OREGON, CITY COURIER,: FRIDAY, MAY .5, 1906
CHANCES ARE
MIGHTY SLIM
Little Hope of Retaining Land
Office Here.
NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN
Remonstrance Against Re
moval to Poiland Will
Be Sent to Wash
ington.
Attorney Bruce O. Carry returned
Sunday from a week's trip in the
Willamette valley, where he has been
circulating a remonstrance against the
removal of the Oregon Oity land
office in Portlaud. ue secured a large
number of signatures ou the west side
of the Willamette but met with unex
pected opposition ou thewest side, es
pecially in Hillshoro and towns near
Portland. It is a grave question
whether or not these signatures will
avail against the determination of the
government to effect the removal of
the office. The remonstrance will be
sent to Washington, together with a
strong letter of protest, but the failure
to receive any sort of an acknowledg
ment to the telegram 'sent President
Roosevelt six weeks ago, has caused a
gloom to settle in the minds of the
opponents of removal, and the chances
are believed to be slim, and well nigh
hopeless.
Secretary of the Interior Hitohoock
iaunalterably opposed to rescindng the
order of removal, and has given
United States Senator Fulton little
satisfaction. Mr. JJ'ultou has written
to the department, setting forth
reasons why the office saould stay
where it has been for so many years,
but no - reply i understood to have
been reoeived.-
Thii notice of removals under date of
M-iroh 25, uuder order of the presi
dent, ' and signed by Commissioner
Richards, of tiie general laud office,
as follows :
Notice is hereby given that the
President of the Uuited States by ex
ecutive order dated March 21, 1905,
has, pursuant to section ?251 of the re
vised statutes of the United States,
and by virtue ot the authority therein
given, directed that the United 'Status
laud offioe, now located at Oregon
Oity, Or., be removed, with its busi
ness, records, and archives, to Port
land, Or.
In pursuance of said executive or
der, the United States Land Office at
Oregon OHy, o Or., - w Ul br, ; parnia-
nently closed and discontinued a (jthe
close of busiueBg hours on June, 30,
1905, and its business records, and ar
chives temoved to Portland, Or., on
July 1, 1905. .
Sived by Dynamite.
Sometimes a flaming city is saved
by dynamiting a space that the fire
can't oross. Sometimes a cold hangs
ou so long you foel as if nothing but
d.vnnmite would cure it. Z. T. Gray,
of Calhoun, Oa., writes: "My wife
had a very aggravated cough, which
kept her awake nights. Two physi
cians conld not help her; no she took
Dr. King's New Discovery for Con
sumption, Coughs and Golds, which
eased her cough, gave her sleep, and
dually cured her." Strictlr soieutiflo
cure for bronchitis and la grippe. At

Canoe Trip From Eugene.
Charles and Fred Warner, students
at the University of Oregon, made a
unique trip two weeks ago from Eu
gene in a canoe, leaving there
at . 10 o'clock Friday morning
and arriving in Oregon City Sun
day afternoon at 1 :30 o'olock. The
first "night out they camped on the
river bank, cooked their sapper and
slept under the canvas sail, and on
Saturday night they slept in a far
mer's barn, after depositing their
stock of matohes with the farmer for
the safety of his barn. The trip was
a very enjoyable one, add the yonng
men were well ; epaid for their exer
tion. As the -fare from Eugene to
Oreogn City is $3.40, and it cost them
$1.40 to ship their boat back to Eu
gene, they are ahead ot the game
$5.40. At least six of the university
students are building canoes and will
make the same trip when the term
oloses in June.
MRS. KR0HN TWICE MARRIED.
After Divorce Her Husband's Repeat
ance Was Short Lived.
Little pity is expressed for Mrs.
Wiebke Krohn. who long ago had
trouble with her husband, Clans
Krohn, who, so she says, got drunk,
came "ome late at night, beat her
and palled her hair, and otherwise
acted in a cruel and inhuman man
ner. When this 'much abused woman
could not stand the actions of her lord
Saturday Evening Post
Ladies' Home Journal
Oregon City Courier
and master longer, she applied fur
divorce and got it. For long they
lived apart, but at length the husband
repented and the more he cast his
eyes over the broad acres owned by
Ins former wife, the stronger Ins re
pentanoe grew, until at last he per
suaded her, in aocents honeyed, that
he had grown to be a better man and
that if she would take him back to
her bosom, he would load a goodly
and righteous life. In a moment ' of
toolishness Mrs. Krohn did this very
thing, and the time was short nntil
her spouse went back to the old ways
and departed form the straight and
narrow path. Now Mrs. Krohn oan
bear the burden no longer and for the
second time -she has coummenced
suit for adivorce. and asks; that her
hubsand be restrained from coming to
her house or molesting her while the
suit is pending. It is sinoerety hoped
that Mrs. Krohn will not become a
third-termer, should she win her suit,
which is likely.
Terrific Race With Deatl.
"Death was fast approaching,"
writes Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa,
Fla., describing his fearful race with
death, "as a result of liver trouble
and heart disease, which had robbed
me of sleep and of all interest in life.
I had tried many different doctors and
several medicines, but got no benefit,
until I began to use Eleotrio Bitters.
So wonderful was their effect, that in
three days I felt like a new man, snd
today I am cured of all my troubles. "

