The Fair Commission has offered
cash prizes aggregating $2,750 for the
five best exhibits, $ 100 for the county
making the best exhibit of natural re
sources and considering the personnel
of the committee, which is made up
of publio spirited men and women,
from all parts of the county and the
praotically limitless field on whioh to
devote their energies, Clackamas
oounty has reason to expect this prize.
Tiie exeoutive committee will keep
in touch with the general committee
and may call a meeting of the general
committee whenever it oonsiders it ad
visable. This oommittee is also au
thorized to fill any vacanoies that
may from any cause occur.
A meeting of the executive com'
niittee will be held on Monday after
noon, October 24, at one o'clock in
the county court room for the purpose
of organization and to formulate
plans for the exhibit,
EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT.
Schools of County Will Make Display
at the Big Fair.
The schools of Clackamas county
will have an educational exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark Fair. A number
of the teachers of the county met in
the office of County Superintendent
Zinzer Saturday afternoon and dis-
oussed the matter with Superintend
ent H. S. Lyman, of Clatsop oounty,
who will have charge of the general
exhibit. The cost of the paper and
the binding will be defrayed by the
Fair Commission, and all papers (that
require binding must be in the hands
of the Commission not later than
March 1, next.
Professor Lyman addressed the
teachers and spoke enthusiastically of
the work, which has been taken up
by educational people throughout the
state, notably Superintendent of City
Schools, Frank Rigler, of Portand.
The question arose during the discus
sion as to the expense of obtaining '
collection, and this is a problem
that will have to be solved. Another
meeting will be held m the near fu
ture, when details will be arranged.
The Educational exhibit of Oregon
at the St. Louis Exposition will be
packed and brougth to Portland after
the close of the St. Louis Fair, and
will be exhibited intact at the Lewis
and Clark Fair, bnt many additions
will be made to it.
In Marion county and Multnomah
county the expense of collecting a
county exhibit is being borne by the
districts of Salem and Portland, re
spectively. The schools of Oregon City
are now engaged in preparping an
exhibit, but is very improbable that,
the expense of collecting a Clackamas
county ehxibit will be maintained by
the Oregon City district.
Sanatorium at Eagle Creek.
Dr. C. B. Smith has purchased at
at auction sale, 814 acres of land at
Eagle Creek, and proposes to erect a
sanatorium there. The property is
vrey choice for anything that savors
of a heatlh nature, as it is well situa
ted and adjoins the depot of the Ore
gon Water Power & Railway Com
pany. The property heretofore be
longed to the Jacques heirs, and was
sold yesterday at the courthouse door
by Mrs. Wilbern, adiranistrator of the
etsate. The bidding was not very
spirited and the land went to Dr.
Smith for $117.50 au acre. The sale
is subject to confirmation by the
county court.

LAST CHANCE
ON TUESDAY
Council to Take Final Vote On
Railroad Ordinance
NO CHANGE IN SITUATION
Action of Citizens Problemati
cal and It Is Not Known
If Steps Will Be Taken
to Prevent Passage.
Tuesday night, October 25, is the
time set for final action on the fran
chise ordinance. At that time it will
be seen whether the common council
will act in the interest of the people
whom they are supposed to repre
sent, or in the interest of a corpora
tion that has never shown any par
ticular favors to our city. There , is
no anti-railroad feeling exrpeBsed, bat
it is well understood that any such
corporation naturally seeks its own
advantage rather than the welfare of
the city. It is not to be charged up
to them as a wrong. On the other
hand the connoil should represent the
people, and secure 'for themselves all
that v can be secured by honorable
means. Such are the sentiments ex
pressed by our leading taxpayers and
citizens.
Whether legal steps will be taken to
prevent the granting of a perpetual
franchise is unknown at this writing.
No change has occurred in the situ
ation as at has existed for several
weeks past. i
New Teacher for Public Schools.
Miss Josephine Oreelman was Mon
day night elected a teaoher for the
Oregon City schools at a salary of

siding in Vancouver, Wash., and

town, Iowa. Miss Oreelman is re
lated to Mrs. E. M. Rands and is a
teacher of experience and ability.
The board of directors decided to
fit up the space 20x30 feet off the
Barclay school gymnasium for a new
school room, of which Miss Oreelman
will have charge There is sufficient
room in the gymnasium to permit of
taking some space fpr a school room,
and Chairman Ohargles Albright was
authorized to proceed to have the
room partitioned off and to have it
fitted up with school furniture and
other necessary fittings.

JUDGMENT FOR NIQHTENGALE,
Obtains Decree for $462.37 and Lein on
Sawmill and Real. Property.
Judge McBride handed down a de
cree Saturday in the oase of L. O.
Nightengale vs A. H. Kichfor$4fi2.87,
and ordered that the .ludizmeiit hn
considered as a first lien on 1G0 acres
of land and a sawmill at Wilhoit.
The plaintiff also recovers his costs
and disbursements of the action.
Nightengale and Rich were partners
in the sawmill business near Wilhoit,
in what is known as the Austin mill,
the only large steam mill in that
country. Thoy bought the mill and
100 acres of land from a man named
White, of Sootts Mills, receiving a
bond for deed, but before the money
had been paid and the deed mado from
White to the partners, Nightengale
and Rich disagreed and agreed to dis
solve partnership, Nightengale mak
ing a bill of sale for his share of the
property to Rioh, together with a con
tract, specifying the terms of salo,
the bill of sale being placed in escrow,
to remain there until all the Condi
tions of the contract hart been com
piled with on the part of Rich. The .
man who held the bill of sale in
i escrow turned it over to Rich before
the latter had ooinplied with his part
I of the contract, and showing White
the bill of sale, had him make a deed
to Rich's daughter, and then refused
to make the . payments, wherupon
WW8 instituted suit in the
Circuit Court to set aside the transfer
Nightengale instituted suit in the
. and establish his rights.
Boy Shot by bis Uncle.
An eight year old boy, named Kyle,
was the victem of an aooidental
shooting at Aurora Wednesday after
noon of lust week and is in a critical
oondition as a result of the aooidont.
George Muesitt, a well known citi
zen of Aurora, was hunting Chinese
pheasants in a field, and shot a bird,
crippling it, so that it fell and landed
in the thick branches of a tall tree.
Young Kyle who' is a nephew of
Muesitt, saw the bird fall, and
olimbed the tree, bnt was not seen
by his uncle, who saw the limbs
rustling in the top of the tree, and
fired a shot, thinking the bird was
alive and would end its suffering.
Some of the shot struck the boy in
the back, entering his liver and kid
neys. His oondition is very serious
and his reoovery is doubtful. Muesitt
is is overcome with grief ou aocount
of the accident. '
The Oregonian says editorially:
"Mr. Muositt, of Oregon City,
has added variety to that long list of
fatalities due wholly to the stupidity
and criminal carelessness of
Usually the victim is mistaken for a
deer or a bear, but for a hnv tn ho
mistaken for a pheasant and receive a
mortal wound is something new. So
far as the safoty of human life is con
' cerned, it does not make much differ-
ence what kind of game these reckless
hunters are pursuing. In their eagor-
ness to kill everything within the
range of their vision which shows
signs of life nothing is safe from
thorn. The death roll caused by these
careless hunters runs into large num
bers every year, and the only punish
ment that they ever sutl'er is that
inflicted by their own minds. Uniinr.
takers and doctors will be deprived of
uVu;r?ule revenue lr a law is passed
.Ij
their possession."
