A. S. DRESSER'
APPOINTED REGISTER OF OREQON
CITY LAND OFFICE.
; B. rioores, Who Has Been
Charge for the Past Five Years
Will Step Down and Out.
In
Register C. B. Moores, of the Un ted
States land office in Oregon City, has
been 'deposed ami A. 8. Dresser ' has
be?n appointed in his stead. The
change was not made because of any
complaint about the way in which the
land office has been managed by Mr.
Moores, but because his place v as need
ed for another man, with, perhaps, a
stronger political pull.

RON. a. s. dresser.
Mr. Dresser is an old resident of this
city, and while many people were anx
ious, that Mr. Moores be retained in his
position, if he had to be deposed, they
are glad so good a man as Mr. Dresser
has been chosen to fi 111- his place. Mr.
Moores was appointed to the office more
than five years ago and has given good
satisfaction.
It is not known jtibt when the actual
transfer of the office will take place but
it is presumed that it will be Boon. Mr,
Moores will remain in Oregon City for
some time after the office has changed
bands and. may possibly 'practice before
the new register in land contests, of
which there bids fair to be a good many.
He was' formerly an attorney at Salem,
The United States land office in Ore
gon City is te oldest in Oregon and one
of the oldest in the country. It was es'
tablished in 1852, when donation land
claims were plenty, and settlers were
given a square mile of the beautiful and
fertile prairies or wooded hills, which
ever the case may be, of the wonder
fully rich Willamette Valley, if they
would make up their minds to live cn
them, and a good many of them did,aud
many yet live who took np those old do'
nation claims way back before the dark
days of the civil war. These dona ion
claims were surveyed by metes and
bounds and not in accordance with town
ship section lines that have since come
into fashion, and the discrepancy be
tween the old pioneer lines and those
f later day townehips surveys, have
caused many clashes in the cuurts for
the past half a ceDtury, but the differ
ences have been pretty well .reconciled
by this time. a
Many millions of dollars have flowed
into Uncle Sam's Coffers from the Oregon
City land office within the past half a
century, bul this flow of gold toward the
National Capitol cannot last very much
longer, a." tile treat bulk of the land is
now owned by private, citizens. It is
therefore, not unlikely tnal the receipts
will greatly diminish after a year or so,
and thoee who are in a position to know,
thii.k that Mr. Dresser will be fortunate
if he can make the position earn him
$3000 per year during his entire term of
four years. It was thought five vears
ago that the office had reached the limit
of its maximum record, but the modern
rise in values of lumber and agricultural
landB have given the business of the of
fice a new impetus and it has more than
justified the $3000 Balary during Mr.
MooreB' term.
There are still 700,000 acres of land
open to entry outside of the forest re
serves in this district, but the most of
it is mountainous and rocky and too
much elevated to be of much value ag
griculturally, though the timber and
mineral is valuable. Last year 117,000
acres were taken up and the making of
final proof on these homestead and tim
ber entries wi'l form the bulk of the in
come of the office for the next four years.
After that the receipts will no doubt di
minish and the Oregon City land office
will no longer beconsidered the fat thing
it has been in tbe past, to be reserved
for the deserving friend of some senator
of the United States.
LATER.
The latest from Washington oo Thurs
day morning is tbe quiet information
that the appointment of Colonel A. S.
Dresser has been held op on tbe request
of Senator 8imon and that it may not be
made at all. It seems that Senator Si
mon some time ago complained to the
president that he was not getteng a fair
"shake" in the matterjof patronage and
that the president tuid him that he
might name the successor of Colonel C.
B. Moores to the land office. Simon is
now claiming his right and it all may re
sult in Dresser's turn down and possi
bly in Moores continuing in the position.
Such is politics.

Y.HARRY PRESIDENT OF THE
AMERICAN FEDERATION
OF LABOR SPEAKS.
Organized Labor Is Winning Us Way
AH Over the Country.
A labor mass meeting that was both
entertaining and instructive was held at
Willamette hall on last Friday evening.
G. Y. Harry representing the American
Federation of Labor, the largest or
ganization of laboring people iu the
world was present and made an address.
Mr. Harry is the head of the labor or
ganization in the Btate of Oregon and ie
as.iiongand forceful speaker and his
speech was instructive and to the point.
The labor press of Portland sent down
their quartette and some fine muBic
enlivened the proceedings of the even
ing. Speeches were also made by Harry
Rodgers of California a member of the
Federation of that state and an old
printer. Mr. Jones of Portland made a
very instructive talk along the line of
effective organization. A large crowd
was in attendance and a thoroughly good
time was enjoyed by all.
VINDICATED.
The Federal Union of Oregon City
met last week and passed the following
resolutions vindicating Secretary How
ard of the organization who has been
very severely criticised by some of the
unions of Oregon City. The resolutions
passed are as follows:
Oregon City, Or., March 16, 1903.
To Whom It May Concern: '
We, members of Federated 'Labor
Union No. 9708 of Oregon Cit , Oregon,
assembled in special session for the
purpose of investigating the condemna-'
tion resolutions against J. H. Howard,
our secretary, which were preferred by
the carpenters' union of this city, do
hereby pass the following resolutions :
Whereas, Said union does say that
our secretary is unfair and dishonest
and unfit to belong to any union, and as
tney can Dnng no proot but hearsay and
newspaper talk which is unreliable, and
Whereas, On the other hand Brother
Howard has furnished abundant proof
that he is certainly fair to unionism and
a man of honesty and integrity and that
he lms done more to upbuild unionism
in tuts comunity that any other man
and
Whereas, We believe that the charges
are born of malice and jealousy and that
tney are not the product ot thoughtful
and conscientious men, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we do not endorse the
action of the carpenters' union in this
matter, but that we rather think that an
apology is due from them to Brother
Howard, and be it further
Resolved, That we commend Brother
Howard for the work done in the past in
the ranks of unionism, also that a copy
of these resolutions be published in the
papers and and that a copy also be sent
to each of the unions of this city and that
the same lie signed by the president and
attested with the seal of this union.

The tremendous 8 trides that are being
made day after day in the medical pro
fession the worl 1 over are aptly demon
strated right here in Oregon City. Dr. I
M. C. Strickland who recently returned
from the East after having taken athee

bably the finest, most complete and
latest improved Static and X Ray
machine upon live coast. The machine
was built by Waite & Barlett of New

is excellent and effective in scientific
electric treatment. With the powerful
XRay the Doctor can look through a
patient almost as easy as one can look
through a pain of glass. He can locate
all foreign substances, and concealed
causes of ailments. Cancer in all of its
stages and various forms yields to tbe X
Ray treatment readily and the cure is
effective and permanent. The curative
effect) of tbe electric treatment are just
being demonstrated and there are many
troubles to which flesh is their that yield
readily to the lightenings power. Dr.
Strickland is an expert manipulator of
the machine and many of his friendsand
patient have been callitg rn him during
the week to see I lie machine in operation.
The machine is not only the best, that
skill and science has yet produced but
is as finely constructed as a watch and
is a very costly piece of furniture for a
doctors office.