HARND0N WILL NOT MOVE.
Refuses to Vacate to Make Room for
Saloon No. 15.
H. M. Harndon, proprietor of the
Kozy Kandy Kitchen, on Main street,
between Fifth aud Sixth, is in a peck
of trouble over the attempt to oust
him from the prerni es which he has
oocupied for several years. Mr. For
tune has seoured the place lor a new
saloon from the owner, E. D. Kelly,
who served notice upon Harndon to
quit, bnt the latter is obdurate and in
sists that he will not leave unless lie
is forced out. Harndon clhims that
he has a verbal lease of the building,
and such a lease, bo he has been in
formed by two eminent attorneys, runs
a year before it expires. Therefore
Mr. Harndon, secure in legal' advice,
says that lie will not move, and be
cause the location is a choice one, and
also beoause there are now 13 saloons
in Oregon City, aud two more1 con
tracted for, there is a demand for the
fifteenth. Mr. Fortune realizes that
he knows a good thing, and contem
plate a log front and a swell "dump"
in the parlance of the "profesh. "
A Creeping Death.
Blood poiscn creeps up toward the
heart, causing death. J. E. Stearns,
Belle Plaine, Minn., writeB that a
friend dreadfirTly injured his hand,
which swelled up like blooa poisoning,
Hucklen's Arnica Salve drew out the
poison, haled the wound, and saved
his life.' Bent in the world for burns

That County Fair.
OEEGOU; CITY, Or., R: F. D. No.
4, April 29.' (Editor Courier). Some
years ago I and my brother attended
the Marquam fair and were much as
tonished at the good displays of (arm
products and live stock we saw.
There were several hundred wagons
and rigs of all description standing
in the road and in the grove near -by
and the fair ground was crowded.
Everybody seemed to hav a good
time, new acquaintances were made
and the fair was a success, finan
cially as well as in evory other way.
On the way home we were wonder
ing if such a fair could not be held
in Oregon City and Came to the con
clusion that our county sent could do
even a little ' better.-" Had we a
county fair ' last fall, it would have
been an easy thing to get a big ex
hibit of agriculutural products for
the Lewis and Clark Exposition. If
a list is circulated to raise funds for
a oounty fair, let the committee not
forget to call on Schmidt Bros., of
Shubel. If something is to be done,
it must be done soon, go we not only
will have threshed grain and vegeta
bles but grasses, clovers and sheaf grain
also. Yours for success,
GEO. SCHMIDT.

ACCUSED OF BIGAMY.
Sensational Affidavit Filed by Columbus
Parish Against Peter Kern.
Alleging that Peter Kern was a big
amist when he married Mrs. Patsy
Parish, a petition was filedJTnetday in
the oounty court asking that the let
ters of administration issued to Kern
be revoked. Columbus Parish filed
an affidavit, in which he states that
his mother was married May 8, 1902,
to Peter Kern, who at that time had
a wife living in Augsburg, (iermany,
from whom iyo had not been di
vorced, and from evidence obtained
from Germany, she was still living
Deo. 4, 1904. The said marriage to
Patsy Parish was therefore null and
void.
Chsmberlaln's Cough Remedy the Very Best
"I have been using Chamberlain's

the best cough medicine I have ever
taken,'' says Geo. L. Chubb, a mer
chant of Harlan, Mich. There is no
question about its being the best, as
it win cure a cougn or com in less
time than any other treatment. It
should always be kept in the house
ready for instant use, for a cold can
be enred in much less time when
promptly treated.. For sale by Geo.

Attractive Booklet on the Fair.

on the Lewis and Clark Fair that
has vet been issued is the Great

tions of the Fair. A direotory to the

principal buildings, and a history of
the Fair is followed by a little story.

An Editor's Opinion ot Royal Gorge.
Edyth Tozier Weatherred, in des
cribing a recent trip over the Donver
& Bio Grande Railroad, says in "The
Exposition :" -
'"At last the goal of the ambition
of years has been reached marvelous,
wonderful, grand and inspiring Royal
Gorge is on either hand. The only
disappointing thing is you only have
one pair of eyes, while the train darts
in and out of tne tremendous chasm.
If any who have never seen it are
wondering how it looks just go and
sec Thousands have tried to Des
cribe it, yet every attempt falls short
of giving the subjeot justice. "
