HOSE TEAM VICTORIOUS.
Local Racers Win First Prize In Re
gatta Contest.
Oregon City people were very glad to
hear on Wednesday of the success of the
local hose team in the Regatta races at
Astoria, for on that day they won flret
place in the wet test. By coming out
first in this contest, they won $100 prize
. money. This is unusually satisfactory
to local supporters of the team because
of the fact that last year the hose team
believed that Oregon City should have
been awarded this race, but was beaten
out of it by the Astoria team. In the
hub and hub race run Wednesday also,
the local team came out' second best,
also capturing a cash prize.
FOREST FIRES NEAR MOLALLA.
Large Number of Fires, But So Far
Doing Little Damage.
To Dissolve Partnership.
Suit was filed in .the Circuit court
Thursday by attorneys for Dwight F.
Edmunds, who seeks to dissolve the
partnership entered into in August
of last year by himself and Oh as.
Moehnke. Since that time the two
have been operating the Oregon City
Lumber Company. The property of
the Company consists of a sawmill
near Willamette. Edmund charges
that his partner has managed the busi
ness exclusively, denying the plaintiff
acoess to the books, aud even appro
priating money belonging to the firm
to his own use. Edmunds asks that
the property be sold, the debts paid,
and the surplus divided equally be
tween the two. Thomas Gault has
been appointed receiver of the prop
erty pending the settlement.
Accident With Shotgun.
While Chester Carothers and another
boy named Gilbert . Long were play
ing with a shotgun at Oanemah Tues
day afternoon, the firearm was unex
pectedly discharged and a load of
buckshot struck Lizzie Rakel, who
was approaching at a distance cf 200
feet. Carothers pointed the gun at
Miss Rakol in fun aud pulled the
triggor, believing that the safty snap
was on. The girl was struck on the
hand and hip and in the head, causing
severe but not serious wounds. She
probably owes her life to tho fact that
she was so far away from the two
boys.
(From Molalla Correspondent)
There is said to be an extensive fire
burning south of Molalla in the Bear
Creek and Pine Creek country. Should
it be confined to the deadning it will be
a good thing for that country; but
should it reach the high camp region it
might do great damage in a body of fine
larch timber in that country. For a fire
to sweep through the cattle range of the
Molalla would be a great benefit to that
section ; it would kill the underbrush by
which that country is now almost cov
ered. There are fires burning here and
there all through the foot hill but they
are confined mostly to the deadnings
and are not doing much damage.
Homeless Child Adopted.
Tliree-year-old Oecil . Davis has

Ceril Davis to Lydia Eunke.

The complaint states that although
the defendant promised to pay the
above sum to the plaintiff, she has
failod and neglected to do so. Judge
ment for the amount and oosts of the
action is asked.
