NEW POST MASTER.
TOM P. RANDELL WINS
THE
APPOINTMENT.
Will be Inducted Into Office wamin
Sixty Days. -
The long drawn out fight for Post
master in this city is at an end. Tom
P.Randall a native Clackamas county
boy has won the place and will shortly
be in charge of the Po&t i fhee in this city.
The finht for this place has been a hot
one. Postmaster George Horton who
has very acceptably held the position
for the last fit e yea rs was an applicant
for re-appointment. But the powers
4
r,
T. P, Randall, New PoBtmaster
that be Were agcinst him. The politi
cians in Clackamas county who controle
things were behind Mr. Randall in his
fight and consequently he won out. '
The position of PoBtmaster in Oregon
City is a good place. It pays $1900 per
year at the present time and at the next
rating the salary will be increased.
Mr. Randall tbe new postmaster is
one of the best know citizens ot Clacka
mas county. He terved the county as
Recorder for four years. He is a good
business man, He is genial, kind and
obliging aud every one believes that he
will make a first class postmaster. He
will take charge of the office within
thirty days.
George H. Horton the retiring posU
master has given universal satisfaction.
His many friends regret very much that
he could not be re-appointed; bat such
is politics. Mr. Horton is a Buckeye
by birth. He came to Oregon In 1889
and settled in Ulackamas county near
Needy and resided there until he was
elected County Recorder which office he
held for four years. Ho is a prominent
figure in Clackamas county politics and
a gentleman every inch of him.
There were two or three other gentle
men in the fight for this place but they
were not in the running when the
finish came,
HOT STUFF.
THE
BALL QAflE BETWEEN
CLERKS AND BARBERS.
Clerks Win by Score
of Seven to
Five.
The promised game of ball between
the clerkg and barbers of Oregon City
came off last Sunday afternoon at Wil
lamette Park. - Notwithstanding the
rain, snow and hail a goodly crowd was
out to Bte tbe first came of the Beason
and they were well paid for their time
Both teams lined up in good shape
but showed the lack of practice. Con
sidering that the boys all went in the
field without practice the game was
remarkably good one. .
The material is here in these two
union organiza'ions for the making of
two excellent t ams and the residents j
of Oregon City can look forward to some
real good base ball the coming summer.

The Murdock Boys.
According to all accounts, one day in
December last; Jimmy and Johnny Bar
dock, Jimmy Eaton and another boy
named Nash were in a room together np
town. The Eaton boy bad a gold watch
and some money which the Burdock
boys needed in their business, that of
taking Hie easy. In order to get these
valuables, they told Nash 'that if he
didn't "go through" Eaton, in order to
place the same in their possession, they
would "pouud the stuffing out of him."
Nash, being naturally obedient, did as
be was told. Tbe sequal of the holdup
was that Chief Bnrns, having strong
suspicions and evidence, for Nash had
given the snap away, last week pre
vailed on Jimmy Murdock to confess.
The Mnrdock boys are in jail ruminat
ing on the good time they had at Eaton's
expense, and Nash is at liberty on bail.
GATHERING TAXES.
Sheriff Shaver and Deputies Busy
Writing Receipts For Tax
payers. The busiest place in Clackamas county
during the past week has been the of
fice of John A. Shaver, the high sheriff
of Clackamas county. He and his dejw
tie have all and more than all they
could do collecting taxes and writing
the patient taxpayers receipts for their
payments. Until the 15th day of this
month there is a three per cent discount
on all taxes paid and the farmers and
taxpayers generally have been taking
advantage of this small rebate by pay
ing before that date. Thousands of dol
lars have been paid into the treasury
each day. Taxpayers have stood in line
lor three and four hours at a time to get
a "chance at the sheriff One man faint
ed when he found out how much his
taxt-s were for this year.
The tax rate in Olackaniss county is as
high aB 'Cats back," iu fact it is doubt
ful if tliere ib another county in the
United States with as high a tax. rate.
The rate iu Oregon City is $42.00 on the
$1,000.00. In the country districts it is
$32 on the $1,000. The main cause of
this very high rate is the equally low as
sessment ; but it makes a bad record for
the county..
Road Meet'ng.
The farmers of the Redland district
are in earnest about the improvement
of the Abernathy road. On Wednesday
they had a meeting at the school houBe
and after discussing the matter for a
time a "nbscription paper was started
around with the result that in a little
while $025 was was subscribed to this
road improvement. At the same time
a committee was appointed to solicit
further subscription in th it neighbor
hood and it is confidently beleived that
$1500 in all will be raised to help this
improvement along by the farmers along
the road. The citizens of Oregon Oity
are expected to put up nn -equal amount
and the County Court has promised to
do the rest.
THREE YEARS
J. H. Wilson Has Boarded at County's
expense.
About three years ago J. II. Wilson
was kicked off the front end of a bag
gage Car in Oregon City and sustained a
compound fracture of the left ankle.
Wilson sued the company for $2,500 and
was kept by the county while the suit
was pending. Wilson was beaten in
the suit for damages. Since that time
Wilson has boarded at a hotel, the coun
ty paying $15 a month for his keep al
though previous to his being hart he
was not a resident of Oregon City nor of
Clackamas county. Wilson st'll walks
on crutches while in Oregon City b,ut it
is claimed that while out of town he Is
able to get along very well without
them, and this knowledge came to jude
Ryan, who told him that he must do
something to support himeelf, as Clack
amas county had never been in duty
bound to take care of him.
Wilson says that he is a carriage pain
ter by trade and, that his home is in In
diana. He says that he was not trying
to beat his way on the train, but admits
that he was a drinking man and was ad
dicted to the use of morphin before he
met with his misfortune. The county
officials think that he is a hobo. Wilson
nowwantsthe county to send him to
Montana, but the county officials think
they have done about enough for him.

