Some weeks since Mrs. L. W. Mc- Adam, tbe principal of tbe Eastbam school, was attacked through the cilumns of a local paper by County Su perintendent J. C. Zinser. Among other statements Mr. Zinser inferred that Mrs. McAdam was not a qualified teacher for the Bchool of Oregon City, that she was frivolous and paid more attention to matters of dress than to training tbe minds of the young peo ple under her care. The members of the school board scoffed at Zinser's statements at the time and gave out the statement that his remarks were en tirely uncalled for. Dr. W. E. Carll, Chairman, of the School Board, has banded the Courier a s'gned a statement for publication concerning the matter which is given below. Oregon City, Or., Sept. 21, '03. A statement to the patrons and tax iay. ere of school district 62, Oresron City. The letter of County Superintendent Zinser, relative to the qualifications of Mrs. McAdam, who has taught 14 years in this state, recently elected by this bmrd to act as principal of the Eastham school, I consider as uncalled lor and one which a gentleman in his position should not have published or written. The onlv p irtion of his statement I can possibly take any notice of is the one relative to Mrs McAdam's qualifica tions to teACh. I fcow I voice the sen timents of the whole Bchool boar 1 whe.i I 8'ale that it is not the hi ten' ion of this hoord to employ anv teachers who are not prooerly qualified to serve the district well and satisfactorily. 1 will briefly state that Mrs MeAdam has an Oregon liie diploma, an Oregon State diploma, three county certificates from Oregon and a state certificate from another state besides. . . The above paragraph answers all of his tatter worthy of not.ee or of interest to the patrons of the school. Signed, W. E. Carll, Ch'm. ot Oregm City School Bari, Congregation tl Association The55th annual mn ti'ig of the Gen eral Association of Congregational churches of Oregon, will meet with with the Congregational church of Oregon City next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

W, ChauBse, editor of the Observer, of Grant's Pass, is the defendant in a $10,. 000 libel suit brought against him by R D. Hume, the well known canneryman and packer at the mouth of Rogue river Mr. Hume feels that he has been damaged to the amount of $10,000 by a recent article that appeared in the Observer. However, troub'e has been brewing between the two for several years, and the suit now pending is but the result of a feud of long standing Thecas- will be heard in the coming term of Josephine Circuit Court, which convenes next week. The article was printed August 15 ,and headed "Lord Hume, of the Lower Rogue."

THE MORNINQ TUB cannot be enjoyed in a btsia of liniiteJ capacity nor where the water supply and temperature is uncertain by reason of defective plumbing or heating apparatus. To hare both pnt n thorough working order will not prove expensive if the work is done by .- ; nu; Along New Line of Oregon Water Power and Railway. Within a week's time the Oregon ! Water & Railway Company will be run- I ning thromeh trains to its power plant on tbeClaiktmas river, and unhss some accident happens in the mtaitime, the whizz of fast speeding electric and steam trains will be heard all along tbe new , O, W. P, &. R. Company's lEastern line. . , Tbe town that is building at the Clack-1 amas river power plant will be named Ca:idero, which in the Indian tongue , means "the bunting ground." It was ! the rirtt intention o the officials to name the new city Clackamas Falls or Clackamas Rapids But it is said that when tbe government postal officeiB heard of the new names they mde an objection to both of them on the grounds thatthe mails to the future town would get mixed with that addressed to tbe poetoffiee named Clackamas, which is near Oregon City. The new division of this railway sys tem extends some 38 miles east of Port land and passes through several little cities that are said be growing very rap idly. Among these towns are Gresham. Boring, Barton, E igle Creek and Cur- rinsville. Many other stops will be made along the route, but the above named places are the most important ones at present. Many people are of tbe opinion that wirhin the next few years a large number of new towns will build up along this ro.td . Two passenger trains will run dailv during the first few weeks of the through Bervice between Portland and Cazi'iero. Three or more trains will run d,iily as far as Boring. Additional through trails to the Clackamas power plant will be put on as the business demands. The freight traffic will be haudled by several daily trains. As the section of the country tapped by this road is one of the richest farming communities in this part of the state, the railway of ffcials are expecting the freight business of tha line to grow very rapidly. At first but three or four daily freight trains may run out of Portland, but the building of new mills along the route the freight ser. vie will be improved All the trains from Portland will use electromotive power as far aa Boring; steam will be used from this point to the eud of the line until the Clackamas power house at Caz.ulero is completed. The railwav company officials are said to be planning several excursions to "the hunting ground" city ss soon as tbe line is completed. MOLALLA. The farmers in this section are highly pleased ovr the good weather, and the majority of them are through thresh ing. 'Those who have not threshed have stacked their grain.. , .. . The boys have cleaned up their shot guns and are impatiently waiting for Oct. 1st to come. Tbe Chinas do not seem to he as plentiful in this section as usual, owing perhaps to there being too many dogs and guns last season. Toere have been parties here for the past two or three years from Washington. They would arrive on the last day of Spetem her and would hunt a day and a half and would take from one hundred to two hundred birds. If they come again this season they may meat with a rather cool reception from some of the parties upon whose places they havebien htnt- ug heretofore. There have beeu complaint alraist every week this summer about people huntingdeer with hounds in the north fork country, where deer were plentiful last season scarcely a deer cm be found now. There seems to be but few deer killed in that section, but have all been chased away. UnlessitceaBes some one will Burely have a hue to pay. Uncle Jake Harless and Mr. Fair- clotigh have gone to the Ole Creek mines. Mr. Kizer will commence werk again at bis mines. He has put in an arasta this entntne and has it almost in running order, The railroad survey that was recent ly made a few miles west, of here, has caused but little excitement There h ive been so many furveysand so much talk the last sew years and no road yet, that itcoascsto cxritc the MUlla people any more. Our mail carrier, 9. J. VanghAn, has changed bis time of ftarting in tbs morning from 0 o'clock to 7 o'clock. This will give the people more time to catch the stage. X.Y.Z. Redland.
