Just as soon as the Methodist church
building is finished there will be a whole

on Main street. Blocs, the liouse-

present quarters to the looms under the
church, while Robinson, the dry good
man, will move into the store vacated
by Block, while Bradley, the second
hand furniture and junk dealer, will go
into Robinson's old place. All of the
above, mentioned paities have bought
larger quantities of goods than their pre

the slowness with which the building is
progressing is causing them all a good
deal of inconvenience.

digestive organs, get them in hea Itby

troubles will leave of themselves. Dis

Twelve-Year-Old Daughter of Mrs. A.
L. Snider Held Up and Robbed.
There was another hold-up in Oregon
City last Saturday night. This time the
victim was a girl of twelve, the daugh
ter of Mrs. A. L. Snider, who lives in
tne Methodist church parsonage on
Railroad Avenue. About 7:30 p. m.
the child was sent to A. Eobertson's
grocery on the hill to pay a bill. She
was given $35 a twenty, a ten and a
five dollar gold piece, which was tied in
the corner of a handkerchief which she
she held in her hand and swung to and
fro as she climbed the steps. Just as
she reached the steps at the foot of Sev
enth street a tall man wearing a black
overcoat reaching to his heels and a
black fedora hat, passed her on the
steps. The man had very probably seen
the mother give the child the money and
had followed. Tying a handkerchief
about his eyes he suddenly turned and
faced the child and demanded the money
Without an instant's hesitation shs
did as reauested. He then told her to
walk on up the hill, while he turned
and walked raoidlv down the steps and
disappeared in the darkness. The girl
tliiiii ran home and told what ha-' OC'
curred and the police were notified but
the thief had made cood his escape,
Tlu re has been a scries of hold-ups in

The 1,300 privates in the Oregon
volunteer infantry in Spanish-American
was are up in arms and bitterly de
nounce the history of ' the Regiment in
that war as written by Brigadeer General
U. U. Cantenbien and ptibliBed by act of
the Oregon Legislature at the session of
1901. The privates have a good "kick
coming", and there is no wander tbey
are mad aa hornetB and want justice dona
thorn before it is too late .
The main ground for complaint is that
in writing the book and the history of
the regiment that great injustice haa
been done every private who shouldered,
arms for his country and took all kinda
chances of meeting death in that far
away land of pestilence and fever. Tha
book purposes to give the record of every .
man in the regiment fr m the command
ing officers down the line.' Of the
officers good and well.. They are hand
somely treated, their records aresetoot
in full and fine half tone cuts decorata
the pages of the book. When it comes
to telling the storv of the life of the pri
vates quite a different method was
pursued. All of the short comings of
each private is set down in cold black
type, if he got drunk, was absent with
out leave, failed to salute an officer or
did any of the thousand aitd one little
things that soldier boys bo often are
proud to do, it i set down in the book in'
big black tj pe for all people and especial
ly for his family and children and grand
children to read for all time to come.
Nothing however is said about his good
deeds, his meritorious actions his days
oi murcning over o ggj land, swiming
unfordable rivers, pushing through tha
brush of impenetrable forests and climb
ing mountains with little to eat and
always in danger of his life from un
scrupulous. Phillipnio who were ever
on his trail. It mattered not if the pri
vate participated in forty battles as many
of them did, and won distinguished
honor by personal bravery not a word is
said in' the remarkable history about
tne matter. All of bis acts of biavery
and g)od deeds are forgotten and passed
over, all of his short comings are set
down in imperishable print. "
1 As many of the boys who volunteered
in the Spanish American war from Ore
gon, were from Oregon Ci'y and this
county there is no wonder that a "holy

and the injustice done to the boya who
uiatiie nghting.
Of this book 500 copies were printed
and they have been sent to all of the
officers of the regiment ami to all of the
newspapers ot the state and not a book
was sent to a private. rXhe books cost
six dollars per vol urn which was enough
uib gooa Liora Knows. .
At the session oi the legislature just
closed a resolution was passed directing
the printing of 1,433 more copies of the
book and sending one to each private
who was engaged in the Manilla cam
paigns, ome of the minor officers of
the regiment undertook to have the
book reritten and corrected given each
private soldier credit for the work he
had done, sett in a forth all of the battles
in which he was engaged, the skirmisher
in which he took part and all the
meritorious deeds to his credit set down
in white and black Mr. J. W. Mollett
who wag a Seargent of the regiment and
is one of the prominent employees of the
Willamette paper mills in this city, and
others tried to get a resolution through
the Leginlature directing that the hintory
be rewritten along the lines sugtgested
above. A resolution to that effect was
introduced and championed by Senator
Brownell in the Senate and passed with
HI
H. E. Carr, a resident of Colton, was
arrested Monday charged with assault
ing J. Gorbett of the same place and
brought before the Justice of the Peace,
Livy Btipp for trial. At the trial Tues
day he pleaded guilty and was fined $50,
rtarr and Gorbett sot into trouble over
bill. Words led to
oniy two uiBseuuuK votes, idis was a
concurrent' resolution and to become el
ective would also have to pass the House
It was never intended that it should be
come a law and the grafts were packed
into it and it never ' reached the house.
It is supposed that the high officios got
in their good work before the resolution
could getout of the Senate chamber. In
fact its passage in the Senate was only a
little by play and was not mant to ac
complish anything.
As it stands now there Is no remedy
for the private mldier unless Governor
ChamherUin can veto the resolution.
authorizing the printing of the additional
1.44U cooies and keep the matter alive
until the next session of the Legislature.
We ao not believe that he can do this
and the private soldiers in the Oregon
regiment in the Spanish American war
win nave an injustice done them that
win iouow them through all of the walks
of life and instead of their soldier life
being a credit to them as tbey grow
older and their families and children
come around them tbey will tind this
printed record a mill stone around their
1 necks. The entire matter is an outrare
the collection ot a
to blows on the part of Carr and Gorbett I on decency j but just now there seemi
was pretty oaaiy neeu up. j to oe no remedy.
