He was buried at Elwood Saturday fore ! noon instead of at Colton Saturday af , ternoon, In the card of thanks, the name of Gns Gottbere should have ap- peared in place of the name of Emery " Oregon City has an unusually large numner oi old soldiers, woo are appar ently as young as when thty responded to Lincoln's call. They go dashing up and down the streets on bicycles with as much ease as their grandsons. One of these old heroes lives three or four miles from town and lides home after dark when he has been attending lodge meet ings. It is up to the Southern Pacific Rail road Company to stiffen the wall of its track to the rear of the yard of the elec tric car lines warehouse. When heavy trains pass over the railway track great bowlders are shaken down out of the ground under it. This must gradually weaken the roadway. . A retaining wall of rock is needed to put an end to the undermining oi tbe track.

A Japanese soldier could make a seveiai days' campaign on the quantity thrown by the young lady friends of the bride. Tbe trainmen and a few passengers also became the good natured targets of tbe fair throwers. Te season for Chinook salmon on the A illamette river is now practically at an end . 'Local fishermen say that never before in tbe history of tbe river, has there been such a disappointing season. The only solution seems to be for the Government to take up the work and restore the early runs. Tne one slate hatchery on the upper Clackamas is of great assistance, but cannot be expected to offset tbe heavy gauntlet the fish are required to run in their .journey from the sea to the headwaters of the Clacka mas river. A spur track a quarter of a mile in length has been built recently from the main line of the O. W. P. & Ry. Co's track at Gladstone to allow of the con venient loading of a large amount of cordwood belonging to George Steel. Tbe contract for getting out tbe wood has been let to George Batdorf of this city.

Many are the stories told about the intelligence and fidelity of dogs, but here is one that sets a new lecord f-r cats : L. W. Ingram recently removed from the West Side to Parkplace, a dis tance of over twd miles, leaving the family cat behind to be brought down later. After a day or two Puss made up her mind to locate her master, and bis surprise can be imagined when she walked boldly into his new residence and announced herself with a friendly meow. Her journey required crossing the bridge and passiug down Main street, where there are dogs, cars and other things to frighten a poor lonesome puss. Important Cases Decided. In the circuit court of Multnomah county the decision has been handed down that P. M. Marqnam is entitled to tbe ownership of the building of the same name. The opinion is considered one of the most technical ever given in Multnomah county. The property has been held four 5 ears by the Title Guar antee & Trust Company under foreclos' ure proceedings and the point to the de' cision was that as the company had act ed as a trustee for Marquam it could not bring suit against him.

On Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, the Chinese inmates of the tailor shop of Him Keey- & Co. were awakened by blows on the wall by their neighbor of the candy store. They were aroused none too soon as their quarters were filled with smoke. Tbe roof was burn- ing. Arrival of the fire department's outfit confined the fire to its starting point, tbe damage to tbe candy store be ing nominal. The injury to the build ing, which belongs to tbe John Hcnram estate, is at least 1100. Htm Keey places his loss at WOO, covered by 2uuu insurance. He says tbe fire started in the upper northeast corner of tbe build ing, through some means for which he could not account. They had had no fire in the stove since 9 o'clock the eve ning before. An on-looker at the fire, bile firemen and non-nremen were pouring streams of water into it, re. marked, "If God Mmighty didn't look out ior Oregon City, it would burn down." There was some truth in what he siid. Getting a strong btream of water on the fire was delayed, because there was at first no pressure. Unless a nun, familiar with the mechanism of the pumping station, is kept there at all hours of - the day and the night, to piomptly turn off the pressure which forces the water up the bluff and into tne reservoir at Ely, in case of fire on or near Main street, the day may come when we will be very sorry foi our negligence.

This offer is limited to 20 days. Send your remittances to the Courier. Sample copies on application. Soda Fountain Days We take a lot of pride and interest in our Soda Water department so much so that we have one of the finest soda fountains in the state. We also have an auto matic carbonator which keeps the carbonated water exactly the same all the time. With this new carbonator working automatically you never get flat or insipid soda such as you so often get from the old style fountain. Then when it comes to making ice cream we are right at home We could buy our ice cream ready made cheaper than we can make it ourselves, but we know from .our long experience in the business that there is only one right way to make ice cream and that is with pure sweet cream. We know that ice cream made with starch, flour or gelatine, made to keep for hours, with being packed in ice is unwholesome and injurious, and no matter how NICE it looks it is a good kid to let alone. Our ice cream has always been the talk of strangers and visitors here; hundreds of people wonder why they cannot, jfet such ice cream at home or in Portland; such talk at our fountain b about as common as expressions regarding the weather. It is because our ice cream is pure and made right and without regard to cost. Be sure and get a free ticket with every soda for a chance in the 5 lbs. of Lowney's Candy given away every Saturday.