TROUBLE BREWING
BETWEEN THEUNIONS OF OREGON j
CITY AND SECT. HOWARD
Strong Resolutions Passed by Car.
penters Claim He Is a Tool of
Brownell.
In reply to tbe following statement
made by J. H. Howard, secretary of
Federal Union in the Evening Telegram
March 4th, 1903.
J. H. Howard, secretary of Federal
Labor Union of Oregon City, denies
that the organization proper had a
hand in the lesolutions denouncing Sen
ator Brownell Monday evening,
"The parties who passed these reso
lutions," Mr. Howard said today, "met
after the regular meeting bad adjourned
and they had no authority from the
Federal Labor Union, which will take
no action regarding Mr. Brownell's
course, so far as I am aware. There r,re
900 labor union men in Oregon City,and
none of these were represented by dele
gates at the meeting at which these reso
lutions were passed. There were not
more than 40 men in that meeting, and
so their action cannot be fathered by the
Federal Labor Union proper.
These statements are not correct as
the following will bIiow. First, the call
was made by Federal Union to other
Unions of the city to be present to meet
with the Federal Union to consider the
actions of the stat 1 senate in not recog
nizing labor measures. To prove this
we insert a copy of Mr. Howard's letter
to Mr. E. F. Kennedy, secretary of the
Carpenters' Union in which he requests
the carpepters to meet with Federal
Union.
Dear Sir: I have been instructed to
apk your union to meet with Federal
Union of this city, to get an expression
on the action of the state senate in not
iecoguizing labor measures which were
of vital importance to the unions here.
J. H. Howard, Sec.
Second, while all the Unions were rep
resented the majority of those present
were members of the Federal Union,
and when the resolutions came up to'
be voted upon 84 voted for the resolu
tions and Qlagainst the resolutions. Fur
t ier, the committee who drafted the
resolution was composed of members of
1 unions represented at tbe meeting,
"The carpenters of this city condemn
Mr. Howard as being dishonest in this
natter trying to mislead the public and
t lowing himself to be a tool of Senator
1 ,eorge Brownell .
i' We are farther surprised that Mr.How-
Wuew etvr much about tbe meeting as
he excused himself early in the evening
to go and attend bar in Kelly's saloon.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Carpenters Union
of this city condemn Mr.Howard as being
unfair and dishonest and unworthy of
membership in any union.

We are like house plants : We need a
