COUNTY COMMISSION
EBS BENCH.
So Ends an Old Fued Among the
Republicans of Clackamai'
County.
Judge Thomas F. Ryan is now the
real county judge of Clackamas
county. When Governor Chamberlain
signed the bill on last Friday restoring
him to the bench and abolishing the
present board of county commissioners
of thie county an end was put to an old
Repuplican fued in this county. A few
years ago when Senator Brownell was in
the Senate as was Hon. L. L. Porter
JUDGE THOMAS
between them they agreed to clip the
wings of Judge Ryan, who was then on
the bench, and they had a bill pass cre
ating a Board of County Commission
ers of which Ju Jge Ryan was not a mem
ber. Since then the county judge has
had nothing to dp with the managing of
the fiscal affairs of Clackamas county
and in many respects has been but a
figurahead. He kept his timber how
ever and bided his time. As every "dog
has his day" so did Judge Ryan's day
come. In the course of nature the Sen-

feel that the state is indeed very highly

PUBLIC BUILDING FOR
ORE JON CITY.
Senator Simon Introduces Bill
in Senate Asking for
Appropriation. '
Oregon City may get a hundred
thousand dollars public building, and
ajain she may not. Senator Simon has
introduced a bill in the senate of the
United States authorizing the purchase
of a site and the erection of a building
to co-t not more than a hundred
thousand dollars,and the Courier eiucerf
ly hopes the bill will pass. A hundred
thousand dollar public building would
materially help the looks of the town.
It would give us prestige, and it wou'd
be a good thing in many ways. With
the great rush of immigration that is
coming from the east-Oregon City ought
to grow to a town of ten thousaud in a
few years ind she no doubt will
Oregon City ought to have a govern
ment office building and she is entitled
to one. She will have a free delivery
system within two years if everything
goes right and it looks like things are
going right.
Oregon Cfty is destined to be a great
town, and the "knockers" bad just as
well quit knocking for they can't help
the matter any, she is going to be a
great town anywa -.
atorial term of Senator Porter expired
Brownell was reelected and so was
Judge Ryan. Senator Brownell
having come to the conclusion that
Judge Ryan would be more useful as a
friend than as an enemy and the whirl
gig of polititics having brought around
many changes, decided to restore his
old time enemy to the bench. He intro
duced the bill, fathered it and pushed it
and it is now a law. In addition the
salary of the county judge has been in
creased from 600 to $1,200, which ought
to satisfy the judge. In fact nobody
ought to kick very much about the sal
ary if the duties of this onerous position
are discharged to the satisfaction of the
county. Judge Ryan is a very capable
officer and deserving citizen and should
be congratulated on his good luck.
The meanest thing about the entire
business is that Chairman John Lew-

ellyn who not so many years ago was a
Democrat of the dyed in the wool va
riety and held office as a Democrat and
"swapped horses crossing the stream"
and ran on the Republican ticket and
was elected the last time, gets it in the
"neck". The party for which he gaye
his all has legislated Ctira out of office,
given him the "Grand bounce", fired
him so to speak. Political parties are
not grateful as Brother Lewellyn prob
ably knows by thi ijtime. Tbmenda an

A pretty wedding occured Wednesday
afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
G. O. Wood, on Ash street, when in the
presence of fifty or more relatives and
frieuds. Mabel Gertrude Wood and
David Kirby Bradley were made man
and wife. The lowering skies of a week
past gave way to bright sunshine as if
to rive more 5ov and gladness to the
wedding of these popular young people,
The hall and parlor were prettily
decorated is white and green. Smilax
and crape paper being used with artistic
skill. Between the folding doors was a
curtain oi smilax atruded with flowers.
The dining room was in pink and green
The ceremony was periormed by the
Rev. J. A. Wickham, beneath floral bell
ofVhite carnations and smilax, the ring
service being used.'
The bride was most beautiful in a wed
ding gown of pearl grey crepe de chine,
trimmed with white satin and
white applique lace. She carried
boquet of white hyacinths and ferns.
MiBS Carrie Durr, the bridesmaid,
was becomingly gowned in white
organdie. The groom was attended by
his brother John Bradley.
After the ceremony the bridal party
partook of a dainty collation, the host
ess being assisted in serving by Misses
Lena Utmer, Rath Dennis and Edna
Wood.

