OREGON CITY IMPROVEMENTS.
New Business Enterprises Launched
and New Buildings Springing Up
on Every Hand.
Very few people realize the number of
new busineES enterprises that have been
launched in this little city during the
past two or three months. Nothing can
be taken as better criterion for the
growth of a town than its business en
terprises, and judging by this Oregon
City is growing at a remarkably rapid
rate. To illustrate we will point out
some of the new tirnm that are doing
business in Oregon City.
One of the first is Thotnpon's general
f .rniphii g g.iods store, with a stock of
sev- ra tboilsai.d collar, l-cated on
Main street just below Huntley's drug
store Ttiis has been in operation about
a mouth or six weeks.
Another firm that has largely in
creased in dimensions is Fairclough
Bros. & Co., successors to Fairclough
Bras., general merchants, farther down
Main street. They are just getting into
their new store building which is one of
tbe most commodicus o .e-story build
ings in the town. They will carry a
stock amounting to five or six thousand
dollars and will deal in all sorts of hard
ware and farming implements, besides
carrying a line of grain and feed stuffs,
together with lime, land plaster and ce
ment. Cain & Pbeister's new butcher shop n
Molalla Avenue is another additidn to
the many enterprises already launched.
Theee boys have been business for
for about a month and have started off
with an impetus that indicates that they
will be successful. Oregon City now
has foua butcher shops and general meat
markets, all of which are in a flourish
ing condition.
One of tbe newest enterprises that has
been recently launched is that ol T. F.
KnowleB, the novelty dealer on Seventh
street. Mr. Knowles only opened his
doors to the public last Mondav, but
say that everything is starting off with
bright prospects.
The Oregon City Plaring Mill Com
pany which was recently incoaporated
with a large capital stock, might also be
put on the list "of new enterprises.
Hamilton &Purcll, a new saloon in
the old building known as the Depot
salnoo, is another new establishment,
while the Wilson Bros, are operating a
new saloon on Fourth street.
D.O.Ely has recently built a store
house next door to his dry goods store,
in which he has placed a line ol wagons,
bui gies and fuming implements. His
store and contents means an investment
of several thousand dollars.
Besides all this, and which meansa
great increase in that business of Ore
gon City, the paper mills have added
largely to their plant and are employing
tifiy or Bisty more men than ever before,
while the Electric Company is building
a new wharf and freight house at Cane
man and-a new depot in Oregon City.
New buildings are going up on every
bind, both business and residence, and
everything indicates that that the pres
ent year will be a hummer for business
of all kinds. There are now under course
of construction nearly a score of new
cottages and residences, while manyoi
the old ones are being repaired and en
larged. Truly, "The world do move,"
aud Oregon City is still on the map.
Ball at Aurora.
Last Saturday evening the K. of P.
hall at Aurora was filled to overflowing
with the youtt and beauty of that live
ly section of the country, the occasion
baino a banquet and dance given by the
lo;al lodge. Two tables were filled to
overflowing with good things to eat and
about 200 people participated in the
festivities and partook of the feast. Vhe
dancing continued till an early hour sq
themo-ning, when the guests wendij
their ways to their severtl homes.
Among the Oregon City people vtho
were present were: Mr. and Mrs. U. B.
Dimictt, Misses Nan Cochran and Alma
Albright.

CHRISTENED
With Music and Song a Tiny
Launched.
On last Sunday morning at the Epis
copal church in this city was performed
a ceremony that always appeals to those
who loyed the Master in all parts of His
vineyard. Florence W . Gradon, the lit
tle daughter of Walter A. Gradon and
wife, of Portland, received the christen
ing ceremony of the church and was
started adrift on the wild waters of this
world with becoming ceremony. They
were accompanied to Oregon City by H.
D. Gradon and wife, Jesse Crane and
wife, Captain Pease and Captain San
burn. Walter Gradon is a brother to Mrs.
J. C. Bradley , and the Portland party
made the Bradley home their headquar
ters while in the city. Toney Noltner,
an old resident of Oregon City and well
known to nearly every one here, acted
as godfather to little Florence at the
christening. This makes three genera
tions in direct tine that Mr. Nollner has
stood godfather for at the christeniug
hour. The child, the mother and the
grandmother and save that he is good
for another job of tbe same kind twenty
years hence. The ceiemony was elabor
ate and beautiful, and the party spent a
yery pleasant day in Oregon City.
BEHIND THE FOOT LIGHTS.
Notes From the Local Stage.
Harry Corson Clarke will be seen here
on Mav 8th for one night, only in his
new farcical comedy entitled "His Ab
sent boy." The play has been enthu
iaetically received by both press and
public on each presentation, not only on
account of the gilt edged comedy per
formance of the bright particular star,
bntalso because of the w of tbe play
itself, and the fact that it receives a per.
formance of the highest order at the
hands of the company whom Mr, Clarke
has selected to support him. "
The play is a capital comedy depend,
ent for its laughable properties on tbe
screamingly funny situations with
which it is filled, and on the humor of
the dialogue and not on any display of
horseplay or vulgar suggestion that mar
so many farce comedies to-day.
The idea starts from a man who is
fond of the world and its amusements,
but who is held in check by the small
allowance that his strong-minded wife
makes him. He is compelled, in order
to increase bis resources to resort to the
invention of an "absent boy"-a son of
a former marriage whom he has to sop
port. The fun is wrapped around the situ
ation that develops when his wife bids
her husband invite the boy to come
home.
Mr. Clarke has a part that gives him,
perhaps better opportunities than any
thing In which he has yet been seen.
The company is excellent and the
whole forms an entertainment that can
not fail to please even the most critical.
Mention of the name of Harry Corson
Clark at once brings to the mind thoughts
of comedy of fun of laughter, loud and
long pleasant memories, it may be, of
beany amusement afforded in tbe past
Such being the case, it will be welcome
news to all, that the popular comedian
will appear here for one night only on
Tuesday, May 28th presenting his
selected company in his latest and great
est laughing hit "His Absent Boy." The
comedian has been so long before the
public now that it seems superflous to
sbg his praises or those of the product
ion be will give. His name stands every,
where for the best there ia in comedy
and atage management.
Suffice it ia to say that in every city
critics and public bave united in regrad.
ing this latest play as, if possible, the
finest fun-maker, Mr. Clarke has yet
produced. Af to the play itself ; It has
a good' plain story that runs right
through, and has the merit of being per
fectly intelligible through all the maze
of complications that ensue.
The principa'. character, Pennie by
name, is one of those unfortunate in
dividuals who are controlled, together
with tbe rest of the household effects,
by their masterful wives Pennie is so
far under her thorn as to be dependent
on her for the pocket money be receives,
which it iB easily seen, is absolutely too
small an allowance for his pleasure lov
ing nature. He has, therefore esortd
to a diplomatic means to increase his
Blender revenue ind to thi end, has in
vented a son of a Nformer mar iage for
whose suppott be needs $100 a month.
This sum. his wife has unbs itatingly
allowed him, and at the start of the
play he is feeling perfectlj secure, when
for some unknown reasun, Mrs. Pennie
suddenly takes it into her head to have
her husband invite tbe absent toy home.
It is then the fun begins, snd the com
plications folio thick and fast until its
seems as if a solution never could be
reached. One comes, however, and iU
unexpected nature caases not ie least
of the amusement. In Pennie, Mr.
Claike has a part which gives him mag
nibVent opportunities and be extracts
every possible iota of fun from the
piece.
The whole, presents an evening th.t
is fall o! laughter from start to finish.
