OREGON CITY COURIER FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1903 i 1 1 Its Hurry Up Now If you haven't sent in your guess, little folks, it is high time you are doing it. We gave you plenty of time, but it will soon be the of May, and after that no more guesses can be accepted. 3ist So if you want to try lor one of these cash prizes we are offering you will have to hurry up. SEVENTY DOLLARS is what we are going to give to children in Oregon who furnish the best reasons why this house is able to sell as it does, the very best pianos at much lower prices than any other house on the coast. There are just lots of good reasons and many of the children are guessing them. Talk it over with your father. If he cannot help you ask any busi ness man that you know. He will be able to give you a few points. Ask them if a house does an immense wholesale business, what sort of freight rates it is able to secure and what sort of prices it is enabled to make; and if its instruments are shipped without boxing; if that saving in weight is of any advantage. Ask them which is best, large sales at 'moderate profits or small sales at great profits whether it Is better to have a few or a great many peo. pie find out that your pianos are strictly high-grade and reliable and its prices very moderate. Then make your own conclusions and sit down and write what they are. The contest is going to be a big one, much larger than we thought it would be. Guesses are coming in from all over the State and it is a great pleasure for us to learn how many people, even the little folks, are familiar and appreciate what we have done in supplying high-grade instruments at low prices. You do not want to miss the opportunity of showing how bright you can be and of getting a prize, too. HERE IS THE LIST OF PRIZES THEY ARE WORTH TRYING FOR For the best letter For the next best letter For the third best letter For the fourth best letter For the next ten best each $25.00 20.00 10.00 5.00 1.00 All children 16 years old and younger are allowed to guess.

M. out at Highland, gave a basket social for the benefit of their order last Saturday evening. Notwithstanding tbe fact thi.t the lodge started in with onlr sixteen charter members some two or three months ago, they are increasing tbeir membership right along and tbe ladies of that locality talk ,of organizing a "hive." The social was wll attended the ball being full to overflowing with the youth and beauty of the neighbor hood . Twenty-five baskets, filled with good thicga, were placed on sale and Mayor G . H . Dimick, of Oregon City with a ekill trulv remarkable, auctioned them off The Mayor must in some time not far back have had considerable practice in that line of business, for be is certainly an artist. Tbe sale of the baskets netted $23. The highest priced was "old by MisB Ethel Cummins. formerly of Highland but now of this city, for $1 40, Before tbe sale of basketB a short pro gram was well rendered, consisting of music and recitation and so on. The program rendered was as follows: March Flora Welch Recitation John Eight Music Kirk Bros Recitation Pearl Harrington Hong George Harrington Music Kirk Bros Music Frank Ringo Song Flora WeUh The Courier representative was in the "bunch" that went out from Oregon City, the remainder of the party being Mayor Dim ck, State Commander J. W. Sherwood, Fred W. Nelson, and enjoyed the trip emensely. The party took supper with MacKan dle and certainly did justice to Mrs. Kandle's cooking. The roads are fine as far out as Clarnes.but beyond Clarkes are certianly "a fright." No words the writer can command will suffice to de scribe them.

We will put on sale Triday, may $ tsiiislii Triday, Way 15 No. 8 Copper Bottom Wash Boiler If there is anything Molalla can be proud of itis its enthusiasm in the cause of the Grange. The hall erected at the Corners in the short time, since the or ganization cf the subordinate here waa prelected would be a credit to any com munity . Notwithstanding the charming spring weather and the pressure oi iarm work, the attendance on Saturday after noon was about 80 strong. In the fore noon 12 new members were voted in. During the lecturer's hour (J. V. Har- lese) the main topic of discussion was the wool pool. S. rhilippt, a wool pooler from Lane county, who asserted private ly that be had spent $3000 in acquiring information on wool, and had borrowed $200,000, made a Bhort address stating bis scheme, ue would pay tz cents a pound, and after he bad deducted cents per pound from whatever he got over 14 cents, be would turn over what was left to the seller. Hut, an the wool, having been bought outright at 12 cents, would be absolutely bis, the seller would have no means whatever to make 8. PhiliDDi nay over whatever above 13m cents was equitably coming to him. bis wool pooling scheme, which some of the facetious grangers called "wool pulling,' was given tbe cold shoulder, and the effort of tbe wool growers of Molalla to form a pool of their own is being vigor ously Dushed. George Ogle, J. V. Har- lessand John Sawtelle,as the committee of the grange, have tbe matter in band. , The blacksmith question was brought un bv John Cole.as an indication of how the trusts and unions are tightening their grin on tbe farmers. He stated that the local blacksmith had been noti' Bed that he must charge $5 for shoeing horses and if he diBobiyed be would be deprived of his business. If farmers generally would fortify themselves agaioBtsuch onslangh's of their fellowmen as Dr. Thomas has thev could tell the manipulators of high priced horse Bhoeinit to whistle in the wind. He has not alone a shop of his own where he can make everything in the iron or steel line needed on the Oak Point Farm, but by digging a 200-yard ditch be obtained waterpower sufficient to run a circular saw for cutting his tire wood and a mill to chop all the grain fed on the farm. The local telephone line, five miles in length, with Levi Kobbins' store aB center, where it connects with the long riiHirtiH'H line, is so much of a success that whenever the phone of any one of the 10 householders on it gets out of fix he feels lost. He actually can't talk to his neighbors without hunting them up. It will not be long before several more local lines- will established and a switch board lor long distancing them all is in place . Wayne Rubbins and Dr. Thomas were the pui'iie movers in the telephone scheme, the latier's mechanical ingenu ity coming specially into play. On tbe fiist Monday in June, Molalla Giange will celebrate Children's and Flora Day, That no efforts will be spared to make the celebration a note worthy one is evident from the pe'so- nelle of the committees appointed for the occasion, viz: Program committee J. V. Harless, Viola Engle, Zoe Shaver. Decorations coinmittee-liuelah Hungate, Bertha Adams, Hattie Miller, Edna Vick, Mjrtie Cross. John Cole int oduced a resolution during the afternoon session of the Grange which passed, that Pomona be invited in October with baskets or without, but come by all means, is the word tbe brethren of Molalla' send tbe County around.
