Bringing joy to the soutathat are sighing in the hovels where poverty dwells Theie is life there is life for the dying in the beautiful Bethlehem bellsv Far off in a land that is lovely for the tender, sweet story it tells, In the light of a glorious morning rang the beautiful Bethlehem bells ; And still, in the hearts of creation an anthem exultingly swells At that memory sweet of the ringing of the beautiful Bethlehem bells! They rang o'er tbe bills and the valleys, they summoned tbe glad world that day From regions of night to tbe radiant light of the cot where the Beautiful lay. And forever and ever and ever a wonderful melody dwells In the tender, sweet ringing and singing of tbe beautiful Bethlehem bells. For they sing of a love thit i deathless a live that still triumphs in loss; They sing of tbe love that is leading tbe world to tbe Calvary cross ; Ring sweet o'er the sound f the cities ring sweet o'er tbe hills and the dells. And touch us with tendered pitien, oh, beautiful Bethlehem bells! Clackamas County fias Prospered Vear 1903 Ijas Witnessed tbe Begin nlng of ttlany Hew Industries. . The year 1903 has proved very satis factory for Clackamas county and Ore gon City, its county: seat. Beginning with Oregon City more new buildings have been completed and are under construction than in any two years in her history. The Garde build ing, the Methodist church building, the new depot of the Oregon Watrr Power & Railway c mpany, the, splendid new structure replacing the plai.t of tbe burne i out department of the Oregon City Manufacturing company, better known as the woolen mills' aie among the most noteworthy. All of these buildinga.have either been finished dur ing the year or will be completed short ly. The new Ice plant being put up near Green Point on Main Btreet and J. P. Lovett's ice plant, which was re-established several months ago, bIiow the progress of manufacturing eatabiish nlents, while the paper mills and the rortlana General Electric company 'ave bjth spent thousands of dollars en 1 irging and renovating their plants. There are fully a score more of new. business houses, here than there wlb a year ago. Fifty new residences have been constructed within the limits of the town, and altogether the growth of the city has been more rapid than in any year of her history. The rural districts are nt behiod in progressiveness. From almost every country village in the bounds' of the county comes the report o, improve mnt in many ways. Farms have been I'Ut in a better state of cultivation Many new homes have been built be cause the old ones were not commodious enough to suit the tastes of the farmers in hia prosperous days. The resourses of Clackamas county . ,rvnu .:,,s:x Mckle . iff a are many. Her . fertile soil stretches from the footh'Us of the Coast range to the foothillB of the Cascades. Her swift flowing streams and cataracts fur nish water power suitable for the run ning of 100 manufacturing establish ments. Her soil produces an abundance ot all and any crops that (an be grown in the Willamette valley. Back in the Cascades there are tens of thousands r f ' acres of virgin forests in which the woodman's ax has never been heard. There is fir, hemlock and larch in abundance, with a fair sprinkling of cedar. Furthur back in the mountains there are mineral deposits that are only waiting the coming of hardy miners to make that section one of the richest in the country. Gold, copper, silver and coal have been found in paying quanti ties and more development hag been done in mining than in any previous year. An industry that is worthy of special mention is that of dairying, which ia be ing engaged in with gaeat profit in cer tain sections. The Logan cheese factory ' which is a co-operative concern, is turn ing out a produu second to none in the county. The Clear Oreek creamery, in the same part of the county, ia handling the milk from 200 to 300 cows and the . farmers who are interested and a source of income that is infinitely sat isfactory. In the way "i road-making much has Deen aone during the year. Ssveral new high roads have been constructed. The Oregon Water Power's new line up tbe Clackamas has put the farmers in that part of the county within easy reach of the Portland markets. Al together the year just closing has been a most satifactory one to Clackamas county people. Exercises at Barclay School.