This is not only the lust week of the
Legislative session but this is the last
duy of the session. It does not take
forty days long to pass when they are
filled with good deeds. The flood lasted
forty days and forty nights. It can do
that most any old time in Oregon.
Forty days of Legislation however is
time enough to do a lot of good and
some barm. Quite a number of
meritorious bills have been enacted into
law and some bad ones have also found
their way into the statute books. On
the whole it has been an orderly and
decent legislature. The boys have be
haved themselves fairly well and will go
home with the respect and confidence of
their people.

The Wacheno Tribe of Red Men, No.

last Saturday at their hall. The anni

manner. There were stacks of "corn
and venaion" on the tables, besides all
of the other good things that any one
could wish for. Chas. W. Kelly presided
over the meeting and made a speech
that showed he was a good deal of an
orator. He was foltowed by John
Bradley and C. Weismandel, charter
members of the order in brief and
brilliant talks. During the evening

SETTLERS MOVING WEST
1500 on First Great Northern
Train Out of St. Paul.
Everest, Wash., Feb. 16. At the
Great Northern superintendent's office
here it is said that a west-bound over
land in three sections is on the way,
carrying 1500 settlers for Pacific Coast
points. The train will arrive here on
Tuesday evening.
Missouri River common points, St.
Louis and Chicago went into effect
yesterday, but the weather in the Mis
sissippi Valley and Rocky Mountain
country was too forbidding for a large
movement of passengers westward, the
Great Northern being the only road re
porting. Eastern people will not start
on a long journey with a snow blockade
staring them in the face. A heavy
settlers' movement. Is assured as soon
as the weather is propitious in the
East. The rate is based on $23 from
Missouri river common points to the
Pacific Coast, the rates applying to
California as well as to the Pacific
Northwest, which has heretofore bad a
monopoly of the business under settlers'
rates. This time the California lines
have gone as far aa to extend the time a
month and .a half beyond the limit
quoted by the Northern lines to June
15. As a matter of course, however, the
Northern lines will be obliged to meet
this movement of the southern lines.
QUEER BUSINESS.
JUDGMENT FOR $2,000
TAKEN AGAINST CLACK
AMAS COUNTY AND NO
DEFENSE.
Motion Set Aside and Judgment
Will Probably Not be
Allowed,
Mention was made in these colu.nns
some two weeks ago that Li nick &
Story had brought suit for A. Lu ;llen
against the county of Clackamns for
$1,462 and interest. The Buit was to
recover certain fees alleged to have been
paid out by Mr. Luellen when he was
county treasurer. The Board of County
Coinmisaioneis refused to pay the bill
and the suit was the result. Now
strange to Bay the county, by . its proper
officials, failed to file auy answer to this
suit. The result is that Mr. A. Luellen
has a judgment against the county for
the entire amount of his claim, which,
together with Interest and coet will
amount to about $2,000. It seems
tliat it wa the intention of the Board
oi Uounty vjommissioners to ngru ine
pnyinetit of ibis claim and that it was
the duty of Mr. J. U. Campbell to pre
p tre and file the county's answer as he
is the county district attorney. Mr,
Campbell was in Salem where lie had
secured another job i i the Legislature
and he sent the matter o the district
attorney at Astoria and he failed to act,
and there you are. It looks a little pe
culiar that a big rich county like Ciaika
mas should lut a deft. y It judgment go
asainsl it without even making a fig t.
If this judgment is not set auue tin rj
is going to be so some pretty warm talk
among the taxpayers The moral of
this story is that one office at a time is
enough lor the average citizjn.

improve this road during the coming
summer. A part of the road will be
