five school bells,
and the country roundabout is as fertile
as any the Lord has yet made. Hesajs

Gilbert L. Hedges, of the firm of Cal

City's most prominent young attorn eys,
is making considerable reputation as a
damage suit lawyer. During the past
two weeks he has won two large verdicts
for bis clients, in the case 01 Rebecca
Turney against the Southern Pacific
Company he secured a verdict lor 4,Z50.
This case was tried in the Circuit Court
at Oregon City and was hotly contested
before a jury, tbe other case that of John
W.JNendel against the f. U. & U. uo.,
was tried last week at Portland
and a verdict of $1,500 secured for the
plaintiff, Tbe practice of the law of
damages is one of the most interesting
branches of the civil and statute law of
the state and will become' more and
more important as corporations increase
in number and the law is better under'
stood, Mr. Hedges is to be congratu
lated upon his success. In the latter
case his brother, Joseph E. Hedges,
was associated with him.
On Wednesday Attorneys Grant B.
Diniick and George L. Story filed suit in
the Clackamas Circuit Court against the
County of Clackamas for K. Luelling
for $1,450 alleged to be due him for clerk
hire pain out by him during his term as
recorder of Clackamas county. Tbe
term of Mr. Luelling began on the first
Monday in July, 1896, and continued
for two years. During that twenty-four
months Mr. Luelling paid out for depu
ty clerk hire the sum sued for and the
Board of County Commissioners has
failed, neglected and refused to reim
burse I im for the same. He has re
cently made demand upon the Board
for Hie said sum. of money and they
have declined to pay. This suit raises
some very interesting questions and its
outcome will be watched with interest
by the taxpayers and the general ot
Clackamas county.
There was a hot time last Saturday at
the village of Macksburg. The hot time
was occasioned by a school meeting at
which it was attempted to vote a 40-mill
tax to be raised in five annual assess
ments of eight mills each, for the pur
pose of building a school house in the
Macksburg district. A majority of the
voters present favored the tsx but the op
ponents of the tax refused to remain
beatan and came to this city the follow
ing Monday and filed suit in ttie Circuit
Court to have the election set aside.
Mayor Grant B. Dimick is the legal ad
viser of the plaintiffs.
Tbe plaintiffs allege that the authority
for issuing and posting the tax notices
for the special school meeting was not
given at anv duly and regularly called
session of the Board of Directors and
that no regular meeting or session of
Board of Directors was ever held at the
time the said notices of such special
school meeting were directors to be
posted as aforesaid. That the pretended
levy is wholly void for the reasons that
tbe notices executed and posted of the
special school meeting was not properly
given and that Baid notice failed to state
that said special reboot meeting was
called for the purpose of leying a tax.
The plaintiff prays for the court to grant
him a temporary order of injunction
and that the same will be made perpet
ual upon the final hearing of the cadse,
and tLat the court decree that the vot
ing and levying of the said pretended
tax at the special Bchool meeting is null
and void. L. L. Gribble is named in
the petition as plaintirTand F.A. wleight,
county clerk, as defendant.

The other day a drummer came

RIGHT or not at all : : :
There are grades and qualities
in drugs and chemicals, just as
in shoes, and dry goods and
clothing. One druggist buys
one grade, another buys another
grade. It depends entirely on
how high a standard of excel
lence the druggist sets for him
self, and maintains : : : :
You see, a man may, through
force of circumstances, buy a $2
pair of shoes instead of a $4 or
$5 pair, knowing that he is not
getting the best shoe; but with
drugs it is different. He doesn't
have any opportunity of testing
the drugs, and could not tell
their therapeutic worth even if
he did examine them. He must
rely implicitly upon the charac

At tha moptlncr nf thn unions of Ore

unanimously indorsed which favor union
principles. One was that eight hours

and a copy of each bill will be sent to

Some Facts and Figures Which
Tell Their Own Story.
The Oourier bas repeatedly called at
tention to the fact that chickens raising
in Clackamas county Is an industry of
considarable importance, and one that is
capable of great development, With
f ortiand almost at our doors with her
150,000 people and with our 0 vn people
consuming a large amount of the out
put of both eggs and fowls, there 1b no
reason why the market for both eses
and fowls should not remain at a figure
high enough to justify any one in the
industry to make money.
The Courier is constantly in receipt of
communications from poultry growers
m .) t . 1 . 1 . . 1 :
in uiuereuii mria ui tne cuuiuy WHO give
statistics Bhowing that there is good
money in the poultry business even on
small ranches, and f this be true of
small ranches, why should l not be
doubly so In larger ones.
The largest figures furnished the
Courier pertaining to poultry growers,
its profit etc., are furnished by H. Had
Perry, of Canby. Mr. Perry reports
that he has Bold 9 hens and 15 late pul
lets in all 2 dozen, to a poultry firm at
Vi centB per pound. The weight of the
24 chickens was 141 pounds, and tha re
ceipts for the 24, was $17,28 less the ex
press. So, these chickens, which Mr.
Perry says were only an average, brought
72 cents apiece. Eggs have been selling
both in Oregon City and Portland near
ly all winter at 25 cents a dozt n to 40
cents a do.en, and at few times in the
year do they resell a figure lower than
15 cents a dozen? With the warm
climate of the Willamette valley and
with the proper accouterments, there is
no reason why hens Bhould not lay all
winter and there is no reason why any
one would not take the trouble to go into
business on a large scale, should not
make plenty of money,
