Oregrp fity.Cr, (JE0. T, HOWARD NOTARY PTTBttC! REAL ESTATE AND TNtJRANCS At Red Trent Court Home Slock OREGON CITY Will Mill Workers Make Demands for Better Pay. The Federal Labor Union was in ses sion last Monday evening. The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the prorosed demand (or a raipe in wages and shorter hours for the workers in the paper mills. Nothing was given out for publication regarding the meeting, save that no steps will be taken toward secur ing the proposed increase of wages be fore May 1. Just what demand will be made by the men at that time is mere speculation, but f i om the best informa tionable it is believed that the men will ask for a straight ten hour day, and that the night workers shall receive so much per hour for theii work. Asthesitua' tion now is, night laborers who work from half past five or six o'clock in the evening until seven o'clock in the morn ing, receive the same compensation that they do for working from seven in the morning till half past five or six in the afternoon, I) is generally conceded that the mill workers will not make any ex orbitant demands, and it is generally be lieved that their demands will be grant' ed without a strike. One reason for the postponement of the demand for the changed condition of affairs is that Saperintende.it Lang is away on a vacation and nothing could be done until he returns towards mak ing a change. Mot all of the paper mill workers are members of any union, not even the Federal Union, and it is considered doubtful if a general strike was ordered if any great number would walkout. It is conceded on all sides, however, that nothing could be fairer titan that the men should be paid so much per hour, and that they are en titled to more wages for working four teen hours than they sre for working ten. All business men in town are ex tremely anxious that the matter of wages should be adjusted without any trouble, as a strike would inj'ire business greatly. Entertainment at flount Pleasant, JJ O.

NO YIINATrD FJR CONQRESS BY THE DEMOCRATS OF THE 1st DISTRICT. Will Make a Cheat Baci and Greater Congressman If Elected. THE OLD RELIABLE M POWDER Absolutely Pure.' THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE Albany, April 11, 1903 The watchwardof the unterrifled hosts of democracy which assembled in this city to-day was harmony. There was gooa leeitng on every Bide and not a word was said to mar the love feast among all of the democrats of the dis trict or to stir up strife or feeling. The predominating idea was to get together and naue a candidate and write a plat form so br. al and generous that all honest men could stand upon it. To one who has been through ths bit ter internecine party fights of the last half dozen years, who has seen demo r t crai ngai aemocrats and the party wrecaea :anu torn asunder it was good to eee all democrats, old and young once more getting together and all pull ing in tne same direction. There were old men in the gathering who have been fighting for the fa!th for more than fifty years ana boys who have cast but a single vote all animated with only one purpose and seeking one end. The convention itself was of brief dur ation. It was called to order by Chair. man wmte who explained its purpose in a neat and able BKot h. J. K.Weath- erford was made chairman. 0. V. Oal low ay was made secretary, and the good work went on. It took the platform committee but a little while to formU. la'e a short and to the point platform and credentials and O-fganiza ion committees performed their work in short ordej Hon. A. E. Reams, of Jackson county, was piaceu in nomination and after a very brief scrap with two other aspir ants won with easy and was made the unanimous choice of the convention. He accepted the nomination in a magnifl. cent speech and pledged himself to make an active and vigorous canvass of the district between now and the first of June. The delegation from Clackamas coun ty were all present and were well taken care of in the appointments. The fol lowing is the list of delegates from this county: W. II. Vaughan, from Molalla; J. P. :Lovett, Oregon City;C. W. Ga nong, Canemah ; J. K. Gribble, Macks burg; C. N. Waite.Canby; Ernest Mass, Willamette; C. M. Kirchem, Logan; T. L. Turner, of Staffed. 0. N. Waite was made a member of the committee n credentials. A permanent congressional committee from this district was appointed of which C. N. Waite, of Oanby, was ma le a msmber from this countv. , The nomination ot Mr. Ream was a very fortunate one and wan exceedingly well accepted by the delegates present, and they were all present with two ex ceptions. Mr. Reams Is a young man , and a man o? splendid ability. He is very popular wherever known and his scquaintence is very extensive especially in the South ern part of the state. He is a f on-in-law of the late Congression Tongue. He is a fine speaker, a man of good address and impresses one as an honest fellow. He ie a native Oregonian and loves his state and its people. While the district is Republican by more than two thousand majority on a strict partv vote, Herman's vu nerable record and the dissatiefaction of Republi cans ingeneial, and the exceptionable ability of Reams and his clean manly record will no doubt bring him under the wire a winner. The delegates to the convention went their several ways promising to make the fight of their lives to elect a congressman from the first Oregon district in the person of Hon. A. E. Reams. Dr. Glassco, the Great Colored Preacher Coming. Dr. John F. Glassco, leader of St. John's Pentecost Holiness Union Gos pel Mission, 171 1-2 Second street, cor net Yamhill, will open a week's revival meetings at the Armory an the evening of Tuesdav, April 21st to begin at 7:30, He will be accompanied by his wife and a host of helpers. Dr. Glassco is abun dently blessed with that spiritual elo quence which is often a spontaneous endowment of the colored man. His zeal in the great work of salvation is un bounded. In a letter to his lriend, J, F. Montgomery, of this city, he writes: "We will be there on the 21st if the Lord will Bleis his holy name, I don't know how many that will come now. I will Pray for a good time. Meetings here are good. I am your all for the Master." M. F. McCown and wife, of Medford. have been visiting friends in Oregon Citv during the past week. Mr. McCown is n"t only an old Oregonian but a native of Oregon City. Mr. McCown is in the timber business in the southern part of the state and a part of his business in' Oregon City this week was closing up a timber scrap deal with eastern part'es for 130.000. Mr. McCown has been in many parts of Oregon and thinks It is all good, but there are few better places ii the wo'ld than old Clackamas. While Southern Oregon has a great reputation as a fruit country he believes that the Willamette valley in ihe vi cinity of Oregon City can raise better fruit than they can in the Southern part of the statu if they will take the same care of their trees and give the ruit industry the attention that it de Are You Married to any particular brand of Cigars?
